Chapter 41: At The Edge Of The Cliff

Listening to the gradually distancing voice, one of the men slowly regained focus and spoke with a shocked expression, “Did I just see a little monk riding on the back of that seventh-stage monster? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?”

“You saw it right. I saw it too. There was indeed a little monk, and he even called us Benefactors.” Another man said dazedly. He then thought for a while before asking, “What did the little monk ask us to do again?”

The leader of the mercenary coughed and awkwardly said, “It sounded like he was asking us to help.” But they were all dumbfounded by the scene and hence failed to react in time.

“This brother is amazing and even daring enough! I have also never ridden a monster, yet that little monk did it!”

A man at the side exclaimed, he then touched his chin as if thinking something before continuing. “But I think it won’t be easy for him to survive. It looks like the little monk destroyed the monster’s sight, causing it to barge deeper into the forest.”

“Okay, let’s go! We shouldn’t stay here for too long.” The leader ordered, and the mercenary group swiftly left the area.

The monster’s roar and loud disturbances it created when hastily running deeper into the forest, could be heard from afar. Inside the forest, when Mo Ye heard those noises, he didn’t pay much attention to it and only lightly glanced in the direction of the noise.

In this perilous forest, someone who would make such a commotion is most likely to be killed. Mo Ye wondered who this unlucky fella was.

As Mo Ye moved further deep into the forest, he realized that there were many other cultivators here as well, and they all seemed to be searching for something. It looked like people from various forces all knew about the strange phenomenon that happened a while ago, bringing them all to search in the forest.

The strange phenomenon happened in the forest, but nobody could tell what it was? Whether it was the emergence of a natural treasure? Or could it be that a divine creature was born? The only thing certain was that the event or item was so extraordinary that it created such a strange phenomenon.

However, this also meant that there would be a bloody battle to fight for this treasure.

At this moment, the unlucky person, Tang Ning, was lying on her stomach on the monster’s back. Her limbs were tightly hugging the monster, to prevent herself from being thrown off the monster’s body and stamped to death.

The monster had already run a great distance, and even though Tang Ning was injured by many tree branches along the way, she still persevered and held through. That’s because she knew that if she let go, then getting flung out at such great force would inevitably cause serious injuries or even lead to her death.

However, in the next moment, when she saw the monster running towards the edge of a cliff, her complexion suddenly changed, and she immediately started shouting, “Stop! Stop!”

But how could the monster understand her words? Although it was blind and it had been running for a while, the monster was still energetic and was continuously trying to shake off and kill the human on its back. Hence when the monster heard the human scream, it thought that she finally felt scared and thus ran even faster.

Tang Ning looked at the cliff edge ahead and realized that the monster had no intention to stop. Looking at the monster roaring and dashing forward, and just when the monster was about to jump down the cliff, Tang Ning immediately let go of her hand that hugged the monster. She no longer cared if she would die from the fall and lifted her body to suddenly jump towards a thick tree branch on the side.

“Roar!”

The moment its body could no longer feel the ground under its feet, the monster finally knew it had jumped off the cliff, and its body was being pulled down by gravity. It couldn’t help but let out a howl fearfully and unwillingly.

At the moment when the monster ran off the cliff, Tang Ning jumped and hugged a branch of a big tree. However, due to the massive force of that collision, the thick tree branch couldn’t bear the impact. This caused the tree branch to break, and Tang Ning fell towards the cliff due to inertia…
