C264 Midnight Beast Roar
C264 Midnight Beast Roar
Chu Tian fumbled his way forward while paying attention to the changes in his surroundings. Yuan Liang, who was behind him, was also quite surprised, although his cultivation base had been sealed. Logically speaking, his physique should be higher than Chu Tian's.
However, Chu Tian was able to discover the existence of the Demon Beast every time he was a step faster than him. After that, he changed his direction to avoid the Demon Beast. Although this made their future prospects much slower, they didn't find any Demon Beast along the way. This was truly unbelievable luck, and this was all because of Chu Tian.
At this moment, a small depression appeared in front of the three of them, and it was filled with muddy swamps. If one only thought that this was just a terrain disadvantage, then one would be gravely mistaken, because there were ferocious Demon Beasts hidden in these marshlands. They hid in the swamp very well, preparing to hunt the passing Demon Beast.
Chu Tian frowned as he looked at the opposite bank. It was obviously impossible to pass through these swamps if he didn't want to be discovered.
"It's too risky to continue forward. With our current cultivation base sealed, it's impossible to succeed in this depression. The only thing we can do now is to take a detour and look at the scale of this depression. Taking a detour will definitely make the journey longer, and we don't know what dangers we will encounter along the way. " Chu Tian said.
Yuan Liang's gaze also landed on the swamp. Just like what Chu Tian had said, it was clearly impossible for them to forcefully pass through.
"Since that's the case, it seems like there's no other way. Let's take a detour." Yuan Liang said.
Chu Tian nodded. At this moment, he took out a few medicinal herbs from his hand. Yuan Liang and Zi Ling looked at the latter in puzzlement.
"This is called the Mixed Energy Grass. It can hide the Qi of humans from us. These Demon Beasts are very sensitive. If we have to pass by them when the time comes, the slightest change in smell will let them discover our existence. " Chu Tian said.
"I didn't expect you to know about herbs. Don't tell me you are proficient in alchemy." Yuan Liang said in surprise.
"Martial Uncle, I am an alchemist. I am capable of this." Chu Tian said with a smile.
Yuan Liang revealed a surprised expression once again. Initially, he saw that Chu Tian was quite proficient in the Dao of Formation, but he didn't expect that Chu Tian was actually good at the Dao of Medicine Pill.
"Junior Brother Chu Tian, you really brought a new surprise to my senior brother every time. Let's do it according to what you said." Yuan Liang said. After that, he took the Mixed Energy Grass from Chu Tian. After that, he swallowed the Mixed Energy Grass without any hesitation.
Zi Ling also ate the Mixed Energy Grass. Chu Tian also ate it after that.
"But the taste of this Mixed Energy Grass is really not very friendly." Yuan Liang stuck out his tongue and said.
"Martial Uncle, don't complain. If my cultivation base is still there, I can refine this herb for a while. But in this situation, don't be too picky." Chu Tian said.
"It's just a joke. Let's continue forward. Taking advantage of the time when the sky is still considered bright, we'd better choose a good foothold. The forest under the night sky is quite dangerous. The night is when the Demon Beast will run rampant. " Yuan Liang said.
Chu Tian nodded and agreed with the latter. After that, the three of them continued to shuttle through the forest. As for the depression in front of them, they had no choice but to take a detour.
Night soon fell in the forest. In such a deep forest, the dense trees would seriously affect one's sight. At this time, they could not even see their hands in the forest.
However, in the darkness, one could see green lights. Those were not lights but the eyes of the Demon Beast. Under the night sky, the Demon Beast was the most active.
As for Chu Tian and the others, they were hiding in the cracks between the roots of a big tree. It was quite hidden in this place, and they could also guard against the invasion of the insects.
But even so, Chu Tian and the others didn't dare to sleep in such a place. They still maintained their vigilance. If something really happened, they would be able to escape in time.
"Junior Brother Chu Tian, you seem to be quite familiar with these kinds of days. Uncle-Master is really curious about what kind of situation you have encountered in the past. To be honest, you are so young but you are proficient in all kinds of things. This is unbelievable." Yuan Liang asked.
At this moment, Zi Ling's eyes also fell on Chu Tian. She had been quite puzzled about this since a long time ago. When she first met Chu Tian, he was merely a Divine Ability Stage warrior. Logically speaking, she should know everything that he had experienced, but Chu Tian knew some things that he had violated the rules of the sect.
"Martial Uncle, this is a disciple's privacy. It's not appropriate to search for other people's privacy." Chu Tian said with a smile.
Yuan Liang had no choice but to give up on pursuing the matter. It seemed like Chu Tian would not be able to get any answers from him.
As time slowly passed, it was already late at night. Chu Tian and the other two kept their calm and closed their eyes to rest. The Demon Beast around them did not notice that there were still people in the forest.
However, in the middle of the night, a loud roar suddenly shook the entire forest. Hearing this cry, Chu Tian and the other two quickly opened their eyes. They could feel a great courage from the roar, although they still didn't know what kind of divine Demon Beast it was. However, it was definitely not an Ordinary People.
At this moment, the ground was also continuously letting out a series of rumbling sounds. The Demon Beast were actually quickly becoming active. Many Demon Beasts walked past Chu Tian and the others, who were standing beside the big tree. This caused Chu Tian to worry that they would be discovered if they went out.
Fortunately, these Demon Beasts seemed to be chasing after something. They did not notice that there were actually three humans hiding under this ordinary tree.
"That sound should be Beast King. Why did he summon all the Demon Beast to gather in the middle of the night?" Yuan Liang said with a frown.
"Beast King?" Chu Tian looked at Yuan Liang and asked.
"By the way, Junior Brother Chu Tian, you have just arrived in this Gale Canyon not long ago. I'm afraid you still don't know why this Gale Canyon was able to be preserved for such a long time. The reason why ordinary cultivators couldn't occupy this place was because there was a powerful Demon Beast in this Gale Canyon, and that was Beast King." Yuan Liang said.
Chu Tian suddenly understood. Although there were indeed a lot of Demon Beast in the Gale Canyon, a Thunder Tribulation Stage Demon Beast would only become a target for hunting in the end. Even if there were more of them, it wouldn't change the fact.
However, if there was a powerful Beast King living in this forest, the result would be totally different. Those who weren't strong enough wouldn't dare to rashly deal with such a powerful existence.
"It's late at night and there are so many Demon Beasts. I'm afraid something must have happened. That roar just now seemed to have a trace of anxiety." Zi Ling said.
Chu Tian and Yuan Liang nodded. They could tell the mood of the roar just now. They were afraid that it was because they felt Beast King's anxiety that these Demon Beasts were able to gather there so quickly.
"But this brings us a good opportunity. Now most of the Demon Beast in the forest have been moved to the depths of the forest. The forest was quite empty, although it was dark at night. This is obviously a good opportunity to leave this forest. " Chu Tian said.
Zi Ling and Yuan Liang both frowned and thought for a while. At this time, they could no longer hear the Demon Beast around the tree. Most of the Demon Beast had been moved to the depths.
"Although it's a little risky, it's just like what you said. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We can't give it up like this." Yuan Liang said.
Zi Ling nodded in agreement. Under the current circumstances, her strength was the weakest amongst the three of them. It was a rational decision to listen to the words of these two experienced people.
