Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 861

Chapter 861: 861

Su Mo was shocked . He had been retracing his steps back, but now he found that he was unable to return to the border of Mist Mountains .

After a moment’s thought, he shot into the air and charged toward the heavens . He wanted to see if he could fly out of the mist that shrouded the place .

To his dismay, he discovered after flying upwards for 15 minutes that he was still not out of the mist yet .

“This place is truly mysterious!” Su Mo stopped and his brows knit tightly together .

He used his Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul to carefully examine the surroundings again . He then discovered what made this place so mysterious .

He found that the Space within the mist would warp slightly with no set pattern .

“I see!” Su Mo now understood that this Space would constantly warp, which meant that there was no fixed direction here .

Walking in a straight line would not get him anyway .

This meant that he had not been retracing his steps earlier, but had veered off his tracks .

He guessed that although he had been flying in a straight line upwards, the Space probably warped as he was flying .

“I wonder where the Blood-striped Seed could be?” Su Mo sighed .

Since he had already found himself in this place, he would make the best out of it . He would now come up with a way to obtain the Blood-striped Seed, then think of how to get out of this place later .

It only took a few breaths for him to descend back on the ground .

He then walked aimlessly in the mist .

There did not seem to be any sign of life within the Mist Mountains, the ground he walked on was hard, stony and covered with sand .

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and his blood ran cold for he had sensed killing desire being trained on him .

“What is this?” Su Mo immediately used his Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul to sweep the place .

He immediately exerted the Ghostly Magic Sight to its extreme . Unfortunately, his field of vision was severely limited, so he did not discover anything .

He then used his spiritual consciousness to probe his surroundings . His spiritual consciousness was also affected by the mysterious mist and his probe could not reach for more than 300 meters .

Su Mo immediately went on his guard . He was not afraid of dangers that could be seen, but unknown dangers like these made chills go down his spine .

Su Mo held the Hornet Sword in his hand and remained where he was . His eyes narrowed and his whole body tensed up as he prepared himself to face the dangers ahead .

One breath!

Two breaths!

Three breaths!

Five breaths later, an elusive light suddenly flashed behind him and something appeared like an illusion, heading straight for his chest .

“Die!” Su Mo reacted extremely quickly .  He slashed out with his sword just before the elusive light hit him .

Slash!

As his sword radiance flashed, there was a spray of black blood and that elusive light was hacked into two . It then landed onto the ground .

Su Mo took a closer look and found that this elusive light was a greyish white small snake . It was only 23 centimeters long and about as thin as a finger . Its piercing fangs resembled as saw, savage and vicious .

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The ground where splattered with black blood started to quickly corrode and soon, a deep hole was formed .

“It had such high toxicity!” Su Mo’s eyes hardened when he saw how corrosive the poison from such a small snake could be .

After a while, he took a deep breath . This Mist Mountains was not just a place where he would lose his sense of direction, it also seemed fraught with danger .

He resolved to be even more cautious as he continued to make his way forward .

Roar!

Soon, something roared and a large animal pounced toward Su Mo .

Upon closer look, Su Mo saw that it was a huge cheetah that was about 9 meters tall and 33 meters long . It was also greyish white and blended perfectly into the thick mist .

It gave off a powerful aura of a Class 7 Lv 5 Demonic Beast, comparable to a Lv 7 True Darkness Realm martial artist .

Swoosh!

The cheetah moved like lightning and pierced through the void as it pounced for his head with its jaws wide open .

“Die!” Once again, Su Mo slashed out with his sword .

Instantly, the cheetah was sliced into two with a flash of sword radiance .

Demonic Beasts of this level were not his match at all .

As Su Mo continued to make his way forward, he was faced frequent attacks from the Demonic Beasts around him . Those beasts below Lv 6 were not a threat to him at all .

Even when he was occasionally attacked by a few Lv 6 beasts, Su Mo managed to kill them instantly .

After walking for an hour, Su Mo found himself at the peak of a small mountain .

The mist was so thick that he could not see the road ahead .

He immediately flew into the sky and rapidly weaved through the mist .

There was not a single patch of grass on the ground, which meant that he was just wasting his time here searching for the Blood-striped Seed .

The Blood-striped Seed was the seed of a rare blood-striped spiritual herb . Su Mo deduced that it would definitely be found where there was lush vegetation .

Swoosh!

Su Mo flew at a low altitude and weaved through the mist in search of a place that matched the description .

After flying for a while, he flew into a dense forest .

The forest was full of towering ancient trees and lush vegetation . Thick vines climbed like snakes up the trunks of the ancient trees .

Su Mo slowed down and started to search the area as he flew .

Swoosh!

The vines that wrapped themselves around the ancient trees suddenly moved to attack Su Mo .

Dozens of thick vines weaved themselves into a large net, trapping Su Mo within .

“Destroy!” Su Mo remained calm and did not slow down at all .

Sword radiance flashed from his sword as he slashed those vines into pieces .

As he moved forward, he continued to face attacks not just from the thick vines, but also flowers that could spit sharp needles . The large majority of the attacks he faced came from demonic beasts .

Fortunately, these demonic beasts were of rather low-level cultivation . The most powerful demonic beast he had encountered was a Class 4 Lv 6 beast .

After Su Mo searched through the forest for more than 20 hours, he still came up empty .

He found many spiritual herbs, but he could not be bothered to take them .

He started to grow irritated as he looked at the thick mist all around him . He felt like he was blinded and this feeling left him constantly uneasy .

He tamped down his frustration and continued to search the place . Another day passed and still, he had found nothing of significance .

Su Mo then stopped his search .

After thinking for a moment, he flew out of the forest and increased his speed of flying .

Since this forest did not have the blood-striped seed, he would search elsewhere .

After flying for three days, Su Mo’s face darkened as he found himself unable to fly out of this forest .

He was completely lost!
