"This is the Forbidden Mountain Monster, responsible for guarding this forbidden area. Its strength is probably at the peak of the ninth star. There are also rumors that it has already touched the threshold of the path to the supreme, but has not yet fully crossed it."
As he spoke, Zhao Jinlai, who was standing next to Su Luo, gave Su Luo a meaningful look.
Is there really a mountain spirit guardian whose strength is almost at the peak of the nine-star level? I wonder what kind of temperament this mountain spirit has, and whether he will get involved in the battle in the forbidden area of the Holy Domain.
"Don't worry, he won't wander around. Unless he destroys the forbidden area, he probably won't even glance at it."
As long as the forbidden area isn't destroyed, it's fine?
That sounds good, which puts me at ease a bit.
Watching Su Luo hand over the participant token bearing his identity, Zhao Jinlai waved and watched Su Luo and Yang Zijin's backs as they entered the forbidden area of the Holy Domain.
Just after Su Luo and his group entered the forbidden area, the mountain monster, which had been sitting motionless at the mountain gate like a statue, suddenly seemed to sense something. It slowly flapped its strange wings, which were as big as giant mountains, stared directly in the direction of the mountain gate, and exhaled a breath.
"Why...why did the mountain monster suddenly move?"
"No, I don't know, it's never happened before!"
The monsters that had given the speech immediately stepped forward and moved in front of the mountain monster. Gentle, calming auras rippled across the mountain monster's body.
Unfortunately, as the domain's light circle faded, the mountain monster showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it became even more agitated, flapping its wings as if trying to escape the mountain gate.
"No, he's completely out of control!"
"He wants to leave? Where is he going?"
Not far away, several large strange creatures that sensed the turmoil in the forbidden area also appeared at the entrance of the forbidden area. Each of them carried a powerful pressure, and the aura of the Nine Stars suddenly spread out. Several domains collided with each other, and a powerful shock wave was immediately generated!
Afterwards, some of the younger monsters who had not yet entered the forbidden area, and those who were weaker, disappeared into the shockwave without even letting out a scream.
That's impressive!
Is this a showdown between the peak strength of the Nine Stars?
The golden light on his body slowly dissipated, and a jade pendant that looked very old and broken shattered with a bang. Mu Yunrui slowly stood up from the golden light, staring wide-eyed at the guardian mountain monster that was gradually turning scarlet like blood.
"Young Master, the forbidden area's gates are about to close. What should we do now?"
"Charge!"
Seeing the two sides confronting each other above, Mu Yunrui gritted his teeth and ran into the forbidden area. Other strange youths followed suit and rushed into the forbidden area.
Anyone with eyes can see how powerful this mountain monster is. These giant monsters in front of us won't be able to hold us off for long. They will most likely seal the forbidden area immediately. If we really want to go in then, we won't be able to!
"This won't do, we need to shut down the forbidden area immediately!"
"But……"
"As long as the forbidden area is closed, this mountain monster won't be able to exert much power within it. Otherwise, if it were allowed to leave the forbidden area, that would be a disaster for the Holy Domain's main city!"
As expected, these powerful figures and the like thought the same way as Mu Yunrui: in order to stop the mountain monsters' riot, they had no choice but to close the forbidden area ahead of time. As for those who entered the forbidden area, it didn't matter; once the time was up, the forbidden area would naturally repel them, so there was no need to worry too much.
It was precisely because of this that those strange creatures that had not yet entered the forbidden area dared to rush in so eagerly.
"Don't push, don't push!"
The few strange creatures responsible for registration at the mountain gate were quite frightened by the large number of young strange creatures wanting to enter the forbidden area. Before they could even get up, they were swept up and pressed against the mountain gate. Unfortunately, they were too old to get in, so they were in a constant state of being squeezed in and then bounced out, which was quite a precarious situation.
Seeing this chaotic scene, some of the strange creatures that were not originally qualified to enter also began to have designs on it, especially the attendants who followed their young masters and mistresses. Their eyes were fixed on the forbidden mountain gate not far away, and finally, some of the creatures could not resist the temptation and slowly moved forward...
Once the first one appeared, the second one followed. For a time, even the big bosses of the monsters were helpless. They couldn't very well just kill these low-level monsters along with the young ladies and gentlemen from those families at the entrance of the forbidden mountain!
Seeing the young monsters rushing towards the mountain gate, the mountain monster seemed to be angry. It exhaled a breath, and its huge, blood-red maw, big enough to swallow the sky, opened and swooped down towards the forbidden mountain gate!
What is he going to do?
"It seems he intends to annex the Forbidden Land's gate! He... he wants to completely seal off the Forbidden Land's gate!"
The strange creatures, realizing the mountain's sinister intentions, panicked and sped up their work, their domains expanding and slowly connecting one after another.
"Hurry, seal him off quickly, otherwise once he swallows the mountain gate, there will be no way to control him!"
Just then, for some unknown reason, the mountain monster that was suddenly swooping down let out a wail, lost control of its body, turned around, and fell to the ground sideways from mid-air.
For a moment, all the strange creatures who had witnessed it fell silent.
It wasn't because they were frightened by the mountain monster, but because a bloody hole had appeared on the mountain monster's body, on its originally huge fleshy wings. The hole looked like it had been torn off by something!
Just like when you bite into a chicken leg or fried chicken, you take a bite and easily tear off a piece of skin and flesh, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. But when magnified on this mountain monster, it becomes a huge hole filled with blood mist, and it seems as if the sound of the monster chewing can still be heard in the air...
...
After entering the mountain gate, everything was random, much like when Su Luo first came to the Abyss from the apocalypse. Yang Zijing, who was beside her, was teleported to an unknown place. Su Luo used her greatly enhanced five senses to sense her, but could not find any trace of her.
At least, they weren't teleported to this area.
Contrary to Su Luo's expectations, he had imagined that entering the forbidden area would be a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, various birds and beasts, or rare treasures everywhere, where one could find priceless artifacts and peerless magical weapons just by wandering around. He also thought that the surrounding strange energy would be exceptionally rich, suitable for improving one's cultivation level.
But before him lay only ruins, flames burning, and even the starry sky was tinged with crimson.
here it is?
Su Luo took a few steps forward with suspicion and carefully examined an area.
The buildings in front of them appeared to be magnificent palaces and halls, unlike the black-dominated main city of the Holy Domain. Instead, they were pure white, giving them a feeling of a celestial palace or a heavenly kingdom.
However, the Celestial Palace is now filled with unrecognizable, charred, roasted corpses, their bodies emitting a rich... um, aroma?!
Yes, that's right, the aroma.
It's not just the aroma; Su Luo can even see the entire process of the skin and flesh being roasted. The fat is gradually baked out by the fire, sizzling and bubbling, and the skin bulges with one transparent blister after another. Combined, it must be incredibly crisp when you bite into it!
It's a pity there was no chili powder or cumin, otherwise the combination of the two would be perfect!
(Don't forget, time flows differently inside and outside the forbidden area. What takes ten minutes or so outside can take much longer inside.)
