Emperor of the North Chapter 610

Chapter 610 - The Gray World

Li Mu discovered that a gigantic whirlpool had appeared in the distant horizon. The whirlpool of whirlwind stirred the wind and clouds in all directions, and was charging towards them at a speed that was difficult to be seen by the naked eye.

This whirlpool was over a thousand meters wide. No one knew how high it was because it was so high that even half of the ground had long since disappeared into the clouds.

From afar, it looked like a gigantic sandstorm, approaching Li Mu with a destructive aura. The sandstorm swirled around like a tornado, carrying the aura of destruction with it.

"AHH!" How could it be these five hundred years of crazy, despairing sandstorms! It was over. This is it! "

The single-horned yellow python that was suffering from the pain of losing its tail naturally noticed the huge tornado as well. Its voice was filled with fear, as if it was extremely afraid of the huge tornado.

Its entire body was trembling, but it did not move, preparing to escape. It just stood there in its original position, and had even forgotten that it and Li Mu were still in the midst of a hostile battle.

As for Li Mu, he was stunned by the sudden scene in front of him. It was not that he had never seen such a magnificent scene, but it was still his first time seeing such a terrifying scene.

Li Mu quickly reacted, the river crossing step beneath his feet moved, he wanted to escape in one direction, but just as Li Mu flew out for a distance of 100 meters, a destructive pulling force suddenly swept out from the center of the tornado. In a blink of an eye, it covered an area of 10 kilometers, and completely sucked in everything within a few kilometers, with it as the center.

Although this yellow storm looked extremely imposing, it was nothing to this stormy desert which took up an enormous amount of s.p.a.ce. It was merely a drop of sand in the ocean, and when the storm pa.s.sed, Li Mu, the Single Horned Yellow Sand Python and the Epochrion, who had been following Li Mu in the air, had all disappeared.

After being sucked in by the tornado, Li Mu only felt dizzy and disoriented. Under the effect of the violent air currents, his body was scurrying all over the place in the huge tornado, Li Mu finally knew why the single-horned yellow sand python did not run away, because it was simply impossible for it to dodge. In his panic, Li Mu kept the Herba Cunninghami in his hand back into his storage ring, just as he was about to find the birdy that was sucked into the tornado, his head suddenly felt pain, as though he had b.u.mped into something.

"Squeak!"

After who knows how long, a sharp bird cry woke Li Mu up from his coma. Li Mu was a little confused, he rubbed his eyes, then shook his head, and after confirming that he was fine, Li Mu slowly sat up.

Li Mu, who had sat up, looked around. He discovered that he was currently inside a simple and crude stone cave, and beside him stood a bird with a body that had shrunk to a meter long.

"A bird of prey, what kind of place is this? I am not … Didn't I get sucked into that d.a.m.ned sandstorm? I remember that after the sandstorm appeared, that single horned yellow sand python said that it seemed to be called something … "Desperate, berserk sandstorm …"

Although he knew that the bird could not speak, Li Mu knew that the other party still possessed a certain level of intelligence. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the other party to continue protecting him.

In response to Li Mu's question, the bird of prey immediately transmitted a strand of its consciousness to Li Mu, roughly saying that it did not know where this place was. After it awakened, it relied on its reaction to the wisp of primordial spirit that was left on Li Mu's body to find him, and even brought the unconscious to this cave.

From the moment the bird had discovered him, three days had already pa.s.sed. This meant that Li Mu had been unconscious for at least three days, and the thing that caused Li Mu to be most speechless was that the bird had wished for him to take a look outside the cave.

Li Mu didn't know why the bird of prey wanted to take a look outside the cave. He stretched his body and discovered that other than the fact that he was slightly sore, he didn't suffer any major injuries. Li Mu knew that this was due to the strength of his own body.

At the same time, he also curiously spread out his powerful Spiritual Sense, wanting to find out where exactly this place was. However, what made Li Mu's face change was, his Spiritual Sense could only spread out to a distance of ten meters, but this place could not even expand too far away from his body.

"Strange, strange, strange! What exactly is this place? Let's go, bird of prey!" Let's go out and take a look! "

Li Mu called out to the bird, and then, he walked towards the only exit of the cave. Just as he reached the entrance of the cave, his eyes suddenly shone, what appeared in front of him was still the barren and desolate storm desert, and what appeared in front of him was a dusky world. The only reason why Li Mu could see that it was a dusky world was because the exit of the cave was built atop a steep mountain peak.

