Chapter 333: 333
Under the first glimmer of dawn, the land on the east side of the mountains had a dense forest with extremely luxuriant leaves and trees.
A savage standing about two meters tall stood big beside a huge tree. The person was covered with reddish-brown fur and had a high nose. The person had a ferocious and ugly appearance as she looked cautiously at Ling Yun, or rather, curiously.
Dugu Mo’s family was located within the vast Hengduan Mountain Range. Hengduan Mountain Range consisted of the longest and widest mountains heading from the north to south in the entirety of Huaxia. It was also Huaxia’s second level flight of steps which was located at the southeast part of Qinghai-Tibetan plateau. It obstructed the traffic from Huaxia east to west.
Dugu Mo loved exploring ever since he was a small boy. Not only did he have a talent for cultivation, but his martial arts were also much better than people of his generation. Moreover, he had done deep research on spell formations, ancient Chinese divination traditions, five elements, eight trigrams, and many others all so that he could explore famous mountains and great rivers.
Dugu Mo advanced into Houtian Realm Level Seven when he was around fourteen years old. It was from then on that he started exploring Hengduan Mountain Range on his own. Standing on top of the snow line of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau, he personally witnessed a savage. In fact, he had seen them more than once.
There was only a mountain separating Hengduan Mountain Range and Shennongjia. Therefore, Dugu Mo had always run over to Shennongjia to play, which explained why he was very familiar with Shennongjia.
Dugu Mo cried out in shock, not because he saw a savage. He was shocked because he realized that they were in Shennongjia of the Northern Hubei Province!
Not too long ago, they were still at Jiangnan Province’s Qingshui City’s Dragon Mountain, and in the blink of an eye, they emerged from Northern Hebei Province’s Shennongjia. How could he not be shocked?
At this moment, one of them was in Physique Tempering Stage Four, while the other was just about to break into the Xiantian Realm. Just by comparing their strength and speed, they were superior to the savages, which was why they weren’t afraid of them. The way they looked at the savages was the same as the way they looked at lions in the zoo.
“Shennongjia? We’re at the Northern Hubei Province?” Ling Yun’s heart was trembling.
There was no doubt that Ling Yun knew about the geography of Huaxia. Before entering the crater, he even went through Huaxia’s ancient legends once. Therefore, he naturally knew that Shennong, also known as the Farmer God, spent a long time at Shennongjia, where he blessed the land with all sorts of flora which benefited the people.
Dugu Mo lifted his hand to point at that highest mountain. “Look, that is the Shennongding, which is over three thousand one hundred meters tall! I was there just last year!”
Following that, he continued in shock, “It was rumored that Shennongjia was one of the Farmer God’s Daoist rites. Shennong was the Earth Emperor, and we were transported here. Could the real Earth Emperor’s Book be here?”
At this moment, the savage suddenly flew towards them from the big tree. One jump was about seven to eight meters and extremely quick!
“Female… Hey, genius! I’ve heard that the female savages of Shennongjia would usually catch a few single men to have children with them. Who do you think she is after?”
Dugu Mo was completely fearless, and he even cracked a joke with Ling Yun at a time like this.
Just as he finished his sentence, the female savage arrived in front of the two of them. She came to a halt as she stared at Dugu Mo before looking at Ling Yun. After a while, her eyes were fixed on Ling Yun’s face, and she started laughing out loud.
“Hey, genius! Why are you also so handsome? You’re even more handsome than me, but look, you can just wait to be captured by this lady. She’ll definitely bring you back to help her give birth to some young savages…”
Dugu Mo started laughing at Ling Yun, and before he was done laughing, both of them heard a lot more footsteps approaching them. In the blink of an eye, a few more female savages appeared and surrounded the two of them.
Ling Yun saw this and started laughing at Dugu Mo. “What now? One of us to three of them. Shall we compete to see who can impregnate more?”
Dugu Mo looked at Ling Yun with a disdainful pair of eyes. “This is what you don’t know! They will choose who they want to have sex with. With a handsome genius like you here, they won’t bother with me at all!”
Indeed, six of the savages gave up on Dugu Mo almost immediately after he said that. All of them surrounded Ling Yun and started conversing in a language which Ling Yun didn’t understand.
“What!” Ling Yun was dumbfounded.
Very soon, as they were almost done conversing, one of the female savages extended a large hand in an attempt to grab Ling Yun.
“Hahahaha! Do you want me to conduct the bride and groom bridal room ceremony? I will definitely not charge you any money! Haha!” Dugu Mo found it so hilarious that he couldn’t help teasing Ling Yun.
“F*ck you! It’s more appropriate for me to conduct for you…” Ling Yun knew that this was their instinct, so he didn’t hurt them. Instead, he executed his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to escape the encirclement of the six savages.
All the six female savages saw was a blur as they saw Ling Yun’s figure gradually disappearing. In the very next moment, they had no idea where Ling Yun escaped to.
When they couldn’t find Ling Yun, their natural instinct was to surround Dugu Mo. This time, they learned their lesson and were afraid that Dugu Mo would disappear like Ling Yun did. Therefore, every one of them moved with rapid speed.
However, no matter how quick they were, they wouldn’t be able to match the speed of Dugu Mo, who was about to advance into the Xiantian Realm. His body flashed and managed to teleport several meters away. Once again, they caught nothing but air.
