Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 479: Chapter 446: Probe_1

“I sense it, someone is calling me!” Yue said.

Since entering the depths of the Wilderness, Yue had been feeling burdened, but she didn’t say anything, and the others didn’t ask more.

Now that feeling was crystal clear, making her realize that it was not an illusion, so she voiced it out.

“If that’s the case, let’s go check it out!”

Xu Mu said without any hesitation.

He came here with Yue with the purpose of unraveling the secrets of the Martial God. Now that they had a clue, there was no way he would give up.

“But I feel that it’s very powerful!”

Yue said nervously, “It might be even stronger than big brother!”

“…”

The others present were stunned. Xu Mu’s strength was unquestionable, they all had already considered him invincible, but now the most trusted one among them claimed there was an existence even stronger than Xu Mu.

Xu Mu did not take offense at this, instead, his eyes flashed with excitement.

If the other party was powerful, then the chances of them knowing the way out of here would be higher.

“Can you sense what kind of existence it is?” Xu Mu asked.

He was indeed eager to find out the way out of this world, but he wouldn’t stupidly rush forward without thinking.

They had been rampant in the outside world because there was no Martial God there, but it might not be the case in this Wilderness.

The knowledge of the people of this world about the Wilderness was very limited, it might hide some kind of fossil-like monster.

So it was wise to be cautious.

Yue shook her head.

“If that’s the case, let’s get closer first. If it’s impossible, we can always retreat.”

Now that they had finally found a clue, Xu Mu naturally wouldn’t easily give up.

“But, is it really okay?”

Yue was still somewhat worried as the feeling she got from the other party was too powerful.

“Don’t worry, even if we can’t defeat it, we should still be able to defend ourselves.”

Xu Mu said reassuringly.

He wasn’t just boasting, he indeed had many life-saving tricks. Even if they encountered someone stronger, he could still manage to escape.

With Xu Mu’s affirmative answer, Yue no longer insisted and led everyone forward along with her feelings.

The three-tailed Purple Mink swelled up like being inflated, and Yue, who was riding on its body, moved through the forest like a purple shadow.

The others also moved swiftly as if their bodies were covered with eyes, not being hindered by the abruptly appeared branches.

Only Ergou had to be carried by Xiao Tian Yuan, otherwise, he couldn’t keep up with the pace.

After about an hour of travel covering hundreds of miles, Xu Mu suddenly sped up to Yue’s side, then swung his hand and swatted away a sudden flying round black ball.

At the same time, there were black balls flying at them from all directions.

The black ball was as big as a water jar, fast and powerful. Apart from Xu Mu who easily blocked for Yue, the others struggled to cope. Yang Jiang, who had just reached the Martial Ancestor realm, even got slightly injured. If it wasn’t for Xiao Tian Yuan’s help, he might have fallen under these strange balls.

“What is this thing?” Yin Wen gasped.

She was a Martial Saint now. Although she had just been promoted and not fully mastered her power, it was terrifying that the strange ball could cause numbing vibrations in her hands.

Unfortunately, no one could answer her as they all encountered these things for the first time.

After the black balls were hit and sent flying, they twirled rapidly on the ground like living things and flew back again.

Even though everyone was prepared this time, they were still shaken and in a state of disarray.

A flicker crossed Xu Mu’s eyes, a colorful butterfly suddenly flew out from his prosthetic hand, dancing in the sky and transforming into numerous colorful ribbons, protecting everyone in the middle. No matter how the balls attacked, it was like they were hitting cotton.

This move seems like Rainbow Martial Emperor’s from the Six Great Martial Emperors?

Xiao Tian Yuan wondered in his heart but didn’t voice it out.

The black balls attacked relentlessly until they seemed to get tired, then suddenly split from the middle and transformed into creatures that looked like pangolins.

“It’s an Earth-Splitting Beast!”

Only then did Xiao Tian Yuan recognize them.

These Rift Beasts circled around them a few times before diving into the ground, disappearing in no time.

At that moment, Xu Mu’s body fell, plummeting towards the ground. The moment he landed, he clenched his right fist and slammed it down forcefully.

Boom!

It was as if a magnitude ten earthquake had occurred, the ground rapidly cracking.

The Rift Beasts were directly shaken out of the ground by Xu Mu.

Fear showed in their eyes as they turned and burrowed into the jungle, vanishing in an instant.

“Rift Beasts usually dwell in desolate rocky areas, why would they come here?” Xiao Tian Yuan said, somewhat perplexed.

He hadn’t recognized them at first because this lush area was not where the Rift Beasts usually lived.

“Never mind them, let’s continue on.”

Xu Mu gently patted the three-tailed purple mink that Yue was riding on, urging it to continue the journey.

The brief commotion had given the creature quite a scare. However, Yue, who was perched on his back, didn’t seem spooked at all.

Just then, an intuitive sense of good fortune had sprung up in Yue’s heart, telling her that these Rift Beasts wouldn’t attack her.

She relayed this feeling to Xu Mu, but he didn’t say much in response.

The group continued on, though their pace was a bit slower this time.

They had only walked for the duration of a cup of tea when Xu Mu raised his hand for everyone to stop.

“The few of you stay by Yue’s side,” Xu Mu ordered.

“What’s wrong, brother?” Yue asked, puzzled.

“Nothing,” Xu Mu replied.

Saying no more, he ignored the others’ confused looks and walked ahead.

The next moment, vines as thick as wrists shot up from the ground, lunging at Xu Mu from all directions.

The swaying vines created a deafening crash in the air, causing a sense of palpable fear in the onlookers, even from a distance.

“Purple Scale!”

From Xu Mu’s prosthetic arm, a giant purple snake sprang out. Circling rapidly around Xu Mu, it readily took on the lashing of the vines, its scales flying in all directions.

This seemed like a skill of the Purple Scale Martial Emperor!

Xiao Tian Yuan found the situation increasingly strange.

Xu Mu kept moving forward, surrounded by more and more vines. Their onslaught became fiercer, flattening everything within a ten-mile radius.

At that moment, a silver swallow flew out of Xu Mu’s prosthetic arm, transforming into a giant silver blade in his hand.

Grasping the massive silver blade, Xu Mu came to a halt and drove it into the ground.

Swoosh!

The vines extended from the ground seemed to recoil in fright, quickly retracting.

Xu Mu withdrew the silver blade, which had morphed from the swallow, and a green liquid began to ooze from the marks left on the ground.

“Let’s go!”

Having called back the two beast spirits, Xu Mu spoke calmly.

The consecutive rounds of attacks felt like tests. To avoid detection from an unknown party, Xu Mu deliberately employed his beast spirits to resolve the situation.

Subsequently, the group encountered two more attacks, each stronger than the last. The final attack even brought several desolate beasts of Martial Emperor level, but thankfully, Xu Mu handled them.

“Brother, we’re almost there! ”

Yue spoke, her eyes filled with both anticipation and fear.

The group continued some more before a gigantic, abrupt rock appeared before them.

Atop the rock, a white-haired figure sat with his back towards them, apparently meditating.

“In respect for the Ancestor, I won’t kill you. Get lost.”

A calm yet awe-inspiring voice echoed from the white-haired figure.
