Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Thunderous Roar

  The two War Kings of the Jiu You clan did not continue to pursue Lin Fan, but Lin Fan did not know that. Seeing that the two War Kings were not continuing to chase after him, he finally felt a sense of relief in his heart. The entire Jiu You clan was desolate and endless, with no signs of human life anywhere. Walking alone in the wilderness, Lin Fan felt like a lone traveler.

  After walking for less than a kilometer, stone houses appeared in the distance, simple but exquisite, surrounded by mountains on all sides, stretching for thousands of miles. From afar, it was exactly the Peach Garden beyond the world that Tao Yuanming had in mind.

  He was slapped by a man in black, and the war gas entered his body. Although he had no fear of death, he was seriously injured, and for three days he hadn't eaten anything. Lin Fan could hear his stomach strongly protesting.

  He patted his own belly, Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. He wasn't a fool, just by looking at why the two War Kings didn't chase after him, he could guess that something was amiss here. But what's important to know is that even with the combined strength of the two War Kings being incredibly powerful, they still didn't dare to easily enter the Jiuyou tribe, which already explained everything.

  At this moment, a few people walked slowly from afar, two men and two women, with ordinary looks that would be invisible in the crowd. Now that he was seriously injured, he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he quickly hid behind a huge boulder and only came out after the four people had gone far away.

  Looking around at the desolate surroundings, Lin Fan was speechless to the extreme, because from start to finish he hadn't seen a single living creature, not even a mountain chicken would do, his stomach's protests were getting stronger and stronger, if this continued, he would definitely starve to death. In the end, having no other choice, Lin Fan could only head towards the stone house in the distance.

  Lin Fan didn't return from the original road mainly because he was afraid that the two great war kings hadn't left the Jiuyou tribe, but were waiting for him outside the Jiuyou stele. Compared to the two great war kings, Lin Fan would rather choose to venture into the Jiuyou tribe.

  Soon, Lin Fan carried the black giant sword and held the small meatball in his arms to a location not far from the stone house. From a distance, it didn't seem like much, but when he got closer, Lin Fan realized that the entire stone house was like a small town, and even if it wasn't as big as Luoding City, it wasn't much different either.

  The bustling streets on both sides were filled with shouting voices, and Lin Fan found that the end of the entire street was a long granite staircase. The stairs were quiet all around, and not even a ghostly figure could be seen.

  Without bothering with anything else, Lin Fan made a five-element escape and caught a wild chicken. After plucking and washing it, he roasted it, and in less than half an hour, a fragrant roasted chicken was ready. Without caring about anything, he wolfed down the whole roasted chicken in an instant.

  A delicious meal, the remaining bones were given to Xiaorou, and after a person and a pig ate their fill, they walked towards the stone steps of the entire Stone House, with the Five Elements Escape as cover, not a single person from the Jiuyou tribe discovered Lin Fan's trail.

  Soon, Lin Fan arrived at the highest level of the stone steps, a platform above. The entire platform was empty, with only one black and shiny black passageway. After taking a deep look at the black passageway, things had reached this point, Lin Fan decided to explore the Jiuyou tribe.

  As soon as he stepped into the black passage, a cold breath rushed towards him, and Lin Fan couldn't help but shiver with his current strength, muttering to himself that it was so cold.

  The entire passageway was dimly lit, usually allowing only about five people to walk side by side. Lin Fan finally took the first step, and the dark glow could only vaguely see the front passage. If someone's eyesight was slightly poor, walking through such a passageway would be extremely troublesome.

  For the Jiu You tribe, Lin Fan was filled with curiosity. After all, a place that even the two great war kings were extremely wary of must have some mysterious aspects to it. And what Lin Fan discovered was that among the entire Jiu You tribe, this stone staircase was the most mysterious. Moreover, at the highest end of this stone staircase, there was only this one passageway.

  Within less than a hundred steps, Lin Fan's footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at the pair of bright red eyes above him. Bats! Lin Fan really hadn't expected that this black passageway would have so many dark red bats, densely packed together in a huge group, making one feel eerie and terrified.

  Although the dark red bat is just a demon beast, the dark red bat and the vulture are both gregarious creatures. At a glance, there are dark red bats everywhere, as if they fill the entire black corridor.

  Lin Fan felt a bit helpless, thinking that his luck might be too good, bats had highly toxic substances, and even a slight touch could lead to instant death. Moreover, there were so many dark red bats now, one bat's bite would probably take no time at all to completely dismember him.

  Based on the original understanding of bats on Earth, Lin Fan quickly retrieved all information about bats in his mind. Bats are social creatures that like darkness and generally appear at night. They are cruel by nature and carry deadly poison. Even if you don't provoke them, they will still attack you.

  Looking at the pair of bright red eyes staring at him, Lin Fan already knew that these dark red bats would soon launch a fierce attack on him. Although he had been nourished by the blood of the Purple Dragon earlier, Lin Fan was very clear in his mind that as long as the bat group started attacking, he would have no chance of escaping.

