C97

After a long while, Zhao Kui finally recovered from his state of exhaustion. This time, he felt a great pain in the world: the pain of being unable to breathe!

"Ah, this is too uncomfortable!" I will never want to experience that feeling of depression again! No wonder in his previous life, this' special official 'was one of the eighteen great tortures! In this painful state, how many people can endure it? " When Zhao Kui thought back to the feeling of being in the underground river, even until now, he still felt a lingering fear.

Now that he was done resting, he opened his eyes and discovered that he was in a karst cave, where the underground river flowed out from. This karst cave was abnormally cool, and probably because of the river, there were sparkling and translucent water droplets hanging on the walls of the cave, constantly dripping down into the river, making "ding-dong ding-dong" sounds as if a zither-master was playing a zither. It was extremely pleasant to listen to, and within the karst cave, there were still echoes. Zhao Kui was listening attentively to the beautiful music of nature.

After admiring it for a while, Zhao Kui looked outside the cave. He could only see the faint outline of a green mountain in the distance. The green mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist. It was extremely beautiful. Nothing else could be seen.

"It seems like this is a large mountain range!" Zhao Kui thought to himself as he walked out. He wanted to see what it was like outside.

When he arrived outside the cave, Zhao Kui discovered that the cave was on the side of a mountain. Zhao Kui looked up at the towering mountain and felt a sense of contempt. Compared to the mountain, the cave was nothing. From a distance, the cave looked like a small ink dot on a piece of clothing. Zhao Kui was unable to estimate its height. He could not even see the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain.

Actually, the mountain was more accurate to call itself a mountain peak. It was as if it rose from the ground and rushed towards the sky. The entire mountain was a solitary mountain peak. Like a sharp sword, it pierced through the clouds.

Zhao Kui couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. He wanted to climb the mountain peak to see what was happening.

While he was in a good mood, Zhao Kui also became more agile as he dashed toward the peak like an ape. The trees in the forest were constantly left behind by Zhao Kui, and the continuous sounds of "sou shu" from Zhao Kui constantly stirred up the animals in the forest. Large groups of birds continued to ascend into the sky, flying towards the distant horizon.

After reaching the mountain peak, Zhao Kui looked around and discovered that the mountain peak he was on was not considered a mountain, but a small mountain in the middle of a cluster of mountains. From the looks of it, the mountain peak was too small for him.

"Hiss!"

Zhao Kui could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. After climbing upwards for a period of time, he estimated that this mountain wasn't even 8000 feet high. It was at least 6000 feet high! At such a high altitude, he could already feel the temperature on this mountain peak turning slightly cold! However, looking at the mountain peak in the distance now, I actually feel like I just stood at the bottom of this mountain. I can't see the difference between the mountain peak and the mountain peak in the distance, but now that I've reached the top, I can clearly feel the difference between the two! "

Zhao Kui sighed with emotion. He felt as if he'd suddenly grasped onto something.

"Oh right, climbing this mountain is like martial arts, when my cultivation is very low, for example, that Houtian first or second stage martial artist, seeing a Houtian seventh or eighth stage martial artist, feels that they are very high and unattainable, this feeling must be the same feeling I had when I was standing at the foot of the mountain." However, when he himself had already reached the peak of Houtian seventh or eighth stage, he looked around and saw that there were still many powerhouses in the surroundings. This was the so-called "there is someone on top of the mountain, there must be a mountain outside the mountain"! Having personally come to this scene, I can truly understand the meaning behind my words. Only by climbing the peak of a mountain and looking at the small mountains will I have the feeling of dominating the world, and that is the true pinnacle of martial arts. That is the goal I have to work hard for! "

Zhao Kui said these words to himself and began to carefully observe them.

Only then did he realize that the river he was in was a branch of a large river. The direction that large river led to was no longer something that his eyes could see clearly.

"It seems that I went down the river and was then washed into the tributaries of the river. It seems like this river is a branch of this river, or perhaps this river is a branch, I've been unconscious for a long time, but I don't know how long I've been washed away, and I've also been through countless rivers, no wonder Ye Tian and the others have not been able to find me, in this vast and unknown mountain range, these rivers are just like a maze, if they were able to find me, it would be a miracle! "

While Zhao Kui was thinking about all of this, he was also secretly rejoicing. He didn't know how many dangers lay hidden while he was drifting. He could escape them one by one. This really showed that his life shouldn't have ended!

After some thought, Zhao Kui once again lifted his head and looked elsewhere. The scene before him caused his eyes to narrow as he saw a mountain range. This mountain range was originally located on the back of the mountain, so he could not see it except for the karst cave.

The shape of this mountain was extremely strange, as if a long dragon was lying horizontally on its side. The dragon's body was meandering, constantly fluctuating. At the top of this mountain were the dragon's head and dragon's tail, which were respectively vivid and lifelike.

"Could this be the Nine Dragons Mountain in the depths of the Cloud Mountain Range?" Zhao Kui muttered to himself, "Legend has it that in the ancient times, there was a horde of demons coming from the county's side. When a divine dragon saw the hellish scene of the county's people, it expelled the demons and, in the end, because there were too many of them, the divine dragon was unable to completely eliminate them. It could only suppress them with its own body.

No one had really counted just how vast this mountain range was. They only knew that at least four fifths of the entire area of the Cloud County was occupied by the Cloud County, but even so, the total area of the other places in the Cloud County was still almost the same as the other counties, including more than ten prefectures and cities. Each prefectural city included seven to eight counties, with Zhao Kui's River City occupying an area of at least two to three thousand kilometers from where the Cloud County did not include the Cloud Mountain Range!

This cloud mountain range was quite famous in the Heavenly Stellar Continent. It was one of the top mountain ranges in the entire Great Luo Empire! The Azure Cloud Mountain that Zhao Kui had trained in was only a small mountain on the edge of the Cloud Mountain! This cloud could be seen from the vastness of the mountain range!

"Good heavens! How far was I washed? has been washed into the depths of the Cloud Mountain Range! " Zhao Kui was secretly alarmed. He knew that the depths of this mountain range was filled with dangers. He could already imagine it just by thinking about it.

"This won't do, I need to hurry up and increase my strength. If I want to survive in such a large mountain range, the number of ferocious beasts I'll have to face will be countless. Even a Pill Beast would be a common sight!" Without enough power, I would be like a fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered by those powerful beasts! "

Zhao Kui broke out in a cold sweat as he thought of this. He could encounter a powerful wild beast at any time and his life could return to the underworld at any time! The only way to survive was by becoming stronger. Only by becoming stronger would one have the qualification to continue living. This was also the law of natural selection!

After carefully observing his surroundings, Zhao Kui was unable to find a good place to train on the mountain peak. He could only regretfully walk down the mountain. He had to find an ideal place to practice.

This was equivalent to a capital investment. Although the risks were great, the returns were also huge! If he did not make such a risky investment, Zhao Kui might not even be left with a corpse!

The second arrived! Ask for some flowers ~
