Chapter 450: Chapter 299: Ghost Peak’s Hidden Armory, Silver Spear of the Ghost Python, Green Snake Leaves the Island, the Lady Arrives (3)

Looking around, it was indeed dangerous. The mountain path was steep and rugged, and the trees were twisted. Before entering the mountain, a strong Yin Qi was felt. The area was full of fierce beasts, and the howls of wolves and roars of tigers could be heard from time to time. Li Xian circled several miles, observing the surrounding mountain terrain.

He smelled a pungent odor.

"This smell is wolf urine. It seems that this Ghost Peak is ravaged by wolves."

This is a place that harbors hidden dangers and absorbs Yin. Li Xian has been hunting since childhood and knows well the strange and treacherous mountain terrain, even though he has surpassed the clay embryo and possesses exceptional skills. He cannot afford to be careless. He followed the path into the mountain, and after a short while, felt the temperature drop abruptly and the light grow dim. It was just past dawn with bright sunlight, yet the trees here, though not particularly tall, completely blocked the sunlight.

After traversing several miles, he suddenly heard a "rustling" noise behind him. A black wolf suddenly attacked, leaping fiercely toward him. Li Xian turned his spear and thrust it, piercing through its skull.

Then, with a quick flick, the wolf’s body flew several meters, crashing into another lurking black wolf. Both fierce wolves convulsed, dying instantly.

Li Xian thought to himself, "The wolves here are indeed more cunning and ferocious than elsewhere." He exhaled a white mist that attached to the spear shaft and flowed to the spear tip; the bloodstains scattered upon contact, leaving the spear gleaming as if new. His gaze swept across, revealing dozens of black wolves staring intently at the scene.

Suddenly, a wolf howl was heard.

The pack emerged from the shadows, fixing their gaze on Li Xian, filled with repulsive killing intent. These wolves were exceptionally strong, with sturdy limbs and fangs several inches long, dripping saliva from the tips.

The leading black wolf was exceptionally unusual, as mighty as a tiger, with three fleshy mounds on its head. Its eyes showed intelligence, staring coldly, its fangs and claws sharp, exuding intense ferocity.

Surrounded by wolves intent on killing him, Li Xian was not afraid but rather angry, shouting: "A bunch of loathsome beasts! How dare you show your ferocity." As he spoke, a "Chest Drum Thunder Sound" resonated. With a sudden "boom", it felt like a bolt from the blue, intimidating all around. Several surrounding trees snapped with a loud "crack".

Trees dozens of meters away showered their leaves to the ground. The force of this shout was beyond description.

The fleshy mound wolf king had a natural resistance to the "Chest Drum Thunder Sound". It howled to the sky, commanding the pack, its tone echoing the essence of an Essence-Eating Martial Artist’s "Chest Drum Thunder Sound".

However, Li Xian’s spine stood tall like a divine mountain, his Chest Drum Thunder Sound was akin to the Nine Heavens’ profound thunder, along with his "Heavy Pupils and Strange Eyes" and other intimidating methods such as "Ghostly Fierce Garment". Though not overtly displayed, the subtle aura and flavor were already extremely powerful. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

This thunderous sound spread with the force of a wild wave sweeping through, a thunderbolt dazzling the surroundings, the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping, like a black army pressuring the battlefront. Despite the wolves’ numbers, they were unable to withstand it.

The fleshy mound wolf king immediately scared and fled, while the ordinary dozens of black wolves, stronger ones were defecating uncontrollably, their limbs weak, stumbling awkwardly as they tried to escape. Weaker ones fell to the ground convulsing, more exhaling than inhaling, no longer fit to live.

Li Xian shouted: "Hey!!"

This second shout, again like thunder abruptly sounding. All the wolves were instantly killed, with only the fleshy mound wolf king barely surviving. Its fur stood erect, no longer daring to flee, it ran back to Li Xian’s feet, showing its belly, its four feet skyward, and whimpered like a dog.

Li Xian took out a dagger. He cut off the three fleshy mounds. The wolf king whimpered pleadingly, but Li Xian ignored it completely. These fleshy mounds, known as "wolf crown meat", are extremely rare medicinal materials.

Li Xian kicked the wolf king away with his foot, saying: "Get lost." The wolf king was greatly terrified as it crawled away weakly. Despite surviving this scare, it wouldn’t live much longer.

Left behind were wolf corpses all over the ground, along with a foul stench of excrement. Li Xian stepped in a "Seven Stars Step", proceeding deeper. Though there were some minor bumps along the way, he could easily resolve them.

Soon he reached a rock wall.

Looking up, a dozen meters above the ground, a silver spear was wedged into a rock crack. The spear shaft was covered in vines, densely packed with moss, remaining lodged in the rock crevice for a long time.

Li Xian’s eyesight was excellent, vaguely observing the spear’s patterns, feeling pleased, thinking: "This spear has been wedged in the rock crevice for a long time, weathered by wind and sun, yet remains straight and clear; the texture and material are evidently special, extremely strong and durable. Moreover, I observe that the surrounding rock wall is covered in cracks, the aura it emits... probably very heavy!"

He had heard that the silver spear was guarded by a "ghost python", so he dared not be careless. He stayed at the foot of the mountain to observe. After waiting for about half an incense stick, he still had not seen the ghost python. Seeing the sky darkening, waiting until nightfall here would become very eerie, posing further trouble.

Thus, he stepped in a Seven Stars Step, leaped onto a large tree, storing up "Light Force" in his body.

[Seven Stars Step]

[Skill Level: 7599/10000 Perfection]

Li Xian leapt gracefully, his figure agile and lively. He stepped on a protruding rock, and leveraged it for another leap. His figure soared several meters higher, in this steep mountain wall filled with countless points to borrow strength.

Quickly he reached a height of over ten meters. At this moment, a strong wind blew, his clothing fluttered, creating a sense of carefree traveling through heaven and earth. Li Xian grabbed the spear shaft, his whole body’s inner qi trembled, causing the vines and dead branches to shatter and fall.

Li Xian stood crosswise on the rock wall, his feet against the rock. He exerted force with both arms, pulling at the silver spear, causing the rocky cliff to shift, with a cacophony of stone collision noises. The silver spear made a "dunk" sound, being pulled out half an inch.

Li Xian thought: "This spear is wedged very deep, my strength isn’t weak, but to pull it out completely truly requires some effort." He gathered his strength to pull the spear.

Suddenly, a "hissing" sound was heard. The ghost python suddenly appeared, descending swiftly, opening its mouth wide to bite fiercely. Li Xian’s brows furrowed: "When did this ghost python appear? I observed for long yet didn’t catch sight of it before. Otherwise, I would’ve first slain the giant python, then safely pulled the spear."

No time to think further. Li Xian hooked his foot on the silver spear, hanging upside down on the rock wall, dodging the ghost python’s bite. The python’s massive body missed the attack and rolled down the cliff.
