2621 Mountain Patrolling (2 in 1)

The western part of the Infinite Mining Area was dominated by the ferocious beasts.

The western mining area was essentially not much different from the northern mining area. The only difference was that the ferocious beasts had strong masters and they had lived here for too long and opened up a unique path.

Most of the other places were as dangerous as the northern mining areas. This was also a natural barrier for the ferocious beasts. Otherwise, no matter how many strong masters there were in the ferocious beasts, their number wouldn’t exceed 100,000. Compared to the entire Infinite Mining Area, this number was still small.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be very difficult for them to cross the countless natural barriers and reach the ferocious beasts without the guiding of the ferocious beasts.

Of course, Han Fei was not an ordinary person. Although he knew that the ferocious beasts were in the western mining area, he didn’t know the exact location of the ferocious beasts. The map of the Infinite Mining Area he had obtained previously didn’t involve this area at all but only roughly marked a location.

As for Han Fei, with the help of the Twin Divine Technique, he walked unhurriedly and slowly like when he entered the northern mining area.

The difference was that Han Fei had completely lost interest in those ordinary mine demons. He had too many resources. He couldn’t use up such a large number of resources.

Besides, what he needed now was not resources. As long as he cultivated step by step, his strength would naturally grow. After more than six years of hibernation, he felt that his strength had reached a bottleneck. It wouldn’t be long before he could condense the first Dao Lock.

Han Fei didn’t care if he had a Dao Lock. The existence of a Dao Lock was to limit his strength. However, having a Dao Lock didn’t mean that he was necessarily strong. Without a Dao Lock, one could directly prove his Dao after comprehending the law.

To put it bluntly, the Dao Lock was prepared for those who couldn’t quickly prove Dao. Those who were truly confident and could prove Dao at any time didn’t need the Dao Lock to restrict their strength.

Whether it was someone with a Dao Lock or someone without a Dao Lock, once they proved their Dao, they would be equal.

The reason why the Emperor Sparrow had Dao Locks was that he had swallowed too much ominous power, and Han Fei’s strength was limited to the Sky Opening realm. Otherwise, the Emperor Sparrow wouldn’t have needed to condense Dao Locks at all and could have directly proven Dao.

In the end, it was Han Fei who burdened the Emperor Sparrow.

More than three months later, Han Fei advanced at a turtle speed in the western mining area with his black-mist body, avoiding many dangers, and finally encountered the first non-mine demon creature, which was naturally a ferocious beast.

Han Fei was lost for words. Was it certain that he would meet ferocious beasts in the western mining area? Of course not. The entire western mining area was unimaginably huge.

He was just walking in the direction indicated by the Vast Ocean Navigator when he happened to encounter a ferocious beast.

Was this a coincidence, or was it destined?

Han Fei was here to look for the God Burying Ridge. There might be secrets about the Demon God, or even inheritances, buried here. But on the way to look for the Demon God, he encountered a ferocious beast. This inevitably reminded Han Fei of what Wang Xiaojiu said. He said that the ferocious beasts were arranged to come to the Infinite Mining Area of the East Sea Divine Realm. In other large divine realms, there were also ferocious beasts sent over, but most ferocious beasts actually didn’t know this.

Then, was there a possibility that the ferocious beasts were related to the Demon God?

Han Fei wasn’t sure now, but as long as he kept going down, he would find out sooner or later.

At this moment, what Han Fei saw was a pangolin, or a guy who looked like a pangolin, chewing on a level-six mineral at the moment. Since the other party dared to appear in this remote corner alone, he was definitely not a mediocre person. His strength was in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm.

Perhaps it was because his carapace and scales were very hard that he dared to come so far to hunt.

For the first time, Han Fei saw that the mineral was for eating. Han Fei could see that after the pangolin ate this mineral, the scales on its body were shining. It was not until six hours later that the light of the scales on its body faded away, and then it plunged into the mountain.

“Damn it. Didn’t I just steal a level-eight mineral for eating? It’s been three thousand years. Why am I still not allowed to go back? The Hundred Dragon Mountain Range is such a damn remote place with so few mines. Who would come here?”

