Chapter 1121: Foggy Mountain

”Are we going to empty the lake?” Zowen asked. Excitement was obvious in her tone. Killing these Lesser Krakens meant levels for her. Especially when she started lower than Rosalie.

Tang Shaoyang was surprised that the magus who wanted to do research in the lake shared the same excitement. But he shook his head, ”But not now. We will wait for the Skelly Family to clean up the Epic Rank Garden before cleaning up the lake.”

Of course, he did not forget his Skelly Family. They also needed levels, and this lake would be enormous for them.

”But are you sure to clean up the lake? What if God Rank makes this breeding ground angry at us? Arenʼt you making too many enemies right now?” Rosalie said, quite concerned their action might anger the owner of the breeding ground.

If what Zowen guessed was right, the owner of the breeding ground might be watching them. Cleaning the Krakens might anger the owner. Adding one more faction with God Rank to their enemy list was not something they desired for sure. The seven God Alliances and added with the Mistovel Family and maybe the Virandal Empire that had been hunting Tang Shaoyang for the Dragon. There were too many factions with God Ranks after them already. It was quite concerning to add one more faction with the God Alliance. With many God Ranks after Tang Shaoyang, it would be easier for them to find the Earthʼs location.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged, ”It does not matter. They should know the risk of leaving their experiment in the tower. I am not going to miss a golden chance like this.”

In Tang Shaoyangʼs eyes, this was a chance to increase his familiarʼs level and also could help him level up if there were any Myth Rank Lesser Kraken or above. Whoever created the breeding should not be mad if he killed all these monsters. Even if the God Rank was mad, he would gladly take them on if they came into the tower. He felt a little bit safer after the first God Rank, who descended early in the tower. He had the Systemʼs Divine Lightning to help him to kill the God Rank in case another God Rank came after him into the tower.

”If thatʼs your decision,” Rosalie nodded. She reminded him of the potential enemy, making him aware that his decision could give him one more enemy. If he was okay, then she was not going to persuade him not to farm the Lesser Kraken.

”We will leave for now,” Tang Shaoyang glanced toward Areth, ”Lead us to the third area.”

Arethʼs eyes glued on the monster that was over ten times bigger than himself. It was still hard to believe such a big monster was easily killed by his teacher. He snapped out of his daze and turned toward his teacher, nodding in response.

”The third area was quite far from the village,” The boy pointed toward the right of the lake, taking the lead. ”We call the last area Foggy Mountain. As its name implies, itʼs a mountain with thick fog. We canʼt really see anything beyond the fog, and three of our villagers try to enter the mountain to find out what is inside. However, they never returned, and we gave up exploring the area.”

”Itʼs quite far from here, but we should be able to reach the area within an hour with my….” Before Areth could finish his words, his vision blurred as he sensed a hand coiled around his waist. In the next moment, he realized he was being carried by his teacher. He was embarrassed being carried like this, but the boy did not dare to protest.

”Tell me the directions!” Areth nodded while pointing his finger straight forward. He was about to say that with his current level, he should be able to reach the area within an hour. Despite his current level, level 734, he realized that he was still much slower than his teacher and his friends. The estimated an-hour journey was cut short in ten minutes, or maybe less. All he saw was blurred vision, and then he arrived at the foot of Foggy Mountain.

The mountain was shrouded in gray fog, blocking the vision or any skill that tried to pry into the mountain. Tang Shaoyang dropped the boy and observed the fog. Spirit Eyes did not work on the fog as he expected. He stayed there for a while, reminiscing about the past. The fog reminded him of when he went through Fogged Park with Lu An. The boy was far weaker back then, but he preserved until they went through the park and arrived at their current main base.

A smile formed on his lips. It was good, yet also not a good memory at the same time. Good because he felt like a free spirit before, with no responsibilities. He did not need to worry about anything but his life back then. Not such a good memory because he and Lu An almost died back then.

”Do you see something in the mountain?” Rosalie noticed the smile, thinking he might find something interesting in the mountain.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, ”Nope. This Foggy Mountain just reminded me of the past.”

”This looks like another breeding ground,” Zowen commented, coming closer to the fog. They were at the border of Foggy Mountain. The fog formed the wall, separating the mountain and the surroundings. She touched the fog, yet it was not normal fog. There was a barrier that prevented her from seeing beyond the fog, but the fog did not prevent them from passing through, meaning they could enter from anywhere. They did not need to look for the entrance.

The fog only had one purpose blocking the vision. When she observed it again carefully, the fog was similar to the cloud barrier in the lake. That was what led her to guess this was a breeding ground. The fog has a similar function to the cloud barrier in the lake.

”This is not a breeding ground. This is the home of the native of the tower that managed to break the chain that System put on them.” Lulu looked up at the mountain, recalling the information she had read about the tower record.
