The ape originally thought that it had already escaped from the attack range of the huge beast in the hundred meter high forest.

The thick branches beneath its feet were snapped by the black tornado, giving it no chance to make use of the latter's momentum. The latter's huge body fell down with a loud bang, being swept up by the black tornado, along with the branches of the trees that filled the sky, into the behemoth's mouth!

"Kacha, kacha!"

"Awoo!"

The huge mouth opened and closed, and the ear-piercing sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh and bones continuously resounded. Accompanied by the miserable wails of the Black Icicle Ape, blood continuously gushed out from between the teeth of the huge beast. In the end, the Black Icicle Ape stopped screaming and was swallowed into the stomach of the huge beast!

The gigantic beast even burped loudly, and the smell of blood instantly filled the forest.

"…"

At the same time, in the center of the beast's back, a figure that had been crouching and waiting for an opportunity to make its move, was now like a statue. It stood there stiffly, not daring to move an inch!

Xiang Yun had just personally witnessed the beast devouring the Black Ape.

From a distance of nearly a hundred meters, a bizarre black tornado sucked the enormous body of the Black Icicle Ape into its stomach. Such a terrifying technique had completely intimidated Xiang Yun!

Xiang Yun even suspected that even if he used the Small Teleportation Pill, once this fellow locked onto him, it would be impossible for him to escape. The latter's strength had already far surpa.s.sed his imagination.

For a time, Xiang Yun's heart thumped like thunder, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. After a moment of lingering fear, Xiang Yun rejoiced in his heart. Luckily, he had not acted on impulse earlier; otherwise, he might have been the one to die.

It was as if Xiang Yun's emotions had been greatly affected, his Turtle Resting Technique having been affected as a strand of Qi overflowed!

"Hu!"

The giant beast's originally calm aura suddenly boiled. It turned its head around and its back was covered by a thick layer of snow. The snow had already formed a layer of ice over the years, and if it didn't remove it intentionally, it wouldn't fall off.

The giant beast did not notice that Xiang Yun, who was obediently lying in a human-shaped snow pit in the center of the ice and snow on his back, had an aghast expression on his face.

"Phew!"

"What kind of monster is this!?"

Although Xiang Yun had read many books about Cloud Beasts in the Silvermoon Forest, he had never seen this Cloud Beast before. The latter's strength was so terrifying that he shouldn't be a nameless person.

After the giant beast devoured the Earth Devil Python and the Black Icicle Ape, it didn't immediately move, but stood motionlessly on the spot.

Xiang Yun's heart skipped a beat as he knew that this huge beast was probably digesting the remains of the Cloud Beast in its stomach.

Xiang Yun also had no other choice. Since he could not escape, he could only continue to circulate his Turtle Rest Technique and recuperate from his injuries. He believed that there would be a chance for him to escape sooner or later!

Of course, Xiang Yun couldn't bear to be so violent. With such a miraculous pill and his current serious injuries, even if he escaped from this giant beast, he might not be safe.

Therefore, Xiang Yun had decided to first heal his injuries and then think of a countermeasure!

When Xiang Yun woke up once more, it was already the morning of the second day. Today, Xiang Yun was slightly better. His injured internal organs had already recovered somewhat, and the pain he felt had lessened slightly.

Although the strange energy was still wreaking havoc within his body, it continued to fight with the energy within Xiang Yun's spirit root.

However, as long as Xiang Yun cultivated, the energy within his spiritual roots would unceasingly flow out.

However, as time pa.s.sed, the recovered energy gradually consumed a destructive energy. As it did so, the recovery speed also gradually increased. That strange energy was also constantly being consumed!

After inspecting the interior, Xiang Yun extended his head to look at the enormous beast beneath him. At this moment, this enormous fellow had actually embarked on another journey, continuously advancing towards a certain direction deep within the forest.

Xiang Yun could not help but feel somewhat curious.

However, just as he was about to retract his gaze and continue to recuperate, he suddenly saw something through the forest above his head!

In the distance, there was a huge mountain shaped like a turtle sh.e.l.l. The outline of the mountain was revealed for the first time, and most of the mountain was covered by clouds and mist.

Seeing this mountain, Xiang Yun's heart shook!

Xiang Yun suddenly thought back to the time when he had met Zhou Qing and He Tong in the East Flower Gate. Fatty Niu had pointed at a large mountain in the Silvermoon Forest and mocked them, saying that the mountain looked strange and ugly.

However, when Zhou Qing and He Tong heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

Could the two be the same mountain?

Xiang Yun immediately became nervous. When he had seen that huge mountain just now, he had already been very clear, and was probably not too far away from it. Didn't this mean that he was already deep within the Silvermoon Forest?

It was said in the book that Silvermoon Forest was a paradise for Cloud Beasts, and a h.e.l.l for humans. There were countless powerful Cloud Beasts in there!

Especially in the depths of the Silvermoon Forest, where the Cloud Beasts were even more fearsome and powerful. Legend has it that in the center of the Silvermoon Forest, there was a beast emperor with an unparalleled cultivation base, leading eight powerful beast kings and controlling the entirety of the Silvermoon Forest.

Xiang Yun had even read about the Silvermoon Forest in an ancient book.

