Chapter 456: The Ancient Legend
Tuesday’s chapter.
Edited by: LikyLiky
In Tianya Haige, there was a legend which ca from the ancient past. In ancient tis, Tianya Haige didn’t exist, there was only an extrely vast open land. The land was constantly exposed to extrely high temperatures which caused the ground to crumble into sand, forming the desert.
Under the ground, deep under the land, there was an ancient fire which radiated endless heat. That fire burned for eons until it finally started to gain consciousness, several parts of the fire transford into wolves. That was the legend surrounding how fire wolves erged in the desert.
Besides, fire wolves were known for having special powers, so of them were proficient in using powerful illusions. Even if the wolves hadn’t reached the Tian level, they were able to use the illusions to appear human. After that the wolves would appear no different from anyone else, nobody was ever able to identify a fire wolf’s illusion.
Ti passed by and the legend turned into a story, a story about the humans who entered a bloody war against the fire wolves, with the humans erging victorious. However, every few hundred years, fire wolves would erge from under the desert and the bloody cycle would repeat. After countless bloody wars, the humans built the city of Tianya Haige and sealed the ground surrounding the city. However, outside of Tianya Haige, there was still a vast desert for them to erge. The wolves didn’t try to break the seal in Tianya Haige, instead they would erge in the outer desert and begin their rampage.
A sea of fire wolves would appear outside of Tianya Haige every few hundred years. Most people didn’t believe the ancient legend, but they knew the story regarding the bloody wars.
Since the last ti the wolves erged, the story had faded from peoples’ mories. Even though the king was riding a fire wolf, no one would ever connect it to the story regarding fire wolves. However, at that mont, the wolf king had transford into a four-tailed fire wolf, which filled everyone with dread.
Those tails were a sign of an upcoming catastrophe. The number of tails indicated the level of the wolf. The wolf king had four tails which proved it was a fourth level Xuan beast, if it had five tails, it would an that it was a level five Xuan beast.
“The external part of Tianya Haige is dood, everything is going to be destroyed.” Thought the tribe mbers while shaking. Those fire wolves were extrely ferocious and vicious; they were known for their bloody massacres. The ergence of fire wolves would be a terrifying event, it would cause the desert to be dyed red with blood.
In fact, all the leaders from the Wolves of the Desert must have been fire wolves which had transford themselves to appear as humans, that was how the wolf king was able to absorb their power.
The tails of the wolf king were swinging through the air, its eyes looked cruel and it was fixedly glaring at Lin Feng, it then said: “Initially, we wanted to start at a later date, but you have forced us to speed up our plans.”
The wolf was still speaking in human tongue, its voice was ice-cold. After it finished speaking, a terrifying fire Qi filled the air and the wolf disappeared into the sand.
Lin Feng wasn’t born in the desert, he didn’t know about the story regarding fire wolves. He frowned and released a terrifying deadly energy and rushed forwards, he wasn’t going to let the wolf king escape.
“Lin Feng!”
However, at that mont, Nuo Na shouted out which surprised Lin Feng. He turned his head and looked towards Nuo Na as if he didn’t understand.
He only saw that Nuo Na looked absolutely terrified. Lin Feng was confused by the turn of events. It seed like everybody there was terrified by the Wolves of the Desert.
“Lin Feng, let’s leave quickly! We have to flee the desert and move to the city!” Shouted Nuo Na who was panic-stricken. At the sa ti, the mbers of the Wolves of the Desert also started to escape at full speed. Everyone was crazily trying to escape, they rushed through the desert like lunatics.
“What’s going on Nuo Na?!” Asked Lin Feng, he had no idea what had caused the people to run scared. The wolf king had turned into a wolf, Lin Feng was surprised, but not that much. Could it be that Nuo Na was surprisingly terrified because of that?
But at that mont, Lin Feng suddenly felt a tremble run through his body, he looked astonished. ng Qing and Lin Feng glanced at each other, they both looked extrely surprised.
The fire Qi which they had sensed under the ground was the ancient fire from legends. At that mont, the fire Qi was growing stronger, as if a volcanic eruption was close, it was a disaster.
“Let’s go, we have to run otherwise we won’t make it! I will tell you the details on the way” Nuo Na ignored the fact that Lin Feng and ng Qing were confused, she imdiately rushed over to grab ng Qing’s hand and started running towards Lin Feng and said: “Hurry up! We have to go and reach the city if we want to keep our lives!”
