Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Mistakenly Entering the Territory (Third Update)

So as soon as night fell, everyone chose to hide away and avoid conflicts with these fierce beasts, conserving their energy for the next day when the beasts retreated, and then continuing to participate in the competition.

For many years, this had become an unwritten rule of the Snow Lotus Conference.

One night, the competition paused, and the participants collectively sought shelter.

Of course, there had been those arrogant participants in the past who were too big for their boots.

One of them was a Xuan Rank Perfection expert.

He believed he was invincible in the world!

So at night, he intentionally didn’t hide, relying on his strength to battle various fierce birds and beasts, trying to show off his prowess.

As a result, his body was found the next morning.

That year, there were no cultivators at the Earth Rank Early Stage competing; if he hadn’t been so arrogant, he actually had a good chance of winning.

And now? The grass over his grave was already more than a meter tall.

This brings to light just how dreadful the fierce beasts of Snow Lotus Mountain really are...

Chen Feng, Wang Cheng, and Bing Qingxuan were rather fortunate.

Guided by the map and with all three of them being strong, they hastened along at top speed and finally found a cave before the blizzard struck.

On Snow Lotus Mountain, a cave was considered one of the safest places to hide.

So, without hesitation, the three of them ducked into it.

Inside the cave, it was as pitch-black as the cave Chen Feng had first entered upon arriving at Snow Lotus Mountain, best described as being so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

Because there was no source of light inside the cave at all. noveldrama

However, this did not pose a problem for Wang Cheng.

It must be said that Wang Cheng was well-prepared; he directly took out a luminous pearl the size of a goose egg from his Space Ring.

This was not a typical luminous pearl, but one that had been specially processed to be much brighter than normal.

The moment Wang Cheng took the luminous pearl out of the Space Ring, the cave was instantly lit.

Following that, Wang Cheng took out two more pearls from the Space Ring, giving one each to Chen Feng and Bing Qingxuan.

With three luminous pearls, the cave suddenly became bright.

After distributing the luminous pearls to Chen Feng and Bing Qingxuan, Wang Cheng went alone into the deeper parts of the cave.

He wanted to see if there was anyone else hiding inside.

Although now everyone had tacitly ceased hostilities,

he still feared some more deceitful individuals might attack them from ambush.

It would be a terrible loss if they were ambushed while resting.

Thus, it was still better to conduct a thorough check, just to be safe.

To this, Chen Feng naturally had no objections.

After Wang Cheng went in, Chen Feng stood at the entrance of the cave, observing the surroundings. _{f|re(e)web.n\ovel. (c)o.m}

The location here was quite concealed. As long as there was no one hidden inside, blocking the entrance with a rock later and having someone on watch during the night would ensure their safety.

After observing the surroundings of the entrance, Chen Feng turned and scanned the inside of the cave, which was relatively clean.

It didn’t really need cleaning, and would be fine to stay in for the night.

"Brother Chen, come quickly and see what this is!"

However, it was at that moment that Wang Cheng’s voice came from the deepest part of the cave.

From his tone, it didn’t sound like he was in danger, but rather like he had discovered something.

Hearing this, Chen Feng and Bing Qingxuan were slightly stunned, exchanged glances, and then quickly walked toward the deepest part of the cave.

It must be said, the cave was quite deep; from the entrance to the deepest part, it was at least two hundred meters.

However, for Chen Feng and Bing Qingxuan, two cultivators, this was nothing. Before long, they had reached the deepest part of the cave.

Using the light of the Luminous Pearl, they saw that at that moment, Wang Cheng was squatting on the ground alone.

In front of him lay a large beast skin.

Since it lacked a head, they could not distinguish what kind of beast it belonged to; however, the fur all over its body was snow-white, and it seemed to be some kind of wild beast from Snow Lotus Mountain.

Seeing this, both Chen Feng and Bing Qingxuan frowned.

If there were a wild beast’s corpse inside the cave, that would have been normal.

But there was only a piece of beast skin, and it seemed to have been there for some time, as the bloodstains on it had already dried.

As for the bones and head, there was no trace to be seen.

That was rather strange!

At this time, Wang Cheng stood up, looked at Chen Feng, and indicated the white beast skin spread on the ground with a somewhat solemn expression, "Brother Chen, if I’m not mistaken, we must have trespassed into some wild beast’s territory!"

"Oh? What makes you say that?"

Chen Feng frowned, puzzled.

"This beast skin lying here indicates that something resides here, and in Snow Lotus Mountain, no people live here; only one thing could reside here, and that is the fierce beasts from inside the mountain!"

"Moreover, this must be a powerful fierce beast. I heard my brother say that some of the strong fierce beasts of Snow Lotus Mountain kill other wild animals and spread their skins in their territory to use as beds to sleep on, to show their strength and to warn intruders,"

Wang Cheng took a deep breath, his face grave as he spoke.

"So you’re saying we’ve trespassed into a fierce beast’s territory now?"

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes as he asked.

Before Wang Cheng could respond, Bing Qingxuan nodded her head to the side first, saying, "Exactly, I suggest we leave quickly. Fierce beasts of this level have strength comparable to Xuan Rank Perfection, and since they have beastly bodies with immense strength, once they truly lash out, even someone at Xuan Rank Perfection may not be a match for them!"

"Bing lady is right, before the actual battle arrives, it’s better we don’t engage with it!"

Wang Cheng added.

"Alright, then we must find another place!"

Chen Feng nodded in agreement.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of this so-called fierce beast, but there really was no need to fight it.

There were no rewards, and it would just be a waste of energy.

Therefore, avoiding the fight was the wisest choice.

Since they were in agreement, the three of them didn’t hesitate any longer and turned to head towards the cave entrance.

"ROAR!!!"

However, just at that moment, a roar full of anger suddenly came from the direction of the entrance.

Hearing this, all three of them changed their expressions slightly.

"It’s over, the fierce beast must have returned, and I think it has already discovered someone has trespassed on its territory!"

Wang Cheng said, a troubled look on his face.

"What should we do now?"

Panic also flashed through Bing Qingxuan’s eyes.

For certain reasons, she was particularly knowledgeable about the fierce beasts in these mountains.

She was very aware that if a completely enraged fierce beast was encountered, even an Earth Rank Early Stage cultivator would need to keep their distance.

And now, with their three people’s strength against such a fierce beast, the chances of survival were really slim.

"Don’t panic, let’s put away the Luminous Pearl first!"

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, and then instructed the two.

At this moment, among the three, Chen Feng was the only one who could still remain calm...
