MJWCATFPITWOC Chapter 5
by Volare“It must be him who stole it, no more words, push him down!” The boy’s voice was full of anger.
Behind the young Shen Yucheng was a huge garbage dump. Facing the approaching group of boys his age, he could only retreat step by step, begging, “It wasn’t me, I went to—”
Before he could finish speaking, his chest was pushed hard, and he widened his eyes in disbelief as his body fell from the height.
The boys above revealed triumphant smiles and turned to leave.
.
Shen Yucheng suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath, his back soaked with sweat. He held his forehead, annoyed: Why did I dream of that kind of thing at this time?
He adjusted his breathing and looked up. The surrounding environment forcefully entered his sight. All around were caves made of ice crystals, with ice pillars hanging down like stalactites. The place was wide and empty. He quietly lay in the center.
“Where is this?”
He remembered being pulled down into the cave by the giant beast just now… The fierce appearance of the giant beast floated into his mind. He shivered, glanced around the ice cave, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he didn’t see the giant beast for the time being. There was a fork in the road ahead. Instead of staying in place, it was better to look for a glimmer of hope.
What’s more, in the moment before he fainted, he clearly heard Mo Yifeng and Li Juemu’s conversation. Although he felt a little unhappy in his heart, he never expected others to save him. Entrusting one’s life to others is disrespectful to oneself.
He had deeply understood this principle at the age of ten.
He stood up, feeling a sharp pain all over his body. It didn’t seem like an external injury, but rather a heart-wrenching pain with every movement. Enduring the pain, he limped in one direction. Each step felt like tearing nerves, several times more painful than Cheng Mufei’s group beating.
After walking for a while, he heard a series of heavy impacts, making the hair on his body stand on end. His back stiffened. He couldn’t possibly forget this familiar sound.
Thinking of the speculation in his mind, his scalp went numb. But if it was true, he had to find a place to hide now, or he would surely die. But looking around, there wasn’t a hiding place, not even a shelter.
As the sound of heavy impacts gradually became clearer, Shen Yucheng looked up and swallowed.
Soon, a group of giant beasts appeared, walking in unison. Counting them, there were more than a dozen. They didn’t notice anything unusual and marched in the opposite direction.
The road returned to calm. “Crack!” The sound of ice cracking rang out. Several black lines appeared on the originally smooth ice wall. After a few seconds, the ice wall completely shattered, and Shen Yucheng patted the ice shards off his body and walked out.
He was frightened out of his wits. Looking at the direction the giant beasts left, he couldn’t help but wonder what this place was for.
Hanji Mountain is extremely cold all year round. Except for the great power cultivators who can protect themselves with spiritual energy, no one else dares to go. And the great powers are not interested in this place where ancient fierce beasts are recorded in ancient books, so no one comes to verify it.
If Shen Yucheng hadn’t been pulled into the cave by the giant beast, probably no one in the world would know about this place, and that it held several giant beasts.
Fortunately, Shen Yucheng was quick-witted just now and used the characteristics of the cave to forcibly knock down an ice pillar, hiding behind the pillar close to the wall. He just didn’t expect the wall to merge with the ice pillar, nearly burying him inside. Facing so many giant beasts head-on, even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would probably have a hard fight.
Daring not to think too much, since there were so many giant beasts in the cave, a few might pop out at any time. His current body couldn’t last long either, so he had to find an exit as soon as possible.
He didn’t know how long he walked or how many turns he took. Shen Yucheng’s physical strength gradually declined. Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed at the end of the road.
Shen Yucheng raised his hand to block the dazzling light. Before his eyes was a huge tombstone. The surroundings were empty, making the tombstone even more abrupt.
There was no name on the tombstone, only a sword emitting a silvery-white luster, which was obviously extraordinary. Shen Yucheng walked closer and found the words “Baili” engraved on the sword, which should be the name of the sword.
At this moment, the cave suddenly began to vibrate.
Shen Yucheng was startled, worried that the cave would collapse. Suddenly, dense patterns gradually appeared on the ice wall. He guessed that these should be some kind of words, but he couldn’t understand them.
Suddenly, the patterns on the wall seemed to sense something. The words broke away from the wall and turned into a beam of light rushing towards Shen Yucheng.
His already painful body was instantly healed, and then a large amount of information forcefully entered his mind. Shen Yucheng blankly looked at the words on the wall, and suddenly he could understand them, and all the content was imprinted in his mind.
After a moment, he came back to his senses, looked at the tombstone, and unconsciously scribbled words on it. The cave shook violently again.
.
“Brother Mo, is this really okay?”
Mo Yifeng was lying flat on the ground hundreds of meters away, looking at the sky with a helpless expression.
Beneath him was a black mark dozens of meters long, shaped as if something had forcibly dragged it. If he hadn’t protected himself with spiritual power, he would probably have been bleeding from his head long ago.
If the people of the sect saw him like this at this moment, they would definitely laugh their heads off. A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, so embarrassed.
“Brother Mo, are you alright?” Li Juemu was full of worry. Yan Quanye next to him had already fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
The moment Shen Yucheng was pulled into the cave by the giant beast, Mo Yifeng was dragged into the ground by an irresistible force, sinking rapidly until he stopped at a depth of hundreds of meters. Throughout the entire process, he felt as if his body weighed a thousand pounds.
For two days, Mo Yifeng maintained this posture. He knew very well that this was because of the special connection between him and Shen Yucheng. The two could not be more than a hundred meters apart. Therefore, when Shen Yucheng fell into the ground, Mo Yifeng was also implicated and dragged down.
