Chapter 805: The Price of Being Carried

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Peerless Saber Demon’s entire body tensed up, and it hoisted its snowy-white sabers at the ready as it glared at the approaching An Lin.

However, An Lin completely ignored it as his footsteps faltered, and he continued in another direction.

The groundhog’s expression faltered upon seeing this. Was the human male scared?

No! The groundhog came to a sudden realization; the human was only taking the ideal route that he had planned out for himself!

Many of the other beasts had also discovered this, and they all turned to An Lin with admiration and envy on their faces.

On one side, there were all these beasts trapped in a dire situation with less than ten percent survival rate, but on the other side, there was this man casually strolling through the stars as if to say, “Danger? That doesn’t exist here!”.

How could the beasts accept this?

A huge crocodile with its entire body submerged in liquid tremored as the protective fluid around it began to turn murky. It was so envious that it was shedding particles from its scales!

A huge yellow dog was gritting its teeth so hard that it was making a grinding noise, as if the harder it bit down, the more hatred it was expressing!

In comparison, the frog skipped along behind An Lin with undisguised joy and excitement on its face. It was commending itself for finding the best person to follow, and it was getting carried as a result!

That’s right, even though it was getting carried, this was still something to boast about!

After all, following An Lin was the best way to get out of this dire situation.

As for that groundhog? Thank God it hadn’t followed that stupid c*nt instead! Look at how it stood rooted to the spot like an idiot!

An Lin’s gaze constantly roamed around him as he maintained his Divine Inspection Technique and ran through a series of high-speed calculations in its head.

All the stars within this starry sky were constantly changing locations!

They were like real stars being influenced by faint gravitational forces as they revolved around extremely complex trajectories. If one didn’t survey the situation around them with extreme attention to detail, it would be very difficult to notice this.

The light shining from each of the stars stacked in layers under everyone’s feet, thereby forming the basis upon which they stood!

The type and amount of star power contained in each star was different, and they weren’t all equidistant away from one another either.

The stars in the sky were constantly moving, so the starlight stacked up underfoot would also be constantly changing. When there wasn’t enough starlight converging to one place, one’s footing would give away, and they would be engulfed by the starry sky…

The reason why An Lin was constantly maintaining his Divine Inspection Technique was so that he could find the best way forward! A path upon which the most starlight converged!

The distribution of the stars, their brightness, the trajectories at which they revolved, the amount of starlight converging underfoot…

All these parameters were within his range of calculations, and this applied to all the stars within a radius of several dozen kilometers.

The path he had been walking had been extremely stable and safe, thereby vindicating his judgment!

A black wolf finally couldn’t resist the urge to charge toward An Lin in order to follow him.

However, two of the stars close to the black wolf seemed to have been triggered as they flew toward the black wolf of their own accords.

Bam! Bam!

The black wolf’s body was punctured, and it died a gruesome death.

An Lin shot a glance at the deceased black wolf, as well as the stars hanging in the sky, and suspicion began to well up in his heart.

It looked like the stars struck according to the density of starlight converging under one’s feet.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the direction An Lin was walking in was taking his group closer and closer to the red floating continent. After looking up into the sky, they could already see the upside-down mushroom houses.

This was a very unsettling feeling. It was as if there were an upside-down world above their heads.Read more chapter on vipnovel

“I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel like the red light from that big mushroom has dimmed…” Xu Xiaolan suddenly uttered.

An Lin faltered slightly upon hearing this. He then turned to look at the red light exuding from the mushroom.

The red light was gentle, and it rippled like water.

“It really isn’t as bright as it was!” An Lin remarked with a hint of surprise.

This was an extremely important discovery! An Lin and the others knew that the attack unleashed by the restrictive barrier was constructed from that red light. Hence, did the dimming of the red light suggest that there had been a change in the restrictive barrier’s power?

An Lin turned toward the frog.

“Ribbit?” The Divine Poison Frog turned toward An Lin with a black expression, and it blushed slightly upon seeing An Lin’s scorching gaze. “Boss An Lin, what… What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that?”

An Lin was initially a bit hesitant, but it looked like he had no choice but to use this frog as a guinea pig, in case it developed a misunderstanding that An Lin was into some sort of frog fetish!

This thought had only just occurred to An Lin when he detected a living creature approaching him from behind.

He turned to discover a python enshrouded in darkness, making it appear as if it were a dark shadow.

The python was silently following the path that he had tread, and it stared at him cautiously with a pair of beady, yellow eyes while making preparations to escape at a moment’s notice.

An Lin: “…”

So it was trying to force An Lin into carrying it?

A cold sneer appeared on An Lin’s face. He really wanted to apologize as the An Lin carriage was not this easy to ride! Furthermore, this python really was looking down on him. To think that it would consider escape as an option in such close proximity…

He spread open his Wings of Wind and instantly tore through space!

The python was struck by an overwhelming sense of danger in that moment.

It immediately turned and fled without hesitation!

However, a golden light instantly appeared behind it as a scintillating golden fist tore through the darkness before crashing into its body.

Boom!

Devastating golden light exploded forth.

All the other beasts were dumbstruck.

The groundhog was also stunned. “He attacked? How does he have the guts to attack here?!”

This was an extremely perilous place, and everyone was moving extremely cautiously in fear of triggering something… This was also why the python had the confidence to follow An Lin.

However, An Lin attacked without any inhibitions.

His Mountain Quaking Fist had almost knocked the python unconscious, and he hoisted the python over a hundred feet in length on his shoulders like a gallant general before walking back to his team.

“Wh-what are you doing?” The python’s body trembled in fear.

In order to debilitate it and prevent it from resisting, An Lin continuously unleashed his Lightning Manipulation Technique to send electricity running through its meridians.

“I’m going to send you into the sky!” he replied.

The python was baffled. What did that mean?

An Lin pointed up at the floating upside-down continent with a smile. “I’m giving you a chance to obtain the Kirin Blood Jade. Are you feeling touched?”

The python finally came to a realization as it let loose an enraged roar, “I will take death before dishonor! I refuse to become an experimental subject for filthy humans like you!”

“Filthy humans?” An Lin blinked. “That’s not what you said when you risked your life to try and follow me.”

The shadow python: “…”

An Lin continued, “I’m going to hurl you into the sky, upon which you’re going to be oppressed by the starry ground and the pitch-black sky. Your only shot at survival would be to reach the floating continent as quickly as you can. Heaven and earth have reversed, so there might be a chance that the restrictions there have been lifted.

“This is all going to come down to your strength and luck. You’re a Soul Formation Intermediate Stage soul beast, so I have confidence in you.”

In response to An Lin’s words of encouragement, the shadow python only wanted to hurl abuse.

No, it was already hurling abuse. “I’ll %@mmp&(#`o ́)

“Ah…!”

A bloodcurdling cry erupted as the shadow python was hurled by An Lin into the sky with all his strength. It flew toward the upside-down floating continent in the sky like a cannonball!
