Chapter 1419: Black Mist Sea

Looking from afar, this mountain range was full of tall, steep, and dangerous mountain peaks, one after another, densely packed, and I don't know how many there were.

Although he had not yet entered, a fierce aura was vaguely emitted from the mountain trend, which made Han Li feel a bit surprised.

But similarly, the spiritual energy in the mountain range was much thicker than outside. Just this point alone made Han Li overjoyed, and without considering anything else, he drove his escape light again and plunged into it in a flash.

In order not to attract attention, Han Li kept his escape light extremely low and slowed down his escape speed, sweeping past the mountainsides of the mountain peaks one by one.

He, who was within the escape light, released his spiritual sense to constantly shroud everything within several miles, while simultaneously looking around with his eyes.

Having only flown a thousand miles into the mountain range, Han Li could no longer hide his surprise.

In this mountain range, spiritual herbs and spiritual trees were scattered everywhere. Although most were in some exceptionally dangerous places and were mostly low-tier spiritual medicines, the sheer quantity still made Han Li overjoyed.

After all, he was just passing through in a hurry; if he searched carefully, he would definitely have a great harvest in this mountain range.

He thought that high-tier spiritual medicines should also be quite abundant.

Besides spiritual medicines, the number of beast herds in the mountains was also far beyond Han Li's expectations.

Han Li even accidentally witnessed a tragic battle between beast herds.

At that time, when he was flying past a relatively flat mountain col between two giant mountains, ape cries and roars similar to those of fierce beasts suddenly came from the two giant mountains.

Then, many white-haired giant apes two zhang tall suddenly emerged from one giant mountain, led by a giant ape with a golden body, holding wooden sticks, stone clubs, and the like, and rushed straight toward the other giant mountain opposite.

And from the other mountain, some fierce beasts with ox heads and lion bodies rushed out, led by a giant beast whose size was more than a fold larger than its peers.

The two met in a relatively flat mountain col and began to fight fiercely without politeness.

Those giant apes were agile and possessed giant strength, while the ox-headed fierce beasts had sharp teeth and claws and thick skin and flesh, so the two fought to a draw.

What caught Han Li's attention was that the leading giant ape and those fierce beasts seemed to have some intelligence and had become a climate, each having the level of a third or fourth-level demon beast, with one able to throw giant stones and the other able to spray yellow light.

The golden-haired giant ape relied on its agile body to gain a slight upper hand, but the leader of the ox-headed fierce beasts was not much worse.

So after the two beast herds fought for half an incense stick of time, feeling tired, they finally retreated back to their respective mountains after the two leaders let out long roars and low growls.

Only many corpses of the two beast herds were left in the mountain col, attracting another type of ugly-looking two-headed strange bird, which ate all these corpses completely.

Han Li hid in the high sky and watched this beast herd battle with great interest. Seeing that the giant apes were quite organized in their advance and retreat, as if they were fighting a war, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.

Besides this, in the process of continuously going deep into the mountain range, Han Li naturally discovered other strange beast types appearing in various parts of the mountain range. On several mountain peaks with the thickest spiritual energy, there were even several demon beasts that seemed to have reached the level of sixth or seventh-level demon beasts.

Han Li did not care about these existences that could not pose a threat, just driving his escape light and flying deep into the mountain range.

The size of this mountain range was far beyond Han Li's expectations.

Two months of flying, and he still hadn't flown out of this mountain range.

This made Han Li feel quite surprised.

Just when he was hesitating whether to return, a boundless black mist sea appeared ahead, covering countless mountain heads and giant peaks in the mist.

Several miles away from the mist sea, Han Li stopped his escape light, and with the help of his spirit eye divine ability, stared at the situation in the mist sea with a gloomy expression.

At the edge of the mist sea, he clearly saw that there was not a single blade of grass under the black mist, and even the stone and soil on the ground were somewhat black and exceptionally dry and cracked.

Under such strange circumstances, Han Li naturally would not rush into it, but grabbed a small tree as thick as a bowl from the ground beside him.

Immediately, this tree was uprooted, and Han Li grabbed the main trunk with one hand.

With golden light shining all over, Han Li's arm appeared with countless golden scales, and he waved it fiercely.

With a violent "sou" sound of breaking air, the small tree shot straight into the black mist several miles away like a crossbow arrow.

Han Li's eyes flashed with blue light, staring fixedly at the small tree without speaking.

A scene that made his heart jump suddenly appeared.

The moment the small tree shot into the black mist, it immediately turned from yellow to green, and in an instant, it withered and turned into dust.

Han Li's expression was somewhat ugly.

He looked left and right, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly drove his escape light and flew away to one side.

He actually intended to search along the edge of the mist sea to see if he could find any way out.

