Now, the first obstacle in front of Gao Peng was to go across the world’s highest peak, the Qingtian Plateau, also known as the roof of the world, and the world’s first peak, Mount Everest. Of course, Everest could be avoided, but the detour would take more than 600 miles.
On the way, they would pass through the base city of Chuan Fu. The base city of Chuan Fu was a large-scale city in the southwest of the Huaxia District. It was also known as the land of Tianfu.
However, it was possible to rest a night in the base city of Chuan Fu. After staying in the wild for some time, Gao Peng kind of missed city life. In the Chuan Fu base city, a large number of yellow-haired scorpions had piled up like mountains in the center of the field. Their numbers were many, and they were densely packed.
Every scorpion with short yellow hair was swaying their claws fiercely. Each was generally six to ten feet long. Their bodies were strong, they had three rings on their shells, and at least one hundred thousand piles could be seen at a glance. Together, the sound of their claws hitting the ground echoed outside the city.
A large number of monster trainers with long-range attack capabilities were on the city wall, using various abilities to continue to attack the city’s short-haired scorpions. Heap after heap of ice arrows pierced the shells on the backs of the Yellow-haired Scorpions, and the shells were frozen, but the Yellow-haired Scorpions shook their bodies, and the icicles fell to the ground. Then they continued to move slowly and firmly, crawling undisturbed.
“These Yellow-haired Scorpions aren’t afraid of ice attacks. Fire familiars, prepare to use fire attacks.” A monsters trainer commanded on the upper city wall loudly.
“How did these Yellow-haired Scorpions suddenly increase in quantity? Didn’t they clear them out just half a year ago?”
“You happy-go-lucky idiot! The rate of reproduction is faster than the rate of killing them!” the next person scolded. “Might as well destroy these scorpions completely! Otherwise, they cause trouble every now and then.”
A giant wolf that was crimson, like fire, was standing and howling on the city wall. The air became hot, with the temperature rising gradually. Sparks of fire appeared on the periphery of the flames and gradually rose into the air. A trace of flame was intertwined into a series of fire rings. The thick flame quickly transformed into two fire rings from the sky and fell upon the group of Yellow-haired Scorpions, blowing them up.
“Ssst!”
A layer of earthy yellow light opened up from the ground at a very quick speed to block the flame.
Two giant scorpions that were several times larger than other yellow-haired scorpions crawled out of the scorpion pile, and the other scorpions around them evaded and kept at least 15 feet away from them.
The monster trainers in charge of the city wall looked solemn. “Two Lord-tier monsters exceed the Explosive Fire Wolf’s limits.”
“What happened to the other Lord-tier monster trainers? Why aren’t they here to provide support yet? What are those people doing?” This Lord-tier monster trainer’s tone sounded frantic.
The tall and thick city wall could resist average monsters, but to the Lord-tier monsters, the wall was just like a piece of paper, and one that would easily break with a poke.
“Committee Lei said that she will come over immediately,” said the monster trainer in charge of hospitality immediately.
“Committee Lei.”
This name sounded as if it held miraculous magic power. When they heard this name, the soldiers and monster trainers responsible for the defense on the wall felt relieved; some of the ambassadors even had smiles on their faces.
While speaking, the loud noises in the distance came slowly. A tremor of sound gradually closed in from the distance.
The Yellow-haired Scorpions under the wall were somewhat restless. As the leader, the Lord-tier Yellow-haired Scorpion made sounds in an attempt to calm down its creatures.
In the distance, a meat-mountain in black and white, furry, and with an embarrassing and silly disposition, ran forward brutally.
Roar!! With a leap, its thick legs were lifted up high before coming down roughly.
Boom!!!
A dark gold rune flashed suddenly in the next moment. Invisible shockwaves spread in all directions from where the feet landed.
All the Yellow-haired Scorpions were sent flying by the shockwave, the ground was split open, and only the sound of the clock was left between the heavens and the earth. The melodious and quaint bells had been echoing for a long time.
The elements in the air suddenly became chaotic. Wind, water, ice, wood, and metal… Like quicksand was lying at the bottom of the river, the clear rivers become cloudy again.
Some Yellow-haired Scorpions wanted to maximize the elements of the air but found that they had become violent and impetuous, so they could only use the elements that were accumulated in their bodies.
A large number of Yellow-haired Scorpions swayed in the ripples weakly.
…
“In front is the Chuan Fu base city. After passing through Chuan Fu base city, we’ll be in a barren area. Ever since the Cataclysm, there have been only a few people on the Qing Tian Plateau, and I don’t know what it’s like now,” Gao Peng said expectantly.
“Beast horde?” A black line emerged on the far horizon. When it grew nearer, Gao Peng saw many giant claws with short yellow hair running on the plains.

[Monster Description]: A monster with strong reproductive ability, ferocious and aggressive, it likes to work in groups to surround and hunts prey bigger and stronger than itself.
These Long-clawed Scorpions hadn’t been artificially bred. Instead, they were like wild monsters. It looked like they had come from the base city of Chuan Fu. The description said that they were fierce, and a group of scared fierce monsters was now running on the plains.
They might have wanted to attack the base city of Chuan Fu, but they were badly defeated. In a split second, Gao Peng had already deduced what had actually happened.
On the distant horizon, a huge monster was racing on the plain, along with the rumbling sounds of deafening footsteps.
Its round head was distinctly black and white. With a ferocious expression, it opened its huge bloody mouth. Roar!!!
Round?!
When did round become an attribute for a ferocious monster?

[Monster Description]: Land monster with strong defensive capability. Likes to eat, walks fast, and can swallow iron as food. After they satiate themselves with food and drink, they become extra lazy.
‘Will become dumb and stupid after being attacked by light,’ Gao Peng pondered. So is this the way Chiyou failed in the past?
“Youxi, don’t run so fast,” a female voice said from the back of the Iron-eater.
Gao Peng looked and saw that there was an anxious looking woman kneeling around the neck of the Iron-eater, squatting on its back with her hands tightly gripping the white hair on its neck.
Gao Peng saw her, and she also discovered Gao Peng instantly. After all, Stripey’s size was just plain obvious.
Were two horn braids growing on the head of this monster?
Lei Yunshi looked dumbfounded. Why does this monster look like this? Is that a braid on its head?
The next moment, the earth shook, and the ground slammed towards the Long-claw scorpion like a carpet falling down from the sky. The light yellow spiritual strength of the earth element transformed into a huge, thick, and sturdy mountain.
It was all dark. The Long-clawed Scorpions on the plain were totally submerged before they were aware of what was happening. In a split second, tens of thousands of Long-clawed Scorpions were smashed and crushed into powder.
