C18 Perfecting the trembling waves palm.
At the peak, Du Shaofu's face had paled. He had just flown high in the air and almost vomited out his full meal of pig's feet.
More importantly, the Beast Tide was able to shake the earth and mountains. The vicious birds flapped their wings and the myriad of beasts let out a cry, causing Du Shaofu to look out far ahead. His heart was restless. If he were to encounter such a terrifying Beast Tide, even dying thousands of times wouldn't be enough. This has let Du Shaofu to realize the true fear of this Barbarian Beast Mountain Range.
"It's becoming more and more interesting. I have never expected that there would be such a fearsome existence within the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range. An existence that can drive away a myriad of beasts, including a few Demon Beasts. It seems that I have underestimated this Barbarian Beast Mountain Range."
The beautiful lady in plain clothes looked at where the Beast Tide had come from and smiled, then quietly sat down cross-legged. The ancient flute in her hands once again landed on her lips. Her mouth parted slightly, and she started to play it like a heavenly flute.
The flute sound was gentle and melodious, lingering in the air, singing a familiar melody. Although Du Shaofu had already heard it once, he was still intoxicated by it.
When the sky started to brighten, Du Shaofu also woke up from the beautiful melody. That flute music was like a spell, enchanting him to unknowingly fall into it. The flute sound made his soul as if it had been washed once. When he was sober, he felt that he was totally fresh and energetic.
As for the plain-clothed beautiful lady, her eyes were still slightly closed as she sat cross-legged at the side.
"What a terrifying Beast Tide."
When Du Shaofu saw that the place where the Beast Tide passed last night looked like an earthquake, shock spread across his face once again. Looking far into the direction of the Stone City, he felt extremely distanced from home, and he did not know how far out he was.
"Are you scared?"
At some point, the plain-clothed beautiful woman had opened her beautiful eyes, and her gazes fell on Du Shaofu.
"It's indeed quite amazing." Du Shaofu did not deny it. Recalling that horrible Beast Tide yesterday, it was impossible for him to be completely fearless.
"You performed well, and you don't have to be so afraid. Before Fu Yibai arrives, your life will stay safe and sound." The plain-clothed beautiful woman said to Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu frowned. He didn't know whether Fu Yibai would come or not. But in this dangerous Barbarian Beast Mountain Range, even if Fu Yibai had come, how could he live on? Looking at the plain-clothed beautiful woman, he sighed helplessly: "What if that old man Fu Yibai does not come, or he is not able to come?"
"Then I'll kill you."
The beautiful woman looked at Du Shaofu, then said: "Let's stay here for one or two more days. I expect there will be a big show to watch."
"I'm hungry."
Du Shaofu was helpless. After arriving at the center of the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range, he had gone through that terrifying Beast Tide last night. At this moment, even if the beautiful woman allowed him to leave, he would not be able to leave.
"There should be many Demon Beasts that were trampled to death last night. You can go and find something to eat." The beautiful woman no longer paid any more attention to Du Shaofu, nor was she afraid of Du Shaofu escaping.
"It's so high, should I go down and come up again?"
Looking at the mountain, Du Shaofu took a deep breath. From the top of the mountain, to the bottom, and then upwards again. Forget about the ruggedness of this terrain, even if it was a flat road, he would probably die from exhaustion.
"It's you who's hungry, not me." As the beautiful woman finished speaking, she closed her eyes again.
Du Shaofu clenched his teeth, but he could do nothing about it. In the end, he could not resist the rumbling sounds in his stomach, and helplessly went down the mountain.
It spent Du Shaofu a whole hour and a half in going down to the bottom of the mountain. Halfway down the mountain, he was slipping and the skin on both of his hands were severely worn out. If not for his Profound Qi, it was probably that the consequences would have been dire. The ordinary people would not have been able to reach the bottom.
At the foot of the mountain, where the Beast Tide passed was a complete wreck, with several towering trees having been cut in half. Du Shaofu saw the few corpses of low-level Demon Beast of Acquired Stage with some dismay. These should have been the demons that were trampled to death by the stampede of strong Demon Beasts in the Beast Tide.
Du Shaofu was a little helpless. Although these corpses were of Demon Beasts from the Aquired Stage, if they could all be transported to the Stone City, then they could still be sold for an expensive price.
