Towards Eternity
Ch 358's. Fog Forest & Arrive In Liming City
After Weng Lou's group re-cleansed their tents and other belongings, they continued their way into the Mist Forest to visit a road five hundred meters from their camp site last night.
Their carriage moved and traversed along the depths of the Forest Without a problem for approximately forty minutes before then Pang Baicha stopped the path of their horses right near a large tree that was no stranger to they're.
His face looked serious, as well as those of the others.
This road they had passed twice, and the big tree was also there at the same time meaning that they were moving in a single detour. Even though their surroundings were foggy, yet they could confirm that.
"Illusion Technique.." said Jian Qiang who was meditating and opened his eyes.
He stepped out from inside the carriage and sat down beside Pang Baicha before then starting to flow Qi on his two hands and then moved it.
The fog that was all around them suddenly moved and revolved in the same one move as Jian Qiang's hand movement.
A few seconds later, all the fog in their front lane lifted, revealing a branch of the road that shocked them.
During this time they did not realize the branching of the road was due to the fog around them which turned out to weaken their Indra function.
Along with the disappearance of the fog on the road, a group of people dressed in black jumped down from the top of the tree and surrounded their carriage.
Jian Qiang simply stared at them leisurely, before then something very quickly flew around the carriage, the next second the bodies of those people fell to the ground in lifeless condition.
This was the act of Weng Lou's Life-Attacking Knife without waiting for a signal from Jian Qiang, who had, it had flown by him and killed all those people who were obviously criminals intent on robbing or even killing them.
"The speed of your use is getting better, the chances are that you will be able to make it dart so fast that it cannot be followed by the eyes of people who are below the 5th stage of the Soul Cleansing realm any time soon," jian Qiang praised Weng Lou.
They resumed their journey after a few minutes they took the time to examine all the bodies of those people and took a lot of valuable items such as weapons and some pills, and medicines.
For a villain class like these people, they were already rich as all of these people were only at the Soul Cleansing realm stage 1 to 3 only.
While Weng Lou and the others were passing through the Fog Forest, in Huangwu District, precisely in Liming City, it was seen that the group of Weng Wan and the others had arrived in front of the city gate.
Their journey is arguably very fast because they do not use a horse-drawn carriage, which will certainly be much slower when compared to walking. The average speed of a Martial Practitioner in the realm of Soul Cleansing is 150 kilometers per hour, while horses can only be 80 kilometers per hour.
That's almost twice as much as a horse! The average speed of the Weng Wan group was 200 km per hour because the weakest of them was at the 5th stage of the Soul Cleansing realm, it was already more than twice the center. No wonder they can reach Liming City in not an hour.
As for the horse carriage pulled by two horses such as those belonging to the Weng Lou group, only about 30 kilometers because of the large number of passengers on it. Moreover, the Weng Lou group always stopped to rest their horses, so they took a whole day of travel.
The group of Weng Wan who had just arrived, seemed confused when they saw there were no guards on duty at the city gate, and chose to directly enter the city.
As soon as they entered, their breathing instantly came to a halt as soon as they saw the state of the city that was very chaotic. All the buildings looked as badly damaged as they had just been hit by a storm.
The elder who became the leader of their group told Weng Wan and the others to wait for him at the city gate, while he went to ask what happened to this city.
The man who was an elder from the Weng Ancestral Family walked up and approached a nearby building where several people were working.
"Sorry to bother you, but what happened to this town? Did a big storm happen and destroy it?" asked the man to an old man who was hammering the boards on the hollow walls of the building.
The old man turned his head and looked at the man from the Weng Ancestral Family while narrowing his eyes, he was not a Martial Practitioner, so his vision had already blurred from being eaten by his old age.
"What's? What the hell are you saying? Try repeat!" The old man called out to the man and made him try to hold back his emotions.
Even though he was an elder from the Weng Ancestral Family, it did not mean that he could act at his will, especially in this Liming City there were quite a number of Hidden Martial Practitioners and it might just be much stronger than him.
The man sighed, and patiently repeated his question.
"ah! You must be newcomers! Two nights ago, the city was heavily attacked by a giant, four-legged monster that appeared suddenly in the middle of the city. That monster killed almost half of all the townspeople here. I myself had to lose a son-in-law and granddaughter because of the tragedy" explained the man who then looked glum.
The forehead of the man from the Weng Ancestral Family frowned, and looked surprised instead of playing.
A monster that ravaged a city as grand and as tight as Liming City? It even managed to kill nearly half the population? What kind of monster is that?!
"Can you tell me how the monster killed the inhabitants?" ask the man curiously. He needed to know what exactly caused this destruction.
The old man was silent for a while before then went back to tell the man.
"You might think I'm crazy, but that night, that giant monster rained down on us with three-meter-long spikes of dirt that destroyed anything and anyone who was hit by it.
My daughter-in-law and granddaughter were trying to get out of the city, until one of the thorns struck and destroyed them both.
Not only that, but during the fight between the monster and a few warriors, the monster escaped and stepped on the myriad of people who were trying to leave this Liming City."
The man who was the elder of the Weng Ancestral Family was silent by a thousand languages. He knew what monster this old man before him meant, it was an Earth Dragon!
But how did such a creature appear in the middle of the city all of a sudden?
He currently thought that he needed to find out the truth of this matter, and preached it to the other elders in the Weng Ancestral Family.
This was an important piece of information because an Earth Dragon was extremely rare.
