Chapter 189 Misty Hills
" Oh my, Look what you did, Little Brother Long." Meng Zhi suddenly hugged Long Ming. " I told you, if we wish to do such things, we should have gone to a more private place."
Long Ming\'s expression turned dark when he realized Meng Zhi was trying to add fuel in the fire. Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin\'s expression froze when they saw that.
" Elder Meng, Aren\'t you acting a bit out of your elder position?" Ming Yuexin drew a sharp breath as she glanced at Meng Zhi.
" So what?" Meng Zhi pursed her lips. " I am also a human. I can do whatever I wish."
" Yo-You! Shameless!" Ming Yuexin cursed Meng Zhi under her breath. Mu Qinglian was so speechless as she shook her head. She knew that she wouldn\'t be able to penetrate the thick skin of Meng Zhi.
" Alright, Alright!" Long Ming pushed back Meng Zhi gently as he waved his hands. " It\'s already late, Shouldn\'t we go and take some rest?"
" Why? I am not tired at all." Ming Yuexin curled her lips. " How about Brother Long accompany me to walk around the night market?"
" It\'s already night. Where do you wish to bring him at this time? Brothrel?" Mu Qinglian snorted.
" Well, You guys might not be tired. But I am." Long Ming rolled his eyes. " I am going to sleep. If you guys have so much energy, then practice cultivation. After all, the Battle Tournament is near."
Saying that Long Ming hurriedly walked to his room. The three girls looked at each other as sparks appeared in the air.
The next day, they had breakfast in Seven Leaf Restaurant. After having breakfast, they resumed their journey. Their next stop was the Misty Hills which falls right between the Holy Qilin City and Redstone City.
As they arrived, Long Ming could see a chain of hills covered with misty clouds from the distance. On the foot of the hill, there was a small town called Misty Hill Town.
However, although a small town, Long Ming felt that this small town had more experts than Red Stone City.
Looking at the hills, Long Ming\'s Heavenly Revelation Eyes shone as he felt like the mists becoming denser and denser.
Suddenly, he felt a strange oppressive aura, as if the misty cloud rolling in. He felt like his body was weighed down. Not only one, but a mix of verious chaotic aura soared to the sky and covered teh entire chains of hills along with Misty Hills Town.
\' The aura of hundreds of supreme experts. The enlightenment and comprehension of all those beings turned this place into an auspicious ground.\' Long Ming pondered inwardly.
" Everyone, come here, We will thoroughly guide you through the Misty Hills."
" In the dense mist, It\'s easier for even Harmonization Realm Cultivators to get lost. Not to mention, there are also many demonic beasts lurking here."
" However, we can lead you to the peak of the Misty Hills safe and sound."
" What are they doing?" Ming Yuexin glanced at them as she became curious.
" You can consider them as tour guides. The Misty Hills, as its name suggests, all the hills are covered with a strange mist." Meng Zhi smiled." The mist can even cloud someone\'s divine sense, making them unable to distinguish the directions."
" Not to mention, getting lost there, you can easily become the food of demonic beasts. Therefore, these tour guides are pretty popular here."
" I don\'t think I will get lost here." Long Ming pursed his lips as he looked at the hills.
" Of course, Not everyone gets lost inside it." Meng Zhi rolled his eyes. " As long as you have powerful spiritual qi and comprehension, you can easily traverse the Misty Hill."
" I see, Isn\'t this place like a test?" Mu Qinglian suddenly spoke.
" You can say that. Some people says that the summit is where Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea spent some time while contemplating about his techniques." Meng Zhi chuckled.
" Therefore, That place became the place where various people go to pay homage or gain comprehension."
Long Ming nodded as he looked at the town.
The Heavenly Emperor is simply like a miraculous existence. With just a touch, even a stone would turn into spirit gold and even a dying mortal could live for thousands of years.
Anything related to the Heavenly Emperor can make the crowd go crazy.
As they got a rough map of the Misty Hills, Long Ming realized that there was a straight pathway to the summit of the Misy Hill. However, that peak wasn\'t the place where Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea was cultivated.