Lin Feng was stupefied. It seed like everyone was terrified because the Fire Qi beneath the desert.
“ng Qing!” Shouted Lin Feng. ng Qing imdiately understood and rose into the air while holding onto Nuo Na.
Nuo Na let out a squeal of surprise. She had always wondered what it would be like to fly through the sky, but at that mont, she only felt nauseous.
ng Qing had only grabbed hold of one of her arms, suddenly another hand grabbed Nuo Na’s other arm, she turned her head and noticed Lin Feng had flown over. ng Qing and Lin Feng were each holding one of her arms as they flew through the sky.
“How strong... Lin Feng and his wife are both so powerful.” Thought Nuo Na in surprise. Flying through the air was sothing that she had always dreamt of, and at that mont her dream had co true. However, this was not how she had imagined it, she wasn’t as excited and happy as when she dreamt about it.
Her father was dead and her tribe had been destroyed, on top of that, the fire wolves were about to erge for another blood bath.
“Nuo Na, what’s going on?”
The pure Qi was whistling through the air as they flew through the clouds, which made Lin Feng’s voice hard to hear over the whistling sounds.
“Lin Feng, approximately every hundred years, the fire wolves erged from the depths of the earth. These wolves were born in a sea of fire and when they are unleashed into the desert, they started a massacre and moved to attack Tianya Haige.”
With the powerful wind hitting her face, it was difficult for Nuo Na to form a sentence. She then added: “Those fire wolves were able to use illusions, the leaders of the Wolves of the Desert are actually all fire wolves that disguised themselves as humans. Since the wolves have already started to erge, and didn’t imdiately attack, it ans that they have developed a larger strategy over the past hundred years.”
“So you are telling that since the wolf king was a fire wolf, it ans that there is an army of fire wolves that have been plotting underground? They were not attacking the humans previously because they were preparing sothing on a larger scale?”
When Lin Feng heard Nuo Na’s explanation, he remained silent for a mont and then continued to question her. He was surprised. The fire wolves ca from the depths of the earth... It seed like the fire Qi that ng Qing and Lin Feng had sensed wasn’t an illusion.
“Indeed, they were preparing a large-scale strategy, but because they identified them and because the wolves they were using for the plan were killed by you, they will attack while they still have the elent of surprise.” Said Nuo Na while nodding. Her hair was ssily fluttering through the wind, her forehead was wrinkled and her eyes filled with dread.
An army of fire wolves would soon erge.
“Fire wolves...” Whispered Lin Feng. He gazed into the distance and saw countless fire wolves erging from the sand. The wolves varied in size, so were large and other were small, so only had a single tail while others had nurous tails.
“It’s really happening...”
Nuo Na was stupefied and continued: “Lin Feng, we need to hurry, we have to take shelter in Tianya Haige as soon as possible! Each ti the wolves erge, so monstrously strong fire wolves will be leading them. It’s terrifying! The wolves will continue to erge until the desert is filled with a sea of wolves, and then they will begin their attacks on Tianya Haige.”
“How far is Tianya Haige from here?” Asked Lin Feng.
“About five hundred kilotres.” Replied Nuo Na which shocked Lin Feng. Another five hundred kilotres?!
“It seems like we are going to have to fight with the army of fire wolves.” Said Lin Feng while smiling wryly. Five hundred kilotres... ng Qing and Lin Feng couldn’t possibly carry Nuo Na over such a long distance. First, they would consu too much pure Qi attempting it, and second they weren’t able to cover that distance, especially while carrying another person.
“Nuo Na, we have broken through to the Xuan Qi layer, but we cannot continuously fly, we need to use pure Qi in order for us to fly. Only cultivators of the Tian Qi layer are able to fly freely through the sky.” Said Lin Feng, then continued: “I have a large number of purity stones but it’s possible that it won’t be enough to reach Tianya Haige...”
Nuo Na was speechless, so would they have to fight against the wolves?
“Don’t worry, Nuo Na. With ng Qing and here, a few fire wolves won’t be much of a problem.” Said Lin Feng while smiling. His voice sounded comforting and he was attempting to lighten Nuo Na’s mood. But Lin Feng’s mind was still reeling, he was shocked that there was a beast swarm which could erge from underground.
