Chapter 191: Chapter 190: Wasteland Savages
After giving Heavenly Defect and Earthly Defect his instructions, Ye Fan set off.
He traveled alone to the Qilian Mountain Base. Qilian Mountain was a vast area, and its outermost—and safest—part was a tourist zone. Behind the tourist zone lay a prival forest that seed to serve as the mountain’s outer defense, a place where few people dared to venture. Civilians had reported seeing ghosts and wildn here, so very few people—not even seasoned explorers—dared to enter. They regarded this mysterious place with a healthy dose of fear and respect.
By the ti Ye Fan passed through the prival forest, night had already fallen. To a Martial Artist like him, this wasn’t yet the dangerous part of the territory. As the moonlight shone down, however, Ye Fan felt its rays piercing through the canopy, so clear and transparent that they seed to illuminate everything before him. Just then, a cool breeze swept by, and an involuntary shiver ran through him—not from fear, but from so other deep-seated tremor. He imdiately drew a sharp breath.
A dense fog rose ahead, and within it, he saw silhouettes that looked like people, floating back and forth. Could these be specters? Ye Fan strode quickly toward the figures. As the King of Heaven, he had no reason to fear such things. Even if they were genuine ghosts, he would feel no dread. When he drew closer, however, he found that nothing had changed; the area remained shrouded in dense fog.
Strange. Could it be an illusion? Ye Fan wondered. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a sound calling out to him.
Ye Fan looked ahead and instantly understood where he was.
The Ghost Cave!
This was the first dangerous checkpoint in the mysterious Qilian Mountain range. Ordinary people would never dare to co here, for the place was saturated with a sense of dread. Yet Ye Fan walked forward without a mont’s hesitation.
About ten minutes later, he reached the Ghost Cave. It was completely enveloped in a thick fog, and there was nothing strange about it. It just seed like a place of Darkness Without Boundaries. As he prepared to delve deeper, he noticed a bracelet. It was the agate bracelet he had given Alice as a gift.
Is this the ssage you left for ? Ye Fan wondered. Sothing unfortunate had indeed happened to Alice here. Realizing this, he bypassed the Ghost Cave and headed directly for the mountainous forest beyond. The mountainous forest was a terrifyingly boundless place. An ordinary person who wandered in here would likely be scared to death, if they weren’t killed outright. But Ye Fan’s expression remained perfectly serene.
ROAR!
Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed, deafening in its intensity. Following the sound, a massive figure charged down at him from the depths of the dense forest. It was a gigantic, ferocious-looking black bear, and riding on its back was a savage wildman. The wildman looked terrifying as he swung a spear and charged at Ye Fan.
"Seeking death!"
Just as the black bear was about five ters away, Ye Fan lashed out with a decisive punch.
BANG!
The bear instantly collapsed, and the wildman tumbled to the ground. He didn’t give up his attack, however, and continued to charge, swinging his spear. Ye Fan threw another punch, killing the wildman instantly.
Then, a volley of sharp projectiles flew out from the forest. They were all made of sharpened stone, but Ye Fan dodged every one of them. He then shouted, "A pack of barbaric wildn, daring to act so presumptuously before this King! Surrender your lives!"
Ye Fan swiftly charged forward to attack. The group of wildn imdiately turned and fled, disappearing into the dense forest, which was like a mysterious maze. Ye Fan did not pursue them, though he surely could have caught up. He stood his ground and noticed an old video cara.
Ye Fan picked it up. Fortunately, it had been protected under a rock; otherwise, it would have been destroyed long ago. He tried to turn it on but failed. Ye Fan was speechless, though on second thought, it made sense. The cara’s casing was already covered in rust. It looked like it had been here for at least a year. There were many withered bones scattered nearby.
Ye Fan took out the storage card and inserted it into his phone. Sure enough, there was a video on it. He played it and was instantly confronted by a bloody scene. Four or five explorers had just arrived in the area when they were captured by the group of wildn, who proceeded to boil them alive. The person filming was apparently the only survivor. He had been hiding and recording in secret but was discovered, forcing him to flee in a panic. At that mont, he tripped over a stone, and the cara flew from his grasp. It landed on the ground, perfectly capturing his terrified expression as he scrambled to his feet. However, just as the caraman scrambled up, a long spear flew through the air and pierced his skull, killing him instantly. The wildn then dragged him away as if he were prey.
The sight was so horrifying it made Ye Fan feel nauseous. He now knew sothing was terribly wrong. If Alice had also been dragged away by these people, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that thought, Ye Fan quickly got to his feet and rushed toward the wildn’s lair. His heart was in his throat, as he had no way of knowing Alice’s current situation.
By dawn, Ye Fan finally arrived outside the cave where the wildn lived. There, he saw them preparing to go hunting. However, among the wildn, he spotted a normal human. The man had disheveled hair and a scraggly beard, and he was issuing orders to the group. The wildn seed remarkably obedient, following his commands without question. Ye Fan knew this man must be an evil Martial Artist, especially since he was holding a human skull.
Without a second thought, he appeared directly in front of the cave entrance, and the group of wildn imdiately surrounded him.
The man with the scraggly beard looked at Ye Fan and spoke, his voice dripping with contempt, "Another one who doesn’t fear death."
"Taming wildn here to endanger the outside world... your ambition is quite sothing," Ye Fan rebuked.
The disheveled man sneered, "That’s right. I am taming them, turning them into a powerful legion. Since you’ve intruded here, don’t even think about leaving alive!"
He then uttered a few words in the wildn’s language to the Wildman Commander. Imdiately, the throng of wildn grew enraged, roaring as they rushed toward Ye Fan with the clear intent to tear him apart.
At this mont, Ye Fan remained calm and asked, "What did you do to this person?"
He held up the agate bracelet.
"We ate her! HAHAHAHA!" the man with the terrifying face laughed wildly at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan, who had been perfectly calm just a mont ago, instantly erupted. He lost all reason, his entire being on the verge of a violent explosion.
He roared, "I will have you all buried with her!"
"Accompany her in death?" the man sneered. "You’re not worthy!"
A group of wildn charged. Ye Fan unleashed the full might of his Pure Yang Power, and with a single strike, dozens of them fell in heaps. The disheveled man was shocked. He hadn’t expected Ye Fan to be so powerful—a true expert. A level of strength like this was enough to drive anyone to despair. The man charged forward, a cloud of Black Fog billowing from his hand. As the Black Fog descended, Ye Fan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. Yet even through the haze, he struck his opponent with a single blow, sending him flying.
The remaining wildn scattered and fled in terror.
Now, only Ye Fan and the man remained. Ye Fan picked up a long spear, stood before him, and asked, "How do you want to die?"
The disheveled man felt the aura of death descend upon him. He realized that Ye Fan possessed the strength of a King—a level of power sufficient to instantly kill most Martial Artists.
He trembled and stamred, "You... you can’t kill !"
"Give
a reason not to," Ye Fan demanded.
"She’s not dead!" the man hastily blurted out.