The pangolin seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here, and it seemed to have dug many passages in the mountain. It quickly went from one mountain to another, muttering along the way.

“Alas, the resources of the Hundred Dragon Mountain Range are getting scarcer and scarcer. Why are the mine demons not coming?”

“It’s been 3,000 years. Big Luoluo’s anger should have subsided.”

“Alas, why am I always the one who comes out to work? Sooner or later, I’ll reach the perfected Star Transformation Realm. At that time, I won’t listen to her orders… I’m going home. Today, once again I got nothing.”

Han Fei listened to the pangolin muttering to itself along the way. It seemed to be depressed.

Han Fei didn’t intend to attack it. It wasn’t his purpose to attack an unknown person.

Following the pangolin all the way, Han Fei crossed nearly ten thousand mountains and finally saw a clam mountain piled up like a fortress at the intersection of warm currents. Besides, the clams here were all living creatures.

If one took a closer look, they would even find that the clam mountains here were distributed regularly and piled up like beehives. With Han Fei’s keen perception of arrays, when he saw the environment here, he found that this was a big array. And the person who arranged the big array was lying on his back in the water, holding a big clam in his arms and banging it.

“An otter?”

Han Fei was speechless. It turned out that there were only two ferocious beasts here, a pangolin and an otter. At this moment, the pangolin returned and said angrily, “Wang Lanlan, I was patrolling the mountain outside, but you were eating and drinking at home. Aren’t you a little too much?”

Slurp~ Slurp~

The otter didn’t move but just snorted lazily. “Alas, Juejue, why are you still so petty? The Hundred Dragon Mountain Range is not dangerous. It’s just a routine patrol. There’s no need for both of us to do it.”

The pangolin roared angrily, “Don’t call me Juejue. My name is Yu Jue. You made my name sound not masculine at all.”

Wang Lanlan said, “Why do you need to be masculine? Do you want to attract me? I warn you, give up! I won’t consider you unless you can get me back to the clan and build a hundred nests for me.”

Yu Jue was so angry that he laughed. “You think too much. I would rather die alone than fall in love with a lazy bum like you.”

Boom ~

As soon as Yu Jue shouted this, his head was hit by a clam shell, which shattered. Yu Jue, on the other hand, seemed fine and even scratched his head twice with his claws.

However, Yu Jue was still furious. “Wang Lanlan, don’t go too far. If you hadn’t secretly eaten two level-eight minerals, could you have advanced to the Perfected Star Transformation Realm? Just wait. I’m about to advance too. When I advance, I’ll be the first to smash your head.”

Boom ~

Caught off guard, Yu Jue was hit in the head by another clam shell. Wang Lanlan kicked and floated over. She turned to look at Yu Jue and said, “If you keep nagging, get out of my nest.”

“Humph ~”

Yu Jue snorted and didn’t say anything. Instead, he took out a level-six mineral and nibbled on it.

Crunch ~

Wang Lanlan’s eyes lit up when she saw the level-six mineral. She swam all the way over. “Where is the level-six mineral from?”

Yu Jue snorted. “I met two stupid mine demons. They hid in the depths of the Hundred Dragon Mountain Range and were dug out by me.”

Wang Lanlan said, “Two? Give me one.”

Yu Jue immediately said, “No, I already ate one on the way.”

Boom ~

Yu Jue was hit again and immediately said angrily, “Wang Lanlan, if you hit my head again, I won’t let you off.”

Wang Lanlan snorted arrogantly. “Why didn’t you save one mineral for me?! I let you live in my nest for nothing… Hey, Juejue, why don’t we sneak back?”

When Yu Jue heard this, he quickly shook his head like a rattle and said in a muffled voice, “I’m not going back. If Big Luoluo sees us run back like this, she will twist our heads off.”

Wang Lanlan finally turned over and whispered, “Big Luoluo doesn’t have the time to care about us. I heard that she’s so worried now. The Emperor Sparrow has appeared in our Infinite Mining Area. How can she not be worried? I heard that she can’t sleep all day long.”

