Chapter 22 - The Desolate Millet Mountain Range

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After coming out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, they were not far from the Tiger Roar Island.

Li Ran and his group spent less than a day approaching the border of the Tiger Roar Island. They believed that they would be able to enter the inner part of the island before nightfall.

While Li Ran was hurrying on his way, he sized up the unfamiliar territory of the Tiger Roar Island.

The Tiger Roar Island was not an island located by the sea. Just like Sifang Town, it was surrounded by mountains in all directions.

Nonetheless, the Tiger Roar Island seemed to be out of place here. Besides the island-like structure, there was a dead river that originated from the Desolate Millet Mountain Range. It crisscrossed across the island and seemed to surround this area.

The Tiger Roar Island was named after it.

.

Li Ran and his group smoothly entered the center of the Tiger Roar Island from the edge of the island. They passed through without any obstruction because the island was unlike the city structure of Sifang Town. There was no human flow here, and people were rarely seen.

“This place is so desolate. There’s not even a basic city here.”

Li Ran looked around. There were dilapidated houses, but there was no sign of people. It had been a long time since anyone lived here.

“When I came here with the chief and the others a few years ago, it wasn’t so desolate. It wasn’t as prosperous as Sifang Town but at least it was still popular.”

An elder sighed. “Have the hundreds of families moved away?”

The group of people lamented as they walked along the depths of the Tiger Roar Island. That was the area of the Desolate Millet Mountain Range!

Even so, when they walked along the depths of the island, the scene that appeared made Li Ran and the others shudder, and their footsteps gradually slowed down.

Those dilapidated houses were still there. They finally knew why the families had disappeared. They had not moved away, but had been massacred!

In the depths of the Tiger Roar Island, there was an empty space. It seemed to have been deliberately divided by someone. There was a pile of white bones that looked like a small mountain!

“Who was so cruel!”

One of the disciples looked angry. Some of the white bones were obviously children. The bones were not as thick as those of adults. They could be seen at a glance.

“Whether it was done by humans or not, we can’t be sure yet.”

Chief Li Xun sighed. The Tiger Roar Island had been massacred just like that. They were used to life-or-death situations but facing this pile of bones, they were deeply moved.

“The Desolate Millet Mountain Range isn’t far from the city but since ancient times, monsters have lived in the mountain range and never invaded human settlements. How could it be…”

One of the elders was very confused. He had never heard of monsters coming out of mountain ranges and killing humans.

“Humans frequently enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range to hunt monsters. The mountain range might not be very safe. Would those monsters with high intelligence be willing to sit and wait for death?”

Li Xun withdrew his gaze from the white bones and looked at the mountain range in the distance. One could not hear his emotions from his tone.

“The Desolate Millet Mountain Range might not be that safe anymore.”

The group of people had different expressions on their faces. They dodged the white bones beneath their feet. Their hearts were extremely heavy.

If the Humans wanted to become stronger, they would inevitably have to hunt monsters everywhere. Killing was everywhere.

Just like them, who knew how many people would enter the Desolate Millet Mountain Range to hunt monsters every year?

One batch would leave, but another batch would come. There was an endless stream of people.

As for the hundreds of people on the Tiger Roar Island, they had suffered a catastrophe for no reason. The karma that was planted by their predecessors was borne by them in the end.

Li Ran was silent. He followed behind the crowd quietly.

They walked in the depths of the Tiger Roar Island. White bones could be seen everywhere. Finally, when they approached the entrance of the Desolate Millet Mountain Range, they could no longer see white bones.

“Listen up, everyone. The Desolate Millet Mountain Range isn’t as safe as we thought. There might be more than one monster with terrifying strength in there. They hate the Humans. Once we encounter them, we must think of a way to hide in the dead river!

“The dead river is safe. Those monsters won’t dare to invade.”

Chief Li Xun’s expression was solemn. When they entered the Desolate Millet Mountain Range, he explained once again.

There were only seven of them. If they encountered a fearsome existence, they would not be a match for it.

Escaping would be the only way to deal with it.

Li Ran stared at the pitch-black entrance. There was not a single ray of sunlight. It was like a black hole, and all living creatures would be devoured.

He held the stone tightly in his palm, preparing himself for any unexpected situations. This time, it was no small matter. If he was not careful, he might very well die here.

