Chapter 314 â Stone Golem
âFuck his granny! Looks like we indeed wasted our time by coming here.â
Old Man Ling Shan said in a gloomy manner.
âWe, as rogue cultivators, donât even have any talented juniors. If we did, we could still let out juniors enter and try their luck.â
Another Combat Soul warrior said.
âDaddy will find myself a genius disciple after leaving this place! This is too depressingâ¦â
The Golden Lion was even more depressed that the others. The Island of Ice had reappeared, but all he could do was stare at it, nothing else. Those mighty warriors from the superpowers were better than him, and although they too couldnât enter the place, they could still bring the ones from the younger generation along and let them enter.
At this moment, a man suddenly arrived in front of everyone. It was none other than Master Blissful!
âWhatâs going on? Why arenât you proceeding further? Also, who killed all those people in the desert?â
Master Blissful looked at the Golden Lion and the rest of the warriors and asked.
âI killed them all.â
Jiang Chen responded to Master Blissfulâs question. Only now did Master Blissful noticed Jiang Chen and the others in his group. His expression had a slight change as he recalled the brutal scene left behind in the desert.
âUnderstood.â
Master Blissful let out a sigh as he nodded his head. He knew what happened between Jiang Chen and all those mighty warriors, and when thinking about how everyoneâs cultivations were restricted upon entering the desert, it wasnât hard for Master Blissful to understand what happened. Even so, Master Blissful still admired Jiang Chenâs courage. Because, even for him, superpowers like the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan were not someone he wished to offend at all.
âWhy is Master Blissful only here now?â
Jiang Chen asked, curiously.
âI bumped into some troubles back at the bottom of the ocean, and I didnât expect the Island of Ice to reappear. As for you all, why are you still here?â
Master Blissful threw his glance at the nine paths, and couldnât help but ask.
âMaster Blissful, we canât enter, even you canât enter. These paths are really bizarre, only those are under 30 years old are allowed to enter. Those older than thirty will die immediately upon stepping onto the path.â
Old Man Ling Shan said with a smile on his face.
âWhat?!â
Master Blissfulâs expression changed.
âMaster Blissful, what Old Man Ling Shan said is correct. This is what weâve found out.â
Nangong Wentian said.
Hearing the cruel fact, Master Blissful was stunned on the spot. In the next second, he could really see that all those who stepped onto the paths were all young man. Finally, he couldnât help but let two words escape from his mouth, âThe fuck?!â
Regarding most men, this situation indeed left them speechless. The treasure was right in front of them, but they could only stare at it! It was really difficult to explain the feeling.
âThis is fate. When the current emperor entered the Island of Ice, I believe he was only 20 years old. But, unfortunately, the Island of Ice only appears once every 100 years, we can only blame the fact we werenât born at the right time. As for now, what we can do now is find a way to leave this island somewhere else. If weâre lucky, we might be able to find some treasures along our way.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Golden Lion said. Although all these 30 year old and above warriors felt extremely depressed, this was a fact they had to accept; there was nothing else they could really do. They couldnât just ignore the rules and kill themselves by stepping onto the path.
âLittle Chen, letâs delay no more, we need to quickly enter!â
Nangong Wentian was really impatient.
Jiang Chen once again furrowed his brows. For the first time in this life; he was feeling uncertainty!
âLittle Chen, whatâs wrong with you?â
Han Yan could finally see an ugly expression on Jiang Chenâs face.
âNothing.â
Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
âIf nothing, letâs hurry up and enter!â
Big Yellow was impatient as well.
âHey Big Yellow, just how old of a dog are you? Donât get yourself killed!â
Nangong Wentian turned to Big Yellow Dog and said.
âGet lost! Youâre the old dog! Damn it! Daddy is a mighty and formidable being! Iâm still young, how could I possibly be more than 30 years old?!â
Big Yellow bared his teeth and threw an angry glance at Nangong Wentian.
Jiang Chen didnât know what to do at this moment, but no matter what, he couldnât let go off this rare opportunity in front of him. Furthermore, he could really feel something beckoning for him within this Island of Ice.
âLetâs go!â
Jiang Chen grit his teeth; he had to do it no matter what!
âWhich path should we choose?â
Han Yan asked.
âAny one of them. It wonât be a peaceful journey no matter which path we choose.â
Jiang Chen simply threw his glance at the fourth path. He took a deep breath and started walking toward it with vigorous steps.
âMaster Blissful, weâre leaving now. If I do find some good treasures, Iâll share a portion with you when I return.â
Nangong Wentian started laughing, and he was the first one to step onto the path. He was about the same age as Han Yan, about 20 years old this year. Therefore, he had no issues proceeding further.
In the blink of an eye, Han Yan, Big Yellow, and Nangong Wentian had all stepped onto the path. Jiang Chen once again took a deep breath, then he finally took a big step and stepped onto the path as well. In an instant, he could feel his soul trembling, which stunned Jiang Chen. But luckily, the trembling only lasted for a second, and Jiang Chenâs situation stabled down immediately.
Haa~
Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, he could relax.
âDamn, I was lucky it only selected based on age of the body, and didnât touch my soul. If it did touch my soul⦠with daddyâs millennium old soul, I would instantly die.â
Jiang Chen inwardly felt very lucky.
