When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 679 - 502: The Behemoth

Youmeng rarely transformed into a human. Initially, in the Withering Forest when Xiang Beifei and his people approached, they did not let them take on a human form. It was only when the night fell that they began to change. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

But now, basking in this warm sunlight, with light so abundant, it didn't look like night.

Could it be that these Youmeng kept to their own biological clocks?

It's known that in many places of the outer domain wilderness, the distinction between day and night is clear. If the Youmeng's transformations between human and tree followed their own routines, that wouldn't be strange at all.

Thinking this, Xiang Beifei took the young Youmeng and left the cliff, continuing on their journey.

The little Youmong still seemed distrustful of Xiang Beifei. So, Xiang Beifei entrusted it to Xiaohei and Erha.

Erha was carefree and did not reject the young Youmong, occasionally nudging it with his tail and pulling faces. Actually, Erha was simple-minded and amiable to everyone; as long as no offense was given, it was easy to get along with.

Xiaohei, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic, communicating with the young Youmong with its bark-language. It was unclear if the little Youmong understood, as it normally wouldn't be able to see Xiaohei. But when it came to visibility, it was all about whether Xiaohei wished to be seen or not.

In Xiaohei's presence, the little Youmong didn't seem as afraid. Perhaps it was because Xiaohei didn't look like the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, at least not having a human's visage, and even curiously emitted a few sounds. An "Woof woof" from Xiaohei would prompt a reply of "You you" from the little Youmong. Although incomprehensible, it was a good start.

When with Xiaohei and Erha, the young Youmong's guard was much lower. It would also sneak glances at Xiang Beifei when he wasn't paying attention, its small eyes filled with confusion.

In its mind, Xiang Beifei closely resembled those who had violated its species. It wondered why he would rescue it, moreover using soil rich with Spiritual Power.

It had a deep animosity towards Xiang Beifei and his race!

But the soil was really comfortable!

However, as soon as Xiang Beifei turned to look at it, it immediately rustled its leaves, shut its eyes, and stood still, pretending to be a tree.

"Another dummy."

Xiang Beifei considered naming it "Er-san," or "Third Fool."

He continued on his way. By his own time, it had only been twenty-four hours, but he had experienced countless days and nights in the outer domain wilderness. Often, three minutes of walking would bring daylight, five minutes would lead to night.

Soon, he found that his guess was probably wrong. The little Youmong still occasionally opened its eyes to respond to Xiaohei. It seemed to have no intention of being a tree by day and human by night.

How strange.

----

The outer domain wilderness was truly immense. Xiang Beifei could not yet confirm if he was still in Yuyu. There were no pioneering points carved out by trailblazers here, no sense of safety.

Xiang Beifei had now come to a plain. The plain was barren, with vegetation growing low, mostly shrubs here and there, with all the rest being various mud and stones.

These clods and stones were odd, as if they had only recently been overturned by something. Many patches of soil were still moist, as if a great turmoil had just taken place, or as though someone had been digging the ground, turning it over.

"Awoo."

Erha sniffed around on the ground, eyeing the strange plants curiously.

The only plant here was Tiger Thorn, but Tiger Thorn is not a domineering kind of vegetation. It doesn't suppress other plants but tends to coexist with many.

"The plants don't grow much here; it seems only Tiger Thorn can survive. There must be something wrong over there," Xiang Beifei said.

He approached a Tiger Thorn and pulled it from the ground. Its roots ran deep, about ten meters into the soil. He tossed the Tiger Thorn aside, and its roots quickly burrowed back into the earth, standing upright once more.

Tiger Thorn was a type of vegetation with incredible vitality. As long as one of its rhizomes remained, it could grow back.

"Was there a battle here recently?"

Xiang Beifei examined the soil on the ground and looked for traces of other desolate beasts but found nothing. The compass of the Divining Stream still pointed ahead, indicating that to reach Chen Hou, he needed to cross this plain.

Without much hesitation, he flew onwards. Looking out, the vast plain stretched endlessly. After about ten minutes of flying, there was a sudden "boom" from the ground, a thunderous explosion.

Xiang Beifei stopped immediately, watching the ground warily. But the mud started churning, like ocean waves, the only difference being waves of soil.

Splash!

It was as if something had shaken the earth, creating layers of waves, lifting countless rocks, with the soil appearing newly turned.

"What's this?"

Xiang Beifei watched the rolling soil with surprise. The waves moved rapidly away and soon only the disarrayed ground remained.

This wave's nature was unknown, but it was immensely destructive and accompanied by a terrifying howling noise, a continuous rumble.

"Woof?" asked Xiaohei.

"Not sure, but at least now we know why there are no other plants here," said Xiang Beifei.
