Chapter 661 - Ghost Camel Ridge
Chapter 661 Ghost Camel Ridge
The Ghost Camel Ridge was located in a group of mountains. It looked like a Hunchbacked Horse. When winds blew, ghostly wails and wolf howls sounded. That was why it got its name.
He didn’t know the experts other than Ye Huiling and Ke Shanming. Their cultivation levels were all at the intermediate stage of the Gold Immortal Realm. It seemed that they were temporarily sent here from the headquarters of the Canyang Guild.
These people were quite polite. They attached great importance to Chu Xun, not to mention his force.
The experts at the intermediate stage of the Gold Immortal Realm could fly in the air.
But they couldn’t fly for a long time like Chu Xun. If they wanted to fly for thousands of meters, they had to utilize strength. To put it bluntly, the stronger their cultivation was, the longer distance they could fly.
At the least, Chu Xun thought so. If he flew in the air and crossed tens of thousands of miles, he didn’t need to utilize strength from others.
The Ghost Camel Ridge was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Forest of Misfortune. Even an expert in the Gold Immortal Realm couldn’t arrive there in one day.
At noon on the second day, they arrived at the so-called Ten-Thousand Miles Mountain Range.
The Ghost Camel Ridge was located in it.
The Ten-Thousand Miles Mountain Range was more dangerous than the Forest of Misfortune. There must be fierce beasts in the Gold Immortal Realm in it, so they had to be careful.
Fortunately, the group of people was all in the Gold Immortal Realm. When the pressure they made spread, ordinary beasts did not dare to show up at all. Even those powerful beasts did not dare to show up in the face of so many people.
In the mountain range, ancient trees were huge, and stone peaks stood in great numbers. It wasn’t good for flying, so they could only walk. Furthermore, they could hardly discern the direction in the mountain range. It was easy for them to get lost.
Fortunately, Ye Huiling had prepared well. He had a map, but it was extremely rough with some simple rough lines. The mountain range was too dangerous. No one had traveled throughout it and drawn a complete map.
They encountered many dangerous beasts along the way. However, Ye Huiling and the others killed all of them in the end. Chu Xun didn’t have to take action at all and felt easy.
“Mr. Liu, the Ghost Camel Ridge is there,” Ye Huiling stood on a mountain top and pointed to a big mountain in the distance and told Chu Xun.
Chu Xun looked over there and found that the mountain was really like a Hunchbacked Horse. The trees on the mountain were all bare with strange stones stood in great numbers. The mountain was covered with thick green mist.
Although they could see it, the Ghost Camel Ridge was still at least hundreds of miles away from them.
“Poisonous miasma.” Chu Xun frowned. With his eyesight, he could clearly see green mist covering the mountain. It was miasma.
“It’s a ten-thousand-year-old poisonous miasma,” Ye Huiling explained.
Chu Xun’s expression changed slightly. Even a master in the Gold Immortal Realm might not be able to withstand ten-thousand-year-old poisonous miasma. Moreover, he did not know how many tens of thousands of years it was.
“We’ll be there soon. Let’s have a rest here,” Chu Xun suggested.
In fact, he knew that the spy of the Ma Family must have special ways to contact Ma Shiwen. But no matter how he spread the news, the news wouldn’t go as fast as them.
Ye Huiling was so cunning. Although his companions were so tired all the way, Ye Huiling didn’t let them stop. Chu Xun couldn’t stall for time.
“Here is not far from the Ghost Camel Ridge. We can take a rest there. The Silver Jade Immortal Leaf is important. We can’t let others get it before us,” Ye Huiling said.
In fact, he didn’t want to give Chu Xun a chance to contact the others at all.
It was inappropriate for Chu Xun to say anything. Otherwise, it would be too obvious. It seemed impossible to let Ma Shiwen set up an ambush. Chu Xun had to act according to circumstances.
Then, the group of people rushed towards the Ghost Camel Ridge.
Before they got close to it, Chu Xun found that the bottom of the mountain was crowded with people.
“Why are there so many people?” Chu Xun asked.
