After reaching the foot of the mountain, everyone realized that the Flying Dragon Mountain Range was even more majestic than what they had seen before. From the bottom looking up, the peak couldn't be seen at all, with a large part of it hidden in clouds and fog. What surprised everyone was that there was no snow on the top of the mountain; it appeared as if there were still patches of vegetation scattered around.
As for what kind of vegetation it was, they couldn't see clearly, not even Ye Feng with his exceptional Vision Strength.
This Flying Dragon Mountain Range had a total of five huge peaks, which looked roughly like the head and four claws of a flying dragon, with smaller mountains clustered and extending for thousands of miles.
However, soone soon cried out in surprise, pointing ahead and saying, "Everyone, look quickly, what is that over there?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze and saw a huge pit ahead, almost as big as a soccer field, shocking everyone because the pit seed to be a giant footprint.
"Could it be that this pit is a footprint left by so monstrous beast?" a team mber exclaid.
At this mont, even Ye Feng's brows couldn't help but furrow. As everyone saw, this pit, which was nearly the size of a soccer field, was indeed the footprint of a monstrous beast. With a single step, it had crushed even half of a mountain peak.
One could imagine how massive and terrifying the beast must have been, and how overpowering its strength. Even the Great Powers on the Golden Core Great Dao would probably not be able to exert such force.
Ye Feng's expression beca slightly solemn. Truth be told, even he could not muster such fearso strength. Thus, it seed the monsters hidden within the Outer Battlefield were far from as simple as they appeared on the surface. The deep blue creature everyone saw at the blue lake previously was nothing compared to the monster that made this footprint.
Suddenly soone exclaid again, "Look there everyone, quickly, look at that mountain range. It's just too terrifying, as if it's been sheared off flat. That must have been the work of so peerless power using an Immortal Sword to slash off that peak!"
Upon seeing this, everyone was shocked again, and it was only at this mont that they realized that not only were there monstrous beasts in the Outer Battlefield, but there were also mbers of the Human Race, equally formidable.
Ye Feng suddenly shouted, "Everyone must be careful. This Flying Dragon Mountain Range is probably not simple, and we mustn't move around recklessly. If one were to get lost deep inside the mountains, it's likely that no one could save them!"
Everyone nodded in agreent, already stunned by the shock, not daring to move around carelessly.
"Let's go, move along the foot of the mountain towards the dragon's tail!" Ye Feng commanded with a wave of his hand. Originally, he had planned to leap onto one of the peaks to take a look, as there might be Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures hidden on the summit, but it now seed better not to take the risk.
Accordingly, the group changed direction and proceeded slowly along the foot of the mountain. At this point, everyone was even afraid to speak too loudly for fear of disturbing the creatures deep within the mountains, which would certainly be dangerous.
After all, the entire mountain range was vast and lush, with occasional beast roars coming from within, indicating the presence of powerful creatures deep inside.
It took the group about half a day to finally reach the tail of the dragon, where suddenly they heard sounds of fighting coming from the end of the Flying Dragon Mountain Range.
"Master, there seems to be sothing amiss inside. Should we go in and check?" Xiao Chuanqi suggested.
Ye Feng furrowed his brows. In fact, the sounds of battle were not far away, located within a deep peak at the end of the range, accessible just by climbing up.
Ye Feng pondered for a mont before turning to look at the others and saying, "You all saw the situation earlier. There are definitely powerful creatures hidden deep within the Flying Dragon Mountain Range, and their strength is absolutely not low. Going in would certainly be dangerous, so I won't force anyone to join ."
"Those who don't want to go inside can stay here and wait for us to co out!" After speaking, Ye Feng started to climb, with Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, Leng Wuming, Shadow, and Cao Tian imdiately following him. Naturally, these individuals were intent on keeping pace with Ye Feng.
In addition, about a dozen team mbers also followed them up, for everyone had entered the Outer Battlefield to gain experience in the first place. If they hesitated in the face of danger, what was the point of coming? Such setbacks could be detrintal to the Heart of Martial Dao, and should not be underestimated. These setbacks, if accumulated, could affect one's State of Mind, which becos even more critical at higher Realms.
"Brother Li, should we also follow them up?" the young mber of the Duan Family asked. At the mont, there were five people remaining, most of whom were disciples of Sect Leaders from the Utility Pavilion. It was obvious that these individuals were now looking to Li Benzhong for guidance.
Li Benzhong, having observed Ye Feng's retreating figure, contemplated for a long while before saying, "Judging from the sounds of fighting, there appears to be a dispute inside. There must be so Treasure unearthed to cause such a conflict; this is an opportunity we cannot miss. Besides, if that Ye fellow dares to go up, what do we have to fear?"
The young man from the Duan Family said, "Alright, if Lord Li is going in, then we will comply with your command."
The other team mbers also chid in, "We will follow Lord Li's arrangents, and we hope that when we get to Xuanyuan Hall, Lord Li will also take care of us."
"Of course, let's hurry up, or else it might be too late to get anything," Li Benzhong said, promptly setting off after Ye Feng, with the other four closely on his heels.
anwhile, Ye Feng had already reached the mountainside, and of course, at this point, he had to cease his cultivation.
Xiao Chuan leaned over and whispered, "Master, that Li Benzhong is still stirring up trouble, what about those other four people?"