Besides, Although the main road is straight and infested with less danger, it doesn\'t connect the key places, where the tour guides can take people.
" Alright, Why don\'t we have a little adventure?" Long Ming grinned as he picked a road. All three girls looked at each other as they nodded with a smile.
" Hmm, Then let\'s go." Long Ming chuckled as they picked a mountain path and began their journey.
Due to a strange suppression, the flying treasures get affected heavily inside the Misty Hills. So, everyone simply travels by foot.
As they entered the deep forest, Long Ming saw many people looking around here and there, as if they were looking at something.
" Elder Meng, Do you know what are they doing?" Mu Qinglian became curious.
" The Misty Hills are filled with various natural treasures. One among them is Misty Water Ore."
" The Misty Water Ore contains a dense amount of water qi inside them. Not only it\'s good for forging water attribute weapons, a cultivator can use it and gain insight in the Grand Dao of Water."
" The ore is scattered here and there, and even a small piece can fetch a good price. The bigger and deeper the color of the ore, the more expensive it will be."
" Aha, Are they trying to mine those ores?" Ming Yuexin gave a nod of understanding.
" Well, Unless being proficient in land geography, trying to find the ores like that purely depends on luck." Long Ming shook his head as he moved forward.
As they went deeper in the forest, the mist around them became thicker and thicker.
However, with Long Ming\'s Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he could easily see through the dense mist.
Suddenly, Ming Yuexin\'s expression changed as a flaming sword condensed in her hands. Without a second\'s delay, she threw it nto the mist.
*BOOOM*
Everyone became alert as they looked around.
" What happened?"
" Enemy attack?"
Ming Yuexin looked around as she frowned. " I thought I felt a shadow approaching toward us."
" A shadow?"
Long Ming\'s Heavenly Revelation Eyes scanned their surroundings as he frowned. " But, I can\'t see anything here."
" Strange, But I felt it though." Ming Yuexin muttered.
But then, It was Meng Zhi\'s turn.
" Huh? Did you say anything?"
" What?"
Meng Zhi frowned as she looked around. " I suddenly felt someone is watching us. But, There is nobody."
" Ah, Could it be…Illusions?"
Long Ming glanced at the mist as he suddenly spoke. Meng Zhi\'s eyes shone as she nodded.
" It seems like that. I heard that people sometimes go crazy inside the mist. Perhaps, they might be experiencing illusions here?"
" Everyone, Calm your heart, and don\'t let your thoughts run wild." Long Ming had some understanding of illusions as he comprehended the ancient word Illusion before.
" Do not let your divine sense spread far. The dense mist around here probably going to affect your senses."
But then, they suddenly heard a growling sound, like a beast charging towards them.
" This…A demonic beast is charging towards us." Long Ming\'s eyes flicked as he gazed at it. Everyone got ready as they saw the mist parting a giant bear like demonic beast came rushing towards them.
" That… That\'s Cloud Treading Bear!" Meng Zhi was surprised. " Little Brother, We must hunt it."
" Huh? Why?"
" Because the demonic core of Cloud Treading Bear is very precious. It can nourish the soul of Harmonization Realm cultivators. Not to mention, there might be a chance that it had an innate water intent bone."
The water intent bone is something where the water intent power of Cloud Treading Beast resides, similar to the dao bone LOng Ming got earlier. If refined well, it can help a cultivator tremendously.
" It\'s a mid stage Harmonization Realm demonic beast. Everyone, get ready." Long Ming spoke as he casually walked back.
" Huh? What are you doing?"
Mu Qinglian glanced at Long Ming.
" What? I am the weakest person here. Shouldn\'t I stay behind?" Long Ming grinned. " Elder Meng, Senior Sister Mu, hurry up and kill that beast."
Long Ming leaned back on the tree as he saw Mu Qinglian and Meng Zhi getting ready to face the beast.
After a while, they managed to kill the beast, making Long Ming applaud.
" Well, Although you could have killed it a bit faster, but good job nonetheless."
" Brother Long, can you not be lazy for once?" Ming Yuexin rolled her eyes.
However…
" Who killed my targeted beast?"