“Ah, you’re moving again, is the beauty walking below?”
Mo Yifeng was lying underground. At the beginning, the other party didn’t move at all. He was afraid that something would happen to Shen Yucheng inside. But just now, he felt a force dragging him forward. It’s just that there was no road underground, so he had to use spiritual power to open a road above his head before he managed to carve out a passage.
Li Juemu sighed: “No wonder you said there was no need to look for the beauty, so you have this method.”
Mo Yifeng casually said that he and Shen Yucheng had interconnected magic tools in order to brush off Li Juemu and prevent him from asking too many questions. He didn’t expect this fool to actually believe it.
Suddenly, Mo Yifeng felt pulled deeper, which should be Shen Yucheng moving downward. However, just as he thought the other party would continue to descend, the binding force surprisingly released.
Mo Yifeng fell into deep thought. Just now, Shen Yucheng started moving as soon as he woke up, probably looking for a way out. And now, this irregular sense of falling…
Is he fighting?
Down below?
Damn, I really want to go and see.
Before the thought was settled, the ground began to tremble slightly. The vibration became more and more violent, sweeping like thousands of horses galloping. The cracks in the ground spread rapidly, expanding in all directions.
Li Juemu found it difficult to stand still and stared in shock at the scene before him, unable to help but curse: “What kind of mountain is this? It has earthquakes every now and then, is it ever going to end!”
Amidst the earth-shattering movements, Mo Yifeng lay deep underground, clearly feeling something rushing up from below. Just as he was about to remind Li Juemu, the ground cracked again, and a figure quickly flew out of the crack.
The smile that had just risen on Li Juemu’s face froze in the next second.
The figure jumped out of the ground along with ten behemoths.
Without saying much, the two figures rushed out of the ground and began to fight. Gravel splashed everywhere. Li Juemu quickly carried Yan Quanye and ran, shouting, “Beauty, take it easy, I can’t run fast enough!”
Shen Yucheng’s whole body glowed with golden light, and countless silk threads emerged from his five fingers, binding five giant beasts. He glanced coldly below and said, “Lying down and watching the battle is quite enjoyable, huh.”
Mo Yifeng’s eyes were full of Shen Yucheng’s heroic figure. He smiled and said, “Indeed, it’s not bad.”
Shen Yucheng also smiled. He suddenly clenched his five fingers, the silk threads contracted, and he forcefully threw the giant beast in his hand to the ground: “They said they also want to watch the battle, so please make do with it.”
Five giant beasts rushed towards Mo Yifeng. Since Shen Yucheng returned to the ground, Mo Yifeng was finally able to stand up. Before the giant beasts landed, he teleported behind Shen Yucheng with his sword, leaned in and said, “But I only want to play with Brother Yucheng.”
After saying that, Mo Yifeng smiled. Shen Yucheng glanced sideways and noticed that Mo Yifeng would always call him “Brother Yucheng” when he was excited or felt something was extremely interesting, but would usually call him “Junior Brother.”
Shen Yucheng cursed in his heart: Hypocrite.
He shrank the spiritual threads in his hand, and hundreds of silk threads shot towards Mo Yifeng. However, just as they were about to touch him, Mo Yifeng instantly returned to the ground and smiled, “As for the matter of binding, it’s better to go back to the sect and discuss it in detail.”
Shen Yucheng felt that this sentence was a bit wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on it for a moment.
The two were in the air and on the ground, confronting the giant beasts. Shen Yucheng’s spiritual threads were taut, binding the limbs of the giant beasts. With a sudden contraction, golden light lit up at the binding points, and they were instantly cut apart and fell to the ground. One of the feet almost smashed Mo Yifeng.
“Senior Brother, are you unharmed?” Shen Yucheng teased while fighting the giant beasts.
Mo Yifeng’s pulse thumped heavily. He didn’t expect that Shen Yucheng’s sentence “Senior Brother” would make him so excited. The blood in his body seemed to boil instantly. He kicked a giant beast that was pouncing over into the sky, aiming it straight at Shen Yucheng: “I’m fine, Junior Brother is thoughtful.”
After several rounds of offense and defense, only three of the ten giant beasts were left. The others were all destroyed. Li Juemu watched the battle from afar, trembling: “Sure enough, the people of the Futian Sect are all devils.”
The three giant beasts seemed to be enraged and struck Mo Yifeng away with all their strength. Shen Yucheng originally wanted to snicker, but helplessly there was a strange bond between the two, and he was also pulled to the back. The two were linked like yo-yos.
At this time, the giant beasts took the opportunity to find a loophole and chased up, their fists like Mount Tai pressing down on the two of them.
A shadow appeared on Shen Yucheng’s face. Looking at the behemoth above, he thought that without protection, this punch would surely cause serious damage.
Mo Yifeng looked at the approaching fist, his tone playful, without any posture of facing death, more wanting to observe Shen Yucheng’s eyes: “Junior Brother, are we going to die?”
Shen Yucheng had no intention of paying attention, but remembering what the other party said when he fell into the cave, he sneered, “You’re joking, I don’t want to die with you.”
Even so, he still had to solve the fist in front of him first. The two were flying backwards in the air like fast arrows, and the inertia made them unable to avoid the attack.
If I use spiritual power…
Spiritual power?
He suddenly remembered that he hadn’t cultivated today. The spiritual power that he usually used for two or three days hadn’t even been half exhausted. Shen Yucheng carefully recalled the situation of the battle just now and slowly said, “It should be more than five seconds, right.”
