Dragon's Origin

Wang Sheng welcomed the guys who were chasing him, fearing only that they wouldn't. If a demon beast from just the outermost few dozen miles of the Thousand Absolutes Ground scared them all off, then neither they nor their families would ever be able to hold their heads up again.

Tang Ao was already regretting it a bit. Had he known Wang Sheng was this troublesome, would he have been so bored as to take on this task? With his dignified fifth-level cultivation and a group of people, he was dealing with an insignificant barbarian. If he succeeded, people would say he was bullying the weak. If he failed, he would lose all face. What was the point?

But now he was stuck on a pirate ship and couldn't get off. He had to bite the bullet and go all the way. If Wang Sheng didn't turn back, they would have to follow him deeper into the Thousand Absolutes Ground.

The two fifth-level leading experts from the Song family and the Shi family had the same thoughts as Tang Ao. They wouldn't have come if they had known it would be like this. As long as they didn't provoke Wang Sheng, would he have bothered to attack them? Their families were just too bored. Especially the expert from the Song family, whose own young lady had a friendship with Wang Sheng. Why did he have to get involved in the pursuit?

After this experience, no one dared to rush out casually while Wang Sheng was resting. Following Wang Sheng's footsteps, after entering forty or fifty miles into the Thousand Absolutes Ground, everyone even had some different thoughts.

Following Wang Sheng, as long as they closely followed his footsteps, they hadn't encountered a single danger or trouble. The legendary powerful demon beasts had only been seen once, the six-star Earth-Splitting Bear. It was as if all the other demon beasts had disappeared.

In other words, either Wang Sheng clearly knew the distribution of demon beasts inside the Thousand Absolutes Ground, or he had a unique method to discover demon beasts in advance and then bypass them. Either of these deductions could excite any aristocratic family.

What kind of place was the Thousand Absolutes Ground? It was a land of death, a forbidden ground. But why were there still experts tirelessly rushing in to die? That was because the Thousand Absolutes Ground contained unpredictable treasures.

No one knew exactly what they were; each family had rumors passed down from their ancestors. But one thing was true: if they could really find a way to enter the Thousand Absolutes Ground, every aristocratic family would be willing to exhaust their family wealth to obtain it.

Wang Sheng stopped again, but this time it wasn't to rest. Instead, he suddenly adopted a defensive posture. This action startled all the experts following far behind. What was happening?

The battle awareness little man's warning was getting stronger and stronger. Although Wang Sheng didn't move, he felt more and more terrified. This could only indicate one situation: danger was actively approaching.

What was the danger? He didn't know. Perhaps it was a fierce, hungry demon beast, or perhaps it was a group of seemingly harmless insects. Before seeing it, no one knew. The only thing Wang Sheng could be sure of was that it was definitely a fatal danger, and it was approaching.

Wang Sheng hesitated for only a moment before hearing a faint sound of water flowing. At first, the sound was very weak, but it soon became clear.

How was that possible? How could there be a water flow here? Wang Sheng looked down at the ground. It was clearly a normal forest, with dense vegetation and normal undergrowth. There was no sign of water flowing. Where did the sound of water come from?

If it were a place that often flooded, the surface couldn't be so normal. At least there would be some traces of water erosion, and the surrounding plants should have obvious signs. But there was nothing here. It was very abnormal.

Wang Sheng frowned and listened for a while, and a possibility suddenly flashed in his mind. 'Crap!' Wang Sheng was shocked. Without saying a word, he found a large tree that looked strong enough to support his weight and had enough moisture, and quickly climbed up it.

The people behind him had no idea what Wang Sheng was doing. Seeing him suddenly climb up a tree, they thought Wang Sheng wanted to take the opportunity to escape their sight. Several impatient people took a few steps forward, wanting to see what Wang Sheng was doing.

Fortunately, Wang Sheng only climbed to the middle of the tree trunk and didn't climb any higher. Instead, he took out a linen robe from somewhere and began to tear it into strips, then wrapped them around the tree trunk. He wrapped a circle every few dozen centimeters, higher and higher. No one knew what he was doing.

The faint sound of water flowing also reached the ears of the tracking experts. Everyone looked at each other, puzzled. This was a mountainous jungle. Where did the water come from?

A flash flood? Not to mention that the weather was clear and rainless, there was no waterway here at all, and there was no trace of water intrusion in the surrounding area. How could there suddenly be a flash flood?

Not everyone could see Wang Sheng's movements very clearly. Most people only knew that Wang Sheng had climbed up the tree. What was going on? Why did Wang Sheng climb up the tree? Did Wang Sheng really think there was a flood coming, so he had to climb to a high place?

The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed. More than a dozen of the younger trackers with less experience laughed. This Wang Sheng had no common sense at all! There was no water at all. Why was he climbing so high?

Even if there was water, judging from the sound, it was just a small stream, the kind that wouldn't even submerge your ankles. Was Wang Sheng so scared by this little bit of water that he climbed up a tree? But what did the roars of demon beasts in the sound of the water mean?

Wang Sheng on the tree didn't care what these experts behind him were thinking. After continuously wrapping several circles of linen strips with intervals, he slowly slid down to the first circle of linen strips and began to apply oil to the linen.

This oil wasn't vegetable oil, but animal oil. To be precise, it was the fat of the Thousand Illusions Poisonous Serpent. It was left over after Wang Sheng ate the meat. This fat was slightly fishy when used for cooking, but Wang Sheng discovered during a barbecue that this oil was an excellent fuel.

Just a few drops of melted oil dripped into the fire during the barbecue, and the fire burned brightly for a long time. It was most suitable for igniting a fire.

After applying the oil to the first circle of linen strips, Wang Sheng used a rope he had bought in Shanglin City to make a safety rope, securing himself to the tree to ensure that he wouldn't fall even if he made a mistake. Then, he used his Tiger Tooth Saber to peel off a circle of bark above the cloth before looking down at the ground.

The sound of the water flow was getting louder and louder, rushing like a small stream flowing here. The roars of the demon beasts were also getting louder and louder, and even greater movements were coming quickly.

Tang Ao had never underestimated Wang Sheng, but he was still very puzzled by Wang Sheng's actions. Hearing this at this moment, he suddenly seemed to remember something terrible, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Before Tang Ao could warn anyone, the sound from that direction suddenly became clear with a bang. Then, dozens of demon beasts suddenly rushed into everyone's view.

The dozen or so experts who were rushing ahead bore the brunt, directly blocking the path of those dozens of demon beasts.
