Chapter 141: Thousands of Desolate Beasts
“Warning! Warning! Danger approaching!”
“Warning! Warning! Danger approaching!”
“Warning! Warning! Danger approaching!”
The system notification suddenly sounded.
“Danger?” Qin Chuan’s countenance changed.
In the next moment, the originally silent space suddenly resounded with whistling sounds.
In the distance, numerous blood-red eyes appeared like dancing flames.
Qin Chuan suddenly had a bad premonition. As a result, he instantly expanded his divine consciousness.
While observing with divine consciousness, Qin Chuan saw many strange creatures with sinister features.
The creatures had the horns of a mountain sheep, the face of a lizard, and a body about five meters in length. They were not very big, but they seemed very dangerous to Qin Chuan.
“System, what kind of creature is this?”
“Desolate Beast!” the system replied.
“Desolate Beast? Are they very powerful?” Qin Chuan asked again.
The system did not answer him.
When he saw the tens of thousands of Desolate Beasts, Qin Chuan was conflicted.
Should I escape or wait and see?
While he was hesitating, the swarm of Desolate Beasts arrived around the multicolored spherical crystal like a dark cloud and pounced towards Qin Chuan.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan summoned his flying sword. Then, with a swing of his arm, the flying sword, like a stream of light, instantly sliced the Desolate Beasts near him into two.
“Looks like they’re quite weak. They should be around the Foundation Establishment level.”
As Qin Chuan thought this, the horde of Desolate Beasts in front of him charged over in the next second.
There were even more Desolate Beasts rushing over behind them.
There was almost an infinite number of them.
“F*ck!” After seeing such a lineup, Qin Chuan’s expression changed drastically.
Given his current cultivation level, challenging Desolate Beasts of this scale was not feasible. He could die.
Qin Chuan immediately retreated to the location he previously marked.
The Desolate Beasts pursued him relentlessly, their speed beyond imagination. Even though Qin Chuan was flying at full speed, he couldn’t widen the distance between them.
As Qin Chuan retreated, he silently chanted an incantation, using a spell technique to disrupt the beasts behind him.
After some time, he finally arrived at the marked point.
The Desolate Beasts were less than a kilometer away from him.
To them, that would be covered in a breath’s time.
Hence, Qin Chuan would not give them the chance to catch up
Not far from the mark was the border of this strange space.
Qin Chuan passed through the barrier without any obstruction.
He bet that the Desolate Beasts would not be able to pass through this barrier.
Obviously, he was right.
It was very simple logic. If these Desolate Beasts could pass through the barrier, then the outside world would be in chaos.
Qin Chuan wiped the sweat off his forehead. This time, he had truly had a close encounter with death. When he thought back to the Desolate Beasts, he still felt a lingering fear.
Ever since he started cultivating, this was the first time he had felt this way.
“System, why didn’t you tell me earlier that there are so many Desolate Beasts here?” Qin Chuan complained.
The system said, “You didn’t ask.”
“Would you have answered if I did?”
“No, that is not within my scope of service,” the system answered directly.
When Qin Chuan heard this, he almost exploded in anger.
If you wouldn’t have answered, why would I ask you?
Forget it!
It was not worth getting angry with the system.
He calmed himself down and analyzed this incomplete immortal civilization calmly.
Judging by the size of the space, the cultivation civilization was high level.
Then, he remembered the multicolored crystal.
There must be something good hidden inside.
The Desolate Beasts were likely attracted by the loud sounds from when he had used all their strength to bombard the multicolored spherical crystal.
Regardless, Qin Chuan had benefited greatly from this trip to Cheng’an.
At his current cultivation level, he still couldn’t figure out the truth of this incomplete cultivation civilization.
Especially that multicolored spherical crystal—it could only be broken by Nascent Soul cultivators.
Furthermore, a Nascent Soul cultivator would be able to kill a stretch of Desolate Beasts with just a wave of their hand. They wouldn’t be in such a sorry state like Qin Chuan.
He needed to raise his level before coming here again.
Thus, Qin Chuan executed the Earth Burrowing Technique and returned to the ground.
When he came out, he heard people discussing the two unexpected incidents from last night.
Qin Chuan instantly realized that those two matters were related to him.
This time, he had really created trouble.
Luckily, no one was injured. Qin Chuan felt slightly better.
…
On the other side.
Fu Xuemei and Sun Lingxiao could finally leave the research institute.
Fu Xuemei sent Sun Lingxiao back to school.
They both stood at the gate and said goodbye.
“Grandma, I’ll miss you.” Sun Lingxiao’s eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very reluctant.
Fu Xuemei smiled. “Grandma will come again after your military training ends.”
“It’s a promise. I will bring you to tour Cheng’an and enjoy the delicacies here then.”
“Sure!”
…
Fu Xuemei watched her granddaughter walk into the school gate.
It would be a long time before they could meet again.
Seeing that her granddaughter had gone far, Fu Xuemei naturally left too.
She found a secluded place and crushed the jade talisman. Qin Chuan soon arrived.
“Sect Master!” Fu Xuemei bowed.
Qin Chuan smiled and asked, “How was it this time?”
“I’m quite satisfied. If it weren’t for the fact that my granddaughter still has to attend military training, I would have stayed for a few more days,” Fu Xuemei said honestly.
Qin Chuan said, “From now on, feel free to tell me if you want to do that. If nothing unexpected crops up, I will definitely agree.”
“Mm, then I’ll thank you in advance, Sect Master!”
“If there’s nothing else, we’ll go back.”
“Sure!”
…
Back at Cloud Mountain Guesthouse.
They continued to cultivate.
From morning to night, everyone focused on cultivation, cultivation, and cultivation.
Qin Chuan would occasionally come out to guide them, but most of the time, he would stay in the Purple Bamboo Forest.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
In these two months, everyone in the sect had their cultivation realms leveled up again.
Wang Zhixing, who had a Heavenly Spirit Root, had advanced four levels in a row and reached the eighth class of Qi Refinement.
As for the others, they had advanced two levels. Some others had advanced by three levels.
Whenever they leveled up, Qin Chuan would receive points.
In any case, his priority now was to increase his cultivation level. With points, he could exchange them for items that could aid him in doing so.
Of course, he would also leave some points for emergencies and not spend them all.
Fu Xuemei requested Qin Chuan to allow her to visit her granddaughter again.
Qin Chuan naturally didn’t reject her request.
After Fu Xuemei came out, she called her granddaughter, but it wasn’t her granddaughter who picked up.
After asking around, she found out that his granddaughter had joined the military.
Fu Xuemei was stunned.
She did not expect her granddaughter to really get chosen.
Since her granddaughter had gone to the military unit, seeing her would be even more difficult.
Therefore, she could only return to the sect.
After Qin Chuan found out about this, he advised Fu Xuemei to take it easy, “Joining the military was a pretty good thing. She will bring glory to the country.”
