CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

359 Somethings Coming

“Your Majesty, how about Your Majesty just wait here, I will bring some men to see the situation inside, the conditions may be more dangerous than we thought”

ChenMing lowered his head thinking, he looked at SuLang.

“I think so took, Your Majesty, the area ahead is XiaoWu’s sacred mountain, previously people rarely approached the area and now there was a landslide, many rumours say that XiaoWu is not alone, there are still many sacred creatures in there, it would be safer if Your Majesty sent some men to monitor the location, I don’t recommend Your Majesty to join the vortex”

“But we have to go there Brother,” BaiYing said, his eyes looking straight ahead, even a few times the light in his eyes was getting brighter, he felt something with very large strength was raging underground, something so great.

ChenMing licked his lips, it seemed that he couldn’t stop his little brother from entering, he was so stubborn that he couldn’t listen to anyone else.

ChenMing turned his head back to GeLu and SuLang.

“Guard GeLu, leave some of your men here to guard the horses, only bring the toughest, this field will be very dangerous, we can’t risk more casualties than before”

Hearing ChenMing’s words, GeLu and SuLang opened their eyes wide.

“Wh-what do you mean Your Majesty? Precisely because the terrain is very dangerous we need all the available strenght”

.....

SuLang nodded confirming GeLu’s words.

ChenMing turned his head to look at his younger brother who was sitting straight on his horse.

“Heh, with your strength, no matter how much it is, it is not a match as the opponent for any creature inside, the weak subordinates will only be a hindrance, we have far greater strength that can paralyze any creature”

GeLu and SuLang looked at each other, both frowned confused to hear the words of the young prince in front of them, what did he mean?

“Ehh”

.......

BaiYing and others left their horses and entered the center of the landslide on foot.

ChenMing held his brother’s hand helping him walk on the uneven and cracked road here and there, some of the ground was lifted high.

“Slow down bro”

GeLu ordered his men to stay together and be alert, the atmosphere was so calm without any sound that made them anxious.

“This must be the centre, look at the crack, it’s as if a very large creature came out of the ground,” ChenMing said.

SuLang pointed in the distance in front of them, they were near a cliff that couldn’t be seen how it looked because of the cracks in the road and the ground, several big trees that had fallen everywhere.

“Your Majesty, in front of that is the Eternal Abyss, this is the deepest part of the sacred XiaoWu forest, reportedly no one has ever dared to pass through this place, or even if there were, that person might not have come out safely to tell the story.”
BaiYing turned his head, frowned upon hearing SuLang’s story.

“Why so Young Master Su? Is this place really that scary?”

Su Lang nodded.

“That’s right Your Majesty, it is said that XiaoWu is a resident of the eternal abyss, and occasionally turns his body makes the road trembles, no one dares to walk on the edge of the abyss, if they fall, the chances of survival are very small, it is called the eternal abyss because no one knows how much deep the abyss is, even the rumours said, this abyss is groundless.”

BaiYing listened very seriously.

“Wow, this is very dangerous, come on Brother, let’s not go through that road”

ChenMing looked around, all roads were already difficult to pass for, what could they find there? The sun was getting dimmer, time passed so fast, they had walked for a half-day and it seemed like the rain will soon fall again.

“Looks like we don’t have much choice brother, we can’t help but have to go that way, Guard GeLu, do all of his men carry their own ropes isn’t it?” Chen Ming asked.

GeLu nodded, he also glanced at LiuHai who also nodded his head.

“Everything is ready Your Majesty”

ChenMing took BaiYing’s hand back.

“Come on, brother, we have to keep going, the sky is getting darker. At least we have to find a place to shelter from the rain.”

BaiYing obeyed as his brother helped him through the irregular path, up and down, jumping, there was a ground where the crack was so big that everyone had to jump through it.

ChenMing who was in the front with GeLu stopped their way when they arrived at a flatter area, all holding their breath, seeing what they had found in front of them now.

