The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 669: Convergence

Chapter 669 -669: Convergence

Another wave of beasts passed, and Fang Lin returned to the surface. After glancing around briefly, he quickly left the area.

The surrounding area of Hundred Beast Mountain had already grown apprehensive. The animal tides were occurring too frequently, and staying there would cause him to spend most of his time hiding underground, unable to do anything at all.

Therefore, Fang Lin decided to leave the outskirts and cross the border to dive deep into the Ferocious Mountain.

Even though there were many potent Demon Beasts in the depths of the Ferocious Mountain, there weren’t as many animal tides, and the presence of the Old Dried Corpse also assured Fang Lin’s safety.

After making up his mind, Fang Lin set off towards the borderline, encountering many dangers along the way. Besides the animal tides, Fang Lin accidentally intruded into the territory of a Demon Beast and almost failed to escape.

After ten days, Fang Lin finally reached the border zone. In front of him lay a range of towering mountains, beyond which was the deep area of Hundred Beast Mountain.

However, at the moment, the borderline separating the peripheral area from the deep area was congested with numerous Demon Beasts, effectively blocking his entry into the depths.

Fang Lin hid in the shadows and was shocked to discover the Silver Fox had arrived near the border as well, accompanied by an even larger horde of Demon Beasts.

“What is that creature up to? Why have all these Demon Beasts gathered here? Is it planning to cross the border and progress deeper into the mountains?” Fang Lin muttered, hidden in a crevice between rocks.

“The deep area of Ferocious Mountain is very different from the outskirts. That Silver Fox might be powerful, but it should dare not venture into the deepest depths,” the Old Dried Corpse remarked.

Frowning, Fang Lin wondered why the Silver Fox was gathering so many Demon Beasts at the border if it wasn’t to move deeper into the mountains.

The Silver Fox floated in the air, with the mountains and valleys filled with the shadowy figures of Demon Beasts obediently following it, their eyes fixated on the fox with frenzied anticipation.

The Silver Fox let out a series of beastly roars, driving the Demon Beasts into a frenzy of excited roars, causing a rumbling noise that echoed in Fang Lin’s ears.

“What is it saying?” Fang Lin asked.

“It seems that the Silver Fox plans to besiege all the Martial Artists in the depths of Ferocious Mountain,” the Old Dried Corpse replied with a grave voice.

On hearing this, Fang Lin paled dramatically as he finally understood why the Silver Fox had gathered the group of Demon Beasts – it planned to start from here and gradually push towards the periphery of the Ferocious Mountain, to exterminate any Martial Artist residing within the Mountain.

This was clearly leaving them with no chance for escape. The outskirts of the Ferocious Mountain might be vast, but with the Silver Fox having gathered nearly all the peripheral Demon Beasts to carry out a step-by-step search, where could the few remaining Martial Artists hide?

Fang Lin’s expression darkened. Although he could not be entirely sure of the Silver Fox’s decision, it was certainly a possibility. If it were to happen, Fang Lin could only save himself by leaving Hundred Beast Mountain.

“It seems like I have to use another of my trump cards,” Fang Lin gritted his teeth. With many Demon Beasts blocking the borderline, even with his abilities, there was no way for him to cross without drawing attention.

Moreover, he was highly concerned about the whereabouts and status of Dugu Nian and the others, as they had not communicated any news to him during this time.

With that in mind, Fang Lin pulled out his green Lotus Platform. He didn’t use this item often, but each time it was used, it was always at crucial moments.

A hum resonated as the Lotus Platform released a glow. Although the light wasn’t particularly bright, the Silver Fox, being extraordinarily perceptive, detected it instantly and swiftly turned its gem-like eyes towards the direction of Fang Lin’s hiding place.

“Damn! How is this creature so sensitive? Again, it’s found me!” Fang Lin swore under his breath. The last time, a similar scenario had occurred, where he had nearly been unable to run away.

The Silver Fox let out a howl as its massive tail swept through the air striking towards him.

Cursing, Fang Lin activated the Lotus Platform artifact. Just as the fox’s tail arrived, he vanished in an instant.

With a thundering crash, the fox’s tail pulverized the large rock where Fang Lin had been hiding, and a horde of Demon Beasts charged towards the location.

Somewhere deep in Hundred Beast Mountain, on a rock face, Fang Lin’s figure abruptly appeared as he perched on a large tree.

Sitting on the tree, Fang Lin seemed somewhat pale, his heart echoing with traces of fear. He felt fortunate to have acted fast; otherwise, his life would have been in severe danger.

Just then, an idea flashed in Fang Lin’s mind, and he drew out the Message Transmitting Jade Slip.

Upon hearing the ongoing conversations from within the Message Transmitting Jade Slip, Fang Lin finally felt relieved.

Dugu Nian and Steward Shen had finally given some news.

Apparently, they had already ventured deep into the Hundred Beast Mountain but ran into some trouble. They had been trapped in dangerous terrain, losing contact with the outside world until now.

After putting away the Jade Slip, Fang Lin immediately went up to meet with Dugu Nian and the others. At the time, safety was best guaranteed with more people around.

Soon enough, Fang Lin found Dugu Nian and the others.

“How did you all get inside?” Fang Lin inquired as he landed and looked at everyone.

Mei Yingxue, Wang Erdan and others were all present, and each person looked fatigued.

“After you suddenly disappeared from that ancient battlefield, we encountered an animal tide. It wasn’t just one, but several animal tides erupting at once. Forced into a corner, we had no choice but to flee. After encountering the Silver Fox and losing some people, we crossed the borderline and entered here,” Mei Yingxue explained.

Fang Lin furrowed his brows, “You also encountered the Silver Fox?”

Everyone nodded in affirmation, with Wang Erdan looking particularly terrified as he recalled, “That fox was frightening! Its tail transformed into something massive and flew towards us, killing several people on the spot. If we hadn’t used our treasures, we wouldn’t have been able to escape into the mountains.”

“By the way, we discovered something,” Wang Erdan added.

Fang Lin was on the verge of asking what they had discovered when he noticed disapproving glances from Chi Yunxiao and Dugu Ruoxu directed towards Wang Erdan.

Mei Yingxue, however, seemed unaffected, as if she didn’t care what Wang Erdan was about to say.

“We discovered some Demon Clan Ruins. There were five altars there, and on each altar hovered a piece of Demon Bone,” Wang Erdan explained.

This revelation took Fang Lin by surprise.

“Why didn’t you take the Demon Bones?” Fang Lin asked.

This time, Mei Yingxue responded, “Powerful Demon Beasts, all at the Four Transformations stage, guarded the five altars. There was also a Demon King present. We could only observe from a distance; we couldn’t get near.”

Fang Lin took all this in, then smiled at the group and asked, “Did you tell me this because you want me to help you obtain the Demon Bones?”

Mei Yingxue shook her head. “We need to cooperate if we stand any chance at getting those Demon Bones, but even then, the chances are slim. The risks are too high; we need a thorough plan.”
