Chapter 934: Chapter 232: Disturbance in the Iron Shard (2-in-1) (Part 2)
The two worked together without any mistakes at all.
Just by looking at the detailed plans they set for encountering various situations and the countermeasures, you can tell how comprehensive they are.
Now, the only difference is... Yan Beihan would proactively ask Fang Che, "What do you think?" after proposing some ideas.
Once Fang Che gave a satisfactory reply after careful consideration, Yan Beihan would be reassured.
During this time together, just in terms of Jianghu survival, Fang Che had thoroughly overwhelmed Yan Beihan to the point where she couldn’t even muster the slightest resistance or confidence.
Because this was about individual ability, not background or identity.
Moreover, in this vast Yin Yang Realm, any background or identity is of no use; the only thing you can rely on is yourself.
And Fang Che, slowly with all his Jianghu experience, had become a firm support in Yan Beihan’s heart.
Yan Beihan was very aware of her own psychological changes.
However, she had no choice.
The situation was pressing, if you didn’t want to die here, in many matters, you had to listen to Fang Che.
The only correct choice.
Although Yan Beihan was proud, she would never go against her own life.
She even felt like a dry sponge quickly absorbing moisture.
All the knowledge from Fang Che, she was absorbing as fast as possible, yet new ones kept emerging.
Although Yan Beihan never said it out loud or in her heart, she was becoming more and more impressed with Fang Che, even somewhat admiring him.
If it were Duan Xiyang or Yan Nan reaching this level, Yan Beihan wouldn’t have thought much of it.
Because for them to accomplish anything, it was expected.
But how old was Fang Che?
Pressure from peers is always the greatest motivator for young people to advance!
Five days later...
Fang Che and Yan Beihan finally traveled far away from that territory, entering a turbulent rock and Chaotic Stone Plain area, where vegetation was sparse, and the ground was filled with loose stones.
"This place is strange, it feels off." Yan Beihan said.
"Hm? What’s strange? Tell me."
Fang Che said this, but Yan Beihan naturally wouldn’t assume he couldn’t figure it out; it was just another test for her.
But Yan Beihan was already used to this.
She felt like a student always following an examiner, constantly answering questions and being corrected.
"These stones here, although there are no traces on them, by the standards of such a Yin Yang Realm terrain, it’s impossible for such a vast place not to have mountains."
Yan Beihan said.
"Hm... perhaps."
Fang Che was somewhat unconvinced, because he had seen even broader places without mountains in the outside world.
"The hills we’ve seen along the way, weathered as they are, give the impression that countless mountains once stood on this ground but were shattered by some formidable existence... It’s that kind of feeling."
"In other words, this was not initially a plain or small hills area but was once mountains that were flattened and shattered to form the current landscape."
Yan Beihan observed, increasingly convinced: "It must be so."
"This world is devoid of humans and powerful cultivators. If shattered, it must have been Demon Beasts that did it. Why would Demon Beasts shatter mountains? What’s the benefit?"
Fang Che asked.
Yan Beihan froze: "This, I don’t know."
"But there must be a reason."
Yan Beihan said.
"Let’s first explore this area."
Fang Che gazed at the vast area of chaotic stones, inexplicably feeling as though something within was attracting him?
Yet, there was no discovery at all.
They delved deeper.
The shock in Fang Che and Yan Beihan’s hearts grew as the journey continued, for all the stones they saw were roughly the same size.
The majority were the size of a human head, occasionally larger, but only as big as a millstone.
Most others were fist-sized stones, somewhat rounded.
"A place like this... although filled with stones, using them to build houses would indeed be troublesome. But why are all the stones like this?"
"Even if they were shattered, they didn’t have to be like this, right?"
Yan Beihan was utterly puzzled.
Standing on a hill, Fang Che stamped his foot on the ground and said, "If, as you suspect, this was originally a mountain... then as it is now, by digging up the surface soil, we should find the mountain’s body."
He hadn’t finished speaking when Yan Beihan began to act.
A gust of wind, with a bang, blasted the soil open, flinging countless layers of earth away.
Revealing beneath the thick layers of soil was...
An original mountain body covered with cracks.
The stones were almost all shattered, haphazardly cracked, showing the tragic sign of an entire mountain being shattered.
"No need to dig up all the soil layers. Our hypothesis seems correct."
Fang Che sighed.
Looking at the vast expanse of hilly terrain beneath his feet, then contemplating that it once was a mountain, but was shattered... and the whole land was these hills...
In other words, countless mountains had been shattered!
"Why?" Yan Beihan frowned, bewildered.
"Only one possibility can explain it." Fang Che said.
"What?" Yan Beihan immediately turned her head.
"Looking for something."
Fang Che said, "And that thing isn’t large, so all the mountains were smashed to seek it."
Yan Beihan was somewhat confused: "What item needs to be searched for like this? Also, there’s no need to pulverize all the mountains for this, right? Even if Demon Beasts lack intelligence, doing such a thing without significant reasons and benefits is impossible."
