Chapter 407 Westward Journey to Purple Dust
Chapter 407 Westward Journey to Purple Dust
The mountain road became steeper and steeper. Although Cheng Huang was the most agile, his speed slowed down a lot.
After walking for a while, the steep slope gradually turned into a sheer cliff, but there was still a path more than one foot wide on the cliff, extending all the way there.
Chu Xiaomu suddenly remembered what Ci Hao had said, that on the way to Wangmu Zichen Peak, "you will pass by a cliff, which is so steep that it is scary, and there is only a small path about one foot wide on it..." Isn't this the right path? He was very happy in his heart, it seems that he did not go wrong.
However, when I looked at the path carefully, I gasped several times. The path was only a foot wide, and there was a thousand-foot cliff above and a thousand-foot abyss below. The most frightening thing was that there were three or five broken spots in the middle of the path!
Obviously, you have to jump over the gap in the path. Although the gap is not very long, it is on a cliff and you will fall off the cliff and be crushed to death if you are not careful.
Although Cheng Huang is an almighty divine horse, he still has flesh and blood and no wings. If he falls down, he will surely die. Even if he wants to turn around again, it would be impossible.
Chu Xiaomu patted Cheng Huang's head and said, "Qisheng, it seems that this road is blocked. We have to think of other ways to get through."
Cheng Huang just barked a few times and refused to look back.
Chu Xiaomu asked: "Do you want to try it?"
Cheng Huang nodded.
Chu Xiaomu thought, judging from what Ci Hao said, this road was probably the only way to get to Zichen Peak, and there was no other way to go.
Since other beast spirits can get through, Cheng Huang is stronger than them, so he should be able to get through as well. If there is any danger, I will be able to react quickly and keep Qisheng safe.
Thinking of this, he made up his mind and said, "Okay, let's try it together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qisheng suddenly raised his front hooves and started running, which was much faster than running through the mountains and forests.
Chu Xiaomu felt as if he was flying in the clouds. He felt so happy and satisfied that he couldn't help but burst into laughter, which echoed throughout the valley.
Just as he was flying over a narrow gap, he heard someone shouting, "Where did you come from, kid? Stop right there!"
Before he finished his words, a blindingly bright white light came straight towards Chu Xiaomu's face, making a crackling sound.
Chu Xiaomu didn't have time to think about it, and quickly drew out the black iron sword to block the white light.
The white light struck the black iron sword, and with a loud snap, a dazzling burst of light flashed out. This white light turned out to be a bolt of lightning!
The right half of Chu Xiaomu's body felt painful and numb, and the black iron sword almost fell from his hand.
Huang Feizong's speed did not slow down at all because of this electric first gear. He pushed his hind legs against the cliff and flew over the head of a strange man with two horns in the middle of the mountain road! Then he landed steadily on the narrow mountain road.
Chu Xiaomu turned around and saw that the man had a pair of twisted horns on his head, a beastly face with a wide forehead, a long nose and a narrow mouth, and a half-foot long gray beard under his jaw. It was obviously a beast spirit.
The two-horned man saw that Chu Xiaomu not only blocked the lightning strike of his spiritual magic, but also jumped directly over his head. This was a great humiliation!
He glared at him and shouted, "Who are you, kid, and why did you break into my West Beast Mountain?!" His voice was hoarse and low, as if he was deliberately lowering his voice.
Chu Xiaomu bowed and said, "I'm really sorry, I have something very important to do, so I have to pass through here."
The two-horned man said, "What is the important matter? If you don't tell me clearly, I won't let you go!"
Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, I've already come here, what's the point of you telling me not to go now? So he said, "It's hard to explain this matter right now, but it's very important. I'll come back and tell you in detail in a few days."
The two-horned man said, "You told me after you came back? That's too late! Tell me now, or you'll be in trouble!"
Chu Xiaomu didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he bowed again and said, "It's definitely not possible to tell you now. If you don't want to wait, then I have to leave. See you later!" He turned around and rode away.
All he heard was the two-horned man behind him shouting, "Stop right there, boy!" Then a series of thumps and thumps sounds were heard quickly, and the man actually leaned sideways along the cliff and jumped in front of Chu Xiaomu and Cheng Huang, blocking their way again.
This guy walks on the cliff as if it were flat ground!
Chu Xiaomu thought that this beast spirit was quite capable and should not be taken lightly.
The two-horned man said again: "If you just go back from here quietly, I won't kill you!"
Chu Xiaomu became furious, thinking that most of the beast spirits in the Beast Mountain were reasonable and kind spirits, but this guy was probably a ferocious beast like that rhinoceros tiger, who would shout for fighting and killing at any time.
In that case, I won't be polite. He said, "You won't kill me? How the hell can you kill me?" In a moment of desperation, he cursed out the dirty words he had learned from Ci Hao.
The two-horned man was furious. He suddenly bent his back and lowered his head, pointing his pair of sharp horns at Chu Xiaomu. Then lightning flashed between his horns, and with a crackling sound, a beam of white lightning suddenly struck Chu Xiaomu.
Chu Xiaomu held his iron sword horizontally, blocking the white lightning shot by the two-horned man, and gathered a force in his left palm, pushing it towards the two-horned man. After all, this was the West Beast Mountain, and he was afraid of killing the beast spirit, so he only used 30% of the force in his left palm.
Even so, the palm style still generated a whistling wind, which was incredibly powerful.
The two-horned man saw it from the side and knew it was difficult to resist, so he jumped up and down the cliff, and finally landed on the cliff about 50 to 60 feet away from Chu Xiaomu's head, standing firmly. No one knew how he did it.
The beast spirit didn't say anything and used its spiritual power to send white lightning bolts towards Chu Xiaomu.
Chu Xiaomu swung his sword to block, but these beams of white lightning had no real shape. He could block one or two, but not three, four, five, or six.
He was hit twice on his left shoulder and back, his clothes were charred black, and the pain was unbearable. Especially the one on his back, which was very close to the rotten wound, and the pain almost penetrated into his internal organs.
What made Chu Xiaomu even more worried was that he had to use a lot of Force to resist the lightning power of the beast spirit, and every time he used the Force, the pain in the corrosive wound on his back became more obvious, and it seemed that it would relapse at any time.
The two-horned beast spirit struck out white lightning and shouted, "Where did you come from, kid? You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. I'll teach you how powerful I, the Thunder Antelope from the West Beast Mountain, am!"
Chu Xiaomu swung his iron sword, blocking the enemy with his left and right hands, but in his mind he was thinking about how to deal with the enemy. Unfortunately, the beast spirit that called itself the Thunder Antelope stood very high, and even with the Force, he could not reach that far, so for a while he was in a situation where he could only take the beating without fighting back.
I thought to myself that I should just ignore this animal spirit called Lei Ling. I would leave first and come back to vent my anger after I have found the Queen Mother to repair my spirit.
