Chapter Thirty-Four: Strange Land

  "This time I'm really unlucky, but where is this place?"

  When Ye Han woke up again, it was already the next day's afternoon. He only felt that his whole body's muscles and bones were sore. He couldn't move at all, and the fighting spirit inside him seemed to be sealed away, unable to be stirred up.

  The only thing that can be felt is that in the lower abdomen, a small, round, black tripod with two ears is floating quietly. However, no matter what method Ye Han uses, it doesn't respond to his control at all and cannot be stirred up.

  At this moment, he was lying in a thicket deep in the dense forest. Like a dead man, except for his eyeballs that could move, his whole body couldn't move at all. This was a very dangerous thing in the dense forest, not to mention the various powerful magical beasts and hunters, even if the various scavengers noticed him, it would be enough to make him suffer.

  Fortunately, in his brain domain space, there was no major problem except for some excessive consumption, and he could still use it normally. Activating the somewhat dim golden soul mask, spreading out spiritual thoughts, radiating to a range of about 500-600 meters around him, feeling the surrounding scene, Ye Han became more certain that he was still in a dense forest in the Lingshan Mountains.

  But it's hard to say exactly where.

  After all, at that time in the mysterious underground abyss, he was seriously injured and fainted. When he came to, he felt his whole body wrapped in a white light, then everything went black. When he woke up again, he was transported to this area. As for what happened in between, he himself didn't know!

  Ye Han was also relieved that if he had been transported directly to a place like the volcano at that time, he would have died in an even more miserable way.

  However, at this moment he couldn't move a single bit, the only thing to consider was to recover his mobility as soon as possible. Therefore, he could only urge his spiritual power to open the spatial pouch in his bosom, take out one of the remaining life crystals, and use his mind to control it into his mouth, holding it in his mouth, closing his eyes, and slowly recovering his physical strength and repairing the injuries inside his body.

  By dusk, Ye Han felt that the situation had slightly improved, but his body was still unable to move. Just then, the roof leaked and a continuous rainstorm arrived, bringing with it the troubles he had been worried about all along.

  "Hehehehe..."

  At dusk, the dense forest was shrouded in darkness. He was in a low thicket of shrubs, which was relatively open around him, and occasionally some gentle omnivorous small animals would run out. And at this moment, it was also the time when various ferocious predators came out to hunt.

  Just then, a shrill "Ki Ki" cry was heard, the sky was covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, and the sound of flapping wings began to resound.

  With a loud whoosh, the dark clouds suddenly dispersed and fell down in profusion. Only then did I realize that they weren't clouds at all, but hundreds of bald, ferocious vultures. All of them were over half a meter long, with greyish-brown feathers as hard as steel, bald heads, large beaks, sharp eyes, sturdy wings and thigh muscles, and four iron-like claws exposed. They didn't look like energy-saving lamps at all.

  These are Corpse Talons, a Tier 2 beast and one of the most notorious creatures in the Luminous Peaks. They normally eat animal carcasses and whatnot, but they also capture all sorts of small animals and dying creatures. Their sharp claws can tear open the flesh of large prey, and their grasp can blind their prey's eyes, extremely ferocious.

  These birds have excellent eyesight, and from a hundred meters above, they can see the slightest movement below. It's clear that this group of vultures has spotted Ye Han lying in the grass, and is preparing to swoop down for a feast.

  Seeing so many Corpse Vultures, even a pack of wolves in the dense forest would be intimidated. Ordinary 3rd or 4th level warriors, if targeted by them, would find it difficult to escape even if they wanted to. Moreover, Ye Han's entire body was currently unable to move, and due to the strange black cauldron inside him, his battle energy couldn't be mobilized either, rendering him completely helpless.

  Those vultures seemed to have discovered the situation as well, appearing even more excited, revealing their bloodthirsty eyes, cawing loudly, and closing in one by one.

  "Ah!"

  All I heard was a harsh, ear-piercing cry. One of the vultures, much larger than its peers, could no longer bear the hunger and temptation of food, and swooped down viciously.

  The sharp beak, fiercely pecked at Ye Han's neck. This is the hunting skill they evolved over countless years, biting off the prey's trachea before suffocating it to death.

  Just as Ye Han's trachea was about to be pecked, the remaining vultures revealed excited eyes. The crazy cackling sounded, and they pounced towards this side. At this moment, the "corpse" on the ground suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a cold golden light in the depths of its pupils.

  "Hmm!"

  A cold hum, instantly echoed in the hearts of all the hundreds of vultures. The hum was not loud, but it was like a giant hammer that struck the heart of every vulture. It made them let out a miserable cry at the same time, their feathers flying wildly as they thudded to the ground with a series of loud slaps.

  Among them, the most unfortunate was the bald eagle king who first attacked Ye Han. He let out a miserable cry as his head exploded and half of his body fell to the ground in an icy manner.

  Before dying, those two small black eyes still showed a bloodthirsty excitement, and it didn't know why it suddenly died.

  The remaining vultures let out a series of mournful cries, flapping their wings wildly as they fled to a distant place. In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace, never daring to come back again.

  Ye Han couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, withdrew the spiritual energy that had been released, and closed his eyes once again to quietly heal the injuries within his body.

  Time flies second by second, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

  In these three days, Ye Han's fingers finally moved, but he was still like a living dead person and couldn't stand up or walk.

  At this time, he was still relatively calm. This place was deep in the dense forest, and there were no signs of human presence at all. The only thing worth worrying about was that from time to time, some animals with ulterior motives would covet Ye Han's immobile 'plump meat'.

  Getting rid of these ferocious predators is the most troublesome thing.

  In just these three days, Ye Han has used his spiritual power to kill no less than a dozen wild beasts, including wolves, vultures, and all sorts of other ferocious predators. This also made Ye Han feel a little frightened, fortunately his spiritual power had not been damaged too much, otherwise wouldn't he be the one on the chopping block?!

  In the late afternoon, a rustling sound came from the other side of the forest. Ye Han opened his eyes and through the dense foliage, a white deer-like magical beast with a coat as white as snow had already entered his line of sight, like an elf in the darkness of night.

  At this time, the white-spotted deer also seemed to have found Ye Han's location, staring at him with a pair of shiny black eyes, somewhat alert.

  "Come here!"

  Ye Han's eyes suddenly turned into a cold golden vortex, emitting a deep and mysterious glow, like a black hole that could swallow people's vision, becoming eerie.
