Exploding God

Chapter 1122 The Traveler in the Silent Night

The night, the damp mist, the torches obscured, and the utterly silent valley...

The fourth brother spread his arms and floated across the 500-meter distance like a ghost, much like the ground-hugging gliding of wingsuit flying, but his flight was much more advanced.

Because when he passed through, it didn't affect the original flow of the mist.

He was like a night owl hunting in the night, landing silently after circling around towering rocks and jagged thorny trees.

With a gentle shake, the mist around him quietly dissolved, forming a strange coating on his body that kept the damp mist out.

As the coating formed on his body, the fourth brother lightly leaped onto the rock wall beside him, pressing his fingers into the rock less than an inch deep, clinging to the wall like a gecko.

From landing to leaping up and hanging on the wall again, Lao Si's entire movement took less than a second, truly like a ghost.

After completing these actions, the fourth brother remained still and listened attentively.

Apart from the occasional scraping sound of air brushing against the stones, this eerie place was eerily quiet, without even the chirping of insects.

One second... five seconds...

There was no sound in the darkness.

The fourth brother finally exhaled his first breath since leaping to this point, and the furrowed brows behind his black mask calmed down.

He was certain that it was just his imagination; he had a feeling that someone was behind him.

"After walking the dark roads so many times, I've become a bit superstitious! I almost forgot that I'm the biggest evil one!"

His voice crackled with malice as he spoke the second half of the sentence.

After glancing at the invisible mist behind him, the fourth brother sneered and withdrew his gaze. He exerted force with his ten fingers, and his entire body floated up as if weightless before gently falling back down.

Only by observing his movements closely can one discover that his fingers would gently tap the stone wall each time his body fell.

Each time you press, a small dot will appear on the stone wall.

The fingers flicked out and retracted rapidly, with the same interval and distance each time. The short and dense movements made the fingers appear as a phantom.

Yet, behind this spectacular scene, there were no flying stone chips or squeezing sounds; everything was eerily quiet, like a silent movie playing.

The stench was growing stronger, and he was certain that the "big guy" was nearby.

The fourth brother, like a millipede, swiftly crawled across the rock face and disappeared into the deeper mist.

If the fourth brother were willing to turn around and take a look at this moment.

Then he would surely be able to see the figure with his hands behind his back and his toes dangling from the tip of a newly sprouted bamboo shoot.

Just seconds before, the figure had been standing quietly two meters above his head.

……

Lu Ze stared indifferently at the gradually disappearing figure, like a researcher watching an ordinary centipede in an insect box.

It was just an ordinary observation.

After the fourth brother's figure completely disappeared, Lu Ze leaned forward slightly, and the next second his body disappeared naturally into the mist like a reflection in a mirror or the moon in the water, leaving only the dew-covered bamboo shoots swaying gently.

……

Without any psychological burden, the fourth brother moved through the valley with great ease. His unique ability to conceal his aura allowed him to easily avoid nocturnal creatures.

As for strength?

His peak 9-star strength gave him immense confidence.

Now, in the darkness of night, he dares to fight a 10-star behemoth!

As they continued onward, there were many forks in the road, but the fourth brother did not hesitate. He simply followed the strongest stream in the valley, and did not stop when he passed by swarms of leaf-rotting beetles that emitted a foul stench.

Although these insects, which smell like stinky durian, are extremely dangerous, they have nothing to do with the fishy stench you smell during the day.

The fourth brother walked on air, flashing past at high speed, marveling at the sight.

These beetles, each as big as a human face and numbering five or six hundred, were frantically retreating in an inverted triangle formation.

They are genuine 9-star threats, marked as dangerous on the list of strange beasts in the Kirihara Land!

The only creatures that can make the Leaf-Rotting Green Beetle so wary are those above 9 stars.

Is it that exciting?

Just how terrifying is the "big guy" inside?

Upon thinking of this, the fourth brother instantly felt his blood flow accelerate, and his movements became even faster.

The third brother doesn't know anything!

Isn't this more fun than women?

As he circled around a bend along the rugged rock face, the night mist that had enveloped the valley vanished without warning, and his vision suddenly became clear.

A massive, imposing figure came into view.

grunt.

The fourth brother swallowed hard, feeling the hairs on his body stand on end and a chill rise to his throat. He slammed on the brakes!

His right hand's five fingers sank deep into the rock, and his body swung forward half a meter like a willow branch before stopping its momentum, then floated back gently like willow catkins.

The fourth brother performed this maneuver without even taking a breath. He used only the internal energy in his chest to freeze in mid-air with one arm hanging horizontally, without any further leakage of energy from his body.

He pursed his lips and frowned. Who would have thought that the incredibly strong stench was contained by the mist, as if he were facing a cesspool directly. The stench was simply unbearable.

But soon his attention was completely focused on the giant beast that was arching its back and scratching itself, because he could see the beast's appearance clearly.

This time, the fourth brother's thick arms dared not move at all.

The blood flow in the body begins to increase, causing the area above the neck to turn red.

actually……

Upon entering the ancient land, we encountered this terrifying behemoth known for its ferocity!

And there was a whole group of them!

If we lure them all over there...

It's likely that the task can be completed on the spot.

That was so damn exciting!

As he rapidly searched his mind for information about the behemoth, the fourth brother prepared to lure the enemy.

……

——【Winged Bear】!

Fierce, cruel, and cunning.

There are few adjectives used to describe the winged bear, but every one of them conveys a sense of extreme danger.

This is a bear-shaped behemoth that is normally 9 stars, but can break through to 10 stars at any time when enraged!

They are forbidden creatures unique to the Kirihara Lands.

Its thick, fluffy body, like a bear, is covered in feathers. Its lower limbs are strong and powerful, and its forelimbs are claws harder than steel. When extended, they become huge wings. As for its enormous bear head, it has a ferocious, blood-red maw with a terrifying bite force that can even crush steel.

The winged bear typically stands about 5 meters tall, and its fur and feathers are light brown.

However, once enraged, their bodies turn blackish-red, and their size expands instantly according to their strength. Legend has it that powerful winged bears can instantly grow to 10 meters tall, and their strength increases many times over.

As for their living habits, winged bears have a powerful digestive ability, so when they are in a state of constant hunger, they will frantically hunt down any creatures they see to fill their stomachs. They will intentionally leave the remaining raw meat and carcasses near their nests, and the smell of blood and rotting flesh will attract all kinds of creatures to come and become their next meal.

—If you see a winged bear, run as far as you can.

……

This information is the precious intelligence that hunters have obtained at the cost of their lives over the past two decades.

They were never recorded in the list of strange creatures!
