Chapter 1185 - 1182: Ye Ling
The bodies of these monsters are not large, about the size of a regular watchdog, but their appearance is somewhat bizarre. They have the head of a dog, while their body resembles a small foal's.
Even stranger, each of these monsters emits a peculiar dark red aura from its body, and their eyes also glow with an eerie red light.
Numerous monsters surrounded Feng Lingfeng's body, their menacing red eyes glinting fiercely. Suddenly, one monster let out a furious roar, spewing a flame from its mouth.
Feng Lingfeng was taken aback; she didn't have the luxury to think further, and lifted her palms, sweeping them wildly at the monsters around her.
Lin Chuan had already stood up by this time. The two little creatures, originally snoozing in his clothing pocket, leapt out and screeched on Lin Chuan's shoulders.
"Xiao Ling, Xiao Hei, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the two little creatures in a state of panic and unease, Lin Chuan asked.
Xiao Ling shot up from Lin Chuan's shoulder, flitting around him while hissing twice before darting forward.
Lin Chuan was slightly taken aback and hurriedly followed.
Xiao Ling moved quickly, and Lin Chuan was not slow either. He caught up with Xiao Ling in no time, and after just a few meters, the previously furnace-like space began to change again.
This time, the surroundings no longer felt like a furnace but turned into a freezing space.
"Damn," Lin Chuan couldn't help but curse under his breath, "What the hell is this? It was burning hot just now, and after only a few steps, it's freezing cold."
There was no other way; Lin Chuan had to utilize the Inner Qi generated by the Heavenly Heart Skill and Sealing Heart Skill to resist this icy coldness.
The two little creatures seemed unfazed by the cold environment, their nimble bodies darting forward with lightning speed.
Lin Chuan, while warding off the biting cold with effort, ran forward following the two little creatures.
Feng Lingfeng swept her palms fiercely at the group of monsters, immediately shattering the flame-spewing monster into pieces, and then it surprisingly vanished like air.
This was an illusion created by this strange array, and Feng Lingfeng was startled, realizing her attempt to break the array had resulted in being trapped in it instead.
Countless monsters suddenly pounced towards Feng Lingfeng, surrounding her from all sides. Feng Lingfeng didn't have time to strategize, twisting her body and soaring into the air.
While in mid-air, Feng Lingfeng conjured several talismans in her hand, shouting sweetly, "Demon Exorcism Talisman, be gone!"
Several talismans flew from Feng Lingfeng's hand into the group of monsters, but strangely, the talismans seemed to have no effect; the monsters remained unharmed.
In mid-air, Feng Lingfeng felt her Inner Qi falter, her body plummeting toward the waiting jaws of the monsters below.
At this critical moment, a figure shot over like lightning, both palms striking out ferociously, shattering seven or eight monsters poised to devour Feng Lingfeng.
The figure followed up with an agile maneuver, grabbing the rapidly falling Feng Lingfeng around the waist, twisting mid-air, and swiftly shooting off in another direction. Behind the figure, a point of golden light followed swiftly, trailed by a tiny black shadow.
The savior was none other than Lin Chuan, with the golden light and small black shadow being Xiao Ling and Xiao Hei.
Lin Chuan, holding Feng Lingfeng by the waist, landed on the ground. The surrounding space changed once more, with the monsters disappearing, replaced by a sea of fire.
Despite the surrounding flames, Lin Chuan didn't feel the heat, thanks to the enigmatic Illusion Yin Flower.
As Lin Chuan entered this fiery space, the Illusion Yin Flower manifested from his right palm, forming an invisible protective shield that surrounded Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan wore no more than a brief pair of shorts, and with Feng Lingfeng in his arms, she could feel the warmth of his body. Her flawless face blushed with a hint of unusual emotion.
...
Ye Ling had survived a brush with death; had it not been for someone saving her, she might very well have become a wandering ghost.
As the quintessential wealthy second-generation, Ye Ling had one main hobby: mountain climbing.
She had climbed many mountains, but never Kunlun Mountain. One day, she saw stunning pictures of Kunlun Mountain online, and immediately decided she wanted to go.
Upon arriving at Kunlun Mountain, she toured Yuxu Peak and Tianding Peak, and with her best friend Yang Xiaoyun, screamed at the top of the peak, only to accidentally slip and "float" down from the peak.
As she "floated" halfway down the mountain, convinced she was doomed, suddenly a long-haired youth arrived swiftly, riding a beam of light to catch her mid-air.