It was rumored that once upon a time, a Heavenly Ranker from a foreign country pa.s.sed by the Silvermoon Forest. The latter relied on his unparalleled cultivation base to directly fly across the Silvermoon Forest!

No one knew how the battle had unfolded, but in the skies above the Silvermoon Forest, the clouds changed color and thunder rumbled. It was as if a huge hole had been pierced through the heavens!

After that, blood rained down from the sky and a cold wind howled!

This strange phenomenon continued for a whole day and night. Finally, the Heaven Ranked Spirit Master, who had a great reputation, was unable to leave the Silvermoon Forest. From then on, the name 'Forbidden Area' of the Silvermoon Forest appeared even more clearly, and no one dared to venture any further.

This immediately gave Xiang Yun a feeling that he had nothing to live for. His heart had long since scolded the eighteen generations of this gigantic beast's ancestors over and over again!

"You motherf * cker. What the h.e.l.l is that thing? Why did it want to kill me? You have to go home! Go back yourself, why are you carrying me on your back!" Xiang Yun felt the urge to cry.

Even though he was extremely unwilling, at this moment, he was even more afraid of leaving this enormous beast.

Not to mention whether he would be discovered by the beast, the fact that he was in the depths of Silvermoon Forest meant that he would be in danger. Any cloud beast that came his way would be something he couldn't afford to mess with.

Now, Xiang Yun could only lie obediently on the back of the gigantic beast, continuing to ride on his free mount while hastening to recover from his injuries. The faster his injuries healed, the greater his chances of survival in the depths of Silvermoon Forest would be!

Xiang Yun continued circulating the Turtle-Breath Technique all the way until late at night, when the system's notification rang out in his mind. Only then did he stop cultivating.

"On the seventh day of the fifth month, the system draws the lottery. Host can draw the lottery at any time!"

Hearing this voice, Xiang Yun immediately rubbed his hands together in excitement. It had finally come to this.

Two days ago, he had drawn the fifth day of the fifth month, the Dragon Boat Festival. Today, it was the monthly lottery.

Just as Xiang Yun was about to enter the System's Lottery, he suddenly discovered that the area around his face and abdomen that was not covered in ice and snow was actually somewhat hot. This place in the snow-covered Silvermoon Forest was truly a little strange!

Xiang Yun swept his gaze over the snow around him and was shocked to discover that the snow had actually started to melt, soaking his clothes. It was about to cover the top of his head!

He had just raised his head when he felt a wave of heat rush towards him. It was like he was in a desert under the scorching sun, unbearably hot!

Xiang Yun hurriedly turned his head to look in every direction. The moment he looked, he discovered something strange.

He saw that seven to eight miles away, right in the opposite direction of the gigantic beast's head, there was actually a huge mountain. At the middle of the mountain, there was actually a gigantic semicircular shaped cave!

Within the cave, a fiery red light was s.h.i.+ning as a scorching heat wave emanated from within the cave!

The entire mountain was bare except for pitch black rocks and not a single plant could be seen. Even from a distance, the heat was astonis.h.i.+ng, causing the snow on the back of the giant beast to quickly melt.

At the same time, Xiang Yun discovered that the giant beast beneath him had actually bent its body, retracting all of its aura as it crawled forward, carefully moving closer and closer to the cave. Its pair of brown eyes, illuminated by the red light, were quite eerie!

The beast's sudden action caused Xiang Yun to feel somewhat puzzled. What did this monster want? Could it be that it wanted to enter that cave?

However, the giant beast's following actions caused Xiang Yun to feel even more suspicious. The latter had actually stopped a few kilometers away from the cave.

The latter seemed to be watching him closely. The sounds coming from within the cave, the pair of brown indifferent eyes, seemed to reveal a sense of antic.i.p.ation, as if he was a human.

At this moment, Xiang Yun seemed to suddenly understand.

The reason why this gigantic beast had been traveling for so many days seemed to be for this cave. To be exact, it was here for something within the cave!

Looking at the rapidly melting snow around him, Xiang Yun felt a little worried. He was afraid that if all the snow melted and he was unable to hide himself, he would be discovered by this monster.

Immediately, Xiang Yun no longer dared to proceed with the system's lottery draw. He circulated the Turtle Aura Technique to conceal his own aura as he carefully observed the movements in the direction of the gigantic beast and the cave, waiting for an opportunity to make his move.

It continued on like this for the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Xiang Yun felt his eyes beginning to ache as he perspired profusely from the heat!

"Rumble!"

When the latter looked up, it was only then did he realize, to his horror, that a huge black cloud had unknowingly gathered in the previously bright and starry night sky. The black cloud covered the entire sky!

Within the dark clouds, the sound of rolling thunder could be seen. Through the surface of the dark clouds, one could vaguely see silver lightning flas.h.i.+ng and bursting out with a blinding radiance!

Looking up at the ma.s.sive black cloud, Xiang Yun actually felt a sense of inferiority and inferiority. He felt a stifling feeling in his chest, as if something had pressed down on him!

Seeing this strange scene, Xiang Yun suddenly recalled a scene that he had read in novels written about in his previous life!

"Soaring Tribulation!"
