My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 743 - 110

On the sixth morning since departing from the gathering place, the sky was enveloped in faint dark clouds, and the pale sun rose between the rugged snowy mountains, its dim light failing to bring any warmth.

The howling cold wind persisted, sweeping snow through the valleys like a dense fog that shrouded everything below the mountain’s waist.

"Yo?"

Two small deer, with ice horns on their heads, alertly raised their heads, their round eyes tightly focusing on the extending snowstorm, their small ears occasionally trembling.

Suddenly, as if sensing danger, they bounded away with their slender limbs, disappearing into the snowy mountains.

Boom!

The snow on the ground trembled slightly as more than twenty large figures appeared faintly through the snowstorm.

"Gurgle..."

Yaya walked to the spot where the two small deer had been and stopped, tilting his head in confusion as he looked at the messy, overturned snow, then lowered his head and nudged it with his nose.

A strong gust of wind stirred up the snow, revealing several glistening fruits.

Yaya cocked his head at the fruits, recognizing them as the frost fruits that Shao Zifeng had tricked him into eating.

The little guy’s eyes revealed a sly look as he first stared at the frost fruit with his nose, rolling it in a thick layer of snow, then carefully bit into the fruit with his teeth, planning to deceive Shao Zifeng into eating it.

Because his vision was blocked by the protruding rocks on his body, Shao Zifeng didn’t notice Yaya’s small movements; he looked ahead at the increasingly distant crowd, stretched out his hand, and patted Yaya’s neck, urging, "Yaya, what are you doing?"

Crack!

The fully focused Yaya shivered, his teeth instantly shattering the frost fruit.

The icy juice burst in his mouth, freezing Yaya in place; his eyes filled with sorrow as his body trembled violently.

"Roar!!"

A rough and domineering dragon’s roar echoed through the mountains, startling countless birds and small beasts.

Kadu and the others stopped, looking back warily. When they saw Yaya, they were stunned; the little guy had glistening frost hanging from his nostrils and mouth, shivering violently with every step he took.

"Pfft—"

Cam covered his mouth and chuckled softly, and the other warriors also let out hearty laughter. Having spent time together, they clearly knew that each other’s physiques held huge surprises; it seemed this guy must have accidentally eaten something with intense coldness.

Kadu pursed her lips, struggling to hold back her laughter, and after waiting for Shao Zifeng to catch up, she lightly coughed, "Let’s keep moving, we’re almost there."

They continued along the mountain road, which was flanked by steep cliffs, growing increasingly rugged.

Leading the way was a Cobobite beast, braving the piercing cold wind with difficulty as it moved forward.

Shao Zifeng’s hands and feet were ice-cold; the warmth Big Gold Tooth and Red Flame Beast Yaya had provided was weakening in the strong low temperatures, making his exposed skin feel as though it were being sliced by knives.

The snow mixed with the cold wind landed on him, on his hair, melting and then rapidly freezing again, taking away a great deal of heat.

Suddenly, the cold wind disappeared instantaneously, and the not-so-warm sun shone on Shao Zifeng, bringing him a trace of warmth.

He rotated his stiff neck to look up, finding himself surrounded by mountains.

The towering solo wind shielded the cold wind, and the hastily assembled mountains held the snowstorm below their waists, resembling a majestic and beautiful sea of clouds.

Beneath this mountain range, a vast valley unfolded before his eyes.

Steam rose from the valley, shrouded in a faint mist, with a huge square in front of a stone gate constructed from three giant slabs. A massive beast’s skull with eight fierce horns hung on the lintel, exuding a fierce aura.

In the center of the square was a high platform, faintly carved with abstract fish-shaped totem patterns.

Kadu and the others looked at the valley before them, their eyes revealing excitement, itching to rush down immediately, yet they clearly knew that this place was no longer their original clan, and they couldn’t even be sure if there were any living people left.

For a clan that had housed nearly a hundred thousand people, it was far too deserted.

Kadu and Shao Zifeng exchanged glances, "Everyone, split up and infiltrate, and pay attention to safety."

"Yes!"

The group dismounted from the back of the Sci-Co Beast, carrying bows and spears, and divided into eight teams, three people each.

Kadu looked at the remaining Shao Zifeng and said in an awkward tone, "Are we, everything?"

After a moment of thought, Shao Zifeng understood her meaning. He pointed at himself, indicating he could go alone.

Kadu gave him a deep look, not insisting further, and began to infiltrate the valley below on her own.

