Chapter 93

As the sun rose, the entire dock gradually became bustling with activity. Merchants traveling north and south, portly ship owners, and fierce-looking guards armed with weapons moved about the dock without cease.

The richer a person was, the more they feared harm from others. Thus, the wealthy were always accompanied by intimidating bodyguards.

People came and went on the dock. After a night of rest, everyone displayed a vibrant energy in the early morning.

The people of the Houtu Caravan also began to get busy. On the ship, green-robed guards hurriedly moved about. About half an hour later, the Houtu Caravan's ships, along with others docked at the pier, gradually set sail, heading south with the wind and current.

Gu Fei had already set out. He wasn't worried that the Houtu Caravan's ships would disappear right under his nose. He traveled alone, following the river downstream, and wherever the mountains were steep and the forests dense, he went there.

For two consecutive days, whenever the Houtu Caravan docked at a riverside pier in the evening, Gu Fei would enter the mountains to search for and battle strange beasts.

Indeed, he encountered several strange beasts in the mountains along the river and engaged in several fierce battles.

"Tonight should be the last night." On a mountain peak, Gu Fei stood at the summit, gazing southward. Under the starry sky, a great river flowed through the endless primeval forest.

The terrain was flat, with no more high mountains or ridges. Although Gu Fei hadn't interacted with the Houtu Caravan's people for the past two days, he had overheard conversations on the ship. It would take just one more day for the fleet to leave the Yunmeng Mountains, and by tomorrow evening, they would reach Qingshi Town.

It must be said that the Tenglong Continent was truly vast and boundless. Qingshi Town was only on the outskirts of the Southern Wasteland. To reach the Southern Wasteland's Dragon Emperor City, one had to travel another thousand miles.

Even the Dragon Emperor City of the Southern Wasteland was not the center of the Southern Wasteland. The true center was the Ten Thousand Mountains, a truly endless and wild land.

The Ten Thousand Mountains were full of mystery and unknown dangers. It was said that ancient beasts had been seen in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Even great cultivators at the Void Realm were unwilling to easily step into this area.

"The Ten Thousand Mountains, the Xutian Realm, the opening of the Xutian Realm is less than a month away!" Gu Fei couldn't help but frown. He had lost contact with his fellow sect members and hoped to reach the Dragon Emperor City as soon as possible to reunite with them.

The people from the three major Dao Sects were to meet in the Dragon Emperor City and then enter the Ten Thousand Mountains together. With less than a month left, he should be able to reach the Dragon Emperor City without any unexpected delays.

"Roar!" At that moment, a fierce roar suddenly echoed from deep within the mountains. The depths of the mountains immediately stirred, and countless night birds took to the sky, fleeing in panic from the mountains ahead.

Various wild beasts also fled from the mountains, and among the fleeing herds were several massive creatures—several elephants over six to seven meters tall.

The beasts stampeded, trampling the ground, creating a rumbling sound like distant thunder.

Gu Fei's eyes were sharp. Standing on the mountain peak, he had seen everything. He already knew that deep within the distant mountains, there was a strange beast, a powerful and extremely strong strange beast.

Powerful strange beasts had a common characteristic: their presence left a trail of violent, fierce, and brutal energy, causing all the beasts to tremble in fear.

Once such a fierce beast unleashed its power, it would wreak havoc in all directions, causing the beasts to flee in terror.

"Hmph! I dare not challenge the beast deep in the Yunmeng Mountains, but this fierce beast..." A fierce and sharp light flashed in Gu Fei's eyes, and then he leaped down the mountain.

The distance of several dozen miles seemed short under Gu Fei's feet. He quickly appeared outside the mountain range. Ahead, a rumbling sound came from the depths of the mountains, the ground trembled, and a herd of dozens of fierce beasts rushed out in panic.

Gu Fei smiled and charged forward. "Whoosh!" He rushed into the herd of beasts like a whirlwind.

"Roar!" A fierce tiger pounced with its fangs bared, but it was only a foot away from Gu Fei when a powerful force sent it flying into the nearby forest.

"Bang, bang, bang..." At that moment, an elephant, like a moving small mountain, charged towards Gu Fei. The wind from its charge blew in his face, and its legs, like huge tree trunks, left deep footprints with each step.

"Move!" Gu Fei waved his right palm, and a powerful palm force surged out, sweeping towards the charging elephant. "Boom!" The elephant let out a long cry and was flipped over by Gu Fei's palm. Its massive body rolled to the side, and one of its several-meter-long tusks broke off, crushing many other beasts nearby.

The herd of beasts immediately fell into chaos, and the beasts roared and scattered in all directions. Gu Fei, the cause of all this, paid no attention and rushed through the herd like a whirlwind, causing the beasts to scatter in all directions as he charged into the depths of the mountains.

On a large rock in the mountains, a shocking scene was unfolding. A massive humanoid monster was roaring at the moon. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"... The monster, over six to seven meters tall, was pounding its chest, like the sound of war drums.

This was a raging ape, a beast emitting boundless ferocity. Its massive body, light yellow fur, and fierce head with blood-red eyes were all terrifying.

"Roar!" The raging ape let out a fierce roar, shaking the surrounding mountains and forests, causing all the beasts to wail in fear. The depths of the mountains fell into chaos once again.

"Hehe, good, indeed a worthy opponent." A white figure emerged from the forest, taking ten steps in one stride, and in a blink, he was close.

"Roar!" Seeing someone intrude into its territory, the raging ape on the rock immediately turned its fierce head, its blood-red eyes filled with boundless ferocity, staring fiercely at the uninvited guest.

"Big guy, come on! Let's have a match!" The newcomer was Gu Fei. He walked straight to the front of the rock, looking at the mountain-sized raging ape on it, and said casually.

"Roar!" Whether the raging ape understood Gu Fei's words or not, it let out a fierce roar, leaped off the rock, and pounced at Gu Fei. Its massive claws extended, and with a "clang," five black claws, each over a foot long, shot out from its palm, aiming directly at Gu Fei's head.

The massive palm, like a mountain, stirred up a fierce wind, making Gu Fei feel suffocated. The claws, like swords, left five streaks of black light in the air, their sharpness making Gu Fei feel as if he were facing five extremely sharp blades.

"Good!" Gu Fei let out a light shout, spread his feet, and sank his body. With a "crack," the rock under his feet immediately shattered.

Sinking into a horse stance, Gu Fei punched directly upward, meeting the descending massive claw. The strength from his legs, waist, and arms converged on his right fist. With a "boom," the air exploded, and a powerful punch force surged out, colliding fiercely with the raging ape's massive claw.
