Chapter 178
The Beast King's Forest
After some time had passed, all the qualified families arrived at the summit of the transportation array.
From this exact location, everyone would be transported to the next infernal battlefield, a place where there was no room for the weak and no mercy for those who hesitated.
The Luo Clan stepped forward steadily, led by Yun Hai with confident strides. Arthur walked on his left, Zhuo Fan on his right, while the rest of the soldiers followed behind them, their faces carrying expressions of anticipation and caution.
Arthur noticed Ning'er approaching him and Zhuo Fan. She began speaking quietly with Zhuo Fan while he watched the scene in silence.
Then suddenly, he heard a voice he knew very well.
"Brother Arthur."
Arthur turned toward the source of the voice and saw Moon Fu standing there, looking at him with her bright eyes.
"Yes?" he replied calmly.
"I'm going too."
Arthur's expression immediately changed, and he spoke in a firm tone that barely concealed his concern.
"Little Moon, you can't go. It's a dangerous place, filled with people and beasts that are not to be underestimated."
Moon Fu pouted childishly and replied stubbornly,
"I'm strong now. I can protect myself. And even if I encounter danger... you'll be there, Brother."
Arthur let out a deep sigh before speaking in a softer voice.
"But I won't be everywhere, Little Moon. Why don't you stay here and watch the battles instead?"
She shook her head stubbornly.
"No. I'm going, and I won't change my mind. I'll enter with Elder Jiu. Goodbye."
"Moon, wait—"
But before he could finish speaking, she had already run off lightly, a small stubborn smile on her lips.
Arthur continued staring after her, a strange feeling pressing against his chest.
'Damn it... why do I feel danger? What's happening? Why do I feel like I've overlooked something... or underestimated it?'
The pain in his heart intensified for a moment.
He raised his head and looked toward the endless blue sky above, as though it concealed secrets he did not wish to hear.
"It's really been a long time..."
|Yes.|
A faint smile appeared on his face as he listened to Cain's voice inside his mind.
At that moment, Ancestor Feng activated the Eighth-Grade Transportation Array and began explaining the rules clearly.
The array would transport a person into a sealed location, and the only way to leave was by finding the correct passage connected to the matching element and the proper key.
Inside that place, an Advancement Elixir had been placed as the primary objective.
As for the location...
it was the Beast King's Mountain.
As the array activated, the families entered one after another, swallowed by spirals of light.
Arthur moved forward without hesitation and entered as well.
For a brief moment during the transportation, he felt a strange peace, a sensation of emptiness and tranquility.
Then everything suddenly changed.
A few seconds later, he found himself standing within Beast King's Mountain.
Vast forests stretched endlessly in every direction.
Gigantic trees blocked out the sky.
The cries of spiritual beasts echoed throughout the region.
And the scent of blood...
was everywhere, so dense it almost felt tangible.
This was Beast King's Mountain.
Only moments passed before a Fourth-Level Spiritual Beast charged toward him.
A gigantic crocodile, its body covered in tough scales, emanating a terrifying aura.
Arthur smiled calmly.
Without a hint of concern, he raised his right hand and delivered a single strike to the crocodile's head.
Boom!
The beast's head exploded completely, and its lifeless body collapsed to the ground.
Arthur did not even stop.
He continued walking forward with steady steps, searching for the Luo Clan...
and for Little Moon.
|New Mission|
Find the Morphing Liquid.
The Morphing Liquid is a rare substance formed beneath a flowing river over millions of years.
Its hardness is comparable to the Diamond Sands used in weapon forging.
However, its true value lies elsewhere...
It can be refined within the body to grant the ability of transformation.
(Of course, additional materials are required, but the Morphing Liquid is the foundation.)
Time Limit: One Hour
Reward: Morphing Liquid + 10,000 Points + Additional Reward
Failure: None|
'Oh... this is actually wonderful.
I already have a few interesting ideas for this thing.'
Arthur smiled before shooting forward at incredible speed toward the location indicated by Cain.
After a short while, he noticed a massive blue serpent standing motionless before a small pit at the entrance of a cave.
Its aura was dense and terrifying.
|Seventh-Level Spiritual Beast
River Crosser — Venom Dragon
The blood of a Water Dragon flows within it.|
'Oh... then it will make an excellent meal for Astaroth.'
A calm smile appeared on Arthur's face as he looked at the Venom Dragon.
"Astaroth."
Astaroth moved gently around Arthur's neck, wrapping around him like a living shadow.
Arthur smiled and gently patted his head.
"You have a new meal... why don't you enjoy it?"
He pointed toward the Venom Dragon.
Drool immediately began dripping from Astaroth's mouth.
Then he turned his head back toward Arthur, as though asking for confirmation:
Is it really mine? You won't change your mind?
Arthur nodded with a smile.
Astaroth's body suddenly trembled.
Then he leaped from Arthur's neck.
Arthur floated in the air, supported by the pressure of magical power beneath his feet.
Astaroth landed near the Venom Dragon and quietly vanished, concealing himself with remarkable skill.
Meanwhile, Arthur looked toward the small cave.
He raised his right hand and condensed a sphere of wind energy.
Blue electrical sparks danced around it.
He smiled calmly before throwing the sphere far away.
A few seconds later...
BOOOOM!
A violent explosion shook the area from the direction where the sphere had landed.
The Venom Dragon immediately turned toward the source of the explosion, its attention completely diverted.
At that exact moment, Arthur moved at an invisible speed, heading directly toward the cave.