Watching the backs of the group, Shao Zifeng took Yaya back into his pet beast space. He walked to the shadows of nearby rocks and gently twisted the ring on his hand, and then his whole body disappeared into the shadows.

(Shadow Walker: Once activated, allows the bearer to move through the shadows.)

Shao Zifeng lowered his head, only able to vaguely see a silhouette, his body feeling as if it was lifted by some invisible force, becoming weightless.

Indeed, the correct usage of this ring was to flexibly switch the "Host Spirit" beast.

Compared to the steep outer walls of the valley, the inside was relatively gentle, thankfully numerous rocks on the slope allowed Shao Zifeng to quickly leap through the shadows.

Creak.

Accompanied by a quiet click, the door of a stone house near the slope noiselessly opened.

Shao Zifeng’s figure emerged from the void, carefully surveying the somewhat messy house. The table was covered with a thick layer of dust, the deep blue bloodstains on the ground and walls were already dry, the shriveled dried meat, the collapsed wooden bed—clearly, a battle had taken place here a long time ago.

Seeing no further clues, Shao Zifeng again twisted the ’Night Cat Shadow Ring’, and his body disappeared within the room.

...

Kadu and two others hurriedly moved between the modest homes; the emptiness within the clan heavily dampened their spirits, even the usually talkative Ilya became very silent.

At that moment, Cam stopped in his tracks, staring vacantly at a small house.

Kadu turned around, following Cam’s gaze, and whispered softly with pursed lips, "Let’s go in and check."

Cam hesitated for a moment, then walked heavily towards the cottage.

Kadu shot a look to Ilya, and the two silently followed behind Cam.

Standing in front of the wooden door, Cam hesitated without moving; Kadu came forth to comfort, "It’s alright, your parents must be fine."

Cam nodded gratefully and pushed open the crude wooden door.

Creak—

The sore sound of friction was accompanied by falling snow dust floating in the air, and a small, shriveled mummy fell at Cam’s feet.

Looking at the grotesquely twisted little face, Cam’s body softened, and he knelt on the ground.

She clasped the mummy tightly in her trembling hands, biting her own hand hard with her teeth, struggling not to cry out loud.

Tears fell from beneath her mask, drop by drop onto the mummy’s dark, shriveled blue skin.

Kadu couldn’t bear to watch her, crouching down gently taking Cam’s head in her arms. She wanted to comfort her with a few words but upon opening her mouth, found herself at a loss for what to say.

Ilya, agitated, walked aside and vented her frustration by kicking a stone stump, "Damn it!"

"Mom!!!"

At that moment, a heartbroken cry came from not far away.

The cry shattered the silence at the gathering place; Kadu abruptly stood and exited the house, her gaze intensifying toward the direction of the sound.

She could feel something in the dark was beginning to awaken.

On the other side, Shao Zifeng discovered a long, dark tunnel beneath the high platform of the square. The tunnel spiraled downward, the dampness mixed with a musty stench of decay.

Due to the absence of any light, the "Shadow Walker" abilities thrived like a fish in water, and every scratch on the tunnel walls was visible.

About five minutes later, a stone door blocked his path, and Shao Zifeng showed a look of surprise.

For the carvings on the stone door were exquisitely detailed, utterly unlike the rugged style he had encountered recently, even different from any style he had seen before.

Shao Zifeng reached out to push it, but the seamless stone door did not budge.

He then stepped back a few paces and drew the whalebone dagger from his waist, striking at the stone door.

Ding!

Sparks scattered everywhere, the crisp sound echoing through the tunnel.

Shao Zifeng retracted his knife in surprise, for not a single mark was left on the stone door.

After looking around and ensuring there were no traps, Shao Zifeng summoned Qiuqiu.

"Ying~"

The long-missed Qiuqiu fluttered its small wings, plunging into Shao Zifeng’s arms, rubbing its little face against his clothes, mumbling as if blaming Shao Zifeng for not playing with it.

Shao Zifeng petted the little creature’s head, "Qiuqiu, be good, try and see if you can open this stone door."

"Ying?"

Qiuqiu looked at the stone door with interest, flew around it in a circle, tapping it with its little paws, and the stone door emitted a crisp sound.

Then, the little creature hovered in the middle of the stone door, took a deep breath, and flames danced in its eyes.

Boom!

A burst of firelight exploded from its little paws, the intense heat causing the air to slightly distort.

