Chapter 352: Travels
Day 28
I followed the river for a while and battled with a Diamond Eyed Leatherback. I lured it onto the sand and tore a huge chunk out of its side, but then it retreated into the water and I nearly got caught by its friend waiting to the side. Or at least thats how it seemed, the other croc could have just been there to steal some of whatever the first one caught. I just know that as soon as I dove into the water I saw a half dozen of them swimming towards me. One of them was actually within arms reach, but it actually turned towards the injured croc and away from me. After I left the river, there was a disturbance in the water and the one Id injured was torn apart by the others.
I decided not to get back into the river.
After following the river for a few hours, I ran into some land predators. The very unusual 36 Clawed Wolf, packs of them preying upon herds of Twin Hoofed Bison. I couldnt help but wonder what sort of strange environmental factor there was here that made the beasts all have so many claws and hooves. I was thinking about it from an evolutionary standpoint, but then I remembered this world may not operate in that manner. Survival of the strongest, not the fittest, seemed to rule in this world. That said, it was also very possible there was some odd treasure or resource that rapidly mutated their feet more than their bodies. I felt the urge to go and look for the source, but then a few birds in formation flew over me and started circling.
I had to abandon following the river bank in order to avoid a few packs of 36 Clawed Wolves, but I tried to move in a similar direction. After the plains, I vaguely recalled that there should be a broken mountain range that led into a set of cliffs and canyons that bordered a small sea. The river wound through the canyon area branching into dozens of small ocean coves.
Day 33
They caught up to me in the canyon zone. The rocks were too hard for the Warp Worm to tunnel through quickly, and they used the birds to keep track of where I was going. Somehow the rivers got extremely shallow and muddy. They were filled with some sort of flatworm, very similar to the Bloodsucking Flatworm. Just like the ones I ran into long ago when I was trying to escape from being trapped in the Lang Clan mine, except these were far more powerful. It was like a mud river full of level 30 plus leeches, except these leeches required poisoning yourself or bathing in extreme cold and minor surgery to remove.
The algae carried a special sort of energy that would kill regular people who ate them, but could be harnessed by Chefs for cultivators to take advantage of. Amazingly, the fishing town couldnt even fish for its own food. Instead they were entirely supported by outside food sources and all that they harvested was sold to the nearby Sects.
Day 44
It took a few days to cross that Red Sea. I had him take me to one of the nearest ports because if I was out on the water too long I figured theyd know exactly where I was heading and cut me off. An Sanjiu bought me some more supplies and I left before he could get greedy and turn me in.
I didnt pass through the second port town to keep from being spotted. Instead I left the sea a few miles out, using Cosmic Traction to disembark to a very rough place. It seemed like a spot they could never be waiting for me at. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Only a few hours after leaving the ship I was attacked again. The Jade Horde waited for me to enter a valley and then blocked off both exits. Even so, it seemed I had moved too fast as neither Wu Chang nor Whitestaff were there. Instead they just harassed me from afar with nets and crossbow bolts for hours.
I didnt have enough insects to help me push through their lines this time and when they used Formation Armor to form a wall I didnt have any good methods to push through. When I tried to use the Warp Worm to dig a secret escape tunnel, three of Whitestaffs disciples tapped their staves to the ground and the Warp Worm was knocked dizzy. I had to call it back. It was even worse when I tried to use my Twin Soul to punch through.
While traveling I would send it out at night to hunt weaker Demonic Beasts and Spirit Animals. The more soul energy I could collect the stronger my Twin Soul could be, and I really needed more backup. It had already recovered to its peak before the betrayal, but I had underestimated Whitestaffs disciples. One of them, a woman with sharp eyes, lashed out with lightning speed before the Twin Soul had even neared her. Her staff flew out like a javelin and stabbed into the ground where I was hiding it.
Her staff crumbled to dust, but so did my Twin Soul. I used the Blue Icesilver to form armor and get through the backlash of its loss. Afterwards, I thickened the armor and had to use brute force to break through the blockade. With the Sovereign Stone and Icesilver armor I scaled the valley walls and weakened the rock enough to smash through.
