Climb over!
Su Jingxing, who was hanging on the cliff, rested for a moment before continuing to run.
However, this time, he was going upwards.
He raced up the steep cliff face.
For a height of a thousand meters, Su Jingxing rested three times in between before successfully climbing up to the peak.
“Hu~”
Standing at the very top of the cliff, he was greeted by a cool breeze. His field of vision suddenly widened.
In front of him was a vast sea of clouds floating among the peaks.
It covered the scenery behind the cliff and also blocked the view from the sky.
No one knew what lay at the center of the mountain range.
He could only feel a rich sense of vitality rushing towards him.
Worldly energy!
For the first time, Su Jingxing clearly felt a wave of energy swimming in the world.
This was something he had not felt on the way here.
Not to mention in Qinghe City where all sorts of auras were mixed.
“Huff—”
He took a deep breath and calmed the excitement in his heart.
Su Jingxing removed his steel claws and ate an Essence Energy Pill to keep himself awake and ensure he had ample energy.
Then, he put on his steel claws again and quickly scanned the peak of the mountain before running to the right.
After running for some distance, he began to descend the mountain.
Following a steep slope that sloped downwards, he used the Eight Step Rising Dragon.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Hu! Hu! Hu!
A cool breeze blew and there was a sweet fragrance in the air.
It was the fragrance from mature herbs and delicacies.
Su Jingxing took a deep breath and felt a lot more refreshed.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Heading straight down, Su Jingxing soon disappeared into the sea of clouds.
Of course, in Su Jingxing’s vision, the scenery behind the cliff became clearer and clearer.
Through the thin mist, he could see a faintly discernible valley ahead.
As he ran, when the steep slope reached its end, Su Jingxing could already see the valley clearly.
All kinds of precious flowers and plants could be seen everywhere. They were colorful and resplendent. A large forest was close to the left side of the cliff. It was verdant and lush, with birds flying in the air.
Under the stimulation of the rich vitality, small animals ran and jumped around in the sea of flowers. A river a dozen feet wide meandered, flowing past the western edge of the valley.
The fragrant aroma lingered in the valley with the cool breeze.
What a hidden paradise!
The informant wasn’t lying. At the very least, the worldly energy in this valley was extremely rich. It wasn’t strange that heavenly treasures like the Muyan Flower had appeared.
Only such a place could satisfy the growth of heavenly treasures.
Su Jingxing stood at the end of the steep slope and retracted his gaze after a while.
Next, he continued to execute the Eight Step Rising Dragon and ran down along the mountain face.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Moving down was much easier than climbing up.
After a while, Su Jingxing left the mountain face and stood in a sea of flowers.
Su Jingxing activated his secret ability, Advanced Hearing and listened for any movements within a hundred meters. He then walked straight to the west of the river.
According to the informant, the Muyan Flower grew near the river.
Otherwise, he would not have spotted it.
This valley was huge.
There was a sea of flowers, a lawn, and a small forest in between.
Therefore, it was impossible to know what heavenly treasures were in the valley without walking around personally.
Su Jingxing’s first target was the Muyan Flower, so he naturally headed straight to the river.
However, as he walked, he suddenly raised his hand and threw out an ordinary iron throwing dagger.
Swish!
Pu!
Amidst the sound of rushing wind, the head of a colorful snake that was hiding in the grass and quietly approaching Su Jingxing exploded.
Swish!
A throwing dagger knife was flung backward.
Plkch~!
An exceptionally large bee the size of an adult’s palm exploded.
Swish!
The sound of rushing wind swept across the sea of flowers. A huge frog the size of a washbasin, covered in poisonous tumors, had a massive hole in its chest.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
As Su Jingxing walked on, throwing daggers were launched.
All of the poisonous creatures that attempted to approach Su Jingxing or launch sneak attacks died miserably.
By the time Su Jingxing walked out of the small forest, a dozen poisonous creatures lay dead on both sides of the path.
The clear and spacious river ahead was in plain sight.
It was at this moment that Su Jingxing caught sight of a novel battle.
There was a pig and a goose!
The pig was a wild boar. No, to be precise, it was a mutated boar.
This was because it was too big, twice the size of an adult ox.
Its enormous body was covered in crimson scales, and at first glance, it looked like the Qilin. Its four thick limbs had the ground rumbling as it ran. A pair of curved and sharp tusks protruded from the corner of its mouth, revealing itself in the air, making one feel fearful and wary.
Such a wild boar was clearly a Mutated Beast.
As for the goose, it was also big in size——more than a meter tall, its entire body was snow-white.
At first glance, it looked like a common big white goose.
At the second glance, it looked like a beautiful swan.
At the third glance, well, this was no goose, but a fierce fighting chicken.
It was too aggressive!
Despite the huge difference in size between the two beasts, the white goose was not afraid of the Red-Scaled Porcupine at all.
That’s right, Su Jingxing recalled that this mutated wild boar was called the Red-Scaled Porcupine.
It was a type of Savage Beast!
Whether the white goose fighting against it was a Savage Beast or Spiritual Beast was unknown for the time being.
In any case, it was very fierce because it could fly.
This alone did not match the characteristics of an ordinary big white goose.
The white goose flapping around the Red-Scaled Porcupine from time to time was extremely ferocious.
However, the Red-Scaled Porcupine’s defense was too strong. The white goose’s attack could not break through the red scales. Not even a white mark was left behind.
The only spot where the goose could threaten the Red-Scaled Porcupine was its eyes.
In the face of the white goose’s frenzied attack on its eyes, the Red-Scaled Porcupine, which had been running back and forth and circling around for a long time, suddenly dropped to the ground and closed its eyes. It raised its thick forelimbs and covered its head, leaving itself at the mercy of the white goose.
The white goose was dumbfounded!
The Red-Scaled Porcupine’s move was very effective. If the white goose could not break through its defense, no amount of aggressiveness would work.
Su Jingxing didn’t know what its innate divine power was.
But the Red-Scaled Porcupine’s talent was clearly its body, its defense was invincible.
What was it for the white goose?
If it did not have a specific divine power, it would not be able to do anything to the Red-Scaled Porcupine.
Further developments also proved this.
The berserk white goose jumped around on the Red-Scaled Porcupine’s hill-like body and attacked everyone, but it had only tickled the Red-Scaled Porcupine.
At the end, the white goose had no choice but to give up. It flapped its wings dejectedly and flew across the river.
The Red-Scaled Porcupine waited for a moment. After making sure that the white goose had left, it stood up with a snort and looked across the river with its huge head. Its red eyes were filled with mockery.
That smug expression and arrogant attitude seemed to be saying——
That’s it?
That’s it?!
Across the river, the white goose honked but did not fly back.
Clearly, it knew that it was useless to be angry.
“Grunt grunt!”
The Red-Scaled Porcupine was very proud of this. Swinging its tail, it moved its four thick limbs and walked to a sea of flowers by the river. It lowered its head and started to munch.
Su Jingxing wanted to continue watching the show, but his gaze suddenly froze as he exclaimed.
“Stop those hands… No, stop eating!”