"Ying!"

The little creature’s eyes grew brighter as it clenched its little paws and smashed them onto the stone door.

Boom rumble!

The moment it touched the stone door, the flames on its paws burst violently, and the entire tunnel seemed to ignite, as furious flames rushed toward the exit.

The explosion left Shao Zifeng stunned, and he cursed inwardly, who knew this place would trigger a marsh gas explosion.

Rattle!

Debris and soil fell from above, and Shao Zifeng’s expression changed as cracks spread within the tunnel, seemingly at risk of collapsing at any moment.

"Ying!"

At that moment, the tender voice of Qiuqiu rang out, and Shao Zifeng looked over to find that fire elements were spreading through the patterns on the stone door, from the point where Qiuqiu had struck, spreading across the entire door.

Boom rumble!

The dull sounds kept coming, with rocks beginning to roll behind him, and the sounds of them colliding getting closer.

Just as the tunnel was about to collapse, the stone door’s carvings were completely filled with fire elements.

Watching the stone door slowly pull open, Shao Zifeng clutched Qiuqiu and dove through it.

Bang bang bang!

Several large boulders rolled down and piled up against the stone door, sealing the entrance as fine sand trickled through the cracks, thoroughly burying the entire tunnel.

"Cough cough..."

Shao Zifeng, covered in dust and ash, climbed out from the sand and stones, coughing violently.

Qiuqiu sat on the ground with legs crossed, its tiny eyes darting around, observing the scene behind the stone door.

As the dust slowly settled, Shao Zifeng felt his breathing ease considerably. He wiped the dust from his face, preparing to get up from the ground.

Clatter!

As he made a move, a crisp sound of metal clashing came from beneath him. Shao Zifeng paused momentarily. He brushed away the thick dust with his hand, and a streak of gold emerged from between the dirt.

"Wow..."

Seeing the ground covered in Gold Coins, Shao Zifeng was stunned. He continued to dig through the dust, and the number of Gold Coins increased, mixed among them were some jewels and ornaments he had never seen before.

Curious, Qiuqiu picked up a Gold Coin, bit it, and then indifferently dropped it back on the ground.

Shao Zifeng slowly stopped his movements, realizing he was sitting on a thick layer of Gold Coins, the quantity enough to numb him.

"Meow!"

At that moment, Qiuqiu, who had been observing the surroundings, made another discovery and tugged at Shao Zifeng’s sleeve with its little paw.

"Qiuqiu, what’s wrong?"

Shao Zifeng, somewhat slow to react, shifted his gaze from the Gold Coins.

"Mew~"

Qiuqiu pointed with its little paw towards the wall. freёwebnoѵel.com

Following its direction, Shao Zifeng saw that the wall was covered with murals.

The murals were not very artistic or sophisticated; the lines were crude, as though they had been carved by a child with a knife.

The very first mural next to the closed stone door depicted an irregular sphere, filled with uneven lines resembling the abstract map of a world.

The second mural confirmed Shao Zifeng’s guess, focusing on a section of the sphere with mountains, rivers, forests, and a majestic city-state.

The third mural zoomed in further on the city-state depicted in the second.

The city-state was established on the peak of a mountain, a grand spire conspicuously standing at its center, with a creature resembling a dragon, having three pairs of feather-like wings, proudly perched atop the spire.

Countless roughly drawn people knelt around the spire, with an emphasis on the items in front of them—piled up distinctly as countless Gold Coins.

Seeing this, Shao Zifeng glanced at Qiuqiu and thought, "Look at other dragons, they fancy Gold Coins and jewels, why is ours such a drag."

Qiuqiu blinked its eyes, clueless.

Shao Zifeng stroked its little head, "I was thinking how economical our Qiuqiu is."

"Mew~"

Is he praising me~

Qiuqiu happily rubbed against Shao Zifeng’s large hand, having absolute faith in his words.

Holding Qiuqiu in his arms, Shao Zifeng continued looking down the mural.

The fourth mural was rather sloppy. Something resembling the sun in the sky was missing a piece, several roughly sketched humanoid creatures floated above the city-state, facing off against a Six-winged Dragon that had taken flight, a battle imminent.

Seeing this, Shao Zifeng’s breath quickened, he vaguely guessed what this place depicted.

This place might not belong to the Fog Whale Clan but is buried underground for thousands of years. Seeing this, Shao Zifeng’s breath quickened, he vaguely guessed what this place depicted.