Ye Huiling said, “I’m not sure. To be honest, we are not the only ones who know about the Silver Jade Immortal Leaf. The Ma Family might have known about it and spread the news out.”
“Do you mean the Ma Family wants to stop me from finding the herb?” Chu Xun’s face darkened, and his eyes were full of killing intent.
Ye Huiling looked at Chu Xun but didn’t see anything else. He said, “Mr. Liu, I’ve told you before that the people of the Ma Family are sinister and not good friends.”
“Humph, anyone who dares to stop me from getting the herb will be slaughtered by me.” Chu Xun’s voice was cold.
Ye Huiling and Ke Shanming looked at each other with a sinister smile on their faces.
They planned to force Chu Xun to choose a side and directly become enemies with the Ma Family.
But they looked around and were surprised that no one of the Ma Family was around. It was reasonable to say that the Ma Family should have received the news long ago. To draw Chu Xun over to their side, it was impossible for them not to come.
They didn’t know Ma Shiwen wanted to invite Chu Xun to go with him. Having sent people to spread the news to Chu Xun, Ma Shiwen was waiting for him in Hundred-Meter City.
However, Chu Xun didn’t come. Ma Shiwen received the news that Chu Xun got entangled with the members of the Canyang Guild. Chu Xun let him set up an ambush around the Ghost Camel Ridge. He immediately rushed to the Ghost Camel Ridge with his men.
Unfortunately, when he received the news, Ye Huiling had already left for several hours. No matter how fast he went, he couldn’t catch up with them at all.
“Brother Shanming, how did you know that there is Silver Jade Immortal Leaf on the mountain?” Chu Xun was curious. The mountain was full of poisonous miasma, and only experts beyond the Gold Immortal Realm could go up there.
Ke Shanming said, “To tell the truth, a warrior encountered an injured poisonous beast here. To be alive, this poisonous beast revealed this secret.”
Chu Xun nodded slightly. Sometimes the more mysterious a thing was, the more real it was. The Ghost Camel Ridge might have existed for tens of millions of years. With the good protection of the miasma, naturally, some precious flowers and herbs were on the mountain.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go up and pick the herb,” Chu Xun said.
“Mr. Liu, we’ve been busy all the way. Let’s have a rest before we ascend the mountain. Anyway, ordinary people can’t ascend the mountain and get the Silver Jade Immortal Leaf,” Ye Huiling spoke unhurriedly.
Chu Xun was secretly annoyed. If the people of the Ma Family and the Canyang Guild met, would he sit back and watch or help one side deal with the other?
Right now, he still lacked a few great medicinal herbs, or else he would mercilessly kill both sides.
He couldn’t kill them. He wanted to make use of these two parties.
“You can rest here, and I’ll go to explore the way. I’m not in a hurry, but I’m afraid that I’ll delay my master’s business. My Third Senior Brother has already come to urge me once, so I can’t afford to wait.” After that, Chu Xun directly rushed up the mountain, not giving Ye Huiling a chance to speak at all.
“Fuck, I’ll pick up the Silver Jade Immortal Leaf myself. If you two meet, you can have a battle,” Chu Xun thought.
The mountain was tens of thousands of meters high, and the hillside was full of bare trees and strange rocks. The miasma pervaded the place, blocking the sight. He couldn’t see the top of the hill at all.
Chu Xun’s sudden climb to the top of the mountain attracted everyone’s attention. The miasma on the mountain was so terrible that many people had died because of it. How dare he ascend the mountain?
Chu Xun’s speed was as fast as lightning. He rushed up around two thousand meters and saw poisonous miasma.
He reached out his hand and pulled out a wisp of poisonous miasma. Having wrapped it in the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, he studied it carefully. After a while, he concluded that this miasma was at least a hundred thousand years old. Even Ke Shanming might not be able to withstand it.
However, the poisonous miasma couldn’t hurt Chu Xun. He had the Ancestral Dragon’s Bone and had bathed in the dragon blood and Suan Ni True Blood. Moreover, his Azure Dragon’s Nine Transformations Technique had reached the fourth level, so he was not afraid at all.
