At this moment, Shen Luo and his partner had fallen nearly twenty or thirty feet, not even three feet from the waterfall across from them. Hearing a noise behind him, he planned to throw Ying Luo towards the waterfall, and retreat himself. This move was extremely dangerous, but far better than being skewered by the Mad Leopard, facing certain death.
Just at the critical moment, a shrill screech came from above the waterfall!
A green shadow plunged down from the opposite mountain peak, a giant Azure Eagle with a golden feather crown on its head, its wings a few feet wide, and a pair of sharp claws under it, like sickles.
A tremendous pressure emanated from it, no less than that of the Mad Leopard, and a whirlwind rolled down from under its wings.
The Mad Leopard at the moment the giant eagle appeared, the golden light rolling in its mouth shrank, and its plunging figure paused.
Shen Luo felt the pressure from the Mad Leopard above him reduced slightly, but was then suddenly whisked away by the wind.
He forcefully raised his hand again, a water rope shot out from the waterfall, coiling around his body, but it was immediately torn apart again.
But their whipped bodies had steadied down, skimming the waterfall and plummeting straight down, their figures soon engulfed in the splash of the waterfall.
“Mad Leopard, how dare you intrude on my territory! Crawl back to your lair!” The Azure Giant Eagle’s eyes shot a cold, fierce glare, locked onto the Mad Leopard.
“Azure Eagle, the cliff is just a limit, you have spoiled my fun and spoken disrespectfully, are you impatient to live?” The Mad Leopard glanced at Shen Luo and his partner who were falling, quickly withdrew its gaze, looked at the giant eagle across from it, golden flames erupting from its golden pupils, clearly aggravated by the opponent’s words.“What, you don’t accept what I said, then let’s fight again!” The Blue Eagle let out a sharp cry, its figure abruptly transforming into a blurring blue shadow, instantly appearing before the Mad Leopard, both blue claws brutally clawing down.
The Mad Leopard also roared towards the sky, gold light bursting out all over its body, confrontationally soaring upwards.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Golden and green light clashed violently, the air fiercely trembled, stirring up a gale, the entire mountain peak seeming to shake slightly.
At the bottom of the waterfall, sixty or seventy feet below, Shen Luo’s body hung in mid-air, seven or eight water ropes tied around him, the other end tied to the rocks on the mountain wall.
Currently, Ying Luo was lying on his back, her wet, disheveled hair falling around, slightly biting her lip and not caring for decorum, tightly wrapped her arms around Shen Luo’s shoulders.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, the deafening sound roared down from above, as if thunderous shocks in the sky, mixed with the roars of the Mad Leopard and the Giant Eagle. ℞αNȮʙƐs
Ying Luo slightly raised her head, looked up, a flash of fear in her eyes.
“It seems we were not meant to die today. Hold tight.” Shen Luo quickly averted his eyes, his hands repeatedly grabbing out.
The water ropes on him, like agile tendrils, were continuously coiling around the rocks below, carrying both of them and slowly lowering them down. From a distance, it looked like a spider rapidly crawling downwards.
This valley was extraordinarily deep, Shen Luo dared not make too much noise for fear of attracting the attention of the two monsters above, consequently, it took them nearly half an hour to reach the bottom.
The bottom of the valley was a large river seven or eight feet wide, rapid flowing, the ends not visible from either side.
Shen Luo’s mana had almost depleted, barely managing to use the Water-Stepping Art to run downstream for a while, found a place to land Ying Luo, then sank down with relief, sitting on the ground.
“I’m sorry for making you suffer, Big Brother Shen.” Ying Luo gently twisted her dripping wet hair, gratefully thanking Shen Luo.
Shen Luo made a hush motion to Ying Luo, then looked up at the sky.
The sounds of conflict above were no longer audible, either because the confrontation between the terrifying monsters had ceased, or because of the distance.
He averted his gaze, soaked his body in the river water, and began to operate the Nameless Cultivation Technique to recover his Mana.
Seeing this, Ying Luo carefully kept her guard and looked around, protecting Shen Luo.
Not daring to linger any longer, Shen Luo immediately stood up after slightly recovering his Mana, took Ying Luo, and applied the Water-Stepping Art to sprint forward. It took about a quarter of an hour to reach the mouth of the valley.
The view ahead suddenly widened, the river stretched ahead and flowed into a sizable pool. The surroundings were lush with green grass, creating a tranquil environment.
“It seems we are safe for now. The Mad Leopard seems very curious about my origins, and I don’t think it will let it go so easily.” Shen Luo glanced around and set Ying Luo down to speak.
“I can’t believe there are so many terrifying monsters on Mount Fangcun, and there seem to be quite a few of them. Fortunately, these powerful creatures have not descended the mountain, otherwise, one hundred Longevity Villages would have been destroyed.” Ying Luo looked back at the peak of the mountain and said with lingering fear.
“To find a way out of the mountain, there is no avoiding confrontation with these high-level monsters.” Shen Luo sighed and said.
Hearing this, Ying Luo’s expression showed a flash of gloom.
The valley wasn’t too far from Longevity Village, and the two soon came near the village.
“Huh!”
A look of surprise crossed Shen Luo’s face as he saw a group of ten or so young, able-bodied men each holding a cloth bag and basket coming out from the village and running towards the west.
“They are going to the lake in the west of the village to catch fish and pick the Black Rice Grass there.” Ying Luo explained.
“There are monsters appearing in this area, aren’t they in danger, going out like this?” Shen Luo asked, puzzled.
“I don’t know when it started, but every so often, monsters would appear around the village. We just defeated a batch yesterday, so it should be safe for the time being. Moreover, even if it’s dangerous, there must be people going out or else how will the villagers feed themselves.” Ying Luo’s face darkened, and she forced a smile.
“Do you want to go and escort them, just in case there is a mishap?” Shen Luo spoke again.
“No need, these are the elites of our village, capable of self-defence, and my duty is to protect the village. I cannot leave the village without a special reason.” Ying Luo shook her head.
Shen Luo’s expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly murmuring in his heart.
Although the Longevity Village is rundown and has few inhabitants, its rules are well-established and reasonable, perhaps that’s why it survived in the dangerous environment surrounded by monsters.
Not a talkative person himself, Shen Luo naturally wouldn’t comment on the rules of Longevity Village, and the two quickly arrived at the entrance of the village.
Qing Niu was standing guard at the entrance with a spear in his hand; seeing them return safely, he let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly ushered them into the village.
After asking about the situation of the day and confirming everything was normal, Ying Luo took Shen Luo into the village.
“I’m sorry, it seems I won’t be able to find a way out for a while.” Shen Luo apologized.
“Don’t say that, Big Brother Shen, it was my foolish wishful thinking that almost put you in danger. By the way, what do you plan to do next?” Ying Luo hurriedly waved her hand at Shen Luo and asked, changing the subject.
