Chapter 368: Magic Beast Mountain Range Valley, Xiao Yi Xian???
The vast sea of trees swayed as the fierce wind swept through, creating wave like ripples across the dense forest. The howling gusts roared like ocean waves, spreading their sound throughout the entire mountain range.
Suddenly, a sharp whistling of wind pierced through the air. Several figures shot forward from the distance, their forms flickering before finally halting in midair.
Looking down, they saw an abyss like ravine with towering mountain ridges on either side, their imposing grandeur leaving one in awe.
Such sights were common within the Magic Beast Mountain Range, yet none had ever left such an unforgettable impression.
It had been years since Wu Tian last set foot here. Memories of the past flickered through his mind images of events that had taken place in this cave resurfaced, bringing a rare warmth to his heart.
Due to changes in the terrain, the valley's position seemed to have shifted slightly. Overgrown trees and thick underbrush now shrouded the area in desolation.
Sweeping his gaze across the dense forest below, Wu Tian's eyes suddenly lit up. Without hesitation, his figure darted forward at high speed.
The women beside him Medusa and the others also took a quick glance before swiftly following.
In an instant, Wu Tian had descended to the base of the mountain. His eyes scanned his surroundings, landing on a familiar pile of scattered rocks, patches of wild grass, and a few old, weathered ropes left behind for years. A smile crept onto his face.
Medusa, watching him closely, caught that fleeting smile in his eyes. She too harbored memories of this place after all, her Guardian Spirit Lord had once had a great deal of fun here.
Moreover, this was where he had rejected his first woman a woman named Xiao Yi Xian.
Unlike the others, Medusa knew Wu Tian's past better than anyone. She had accompanied him for so long, naturally aware of all the women who had crossed his path.
She was especially familiar with Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
These two girls had been brought back to the Snake People Tribe, not only because of their ambiguous relationships with Wu Tian but also because of their potential.
Yet, when they returned to the Snake People Tribe, neither Xiao Yi Xian nor Qing Lin were there only Qing Lin's old companion, the Two Headed Fire Spirit Snake, remained.
According to the snake, whom Wu Tian had named Da Huo, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had left for training, unwilling to become burdens on Wu Tian.
They had never returned since.
Still, no one worried Da Huo had a spiritual connection with its master. If something had happened to Xiao Yi Xian or Qing Lin, it would have sensed it.
Since it hadn't, it meant the two girls were perfectly fine.
Medusa, as the eldest sister, felt relieved.
Qing Lin had once protected the Snake People Tribe, earning Medusa's recognition.
As for Xiao Yi Xian her Constitution of Calamity Poison was powerful enough to wipe out an entire empire with ease. If she could master control over her poison, she would be a great asset to Wu Tian.
Of course, Medusa only acknowledged these women because they had a deeper connection with Wu Tian.
If it were any other woman?
The difference would be immense.
She turned her gaze to the deep, dark cave before them.
She had never asked Wu Tian about the words carved into the stone walls.
She had never questioned his hatred for Xiao Yan.
She had never even asked why Xiao Yan had vomited blood upon reading those inscriptions.
As a queen, she was a smart woman she understood that if Wu Tian wanted to tell her, he would do so when the time was right.
A faint, rich fragrance drifted through the valley, filling the air with a refreshing scent.
"The medicinal aroma here is even stronger than before. This really is a treasure trove," Wu Tian chuckled as he inhaled deeply.
"Of course it's a treasure trove. Do you even know who once graced this place? Wouldn't you agree, my dear Guardian Spirit Lord?"
Medusa raised an elegant brow, her ruby lips curving into a teasing smile.
Wu Tian: "…"
Standing beside him, Yun Yun examined the valley and cave before them.
A deep sense of curiosity flickered in her mind.
She had never been here before.
Wu Tian had found her in another cave within the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
So…
Could it be that something had happened in this cave as well?
Did that mean…
Wu Tian had rescued another woman in another cave within the Magic Beast Mountain Range?
Such a coincidence was almost too absurd to believe.
The Magic Beast Mountain Range was massive, but could it really be big enough for her man to have "rescued" multiple women in different caves?
That would be too much of a coincidence!
Her eyes narrowed as she studied Wu Tian, doubt and suspicion glimmering within them.
Wu Tian, of course, could feel the scrutinizing gazes of the women around him.
Especially Yun Yun he could tell exactly what she was thinking.
But the problem was…
She was right.
He really had encountered two different women in two different caves within the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
To be precise, one had been rescued Yun Yun and the other had been stolen Xiao Yi Xian.
One was taken with gentle hands.
The other was snatched with… well, not so gentle hands.
The valley's rocky cliffs were draped with lush green vines, beneath which several hidden magical beasts lurked.
These creatures were familiar to Wu Tian.
He had no intention of harming them.
They, in turn, did not attack his group.
It wasn't because they feared his strength.
To these beasts, Wu Tian's aura was concealed they couldn't sense his overwhelming power.
No, the reason they hesitated was because of Zi Yan's presence.
Even Medusa, a Dou Zong, could feel the immense pressure of Zi Yan's Primordial Void Dragon bloodline.
For magical beasts, it was an absolute suppression.
As the future Dragon Emperor, Zi Yan stood above all magical beasts.
No creature could dare defy her.
"I didn't expect to find fourth rank magical beasts here," Medusa mused, her gaze scanning the black serpents coiling along the cliffside. "Could they have been drawn here by the rare medicinal herbs?"
Wu Tian shook his head.
"No… They weren't drawn here. They were raised here."
A knowing smile formed on his lips.
"Xiao Yi Xian, is that you?"
His voice echoed through the valley, carrying an unmistakable hint of joy.
But…
No one appeared.
Medusa sighed, shaking her head in exasperation.
"It seems she has already left," she muttered. "That foolish girl… she doesn't want you to see what she has become."
Wu Tian's eyes shifted toward a certain spot in the sky.
A faint smile tugged at his lips.
"Don't worry… we'll meet again soon."
He turned back to the group.
"For now, let's take care of this little glutton's Transformation Pill first."
