Chereads / Emperor of Desolation / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Mountain Forest Uprising

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Mountain Forest Uprising

A group of people rushed hurriedly towards the depths of the mountains. The suanni's lifespan was exhausted and it had died, meaning that its true blood and precious bones would all become ownerless treasures. How could this not be exciting?

"Quick, our speed is too slow!" Shi Linhu and others were anxious, fearing that if they were late, others would get there first.

One majestic peak followed another, and the forest was endless. Some of the thick ancient trees were astonishing. Their canopies reached into the sky, over a thousand meters high, taller than some mountains, blocking out the sky and the sun. As for some vines, no one knew how many years they had grown. Even several adults couldn't encircle them. They grew around the mountains, as vigorous as coiled dragons.

The people of Shi Village ran all the way and approached the place where the suanni died. They felt a terrifying aura, which was very oppressive. It was caused by the death of the king of beasts.

"How quiet!" They sensed the anomaly. It was too quiet here, without a single sound, like a land of death.

There wasn't even a single bird here, let alone beasts. Even ants and insects had hidden in their holes and refused to come out. The forest was desolate and silent, deathly quiet.

"Before its death, the suanni killed many fierce beasts and disturbed the wild. All the birds and beasts here have fled." Shi Linhu said.

"No!" Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng suddenly felt frightened and then said urgently, "Lin Hu, don't rush. How rare and precious the suanni's remains are. I think not only do we want to obtain them, but also some fierce beasts are eyeing them. Let's retreat quickly and not strike first."

He felt waves of dangerous auras. It seemed that some ancient monstrous beasts were coming from afar in the dark, their gazes cold, staring at this area. The old clan chief's spine turned cold and he ordered the clansmen to retreat.

The little one had the same feeling. His hair stood on end and he clenched his small fists. Shi Hao also expressed his feelings.

The people rushed towards the outer area quickly and did not approach the collapsed stone mountain.

"Just giving up like this is really uncomfortable!" Shi Feijiao pounded his chest, feeling extremely frustrated.

"Don't rush first. Wait for an opportunity. Human lives are the most important. Even if the suanni's true blood is astonishing and the precious technique it leaves behind defies the heavens, one must have a life to obtain it." Shi Yunfeng said seriously.

They came quickly and left quickly. They climbed a high mountain, looked from afar, and closely watched the situation there.

There were scattered figures. There were shouts in that forest. Three groups of people came from three directions respectively, belonging to different villages. Their target was the same, rushing towards the collapsed stone mountain to dig out the suanni's corpse.

"Sure enough, not only our clan learned that this ancient remnant species, the suanni, was about to die of old age. People living near this wild also paid attention to it."

The three groups of people confronted each other and then, unsurprisingly, had a conflict. There were shouts of killing in the forest.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, five fierce beasts appeared one after another. Each one was as big as a house, revealing snow-white fangs, and pounced towards that group of people, also wanting to fight for the suanni's corpse.

At the same time, there were long cries from the sky. A strong wind blew and several fierce birds flew over. Each one was five or six meters long. Their wings spread out to be eleven or twelve meters. They dove down and immediately tore six or seven people apart. Blood was everywhere.

This bloody scene, not to mention those who experienced it on the spot, even the people of Shi Village who were watching from afar felt their hair stand on end. The fierce birds and beasts had returned. This was a disaster!

"Roar!"

Sure enough, the roars of beasts rose and fell in the mountains one after another. The fierce beasts and birds that were scared away by the suanni earlier had all returned. At this time, they wanted to seize its corpse to make themselves stronger.

Not only in this forest, but also in the distant mountains, all the powerful creatures had set out. For a moment, the cries of birds and beasts rose and fell one after another. The entire mountain range boiled.

The group of beasts rioted. From dozens of meters to a few feet, in the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of them. They were all powerful species. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to charge. They rushed over like a flood, roaring wildly.

The same was true in the sky. All kinds of birds flew, with iron beaks and sharp claws, covering the sky, seemingly crazy as they charged towards this mountain area. Feathers and scales flew everywhere.

"Run!"

The people from the three villages left over forty corpses and all jumped into a river to escape by water. Otherwise, not a single person would be left.

On the mountain peak, the people of Shi Village, who were watching from afar, turned pale. They had also thought that there might be fierce beasts coming to fight for the corpse of the suanni king, but they never thought there would be so many.

"Ah..."

Those who escaped into the waterway and thought they were safe suddenly screamed. There were dozens of meters long snakes rolling, opening their blood basins and swallowing four or five people in one bite.

"Crunch!"

On the other side, a golden crocodile over ten meters long emerged, opened its huge mouth like a dustpan, and immediately bit and held five or six people. Fresh blood flowed and overflowed along its white, sharp teeth, staining the river red.

This kind of scene made people feel cold in their bones. The survivors fled desperately and didn't dare to stop for a moment.

"How terrifying. Fortunately, we retreated temporarily. Otherwise, we would probably have the same fate as them." Shi Linhu felt a sense of fear and found that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

"It seems that the suanni's body is even more precious than we imagined. Otherwise, how could the group of beasts and birds fight so desperately." Shi Feijiao said.

