Chapter 899: Chapter 764 Restraint (Seeking monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)

Savage Elephant Mountain Range.

This mountain range stood tall and vast, enveloping space with a kind of pressure that made birds extinct.

"Space Restriction!"

Fang Xi identified it after a brief observation and shook his head, "This place is entwined with a powerful Space Restriction, even an Integration Level Cultivator might not be able to withstand it..."

"Exactly, and to bypass the mountain range would require a significantly longer detour... And that’s not all, whether it’s the Black Sand Desert to the east or the Swamp to the west, both are filled with dangers not inferior to the Ancient Savage Elephants, and would consume even more light and time..."

Bai Yusheng released a scholarly aura, flipping through the pages in front of him, and stopped on a character ’隐’.

A pale white radiance enveloped the two men, and Fang Xi suddenly felt his form and breath reduced to a certain extent, he couldn’t help but laugh, "The Divine Skill of the scholar’s path, truly has its admirable virtues..."

Using the ’Wind-controlling Skills,’ their figures transformed into a breeze that entered deeply into the Savage Elephant Mountain Range.

Vast, enormous...

The first impression the Savage Elephant Mountain Range gave Fang Xi was its immensity!

Whether it was the flowers, grass, trees, or anything else, all seemed magnified by thousands of times, even giving him the illusion that he was under some Divine Skill, shrunk by thousands of times.

Though ’Wind-controlling Skills’ was a traveling skill for low-level cultivators, in the hands of high-level ones, the effect was not comparable to that of the lower levels.

Like a breeze, the two of them moved at an extremely fast pace, covering half the distance in less than an hour.

"Fortunately, everything has been smooth for this operation. According to the records left by our ancestor, he encountered the pursuit of three Ancient Savage Elephants to reach this place..."

Bai Yusheng looked ahead at a mountain peak shaped like a bull’s horn and a trace of joy appeared on his face, "After passing this bull horn peak, and a few more places, we should be able to traverse the Savage Elephant Mountain Range safely. Our luck has been good so far, without encountering..."

Chirp chirp!

The next moment, Fang Xi saw a flock of white birds flying through the sky.

These birds had white feathers and red pupils, and the leader seemed to have faint golden plumes. They were not confused by the ’hidden’ characters, and immediately let out a sharp cry upon seeing Fang Xi and Bai Yusheng.

"Not good, these are Monster Beasts associated with the Ancient Savage Elephants... with these birds here, Ancient Savage Elephants must be nearby!"

As Bai Yusheng was shocked, he struck with a ’arrow’ character.

Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy converged, turning into dense arrows that shot up into the sky!

One after another, the red-eyed white birds were pierced through, screeching as they fell to the ground, and it looked as if it was raining white from mid-air.

Moo!!

But it was too late.

The ground shook, and on the horizon, a small mountain seemed to be moving slowly but actually approached quickly.

That was a giant elephant as colossal as a mountain. Its body was covered with various natural lines forming Talismans, its thick hide easily comparable to a sixth-order defensive treasure, and its white tusks as pure as jade, exuded a chilling sense of threat.

"Moo!!"

Upon seeing the bloodstained white feathers on the ground, the Ancient Savage Elephant roared and its long trunk swept up, then suddenly lashed down.

Bang!

As if hit by an indescribable Giant Strength, the area where Fang Xi and Bai Yusheng stood instantly turned to dust, revealing a deep trench!

The trench continued to extend outwards, seemingly transforming into a chasmic Abyss.

"Friend Wang, leave this elephant to me."

Bai Yusheng summoned a Spirit Beast Bag and as the five-colored light on it flashed, a thin ray of light darted out.

Fang Xi’s eyes sparkled as he saw that it was actually a tiny golden-furred rat!

This rat was the size of an adult’s head, covered with a cycle of five-colored fur, a Variant Monster Beast—the Five Elements Golden Rat!

Chit chit!

This Five Elements Golden Rat seemed to be naturally proficient in Five Elements escape skills, its body flashed with an earthy yellow light as it used the Earth Escape Skills to reach the foot of the Ancient Savage Elephant.

Then it used all four limbs to climb up one of the elephant’s huge legs, swiftly ascending this ’pillar of heaven,’ alarmingly fast.

"Moo!!!"

The Ancient Savage Elephant roared as Talismans flashed across its body, transforming into various attacks that the little rat dodged with the utmost agility and Five Elements escape skills.

Crack!

Eventually, the Ancient Savage Elephant bellowed, its massive trunk whipping at its own body like a steel whip.

A trace of blood appeared, but the Five Elements Golden Rat dived into the crevices of its skin and seemed to be unharmed!

"Chit Chit!"

Finally, the Five Elements Golden Rat cried triumphantly and burrowed into one of the ears of the Ancient Savage Elephant.

The mountain-sized Ancient Savage Elephant began to convulse, causing a small earthquake in the vicinity.

"The ears of the Ancient Savage Elephant are its weakness, but without the guidance of the ancestor’s notes, I wouldn’t know that a special rodent monster could solve the problem..."

Bai Yusheng spoke at length.

Immortal Cultivators often outsmarted Wild Beasts without much Spiritual Wisdom; overcoming the stronger with the weaker was commonplace, as long as they could find its weakness!

"I see..."

Fang Xi nodded as he watched the vitality of the massive Ancient Savage Elephant rapidly decline, eventually collapsing with a thunderous crash.

"Chit Chit!"

The Five Elements Golden Rat emerged from the other ear, triumphantly bragging about its feat, with what appeared to be remnants of brain tissue still on its claws...

"Alas... it’s a pity, there isn’t much of value on this Ancient Savage Elephant."

Bai Yusheng sighed, flicking his hand.

