Chapter 160 - Poison Beasts

Even though it was supposed to be dawn, daylight did not reach where they were.

The Nine Devil Mountains’ reputation for its bad weather was not to be taken lightly. Long Chen had a good grasp of the time, but he saw that the sky was still dark when he walked out of the room. Everything was pitch black to the point that he could barely see his fingers.

Dark clouds covered the skies and hung low on the mountain. They blocked off the top half of the Nine Devil Mountains, enshrouding them in lightning and thunder.

An occasional thunderclap caused everyone’s hair to stand on end.

It was the darkest day Long Chen had ever seen.

“It’s already past dawn and yet it’s still so dark. It seems the weather is very bad today.”

Gu Batian frowned.

Long Chen and Gu Batian had stayed together in the same residence. Thanks to that, Long Chen had the time to talk to the two geniuses of the Violet family. Both of them were at the mid Earthly Core Realm. One of them was Gu Cheng, the grandson of Gu Batian, who had been invited to join the qualifiers directly. The other person, Liu Gui, was slightly weaker.

“The three of you must work together if there’s danger up there. The weather today is very bad, so it might be very hard to traverse Heaven’s Path.

“I understand, Grandfather. If Long Chen is in trouble, we will help him.”

Long Chen was indeed the weakest one among them. Gu Batian had given special instructions for both of them to look after Long Chen, and they had agreed.

“I will have to thank you in advance.”

Long Chen thanked them for their hospitality.

Even though they had just met not too long ago, Long Chen was grateful to Gu Batian for treating him kindly.

Even though Gu Batian had only helped him out due to his own rivalry with Chu TIanxiong, Long Chen was still grateful.

Liu Yuan and Liu Lan were behind them.

They didn’t know what to do after Long Chen’s stint yesterday. Everything was now in the past, and Long Chen had a grudge with Chu Tianxiong. If Long Chen did not pass the qualifiers, he would be dead.

Thankfully, Gu Batian seemed to have taken a liking to Long Chen and might be able to help him next time.

Liu Lan was still as pretty as ever, a sight for sore eyes on this dark day. Seeing how the qualifiers were going to start soon, Long Chen recalled what she had promised him before and chuckled.

“What are you looking at?”

Liu Lan blushed at how Long Chen was gazing at her.

“I just want to know whether you are ready or not. About tomorrow night.”

No one knew what they were referring to. Even Liu Yuan was in the dark.

While the Devil Wood was an exclusive plant found in the Devil Mountains, there were beasts that called this place home that could not be found anywhere else. They were known as Poison Beasts.

Poison Beasts are mutated beasts. They are much more deadly than normal beasts because they can release poison or venom. If your luck is bad, you might meet poison beasts that are capable of poisoning even someone at the late Heavenly Core Realm!

Liu Yuan had explained the characteristics of the mountain to Long Chen yesterday.

Long Chen knew that the reason why Heaven’s Path was deadly was because of the Poison Beasts. They were still at the base of the mountain, so they wouldn’t encounter anything too deadly, but the forest would be crawling with them once they ascended a certain distance!

You need to protect your bracelet while fending off the attacks from the Poison Beasts. Heaven’s Path is extremely difficult ...

The air around the mountain was humid. The leaves and dirt were covered in moisture. It wasn’t long before Long Chen was covered in sweat.

Yin Mengyao, on the other hand, looked slightly better. She took more care in maintaining her appearance.

She had been walking in front of Long Chen the whole time. She was wearing a tight suit that showcased her curves but was comfortable to fight in.

“Long Chen, do you remember what I told you?”

Yin Mengyao was opening up the path while talking to him.

“I remember. If there’s an enemy, all I need to do is to hide and not be the hero.” Long Chen sighed. Still, he did not have any ill intention towards her since she was courteous.

“Your priority is to stay alive. Do not venture too far from me.”

“Alright.”

Yin Mengyao was satisfied that Long Chen knew his limits, so she did not remind him anymore.

The further up they ascended, the more humid the air got. The sound of thunder was gradually closing in on them. Their surroundings were pitch black and they had to rely on the occasional lightning flash to see their surroundings.

“We should be approaching the area where Poison Beasts will show up.”

Long Chen saw some markings on the trees made by Poison Beasts or Poison Insects and became alert.

“Both Poison Insects and Poison Beasts are demonic beasts, but they are even more difficult to deal with than normal ones. Once we get poisoned, our lives will be in immediate danger.”

“Long Chen, someone is approaching you.” Ling Xi had been earnestly scanning their surroundings for the presence of living beings ever since they started ascending. Long Chen was much safer with her power to detect danger.

“Hey, stop. Someone’s coming over.” Long Chen stopped and pointed at where Ling Xi told him to look.

Yin Mengyao was puzzled. She couldn’t sense anything over there. She was about to question him when she frowned and stood in front of Long Chen.

She had heard the sound of crunching leaves.

Two cultivators walked out of the darkness. They couldn’t see who they were until they got closer.

“It seems that they only know our approximate location.”

Long Chen recognized the two of them. They were the two cultivators from the Red family that Dongfang Xuanxiao had warned him about. They knew roughly which direction to go because they were the ones who had gone up the mountain just before Long Chen and Yin Mengyao.

When both parties saw each other, the Red family instantly ran towards Yin Mengyao.