  Wu Xing Dun, Lin Fan no longer wanted to investigate at this moment, he just wanted to leave this ghostly place as soon as possible, lest he be torn apart by the bat group later. But before he could use Wu Xing Dun, the bat group that had been motionless suddenly started spewing dark red blood. In the blink of an eye, the entire passageway was filled with threads of dark red blood.

  Lin Fan's heart was trembling, for at this moment he shockingly discovered that his Five Elements Escape Technique had failed him once again. Ever since crossing over to the Eastern Xuan Continent, the Five Elements Escape Technique had always been his last resort for survival. Yet in less than a month's time, his Five Elements Escape Technique had failed him twice - once in the cave of the Purple Bamboo Violent Dragon and now in this nameless black passageway.

  Hehehehe……

  The dark red bats let out a burst of shrill cries, as if celebrating their control over the enemy and feeling excited, until the dark red blood surrounded Lin Fan in a circle, at which point the bat group that had been motionless finally moved.

  Each of the dark red bats was about half the size of a person, with an all-dark-red body, eyes like lanterns, and huge wings. One by one, the dark red bats flew towards their prey, densely packed, looking extremely terrifying.

  Lin Fan didn't sit idle, instantly drawing the black giant sword from behind his back. The first sword of War Dragon's Decree, "Hidden Dragon Ascending to Heaven", was swung out continuously. With Lin Family's Supreme Battle Armor equipped with the black giant sword, it indeed lived up to Lin Wushuang's words - only when one's cultivation reached the realm of a War Master could they truly unleash the might of the black giant sword and War Dragon's Decree.

  One after another, the dragon's roar echoed throughout the entire black corridor. Every time the giant black sword swung out, a dark red bat was cut in two, and a pool of dark red blood splattered all over the corridor.

  But the bats were like a group of dead soldiers, not caring about their fallen comrades in front, constantly charging forward as if they had been enraged, each dark red bat continuously letting out a shrill roar from its mouth, sounding extremely unpleasant.

  The continuous attack of the bat group will also wake up the sleeping little pig, slowly crawling out of Lin Fan's arms, staring at the dark red bats that are constantly coming towards him with two angry small eyes. The little pig suddenly let out a loud roar, although the sound was not loud, but what shocked Lin Fan was that as soon as the little meatball's roar sounded, the bat group that had been attacking him actually fell to the ground, one by one like they were frightened.

  What the heck is this? Lin Fan was deeply shocked by the little meatball's roar, he had just used his black giant sword to continuously cast "Hidden Dragon Rising Heaven" but couldn't drive away the bat swarm, yet the little meatball's one roar scared all the bats to the ground, what kind of concept is this?

  He picked up the little ball of meat from his arms and carefully examined the small pig in front of him. Since he got the little ball of meat, he thought that it was either sleeping or eating, except for occasionally being able to amuse him, it was completely useless.

  But now it's this little pig that I've always thought was useless, who actually has such incredible abilities. This one roar is simply earth-shaking and heaven-stirring, causing gods and Buddhas to yield and ghosts and demons to retreat.

  The little pig's roar was extremely overbearing, but it didn't thoroughly kill the bat group. After a brief recovery, all the bats that had fallen to the ground flew up again, using their icy eyes to stare at their prey once more. Perhaps intimidated by the little ball of meat's previous roar, the bat group did not immediately launch an attack this time, instead surrounding Lin Fan in a siege formation.

  Looking at the blocked surroundings, Lin Fan said to the little meatball in his arms: "Little Meatball, Little Ball, Little Meat, please roar again."

  No matter how Lin Fan explained, the little ball of meat in his arms just wouldn't budge, staring at him with a pair of adorable small eyes, who knows what it was thinking, rendering Lin Fan speechless. At this critical moment, the three-headed piglet was not cooperating, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

  Gradually, the bat group began to move towards Lin Fan again. However, this time the bat group did not attack together like last time. This time, only about seven or eight bats flew out of the bat group and moved towards Lin Fan.

  The little meatball was not giving its all, and Lin Fan couldn't afford to slack off either. He raised the black giant sword in his hand once again, unleashing the "Ascending Dragon" technique at the incoming bat swarm. After slicing through three bats, Lin Fan suddenly withdrew his black giant sword, clenching both fists as a dark and white aura emanated from them. The two remaining bats that had been full of life just moments before were instantly drained dry.

  Yin and Yang devouring, cultivated to the ninth turn of life and death decision, another heaven-defying technique obtained from the black small tower - Yin and Yang Devouring. It can devour the warrior's essence blood and battle energy. Lin Fan had always been hesitant to confirm whether his own Yin and Yang Devouring could devour other living beings. Now, after trying it out, Lin Fan finally confirmed that his own Yin and Yang Devouring not only could devour the warrior's essence blood and battle energy but also the bat's essence blood.

  After swallowing the essence of two bats, Lin Fan did not feel any increase in his strength. Was it because he had swallowed too little? In that case, he would swallow a few more bats to try.
