Bei Feng quickly gobbled down a bowl of rice and ran out of the mansion like a fidgety rabbit. At the same time, he did not forget to transfer 100,000 yuan to Bai Xiang and told him to hire some people to repair the mansion.
The Nie Family's ancestral tablets had also fallen off the altar because of the shock, and were all lying about in a messy clutter. Bei Feng actually felt very indifferent towards it. After all, those ancestors were someone else's, not his! If they fell, he could just pick them up again.
Bei Feng walked down the dried mud path, his eyes surveying the surroundings constantly in high alert.
"Pa ta!"
A few relatively large stones rolled down the slope. At the top of the slope, near a steep cliff, sat a gigantic boulder which seemed to have been lodged there for an unknown number of years, enduring while the world lasts. [1] Throughout the years, the soil around the boulder had loosened and it was now at the point where it could no longer hold the boulder in place.
With a light shake, the over-two-meter-tall boulder started to roll down the slope!
"Rumble...!"
"Hmm? What's that noise?"
The jumpy Bei Feng was extremely sensitive to the slightest noise now. Even the slight rustle of the wind in the grass was enough to cause him to feel nervous. This sudden rumbling noise caused him to feel extremely uneasy!
Looking up, he saw a huge boulder which almost blocked out the sun as he looked at it, rolling down the slope towards him with incredible momentum! The slope was mainly composed of smooth rocks, with a few small stones littering it. The boulder simply crushed those small stones along its path, continuing on with great speed!
Its incredible weight along with the smooth slope caused its speed to increase at a frightening rate as it fell!
One glance was enough to tell that the kinetic force behind this giant boulder was at least over 10 tonnes! With Bei Feng's strength of around 10,000 jin, it was impossible for him to block it!
But Bei Feng was not so stupid as to think of blocking it head on. With a flash of his body, he jumped nimbly to the side!
"Pah!"
By pure bad luck, Bei Feng's foot hooked onto the groove of a slightly elevated stray tree root, which was as thick as an infant's arm, on the ground in his hurry to dodge.
His balance lost, Bei Feng face-planted on the ground with his mouth full of mud!
As he looked up again, one of the stones in the path of the boulder was knocked flying and rocketed directly towards Bei Feng's left eye!
"Bam!"
Even more coincidental was that as the boulder rumbled down its original path, it slammed into a slightly larger rock and, instead of stopping, changed its direction!
With a sharp turn, it now continued barreling right towards Bei Feng!
Bei Feng's reaction was extremely quick. Swinging his arm to the back, he moved to forcefully propel himself up from the ground. But with a 'kacha' sound, his arm actually dislocated because of the strange angle, making him unable to exert any strength!
Forcefully twisting his body around, he laid his face flat against the ground just as the sharp stone narrowly whizzed past where his eye had been!
But the greatest danger had not passed. The large boulder was only a few meters away from Bei Feng now!
"Ah! Is there no end to this?!"
Bei Feng was enraged. Gripping Extreme Arctic Frost in his good left hand, he swung it heavily outwards!
Right as the spear came into contact with the large boulder, Bei Feng felt a tremendous force travel up through the spear, causing him to nearly drop it.
But the large boulder had also been affected by Bei Feng's strength and ended up shifting slightly to the side. It rumbled past him with only a few meager inches between them, and continued rolling with great momentum until it finally stopped in a gully far away.
This time, Bei Feng finally understood the power of the Fox of Natural and Human Calamity. 'The boulder can change directions? Fine. The stones will ricochet towards me? Fine. But what the hell was that random root on the ground?!'
He had exerted all his strength to avoid the dangers, but that bloody root had still caused him to suffer a huge fall!
"Kacha!"
Bei Feng popped his arm back in place expressionlessly as he turned to stare venomously at the stray root.
This bit of root was around 10 centimeters long, but the strange thing was that he had somehow not noticed it when he was walking.
The root had a scaly surface, like that of a fish's. It looked old and hardy, and seemed to have grown for a long time.
Bei Feng had never seen a root like that before, and his curiosity was immediately piqued. A soft icy feeling emanated from it, like that of comfortable old leather. It felt extremely tough and as Bei Feng examined it, he had a feeling that this root was definitely not an ordinary thing. Applying some strength, he gave it a tug upwards!