âLittle Chen, why can I feel thereâs something wrong with your emotions?â
Han Yan curiously asked. After having been with Jiang Chen for so long, Jiang Chen had always remained calm no matter what he was facing; no matter how bit the obstacle, of how dangerous the situation was. Not once has Jiang Chen had such a big fluctuation in his emotions.
âNothing, I was just thinking about something else just now. Letâs go, I donât think the path in front of us is going to be safe, we better be extra careful.â
Jiang Chen reminded everyone. Cultivating the Great Soul Derivation skill had given him extraordinary senses, he could accurately sense the unusualness of this Island of Ice. But, great danger was always accompanied by great opportunities. In order to obtain an incredible treasure, they would have to be prepared for the danger awaiting.
âAlright.â
Han Yan and Nangong Wentian both nodded their heads. In such an environment, even with their strong cultivations, they would have to be extra careful. This Island of Ice was filled with a lot of bizarre things, and the paths they were now walking on had even killed a Combat Soul warrior! It wasnât difficult to imagine what would happen if the devastating force was applied to them; they would too be killed in an instant!
Tap⦠tapâ¦
The path was really quiet, and silence filled their journey. The only sound they could hear was the sound of their footsteps. The group walked the path with solemn expressions, trying to be as careful as possible.
âI have a feeling that this path is going to be long.â
Nangong Wentian said.
âThere are cracks everywhere on this path, and itâs emanating an ancient aura. I wonder how many years it has existed, itâs really giving me an eerie feeling.â
Han Yan furrowed his brows.
âEverything here looks unusual, so we canât be too careless. Iâm sure this path wonât be peaceful.â
Jiang Chenâs instincts told him that this path wouldnât be as peaceful as it seemed.
The group walked forwards for nearly an hour at a consistent speed. Suddenly, they heard a miserable shriek sound out not far in front of them!
The shriek sounded really eerie, as if it came from an inhuman creature.
Jiang Chen and the group sped up, and shortly after, they saw a man motionlessly lying in a pool of blood about 30 meters in front of them.
It was a shocking scene, the manâs head had completely exploded! All that was left was a headless body. Blood flowed out from the neck, and it looked very frightening.
âHeâs the man who entered before us. What a pity.â
Han Yan said.
âThis man was an Early Divine Core warrior, and judging from the wound, his head must have exploded from a punch. It doesnât seem like he was able to fight back either.â
Nangong Wentian said.
âBe careful, some unknown creatures might live here.â
Jiang Chenâs eyes lit up.
âHow can you tell?â
Nangong Wentian asked Jiang Chen.
âNot many people chose the same path as us, and none of them had incredible cultivations. At least, none of them had the ability to make an Early Divine Core warriorâs head explode, much less the ability to do so without him being able to fight back. Also, there are no treasures here, so thereâs no reason to fight amongst each other. Before leaving the paths, I donât think anyone will have a desire to fight amongst each other.â
Jiang Chen concluded.
âLittle Chen is right. Since the warrior wasnât killed by a human, there must be some other creatures hidden around.â
Han Yanâs expression changed slightly.
âCareful!â
Jiang Chen suddenly shouted out loudly. With extremely fast speed, he punched toward Han Yanâs back.
Bang!
A loud bang was heard. Jiang Chenâs fist had hit something.
Han Yan immediately turned around. What he saw was a huge rock much taller than him standing behind him. It was a gigantic yellow stone golem, and it had clearly existed for quite a long time.
The huge stone golem had hands and legs, and its appearance resembled a humanâs. The only difference was that it didnât have any facial figures, it was a rock that could move around. It gave an eerie feeling to those who looked at it.
Crack⦠crackâ¦!
Having suffered Jiang Chenâs heavy punch, cracks started appearing on the stone golemâs body. Soon, it shattered, and small rock pieces were scattered around the place.
âDamn it, what is this thing? Where did it come from, and why couldnât I sense it behind me?â
Han Yan couldnât help but curse. He felt really scared right now. If not for Jiang Chen attacking it in time, he might have been hurt by this stone golem.
âBe careful, it seems like these stone golems exist in another dimension. We canât see them or touch them, but they can come out and attack us whenever they want. It looks like this man was killed by this stone golemâs sudden attack.â
Jiang Chen said.
âAlthough these stone golems are pretty strong, theyâre no match for me. However, since they are hiding in another dimension, itâll be really hard for us to prevent their sneak attacks.â
Han Yan furrowed his brows. His combat strength was quite strong, and his senses were quite sensitive. But, these stone golems moved in a ghostly manner, he just couldnât sense it when it appeared behind him.
âThere are more of them here.â
Jiang Chen squared down and picked up a small rock. After carefully examining it, he said, âThere arenât any Yuan energy ripples on this stone golem, they attack purely using their body strength. This is the reason why we are having difficulties sensing them. Furthermore, they have no vital signs, and they only know how to attack anything they come across, sneakily. Luckily, once we shatter them, they will be completely dead.â
Han Yan and Nangong Wentian both had solemn expressions. The danger lurking within the dark was the most frightening one. They didnât understand anything about these stone golems, and had no idea why these creatures existed here. With these mysterious stone golems, the path in front of them wouldnât be peaceful any longer!
