Chapter 292: Strange Cold Pond
Wang Yufan and Little Zhuge didn’t hesitate at all and directly entered this mountain, but what they didn’t notice was that a weathered stone tablet stood in the middle of some weeds a hundred meters away from them.
It read: "This is a dangerous mountain. Those whose strength has not reached the Yuankun Realm, please do not enter. Be extremely careful."
About a hundred breaths after Wang Yufan and the two left, the Nine-tailed Fox, now a Seven-tailed Fox, arrived. When she came before this great mountain, she felt a strong power emanating from deep within it, and that power was several realms stronger than the power she currently possessed.
The Nine-tailed Fox stood still, pondering. In the end, she still decided it was best to go inside and kill those two humans. As a being whose true strength was at the Yuanzu Realm, she didn’t believe that whatever was inside wouldn’t respect her.
Thinking this, the Nine-tailed Fox directly rushed into this mountain range, which stretched for a hundred miles.
At the same time, Wang Yufan and Little Zhuge were still shuttling through this great mountain. Although their strengths appeared to be at the True Immortal Realm and Divine Emperor Realm, in the Primordial Spirit Realm, the skills that could be used in previous planes were completely ineffective here.
"Little White Face, do you think that fox can catch up to us if we keep running like this?" Little Zhuge asked.
Wang Yufan said irritably, "Didn’t you sense it just now? That Nine-tailed Fox has already caught up. It just seems to have stopped at the entrance for a while, I don’t know what it’s thinking. Could it be that there’s something in this mountain that it’s wary of?"
Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Little Zhuge sniffed and said, "It’s better you didn’t say anything, but now that you mention it, I feel a chilling aura emanating from this place. We should still be on the outskirts of this mountain. If that Nine-tailed Fox catches up, won’t we be unable to escape?"
Wang Yufan looked at the surrounding environment and nodded slightly. Although his current realm was suppressed at the True Immortal Realm, as long as his strength recovered to the Eternal Realm, he could directly break through to the Primal Spirit Realm or even stronger. This was because he had stayed in the Eternal Realm for too long. With this accumulation of time, if it weren’t for the fact that a certain world couldn’t withstand a breakthrough to the Primal Spirit Realm, he would have already crossed that threshold.
As the two delved deeper, they also felt the Nine-tailed Fox getting closer and closer, and the chilling aura emanating from ahead continuously grew stronger.
"Little Zhuge, let’s be careful. I always feel that this place isn’t quite right; there might be dangers we don’t know about," Ni Chang said.
Little Zhuge also knew the current situation, as this mountain was too eerie.
Seeing Wang Yufan’s serious expression, she no longer had any intention of joking.
Just a few dozen breaths after these words were spoken, a roar came from behind them, a roar they were all too familiar with.
"Hurry, Little White Face, that guy is catching up!" Little Zhuge shouted, increasing her speed. Her master had used her last bit of strength to buy them this much time; if they didn’t fight for their lives now, they would truly be finished.
Wang Yufan also pushed his speed to the limit, but currently only at the True Immortal Realm, he was still no match for the Nine-tailed Fox, who possessed Yuanji Realm strength.
The two of them arrived together before a cold pond emanating a chilling aura. Many animal bones, and even human ones, floated on the surface of this cold pond. Above the pond was a faint layer of white mist, making it impossible to see the other side with the naked eye.
"Little White Face, let’s cross," Little Zhuge said.
Hearing Little Zhuge’s words, Wang Yufan shook his head and said,
"Look at the many bones of birds and other creatures floating on that cold pond. I don’t think it’s that easy to cross here."
Just after Wang Yufan finished speaking, a giant eagle at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm flew towards the cold pond, but the next moment...
With a "Chirp!", the giant eagle seemed to lose control of its body and plummeted directly into the cold pond. No matter how much it flapped its wings, it was forcibly dragged in.
After less than three breaths, the giant eagle resurfaced after falling into the cold pond, but now the originally dozens-of-feet-large giant eagle seemed to have its limbs torn apart by something terrifying, with only a layer of flesh connecting the bones.
Little Zhuge took a deep breath at this sight and then said,
"This is too terrifying! Luckily, I didn’t act impulsively and do anything foolish just now, or I would have been finished.
But the Nine-tailed Fox is about to catch up. What should we do?"
Just after Little Zhuge finished speaking, the forest behind them rustled.
Although Wang Yufan felt that there might be great danger in this cold pond, compared to the Nine-tailed Fox behind them, the cold pond in front of them was clearly more dangerous.
"Do you dare to take a risk? Never mind, don’t answer, there’s no time!" Wang Yufan said to Little Zhuge, but before Little Zhuge could say anything more, Wang Yufan directly conjured the Chaos Bell, covering both of them inside and heading into the cold pond.
Less than three breaths after they went down, a fox dozens of feet long with seven tails appeared at the edge of the cold pond.
"Strange, how did their scent disappear here? Did they dive down into this?" It was indeed the Nine-tailed Fox.
She looked at the numerous human and beast bones floating on the cold pond, showing no surprise.
She thought for a moment and then directly plunged into the cold pond.
Meanwhile, Wang Yufan and Little Zhuge, hiding inside the Chaos Bell, continued to dive deeper into the cold pond.
"Little White Face, this treasure of yours is really good! It actually isolates the outside world; the water from this cold pond can’t get in. However, there might be beings in this cold pond whose strength is not inferior to ours," Little Zhuge kept saying.
Wang Yufan didn’t need Little Zhuge to tell him. Controlling the Chaos Bell, he already felt a powerful force within this cold pond. Moreover, the moment they entered the water, Wang Yufan felt a pair of huge, bloodthirsty eyes staring at them from the bottomless cold pond. It made Wang Yufan’s scalp tingle; this was the first time he had felt such a sensation in his tens of thousands of years of life.
"What exactly is it that possesses such terrifying power?"
However, before he could finish thinking, he sensed the Nine-tailed Fox’s aura following them.
"There might be a good show to watch this time. We’ll prepare to slip away later," Ni Chang said to Little Zhuge. However, Little Zhuge was still completely bewildered by Wang Yufan’s words at this moment.
