Chapter 158: Monster?

The Heishui Mountain Range is in Chuanqing Sheng, in the northeast direction of Daxia.

This mountain range can be considered a place of rugged mountains and treacherous waters, and precisely because of this, large beasts often haunt these mountains.

The location of the Heishui Mountain Range can be considered remote.

Moreover, the terrain is complex, and there are often hikers who like to enter the Heishui Mountain Range.

Some time ago, a five-person team entered the Heishui Mountain Range and ended up getting lost; after someone called the police, it took search and rescue personnel three days to find the five people.

As a result, only one person survived.

Because of this, the Heishui Mountain Range has a not-insignificant level of fame.

At this moment, more than a dozen people are gathered in front of the Heishui Mountain Range.

The leader is none other than the old woman of the Feng Clan, Ling Jin's grandmother.

At this time, she looks at the towering Heishui Mountain Range, her body trembling, a look of piety on her face.

"Mom, the environment inside Heishui Mountain is harsh; why don't we just forget it?" Beside her, a middle-aged woman with neat short hair looks exceptionally poised.

The middle-aged woman is Ling Jin's mother, who can be considered a member of the Military.

The old woman's gaze remains full of awe: "How could I neglect the instructions of our ancestors?"

Beside her, the middle-aged woman sighs.

Her mother-in-law is just like this; once she decides on something, she is always very stubborn.

Seeing that she cannot persuade her, she has no choice but to step back.

Nearby, Xia Junji looks at the Heishui Mountain Range, revealing a look of interest: "Li Xiang, your husband's family seems quite mysterious."

Xia Junji has also just arrived at the Heishui Mountain Range.

Ever since the incident at the Dahuang Mountain Range fermented, it attracted the attention of those above.

Consequently, those above formed a special department to collect and organize data on special events.

Xia Junji is the person in charge of this department; he knows Li Xiang, and having heard about Li Xiang's affairs, he was quite interested, so he came to the Heishui Mountain Range with Li Xiang.

"Brother Xia, I heard you were recently transferred to another department; what kind of department is it, being so mysterious?" Li Xiang thinks of something and cannot help but ask.

"Nothing." Xia Junji smiles, not revealing anything.

Seeing this, Li Xiang does not ask again.

After all, within the system, many things are relatively sensitive.

"This Heishui Mountain Range looks ordinary, and I don't know what my mother-in-law is thinking, insisting on saying that the blessing of the Spirit has descended and coming all this way to the Heishui Mountain Range to take a look." Li Xiang lets out a sigh.

She happened to be in Chuanqing, and since her mother-in-law came to the Heishui Mountain Range, she naturally had to come.

"Let's take a look; what if we also discover something interesting, right?" Xia Junji's mindset is very calm.

Li Xiang shakes her head: "Sigh, what era is this..."

Beside them, Ling Jin walks over: "Mom, if you say the blessing of the Spirit truly exists, I believe it, but serving the Spirit—that I do not acknowledge."

Li Xiang's eyes widen: "Son, you haven't been fooled into a limp by your grandmother, have you, actually believing in the existence of the Spirit?"

Ling Jin smiles, not speaking.

He naturally believes.

His daily dreams, as well as the existence of Lao Hei, are all telling him that in other worlds, the Supernatural exists.

Of course, according to Lao Hei's words, the world they are currently in has too low an energy level; without the soil for Spiritual Qi to exist, it is difficult for the Supernatural to appear.

The group of more than a dozen people all stay in a village town outside the Heishui Mountain Range.

The sky is still early, and the group plans to go to the Heishui Mountain Range to take a look.

Beside them, Chen Longxuan travels light: "If we don't see the Supernatural, we'll just treat it as a trip."

Pangzi has sweat beading on his head: "It's f*cking tiring; next time, I'm not coming no matter what."

Beside him, Ling Jin laughs: "With your state, even if an opportunity for the Supernatural were placed in front of you, you wouldn't be able to grasp it."

