193: Chapter 193 The Bone Mountains, Stealth in the Dark

"Bone Mountains!"

Going further ahead leads to the Bone Mountains of the Beast Region. This is considered entering the territory of the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python clan; we must proceed in secret.

Do not get into too many conflicts; try to be as careful as possible.

Feng Qianyou's expression was grave; she was truly unwilling to provoke these fellows...

Seven days later, they finally reached the vast mountain range and officially arrived at the Beast Region, a territory where magical beast clans gathered.

The area of the Beast Region was expansive, no smaller than the Central Plains. Before them lay endless continuous mountain ranges, and one could even sense the violent aura of beasts.

Throughout the infinite ages, countless treasures had been left within these continuous mountains, waiting for those destined to find them.

The Bone Mountains of the Beast Region featured terrifying, snow-white bones. It was an ocean of corpses where mountains of discarded beast bones were piled up...

Some high-level beast bones contained nutrients that could enhance the strength of magical beasts, making this a gathering place for many of them.

Hun Tiandi's group entered the Bone Mountains and traveled continuously in secret.

They could even vaguely see many experts running rampant within the mountains; some were magical beasts in human form, while others were human experts heading toward the Beast Region...

"A bit troublesome..." Hun Tiandi frowned slightly. He hadn't expected there to be so many experts within the Beast Region.

While a solitary expert wasn't much of a threat, they had also seen organized factions traveling in groups along the way.

Watching the mountains rapidly recede below, Hun Tiandi remained silent.

The most important thing right now was to find the ruins of the Heavenly Silkworm Dragon Emperor. Once they became entangled with powerful magical beasts, it would cause major trouble.

Under the influence of Feng Qianyou's Demon Phoenix Bloodline, some magical beasts with lower bloodlines stayed far away.

Consequently, they didn't encounter any danger as they traveled non-stop through the endless mountain range.

Suddenly, a speck of white light appeared in the distance. This light grew larger, forming a sharp contrast with the lush mountains.

The Bone Mountains—they had finally arrived.

More and more figures were flying in the sky. Occasionally, a figure would sweep past carrying a gale, heading toward the white mountains.

"What do we do next?" Beside him, Lei Xuanji gazed at the Bone Mountains, her expression very solemn.

Even from a great distance, she could still sense many powerful auras.

Hun Tiandi remained silent upon hearing this. The current Bone Mountains were a mixed bag of all sorts of people and snakes, with various factions intermingling and clashing.

If they weren't careful and just barged in, they would surely end up dead without a burial place.

The group chose a secluded mountain spot. Hun Tiandi flipped his hand and took out a golden scroll; it was the map guidance for finding the Heavenly Silkworm Dragon Emperor's inheritance.

Buzz!

Opening the scroll emitted a golden light, and an illusory map appeared in the space before them. A blood-red line pointed toward the deepest part of the Beast Region.

"So, the inheritance is in the deepest part of the Beast Region..."

Hun Tiandi spoke softly while looking at the map. His soul power surged out to imprint the map's information before he put the scroll away.

"The end of the blood-red line is our goal. Everyone must be careful from here on..."

Hun Tiandi said solemnly, and everyone nodded.

The group donned black robes to conceal their movements. Looking at the distant mountains, Hun Tiandi took a deep breath and took the lead in rushing toward the distance.

Lei Xuanji and the others followed closely behind.

Awoo...

Not long after, they encountered a Rank 7 magical beast, a Red Fox. Under the joint efforts of Feng Qianyou and Lei Xuanji, it was quickly slain. They collected the Red Fox's body and left rapidly.

The loud sounds of battle or the spread of beast blood would attract other powerful magical beasts and human experts.

Yan Xing and Liu Ling brought the Ye Siblings along, protecting them at their side.

Hun Tiandi smiled slightly and said nothing. The group left quickly, weaving through the vast mountains and trying their best to avoid human experts and magical beasts.

If they couldn't be avoided, they were all suppressed and killed.

As they traveled continuously, they gradually moved away from the noisy crowds. He sighed slightly in his heart.

This kind of secret infiltration saved Hun Tiandi's group a lot of trouble. However, everyone who entered the Beast Region...

...was a shrewd individual. Seeing Hun Tiandi and the others sneaking around in black robes...

...their minds immediately became active.

Someone actually followed behind them, trailing from a distance, as if thinking this group's secretive style was suspicious.

The figure transformed into a giant snake, emitting a bloodthirsty aura as it slithered through the mountains.

Since the Beast Region was mostly populated by magical beasts, no one would care even if they saw a snake-shaped beast.

The closer they got to the depths of the Bone Mountains, the stronger the magical beasts they encountered, but such powerful beasts all had their own territories.

Everyone restrained their auras and rushed forward bit by bit.

"Ahead is the true entrance to the territory of the Nine Serenities Deep Earth Python Clan. As one of the three great magical beast clans, they have vast numbers and many powerful individuals..."

Feng Qianyou spoke calmly.

"Let's just slaughter our way through..." Lei Xuanji had a heavy killing intent. Hun Tiandi rolled his eyes upon hearing this; how could she be so unreliable?

As the local power, the Nine Serenities Deep Earth Python Clan was very troublesome. If they were entangled and drew out even more experts, that would be the real trouble.

In the Beast Region, even Dou Zun level experts could not run rampant at will.

Otherwise, death was the only path.

Hun Tiandi's risk in entering the Beast Region this time was to find the inheritance ruins, not to fight and kill.

The deeper they went, the more the continuous mountain peaks caused the space to become slightly distorted.

Half a month later, Hun Tiandi arrived at the very core of the Beast Region.

The Beast Sea!

A place that even magical beasts were unwilling to set foot in. For endless ages, every magical beast that stepped inside had, without exception, perished.

Therefore, this Beast Sea had become a forbidden zone of the Beast Region.

"Phew, it's here..." Hun Tiandi exhaled softly, a flash of excitement in his dark eyes.

"Could you have made a mistake? There's nothing here but a vast ocean..."

Feng Qianyou said in confusion, scanning the surroundings.

Above the Beast Sea, in the distorted space, was the sealed land of the ancient ruins, burying countless treasures.

"No, the place the scroll points to is the Beast Sea..."

With Hun Tiandi's firm tone, everyone's eyes lit up. This was an ancient ruin; any random treasure could greatly increase their strength.

Under the temptation of the ruins, whether it was Lei Xuanji or Yan Xing and the others, they all became much more eager.

According to the map, that seal was right before them—the ruins hidden for countless years were finally coming to light.

"Rest for one night; we will open the seal tomorrow!"

Hun Tiandi spoke calmly. Continuous travel had left everyone exhausted. Even though he held the key to opening the ruins...

...he had to be careful. Ancient ruins were fraught with danger; they had to replenish their energy so they could respond with full strength if they encountered peril.

Moonlight like water spilled from the horizon, draping a silver veil over this terrifying Beast Region.

Hun Tiandi sat cross-legged, gazing at the ink-black Beast Sea before him. Who knew what he was thinking?

Lei Xuanji, Feng Qianyou, and the others were meditating to regulate their breathing.

Yan Xing, Liu Ling, and the Ye Siblings watched the surroundings vigilantly. Since entering this Beast Region, they had seen many powerful magical beasts.

Even with their Dou Zong level strength, they felt a hint of unease.

In the distance, a giant snake coiled, flicking its tongue. Looking toward the distance, it snorted coldly in its heart: "Why are these people at the Beast Sea? Should I report to the Elder..."

This was a member of the Nine Serenities Deep Earth Python Clan who had been following Hun Tiandi's group all the way here.
