Chapter 29: Fury

  "You're really ignorant, you don't know the length of a horse's face or the curve of an ox's horn. I've never seen anyone with such a thick skin as yours." Pang Bo brushed aside his palm, gave him a slanted glance, and picked up the three floating fragrant fruits.

  "How can you talk like that?" Li Changqing's face was somewhat unsightly, and he said with a stern expression: "We are classmates, coming to an unfamiliar world together, we should help each other. Now everyone is very hungry, finding something to eat should be shared among us all, do you want to eat alone?"

  "Spare me the hypocrisy! Who was sneaking chocolate in the copper coffin, and you didn't think of 'everybody' back then? Now you're putting on a self-righteous face, don't make me sick. Seeing you is more disgusting than seeing that reptile God Croc. Just stay over there, I'm not bothered to deal with you!"

  Li Changqing's face turned pale with anger, he couldn't possibly admit it, and after arguing a few sentences, he appeared weak and powerless.

  Although Pang Bo spoke bluntly and fiercely, it didn't mean that his thoughts were not meticulous enough. He naturally understood Li Changqing's intention, knowing that if he could get a share of the food, it would be better for him. If he couldn't get a share, then he would isolate Pang Bo and Ye Fan. After all, there were many people present, and if they didn't give those people a share, they would definitely have some opinions in their hearts.

  "I'm sorry, everyone. There's not enough to go around, I only picked five fruits in total. It's really not enough to share. Since Yiyu is so slender, I'll give her two, and I think everyone should be fine with that?" Pang Bo didn't even look at the crowd as he divided the fruit, saying: "I'll give Zhang Ziling one." He tossed it over, then added: "These five fruits were picked by me and Ye Fan, so we should keep some for ourselves to enjoy, don't you think?"

  Pangbo stuffed the fourth fruit directly into Yefan's mouth, while the fifth shiny fruit was bitten off by himself with a big chunk of pulp.

  The five fruits were divided like this, and Liu Yiyi felt a bit embarrassed, saying: "I... I can eat half of it, let's divide it among everyone." She wanted to return the ruby-like fruit, but Ye Fan pushed it back, saying: "Don't worry, there are lush plants here, we'll definitely find many wild fruits."

  Pang Bo also stared, urging her to hurry up and eat, not allowing her to decline. He knew that this fruit was extraordinary, eating it would make one's energy extremely abundant, sweeping away fatigue, and there must be other unknown benefits.

  "But..." Yiu Yiu looked a bit embarrassed and glanced around at the people nearby.

  "Yi, you're too kind-hearted, this won't do." Pang Bo said in a low voice: "Many of them have chocolate in their pockets, but no one has taken it out to share with everyone."

  Jian Ye Fan also nodded at her, and Liu Yi Yi finally stopped resisting.

  "I still have some chocolate here, let's share it." At this time, Liu Yunzhi suddenly came forward and handed out several packages of chocolate for everyone to use.

  "I'm telling the truth!" Pang Bo was furious at that moment, this is a naked slap in the face, hated to the point of itching teeth, but could only endure this invisible slap, even if he jumped out, there was nothing to say.

  "It's still Yun Zhiyao!" Li Changqing peeled open a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth, saying this while also taking a glance at Pang Bo and Ye Fan.

  "It's only when we go through thick and thin together that we can see the true nature of people..." The female classmate who had always been by Liu Yunzhi's side said with a hint of implication.

  This made Pang Bo's face even more embarrassed, and he muttered in a low voice: "He had it inside and outside the circle, why didn't he take it out earlier? Now that there are plants all over the mountain, we can definitely find some wild fruit. The chocolate is no longer of much use, and now he takes it out to show off, I say he's just pretending to be a good person."

  "The road is long and I know the horse's strength, after a long time seeing people's hearts. Later, when we arrived in the outside world, Yun Zhi said to me 'follow you'. Li Changqing intentionally made such an expression, then sighed and said 'alas!' while not forgetting to glance at Pang Bo and Ye Fan."

  He was pinched by Liu Yunzhi, and then ridiculed by a man and woman next to him. Angry, Pang Bo hated that he couldn't drag him over and beat him up, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could only endure it.

