A scream tore through the sky. The sharpness of the sound sounded like an awl piercing through the night.
The sound was a little familiar to Yue Yang. It sounded like the [Banshee Scream] of the Bloody Queen, but it neither had its distinctive mournfulness nor its soul-piercing reverberation. Instead, there was an agitative, raucous quality. Such a sound did not have as much killing power as the Bloody Queen’s [Banshee Scream], but it was unnerving and hateful for those who heard it, making them feel frustrated and irritated.
“That’s, that’s a harpy! Oh god, those are monsters from the Falling Cangue Mountain!” When the platoon leader saw the harpies outside the door, he started to shake in fear.
At that moment, countless flying-type beasts flew across the sky.
A few of them could be seen clearly in the flames, but most of them hid in the darkness higher up in the sky. One could only deduce that there were groups of flying-type beasts flying over their heads by the ripples in the air and the sound of the flapping of wings. Yue Yang’s eyes, with the shared power of [Night Vision] from Empress Fei Wen Li, could clearly see even in a black cave without any light at all, let alone now.
Within the span of Yue Yang’s vision, he discovered that there were at least tens of thousands of different flying-type beasts that were circling about in the sky.
Flying about at the highest altitude were giant eagles and dragons.
In the middle were harpies that had entirely black bodies.
These harpies were different from the harpies at the Bloody Queen’s Pavilion in Tong Tian Tower’s pavillon. These harpies looked exceedingly ugly and evil, with wrinkles all over their bodies, looking very disgusting as a whole. At the lowest level, there were some Flesh-eating Crows, Drummed Wing Lizards, Fur Membrane Mice, Flat Snakes and a large number of Giant Bats that were flying together. While making all sorts of noises, they searched for their targets, swooping down in various parts of the small towns and attacking the people. The screams that Yue Yang had previously heard were the sharp hisses made when the harpies swooped down towards the soldiers on the ground.
“Falling Cangue Mountain?” Ye Kong had never heard of this place before.
“Falling, Falling Cangue Mountain?” In contrast, Fatty Hai started to squirm in fear, looking like he had just seen a ghost.
“What is going on? Master Hai, quickly tell us what you mean!” Yue Bing had also never heard of this place before. Falling Cangue Mountain, was there such a place in Soaring Dragon Continent?
Yue Yang also started to keenly observe Fatty Hai’s reaction. However, suddenly, his ears picked up the sound made by another type of animal. It was very faint, but in Yue Yang’s ears, it was extremely distinct.
It made all the hairs stand up on his body.
That was the sound of crawling made by Giant Spiders, one of the Despair Abyss’s Three Greatest Killers. The low-level flesh-eating monsters that were previously lingering outside the town scurried about in fear as they tried to escape. However, other than the jackals and hyenas which moved the fastest, most of them could not escape from the Giant Spiders’ attack. Yue Yang went out of the door and leapt onto the roof, scanning the slope halfway down the mountain. His heart suddenly pounded…There were countless… thousands, or maybe ten thousands of Giant Spiders thickly dotting the entire expanse of the halfway slope, converging on Hope Town.
These Giant Spiders which had never left Despair Abyss had all strangely left their nest in full force, and were attacking Hope Town.
Yue Yang frowned.
If not due to deliberate temptation, it was impossible for so many Giant Spiders to leave the Despair Abyss, and it was even more impossible for all of them to hunt for food in Hope Town.
Under the roof, Fatty Hai was as white as a sheet. Wiping his cold sweat, his voice shivered as he spoke. “Falling Cangue Mountain is a scary place that is situated somewhere on a giant island in the middle of the sea. It’s very far from Soaring Dragon Continent and there are many scary monsters living them. It’s also called the Land Abandoned by the Gods, meaning that it is such a desolated place that it was even abandoned by the gods … In Soaring Dragon Continent, there are some extremely evil warriors who have committed the most heinous crimes that have escaped to it, forming a Demonic Palace, whose motto is exclusively to destroy peace and wreak havoc in Soaring Dragon Continent, with the destruction of humanity as its main mission. According to legend, Falling Cangue Mountain is a place that is even scarier than the Demon Abyss. All living things there are corrupted creatures … If anybody were to enter Falling Cangue Mountain, they would be assimilated into the evil spirits there and become unrestrained and corrupted beings!”
“Demonic Palace?” Ye Kong was speechless. He was shocked that Fatty Hai, whose knowledge could not normally measure up to ev
