Chapter 1021 - A BunChapter of Hipsters
Chapter 1021: A Bunch of Hipsters
A group of people was sitting in a corner of the tavern.
They were all dressed in luxurious clothes, and they looked noble.
“Look at that guy, Little Sister Feng Wu. He’s pathetically stingy!”
A young man in blue clothes glanced at Tang Hao and sneered.
Then, he turned his face to look at a woman next to him.
The woman was extremely beautiful. Her skin was as smooth as jade, and her eyebrows were like brush strokes.
She was dressed in red clothes. On her clothes was an embroidered fiery phoenix in mid-flight.
Her figure was even more exquisite and graceful.
Even Tang Hao, who had seen many beautiful women, was stunned when he saw her.
He had seen many beautiful women in Huaxia, including Qin Xiangyi, Zhao Qingxue, and the others. The Ninth Continent was also full of beautiful women, such as the third princess of the Yun Kingdom.
However, the woman that he saw in front of him had a unique aura about her, which still gave him quite a shock.
However, Tang Hao soon looked away. He was not interested in any more beautiful women in his life.
“That’s right. You don’t even want to pay a shard. Aren’t you too stingy?”
The other young men laughed along with him.
The woman named Feng Wu glanced at him and smiled as well.
“Heh, let’s not bother with people like that. Let’s drink, and we’ll go sightseeing and recite poetry later. Won’t that be fun?”
“Sounds great! Let’s drink!”
They laughed for a while and began to drink. Soon, they lost interest in Tang Hao.
After drinking, they began to recite poetry. They seemed to be quite cultured.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes and muttered, “Pah! A bunch of hipsters!”
Sightseeing, reciting poetry, and being all romantic? They were just like the hipsters of ancient times!
He turned around and walked out of the tavern.
After taking a few steps, he decided to slaughter a few ferocious beasts for lunch and loot.
What else was the Void Realm for, if not for collecting shards and exchanging them for cultivation techniques?
He had exchanged for many things previously, including a Shard of the Great Path, the first-tier Nirvana Sutra, the second-tier Fleetfoot Stride, and all sorts of medicine and pill scriptures.
However, there were too many good things in the Void Realm. He desired the other first-tier cultivation techniques very much.
“Excuse me, Sir, can I ask you something?”
He returned to the plaza and saw an old man crouching there, so he walked over.
“Yes, young man? What do you want to know?”
The old man raised his head and looked at Tang Hao.
“I want to ask… who are the overlord beasts here?” Tang Hao asked.
The old man was surprised. “Are you from another continent, young man?”
“Yes! I just arrived at the First Continent. I’d like to find out about the situation here!” Tang Hao said.
The old man replied, “Overlords beasts? There are quite a lot of them. After all, the First Region is so big. There are ten of them in total, and people here call them the Ten Fiends. They’re extremely powerful!”
“The overlord beasts on the first level can be killed by brute force, but the ones on the second level are extremely terrifying. You’d better not go near them.”
“They’re so powerful!” Tang Hao exclaimed, “Then… which is the most powerful one?”
“The most powerful one… is the supreme overlord beast! The supreme overlord beast on this level is a dragon.”
He spoke that line with a look of reverence.
“Dragon?”
Tang Hao was excited. He remembered the scene that night when Rainbringer’s skeleton rose and soared into the sky.
It was simply too spectacular.
“That’s right, it’s a dragon! An invincible foe!”
“That’s true!” Tang Hao muttered.
The demonic roc in the Ninth Region was already almost invincible, let alone a dragon.
He asked for more details about the Ten Fiends and other ferocious beasts in the area.
He had only gathered three streaks of nascent qi, which was not enough to be undefeated in the second layer. He might not be a match for the Ten Fiends, but he could kill other, weaker beasts.
After thanking him, Tang Hao left.
Outside of town was a vast mountain range.
One of the Ten Fiends, a primordial ape, lived there. It was said that it was a hundred meters tall.
Other than the overlord beast, there were many powerful fierce beasts in the depths of the mountains. They were all extremely ancient species.
Tang Hao went deep into the mountain.
Along the way, he also encountered many fierce beasts. He killed all of them and looted their shards.
With three streaks of nascent qi, he could defeat ordinary beasts without any problem.
He was quite lucky to loot about a dozen iron shards and a few gold shards.
He encountered his first true opponent in the depths of the mountain range. It was a cloudwing tiger, and it was the size of a small hill. Whenever it flapped its wings, strong gusts of wind would fill the sky.
The beast was unexpectedly strong. Tang Hao fought with it for a long time.
It took him a lot of effort to finally kill the beast, and he dug out a platinum shard from its skull.
Then, he set up a bonfire. First, he tore off its two pairs of wings and roasted them. After eating the entire cloudwing tiger, he felt warm all over, and his soul was nourished.
“Burp!”
Tang Hao rubbed his stomach and burped.
After resting for a while, he continued to move forward.
Rumble!
In the depths of the mountain range, violent tremors and the roars of fierce beasts could be heard continuously.
“Damn! Which monster is it this time?”
Many people noticed the commotion. They looked into the depths curiously.
In the second level, only those monsters could fight against those fierce beasts.
After killing a few, Tang Hao ate them all.
“How about… Checking out the overlord beast?”
Tang Hao was quite curious as he looked into the depths.
However, he was afraid that he might be accidentally killed, which would be a great loss.
“It shouldn’t be a problem if I just take a look. If I can’t beat it, I’ll just run away!”
He mustered up his courage and rushed into the deepest part.
In the deepest part of the mountain range was a valley filled with bleached bones. That was the lair of the primordial ape.
Tang Hao was ready to explore the area. However, just as he got closer, a shocking roar suddenly came from the deepest part of the valley.
Whoosh!
A shadow shot out toward him. It was a bone that had been thrown.
Tang Hao was shocked. After dodging the bone, he heard a few rumbling sounds. A huge beast rushed out from the valley and slapped him.
‘F*ck!’
Tang Hao retreated quickly. He turned around and ran away.
‘F*ck! That’s too terrifying!’
The ape’s qi aura was several times more terrifying than the demonic roc!
His current strength was nowhere near the level it required to fight against the ape. It would not be enough even if he gathered five or even eight streaks of nascent qi.
One could gather as many streaks of nascent qi as one wished, but only a maximum of five could be turned into Nascent Souls. The others would be wasted.
That was why a prodigy would not purposely gather seven or eight streaks of nascent qi.
“F*ck! No human can beat that!”
Tang Hao cursed angrily and ran even faster.
Behind him, the primordial ape did not give up and continued to chase after him.
It had never shown any mercy to any two-legged pests that tried to spy on him.
“F*ck! Why are you chasing after me!
“Haven’t you had enough?”
Tang Hao turned around and wanted to curse.
“Oh my god! That’s the primordial ape! Why is it out of its lair?”
“Quick, quick! Run! The primordial ape is out of its nest!”
Someone saw it from afar and immediately shouted. They turned around and fled.
At that moment, a group of people walked over from not far away. Several young men and a woman were strolling, enjoying the scenery on their relaxing tour.
