Chapter 571 - 276: Tang Ruobing’s Exclusive Domain! (2)

"Oh..."

The short-tailed cat curled into a small ball and continued to ask, "Wasn’t our previous location also safe? Why change to this place?"

"Staying there, how could people from other factions not consider long-range targeted assassination?"

Tang Ruobing turned her head, her cold gaze falling on her as she continued, "In their eyes, you’re just a slightly annoying weakling. They don’t want to be dragged down by you, but it’s not like they can’t get rid of you. As long as they’re ruthless enough to use precious long-range items, it’s not hard to dispose of you."

"Oh."

"The position of the Howling Mountain Range is really good. Here, it will be difficult for the strong from other forces to explore deeply, and I can further transform the environment, making it a personal space more conducive to my abilities."

"Personal space?"

"Mhm."

Tang Ruobing walked out of the cave, her body flying to the mountain peak under the effect of magic. She gazed at the endless black mountain range, listening to the howling screams, her lips slightly curling upwards, as numerous spell patterns emitted beside her.

The dark array symbols flashed in succession, and the pitch-black rifts abruptly tore.

Then, sinister and eerie powers surged from the other side of the world, pouring into this one, and that terrifying power was precisely the fear-inducing... Power of the Ancient God.

The Power of the Ancient God intertwined and fused with the forces of the Howling Mountain Range, the terrifying black permeating the land, enhancing the mountain range’s spiritual attacks with Divine Power Enchantment, making them more lethal, and also adding various negative judgments like [Instant Death], [Spirit Corrosion], [Will Decay].

What was originally just a high-risk area, the Howling Mountain Range was now transformed into an ultra-high-risk area, its danger level skyrocketing in geometric proportions.

[Alert: The area you are in has been upgraded from a high-risk area to an ultra-high-risk area]

The short-tailed cat watched the continuous red alert prompts, feeling an unease in her heart but dared not act rashly. If she ventured out now, she’d probably meet her end.

In her view, although the leader is quite extraordinary, it can at least be explained by being gifted or having more accumulated knowledge and experience.

But the deputy leader is different. She received the Quenching of Ancient Divine Power far beyond anyone the short-tailed cat knows, and her usage of it also surpassed the cat’s understanding. Logically, such large-scale guidance of Ancient Divine Power to transform the environment would be dangerous, likely attracting the attention of an Ancient God, and might even result in death.

But the problem is, the deputy leader is still fine even now, despite her constitution containing such strong Ancient Divine Power, despite everything she’s done, nothing has happened.

What on earth is going on?

Could it be...

She has someone in the Ancient Divine Realm backing her up?

Or, is she herself an Ancient God?

The sound waves of the Howling Mountain Range became more terrifying and eerie, the concentration of Ancient Divine Power in the mountain grew higher, and some cursed lives in the mountains began moving towards the direction of Ancient Calamity, making the entire area more horrifying.

But even so, Tang Ruobing atop the mountain did not stop, more and more Ancient Divine Power surged out, as if the terrifying force was about to swallow the whole world.

[Alert: The danger level of the ultra-high-risk area you are in is continuously rising]

[Alert: The danger level of the ultra-high-risk area you are in is continuously rising]

The alerts from the Spirit Realm sounded again, the short-tailed cat’s body curled smaller, her face showing a sorrowful expression as she looked at the environmental debuff.

Environmental Debuff - Howling Mountain Range: Each sound wave directly deals 85 points of slicing damage, 98 points of spiritual damage, 102 points of soul damage, with each damage additionally applying multiple negative effects like [Spirit Tearing], [Spirit Corrosion], [Will Decay], [Soul Fragmentation], [Instant Death], [Resistance Reduction].

This environmental debuff is ridiculously strong, normal people would ascend to heaven just by staying here a little while, without the deputy leader even needing to make a move.

However, there are many top-tier Dominator-level strongmen in other factions, and those Dominators have various top-tier Tier Two items. If they are strong enough, with ultra-high resistance, maybe they’d manage to have a slightly fair fight with the deputy leader here.

[Tip: The Spiritual Pearl has been issued; its specific location is displayed on the map]

The Spiritual Pearl has been issued!

The short-tailed cat immediately checked the map, discovering the Lord’s location seemed quite far from the Howling Mountain Range where she was, and if a war broke out, it probably wouldn’t reach here.

....

On the other side, in the area where the Spiritual Pearl was, no battle erupted, various members from the Giant Race, Silicon-based Life, Feather Race, and Demon Race stood together harmoniously discussing.

"Even though I’m from the Feather Race, I’m not good at speed, so the responsibility of holding the Spiritual Pearl should be given to the leader of the Giant Race. You have long legs, you run fast," said the youth from the Feather Race with a smile.

"Oh no, not at all, although I’m big, I’m actually clumsy and slow. If you make me run with the Spiritual Pearl, it’ll soon be caught by the Blood Erosion Tyrant, better to give it to the Silicon-based life, your technology is advanced, you’re surely fast!" The elder from the Giant Race replied modestly.

Normally, if someone said Giants moved slowly, he’d probably get upset and show them firsthand the agility and strength of Giants, but not now. He’s let go of his past insistence, admitting he’s clumsy.

"I can’t! I can’t!"

The fellow from the Silicon-based life also started to decline, saying with a grin, "Oh, I don’t know if any of you have heard the saying, ’Tech is frail, cultivation ascends.’ Those who can cultivate rank as true leaders; I’m just a petty weakling relying on machinery, so better give it to the Demon Race brothers."

"Oh no, don’t give it to me..."

They began to pass the responsibility around, none of them wanting to be hunted by the Blood Erosion Tyrant by holding the Spiritual Pearl, hoping to watch the Tyrant chase someone else for fun.

Soon, the Feather Race youth clapped his hands together, laughing, "Then why don’t we toss this Spiritual Pearl over to the Spiritualist side? It’s not important anyway, plus it can test whether there’s any connection between the Tyrant and the Spiritualist faction—feels quite useful."

"Makes sense! But the issue is, do you know where the Spiritualists are? The short-tailed cat already ran away, God knows where she went."

"Right, exactly."

"By the way, I have a very rare Tier Two item that can be used to directly detect the approximate location of a faction. Since the Spiritualist faction has only one person, using it on her will pinpoint her exact location for reporting," the Feather Race person said with a smile.

"That’s great! Then let’s just toss the item to the Spiritualist faction and see what happens then."

"Let’s go, go, go; if we don’t hurry, the Blood Erosion Tyrant will hunt us down, and we won’t be able to leave."

....

Half an hour later

The group holding the Spiritual Pearl stood before the Howling Mountain Range, watching the surging Ancient Divine Power and disturbing demonic sound, falling into long silence, their previous smiles vanished.

"Are you sure there isn’t a mistake in your location? You’re certain the short-tailed cat is here?"

The alien from the Giant Race lowered his head, frowned, looking at the Feather Race warrior asking.

"That’s right."

The Feather Race warrior shared his detection interface with them, confirming the place he found was indeed right here.

But...

How could this be an ultra-high-risk area!

And there’s Ancient Divine Power?

Terror and despair gradually spread in everyone’s heart, as the map showed the Blood Erosion Tyrant has already reached the place of the Spiritual Pearl, but they couldn’t precisely toss the Spiritual Pearl to the Spiritualist faction.

Seems like this situation is a bit bad?
