During the Sanjiang period, I hope my fellow readers will give me a lot of support. I am deeply grateful. At this time, recommendations and collections are extremely important, as well as the Sanjiang votes. If you can help, please vote for me! Thank you!
As time passed, the temperature outside gradually warmed, and the snow began to melt layer by layer, forming streams that surged down the mountains! Most of the snow on this mountain had melted, revealing a black, barren peak, which looked very strange compared to the snow-white peaks nearby!
Large areas of plants began to revive, sprouting and budding at a dizzying speed, absorbing endless snow water and growing wildly!
Life began to flourish once again!
This vast forest welcomed a new burst of vitality! Nature began to revive! But how long would this last?
The strange beasts began to retreat from their dominant positions in this forest, especially the ice-type strange beasts, which disappeared without a trace, hiding who knows where.
The dense forest began to be reoccupied by ordinary abyssal animals. However, strangely, the abyssal creatures and demons that had been hiding for months were almost nowhere to be seen!
Where had they all gone?
A sense of impending danger forced Erdong Sheng to speed up his departure! This vast place began to become eerie, making it impossible for him to see through it, with a chilling cold permeating everywhere!
"I can't stay any longer! It's time to go!"
...
Erdong Sheng was a man of action. Since he decided to leave, he prepared quickly and efficiently!
He had been preparing for a long-distance migration for a long time, gathering many useful materials! Even some strange things were included in his collection!
However, no matter what, the goal and destination were the most important things. Since he had decided to leave, the first problem he faced was where to go, that is, where the destination was. It was impossible to move blindly, as that would only plunge him into great danger!
Erdong Sheng had a rough map of the area in his mind, partly from his own exploration and partly from the camp's collection!
Although it was not very accurate or complete, it could serve as a general reference.
It was better than nothing.
First, the east was absolutely out of the question. The Land of Death was there, with its many strange things, mutated animals, bizarre poisonous insects, and even more bizarre Death Volcanoes. There were too many troubles, and it was best to avoid that area! Moving with a family was different from exploring alone!
Moreover, the size of the Land of Death was unknown. If they got trapped in it, they would be in deep trouble! At that time, they would know what it meant to call for help and receive none!
East is out!
What about the north?
To the north of the forest was an endless grassland, close to the trading camp, which seemed like a good option!
However, Erdong Sheng had his concerns. The grassland was the territory of the half-elves, who were extremely hostile to demons! These half-sunlight plane, half-abyssal beings had a strong enmity towards any non-elf species, were exceptionally united, and exceptionally powerful! They were notoriously difficult to deal with in the abyss!
Moreover, the proximity to the trading camp was another disadvantage!
This option was temporarily ruled out, leaving only the south and the west!
To the south of the forest was where Erdong Sheng lived. If he continued south from his residence, he would reach a barren wasteland of rocks and sand, which was very desolate and lacked resources. Further in, it would likely be a desert. Erdong Sheng would absolutely not choose the south. This was even worse than the east, with no resources or food. Was he supposed to eat sand?
The first consideration for the new location after the migration was the food and accommodation problem. If this issue couldn't be resolved, it was better not to migrate at all!
The only option left was the west! The other side of this vast mountain range!
This was the place Erdong Sheng favored the most, because a legend had always circulated in this forest. On the other side of this vast mountain range, there was a more vast world, with numerous great demon nations, numerous demon capitals inhabited by legendary demons, and even demon lords. It was even more vast and beautiful, with an abundance of food, complete knowledge inheritance, and methods to reach the sunlight plane!
On the other side of the mountain, great demons were common. As long as you wanted to, reaching the level of a great demon was no longer a dream! It was like the China described by Marco Polo in ancient times, a land full of hope and endless treasures!
So, over the past few years, Erdong Sheng had always felt that he was just bouncing around in a newbie camp. Although he had become the king of this place, what was the point? This was just a small area. Did he really want to spend his entire life here?
No, it was impossible! Erdong Sheng did not want to live a life of obscurity and die in some accident! He yearned to live a life of grandeur, hoping that one day his name would strike fear into the vast abyss and even the myriad planes! He wanted the name Baal to echo through the stars!
Although the journey might be fraught with danger, only by venturing out could he experience the unknown splendor. Deep down, he was very eager to explore that more vast abyssal world!
He did not want to be a frog at the bottom of a well. He wanted to jump out and see the sky he had never seen before!
This place was not meant for him to stay long! Even if he didn't leave now, he would eventually choose to set out on this journey again. The forest was no longer safe, and it was better to leave early rather than face those strange things.
When in doubt, act decisively! It was time to leave. That beautiful, vast, and enchanting world was waiting for him to explore.
However, would it really be so wonderful? Would it be as he imagined? Only heaven knew!
...
No matter what, since he had decided to head west, he had to act immediately! Time was running out! The Death Volcano was once again spewing rolling black smoke, having accumulated energy throughout the cold winter, and was about to erupt completely.
But how to go? Could they just hike over the towering mountains? Was it possible? Was it realistic?
Erdong Sheng would tell you that it was impossible. If it were that simple, the scenery on the other side of the mountains would not have remained a legend for thousands of years. Over the millennia, countless demons had explored that side, including third-tier demons, but none of them returned. They either died on the journey or truly entered that vast world and never returned!
No matter what, the dangers were indescribable! The countless difficulties and obstacles in the mountains, the abyssal strange beasts, poisonous insects, and strange trees, were all major problems! Even more challenging were the towering mountains, one after another, reaching into the clouds. Which demon could cross them on foot? It was impossible to cross this natural barrier on foot, even if you were a great demon! Not to mention with a family in tow!
So, what to do?