Yu Jue asked in confusion, “How do you know that?”

Wang Lanlan said, “When you were patrolling the mountain, Wang Xiaojiu came here! He nagged for a long time. He also said that the batch of level-seven minerals he brought back was about to be used up. If we don’t steal some now, we won’t be able to.”

Yu Jue said in shock, “Steal? Wang Lanlan, you still don’t give up stealing? Do you want to guard the Hundred Dragon Mountain Range for another ten thousand years?”

Wang Lanlan said, “It would be a waste not to steal them. Do you think Big Luoluo doesn’t know? She’s just not in the mood to care. Wang Xiaojiu said that Ergou took more than 200 people to steal one piece each.”

Yu Jue was shocked again. “Is Huang Ergou crazy? How can Big Luoluo not know?”

Wang Lanlan said, “She knows! That’s why Huang Ergou only took those who are about to make a breakthrough to steal. Big Luoluo turned a blind eye to it, so they got their way. Although they were sent to guard the Storm Ridge, they succeeded! I heard that Huang Ergou successfully condensed four Dao Locks. What a pity! I only condensed one Dao Lock.”

Yu Jue couldn’t help but exclaim, “Huang Ergou has four Dao Locks? How did he condense them?”

Wang Lanlan said leisurely, “Wang Xiaojiu said that Huang Ergou stole the minerals from him. Wang Xiaojiu was so angry that he chased him and beat him up more than a dozen times.”

Yu Jue was dumbfounded. “I… Wang Xiaojiu came all the way here and didn’t bring a few pieces of level-seven mineral?”

Wang Lanlan said, “Yes! He brought two.”

Yu Jue asked, “Where are they?”

Wang Lanlan said, “I ate them! There are only two pieces in total. Wang Xiaojiu is getting stingier and stingier.”

“Ahhh~”

Yu Jue’s tail soared into the sky, turned into a huge tail, and slapped Wang Lanlan directly. However, before this huge tail could be completely condensed, it was slapped in the head by Wang Lanlan and disappeared.

Yu Jue roared indignantly, “Wang Lanlan, I’m gonna kill you!”

“Slurp~ Slurp~ Ah~”

While stuffing clam meat into her mouth, Wang Lanlan said lazily, “Idiot, why are you angry at me? We have to think of a way to go back and steal some more minerals. At most, we’ll be punished for guarding the Storm Ridge like Ergou. Anyway, I’m tired of staying in the Hundred Dragons Mountain Range. If it were the Storm Ridge, there would be more people.”

Yu Jue was speechless. He said in a muffled voice again, “But it has only been three thousand years since Big Luoluo sent us to patrol the mountain. We’re supposed to patrol the mountain for five thousand years.”

Wang Lanlan said, “Heh! If we don’t go back, the next time we go back, Big Luoluo might be replaced by the Emperor Sparrow. In my opinion, Big Luoluo doesn’t have the mood to care about us at all now. This is a good time to slip back. At most, we’ll be scolded by her! Besides, you’re only one step away from the Perfected Star Transformation Realm. With your pure Prehistoric Ferocious Beast bloodline, with some more resources, you might be able to condense a Dao Lock in a few hundred years. Isn’t it better than patrolling the lousy mountain? Only one or two mine demons can be met several years here. Who can stand it?”

Yu Jue hesitated for a long time before saying, “Then, are we really slipping back?”

Wang Lanlan said, “It’s up to you. Anyway, I’ve condensed a Dao Lock. But you haven’t reached the perfected Star Transformation Realm yet.”

Looking at the simple-minded Yu Jue and then at the shrewd Wang Lanlan, Han Fei thought to himself, The ferocious beasts do seem interesting.

As for who Big Luoluo was, she must be a leader-level powerhouse among the ferocious beasts, probably a Monarch. Otherwise, how could she casually arrange for these ferocious beasts to stay or leave?

However, Wang Xiaojiu had been here recently, which was something he didn’t expect. If Wang Xiaojiu had been here, it meant that the camp of the ferocious beasts might not be far from here!

