330: Arrival at Blackforge

They were blocked!

These Fossil Pterosaurs clearly saw and felt Shen Bei enter their cave.

But in the blink of an eye, his Aura disappeared. In the labyrinthine cave, the Fossil Pterosaurs couldn't find any trace of him.

However, they seemed to know that Shen Bei would eventually come out.

So, they gathered at the cave entrance to block it.

Therefore, when Shen Bei appeared at the cave entrance, he saw a scene that made his scalp tingle.

The Fossil Pterosaurs were waiting for him!

At this moment, inside the cave, Fang Hanxi, who was waiting for Shen Bei's return, shivered: "Oh no! Shen Bei is trapped! Should we—"

"Check it out."

Zhuang Bifan interjected.

Fang Hanxi looked at Zhuang Bifan strangely. If he couldn't respond properly, he shouldn't have responded at all!

Was she selling Jianbing Guozi here?

Fang Hanxi squeezed out her voice and said: "What I meant was, should we go and support Shen Bei?"

Zhuang Bifan pulled out a wooden comb, tidied his hair, and replied nonchalantly: "I'm just here to watch."

Fang Hanxi: ...

Fang Hanxi couldn't understand. At a time like this, he was still bothered by such trivial matters?

"Don't worry, Quick Strike Whirlwind is not a false reputation."

Zhuang Bifan comforted her.

Fang Hanxi merely glanced at him before shifting her gaze, continuing to look towards the cave entrance.

At this very moment.

Shen Bei decided that he couldn't squeeze through.

And the Fossil Pterosaurs weren't stupid; if they saw a "rock" moving, they would naturally swat it with a claw.

"I just want to take something you don't want, that's all. Why make it difficult?"

Shen Bei showed no panic or fear; he merely twisted his neck.

The only exit was blocked, but it was only the exit that was blocked, not Shen Bei!

At this moment, Shen Bei deactivated his Hidden Breath Technique, and his life magnetic field began to surge.

The Fossil Pterosaurs, who were dancing wildly at the nest entrance, immediately let out a completely different, earth's surface-shattering roar in unison.

Then, the crimson bloodlust in each of their narrow, cruel eyes almost dripped with blood. They showed no intention of retreating. The moment Shen Bei's life magnetic field erupted, they were instead ignited with their killing instincts, suddenly and madly rushing into the nest!

The leading Fossil Pterosaurs, exceptionally strong and with an unusually tyrannical Aura, had already blocked the nest entrance, almost cutting off most of the light, casting a shadow of death.

It seemed to be a leader, its bird-beak-like maw opened exaggeratedly, revealing crisscrossing, gleaming fangs. Its cruel eyes locked directly onto the disproportionately sized Shen Bei, letting out an extremely excited roar!

Meanwhile, Shen Bei's intense life Aura, like erupting magma, spread outwards. He advanced step by step, his tendons, bones, and muscles constantly growing taller and more prominent with crackling sounds, and blood vessels surfaced like swimming Dragons.

Boom!

The next moment, the earth's surface shook!

The enormous nest seemed to have experienced an earthquake, with large amounts of rubble falling.

Even Zhuang Bifan and Fang Hanxi, who were far from the cave, felt a deafening roar amidst their shock. At the same time, they saw that inside the cave, the hard ground completely cracked, suddenly sinking, and countless gravel flew through the air!

Completely unaware of what was happening, in a situation like an earthquake, they saw Shen Bei's tyrannosaur-like figure suddenly stir up a suffocating storm of wind and waves. Amidst the unbearable roar of the wind, like a violently speeding train, he appeared directly in front of the leader Pterosaur!

Boom boom boom!

Shen Bei clenched his five fingers, his muscles vibrating like a clap of thunder. Three dull roars erupted at the same moment, landing on the chest and abdomen of the Fossil Pterosaurs leader before anyone could react!

Bang!

"Screech!"

After taking that punch, it was as if it had been directly hit by a heavy cannon. The Fossil Pterosaurs leader let out a tragic cry, and its massive body floated up like a feather!

Its huge body, known for its defense, cracked inch by inch as it flew through the air. At the same time, dark green blood mist sprayed wildly, mixed with the sound of blood being squeezed and ejected, as well as bones dislocating, breaking, and a series of snapping sounds like bowstrings breaking!

When Shen Bei unleashed his true strength, this full-power punch, with its terrifying shock and pressure, vibrated all the blood within the Fossil Pterosaurs leader's body out, causing all its internal organs and steel-like tensed muscle fibers to rupture. One punch directly killed it!

Bang bang bang!

The Pterosaur leader's corpse flew backward, and under immense inertia, it crashed into seven or eight ordinary Pterosaurs behind it, sending them flying, and then rolled directly down the steep slope outside the nest.

Seeing the astonishing sight of the Fossil Pterosaurs, which he himself found difficult to deal with, being shattered and bleeding everywhere by a single punch from Shen Bei, Zhuang Bifan's mind went blank.

Although they were called Fossil Pterosaurs, it was no exaggeration to describe these creatures as having steel bones and iron sinews. Not to mention this one, which seemed to be a leader-level existence. For Shen Bei to shatter its entire body with a single punch, relying solely on his flesh and blood physique—what terrifying power was that?

"Wait, I'll take care of these trash right away, and then we'll continue our journey, okay?"

Having killed the Pterosaur leader with one punch, Shen Bei's blood vessels pulsed on his forehead, making him look like a Tyrannosaurus. As he advanced step by step, he stared at the rest of the Pterosaur Clan outside, who were roaring uneasily, and sneered:

"This little skirmish isn't even worth calling a commotion."

