Chapter 1306. Obsidian Elephant
“All I can say is, whoever ventures across that mountain does not return,” Lotus Empress said solemnly.
Although Han Sen was sometimes reckless, even he knew it was best to stay away from such a place. If a risk was justified or worthwhile, he would always be the first to take the plunge. But a fruitless risk was never something he’d commit to, as he wasn’t a simple thrill-seeker.
So, Han Sen decided it was best to take the long way around. He thought it would be better to walk additional miles than risk life and limb in the shortcut of cutting across the mountain.
Before he could circle it, though, Han Sen suddenly heard something roar, and then, nearby footsteps. The source of the noise was not too far away, and the sound of footsteps was steadily increasing in volume. Something was already coming for them.
Han Sen frowned, though, thinking there was something amiss about his entire venture thus far.
Lotus Empress had been in this region many times in the past, but nothing like this had occurred in her previous visits.
First, there was the ever-looming presence of Sea Ghost, in a portion of the sea it was not supposed to inhabit. Secondly, something from the mountain was descending down towards them, despite their desire to steer clear of the rise.
“Surely I cannot be this unlucky!” To say things were going awry for Han Sen would be an understatement.
And to make matters worse, there were thick forests dressing the mountainsides. Whatever was coming towards him was cloaked in the dense foliage, rendering Han Sen unable to see what it was.
