Chapter 2667: Chapter 2666: Dark Giant Mountain
As the bamboo raft glided steadily through the waves, the deep and ancient voice of the Sovereign Witch resonated within the hearts of Lin Dong and the others, like whispers in the long river of history, slowly unveiling a dust-laden secret.
"Younger generation, the sea beasts you see here were named ’strange beasts’ in ancient times. They favor residing in the lightless, sunless places of extreme Yin, which serve as both their paradise and their tombs."
"Should a strange beast survive in such an environment for over a hundred years, its body will gestate a peculiar gemstone—a soul stone. These soul stones, containing the strange beast’s life’s spiritual power and essence, are excellent materials for refining Soul Supplement Pills."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong and the others all showed expressions of astonishment. They had never imagined these seemingly fierce and unmatched sea beasts held such secrets.
What shocked them even more was that the strange beasts before them had clearly survived in this sea for far more than a hundred years, with each nurturing a precious soul stone within.
"Senior Sovereign Witch, you truly are knowledgeable." Yun Ruoxian praised, hastily flattering the Sovereign Witch.
The spirit and soul of the Sovereign Witch smiled gently but said nothing more, continuing instead to guide the bamboo raft through the mist. In this mysterious sea, she seemed to become the most reliable support for everyone, and any strange beast that tried to approach was obliterated by her invisible power.
"Since they are willingly delivering themselves to us, why should we be polite?" The spirit and soul of the Sovereign Witch suddenly switched tone, becoming sharp.
Her figure flickered in and out of sight around the bamboo raft, and each flash accompanied a rumble, the echo left by the slaughtered strange beasts.
Thus, under the Sovereign Witch’s protection, the group not only safely traversed this perilous sea but also encountered assaults from hundreds of strange beasts along the way.
However, to the Sovereign Witch, these attacks were just a trifling matter.
She even took the initiative to attack, seeking out the strange beasts hidden beneath the sea surface, slaying them one by one and extracting the soul stones from them.
When the bamboo raft finally emerged from the mist and reveled in the daylight again, the Sovereign Witch handed Lin Dong a heavy bag full of soul stones.
The bag contained over three hundred soul stones, each emitting a faint glow, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
"Lin Dong, these soul stones are yours. Once you’re out, you can refine enough Soul Supplement Pills. In future battles, you won’t have to worry about insufficient spiritual power." The Sovereign Witch’s voice carried a hint of admonition, yet also barely concealed the satisfaction within.
Lin Dong took the soul stones, an indescribable excitement welling up in his heart.
Over three hundred soul stones meant he could refine the same number of Soul Supplement Pills, which was undoubtedly a huge aid for him.
Recalling the efforts he previously exhausted just for a mere ten Soul Supplement Pills, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, secretly thinking, "Perhaps I can really eat Soul Supplement Pills like they’re beans in the future."
"You can refine Soul Supplement Pills?" Yun Ruoxian and Tang Yun both looked toward Lin Dong.
Lin Dong nodded, "The Soul Supplement Pill is a third-grade supreme elixir and not difficult to refine."
"What a monster." Tian Kong murmured beside them, indeed the third-grade supreme elixir is not difficult to refine.
But how old is Lin Dong? Balancing cultivation, not only has his martial arts strength reached Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, but his alchemy skills are also this impressive.
This is very rare!
"Can you refine Beauty Pills?" At this moment, Yun Ruoxian suddenly asked Lin Dong.
"The Beauty Pill isn’t high-grade; of course, I can refine it," Lin Dong said.
Yun Ruoxian immediately appeared very interested, "Then after we leave, I’ll give you the herbs, and you can help me refine a few, okay?"
"Of course, no problem." Lin Dong agreed.
Yun Ruoxian was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Tang Yun, who was beside them, cast a weird glance at Lin Dong and Yun Ruoxian.
"Did something happen between these two on the island? Yun Ruoxian, could she have taken Lin Dong down? It’s a pity it wasn’t me with him alone; otherwise, I’d even drug him if I had to. Truly a missed opportunity; I won’t have this chance again..." Tang Yun mused inwardly.
She said there wouldn’t be such an opportunity again, not because there wouldn’t be a chance to be alone.
But because there wouldn’t be a chance when he couldn’t use Inner Qi!
If he could use Inner Qi, how would Lin Dong fear her drugging him?
While Tang Yun was lost in thought, Lin Dong’s group finally traversed the surging green sea.
Beneath the sea surface seemed to hide countless unknown creatures and dark currents, with every splash making one’s heart palpitate.
But at the moment, they stood at the edge of another unknown world, before a fearsome and eerie dark mountain.
This mountain seemed to have been sculpted by nature’s most ruthless sculptor out of endless darkness and hard rock, with vertical cliffs rising to the clouds at a staggering height, at least several thousand meters tall.
In the darkness, the mountain appeared more sinister, every rock seemed eroded by time into distinct edges yet exuded a peculiarly unyielding and cold demeanor.
At the foot of the mountain, no vegetation covered the ground, only bare rocks and occasional scattered stones, looking particularly desolate.
The air was filled with a suffocating aura, as if even breathing became heavy. From afar came occasional roars of unidentified creatures, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
"This mountain is almost vertical, several thousand meters high, the difficulty of climbing is not ordinary." Yun Ruoxian softly said, her voice carrying slight trembles.
Tang Yun scanned the surroundings vigilantly, fully prepared to handle any possible dangers at this moment.
Tian Kong, with a solemn expression, slowly said, "This mountain, not only is it towering, but from its aura, it might harbor powerful creatures or unknown dangers. We must proceed with caution."
Crescent Wolf Emperor, the half-human, half-wolf being, also let out a low growl, seemingly expressing its awe and vigilance toward the mountain in its own way.
Its eyes glimmered with wisdom, as if it could perceive secrets undetectable by ordinary people.
"The next night time is coming." Lin Dong looked at the dark mountain before him and slowly said.
As night fell, darkness gradually devoured this world, rendering the eerie mountain even more frightening under the night color.
The wind began to howl, carrying a bone-chilling cold, as if even the air trembled.
"Everyone ready, we climb the mountain!" Lin Dong gave the order, and the six-member team embarked on the journey to conquer this dark and eerie mountain.
Meanwhile, the spirit and soul of the Sovereign Witch guarded around the six. With it as a guarantee, the six felt much more at ease.