In Zhuang Bifan's line of sight outside the cave, a large number of Fossil Pterosaurs were roaring and pouncing into the nest like a chaotic dance of demons, stirring up a lot of dust and making everything hazy.

Upon hearing Shen Bei's shout, he rolled his eyes.

He's really showing off.

Zhuang Bifan genuinely looked down on Martial Artists like Shen Bei.

If he could fight, he could fight. Couldn't he be a bit more low-key?

Did he have to make them cheer for him, cheer him on, and only then would he be satisfied?

Go ahead and show off.

Go ahead and flaunt.

Let's see if I mention your name in my report later.

Throughout the journey, it was always me, Zhuang Bifan, doing the killing, and you, Shen Bei, were just watching.

With the mental victory method, Zhuang Bifan was far ahead.

After a short while.

The Fossil Pterosaurs at the cave entrance seemed to be getting fewer and fewer. Then, seven or eight Fossil Pterosaurs suddenly rushed out of the hazy dust as if in panicked escape, flying off to who knew where.

Fang Hanxi's gaze remained fixed on the cave entrance.

The cave entrance was now a mess. Both the ground and the rock walls looked as if they had been bombarded by shells, full of craters and scattered rubble.

Besides that, chunks of Fossil Pterosaur corpses were scattered at the entrance, with shattered limbs and internal organs, twisted claws and teeth, oozing dark green blood, and a pungent, bloody smell. All of this made the cave appear as bloody and terrifying as a slaughterhouse.

Especially amidst the scattered body parts, a fierce figure stood like an iron tower, faintly shimmering with a silvery-white color, adding to the horror.

"Hoo..."

Due to the intense physical exertion, Shen Bei exhaled strong streams of Qi from his mouth and nose, and his muscles slowly contracted.

This kind of strength...

Watching Shen Bei's exaggerated physique and muscles gradually return to their familiar appearance, Fang Hanxi in the corner felt her heart pound, her eyelids and eyebrows twitching wildly. She felt her throat dry, unable to speak.

From the moment Shen Bei started fighting until the battle ended, it was only a few minutes. First, the exceptionally strong Pterosaur leader was killed with one punch. Then, the Fossil Pterosaurs, who rushed in one after another, were all intercepted by Shen Bei alone, fighting a group of Fossil Pterosaurs in this grotto by himself.

And the steel bones and iron sinews that they found incredibly difficult to deal with became powerless and ridiculous in front of Shen Bei, this more ferocious monster. The astonishing defense that Zhuang Bifan could only leave shallow marks on with his full-power slashes seemed as fragile as earth's surface and stone in the face of Shen Bei's pure, brutal violence. The difficult, bitter battle they had anticipated never happened; it was purely a one-sided slaughter.

They truly witnessed what power meant, what it meant for one man to hold a pass against ten thousand!

Fang Hanxi even suspected that with this display of strength, let alone a Fifth-rank Martial Artist, even a Sixth-rank Martial Artist couldn't achieve it!

Fang Hanxi's expression changed. However, despite her strong curiosity and awe at Shen Bei's astonishing transformation and strength just now, Fang Hanxi wisely did not ask too many questions.

It was clear that the Martial Skill Shen Bei Cultivated was absolutely special, and his four-dimensional true attributes were explosive.

But secrets among Martial Artists should not be casually inquired about.

For example, what Cultivation Technique you Cultivated, or what your power attributes are.

These are all unaskable questions.

One question would earn you a slap.

At this moment, Shen Bei waved his hand: "Let's go."

Zhuang Bifan, carrying his mirror, yawned: "Not resting for a bit?"

Shen Bei patted his waist: "Full of energy, can still go on."

Fang Hanxi's face turned red, and she secretly spat.

Always going off-topic, what kind of person is this...

The rest of the journey was relatively peaceful.

They didn't encounter any Vicious Beasts, nor did they meet any Stranger.

Because of how deep they had gone, they hadn't seen any human Martial Artists either.

After an hour of traversing mountains and ridges.

The three appeared on a mountaintop.

Lying hidden in the dense grass.

Shen Bei pushed aside the grass and peered down the mountain.

Below the mountain was a vast basin.

In the distance, a city lay sprawled on the earth's surface.

The city's structure still retained a style quite similar to ancient Chinese architecture, but with noticeable differences.

Zhuang Bifan once again cupped his hands, and two lenses condensed in his palms.

The view was continuously magnified. He could see a majestic stone archway spanning the city entrance.

The city gate tower had upturned eaves, ancient and solemn, with incomprehensible lines carved upon it.

A wide stone slab road stretched straight, flanked by rows of neatly arranged stone houses.

These stone houses were built in a courtyard layout, forming independent courtyards.

The Stranger in the city wore distinctive attire, with Ore crowns on their heads and robes woven from crystal stones, moving in and out.

Stone stalls lined the roadside, selling a wide variety of goods.

Mineral treasures, Spiritual Plant elixirs, strange creature specimens.

Zhuang Bifan even saw lighters from the earth's surface.

The most striking feature of this city was undoubtedly the City Lord's Mansion.

Its main structure had flying eaves and dougong brackets, exuding a magnificent Aura. However, the walls of the City Lord's Mansion were not made of brick or wood, but were directly polished from a giant crystal Ore vein, completely clear and transparent. The halls and corridors inside were faintly visible, like a huge amber embedded in the earth's surface's core.

"A large city."

Zhuang Bifan mumbled.

Then, he turned his gaze outside the city.

Among the rice paddies, many villages were scattered, surrounding Black Furnace City.

At this moment, Shen Bei said: "It doesn't matter if it's a big city or a small city, we're not going in. The rest is up to you. Let's lure the snake out of its hole!"
