Chapter 721: Blue Mountain

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen successfully drew away the flying centipede, and it went back to chasing him through the forest .

Many trees were toppled in its rampage, and many of the forest's other creatures were promptly evicted . Those that could fly soared away in fright, whereas others fled as quickly as they could on foot . Every other creature in the forest seemed terrified of the centipede .

Han Sen opened his gene lock and used Dongxuan Sutra to simulate the Light Son of God's energy flow . It increased his speed by a good deal, but even then, it wasn't enough to gain a good lead on the foe that pursued him . All he could focus on doing was running at fast as he could and not slacking into the hungry mandibles that were chasing him .

This monster was incredibly powerful, and it was something the adiraid would surely struggle to beat . The adiraid wasn't weak, but the size between the two was not comparable . The blood centipede had a unique power that made it far stronger than the adiraid, too .

The adiraid could protect herself, but she couldn't stop the blood centipede; that was why Han Sen could only try to escape .

In this large, dense, and ancient forest, Han Sen ran as fast as his legs could carry him . He had been doing so for a while, and he had gradually lost all sense of direction . Han Sen thought about throwing the centipede's egg away, but he didn't want to .

Han Sen tried to let the little angel draw the attention of the centipede, but it was as if it had locked onto Han Sen, without a care for anything else .

The little angel swung her greatsword at the centipede many times, but the creature had countless wriggling legs that blocked each attempted attack . She couldn't get a hit in .

Han Sen kept running until there were no more trees to evade . After leaving the canopy of the forest behind, he found himself before the slopes of a grand mountain range . He had no idea where he had come to .

Han Sen had no other choice but to run headlong up the mountain . He circled one of the mountains and tried his hand at fighting the centipede for a bit .

Han Sen felt strange . When he was in the ancient forest, he had seen many creatures fleeing for their lives . But these mountains were barren, and not a single creature was around . After running the length of two mountains, he hadn't managed to see a single other creature . It was a dull, lifeless region, composed of grey crags . Few plants grew there, also .

Han Sen did not have the time to stop, poke about and ponder the area he had stumbled into, however . With his gene lock running, he was on a timer . He had been running for half a day, and he was already starting to feel exhausted . His body was in agony, and he feared if he kept going, his body might end up permanently damaged . But still, he couldn't afford to stop, and turning off the gene lock would remove his ability to simulate the Light Son of God's energy flow . This would result in his speed decreasing, and the chance of him not being able to outrun the centipede's crazed pursuit .

Han Sen gritted his teeth and took the centipede egg from his pocket, planning to throw it at the centipede so he could escape the area with life .

He turned around to take a look and noticed that the blood centipede was no longer directly behind him . In fact, the centipede was down near the foothills, merely crying out to Han Sen . It didn't come after him, as if it were afraid of something .

Han Sen was surprised, to say the least . He looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary . While the craggy mountains appeared nearly identical, during his run, he had drawn close to a mountain that was different than the others .

The mountains around the one he was on were grey and rocky . But the one he was on now was blue . The rocks there appeared to be metallic .

He wasn't sure what made this mountain so unique, but the scary centipede only roared and did not come up . Despite its desire for Han Sen's blood, all it did was twirl and writhe around, breaking the rocks that peppered the foothills .

Its power did not matter in the shadow of the blue mountain, it appeared .

Han Sen acknowledged something was wrong, and so he quickly cast dongxuan aura . Still, he did not notice the presence of anything strange around . There did not seem to be any life on this mountain .

Han Sen felt relieved, for he was at least out of danger for the time being . But he couldn't relax, for the radius of his dongxuan aura was limited and it did not reveal all that may have been there . Han Sen then raised his head to look up the mountain .

The mountain was massive, and its head rested above the clouds; he could not see what secrets its peak might have hidden . And as for the rest of the mountain, it was as barren as ever . It was entirely blue, and only metallic rocks resided there for decoration . There wasn't even a single blade of grass .

"What is that blood centipede afraid of? Even with its baby having been nicked, it doesn't dare set foot up here . Something has to be amiss with this place . . . " Han Sen looked up the mountain and could not see anything through the mist that cloaked the top .

Although Han Sen was curious about what may have been up there, he had respect for the proverb that concerned itself with feline mammals and the consequences of their curiosity . Therefore, he resolved to walk around to the other side of the mountain and descend that way, in an attempt to escape the centipede .

The red centipede still did not dare ascend the blue mountain, and it only stared at Han Sen . But wherever he went, the monster carefully followed him .

Han Sen gritted his teeth again and placed the centipede egg between the rocks of the blue mountain . Then, he went in another direction . He hoped the centipede would remain, showing concern for the egg more than the person who had stolen it .

But things did not turn out the way he expected . When the centipede saw its egg, it only enraged the centipede further . It still wouldn't ascend the blue mountain, and instead, it wriggled with greater ferocity as it traced Han Sen . Its exclamations were even louder, as well, and the pitch of the echo was heightened as its wretched voice carried across the mountain range .

The sound of rocks breaking continued under the jittery legs of the centipede as it traced the egg-thief . Big marks and clefts were left in each ravaged rock .

"This guy really wants me dead . " Han Sen's heart sank . He imagined the best he could do right now was use his little angel to take the egg and lead the monster away .

But just as Han Sen was willing to do this, he suddenly heard the sound of a bell toll from atop the mountain .

Dong!

The sound of an ancient bell rung from high above, echoing across the expanse of mountains . It caused the energy inside Han Sen to turn into chaos, and he quickly ran Dongxuan Sutra to quell his disturbed flow .

Dong!

When the bell rang again, a weird power caused the energy inside him to coil and swirl in turmoil once more .

Han Sen gritted his teeth and continued casting Dongxuan Sutra to soothe the restless energy and fight back against the mysterious tone of the bell .

The bell's sound was quite beautiful . It possessed a certain power that cast what seemed like a sonic wave, dispelling the mist and clouds that obscured the peak of the mountain . Like a curtain being pulled, the entirety of the blue mountain was then revealed .

There were six different bell tones in total, and Han Sen managed to hold on against their clanging . But later, it took him half an hour to fix the energy that had been disturbed inside him . Slowly, he opened his eyes .

The mist that veiled the peak was gone, and now, only wisps circled the mountain instead . You could see the clouds a thousand meters away from the mountainside, as there were no more clouds within or beyond the circle .

Han Sen looked at the blue mountain's peak and tried to see what was there . He was eager to learn where exactly the bell had tolled from .
