Chapter 622 Size Doesn't Matter
Our group continued flying forward, and while doing so, we met with many foes and enemies in our path. The weakest of the bunch were the dumb rats.
From what I could gather, we have finally entered the inner region of the Dark Garden.
No longer were there man-trapping trees, and no longer were there small trees and a few tall ones in between.
It was the complete opposite now. The trees at this point were gigantic, some could easily be seen reaching to the height of the very pillars and stalagmites that were carrying this entire world.
Giant trees kept the wind at bay, and under their darkened shade were more trees competing and growing to gain a glimpse of light from the massive crystal that was barely brightening this darkened world.
The whole area from here onward was eerily silent and for a reason.
The moment we entered the region we were already blasting several of the rats away, with guns and bullets and explosives all over.
This caused many deaths in the incessantly aggressive rats. However, the death of many of their companions was not a deterrent to their hunt for us. And the moment we reached past the first line and barrier of massive trees, was when the rats began slowing down.
The look of madness and the occasional snickering and laughter was no more, it was exchanged by a complete silence as they made sure that even as they chased after us to not make any noise.
Seeing that, I immediately ordered everyone to stop shooting.
"What's going on?" asked Old Fu.
"Everyone, don't talk don't even breath loud," I said as I slowed the hoverboard and had it land on the ground, thankfully the board was moving via saint Qi and had no gears or material that caused it to make any sound or noise in flight.
"Why are we stopping-"
I didn't allow him to finish as I slammed my hand on his mouth, making it clear that no one should even speak.
The rats kept approaching, and you could hear the sound of the soldier's heartbeat increase.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Old Fu tightened his hand on the sword on his belt, clearly waiting for a last-second struggle.
I sat down and began writing several inscriptions that I threw around the cube and only then did I say.
"Now you can speak, still make sure not to scream... the vibrations might attract unwanted attention," I said.
Yet no one talked, they were too terrified to even speak. A creature like that was something they could take on in their normal cultivation. After all, an emperor-level cultivator can easily level an entire planet by themselves. However, in this land, there was no such thing as a cultivation level. And if these beasts were to exist and leave for the overworld, they would gain equivalent power to their current ability.
They won't be affected by the Sea of Demons' sealing power, and they too will gain access to the worldly Qi. Giving them an equivalent power to what they have here...
"It is mighty strange, that the world had lived without realizing how much danger exists in these lands. How did these creatures live here, and why did they never leave this region is beyond me..." Old Fu stated.
"I guess there is something, or someone stopping them from leaving. Since I honestly don't see how they're stuck here, or why they would rather remain here instead of leaving..." the Captain said.
"What I find strange, is the fact that they're not sentient," I said.
"It's not easy to gain sentience as a beast in the first place," Old Fu said, "But you're right, for creatures this strong, and this mighty, not having sentience is strange, they are equal in strength to some of the Emperor Cultivators, but they cannot form their thought. The rats for example were able and capable of deception and mimicry, but it's a far cry from full sentience," Old Fu said.
"I guess it's the lack of Qi. The heavenly Qi grants the owner access to heavenly ascension, to surpass one's limit and evolve their understanding of the world. Beasts that cultivate can reach a high enough level of understanding that they gain a 'mind' of their own. As for these creatures void and devoid of the blessing of Qi, they'll never be able to form sentience," I said.
"Thank god for that though," said one of the soldiers, "If those things had sentience, they'll probably end up wiping all life as we know it once they leave this place... they're too strong and too big for even the walls of our city to stop them..." he said.
"Even an elephant can die to an ant in the proper conditions," I replied to the man.
They didn't fully understand the meaning of my words, but after I pointed, they traced my finger and noticed that another one of those massive mantis spider-like creatures was right next to us.
The eyes of the soldiers opened up for a second before they frowned and realized that this one was rather... unmoving.
"It's already dead..." I said, "Look at its head," I said.
Their eyes then went up to see the creature's head only to notice a massive thorn emerging from it, with an already emptied-out spore sphere.
"The weakest of the Dark Forest, a fungus smaller than a mustard seed, is capable of taking down this palace-sized creature. It isn't the might of the strong and mighty we should be careful of, it's that of the small and unnoticeable..."
