Chapter 1552 - 1485: White Bone Canyon

Time passed quickly, and nine days went by outside.

Outside, nine days passed, while inside the ancient castle, a full ninety days had gone by.

The cultivation of White-Eyed Wolf, Lu Hong, Fatty, Luk Zheng, and Ghost Snake Emperor made breakthroughs one after another.

However, the young lady of Phoenix Tower and Lo Qingzhu were both Nine-Star War Emperors, so naturally, further breakthroughs were not so easy.

As for Ling Yunfei.

These days, he had been managing bee sap within the spatial artifact, never showing himself.

As for Qin Feiyang, after this period of transcription, the fifth stroke was only half completed.

Which is to say a quarter of it.

The speed of transcription had doubled compared to when transcribing the fourth stroke.

However.

Qin Feiyang was very satisfied.

After all, according to outside time, only nine days had passed.

One morning.

A large canyon appeared upfront.

Inside the canyon, not a blade of grass was seen, but on the ground, there were heaps of White Bones, resembling a patch of hell.

Scorpion Emperor made a sudden stop before the canyon, observing it with apprehension, muttering, "Elder Qin, come out quickly."

Shua!

Soon after the words fell, Qin Feiyang appeared atop Scorpion Emperor, gazing at the canyon ahead, his pupils slightly contracting with surprise, "Why are there so many White Bones?"

These White Bones were all of fierce beasts.

Scorpion Emperor said, "This place is called White Bone Canyon, inside resides a group of creatures that devour humans without spitting out the bones. I think it's best to take a detour."

"Devour humans without spitting out the bones?"

"What creatures?"

Qin Feiyang questioned suspiciously.

"Ghost wolves."

Scorpion Emperor said.

"Ghost wolves!"

Qin Feiyang was astonished.

These were beings akin in renown to Ghost Snake Emperor.

Born without aura, like ghosts roaming the night.

Moreover, ghost wolves possess a unique ability.

They can absorb the moon's essence and elevate their cultivation suddenly by four small realms.

Which means at night, ghost wolves are incredibly terrifying creatures.

But during the day, their unique ability cannot be activated.

It is said.

In ancient times, people hunted ghost wolves during daytime.

But hunting ghost wolves was not easy.

Firstly, their aura could not be sensed.

Secondly, they only came out at night to hunt, usually hiding during the day, making it difficult to find them.

"Why do I dislike wolves so much?"

"It's because these ghost wolves occasionally came to harass us; some of these White Bones are from my clan."

Scorpion Emperor said disdainfully.

Examining the White Bones closely, Qin Feiyang discovered some corpse remains of ghost scorpions.

After contemplating for a bit.

Qin Feiyang asked, "If we detour, how long will it take?"

"The mountains on both sides of the canyon are also controlled by ghost wolves, to avoid the wolf pack, it would take about half a month."

Scorpion Emperor thought for a while and said.

"Half a month?"

Qin Feiyang was speechless.

The situation with Fire Qilin, Wealthy Elixir King, and the viper was unclear, and there was uncertainty about impending dangers.

So, time equates to life.

Half a month could not be wasted; passage through must be swift.

"By the way."

"There's another thing I haven't told you, these ghost wolves also control a water source location."

Scorpion Emperor said.

"What?"

"There's a water source location here?"

Qin Feiyang was astounded.

"Yes, it's at the canyon's end."

Scorpion Emperor nodded.

"This..."

Qin Feiyang was stunned.

Originally, he thought there was only one water source location within the Divine Sign!

"There are many water source locations within the Divine Sign."

"As far as I know, within a million miles radius, there are five water source locations, each occupied by powerful Beast Emperors."

"Moreover, these Beast Emperors, like the little crocodile, possess a Divine Artifact."

Scorpion Emperor said, eyes full of yearning.

"Five water source locations..."

"And each has a Divine Artifact..."

Qin Feiyang was dumbfounded.

Doesn't this mean that as long as he finds the other four water source locations, he could obtain four more Divine Artifacts?

His breathing became rapid instantly.

No wonder Emperor Hong had disregarded pride, kneeling before him to obtain a cluster of elixir fire to enter the Divine Sign.

With so many Divine Artifacts, who will not desire them!

No need to acquire them all; just one or two is enough to reign over a realm.

Previously unwilling to detour, hearing now about the water source at the canyon's end, detour is completely ruled out.

Per routine.

There's certainly Essence of Kui Water at the water source location here.

Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "Let's go, directly into the canyon."

"Are you sure?"

Scorpion Emperor asked.

"Of course."

Qin Feiyang nodded with a smile.

"You, knowing there are tigers on the mountain, insist on heading for the tiger mountain."

Scorpion Emperor shook its head helplessly, maneuvering its massive body, directly charging into the canyon.

Under its trampling, the bones on the ground were crushed to pieces.

The sound made anyone's scalp tingle!

Awooooo!

Less than ten breaths after entering the canyon, a wolf howl suddenly resounded from the front.

Scorpion Emperor's body stiffened, involuntarily stopping, gazing ahead, it saw a giant wolf standing on a rock platform halfway up a mountain, half a mile away.

Its size reached over ten meters.

The fur all over its body was a dark gray color.

Its two fierce eyes were blood-red, like two red lanterns, emitting a bloodthirsty glow!

"It really is a ghost wolf."

