"Huh! That's strange."

Wang Hao held Xiaoyueyue, landing on a tree.

Looking at the ground below as it closed, he felt a bit bewildered.

In his memory, the fissure seemed to be around this area!

Yet he saw nothing.

But not far from him, there was a long crack in the middle of the concrete ground.

Could it have erupted and then closed?

An absurd thought surfaced in Wang Hao's mind.

It felt kind of ridiculous.

However, upon careful consideration, it didn't seem impossible.

After all, in times like these, any bizarre occurrence is normal.

Using Iron Egg, he returned to the highest point, gazing into the distance.

The direction was towards the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.

There are many tombs within Purple Gold Mountain.

Among them, ancient ones like Sun Quan's Tomb and Zhu Yuanzhang's Tomb.

It's unknown whether previous tremors had damaged these two tombs.

If the anomaly in Purple Gold Mountain has any connection to the tomb owners.

These two people are quite formidable figures from ancient times.

Given the existence of cultivators, Wang Hao's perspective broadened.

Perhaps many things seemingly incredible in modern times were not exaggerations.

Maybe Zhang Fei and Guan Yu really were invincible.

Maybe Liu Bo Wen really was a divine calculator.

Maybe Xiang Yu really could lift mountains with peerless prowess.

Maybe Liu Xiu could really summon wind and rain.

Considering the absurdity of the current situation.

It's possible that the anomaly at Purple Gold Mountain really is related to these two.

He wouldn't be surprised if they emerged from their tombs with an army.

Besides!

There might be other major secrets within this mountain.

Perhaps some great figure's cave estate was here once.

After all, in novels, those cultivation masters often build their estates amidst famous mountains and rivers.

Now, Purple Gold Mountain is one of Jiangnan's four renowned mountains, and it was also very famous in ancient times.

"Unfortunately, all these are beyond what I can explore or seek now."

Wang Hao sighed deeply.

Currently, he's still too weak.

He can only passively accept, lacking the ability to actively uncover.

He instinctively glanced at his Blade of Plunder.

Even though he can now perform the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique, it's not like he can split a mountain with a single slash?

"Hm?"

Just as Wang Hao was pondering, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

He tapped the tip of his foot, leaping back.

The next second, a monster appeared where he had originally been.

"This..."

Seeing this monster, Wang Hao's pupils slightly contracted.

It was a creature he had never seen before.

The monster was extremely lean, almost just skin and bones, its black body gleaming with a metallic sheen, suggesting high defense.

Its hands on both sides were large curved blades, with sharp edges.

It looked somewhat like a mantis.

Wang Hao held Xiaoyueyue with one hand, gripping the Blade of Plunder with the other, with a hint of gravitas between his brows.

Is this Mantis Monster a level three monster?

Was it the light rain that evolved the Heart-Eating Ghost?

Or some mutated creature?

Mantis Monster leaped up, consecutively slashing in mid-air.

The next moment, a scene even more shocking to Wang Hao appeared.

The slashes turned into Qi Blades.

They slashed toward him.

Good heavens, this monster knows how to use skills?

Trying to ascend to the heavens?

Wang Hao squeezed the Blade of Plunder, spiritual power swirling, transforming it into a purple-gold color.

He blocked from left to right, deflecting the slashes.

Very heavy!

"Boom boom boom."

The slashes struck the rocks, blasting them into fragments.

Struck the ground, creating cracks.

Struck the large tree, causing it to fall with a crash.

Powerful!

"Bang!"

The Mantis Monster leaped high, its two large blades clashing against Wang Hao's Blade of Plunder, producing crisp metallic sounds.

In an instant, sparks flew, airwaves rolled.

Wang Hao's eyes sharpened, spiritual power surged around him, exploding instantly, sweeping with a slash.

The purple-gold crescent Qi Blade pushed the Mantis Monster's body back continuously, finally lifting it off the ground, sending it flying, breaking two large trees before stopping.

It let out an ear-piercing scream towards Wang Hao.

The surrounding monsters scrambled to hide.

"Very strong!"

This Mantis Monster was numerous times stronger than the Heart-Eating Ghost, Wang Hao's spiritual power surged ready to go all out.

Yet the next moment, something happened that left him dumbfounded.

The Mantis Monster turned and ran.

"This...."

Wang Hao dispersed his spiritual power, his expression growing more serious.

This Mantis Monster's intelligence was clearly far higher than the Heart-Eating Ghost.

After a brief confrontation, knowing it couldn't defeat him, it decisively chose to flee.

Not fearing monsters with high combat strength, but fearing monsters with intelligence!

Wang Hao had the mind to chase it.

However, the area was teeming with monsters.

Not all trees could hold people, and Xiaoyueyue was resting.

Catching up to it was too difficult.

He had to let it go.

Watching the Mantis Monster's disappearing figure, Wang Hao could not help but draw a big question mark in his heart.

Can humanity really revive?

At this rate, with monsters constantly evolving, humans might be extinct in a few years.

"Roar!"

The commotion from the battle earlier drew the attention of nearby monsters.

A large number of monsters surged towards Wang Hao.

Several Heart-Eating Ghosts even launched attacks on Wang Hao.

They weren't like the Mantis Monster, lacking such high intelligence.

Regarding these, Wang Hao wasn't bothered, however many came, he killed that many.

Even if they bathed in the light rain, greatly increased in strength, it was the same.

Easily killed them, extracting the Crystal Stone in the process, Wang Hao left this place, not wanting to waste time fighting these monsters here.

His target was the cable car ropeway up the mountain.

Wanting to descend directly was definitely not viable.

Utilizing tree hopping was possible, but with the existence of such Mantis Monsters, it's unknown how many there are.

If encountered, combined with monster encirclement, it would be quite troublesome.

The most convenient and straightforward method is to slide down the cable car ropeway, directly reaching the foot of the mountain.

This was the path Wang Hao had chosen to descend earlier.

This dangerous maneuver is certainly something ordinary people wouldn't dare attempt.

But for Wang Hao now, it's nothing notable.

If it really doesn't work out, there's always Xiaoyueyue's teleportation.

Wang Hao no longer wanted to mingle here, the appearance of the Mantis Monster made him feel threatened.

This thing, one or two are okay, but if ten or so were to appear, he probably couldn't handle it.

Better to slip away!

Only what you swallow becomes yours!

After descending, he'd go to Yang Tian's place and wait for him.

Wang Hao hopes this guy manages to snag one of those beads.

Then he can enjoy the ready-made ones.

Tie up Yang Tian, then go find Liu Zhiquan and see if he's willing to return to the villa district with him.

After that, he'd head home.

Counting the days, he's been out for half a month.

Time to go home.