Pangzi shakes his head: "Everything depends on fate."

Chen Longxuan looks around, appearing to be in a good mood.

Just at this moment, Ling Jin's figure suddenly stiffens.

Lao Hei's voice transmission suddenly enters his mind.

"Be careful, there is danger ahead."

Lao Hei is an Immortal Cultivator from another world, who has been following by Ling Jin's side.

Because of the lack of Spirit, Lao Hei is very sparing with his Spirit Power and almost never uses spells.

"Mm." Since Lao Hei says there is danger, Ling Jin also takes it seriously.

"I suddenly feel a bit dizzy; let's go back and enter the mountain tomorrow instead," Ling Jin says.

Beside him, Pangzi finally catches an opportunity: "You kid, your body is too weak."

Just at this moment, Chen Longxuan, who is to the side, suddenly yells: "Holy sh*t, what is that!"

He points his finger forward, his eyes wide.

Ling Jin and the others immediately look over.

They see a pair of pitch-black eyes staring at them.

"Snake!" Ling Jin yells, his voice trembling.

If it were an ordinary snake, he naturally would not be this afraid.

That snake is too big and too long; just its front half standing up is as tall as several of them.

By visual estimation, this snake is at least ten meters long.

At this moment, it looks at them eerily, appearing exceptionally strange.

"Run!"

Ling Jin and the other two took to their heels and ran.

Such a massive snake, and it didn't even look like a python; who wouldn't be terrified upon seeing it?

The three of them fled frantically, and even Pangzi ran faster than a rabbit.

Behind them, the giant snake cast a lingering glance at the place where Ling Jin and the others had fled, even revealing a human-like expression, as if it were wary of something.

It took one look, flicked its tail, entered the jungle, and disappeared from sight.

Five minutes later, Ling Jin, Chen Longxuan, and the others were panting, their hands braced against their knees as they gasped for air.

"That snake back there must have become a spirit, right?"

Only when Lao Hei informed Ling Jin that the giant snake had not followed did Ling Jin heave a sigh of relief.

"I think so too, that snake was just too big!" Chen Longxuan was also filled with lingering fear; it was his first time seeing such a large snake in reality, and it had been only three or four meters away from him.

That inadvertent eye contact was truly terrifying.

At this moment, a voice came from nearby; the people who arrived were Ling Jin's mother, Li Xiang, and Xia Junji.

"Little Gold, what's wrong? Did you encounter a wild beast?" There was a trace of worry in Li Xiang's eyes.

Ling Jin took a deep breath: "We encountered a giant snake, estimated to be ten meters long.

An Ordinary snake could never be that long!

This Heishui Mountain Range is definitely problematic."

Beside him, Li Xiang patted Ling Jin on the shoulder: "Was it a python? It seems this Heishui Mountain is indeed dangerous enough."

"It wasn't a python, just an Ordinary snake, and I felt like it had become a spirit; the way it looked at us was nothing like an ordinary wild beast," Ling Jin continued.

"Right, it was too scary," Chen Longxuan added, also terrified to the core.

"You must have seen it wrong," Li Xiang continued, "How could a snake become a spirit? It's probably just a special breed of giant snake."

Li Xiang only believed three parts of what Ling Jin and the others said.

Beside them, Xia Junji was very interested: "Did you take any photos?"

"We were too busy running for our lives, how could we dare to take photos!" Ling Jin said.

"What a pity," Xia Junji said, clearly very interested.

This was just a small interlude.

At night, Ling Jin returned to his room.

He still felt a sense of trepidation.

"Lao Hei, what exactly was that snake? It couldn't have really become a spirit, right?" Ling Jin asked.

Lao Hei's figure appeared in Ling Jin's field of vision, and he shook his head: "Become a spirit? A monster? Impossible.

Our world has no monsters, and it is even more impossible for monsters to appear in a low-energy world like yours."

"Then what exactly was that giant snake? Could it really just be a giant snake?"