  Everyone looked into the distance at the shape of the mountains and terrain, determined a direction, thinking that walking along this direction would leave the mountainous area in the shortest time and reach a place with people.

  Without delaying too much time, the crowd went down along the mountain and then entered the mountain forest, advancing cautiously with each person holding a wooden stick in their hand to guard against beast attacks. After all, the divine artifact was almost useless now.

  But after walking for almost half a day, not to mention large ferocious beasts, I didn't even see a single groundhog, let alone flying birds.

  "It's really a forbidden land, not even birds dare to shit here..." Li Changqing muttered to himself.

  "You should be grateful. If you had encountered a large ferocious beast, you would have prayed to escape to a place without even a bird's feather."

  The mountainous area was lush with vegetation, and many people picked a lot of wild fruit, temporarily relieving the food problem. However, until the sky turned dark, they still hadn't left the mountains, and the endless mountains seemed to have no end, with another mountain beyond each one they climbed.

  "Are we going in the wrong direction, are we heading deeper into the mountains?" someone wondered, but ultimately everyone decided to continue on.

  The sky had already darkened, and everyone had no choice but to stop in the mountains and decide to continue on their journey the next day.

  It was a disturbing night, at midnight everyone heard a chilling howl that sent shivers down their spines, the sound was mournful and enormous, accompanied by the clanking of iron chains, making everyone feel chilled to the bone.

  In this gloomy and eerie forest, it's really frightening. It's as if a fierce ghost with shackles is struggling, the sound makes one's heart throb.

  "It seems to be... a voice coming from the depths of the ancient forbidden land." Many people trembled with fear, looking in the direction of the huge abyss surrounded by nine mountain peaks in the distance.

  Deep in the night, the trees cast eerie shadows, their ancient branches swaying in the wind like a multitude of ghostly silhouettes.

  The howling sound grew even louder, causing the entire mountain to tremble and shake. The nearby trees swayed back and forth, with many leaves rustling and falling to the ground.

  A chill ran down everyone's spine as a dark and eerie aura spread from the depths of that ancient, forbidden land. It was terrifying to think that even at such a great distance, they could still feel this dreadful presence.

  "Clang", "Clang"......

  A huge vibration sound echoed in the dark night, exceptionally desolate and seemingly something enormous was pounding metal, causing the mountains and forests to shake.

  Everyone's face changed color at the same time, and they involuntarily thought of one place.

  Nine huge dragon corpses and bronze ancient coffins fell into the abyss...

  "Could it be..."

  This dull and powerful impact was like someone banging on a bronze coffin, making people feel a chill that made all the hairs on their body stand up.

  "What is...that thing?!"

  Many people were shocked to the extreme, and also terrified to the extreme. The mysterious bronze coffin was incomprehensible, and even now, no one understands what it is. What kind of thing could shatter it? To think that this giant coffin had easily absorbed the divine power of the divine artifacts in everyone's hands.

  "Primordial Forbidden Land, does it mean a forbidden land that has existed since primordial times?"

  "Wild ancient... what a distant era that is. Has no one set foot here since then?"

  "Clang", "Clang"......

  A deafeningly loud sound, a mighty crashing noise, the reverberation of bronze coffins shook heaven and earth, the ground trembled, the surrounding trees swayed back and forth, leaves fell, fluttering about.

  The howling sound emitted anger, more and more mournful and terrible, it's hard to imagine what was in the abyss.

  "We should be grateful that it wasn't just the nine dragon corpses and bronze coffins that fell into the abyss, but also attracted its attention. If not, it would have probably burst out at night, and none of us would have survived..."

  It's highly likely to be a fact, after all, this place is called the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, not even birds and beasts dare to set foot here. One can imagine how terrifying it is, definitely a place of no return, where something frightening exists.

  "Something that existed since ancient times... it's really... hair-raising, I dare not imagine!"

  "It seems it can't do anything about that mysterious bronze giant coffin for now, fortunately."

  It was a sleepless night and many people couldn't fall asleep again.

  Boom

  Suddenly, a loud and fierce explosion, in the distant mountains, a sudden and violent earthquake occurred, spewing out endless black fog, completely covering the sky, all stars and moons disappeared, extremely oppressive.