The sky in this dusky world was gray, there was no sun, no moon, and no clouds. It gave off a very gloomy feeling.

"What the h.e.l.l, why is it like this, I can't even sense a trace of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, what kind of place is this, even if that despairing storm blew me away a hundred thousand miles, I should still be in the northern part of Yuheng Continent, I have never heard of such a strange place without any Essence Qi."

Li Mu puzzledly muttered to himself. After pondering for a moment, he called out to the bird, and then he jumped onto the bird's back. Just like that, they flew out of the cave, which was built on top of a tall mountain.

After flying out of the cave, Li Mu wanted to confirm the direction, but what made him speechless was that the sun did not exist in the sky, so he could not differentiate between north, south, east and west. Helpless, Li Mu could only use the mountain behind him as his coordinate and quickly fly in one direction.

Li Mu stood on the back of the bird of prey and looked at the rapidly receding ground below him, his expression becoming more and more gloomy. Li Mu flew for an hour, and what made him speechless was, this gray colored land seemed to never end, no matter how Li Mu tried to fly in one direction, he could not see the end of it. Not only that, Li Mu did not even see any other living beings, and of course, this was mainly because Li Mu's spiritual perception could only extend to a distance of ten meters, and was not able to carefully investigate the situation on the ground.

Standing on top of the bird of prey, Li Mu flew for another hour. What made Li Mu almost go crazy was that he still did not make the slightest bit of progress in this hour, let alone finding the exit, he did not even see an ant.

"That's not right!" ~ Could it be that this place is no longer in Yuheng Continent? "I remember that after being sucked in by that berserk despairing storm, my body was sent flying by that strong current. At that time, I was unable to control my body at all, and then it seemed as if I collided with something before I lost consciousness …"

"I guess it won't take more than five days at the most. Could it be that the gust of wind will blow me out of the northern part of Yuheng Continent? "This is too ridiculous, I've never heard Qing`er mention the existence of such a storm in the Tempest Desert. What's more, even if Qing`er doesn't know of it, Master should also know of it!"

After flying for a long time without any results, Li Mu and the bird of prey landed in an extremely ordinary looking valley.

These trees looked no different from some of the most basic plants in the cultivation world. The reason why they were so special was because these trees were all black, regardless of their size or variety.

Li Mu tried to break a piece of the branch, but he discovered that the inside of the branch was also black.

It's really a strange place. The sky is gray, there's no sun, no moon, no stars, even the clouds don't have heaven and earth origin energy, and the suppression on one's spiritual consciousness is extremely severe. There aren't any living creatures, only some plants.

Li Mu looked at the black tree branch in his hand as he muttered to himself gloomily. Suddenly, the bird's feathers all stood up, and even let out a low hiss. Seeing that, Li Mu immediately looked around, but he did not see anything special.

"Bo!"

Suddenly, a clear earth-shattering sound came from a place not too far away from Li Mu. Although Li Mu's spiritual awareness could not travel too far, his ears were still extremely sharp, at his level of cultivation, his six senses were already not something a normal mortal could compare to. The first thing Li Mu did was discover the source of the earth-shattering sound, and he stared straight at the source of the sound.

This black beetle looked like a ladybug. Other than having a round sh.e.l.l, it also had three pairs of transparent wings on its back, and what shocked Li Mu the most were the black beetle and its mouth, which was filled with dense rows of fangs. It looked extremely ferocious, and didn't look like a kind person at all.

"There's actually something alive!" I thought there was just me and the bird in this d.a.m.ned place. "

Although Li Mu was somewhat surprised by the somewhat sinister looking black beetle, he was still quite happy in his heart. The fact that there were living beings in this place meant that it was not a completely sealed off place, and he could also find an exit to leave from.

"Hiss …!"

Just when Li Mu felt that there were actually living things here, the beetle that broke out of the ground was extremely excited when it saw Li Mu and the bird of prey. It seemed as if it had seen food as drops of unknown mucus flowed out from its mouth, and this mucus seemed to be a little like saliva, as the black beetle actually drooled when it looked at Li Mu and the bird of prey.
