Through the practice system of the heavens that shroud the sky

Chapter 352: Taihang Mountain Strange Fruit

Taihang Mountains have had many myths and legends handed down since ancient times. Nuwa mending the sky, Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs, Houyi shooting the sun, Jingwei filling the sea and other well-known myths all originated in Taihang Mountains.

Throughout the ages, many explorers have traveled to Taihang Mountains to explore, looking for the legendary immortal caves, hoping to achieve immortality or become an immortal.

However, the Taihang Mountains today are very different. There are hundreds of mountains here, some of which are more than a thousand feet high, like divine swords reaching the sky, piercing the sky, and are impassable.

Some mountains are magnificent and majestic, and their overall size is like the ancient demon bull in mythology, lying there with a wild aura, and can be as high as ten thousand meters.

Some mountains are directly suspended in the air, with suspended waterfalls falling from the sky, like a silver ribbon floating from the sky to the earth. It looks like a dream, as if it is a holy place of immortals. If someone sees it, they will surely yearn for it.

The changes in this place have brought about earth-shaking changes in the surrounding areas. High-speed railways, trains and other roads have been broken, some towns close to the Taihang Mountains have collapsed directly into the ground, and cracks dozens of kilometers long have appeared on the ground.

There were also terrifying roars of beasts in the Taihang Mountains. Some people even saw a pair of eyes the size of cars shining out from the Taihang Mountains. The emerald green eyes made people feel as if they were in the underworld.

Many people were very frightened and started to move away from Taihang Mountains. It was no longer safe here for them.

The relevant departments immediately assembled a team and headed to the Taihang Mountains as quickly as possible to conduct exploration and survey, and also mobilized the army to provide firepower coverage when necessary.

According to the information we received, there are unknown giant creatures in the Taihang Mountains at this time, and we need to remain vigilant at all times. When necessary, we will provide fire coverage to resolve all hidden dangers.

In addition, there are other civil forces and organizations that are also joining forces to investigate, including scientists and awakened supernatural beings. Through the research of scientists, we have a preliminary understanding of the role of spiritual energy, and have been inspired by some mutant creatures and some special plant fruits, which can help people evolve autonomously. Although the probability is extremely low, there are still many organizations and forces that are crazy about trying.

Countries around the world are unable to stop this. The current situation has completely changed. Powerful forces in various places are constantly conducting research in private, and they have their own results, which they cannot stop at all.

This era will be an era where the strong prey on the weak and follow the laws of the strong. Many forces have been reshuffled in this revival of spiritual energy.

As a large number of people from different forces and organizations entered Taihang Mountain, the roars in the mountains began to become more frequent, as if they knew that outsiders had entered.

"Do you think there are any mythical beasts in the Taihang Mountains? After all, there are many legends about the Taihang Mountains, such as the story of Jingwei filling the sea. Could they really be among them?" asked a scientific explorer from a grassroots force.

For a scientific explorer like him, when he knows that creatures in myths and legends have appeared in the world, he will have a strong curiosity and a desire to research and pursue the creatures recorded in various historical books.

"Whether it is or not, I think you should pray that we don't encounter it. If it really exists, do you think we can stop it? Don't really think that the mythical beast won't hurt people. No one has ever seen one." A woman next to him spoke, speechless at the man's curiosity.

They came here just to investigate whether there are any strange plants in the Taihang Mountains that can help ordinary people evolve. They don't want to get involved in other things. After all, they don't have the money, equipment, and superpowers of those big forces.

"Okay, it's best not to talk. The situation here is very complicated. Someone has seen the terrifying giant shadow of a creature in the mountain before. It's better to keep quiet and don't get discovered by those scary guys." The leader was a middle-aged man with firm eyes and a calm expression, but his face was solemn at this moment.

The situation here is more complicated than he had imagined. Others may not feel it, but as a retired soldier, he can clearly feel that there is great danger here. He did not see any living creatures along the way, not even birds.

According to the law of the jungle, only the territory of the strong will scare the inferior animals away.

At this time, they were walking very quietly along the way, which forced him to concentrate 200% of his attention and observe his surroundings, for fear of attracting terrible creatures and causing tragic casualties.

"Brother Li, it's not that exaggerated. We are still in the periphery. There shouldn't be any scary monsters. Moreover, the radar sensor has not detected any life fluctuations nearby. You are making a fuss out of nothing." The man who spoke first thought that the man called Brother Li was making a fuss out of nothing.

"It's better to be cautious. My intuition tells me that it's not safe here. Let's speed up and go in. Once we find what we want, we will leave immediately." Brother Li still insisted on his opinion and hoped to complete the task as soon as possible.