Of course, Wang Xiaojiu was fast and naggy. Maybe he was really bored and wandered around. Cats were like this, jumping around and excited for no reason.

Han Fei thought that since he had found the ferocious beasts, could he not go and take a look? This was God’s will! According to the personality of the Emperor Sparrow, if he really proved his Dao, he would definitely take down the ferocious beasts in the Infinite Mining Area. There was no need to hide this.

There was nothing wrong with their worries. The Emperor Sparrow had long been tempted, but his strength hadn’t been enough yet and he was still lying low. Not only did he want to subdue these ferocious beasts, but his goal was the entire ferocious beasts.

However, it might not be a bad thing for him in the medium to long term if the Emperor Sparrow could subdue the ferocious beasts. There were not many humans left in the entire Sea Realm, and everyone knew that the human race was weak.

The rise of the human race was definitely not something that could be achieved overnight. Puppet City could only provide a place of refuge for the human race, but billions of humans couldn’t just be packed in Puppet City.

Therefore, it would be great if more major factions could form an alliance with the human race.

However, he was hesitant to go to the ferocious beasts directly. They had several Monarchs, and the strongest of them was at the immortal-level. If he went in openly, they might attack him.

At this moment, Yu Jue was wondering if he should go back. After all, he wasn’t as carefree as Wang Lanlan who could stay anywhere.

Yu Jue was about to argue with Wang Lanlan again, hoping that Wang Lanlan would continue to egg him on for a while. Then maybe he would make up his mind.

However, a voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

“Stop dilly-dallying. You’re such a timid pangolin. You’re tempted but don’t dare to do it. So what if you’ve reached the Perfected Star Transformation Realm? Even if you have five Dao Locks, can you prove your Dao?”

Buzz!

At that moment, Yu Jue instantly shrank into a ball, all the scales on his body stood up, and his hair stood on end.

Wang Lanlan disappeared in an instant and stood in a corner of the clam mountain, which should be the array eye.

Han Fei, on the other hand, showed up without hesitation. After he showed up, the pangolin was shivering because the person who spoke was standing on him.

Besides, with the terrifying suppressing pressure, he felt that he might be crushed to death if he moved.

Bam! Bam!

Han Fei kicked Yu Jue’s head twice and said, “Look at you. If I were you, I would have gone back long ago. Since Big Luoluo is so lax with you, what are you afraid of?”

At this moment, Wang Lanlan turned into a human and looked like a girl. She held a branch in his hand as a weapon, looking quite valiant.

She shouted, “Who are you? How did you get in?”

Han Fei pointed at the pangolin and said, “I came in with him!”

Wang Lanlan shouted coldly, “That’s impossible. How can I not know you’ve entered my nest?”

Han Fei was too lazy to explain. He just shrugged and said, “I mean you no harm, really. Otherwise, how could this fool come back alive?”

With that, Han Fei walked down from the pangolin, and the latter tried to burrow into the ground. However, Han Fei casually grabbed his tail and said, “Stop running! Get down.”

Activating the Great Dao of Strength, Han Fei slapped Yu Jue’s head, and the latter fell to the ground, setting off surging ripples.

On the other side, Wang Lanlan grew anxious. “Let him go, or we’ll have to fight to the death. My Lazy Bum Array is not a joke. At least I can make you die with me.”

Wang Lanlan just bit the bullet and bragged. Make this guy die with her? How could a terrifying existence who could sneak into her nest without being noticed by her at all possibly die with her?

Han Fei said, “Your array is not bad, but I’ve been here for a long time. If I hadn’t studied it thoroughly, would I have come to see you?”

As he talked, the big array began to tremble, and a water sword appeared in every corner of the big array. At some point, the Infinity Water had penetrated into the foundation of the big array.

If Han Fei detonated the Infinity Water at this moment, even if he couldn’t completely break through the array, it wouldn’t be able to trap him.