Qin Feiyang muttered.

Moreover.

Its cultivation wasn't weak either, a Nine-Star War Emperor!

The Scorpion Emperor scanned the surroundings vigilantly, whispering, "The appearance of one ghost wolf means we're now within the encirclement of ghost wolves."

"Encirclement..."

Qin Feiyang murmured, looking towards both sides of the canyon.

Indeed, behind some rocks, large heads could be spotted.

Looking back again.

A dozen or so Nine-Star War Emperor giant wolves blocked the canyon entrance, cutting off Qin Feiyang and the Scorpion Emperor's retreat.

"These guys really are like ghosts, surrounding us without a trace."

"But don't worry, with me here, we continue forward."

Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile.

"Yes."

The Scorpion Emperor nodded, walking forward while looking around warily.

Watching its cautious demeanor, Qin Feiyang couldn't help but smile, helplessly saying, "Can you hurry up? Is this all the courage you have?"

"Who says that?"

The Scorpion Emperor seemed to have its tail stepped on, nearly jumping up.

Qin Feiyang chuckled, "If you're not scared, then why are you so timid?"

"Who says I'm timid?"

"I'm just being cautious to ensure safety."

The Scorpion Emperor retorted justifiably.

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile, saying, "Enough talking, speed up, and don't dawdle like a woman."

"I'm not a woman!"

The Scorpion Emperor retorted angrily.

Its claws underfoot waved frantically.

As if a countless number of cleavers were chopping vegetables, it turned into a stream of light, gliding forward.

"Howl!"

Seeing the Scorpion Emperor not only did not stop but accelerated, the giant wolf standing halfway up the mountainside howled again, echoing through the canyon.

The roar was clearly mixed with a thread of anger and threat.

The Scorpion Emperor angrily shouted, "Howl your sister, see who I am? Keep howling, and I'll chop you up!"

The giant wolf's eyes filled with a murderous intent!

With a leap, it landed with a bang, blocking Qin Feiyang and the Scorpion Emperor's way.

"Even the Wolf King must give me face, and you dare to block my way, let me through immediately!"

The Scorpion Emperor roared angrily.

The giant wolf glanced at the Scorpion Emperor and fixed its eyes on Qin Feiyang: "You can pass through White Bone Canyon, but not this human."

The Scorpion Emperor said, "He is my friend!"

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"As the Scorpion Emperor, would you befriend a human?"

The giant wolf sneered.

The Scorpion Emperor said solemnly, "That's my business, not yours."

"Stop pretending."

"We have already received news about you, the Crocodile Emperor, the Ant Emperor, and the Spider Emperor."

"Your tribes have been slaughtered by humans."

"The water source governed by the Crocodile Emperor has also been destroyed."

"And now, you're bringing this human here, surely for the water source here."

"I warn you."

"If you don't want us to take action, immediately abandon that human, or don't blame us for being ungrateful and killing you too!"

The giant wolf grinned ferociously.

"Nonsense!"

The Scorpion Emperor was furious, its speed not only not decreasing but increasing, directly charging at the giant wolf.

"Stubborn!"

The giant wolf sneered coldly and dodged to the side like lightning.

The Scorpion Emperor dashed past, snorting coldly, "Dare to block the way again, and I will show no mercy!"

With that said, it left without looking back.

The giant wolf didn't pursue, it moved to the center of the canyon, watching the backs of the Scorpion Emperor and Qin Feiyang.

The wolf pack lurking around also emerged one by one, gathering behind the giant wolf, their eyes filled with cruelty as they stared at the man and the beast.

Suddenly.

One of the ghost wolves withdrew its gaze and looked at the giant wolf, saying, "Shall we slaughter them?"

"No rush."

The giant wolf glanced up at the sky and sneered, "They need at least three days to pass through White Bone Canyon, we have plenty of opportunities."

The ghost wolf pack heard this and immediately chuckled grimly.

Meanwhile.

Inside the canyon.

Qin Feiyang stood on the Scorpion Emperor's back, looking up at the ten suns in the sky, his face full of worry.

"Did you see that, boss?"

"That little wolf cub was so scared by me that it didn't dare to make a sound, and now it still dares to say I'm timid?"

The Scorpion Emperor boasted.

"Sigh!"

Qin Feiyang let out a long sigh.

"Why are you sighing?"

The Scorpion Emperor was puzzled.

Qin Feiyang did not answer, instead asked, "How long do you need to pass through White Bone Canyon at your speed?"

"Well..."

The Scorpion Emperor thought for a while and said, "It should take three days and three nights!"

"Three days and three nights..."

Qin Feiyang murmured, sighing, "That further confirms my suspicions."

"What suspicion?"

The Scorpion Emperor was curious.

Qin Feiyang said, "Those ghost wolves didn't act just now, not because they were scared by you, but because they have a plan. They intend to act at night."

"At night?"

The Scorpion Emperor was startled and suspicious.

"That's right."

"You have peak-level cultivation, and their strongest is only a Nine-Star War Emperor, so they know they can't kill you during the day."

"But once night falls, and the moon comes out, they can activate their innate ability."

"According to ancient records, their innate ability is sufficient to boost their cultivation to the peak of a Nine-Star War Emperor."

"This point, based on your familiarity with ghost wolves, I believe you also know."

Qin Feiyang said.
