Because there are quite a few Nascent Soul level Great Demons residing there, having survived for thousands of years and accumulated imasurable strength. If you offend them, it could be troubleso.
Lu Ping listened intently, feeling sowhat apprehensive in his heart.
This journey into the Hundred Thousand Mountains was not as simple as he had imagined.
After the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle continued flying for a period, about the ti it takes to burn a stick of incense.
They arrived at the southeastern part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, where the terrain was still a vast range of mountains.
Between these mountains, a layer of white, hazy toxic miasma spread out, covering a large area like a sea of clouds, obscuring most of the scenery in the forests. Only the towering ancient trees and parts of the mountains erged from the miasma, visible above it.
Lu Ping’s eyes were bright, gazing through the layers of miasma to see the scenery within the forest.
The eye power of a Nascent Soul Cultivator is very strong, and these miasmas couldn’t obscure their vision at all.
Lu Ping’s gaze penetrated through the layers of miasma, revealing the situation within the forest.
Contrary to his imagination, it was not a forest of towering ancient trees, but rather appeared as jagged rocks and overlapping peaks.
One could see large swathes of lush green scenery, with various plants growing wild.
There were small streams flowing, mountain ridge valleys, plains, marshes, and waterfall cascades tumbling down the peaks, rushing toward the distance.
It looked like a fairyland here, with magnificent and beautiful scenery. Just looking at it made one feel joyful and want to hide from the world here. It could indeed be called a paradise.
However, this impression only ca at first glance.
Lu Ping observed carefully, and soon discovered that behind this beautiful scenery lurked dangers that could not be underestimated.
For example, in that swamp, he discovered over a dozen Tier Two Demon Beasts lurking, occasionally attacking animals drinking by the swamp or flying across it.
Also, on an ancient tree stood a Black-headed Owl, a type of Tier Four Demon Beast, its size could reach that of a person and it fed on brown bears, wild boars, etc.
Or under the vegetation, where so colorful and bizarre-looking poisonous insects were gathering and moving about.
The largest of these insects could be as big as a palm, and the smallest as small as a thumb, carrying deadly venom that even the demon beasts would avoid.
There existed a complete food chain here, and the Human Race would not be at the top of it. Instead, they would be preyed upon as food.
"I’m sure everyone has seen the scenery within the miasma, beware not to be deceived by these views, the dangers here are not as simple as what the eyes can see."
"Perhaps you’re not aware, but when I first entered this place, I was flying low over the Hundred Thousand Mountains and got attacked by a Tier Five Demon Beast..."
Zhang Tianqun spoke, recounting his initial troubles and the dangers he faced when he first ca here.
Indeed, that’s how it was.
When they had only traveled a few hundred miles, the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle was attacked.
A gigantic figure soared from a cliff below, its wings spreading to a size of a hundred feet, creating a demon wind sweeping towards them.
"A demon beast is attacking!"
Xu Dezhi shouted loudly, his gaze fixated on the demon beast.
Lu Ping and Jiuhua True Monarch, among others, noticed it at first glance and their expressions turned serious as they examined the form of the demon beast.
This demon beast looked like an old eagle, with its body entirely crimson red. Its splendid feathers shimred in the sunlight like clusters of burning flas.
However, unlike an eagle, it had a long feathered tail, over twenty feet long.
Its extended talon had six claws, and atop its head was a noticeable violet crystal crown.
"What kind of demon beast is this?"
Liu Taixuan raised his gaze, and despite his extensive knowledge and frequent perusal of ancient demon beast texts, he couldn’t identify the origin of this beast.
Nor could Zhang Tianqun and others recognize it.
With a bang.
This demon bird wielded its massive talon, striking the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle, producing a loud booming sound.
The power of this strike was comparable to a full-force attack from a Golden Core Cultivator.
However, even in front of the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle, the strike was firmly blocked by the protective light shield, leaving only a faint white claw mark on the light screen.
Unable to break through the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle on its first attempt, the demon bird soared higher, preparing for another dive attack.
"It’s the Six-Clawed Red Bright Eagle."
Void Celestial Sword Spirit’s voice ca out, recognizing the origin of this demon beast,
"This Six-Clawed Red Bright Eagle is known for its extrely fast speed. When it spreads its wings and flies at full speed, even Nascent Soul Cultivators can’t catch up with them."
"Look at its pair of talons, their hardness and strength can easily break through Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts."
"The Innate Divine Power Red Fire it harnesses has unexpected restraining effects against Evil Demon Cultivators, and so Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs would ta these Six-Clawed Red Bright Eagles as Spirit Beasts."
Void Celestial Sword Spirit explained, and after hearing this, Lu Ping couldn’t help but regard the Six-Clawed Red Bright Eagle with newfound respect.
Being praised by Void Celestial Sword Spirit like this shows that this demon bird is indeed extraordinary.
With a splash.
The Six-Clawed Red Bright Eagle launched another attack, stirring up a massive gust of wind.
From its mouth spewed out streams of hissing Red Bright Fire, surging and sweeping towards the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle.
Fortunately, the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle was a Tier Six Spiritual Artifact, featuring high speed and strong defense.
Obviously, Zhang Tianqun had no intention of entangling with this demon beast and urged the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle to speed up.
The blazing flas blanketed the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle, but were completely blocked, isolating the heat.
The Heaven-Reaching Shuttle’s speed surged, causing Lu Ping and the others to feel a distinct thrust.
In the following period, the Six-Clawed Red Bright Eagle pursued over a dozen tis, its speed incredibly fast.
If it were an ordinary Flying Spiritual Artifact, it surely couldn’t shake off this demon bird.
After the Six-Clawed Red Bright Eagle let out a cry and finally gave up its attack, flying away into a vast valley where it vanished without a trace.
Just setting foot in the realm of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they were attacked by such a demon bird, making Lu Ping and the others even more vigilant.
Without the protection of the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle, it wouldn’t be so easy to fend off demon beast attacks. They would have to drive them away or eliminate them, which would undoubtedly be ti-consuming and laborious.
Next, they traveled over five hundred more miles, encountering six attacks by demon beasts along the way. Each attack shouldn’t be underestimated, as they were all launched by demon beasts of Tier Two and above.
Once, they were even attacked by a flock of Void Demon Birds.
Such demon beasts were not uncommon in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
When they entered a vast lake area, the speed of the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle gradually slowed down, and Zhang Tianqun’s voice also rang out.
"Alright, we are now close to the Ancient Ruins. Judging from the landmarks we’ve explored along this way, this should be the right place."
"Everyone, let’s proceed directly to the ruins."