The team of more than ten people behind him had no objection to this. After all, Brother Li was the team leader, and even if he had any objections, he would not really object. He was also considering their safety.

Just as they were moving towards the heart of the mountain, suddenly a strong wind blew over their heads, and a sharp cry made everyone's ears temporarily deaf.

And everyone also felt that the sunlight in front of them was blocked and fell into darkness.

Before they could react, there was a sudden scream from the people behind. A man carrying equipment was grabbed into the air by a pair of huge claws. Before he could continue screaming, the eagle-like claws tore the man into several pieces. The colorful internal organs fell from the sky with a bloody smell.

Except for a few bodyguards and team leaders who were able to remain calm, everyone else began to dry heave and scream in fear while retching.

Brother Li looked at the huge flying figure in the sky, and he was also extremely frightened. It was a bird of prey that looked like an eagle, with golden feathers all over its body, and its body looked as big as a train. "If you don't want to die, run!" He said only one sentence, and then he ran forward quickly, and several bodyguards behind him followed closely.

At this point they could no longer care about those scientists. Saving their lives was the most important thing. No one could be sure whether the terrible monster would return.

The remaining few people who were still retching also overcame their fear and ran towards Li Ge and others with their hands and feet. But another gust of wind blew overhead, and another person was caught by the raptor and torn into pieces in the air.

But they didn't care at all. They all ran forward crying and shouting. Whoever ran slower would die.

In this way, everyone ran all the way, not caring about the direction at all. Some people were caught by birds of prey again and used as toys to death, while others were frightened to death.

In the end, only Brother Li and two bodyguards were left. The others were all dead, torn into pieces by the raptor. It seemed that it was treating them as prey and playing with them.

When everyone ran to the bottom of a cliff, they suddenly felt despair.

There is no way to escape here, and it is impossible to return. The golden bird of prey in the sky has been playing tricks on them, just to force them here.

"Damn! What kind of monster is this? Do you think it's fun to tease us? Even if I die, I'd rather die together with you, a bird of prey." The bodyguard next to Brother Li had already given up. He picked up his pistol and fired at the bird of prey in the air, but it was obvious that he couldn't hit it at all.

The three of them all had a look of despair on their faces. They sat slumped on the ground, smiling bitterly, waiting for their final death.

"Cry!" With a scream, the golden bird of prey swooped down from the sky, its huge claws heading towards one of them, with a playful look in its eyes.

But just as it was about to grab it, a calm voice sounded in the ears of the three people.

"This tree has plenty of energy and has been growing for more than five thousand years. It is useful to me."

The three looked around but didn't see the person who spoke until another roar was heard in the air, which seemed to contain anger.

The three of them looked up and saw a man standing in mid-air on the cliff, looking at a golden fruit tree on the cliff. The tree looked very much like an orange tree, but was much smaller than the orange tree.

Before, everyone didn't pay much attention to it because of despair, but when they saw it now, they all knew that it was what they needed for this trip.

But now it seems that whether they can survive is a question. And the man standing in the air is obviously a powerful supernatural being. In front of life, any mission is bullshit!

"Brother! Save us. As long as you save us, we will reward you handsomely. We will give you whatever you need!" said the man named Brother Li, with a look of surprise and uneasiness on his face.

The other two also looked at him with hope, hoping that the psychic could rescue them.

But what made them despair was that the man ignored them and didn't even look at them. Instead, he grabbed the golden tree and pulled it out from the cliff.

The means were rough, and it seemed that he didn't care at all about the life or death of the strange little tree, he just wanted to pull it out.

The golden bird of prey in the sky saw this scene and let out an angry roar. The powerful sound waves made the three people below bleed from all seven orifices and they fainted on the ground instantly.

The bird of prey flapped its wings violently, and then its figure rushed towards the man on the cliff like a ray of golden light, with strong murderous intent in its eyes.

The little golden tree was obviously what it was guarding. It was naturally furious that someone had taken it away, and it wanted to tear it into pieces.

The sharp claws with golden light pierced through the man's body, but there was no bloody scene. The raptor crashed directly into the cliff and smashed a big hole in it.

"It's too tasteless, there's no point in keeping it!"

Li Qiye took a look at the raptor that had crashed into the cliff, and after realizing that it was of no value, he slapped the raptor with his palm. Then blood sprayed from the cliff like a waterfall, splattering everywhere, and golden feathers mixed with blood fell in the air.

It looked like a golden rain, with an indescribable sad beauty.