Ye Feng smiled lightly and said, "Never mind, they're just trivial characters, not worth ntioning."
Xiao Chuanqi nodded slightly and then followed with a smile, "That's right, these people still think they can cling to the coattails of Li Benzhong's great-uncle. Given their behavior, whether they can live to return to Xuanyuan Nation is still up in the air."
As they were talking, the two of them had already taken the lead and swept up to the summit, followed by Sima Zhantian and the other team mbers who caught up one after another. Due to the heavy gravity in the Outer Battlefield, just climbing up this peak had already seed to strain many of them, since it's difficult to restore Qi Force in such an area, and they needed to consu a lot of ti gradually for breath regulation and recovery.
Standing at the top of the mountain and looking forward, there was a huge valley ahead, lush and green, where surprisingly many people were fighting fiercely against each other below.
"Your majesty, those are people from the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts!" Xiao Chuanqi cried out in surprise.
Ye Feng nodded slightly. In fact, he had already sensed them with his spiritual power halfway up the mountain; he just didn't expect to encounter the team of twenty from the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts here. And those fighting against the Sects of Ancient Martial Arts were from the Western Vampire Clan.
While Xuanyuan Nation and the Western Vampire Clan weren't sworn enemies, unlike the situation with Fusang where any encounter would surely lead to a fight to the death, the fierce battle erupting at this mont was solely over a white rock in the valley, about the size of a small washbowl.
"Hmm, sothing's not right, that's not a rock!" Suddenly using his spiritual power to sense more deeply, Ye Feng's expression changed dramatically as he noticed a sign of life pulsing within the white rock in the valley.
"Turns out, it's an egg, a huge one at that!" Ye Feng was shocked. With that in view, it must be an egg laid by so monster, no wonder the Ancient Martial Arts Sects and the Vampire Clan were fighting so fiercely over it.
At that mont, Li Benzhong and others had also reached the top. After looking around, Li Benzhong couldn't help but laugh, "How stupid are the Nine Great Sects and the Vampire Clan, fighting over a rock. Have their brains turned to water?"
Ye Feng couldn't help but snicker silently upon hearing this, thinking to himself that the stupid one was you, they are not so foolish.
Xiao Chuanqi said in a low voice, "Your majesty, they wouldn't possibly fight so fiercely over an ordinary rock, could it be that the rock is peculiar, a treasure perhaps?"
Ye Feng replied with a faint smile, "Of course, that's no rock."
Xiao Chuanqi inquired, "Not a rock? Then what is it?"
Ye Feng shook his head, "I can't tell you now, you'll know soon enough."
It was indeed strange that during the intense struggle between both sides, the rock was being thrown back and forth, even falling to the ground several tis, yet it showed no signs of breaking. Seeing this, Ye Feng inwardly exclaid, "This egg is really tough!"
Shadow stepped forward and asked, "Your majesty, it looks like the forces from the Nine Great Sects aren't a match for the Vampire Clan. If it goes on like this, those twenty or so from the Ancient Martial Arts Sects will probably all be killed, shall we intervene?"
Upon hearing this, Li Benzhong imdiately said in a cold voice, "Are you an idiot? Interfering now, of course, we need to wait and see, just like last ti at the Blue Lake. We let both sides wear each other down first then we can take advantage of the situation when we make a move. Besides, what's so good about grabbing a rock?"
"Li Benzhong, you'd better shut your damn mouth!" Ye Feng suddenly erupted in anger, unable to believe how heartless and cold-blooded this guy could be.
The situation at the Blue Lake before could hardly be the sa as now. Regardless, the Nine Great Sects were compatriots from his own nation, which completely differed from those Onmyoji like Su Sang; if one didn't encounter such a situation it would be fine, but upon encountering it, how could one stand by and watch them die? At least Ye Feng couldn't!
Just then, the mbers of the Nine Great Sects noticed the people on the summit and soone shouted, "Those above, if it's Xuanyuan Nation's Ye Feng and others, please co to our rescue quickly!"
Without a second word, Ye Feng imdiately surged forward, rushing down with Xiao Chuanqi and the others right behind him.
Li Benzhong, who had not dared to retort to his face just now, gnashed his teeth in anger and cursed, "Damn it, acting like such a good Samaritan, anyone would rush to the rescue, thinking he's invincible, damn fool, all for a worthless stone!"
The Duan Family young man asked, "So Lord Li, should we go down too?"
"Go down for what?" Li Benzhong imdiately exploded in anger, cursing, "Have you got water in your brain too? Let that Ye brat save them if he wants, why should we follow suit? After all, once the people are saved, the Nine Great Sects folks will only thank him, not us."
The Duan Family young man imdiately nodded, "Right, Lord Li is correct, we can't be so foolish and do such thankless tasks."
"Isn't that the truth!" Li Benzhong curled his lips, simply sat down, and snorted coldly, "It's just a damned rock, I'm not foolish enough to intervene. We'll just wait here and enjoy the show."
The remaining four mbers of the team, feeling the sa, all sat down as well.
anwhile, Ye Feng had already swooped down. With a punch, the Emperor's Divine Dragon Fist was unleashed with peerless might, and several vampires were imdiately blown away.
It was then that Ye Feng realized, those vampires didn't seem to be from the Vampire Divine Court but were like them, newcors who had just entered the Outer Battlefield, and were not very powerful.
