C786 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows It

Traveling along the provincial road for several hours, they had already distanced themselves from the hustle and bustle of the world, which was called Shen City.

In front of him was the Southern Barbarian Mountains which had risen continuously.

The entire mountain range was covered with verdant and lush trees.

Even though the karst landscape was dense with trees, it was not an exaggeration to say that people kept the primordial forest in place.

Lin Xuan drove the car to the foot of the mountain. He found a slightly open space and parked the car.

Carrying a simple backpack, he headed deeper into the Southern Barbarian Mountains.

His figure had just entered the dense forest where Southern Barbarian Mountains was located when a jeep that was travelling across the fields came over from the provincial road of Shen City. It headed towards the foot of the mountain on the other side and stopped the car steadily.

The door opened and they jumped off the car. With Wang Hao and Mu Qian leading, behind them were a few sturdy men dressed in camouflage clothes. Their robust bodies and muscles were all over.

This time, Wang Hao and Mu Qian could be considered as having committed a crime. If they could secretly follow Lin Xuan and find Ganoderma Lucidum, Dragon-blooded Cinnabar Fruit, Jade Bone-ed Celestial Orchid, these few medicinal ingredients, they would be able to make the crime come true.

Otherwise, their only option was to die.

When Wang Hao brought his men to Feng Ya Residence, not only were they unable to get a map of Ganoderma Lucidum, Dragon-blooded Cinnabar Fruit, Jade Bone-ed Celestial Orchid, and Sky Marrow's medicinal herbs, they were also beaten up by Lin Xuan.

If he had not cultivated the Heart Devouring Formula that he had not intentionally imparted to Su Yun, he would have died a violent death.

As for Mu Qian, last time he was in The Sea World, he was also heavily injured by expert Xun Tian, but unintentionally saved him, leaving behind his life.

He found out that the Ganoderma Lucidum s, Dragon-blooded Cinnabar Fruit s, Jade Bone-ed Celestial Orchid s, and other medicinal herbs were going to be collected from the Southern Barbarian Mountains, so he accidentally sent Wang Hao and Mu Qian to secretly follow Lin Xuan. In one front and one rear, he came to the Southern Barbarian Mountains.

In addition, they also sent a few demonized mercenaries who specialized in jungle warfare to increase Wang Hao's and Mu Qian's strength.

This also meant that in order to enter Southern Barbarian Mountains, he had to pick the Ganoderma Lucidum, Dragon-blooded Cinnabar Fruit, Jade Bone-ed Celestial Orchid, and Sky Marrow s. To Lin Xuan, this was a dangerous journey.

Especially when Wang Hao, Mu Qian, and a few other Demonized Mercenaries followed closely behind him. To him, they were like mantises stalking cicadas and the oriole was right behind them.

However, when Wang Hao, Mu Qian and the rest entered the mountain forest and followed closely behind Lin Xuan, about ten minutes later, a silver Maybach arrived at the foot of the mountain from the direction of Shen City, and similarly stopped at the foot of the mountain.

The car door opened and the first to come out was Xiao Chuchu, who had changed into a set of mountain climbing equipment, as well as an old man who was not considered tall.

"Miss, are you sure you want to follow me into the mountain?"

A trace of dim light flowed in the old man's eyes. It was a type of Yin Fiend Qi.

"In my opinion, why don't we wait here for a while. Whether it's Lin Xuan or the others, if we get Ganoderma Lucidum, Dragon-blooded Cinnabar Fruit, Jade Bone-ed Celestial Orchid, we can all do whatever we want. Isn't it better to snatch the herbs and get the Map Fragments s?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuchu said resolutely, "Uncle Kun, if you don't want to enter the mountain, you can wait here. I must enter the mountain."

"Think about it. These people, let's not talk about their origins. If there were to be a conflict deep in the mountains and in the forest, both sides would suffer, and both sides would suffer. Wouldn't they be unable to obtain anything in the future?"

Kun Wu hesitated and then frowned. A trace of coldness flashed across his sinister eyes, "Okay, miss. Don't be rash. I'll wait here."

"Alright! Uncle Kun, stay here and help me. "

Xiao Chuchu walked up and disappeared into the Southern Barbarian Mountains. Although the forest was filled with thistles and thorns, she wasn't as delicate as the young miss of a wealthy family, and instead, with her nimble figure, she snuck into the mountain forest.

The mountain wind was biting cold and incomparably valiant.

Lin Xuan followed the direction the Map Fragments was pointing to and climbed up the stairs.

In this desolate forest deep in the mountains, the shrubs towered into the clouds. The luxuriant leaves covered the sky, making the shade of the trees appear especially gloomy.

Some of the trees were as thick as two people, and their trunks were spread out between the trees.2

At the same time, the strange rocks were craggy and covered with all kinds of mossy blue stones. They looked like monsters crawling on the ground in the mountains.

From time to time, the sound of insects and birds could be heard from the treetops, or it could be said that when he walked into the forest, he scared birds and beasts so much that he jumped out from the thicket of thorns beneath his feet.

If it wasn't for Lin Xuan who was a brave warrior, he would have been frightened by the sight of these weird birds and beasts.

However, Lin Xuan did not care about this. He knew in his heart that the Ganoderma Lucidum, Dragon-blooded Cinnabar Fruit, Jade Bone-ed Celestial Orchid, and Sky Marrow he was looking for would definitely be in the depths of the Southern Barbarian Mountains, not the mountainside.

Thus, he could only continue deeper into the forest.

After walking for a while, he used his keen consciousness to think that there was someone following him.

However, when he turned around to take a closer look, there was nothing.

He smiled bitterly to himself and tried to comfort himself. Perhaps it was a hallucination that occurred when he was alone in such a deep forest.

This mountain looked no different from a primitive forest, how could there be a person here?

Thus, he continued onward.

He walked for nearly half a day before he finally climbed to the peak of a small mountain at the foot of the mountain.

The Southern Barbarian Mountains fluctuated continuously, and it was unknown how many of these peaks extended into the distance.

What was even weirder was that the peaks of the mountains came in wave after wave like waves.

After reaching the top of a small mountain, they had to start walking towards the peak of another mountain. Then, they had to go down the mountain and climb up again.

The trend of the mountain range extended all the way up. There were a series of steps stacked on top of each other, like a mountain. One step after another, was followed by a flight of stairs.

However, this kind of staircase was a separate hill, winding down a cove before climbing up to the top.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, as expected of Southern Barbarian Mountains.

This kind of mountain range was truly unfathomable.

According to the Map Fragments that Zhang Sizhen provided, those medicinal plants were on the last few peaks of the mountain.

In this way, he could only follow the ridge and continuously climb to the highest peak.

As the mountain air thinned out, Lin Xuan also felt a chill coming down his spine. Borrowing the cover of the dense foliage, he realized that night was about to come.

It seemed that he would have to look for a resting place for the night.

This was especially true in the depths of the forest. It was naturally not safe to travel in the dark of the night.

Thus, he began to search for a place to rest.

In the mountain forest, only some natural cave made out of stone and some big tree holes were suitable for resting.

Lin Xuan's first choice was to find a stone cave. After all, Southern Barbarian Mountains was mainly a karst cave, so finding a stone cave wasn't difficult.

As he continued on his journey, he also searched for a cave that could shelter him from the wind and rain. As long as he found a suitable place to stay, he would be able to stop and sleep for the night.