“Tweet ~”

With a flash between Han Fei’s eyebrows, the Emperor Sparrow soared into the sky. The Emperor Sparrow stood on one of the array foundations of the Clam Mountain, glanced at Yu Jue and Wang Lanlan, and said softly, “Two pure-blooded Prehistoric Ferocious Beasts? That’s rare. Why don’t you kneel down to me?”

Buzz!

Whether it was Yu Jue or Wang Lanlan, they felt as if they were struck by lightning. There was a thunderclap in their minds, directly stunning the two of them.

Yu Jue’s body trembled crazily, and he was horrified. “M-Master E-Emperor Sparrow?”

“Gulp ~”

Wang Lanlan’s eyelids were also jumping crazily at this moment. While swallowing her saliva, she thought about the news of the reappearance of the Emperor Sparrow. I’m doomed. Why did the Emperor Sparrow appear in this damn place?

At this moment, Wang Lanlan didn’t dare to run. Firstly, she couldn’t run away. She had already felt that something seemed to have changed in the array. Secondly, her bloodline was directly suppressed, and her strength suddenly decreased by 30%. In such a state, she didn’t even dare to think about running away under the nose of the Emperor Sparrow.

Wang Lanlan hurriedly said, “Wang Lanlan greets Senior Emperor Sparrow. Senior, please don’t lower yourself to our level. One of us is a pangolin, and the other is an otter. Our meat is not delicious. It’s both sour…”

Han Fei saw that Wang Lanlan was almost crying. He glanced at the Emperor Sparrow speechlessly and said, “Hey, that’s enough, alright? Look at how scared she is.”

The Emperor Sparrow snorted and said indifferently, “I don’t have the habit of eating ferocious beasts. The two of you, come to greet me.”

How could Yu Jue and Wang Lanlan dare to disobey him? That was a bloodline suppression. The moment the Emperor Sparrow appeared, they knew that they couldn’t escape.

It had to be known that among the ferocious beasts, only one or two out of a hundred were pure-blooded. Unless their bloodline was awakened, it was almost impossible for them to return to their pure-blooded state.

Therefore, pure-blooded ferocious beasts had a very high status among the ferocious beasts. Furthermore, because their bloodline was pure, their cultivation potential was extremely high. Under normal circumstances, their bloodline could directly suppress non- pure-blooded ferocious beasts.

Now, they finally experienced the feeling of their bloodline being suppressed. It was a fear that originated from their hearts. This fear had nothing to do with their Dao hearts. It was instinctive fear.

If they had already proven Dao, this instinctive fear would still exist, but at that time, they could completely suppress this instinctive fear.

The Emperor Sparrow landed on Han Fei’s shoulder, and like two elementary school students, Yu Jue and Wang Lanlan transformed into humans and stood in line respectfully.

The Emperor Sparrow said, “Tell me, who is in charge of you now? I mean, which one is the strongest among you?”

Yu Jue’s face was pale and he didn’t dare to speak. Wang Lanlan was a little stronger than Yu Jue, but her voice trembled. “Seven, Seven Ultimate Divine Spider… Lord, Lord Emperor Sparrow, we, we are all good ferocious beasts.”

“Seven Ultimate Divine Spiders? Humph~”

The Emperor Sparrow raised his head high and looked sideways at the two of them disdainfully. “A ferocious beast is a ferocious beast. How can there be a good ferocious beast? Since you are ferocious beasts, you should show your true nature. Are the two of you descendants of the Thousand Wit Otter and the North Dark Pangolin?”

Wang Lanlan and Yu Jue nodded repeatedly. As long as they could be related to their ancestors, they just needed to nod. Besides, what the Emperor Sparrow said was true.

The Emperor Sparrow’s attitude softened slightly. “No wonder, one is foxy and the other is hopelessly stupid.”

Han Fei couldn’t help but look at the Emperor Sparrow. “Is the Seven Ultimate Divine Spider very powerful?”

The Emperor Sparrow nodded slightly. “A fully-grown Seven Ultimate Divine Spider is indeed not weak. They were born with seven laws. It can be said that they have the most combat skills among the Prehistoric Ferocious Beasts, and they are also extremely intelligent. When I was the king of ferocious beasts, I had one Seven Ultimate Divine Spider among my eight generals.”

