Chapter 521 Qin Shan

Chapter 521 Qin Mountain

The leaves rustled in the woods, and then a figure suddenly shot out from among them, leaping onto a tree trunk and looking around.

boom!

In the distance, a burst of energy echoed, and the figure rushed towards that spot.

"Oh no, we're surrounded."

In a distant open space, three people were surrounded and attacked by a pack of hungry wolves. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be from the State of Wei.

The wolves' eyes gleamed with a green light, as if they wanted to devour the three of them whole.

In this place, due to the abundance of talent, the strength of all the demon beasts has more than doubled, which has also brought some difficulties to many people.

"Damn it, we've been surrounded by such a pack of wolves, and their demonic power is all at the scholar level. How can we possibly withstand this?"

Taking a deep breath, one of them said in a deep voice, his face full of gloom, clearly wary of the wolf pack.

They only had three scholars, and compared to a pack of wolves whose members were all scholars, they were practically courting death.

"It's all my fault. I was greedy for the wolf crystal and accidentally wandered into this place, which led to your attack."

One of the scholars said with some frustration, but he knew it was too late to say anything now.

After all, these scholars are intelligent. If they offended other scholars, they might still be able to communicate with them. But when faced with this pack of wolves, they are truly doomed.

The atmosphere in the arena was tense, and the three men stood back to back, maintaining their composure.

They knew that the three of them had to stick together and fight the enemy, otherwise, if they were picked off one by one by the pack of hungry wolves, they would be finished.

"Roar!"

After a brief stalemate, one of the hungry wolves roared and charged at the three Wei soldiers.

The wolf, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, grew larger and larger in the eyes of the three. However, just as the three were preparing to fight to the death, a sound of wind breaking, carrying a fierce force, slammed directly into the wolf's head, ultimately blasting the wolf away.

This scene caused a look of seriousness to appear in the eyes of the wolves, while the three scholars suddenly looked up and saw a young man with outstretched wings standing in the sky, his eyes furrowed as he looked at the wolves.

"This is?"

"It looks like Ye Ru, the one who came in first place at the literary competition. There's no doubt about those wings."

Upon seeing this, one of the scholars spoke out loudly.

“It seems to be true.”

Another scholar also spoke up.

"We are saved."

The Wei man in the lead breathed a sigh of relief, the weight lifted from his heart, and he looked at the figure in the sky with gratitude in his eyes.

"Roar!"

Seemingly sensing Ye Ru's power, the wolf pack didn't do anything outrageous. They simply stood there watching Ye Ru, their sounds echoing throughout the land, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"Are you guys okay?"

Seeing that he had intimidated the wolf pack, Ye Ru flapped his wings, descended to the ground, and then turned to speak.

"Thank you for saving me, Brother Ye. I will definitely repay you in the future."

The three scholars clasped their hands in gratitude.

"You know me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ru raised an eyebrow and asked.

"More than that, Brother Ye is our role model. During the literary competition, he was a figure that even the heads of the noble families of the sages were wary of. My name is Gao Feng, and these two are Xiang Ming and Chen Ping."

The leading scholar, named Gao Feng, spoke.

"They're all just empty titles, not worth mentioning. I'll take care of these guys for you."

Ye Ru nodded, then looked at the pack of wolves. He closed his eyes, and a beam of light suddenly appeared between his brows, eventually shooting out a large cauldron.

The cauldron swelled in the wind, transforming into a curtain of fire that completely surrounded Ye Ru and his companions.

When Gao Feng and the others saw this scene, their faces showed shock. Animals are naturally afraid of fire. When these wolves saw the raging fire, a look of fear flashed in their eyes. After surrounding Ye Ru for a while, they scattered and left.

After easily dealing with the wolf pack, Ye Ru smiled and slowly said:

"It's alright. How did you end up here?"

"It's a long story. We came here to find the Wolf Crystal, but we didn't find it and ended up with a lot of trouble. What bad luck!"

Gao Feng smiled awkwardly, and then said.

"I see. These wolves won't give up so easily. I think we need to get out of here quickly. Once they find reinforcements, we won't be able to escape even if we want to."

Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice.

"Since Brother Ye has said so, then let's go."

Gao Feng and Chen Ping exchanged glances, then nodded, and the four of them left together.

As expected, when Ye Ru and his group left, the wolf pack swept back in. When they saw that Ye Ru and the others had disappeared, they roared angrily to the sky.

Where are you going next?

Inside a cave, Ye Ru and the others sat cross-legged. After a moment, Ye Ru addressed the three of them.

"Let's see what treasures we can find, and then we'll make it through three days and return to Wei to continue our studies. It's just too dangerous here."

Gao Feng shook his head and sighed. With their talents, they were practically courting death here.

Do you know where Qinshan is?

"Qin Shan? What are you doing there?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Feng's expression changed, as if he was afraid of something.

"what happened?"

Seeing the grim expressions on Gao Feng and the others' faces, Ye Ru asked in confusion.

It's just a name, yet the other party reacted so strongly. Could it be that Qin Shan is some kind of evil spirit?

“Brother Ye, you are unaware of this. Qin Mountain is a dangerous place in this area. If you are alone, I would absolutely not recommend you go there.”

"Once you go in, getting out will be harder than climbing to heaven."

"Moreover, the first barrier of Qin Mountain is the poison barrier. If you accidentally enter the poison barrier and do not remove the poison in time, you will become a skeleton within a few hours, or perhaps there will be no skeleton left."

Gao Feng swallowed hard, his words filled with apprehension.

"These are just minor issues. What's more frightening is that there's supposedly a thousand-year-old ferocious beast there. Anything it sees becomes its food. So, Brother Ye, you should think twice."

Upon hearing that Ye Ru wanted to go to Qinshan, Gao Feng and the others all tried to dissuade him.

These words made Ye Ru gasp. However, Kong Ling and the others were in imminent danger, and although Qin Mountain was dangerous, he had to go there no matter what.

"Can you tell me how to get there?"

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Ru spoke, but his youthful face showed a hint of seriousness and earnestness, indicating that Ye Ru was determined to go to Qinshan.