Ye Ling, her face pale with fright, strangely didn't feel scared being held in the youth's arms. Seeing his well-sculpted features, her heart inexplicably began to race.
Just as her heart was pounding, the youth gently placed her down, smiled, and turned to leave.
Ye Ling, not yet knowing the name of her rescuer, naturally called out to him, "Thank you for saving me. What is your name?"
The young boy turned back and smiled, then vanished between the mountain cliffs without saying a word.
Ye Ling felt a surge of anger in her heart. No boy had ever dared treat her like this. She decided she had to find him and make him bow at her feet.
This boy was none other than Feng'er, who had just come down from Kunlun Mountain.
Feng'er bid farewell to his master and began searching for the Tian Mang that his master spoke of, but despite wandering for a long time in Kunlun Mountain, he could not find it.
Earlier, he unintentionally saved Ye Ling, that very girl from before.
Feng'er had always lived with his master on Kunlun Mountain. To be honest, he knew nothing of the real world.
Feng'er didn't even know his own surname; his master once told him he was an orphan.
After saving Ye Ling, Feng'er did not linger. He passed by Yuxu Peak and continued searching for the Tian Mang his master had mentioned.
At this moment, it was sunset, the evening glow dyed half the sky red.
Not far ahead, a strange roar suddenly rang out. Feng'er paused, then soared in the direction of the peculiar sound.
Feng'er's speed was very fast, slightly less than Lin Chuan's, but still astonishingly fast.
In an instant, Feng'er witnessed the unfolding scene: in a dense forest, two men were facing a beast.
This beast had two enormous horns growing from its head, stood three or four meters tall, and looked remarkably similar to an ancient dinosaur.
The beast roared, suddenly leaping forward, attempting to bite the two men.
These two men were none other than Zhang Wenhui and Gabula, who had come to Kunlun Mountain in search of Han Gu Pass.
At this critical moment, Feng'er shouted, "Break the Sun."
A beam of light shot out from Feng'er's body, swirling around him, buzzing loudly.
Zhang Wenhui and Gabula had already trekked through Kunlun Mountain for a day; this place was deep in the heart of the mountain, virtually deserted. Encountering such a monster startled them greatly.
Zhang Wenhui wasted no time, drawing his pistol from his waist and firing two shots at the beast, while Gabula raised his hunting rifle and fired two shots as well.
The four bullets hit the beast, but did not injure it at all; instead, they provoked the beast's wrath.
Just as Zhang Wenhui and Gabula were about to be devoured by the beast, a ray of light suddenly shot from the sky, piercing through the beast's body.
The light pierced through the beast, which roared deafeningly and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
As the beast lay on the ground, the light shot out from its body and vanished. Before Zhang Wenhui and Gabula could recover from their shock, a person appeared before them.
This person was none other than Feng'er, their rescuer.
As they looked at the smiling young man before them, Zhang Wenhui and Gabula were stunned for a moment before hurriedly thanking Feng'er.
Feng'er smiled and said, "No need to thank me. If you want to, could you tell me if you know who Tian Mang is?"
Feng'er was inexperienced in the world; at this moment he seemed somewhat desperate for a lead.
This was indeed the right person to ask. Zhang Wenhui had come to Kunlun Mountain to find Tian Mang, and he already knew that Tian Mang was Lin Chuan.
Hearing that the young man who saved them was also looking for Lin Chuan, Zhang Wenhui was momentarily confused before he finally asked, "Why are you looking for Tian Mang?"
Feng'er replied with a smile, "I am looking for him on my master's orders. My master said he is the one who can stop the impending disaster and instructed me to assist him."
Feng'er was truly as simple as a blank slate; when Zhang Wenhui asked, he revealed everything truthfully.
Zhang Wenhui sized up the young man before him. From his smile and eyes, Zhang Wenhui could tell the boy was very naïve, and with a laugh, he said, "We happen to be looking for Tian Mang too; why don't you join us?"
Feng'er was taken aback, then overjoyed. After exchanging names, the three of them set off together toward Han Gu Pass.
It must be said that Zhang Wenhui was quite fortunate. With Feng'er as a bodyguard along the way, what danger was there to fear?
Mysteriously, it seemed fate had arranged everything. Feng'er and Zhang Wenhui were both assisting Lin Chuan in preventing the impending disaster, not anticipating that they would all gather at Han Gu Pass.
