Chapter 657: Chapter 92: Beating Them to the Punch? Heh (Second Update)

But Mu Qingge, at the moment when its foul-smelling mouth descended, nimbly climbed onto the back of a ’Sword Tooth Dragon’.

She kneeled on one knee on the Sword Tooth Dragon’s back, letting the dragon shake furiously, trying to throw her off.

Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a slight cold smile, as the finger cover in her hand glimmered with a cold light. The Linglong Spear appeared in her hand, and she raised it, fiercely stabbing it into the flesh of the Sword Tooth Dragon’s back.

"Roar—!" The sudden pain made the Sword Tooth Dragon let out a cry of agony, with anger mixed in its roar.

It went into a frenzy, trying to throw Mu Qingge off, but the Linglong Spear was firmly embedded in its back, ensuring Mu Qingge stood steadily on it.

The Sword Tooth Dragon charged forward wildly, continuously crashing into other Exotic Beasts.

Chaos erupted among the Exotic Beasts.

Mu Qingge’s clear eyes watched the chaos, musing to herself, ’Not enough yet!’

She forcefully pulled out the Linglong Spear, causing the Sword Tooth Dragon to howl in pain once again. Then, she leapt onto another Exotic Beast, using the Linglong Spear to blind its eyes, making it cry out in agony.

Mu Qingge continued her aimless attacks; any Exotic Beast she encountered was either injured or decapitated by her Spiritual Power.

The disturbance alarmed more Exotic Beasts, successfully stirring their rage and initiating their pursuit of her.

Seeing the desired effect reached, Mu Qingge immediately ran towards the northeast corner, while behind her, the sound of the snowfield trembling and the angry cries of the Exotic Beasts echoed.

Without looking back, she knew there were tens of thousands of Exotic Beasts chasing her.

’It seems these Exotic Beasts really are dinosaurs,’ Mu Qingge thought to herself as she ran. Her previous slaughter was not only to incite the Exotic Beasts to chase her but also to understand their abilities.

Apparently, apart from speed, strength, and thick skin, they don’t possess any fire-breathing or water-controlling abilities.

This realization put her at ease.

A stunning scene unfolded in this corner of the snowfield: a small black dot continuously ran ahead, followed by a triangle-shaped horde of Exotic Beasts desperately chasing, sprinting madly.

Behind them, the snowfield showed slight cracks, and the thunderous footsteps shook down some glaciers.

’Why do dinosaurs, which long since went extinct on Earth, appear here? Is it as Si Mo said, that this place is a multi-dimensional space with multiple worlds? And these spaces have some connections between them? Otherwise, how can it be explained that she appears in this Otherworld? How can it be explained that dinosaurs are chasing her now?’ As she ran, Mu Qingge’s mind raced with thoughts.

She suddenly realized that she seemed to have never truly understood the world she existed in, neither in her past life nor in this one. The world she saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

...

Roar—!

Roar—! Roar Roar—!

Jiang Li leaped down from atop an Exotic Beast, wielding the Divine Artifact Evil Extermination crafted by Mu Qingge for her. With a flick of her wrist, a few drops of blood splattered from the sharp blade of Evil Extermination.

Behind her, countless Exotic Beasts roared in anger.

Jiang Li glanced back with a cold smile, holding Evil Extermination as she resumed her killing spree. Around her, the snowfield was stained red with blood, and numerous Exotic Beast corpses fell.

"That’s about enough," Jiang Li surveyed the corpses around her, flashing a bewitching smile at the Exotic Beasts pursuing her.

She turned and went forward, no longer entangled with the Exotic Beasts.

But her desire to leave only further enraged the Exotic Beasts, who desperately chased her, wanting to tear her apart and swallow her whole.

Jiang Li channeled all her Spiritual Power to sprint forward, occasionally tossing an elixir from Mu Qingge into her mouth to quickly replenish her energy and Spiritual Power, allowing her to maintain a safe distance from the pursuing Exotic Beasts.

Almost simultaneously, in five directions of the snowfield, huge disturbances arose. Five groups of Exotic Beasts were frenziedly chasing the small black dot in front, constantly heading northeast.

The total number of these Exotic Beasts likely reached hundreds of thousands, grandly advancing toward the northeast corner, nearly attracting all the Exotic Beasts in Cold Inch Space.

This pursuit lasted a day and night, and whenever the Exotic Beasts tried to give up, they would return to fight back, re-agitating the Exotic Beasts before continuing to run northeast.

On Mu Qingge’s map, they were constantly nearing the location of the Divine Strategy Middle Volume, while another group seemed to be hovering around the Divine Strategy Middle Volume’s location.

This sight made Mu Qingge’s heart sink.

Their pause appeared to confirm her initial suspicion more strongly! That is, they also know the location of the Divine Strategy Middle Volume.

Now, the delay either meant they only knew the approximate area but not the precise site or something else was impeding them, slowing their progress.

Yet, Mu Qingge believed the most likely situation was they only knew the general location. After all, with their strength, there should be nothing in Cold Inch Space that could block their advance.

Boom boom boom boom—!

The snowfield tremors reverberated softly.

Among a group of five, four middle-aged men revered a young man.