Bodies of forest animals and other strange creatures were lying on the ground in front of them.

“What’s this?”

BaiYing opened his eyes wide, he saw several beasts resembling a large tiger lying covered in blood, he rushed forward but ChenMing’s held his hand.



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Brother, what are you going to do?”

“Brother, they, they all” and the young man should know, he can’t do anything anymore now, all the creatures are dead. GeLu and SuLang alerted and drew their weapons, it was too quiet, at all, only the whistling sound of the wind blowing past their faces.

“Krekkk krekk”

ChenMing was still holding his brother’s hand tightly, his eyes wide open looking around.

“Get ready everyone, looks like something is coming” ChenMing whispered.

There was no sign of life but the ground beneath their feet seemed to keep moving as if something was approaching them.

BaiYing’s pair of eyes shone, this was no ordinary creature, especially one that could make his heartbeat quite fast.

“Dugg”

BaiYing opened his arms, braced with flames burning in his palms. SuLang who was standing behind BaiYing couldn’t believe what he saw, that white flame, the legend of PaiYun?

“Y-Your Majesty”

But there was no time to be surprised, the next quick thing happened, from the ground came terrifying creatures with huge mouths full of fangs that instantly attacked everyone.

“Arrgghhh!”

ChenMing drew his sword, slicing apart any creatures that charged towards him.

“What’s this?”

The soldiers fought back, cutting anything that hit their faces, even BaiYing didn’t have a chance to see anything.

“Arrgghhh!” A loud shrill sound was deafening, BaiYing threw his fire at the creature that was charging towards him.

“Your Highness be careful!” SuLang exclaimed as he drew his spear directly behind BaiYing where the scary-faced frog-like creature charged towards BaiYing’s back.

ChenMing attacked carelessly, the good thing was that the creature can be knocked down by a sharp sword slash.

“Guard SGeLu, order your men to retreat, there are too many of them!” Chen Ming exclaimed.

GeLu was focused on his defence.

“They can’t, Your Majesty, everyone will stay here to protect Your Majesty.”

BaiYing’s eyes shone, it wasn’t those disgusting creatures with black blood that made his eyes glow, and moreover, his chest was beating really fast. BaiYing opened his arms, forming a yellow circle that protected everyone, making the creatures’ attacks stop when they couldn’t break through the sphere.

“Th-this” even GeLu widened his eyes at the yellow sphere that seemed to protect him and his men who were docked. He has the honour to see by his own eyes the power of the protective sphere that become one of the WahYe’s great treasures. While the protective sphere was still burning brightly, BaiYing raised his other hand creating small white fireballs that attacked the creatures driving them away.

“Whussshh”

But the creatures didn’t retreat, although BaiYing’s fire attack didn’t intend to hurt them and just chased them away, and that didn’t seem to work, the creatures tried to break through the protective sphere.

The worried voices of the young soldiers were heard.

“They are so ferocious”

SuLang swallowed hard, not because he was afraid of any creature which was the first time he had seen in his entire life living around CuiAn, but, because of BaiYing’s extraordinary strength, what, that boy was still a young man he knew? His eyes were sharp and full of energy, not a little prince with a gentle face, and it was foolish for SuLang to still think about that at a time like this.

“Brother, what are you doing? Quickly burn those creatures, why are you being so soft?” Chen Ming exclaimed.

BaiYing restrained himself, he didn’t want to use his fire to kill, whatever they are he could not do it, they are not his opponent, this is called killing without mercy.

“No bother, they will definitely leave, there are so many of them, does Ying have to kill them all?” Ying asked, still throwing his small flames at the creatures. GeLu tightly gripped the hilt of his sword, as if only BaiYing was fighting alone while everyone was under his protection.

“Your Majesty let us fight them, their skin is not too hard, it can still be cut with swords and other sharp weapons” GeLu exclaimed.

ChenMing understood the chief guard’s intentions, although some of his men were injured they were formidable warriors from WahYe and SuChou, all of them were ready to fight no matter what.