As a result, half a day later, Han Li appeared near a small mountain close to the mist sea, and stared at the mountain wall on one side of the mountain with a solemn expression.

This mountain was only several hundred zhang tall, but the side facing Han Li was flat, as if it had been smoothed by someone with great divine ability.

And on this smooth mountain wall, there were three blood-red characters several zhang large.

During his time in Abyss City, Han Li had studied the ancient characters of the human and demon races and the characters of several nearby foreign races. But these three strange characters were not among them, clearly belonging to the characters of other foreign races that the human and demon races had not yet come into contact with.

Although he did not understand what they meant, the strokes of these characters were like swords, surprisingly giving him an astonishing feeling of being filled with murderous aura.

He believed that if it were a cultivator with a lower cultivation base, they would immediately be forced to retreat and unable to look at this mountain wall for long upon seeing these characters.

Of course, with Han Li's current divine abilities, he naturally did not care about this bit of murderous aura, but upon careful examination, he found that these characters seemed to be from a very long time ago, and the nearby mountain stones had been weathered quite a bit, and even these three characters were somewhat blurry.

Han Li thought quietly in place for a while, then flew along the black mist sea again. As a result, after flying for several days, he finally flew out of the mountain range.

But before he could be overjoyed, after seeing the situation in front of him clearly, he was stunned again.

This place was another beach by the sea, and the distant crimson seawater kept washing the nearby reefs.

Han Li stroked his chin, standing in the air nearby, staring at this sea without speaking.

After a good while, he suddenly activated his escape light, transformed into a streak of light, and flew back along the way he came, shooting toward the other end of the black mist sea edge.

This time, Han Li opened his escape speed to the fullest, and ten or so days later, he appeared on another cliff by the sea.

Han Li finally confirmed that the place he was in seemed to be a giant island.

The size of this island was absolutely the largest he had ever seen in his life. And this island should be long and narrow in shape, half of it being the half he was in, and the other half being covered by that black mist sea.

Originally, Han Li wanted to bypass the black mist sea from the outside of the island to see what else was on the other end of the island.

As a result, he flew along the edge of the island for a full month, but still did not see the end, and the inside of the island was still the world of the black mist sea.

Han Li was horrified, turned his head, and simply returned the way he came.

It seemed that what he was in was a giant peninsula, not a real isolated island. Otherwise, the size of this island would be enough to be an independent small continent.

But whether this place was a peninsula or a real island, it made no difference to him.

Except for the black mist sea being somewhat strange, the rest of the island seemed to have no strong existences. And the spiritual energy in the mountain range on the island was also exceptionally thick, absolutely the best place for cultivation.

But Han Li thought of the existence of the same rank he discovered by the sea, and it was somewhat strange that such a large island had no such powerful demon beasts occupying it.

And that squid demon beast was an eighth-level transformed demon beast, but it turned and fled without a word upon seeing him, which made him feel somewhat suspicious.

Han Li pondered for a long time without any conclusion. But just in case, he prepared to spend more time first to see if there were any other islands nearby or any powerful existences that posed a threat to him.

So for the remaining month, Han Li took this half of the island as the center and searched the sea area within a radius of over a hundred thousand miles carefully.

As a result, except for a few barren islands with no value, there were no other discoveries.

There were also a few sea beasts that had become a climate in the nearby seabed, but the most powerful one was no different from the sea thief demon beast he had seen last time, and they had no intelligence at all, so there was no need to worry about anything.

In this way, Han Li felt completely at ease, returned to the giant island mountain range, and prepared to return to deep cultivation for a period of time.

After careful selection, he chose a giant mountain with the best spiritual energy, dug out most of the mountain belly, opened up a giant cave dwelling, laid down restrictions, and moved in.

This cave dwelling was relatively close to the edge of the mountain range, ten or so days away from the black mist sea. Even if the mist sea had any danger, it would not cause any sudden impact on him.

It was enough for him to react and make some preparations.

Han Li planted the spiritual medicines he brought in the cave dwelling's herb garden, and then immediately entered the secret room to start getting busy.

Immediately, the storage bracelet on his wrist flew out, spun in the air, and with a roll of green light, nine corpses of Green-Eyed True Toad Beasts, two large and seven small, appeared on the ground, occupying most of the secret room space.

All corpses were pasted with several talismans of various colors to prevent the beast bodies from decaying, which would greatly reduce the efficacy of the spiritual blood.

Han Li took a deep breath, pointed at the storage bracelet again, and a clean white jade bottle appeared in a flash.

He grabbed one of the young toads with his other hand in the void, and immediately this object floated up.

He flicked his finger lightly, green light flashed, and a sword qi pierced a small hole the size of a thumb on the young toad's corpse.

A moment later, thick liquid flowed out from inside, shining brightly, surprisingly a silver-white color.