In front of the collapsed stone mountain, there were hundreds of fierce beasts and birds, all frantically charging, wanting to dig up the pieces of huge stones and dig out the precious body of the suanni. They were also fighting among themselves. The bloody smell was pungent and all kinds of roars were deafening!

"There are too many fierce beasts. It's not safe here for us either. Maybe we will be affected!" An elder of the clan said.

"Roar..."

Just as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew on the mountain. Two huge creatures appeared together. Each one was seven or eight meters long, with brown fluffy hair. Their bodies were like tigers and they looked fierce and cruel. They had wings on their ribs.

They were actually terrifying leopards, and two of them came at once!

Leopards were disliked by tigresses because of their strange appearance and were not breastfed. They were abandoned and almost impossible to survive. If they didn't starve to death, they would be eaten by mountain beasts. If by chance any survived and grew up, they would be so fierce that they would shock the forest and devour all kinds of fierce beasts.

At present, the appearance of two leopards at the same time was truly astonishing. They were far more fierce than ordinary fierce beasts and difficult to deal with.

With a whoosh, a strong wind blew. One huge leopard moved, dived down, opened its blood basin and immediately bit two villagers. With a crunch, the lower half of one person fell down. Blood gushed out wildly, a tragic sight.

"Shi Lin!"

"A Yun!"

There were several tragic roars from the villagers. Iron arrows rained down and shot forward.

This was too sudden. The fierce leopard could fly and was seven or eight meters long. The sudden appearance of such a huge creature was naturally hard to defend against, immediately causing a bloody massacre.

"Brute!"

Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao roared. Both of them swung their broad swords and charged forward, leading a group of the strongest men to attack the fierce leopard.

Although this kind of creature did not form the original precious rune on its bones, its physical body was extremely strong and equally terrifying. Its killing power was astonishing. When hunting on ordinary days, the villagers tried their best to avoid encountering them.

"Roar..."

The other leopard roared and pounced forward from the other side. With a wave of its paw, cold light flashed, making a clanging sound and sparks flew. It knocked all the broad swords and big sticks in the hands of the clansmen away.

"Puff"

Two of them were a little slower to dodge and were immediately disemboweled. Fresh blood flowed all over the ground, suffering unimaginable serious injuries. They were pulled to the rear by the villagers.

"Big cat, give back the lives of my Uncle A Yun and them!" Shi Hao was anxious and rushed forward. Runes flashed on his arms like stars lighting up. Between his palms, light spots appeared and then a silver moon emerged.

This moon was very real, like the divine moon in the ninth heaven falling down. Holy light spots scattered and quickly rushed towards a fierce leopard.

"Clang"

The fierce leopard waved its huge paw like a dustpan. Cold light flashed and hit the silver moon, making a metallic tremor that shook this mountain peak.

You should know that this silver moon could split huge stones and had infinite power. But at this moment, the leopard actually resisted it with its sharp claws.

After a short stalemate, with a puff, this fierce leopard let out a earth-shattering roar. One of its paws finally broke off. Blood gushed out, staining the ground.

At the same time, the silver moon's momentum did not decrease. With a puff, it chopped on its head, immediately splitting a large crack. A terrifying wound spurted blood outward.

The beast roared, shaking the forest. This fierce leopard shook violently. With unwillingness, the fierce light in its eyes gradually dimmed. With a crash, it fell into a pool of blood.

This was the precious technique of the green-scale eagle clan. Its attacking power was astonishing. With one strike from Shi Hao, he immediately killed a terrifying fierce leopard.

"Well done, little one. Do it again!" Shi Feijiao shouted.

Shi Hao turned around and charged towards the other leopard. Light shone again in his palm. This precious technique that was not passed on to outsiders once again showed its fierce power. The silver moon swept across. Blood splashed from the neck of the seven or eight meters long huge leopard. With a turn of the silver light, its head was directly cut off and fell to the ground with a thud.

The beast's blood gushed out like a small river, splashing many villagers all over.

"How terrifying the precious technique is!"

This kind of attacking method was truly awe-inspiring.

After killing the two fierce leopards, the little one was a little stunned. This was the first time he had killed fierce beasts in the forest. Looking down at his tender and white little hands, he couldn't speak for a long time.

"It's okay, child. Don't think it's bloody. Who among the men growing up in the wild doesn't have blood on them? It's all like this!" Shi Linhu came over and patted his shoulder.

Shi Hao nodded vigorously. Although his heart was very disturbed, at this moment, he closed his mouth tightly and didn't say much. If he didn't kill the fierce leopards just now, many clansmen would have died.

"The precious technique is really powerful. It can kill fierce beasts and also save people. It would be great if we could obtain the original rune of the suanni." After a long time, the little one murmured softly.

There was a long cry in the clouds. The green-scale eagle appeared and dived down, bringing a strong wind.

The little one jumped up, waved his hand vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Aunt Green-Scale Eagle, carry me up. You are the overlord of the outer area of the forest and I can also help. Let's go and fight for the precious body of the suanni."