After searching around, Du Shaofu did not dare go too far. He was afraid of encountering Demon Beasts, then he would be in deep trouble. In the end, he could only find the corpses of two small Demon Beasts of Acquired Stage, the Scarlet Fire Rabbit and the Black Ice Serpent. He wanted to bring them back up the mountain.
Scarlet Fire Rabbit was half a meter in size. It could spit out a type of scarlet flame and its speed was extremely fast, but its attacks were not very powerful. It would not be very profitable for the Demon Hunters to sell, and it was not difficult to find it as a delicacy within the Stone City.
The Black Ice Serpent was also the Demon Beast of the Acquired Stage. It was about three meters long and its entire body was ice-cold. It was not poisonous, but if the people were bitten by this snake, the victims would be entirely frozen solid.
Du Shaofu pulled off a vine and found some fragrant wild herbs and seasoning plants. With two Scarlet Fire Rabbits hanging around his waist, Du Shaofu reluctantly began climbing to the peak.
As Du Shaofu climbed, day soon turned to noon, and he was so tired that he only had one breath left. He lay on the ground for more than ten minutes before crawling back up. The plain-clothed beautiful woman was still sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, completely ignoring Du Shaofu.
An hour later, when Du Shaofu was roasting a Scarlet Fire Rabbit until it was tender on the outside and its savory aroma saturated the air, the beautiful woman in plain clothes opened her eyes. Just as Du Shaofu was about to finish his meal, the plain-clothed beautiful woman moved. She reached out her hands, then the whole Red Fire Rabbit was in her hands.
Under Du Shaofu's furious yet speechless gaze, the plain-clothed beautiful woman tore off a rabbit leg and threw the remaining half of the Scarlet Fire Rabbit back at Du Shaofu.
After eating and wiping his mouth, Du Shaofu had nothing else to do, so he started perfecting the Trembling Waves Palm. Last time, he was only able to master the Trembling Waves Palm, yet he didn't have the time to perfect it.
"If a lot of Profound Qi was gathered at the 'Heaven Gate' and 'Heaven Lake', it would not be so tough, but be more infinite. Only then would it be able to truly compete with the momentum of the stormy sea, and be able to make up for its flaws and shortcomings."
Knowing that the beautiful woman in plain clothes was a strong expert, Du Shaofu did not feel awkward being in her presence. Not long after, he was immersed in the process of perfecting the Trembling Waves Palm.
"He has no cultivation, but not only can he cultivate a kind of martial skill of the Inborn Stage, and he can also improve it. And his one crippled Martial Vein, however, seems to have recovered a bit. I have never expected that in a small border city, there would be such a special brat."
Looking at Du Shaofu who was immersed in perfecting the Trembling Waves Palm, the beautiful woman's eyes also started to ripple.
"Roar!"
"Aooo!"
As night fell, within the mountain range, another wave of Beast Tide arrived. This time, the Beast Tide was much more terrifying than the night before. The average stage of these Demon Beasts had already reached an extremely strong state. Their terrifying aura caused people to tremble, and it woke up Du Shaofu, who was in the process of perfecting the Trembling Waves Palm.
"Rumble!"
From the depths of the mountain range ahead, a large expanse of Demon Beasts crazily charged over. The sea of trees would bow down and make way for the tide to pass through, and the fierce birds would flap their wings, breaking treetops.
The beast's roar was like thunder, resounding through the mountain range. A few lower-level Demon Beasts were stomped into meat paste by the Beast Tide, blood splattering everywhere, which was extremely terrifying.
"Quickly retreat. This Beast Tide is powerful."
In the forest, a bald man with a mysterious pattern on his head waved his powerful fists. Each punch was made with the power of the rune, and each time, this man was able to shatter a gigantic beast, helping several people behind him to escape the Beast Tide.
"Get back to the bottom of the cliff to avoid the Beast Tide first!"
In a forest not too far away, a black-clothed elder holding a snake-headed walking stick was using the Talisman Secret Mark. Like bolts of lightning, he pierced through the heads of the huge beasts every time and, under the protection of many experts around, he helped the few youths and young girls go into the cliff.