The mountain-like corpse of the giant elephant vanished in an instant.

It appeared that he too had a Heaven Treasure on his person.

The elephant was killed solely by Bai Yusheng’s efforts, so his taking of the spoils was just and rational.

Fang Xi, not caring about the small matter, simply said, "Ancient Savage Elephants have unique ways of communicating; it’s likely that nearby herds are already aware of us. We better leave quickly..."

"Of course!"

Bai Yusheng’s expression turned grim.

He had invested great effort and could only manage to breed a single mutant five-colored brocade-furred rat.

After all, just not fearing the aura of sixth-order Primordial Chaos Beasts was enough to eliminate many Monster Beasts.

If he were besieged by several Ancient Savage Elephants now, it would still be very dangerous—after all, there was only one brocade-furred rat!

The two of them used their Wind-controlling Skills and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Then, it was as if earthquakes began to erupt all around, with the sensation of tremors approaching from afar.

The speed of that group of Ancient Savage Elephants was astonishing!

Feeling the trembling earth, Fang Xi suddenly stopped.

Before them, several Ancient Savage Elephants stood like mountains, blocking the path ahead for him and Bai Yusheng.

"We’ve been blocked after all."

Fang Xi murmured to himself, feeling the rippling vibrations from the ground beneath him.

Clang!

The Tai Yi Divine Light around him roared instantly, manifesting cracks!

And next to him, Bai Yusheng’s armor shattered, his mouth and nose bleeding as he took a hit!

"Be careful, these Ancient Savage Elephants have a special talent that attacks with ripples... They’re most adept at breaking through all kinds of defensive treasures and light-shields!"

"If the ripples from several giant elephants overlap, even Cultivators who have achieved full mastery of Returning to Emptiness might struggle to withstand them."

A flash of white light burst across Bai Yusheng’s face, and he forcefully suppressed his injuries.

He whistled, and the five-colored brocade-furred rat emerged, charging towards an Ancient Savage Elephant.

’The innate talent of this brocade-furred rat is exceptional; it can actually resist such ripple attacks... Where did the Bai family find such a naturally opposing Monster Beast?’

A glint flashed in Fang Xi’s eyes, as he had already seen through everything.

But as for him, even if such ripples could ignore external defenses, his internal organs had been strengthened by the ’True Body of Sky Demon’ and now were comparable to seventh-order Monster Beasts.

Even if he stood here and let dozens or hundreds of Ancient Savage Elephants trample him, they might not be able to even injure him!

"A strong body can negate such attacks..."

Fang Xi chuckled lightly and also made his move.

He patted his Storage Bag, and an odd black cricket-like Puppet emerged, turning into a streak of black light, vanishing in the void in a flash.

It was indeed the Quasi-seventh-order Puppet ’Fu Youzi’!

This seventh-order Puppet had never been used in combat since it was successfully refined. Today would be its first appearance.

It was also inspired by the five-colored brocade-furred rat!

However, a Quasi-seventh-order Puppet was far more terrifying than a brocade-furred rat.

Whoosh!

A sound of breaking air came from the void.

The pitch-black flowing light actually penetrated an Ancient Savage Elephant’s defenses and burrowed into its skin.

After that, a series of chirping bug noises sounded.

The Ancient Savage Elephant immediately collapsed onto the ground.

The Ominous Worm Puppet flew out from its body, only to see the other Ancient Savage Elephants roaring in anger. Numerous vibrating ripples converged upon the Ominous Worm Puppet.

Crack!

It trembled slightly but then, unscathed, once again dug into another Ancient Savage Elephant, wreaking havoc within...

As a Quasi-seventh-order Puppet, this Ominous Worm Puppet was made from materials of a real seventh-order Ominous Worm and naturally would not be easily harmed by the vibrating ripples.

The second, the third Ancient Savage Elephants fell in succession...

By this time, the five-colored brocade-furred rat had barely managed to take down a single Ancient Savage Elephant.

"Roar!"

Seeing this scene, the leader of the Ancient Savage Elephants let out a roar.

In its roar was not only anger but also fear and reluctance...

Then, the massive elephant herd, as large as mountains, suddenly wheeled around in unison and swiftly disappeared over the horizon.

"They... ran away."

Bai Yusheng looked on blankly, then turned towards Fang Xi. "Friend Wang... the Puppet you used, could it be a Quasi-seventh-order Puppet?"

He was good friends with Master Dongqiuzi, and had some guesses about why the Wang Family Ancestor possessed such a formidable Puppet.

But Fang Xi knew, if this man spoke of it to Dongqiuzi one day, there would be risks associated with maintaining the identity of Wang Family Ancestor.

’But with the vastness of the Earth Immortal Realm, who can be sure that my Quasi-seventh-order Puppet was made from the puppet skill inheritance obtained from Mr. Fu? Could it not have been purchased?’

’Moreover... it will still be several hundred years before Falling Sky Island opens its routes to the outside...’

’By then, the identity of Wang Family Ancestor, perhaps, I will have already abandoned...’

Fang Xi retracted the Ominous Worm Puppet, noticing that Bai Yusheng’s gaze filled with awe.

"Friend Wang..."

Bai Yusheng never imagined that this Friend Wang wasn’t just a Grandmaster of Talismans but also had such a horrifying Puppet!

No wonder he dared to save someone from the hands of a seventh-order Stone Clan Elder back then!

’Could this also be the depth of Moon Invitation Immortal City?’

’This Fairy City is truly hiding dragons and crouching tigers... Even if one day a Integration-level Ancestor emerged, disputing with the Star Sect for control over the Star Domain, I could remain unperturbed...’

Bai Yusheng looked at the carefree Wang Family Ancestor, feeling increasingly that Moon Invitation Immortal City was unfathomable...