They wore white snow robes, adorned with patterns sewn from black gold threads, indicating their distinguished status.

"Young Master, it seems like the ground is shaking," one of them said to the young man.

The young man was dignified and imposing, with sharply defined features. His sword-like brows extended to his temples, exuding an extraordinary aura. In his deep eyes, there was a hidden coldness and sharpness.

"Ignore it, focus on confirming the location of the Divine Strategy Middle Volume," Mu Tianyin’s voice carried a trace of cold fierceness, devoid of any emotion.

"Yes, Young Master." The middle-aged man dared not defy him and quickly withdrew.

Another person appeared beside Mu Tianyin and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, the Tianlu mentioned feeling another passage open simultaneously elsewhere when opening this one, there might be competitors coming in."

"If they come, they come. If we encounter them, kill them," Mu Tianyin replied indifferently.

This response revealed his ruthlessness and heartlessness.

At the same time, it showed his clear understanding of this competition, akin to raising a king of insects. Since they were all competitors, why bother with sympathy?

"The Mu Clan only needs one Young Master, me. Apart from me, no one else can lead the Mu Clan to the peak," he said confidently.

"What Young Master says is absolutely right! We all regard Young Master as our leader, and we are willing to die ten thousand times for the revival of the Mu Clan!" The four people accompanying him all declared.

But Mu Tianyin remained unmoved, only impatiently said, "Alright, don’t waste any more time. In this competition, only those who obtain the Divine Strategy will be the victor!"

His deep, piercing gaze was obscure and hard to fathom, only he knew how desperately he wanted the complete Divine Strategy. Because he was not born from the direct lineage of the Mu Clan, he needed the complete Divine Strategy to prove to all the remaining members of the Mu Clan that he was the one endowed with destiny, from now on, he would be the only sky of the Mu Clan!

’The Divine Hall in the Middle Ancient Realm is just a bunch of idiots. You managed to escape so easily and got here. Fine, let me see how capable you are. If it’s too disappointing, it’s best to end everything here.’ Mu Tianyin silently pondered in his heart.

...

’Almost there.’ Mu Qingge had been closely observing the changes on the map in her mind. When the five of them approached the northeast corner of the map, she restrained her breath and turned into the space.

She had just hidden when tens of thousands of exotic beasts came rampaging, already provoked by Mu Qingge and red-eyed, as if nothing less than killing Mu Qingge would ease their anger.

Now, only slaughter can calm their fury. So, even though they no longer saw Mu Qingge’s figure, they still charged forward, seemingly certain that the one who dared to provoke them was just ahead.

Tens of thousands of exotic beasts galloped across the snowy field, causing tiny cracks to appear on the vibrating ground, exposing the thick layer of ice beneath.

Once they were gone, Mu Qingge emerged from the space, raised a hand to gently smooth her robe, and said faintly, "They say the brain of a dragon is only the size of a walnut, not very smart, seems it’s really true."

She closed her eyes, indicating that the black dots representing her faction should have gradually escaped the chase of the exotic beasts and stopped, altering their position towards her direction.

And those exotic beasts they led should at this time continue heading northeast, approaching the other party.

Following this trend, in a little while, they would converge, and after more than half an hour, they would reach the group from the Divine Demon Continent.

Mu Qingge opened her eyes, a cold smile at the corner of her lips. She spoke lightly, "Enjoy the welcome gift I meticulously prepared for you, don’t let me down!"

After the sentence, a small figure ran towards her from a distance on her right.

Drawing nearer, the person’s face became clear—it was Yuanyuan, who had completed the task and came to meet her.

...

"Young Master, Tianlu only provided a rough location, even if we thoroughly inspect this place, it would probably take a whole day."

"Young Master, Tianlu said the Divine Strategy Middle Volume could be buried anywhere within a hundred-mile radius, and we only have a handful of people..."

Mu Tianyin frowned, his already sharp features becoming even colder and more severe. "Are you trying to reason with me?"

"We don’t dare!" His four subordinates all bowed their heads, not daring to say more.

Mu Tianyin’s fierce eyes fixed on them, speaking in a low voice, "No matter what methods you use, even if you have to ruin this space, you must find it for me within half a day."

All four subordinates paled; finding the Divine Strategy within half a day was simply an impossible task.

And if the task wasn’t completed...

A shiver ran down the four’s spines. Under Mu Tianyin’s control, the punishment was severe; if they returned without completing the task, they would be lucky to escape with their lives.

"Young Master, didn’t Tianlu say we have seven days? Why such urgency?" one of them asked, gritting his teeth.

Mu Tianyin’s gaze swept over him coldly, "Are you questioning my words?"

"No, not daring! I dare not!" The man immediately knelt on one knee to admit his mistake.

Mu Tianyin’s eyes narrowed, the gaps reflecting a chilling light, "If you don’t dare, then hurry up and find it for me." The Divine Strategy naturally should be obtained as quickly as possible.

’Seven days! The spiritual pressure of the Divine Demon Continent is so high that even Master can only control the passage for seven days. And those on the other side in the Middle Ages Realm? How long can they stay here?’ Mu Tianyin thought. He had a feeling that the opponents who came here were from the Middle Ancient Realm.

Roar Roar——!
