Chapter 196


    Theva flowed down from the top of the mountain; wherever it passed, there was a burst of smoke.


    The sky was shrouded in dark volcanic ash as orange fireworks erupted from the crater.


    Tang Yu leaned against the window, holding a high magnification telescope in his hand, gazing at the crater in the extreme distance.


    He only vaguely recognized the figure, which was somewhat simr to a human, roaming freely around in the erupting pir of fire.


    He couldn’t see clearly. But for some reason, Tang Yu had a feeling that the figure at the crater facing the scorching pirs of me, facing the scaldingva, was wandering around and enjoying the eruption.


    It’s terrifying just to think about it!


    “Is it a demonic beast, an alienated beast, or something else? Some ancient human-like Zhor, or new creature I don’t know about?”


    He was quite curious. However, it’s better to observe it from afar now. He marked the location on the map, if someday he mastered some kind of safe exploration method, he woulde over to take a look.


    ………..


    The Floating Chariot passed the Yucheng City area after a while. Three days passed in the blink of an eye as they drove during the day and rested at night.


    Thendscape had changed dramatically during the doomsday. There were areas covered in spiky rocks.


    There were trees dotted with a violet-blue luminous glow, looking both dreamy and dangerous, or bizarre.


    “ording to the n, we should be able to reach the Luoxia Shelter tomorrow.” Tang Yu tapped his finger on the pre-nned route, zooming in on the area ahead, “This area is mostly mountains and hills. It was a sparsely popted ce before the doomsday. There aren’t anyrge shelters established here; the danger level is unknown, so we’d better be careful.”


    He chose to pass by the 6-star dead zone between the two provinces, yet other ces weren’t necessarily safe either.


    Tang Yu even slowed down his floating chariot’s speed just so he wouldn’t identally run into some high-risk areas.


    This morning because they were flying too fast, they identally crashed into their of a powerful alienated beast and crushed several of its eggs that wererger than a human body.


    It enraged the beast, making them chase around the convoy. In order to escape, they set the chariot on full power.


    They crashed again into another powerful alienated beast territory, breaking two of the chariot’s mounted rotating machine guns, making Tang Yu feel depressed.


    Over-speeding was a bad idea.


    …………


    The danger in the mountain forest was even greater. Except for the demonic beast emerging from the crack, most of the animals before the doomsday would be demonized by the red mist spreading from the crack.


    These animals would undergo a mutation and be stronger, faster, with sharper ws. Or maybe even awaken some special abilities just like humans.


    Just like human hunters with abilities, the different beast also had simr traits. They’re stronger, possessing spiritual intelligence, and sometimes even harder to deal with rather than demonic beasts.


    In these areas, the mountain viges in this area are either moved to various shelters or perished under the dangerous mountain forest.


    However, in an area surrounded by mountains and dense forest, there was a curling smoke rising. It was a small mountain vige. There were some 2 or 3 story tall houses scattered in the area.


    From the air, the vige’s path was visible. Hundreds of vigers lived there; they’ve been there for generations since before the doomsday and never left.


    Even with technology advancement, the small vige located deep in the mountain remained unchanged. Even with the electricity and knowledge of the outside world, most of them still remain there.


    The vige was their paradise, their safe haven. The vigers relied on the gifts of nature to live a quiet and peaceful secluded life.


    Even after the doomsday, they didn’t leave. Depending on their own methods to survive in this dangerous area. The entire vige hadn’t suffered much damage and still retained its original appearance.


    At this moment, however, hundreds of vigers living there were nervous, looking up at the sky in unison.


    A demonic flying beast with bronze-colored wings, a beak curved like a barb, and a wingspan of over thirty meters was hovering in the sky above their vige.


    Its wings were blowing a hurricane that was sharper than a de, leaving mottled traces on the ground—blowing away the brick and tile from the houses. The peaceful vige suddenly became chaotic.


    “Quick, stop it!”


    In the center of the vige, an old man with white hair opened his mouth. With a loud whistle, several figures pped their wings and flew up into the sky.


    Behind the old man, an alienated beast looked simr to a white crane but wasrger leaped and flew.


    The white crane had a pointed beak; its wings were harder than steel. Carrying a fearsome fierceness with it, flying towards the demonic beast like a rocket.


    The vigers nervously watched as the figures fought in the sky.


    Shriek!!!


    A miserable chirp was heard as the alienated flying beast fell from the sky. It was staining the ground with bright red blood. It was just the beginning. One after another, the white crane had fallen, the viger’s expression grew darker.


    Boom!


    The alienated white crane smashed down at a house. The beast struggled to get up, but a huge gash tore apart the joint that connected the wings to its back, unable to return to the sky.


    The moment the white crane fell, the vige chief spurted out blood from his mouth. His body suddenly became pale and weak.


    “Chief!”


    People shouted in rm, and a viger quickly came over with a herb, “Quick! Give this herb to the vige chief! It can heal the wounds!”


    The bronze flying demonic beast was still wreaking havoc upon the vige.


    The hunters tried to resist the damage to the vige. However, there were more and more alienated beasts roaring and rushing to attack the demonic flying beast.


    The strongest alienated beast, the White Crane, was gravely injured. And the other alienated beasts were also disabled from flying.


    They could only ept their death. This time, more and more vigers spurted out blood from their mouths.


    The vige chief coughed up blood again, his face looking pale. “It’s all my fault. I was the one who suggested we should stay here. If not, we won’t be in such a crisis.”