Li Ran and his group silently entered the Desolate Millet Mountain Range. No one spoke. Everything was eerily quiet.

The moment they entered the Desolate Millet Mountain Range, the sunlight was swallowed up. It was as if night had arrived in a second.

Li Ran’s vision went black. He could only use his ears to distinguish the footsteps in front of him and feel the aura around him.

As they entered the Desolate Millet Mountain Range, they vaguely heard noises. Their hearts thumped, and their movements slowed down considerably.

No one saw that Li Ran’s expression flickered.

Just a moment ago, the stone that he had been holding in his hand almost flew out!

The stone’s sudden excitement made Li Ran recall the last time when he fused his Soul Ring, it was also this impatient?

‘Has this stone really become a spirit?’

There was only one reason that could make the stone so excited.

A magical monster!

‘F*ck, there’s a high-level monster nearby. Our lives might be at stake here, yet it still has the mood to be excited?’

Li Ran became even more nervous. His palms were sweating, and he was ready to throw the stone out at any time.

Buzz, buzz, buzz. The sound that they heard just now became clear. Someone was talking!

‘It’s a human, not a monster?’

‘Aren’t all the people of the Tiger Roar Island dead?’

‘Who’s the person who appeared in the Desolate Millet Mountain Range now?’

The group of people did not feel glad that the other party was a person. Instead, they felt even more uneasy.

Just as their minds were running wild, a light suddenly appeared, causing everyone to subconsciously close their eyes.

Everything around them instantly became bright.

The voice just now disappeared.

Two groups of people not far away temporarily stopped arguing and looked over when Li Ran’s group suddenly appeared.

‘Why are they here?’

Li Ran and the others were sizing up the other party while the other party also sized them up.

It was actually the Wang Xiang family!

‘What a narrow road it must be for enemies to meet!’

Li Ran facepalmed and was a little speechless. A youth across from him had his gaze fixed on him, and his gaze was unfriendly.

Besides the Wang Xiang family, there was also another group of people present, about eleven or twelve middle-aged men. Li Ran sized them up a few times, and their faces were very unfamiliar. They did not seem like they were from the three great families of Sifang Town or the two mysterious organizations.

“Ah, it’s the chief of the Pure Wind Clan. We’re really fated to meet here!”

A man from the Wang Xiang family greeted with a smile.

Despite that, no matter how Li Ran looked at it, he felt that the person was not very polite. Behind his smile was a bit of disdain, as well as vigilance?

The Pure Wind Clan did not have a high status in Sifang Town, and it was also a clan of Martial Dao in Body Cultivation. It was to be expected that the members of such a family would look down on them.

Being vigilant?

Li Ran soon understood the reason behind this.

Chief Li Xun led the group over and exchanged a few pleasantries with the man from the Wang Xiang family. They were all superficial words.

Li Ran did not pay attention to the commotion on the other side. He directly ignored the looks of the Wang Xiang family’s youth. Instead, he stared unblinkingly at the monster on the ground.

It was a Nine-Tailed Fox. Its nine tails were thick and seemed to be five meters long. Nevertheless, five of its tails had been severed and were bleeding profusely.

The Nine-Tailed Fox’s snow-white fur was stained with blood. From the bloodstains and its appearance, one could tell just how intense the battle had been.

‘No wonder the stone was so excited.’

Just as Li Ran was carefully observing the Nine-Tailed Fox, the gigantic creature lying on the ground suddenly opened its red eyes. Its hatred surged to the heavens. If it refracted flames, Li Ran would have died on the spot.

‘It’s not dead yet?!’

Not only was he not afraid, but he was actually delighted!

This Nine-Tailed Fox was 10,000 years old!

If he could obtain this magical beast and fuse with it, the age of his Soul Ring would increase by several times!

“What are you looking at? That’s not something you have the right to possess. You have such a big appetite. Why don’t you take a look at yourself?”

The youth from the Wang Xiang family berated Li Ran with an arrogant and disdainful look.

“Son! Don’t be rude!”

The man was still exchanging pleasantries with Li Xun. When he heard the youth’s words, his face immediately darkened, and he quickly turned around.

“Chief Li, I’m really sorry. My little son has been disrespectful since young. Please forgive him!”

Li Xun waved his hand and looked in the direction of the youth. His eyebrows raised slightly.

‘No wonder these people are having an argument here.

‘So it was because of the Nine-Tailed Fox.’
