Sovereign Rises in City

As Zhao Jinbao walked at the back, they suddenly felt a bit of wetness on their faces as they were hit by a cold wind that blew non-stop from the bottom of the valley.    

    

He lifted his hand to wipe his face and looked at the back of his hand. The back of his hand was actually covered entirely in dark red blood. He raised his head and saw a huge bat hanging upside down on the cliff.    

    

Zhao Jinbao felt a headache coming, he never thought that there would actually be such a thing here. The clothes of the person being carried by the bat seemed to be the attire of Huasheng Sect, they were probably there to set up an ambush, and knew that they might be coming here, but he never thought that the situation would be so complicated here, and that they would actually fall down.    

    

Zhao Jinbao could only say that the environment here was not bad. This bat had also helped him out greatly, otherwise, he would not have known that there were actually Huasheng Sect lying in ambush here.    

    

After leaving this place for a distance, the mountain road would gradually open up, and there would be traces of manual excavation. Zhao Jinbao steadied his feet and spoke to the rest of the girls: "There's also an ambush from Huasheng Sect on this side, so everyone be careful. This is a special situation, if we start a fight here, it'll be unfavorable for me, so everyone must be extremely alert, and be careful."    

    

Perhaps it was due to the construction of the boardwalk that time, but there was a cave on the inside of the cliff here, although it was not big, but with their current cultivation, it was not a big problem to dig deeper into the cliff, so they immediately prepared to rest inside, sprinkling yellow liquid on top of the hole and lighting a bonfire. The five of them sat in the same room, feeling the heat from the roasting on their bodies.    

    

"The temperature is dropping as we get to the top of the mountain. You must be feeling cold. It's a pity that we didn't bring too many clothes with us this time. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to suffer the cold."    

    

Zhao Jinbao laid out the Black Tiger Skin on the ground for the four of them to sit on, while he squatted at the entrance and started a fire.    

    

It was not that cultivators were not afraid of the cold, but there was a prerequisite for them to be able to circulate their own Genuine Qi. Old Monarch Mountain was originally the place where many almighty beings battled previously, and it was very dangerous there, many ancient ruins and broken spaces became chaotic and overlapping. The formation was mixed, and the spirit energy was not abundant, thus the need to circulate the Genuine Qi in their bodies was very high.    

    

At the very least, it should have been more than twice the consumption of the plains, and if the plains still required pill's supplies, there was no need to mention the fact that it was here.    

    

Although their bodies were stronger than normal people, they were still not that much stronger.    

    

Nangong Jueying looked at Lu Ling'er who was hiding in the corner and shivering a little, and said: "We are still alright, but I feel that Ling'er is probably cold. Let's go out later to see if there are any beasts that can be skinned and cut clothes. Ling'er herself already has the ice phoenix on him, she is weak."    

    

Zhao Jinbao originally did have a fox skin coat, but because it was too heavy, he did not bring it in. Although it was already autumn outside, it was not particularly cold outside, but the Old Monarch Mountain was located at the plateau, and at night, snowflakes floated down here and there, like pear blossoms in three months. Although the scenery was pleasing to the eyes, it made them feel even colder.    

    

Zhao Jinbao tidied up a little here, and then set up a formation so that the three of them could rest. He himself, along with Nangong Jueying, left the cave to search for Demonic Beast s and gather their furs.    

    

Currently, the ones who were least affected by the cold were him and Nangong Jueying. The remaining three girls couldn't do it either, so they were affected a lot more.    

    

After leaving, Nangong Jueying felt a chill run down her spine, "Phew, it's so cold."    

    

As she spoke, she rubbed her hands together, looked at the pure white snow, and spoke to Zhao Jinbao who was beside her.    

    

"Put on my clothes first, and we'll see if there are any beasts nearby."    

    

Although they had a piece of tiger skin, it was still okay to use it as a covering. If they wanted to use it to tailor clothes, they would need to make ends meet. The main reason was that the area of the tiger skin was limited.    

    

Fortunately, Zhao Jinbao had brought a hand crossbow with him, in order to be able to hunt for it after he entered the place. He could not use a Genuine Qi anywhere, so when he met small sized wild beasts to supplement his food, it was obviously the crossbows that were more proficient.    

    

Just as they walked out of the area, they saw a fox. However, this fox was very large, around four feet tall, like a child. It was at least 10 feet long and could be considered a giant beast.    

    

Seeing this, Zhao Jinbao suddenly thought of the Cyan Hill Fox Clan that the Demon Immortal Mountain had sent out. The fox demons also looked like that, but they were not as terrifying as the fox demon, as their cultivation were deep and profound.    

    

Nangong Jueying came to Zhao Jinbao's side and said: "I'm afraid this is the legendary Spirit Demon Fox, although there are only five tails, it is still a Heavenly Immortal Stage, what should we do now, can we fight it?"    

    

Zhao Jinbao smacked his lips, then laughed: "It's hard to say whether we can fight or not, but I feel a little regretful that we should just fight like this, why don't we just fight!"    

    

"But I always felt that it was abnormal for this fox to swagger out like this. With its cultivation level, it should have discovered us long ago. Could it be waiting for something else?"    

    

Nangong Jueying's words stunned Zhao Jinbao, but truthfully, there was such a possibility.    

    

Zhao Jinbao took a deep breath and said to Nangong Jueying: "Since that's the case, then let's hide here for now and see what happens. Maybe we'll get something unexpected."    

    

While the two were talking, a roar came from the other side. A deep roar.    

    

However, from this roar, one could roughly tell that this was a vicious beast similar to a Barbarian Bear.    

    

Zhao Jinbao raised his head to look. As expected, a giant bear that stood up straight was standing there. This giant bear was two Zhang tall. It was as tall as half a tree, and its huge paws were continuously hitting his chest.