  Rumbling sound

  Suddenly, all the dark fog was sucked into the abyss in an instant, and the stars in the sky flashed out instantly. However, everyone saw a picture that was extremely shocking.

  A blurry black shadow, indistinguishable as human or beast, wielded hundreds of feet long thick iron chains that howled towards the sky, exuding an aura of ferocity that intimidated all. Even from a distance, one could see it, and imagine just how massive those iron chains were. The deafening roar shook the eardrums, almost knocking people in the nearby mountains unconscious. The rolling sound waves made one's ears ache.

  That thing was bound by massive iron chains, with shackles, but it danced across the sky and earth, its iron locks hanging in mid-air! It exuded an aura of ferocity that seemed to be gathering strength, and after letting out a mournful howl, it suddenly plunged back into the depths.

  "Clang", "Clang"......

  The sound of the bronze coffin being smashed echoed again.

  "You said it's not thinking of opening that coffin within a coffin?"

  "It should be like this, after all, that big coffin has been opened wide, he doesn't need to smash it for no reason."

  Everyone's heart was both shocked and fearful, until the latter half of the night when it finally calmed down in the depths, no longer making any noise, and everyone fell asleep drowsily.

  The next day, the sun had risen high, and everyone woke up one after another. They washed their faces in a stream, picked some wild fruits to eat, and then continued on their journey.

  They walked for two or three hours, and the crowd didn't stop on the road. They were eager to leave this place, this ancient forbidden land was really making people uneasy, they had to get out of this area before nightfall.

  At noon, the scorching sun was hanging in the sky, fortunately there were trees to block the shade. When climbing a high mountain, someone heard the distant beast roar.

  "Hurry up, we should be able to get out of this restricted area before nightfall."

  "Huh, do you see those buildings on top of that distant high mountain?" Wang Ziwu suddenly pointed forward. It was a very tall mountain body, still quite far away from here, separated by several peaks, but those small mountains couldn't block it.

  "It's really a building, it seems to be continuous!"

  Everyone suddenly showed a look of surprise and delight, they would definitely be able to make it there before nightfall.

  "Hmm, it seems there are cranes flying around, could that be a fairyland? I wonder if there are immortals..." Some people's thoughts are quite scattered, instantly linking to the legendary immortals.

  The crowd quickened their pace, walking forward in groups of three or two, with many people already whispering to each other. After entering the area with signs of human activity, they wanted to split up and explore separately.

  At this time, Ye Fan noticed that Liu Yiyi looked a bit wronged and unhappy, and asked: "What's wrong with Yiyi?"

  Wang Yan took away my rosary and wouldn't give it back... Liu Yiyi felt a bit wronged and also a bit angry.

  "Is it her? It must be Liu Yunzhi's doing again!" Pang Bo was furious at that time, Wang Yan was the female classmate next to Liu Yunzhi, and she had always been targeting Ye Fan and Pang Bo.

  Ye Fan didn't say much after hearing this, and took big strides forward to block Liu Yunzhi, Wang Yan, and Li Changqing, stretching out his hand and saying: "Hand it over!"

  "What did you say?" Li Changqing asked fearlessly.

  "Cut the crap and bring me the rosary!" Ye Fan wasn't someone who didn't have a temper, he had just been restraining himself all along. Once he got angry, it was extremely terrifying.

  "Oh, you're referring to that thing." Wang Yan explained: "I was just playing with it at first, but later I really liked it, so I exchanged it with Yiyi for my copper bell."

  Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Liu Yiyi, at this time others also stopped in their tracks and turned around to look over.

  "I... I didn't exchange with her, she took the rosary and then forced the copper bell into my hand." Liu Yiyi looked very wronged, appearing somewhat uneasy under everyone's gaze, pitifully innocent.

  "Yi, you can't say it like that, it's obvious you were willing to exchange." Wang Yan said.

  "Bring it on! I don't want to waste any more words." At this moment, Ye Fan glanced at Liu Yunzhi, Wang Yan, and Li Changqing, saying: "I'm running out of patience now, we're about to escape, don't get in your own way!"