To ensure safety, Chu Xun used Hong Meng Immortal Qi to form a layer of purple armor that covered his body and stepped into the miasma.
As he expected, the miasma was strong, and the visibility was less than ten meters. Here, the experts were like the blind.
Seeing Chu Xun had entered the miasma, the faces of Ye Huiling and his companions darkened.
“What should we do now, Mr. Ye?” Ke Shanming asked.
Ye Huiling thought for a moment and said strangely, “Everyone, be careful. The people of the Ma Family are not here. Logically speaking, they should have arrived earlier than us.”
“Are you suspecting that they have an ambush?” Ke Shanming surveyed his surroundings. The mountains overlapped with each other, and there were too many places where they could lay an ambush.
“It’s hard to say now. Everyone, be on your guard,” Ye Huiling said.
In reality, the Ma Family wanted to set up an ambush, but they were late. They were still on their way.
“But now Liu Tianhe has entered the poisonous miasma, what should we do?” Ke Shanming asked.
“We underestimated Liu Tianhe. He can resist the miasma with his physical body.” Ye Huiling was also surprised. They had already known that the miasma here was powerful, so they had made preparations. They didn’t expect Chu Xun to enter the miasma without their help. They expected him to accompany them and wait to meet the Ma Family before. This time, they transferred experts from the headquarters to deal with the Ma Family. If they killed the Ma Family’s people in front of Chu Xun, Chu Xun could only choose them.
But now, they miscalculated.
“We should also go in, but don’t rashly make a move. We can make a move when Liu Tianhe is in danger. If we have a life-saving grace to him, I’m sure he will know how to choose,” Ye Huiling said.
“Mr. Ye is wise,” Ke Shanming said with a smile.
Ye Huiling said, “Okay, let’s climb.”
They rushed up the mountain. When they got close to the miasma area, every one of them took out a piece of talisman, which was shining with golden light, and enveloped them in it.
Ke Shanming stepped forward and tried to touch a wisp of the poisonous miasma. The miasma was blocked by the golden light on the surface of his skin. It was difficult to harm him.
“Don’t worry. The talisman was specially prepared for us by the First Presbyter after he heard of this matter. Not to mention the hundred-thousand-year-old poisonous miasma, even the miasma more than millions of years would not harm us,” said an expert at the intermediate stage of the Gold Immortal Realm. They brought these protective talismans with them.
They nodded at each other and rushed into the miasma together.
“Damn it.” After entering it, Ye Huiling couldn’t help cursing. It was the first time for them to enter this place. The visibility here was so low that they could see few things. They felt unaccustomed to the place.
“Everyone, you must be careful. There are many poisonous beasts here. Everyone must be alert. Don’t get separated.” Even an expert at the intermediate stage of the Gold Immortal Realm had a kind of oppressive feeling here.
On the other side, Chu Xun was in trouble. He encountered a poisonous crocodile in the Gold Immortal Realm. This poisonous crocodile was not hiding in the mud but in the soil under his feet.
Chu Xun just happened to pass by its back. It rushed out from the ground and lifted him into the air, which frightened him. It was all too sudden.
The poisonous crocodile was over 20 meters long. It was huge. It had a wide mouth and sharp fangs. The green viscous liquid flowed out from its mouth. The liquid dripped onto the ground, corroded away the surface, and large craters appeared.
Chu Xun secretly compared the other party and him. Then he was a little angry because he was not as big as one of the crocodile’s fangs.
The poisonous crocodile opened its mouth. It was more than two meters long. Sharp crisscrossed fangs pounced on him.
Chu Xun raised his hand, and Immortal Qi swirled around him. He struck out with his palm, and purple ripples swept out like waves.
Boom!
The giant poisonous crocodile was sent flying hundreds of meters away. The ancient trees it passed were smashed, and the huge rocks it passed were crushed into powder.
After Chu Xun sent the poisonous crocodile flying with one palm, he did not go to kill it. Instead, he turned around and ran away. He did not know if other people would compete with him for the Silver Jade Immortal Leaf. If there were, the others could deal with the poisonous beasts. He would not help the enemies remove the barriers.
