Chapter 374 Mutant
Xiao Bing followed the footprints on the ground, which ran deep into the woods. The environnt here was extrely harsh. It was humid, with bushes and toxic insects everywhere. Few of Xiao Bing’s missions had been carried out under such extre conditions.
Xiao Bing had to use his Gang Spirit to protect himself, lest he get bitten by these toxic creatures.
Once a man reached the Innate Realm and the Gang-strength stage, he could form a shield of Gang spirit around himself. The more powerful he was, the longer it could last. Xiao Bing was way beyond the Gang-strength stage, so he could manipulate his Gang spirit easily. But it would still consu a lot of energy to keep it in place. Xiao Bing could only make it last for 7 or 8 hours now. He assud Feng XIII could only make it last for 2 or 3 hours, since this man was less powerful than him. As for the masters of Gang-strength stage, they could only use their Gang spirit during a battle, because they could not make it last longer than half an hour.
The mountain stretched endlessly. Xiao Bing could not figure out why Feng XIII chose this route. Could it be re happenstance? But in 2 or 3 hours, Feng XIII’s Gang spirit would run out. Even Xiao Bing could easily get injured here, what more for Feng XIII, who had to protect the one with God’s Blood. Half an hour later, Xiao Bing even found two cannibalistic flowers at the site. God only knows what kind of harsh place this was. Xiao Bing believed that there was only one other place like this in Asia.
Xiao Bing heard a crack as he stepped on sothing. He looked down and found there were bones under his feet. He had just trod on a skull.
Xiao Bing resud walking and soon he found other skeletons. For so reasons, he found this forest grueso and scary.
Xiao Bing shook his head. He was sure that it was not his misconception. The fear in his heart was oddly real.
Though Xiao Bing had faced many powerful enemies before, he never had such a feeling like this. It was not just because of the skeletons. Lethal creatures like ancistrodon acutus, scorpions, chompers and centipedes could be found everywhere in this forest. Even the flies here were much bigger than those from other places.
This was a forest, but it slt of hell.
It did sll like hell.
Xiao Bing did not know if there was hell. But if there was one, it must be here.
This was because Xiao Bing saw a road paved with nurous skeletons. So of them were dull red in color, because the blood had seeped into them.
It seed that a lot of people had died here. But it was reasonable because this forest was not ant for normal people. Few people on earth could use their Gang spirit to protect them like Xiao Bing. He wondered what their purpose was for entering this forest.
A snake slid toward Xiao Bing. It hit against Xiao Bing’s Gang spirit, fell to the ground and dropped dead.
Xiao Bing continued walking. But gradually his vision blurred and he could not see his surroundings clearly. It turned out there was a pink and poisonous mist hovering around him.
Xiao Bing frowned when he realized that he was surrounded by the mist. Xiao Bing slashed at the mist, which dispelled it a little. Then he dashed forward.
What the hell is this place?
Xiao Bing held his breath. Though he was protected by his Gang spirit, it did not an that he would not be hard by the poisonous mist. Xiao Bing was still a human being who could be poisoned to death, no matter how powerful he was.
Xiao Bing ran fast. He made it to the top of the mountain within three minutes. He ran well away from the toxic mist. But he had a bigger problem now: Xiao Bing lost track of Feng XIII due to the mist.
Xiao Bing kept climbing and arrived at the top, only to find that behind the mountain, there was a steep cliff, which made it impossible for him to descend. God knows why there was such a deep cliff. Any martial artist would die if he fell from this cliff.
That ant that Feng XIII could not have hidden behind the mountain. Where he could be?
Xiao Bing was imrsed in his thoughts.
The mountain top was a wilderness, and there were no trees or dense bushes. He felt safer and did not need the protection of the Gang spirit. Xiao Bing could even sense a centipede moving towards him.
This was doubtless the safest place on this mountain for Xiao Bing, so far. Xiao Bing sat down with his legs crossed. It seed that he could take a rest before continuing his search for Feng XIII.
The sky was completely dark now. Feng XIII was also a powerful master. If he wanted to hide, Xiao Bing would have a hard ti looking for him. So he decided to take a rest first, instead of wasting his energy. Otherwise he might be at a disadvantage if he encountered Feng XIII tomorrow.
But what was important now was that Feng XIII could not keep his Gang Spirit going for such a long ti. Where he could go in such a dangerous forest? Maybe there was a place he was not aware of in this mountain?
Xiao Bing sat down, his legs crossed and eyes closed, seemingly half-asleep. Xiao Bing would never lose his sanity, no matter how dangerous his environnt was. Xiao Bing could go without water or food for two or three days, but he could not go without sleep.
Since he could not find Feng XIII now, he decided to have a good slumber.
Then Xiao Bing fell asleep and woke up the next morning.
Feng XIII must have already gone far away during the night, if he intended to leave.
But Xiao Bing was 80 percent sure that Feng XIII was still within this mountain. He could not exert his Gang spirit for long, which ant that he must have found a place that had no bushes.
As long as there were no bushes, there was no need to be worried about toxic insects. Xiao Bing could sense any poisonous creatures, as long as the distance between them was within ten ters. He kept up his vigilance, even when he was sleeping, so he was not worried at all.
But the grasses were rather dense around the mountain. One could not be sure if sothing would suddenly show up and bite him, no matter how powerful he was.
This was the environnt where Feng XIII had survived the night. Xiao Bing was certain that Feng XIII had not left the mountain, because one of the ships had been destroyed by him and he had captured the other one, which ant that Feng XIII could not leave by ship.
It would be difficult for him to leave this place on foot. First of all, the mountains here stretched relentlessly and bottomless cliffs would inevitably be encountered at the end. If he wanted to take a detour, it would take at least a day, Besides, he was carrying a person and he could only use his Gang spirit for one or two hours, which ant he had to take several hours’ rest. So he must not have gone far, let alone leaving the mountain.
Besides, Xiao Bing did not believe that this man would travel the mountain road in the night. It was too dangerous.
Xiao Bing rose and found that the mist had dispersed. He imdiately started to search for clues. After about ten minutes, Xiao Bing found the man’s footprints. They were headed toward the west. Xiao Bing followed, but then he found the footprints getting fainter and fainter, as the bushes beca denser. Xiao Bing had to keep going west.
After about ten minutes’ walking, Xiao Bing paused, feeling extrely agitated。 He had never felt this bewildered before. Searching for a man in such a mountain was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Xiao Bing did not know which way this man had gone, since the footprints had disappeared.
He suddenly found a drop of dried blood on the grasses. Then a fly landed on the grass and seed to suck the blood. Then sothing unbelievable happened before Xiao Bing’s eyes. The fly beca three tis bigger, like a dragonfly. And its fluttering was louder than usual. Then, it dived toward Xiao Bing, like a bomber plane.
