Chapter 26 - 26: Thousand Beast Forest! Nine Peaks!
One month later…
With the ancient map in hand, Su Xiaobai crossed into the feared Thousand Beast Region—a place that supposedly devoured the careless.
He felt no fear.
For him, this so-called "death zone" was just scenery. Tales of savage beasts and endless pits? Overblown nonsense for the faint-hearted.
On his way here, he'd heard unsettling rumors—entire villages wiped out by some mysterious force. Yet, of all people, villagers had been eyeing 'him' as if he were some roaming slaughterer.
Him? Wasting time on pointless massacres?
Brothers, he was already the higher-ups' favorite punching bag; doing that would just be asking for another heavenly opportunity to beat him for no reason.
Ofcourse — Suspicion led to… "misunderstandings."
And misunderstandings left a few poor souls behind him.
As he ventured deeper, he noticed far more travelers than expected. "Someone leaked the news," he muttered, quickly deducing Fairy Lianhua's scheme.
That woman had likely spread rumors of treasure to flood the region with fools, hoping someone else would find it, leaving her to swoop in with Phoenix Hall's resources.
A tidy plan—if you lack vision.
Su Xiaobai had no time for scraps. Armed with the real map, he'd get there first.
The "Thousand Beast Forest" wasn't even a forest, just a range of nine colossal peaks clawing at the heavens. Legends claimed each peak held 'sword intent,' powerful enough to shatter the limits of swordsmanship itself.
Normally, only powerful cultivators ventured here, but today the peaks swarmed with treasure hunters, rogue martial artists, and even mortals, scrambling over rocks and thorns in
With a resigned sigh, he muttered under his breath, "If the heavens don't finish me off, you will."
"Hm?" Xiao Lu knelt before him, carefully applying medicinal paste to his battered knuckles. Her touch was soft, soothingly cool, but her neckline dipped just enough to reveal a tempting peek of soft curves—her "two little rabbits" sneaking a playful wink his way. She made no move to cover it, a faint blush gracing her cheeks as her lips lingered close.
Su Xiaobai's patience wore thin. Trying to keep his mind clear, he groaned, "Can you just… turn it off?"