Han Fei’s heart did a flip. It seemed to be quite powerful. One had to know that the Emperor Sparrow used to be able to fight gods alone and controlled countless ferocious beasts. To be ranked among the eight generals under him, it was probably a Great Monarch-level powerhouse.

Han Fei didn’t feel much when he heard this, but Wang Lanlan and Yu Jue felt that their heads were buzzing. It turned out that Big Luoluo’s bloodline was so strong? They had stolen a lot of Big Luoluo’s things in the past.

The Emperor Sparrow glanced at the two of them sharply and said, “Now, I’ll give you a chance to serve me. Remember, there’s only this one chance. If I prove my Dao in the future, you might not be qualified to serve me.”

When Yu Jue heard this, he hesitated.

However, when Wang Lanlan heard this, she immediately replied, “I, Wang Lanlan, swear with my bloodline, am willing to follow Lord Emperor Sparrow and never betray you. If I violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will punish me.”

Wang Lanlan directly took out a wisp of her essence blood. Han Fei immediately felt that the drop of blood contained mysterious Dao Patterns.

The essence blood turned into a Dao, melted in the sky and quickly disappeared.

The Emperor Sparrow nodded slightly. “You’re quite smart to make a bloodline oath.”

Han Fei glanced at the Emperor Sparrow, who said indifferently, “Different from other races, whether it’s a ferocious beast or a divine beast, bloodline is extremely important. All the inheritances are in it. Once you swear on this, if you betray me, your bloodline will be severed and your inheritance will no longer exist.”

After that, Wang Lanlan kicked Yu Jue and said, “Idiot, swear! It’s your blessing to be able to follow Lord Emperor Sparrow.”

Only then did Yu Jue realize what was going on. He hurriedly said, “I, Yu Jue, swear with my bloodline that I’m willing to follow Lord Emperor Sparrow and never betray you. If I violate this oath, I’ll be executed by the heavens and the earth.”

Similarly, a drop of essence blood containing Dao runes melted into the sky.

Han Fei was surprised. It was so easy to subdue the two? Sure enough, the Emperor Sparrow’s name was very useful. With just a few words, two pure-blooded beasts had pledged loyalty to him.

The Emperor Sparrow said, “This person’s name is Han Fei. Seeing him is like seeing me. Follow him for the time being. Well, Han Fei, give them some benefits. It’s impossible for me to not give my lackeys anything.”

Han Fei thought to himself, They’re your lackeys, but you want me to give them benefits? Fine, since you’re my spiritual beast, I’ll do it for you.

Han Fei thought for a moment and realized that it would be too stingy to give away level-seven minerals for the two pure-blood ferocious beasts. He took out two level-eight minerals and threw them out. “One for each of you.”

“Hiss ~”

Yu Jue and Wang Lanlan’s eyes lit up. A level-eight mineral! They had secretly eaten one and had been punished to patrol the mountain for 5,000 years, but now it had become a gift?

Wang Lanlan was overjoyed. “Thank you, Master Emperor Sparrow. Thank you, Master Han Fei.”

Just as Yu Jue was thanking him, the Emperor Sparrow said, “Give another one to this North Dark Pangolin. He’s about to make a breakthrough. With another level-eight mineral, he can quickly stabilize his cultivation base and save at least a thousand years of cultivation.”

Yu Jue was overjoyed to hear that. He hurriedly shouted, “Thank you, Master Emperor Sparrow. Thank you, Master Han Fei.”

Upon seeing this, Wang Lanlan secretly glanced at the Emperor Sparrow, who said, “A level-eight mineral can’t help you condense two Dao Locks. Besides, whether you have a Dao Lock or not has nothing to do with your strength. Being my lackey is already an opportunity for you.”

Wang Lanlan hurriedly bowed. “I dare not think too much about it. I’ll listen to your arrangements, Master Emperor Sparrow.”