“I’m an upright man who will never hit a woman, not even a female savage…” After Dugu Mo landed, he started chuckling to himself.
Ling Yun had already carried Little White and was standing on Little Black’s back. He shouted at Dugu Mo, “Let’s go, let’s leave this place!”
“What? We’re leaving just like that? Are you not going to look for the Earth Emperor’s Book?” Dugu Mo cried out.
Ling Yun smiled and said, “I’ve searched through this place while you were sleeping. I’ve only found a bronze cauldron at the stone house, and there is nothing else. Let’s go!”
Ling Yun would be using the bronze cauldron quite often in the future, so there was no need for him to hide this from Dugu Mo. Hiding from him seemed a little too dishonest.
“Bronze cauldron? Could it be the legendary Shennong Cauldron? We have to share it!” Dugu Mo called out as he caught up with them.
Ling Yun had already told Little Black to head towards the southern end of the valley. Following that, he replied Dugu Mo, “Shennong Cauldron? You can continue dreaming, if you’re that lucky we would have found the Earth Emperor’s Book!”
“I don’t care, you have to split half with me… Genius, you look really flashy standing on this dragon. Can I head up there too?” Dugu Mo couldn’t help himself from feeling envious when he saw Ling Yun riding on Little Black.
However, Little Black turned its head towards Dugu Mo in an unfriendly manner, which frightened Dugu Mo so badly that he dared not speak about it anymore. All he could do was to continue using his Qinggong.
Ling Yun was very pleased as he laughed and said, “Look, this is called virtue has its rewards… Speaking of which, even if I give you the cauldron, do you know how to use? Do you even know what it is used for?”
Dugu Mo’s family specialized in refining swords, so he had no use for a cauldron. He scratched his head before chuckling. “Can’t I just play with it?”
Ling Yun rolled his eyes as he cursed, “F*ck you!” All of a sudden, Ling Yun turned around and saw the six savages catching up to them quickly through the forest. Following which, Ling Yun shouted at Little Black and said, “Little Black, you’ve got to hurry up! They are catching up with us!”
The nine-tailed celestial fox, Little White, popped its head out of Ling Yun’s embrace. When it turned back and saw the six savages chasing them, anger flashed across its eyes. It raised its elegant front claws and swung it faintly towards the back of Ling Yun.
The determined female savages suddenly felt that the trees and mountains in front of them started moving. No matter how they jumped or ran, they couldn’t cross. They started shouting anxiously, and when they realized everything went back to normal, they had already lost sight of Ling Yun and company.
Little White executed a fantasy skill most commonly used by fox spirits, and that skill was similar to ghost walls.
“I mean… You are truly an attractive man. Six female savages and none of them chose me! This is way too hurtful to my pride…” Dugu Mo complained at the side.
Ling Yun laughed. “What’s there to complain about? If you head back now, I’m sure they will treat you well!”
The two of them fooled around before Ling Yun said in a serious tone, “Hey, I need to rush back to Qingshui City tonight, but I didn’t bring my identity card out. What do I do?”
Ling Yun had many businesses, so his ID was with Tang Meng most of the time recently. That was bad news.
“Also, do you know what day it is?” Ling Yun suddenly recalled Ning Er’s birthday.
Dugu Mo furrowed his brows as he answered, “The 11th is definitely over, so today should be the 12th. No ID? This is going to be problematic because we won’t be able to take a plane or train. It seems like traveling by car is the only way…”
A worried Ling Yun said, “Looking at the map, Shennongjia and Qingshui City are about two thousand miles apart. How can I make it by car?”
“Two thousand miles should take slightly more than ten hours, right? Otherwise, I don’t know any other way. Don’t tell me we have to use Qinggong back? I’ll probably be tired to death after a few hundred meters…”
Ling Yun and Dugu Mo could travel tens of meters in one flash, so they could cover several miles in an hour, which was indeed faster than cars. However, this was only a mathematical problem.
Flashing across ten meters was mainly used for battles. If they were to stop to take a break and burst every once in a while, they would definitely tire themselves out even if they were Xiantian experts, let alone at their current cultivation levels!
To be frank, they didn’t have enough inner energy! Humans were limited because they would tire out, unlike cars!
As the two of them continued chatting, they arrived at the mountain peak very soon. There were some excessively precipitous areas while ascending the mountain, but Ling Yun and Dugu Mo eased past it. Little White and Little Black were acclimated to the forest, so there was no problem for them either.
Fortunately, this mountain peak wasn’t an attraction on Shennongjia and was quite far away from the main mountain of Shennongjia. Because it was still early, they managed to catch and admire the sunrise. After a while, he instructed Little Black.
Ling Yun got Little Black to stay in Shennongjia. If Little Black liked it, it could stay in that mountain, which was beneficial for his growth. Ling Yun told him that he would definitely be back to look for him.
Little Black was naturally reluctant to leave Ling Yun, but after a few rounds of convincing, coupled with Little White’s deterrence, it could only nod obediently.
Ling Yun repeatedly warned that it shouldn’t harm humans before letting it off.
“Let’s leave while there is no one here. Let’s leave this place before anything else!”
Ling Yun kept thinking about Xue Meining’s birthday and was so worried that he wouldn’t make it in time. Therefore, he wasn’t in the mood to admire the sunrise as he hugged Little White and sped down the mountain with Dugu Mo!
