Reborn To Become A Heavenly Serpent - Chapter 23

Someplace in the vast barren land stood an enormous mountain that encircled the whole horizon.

This Mountain alone spanned itself hundreds of kilometers around the barren land providing the view a sense of magnificent.

The height alone is close up to 14km high while many of the peaks aren’t pointy nor uneven. Many of these peaks are drilled with scattered small holes… if one were to see what’s inside they could only discern a never-ending emptiness.

Each one of these holes is directly connected constructing a large arrangement of passage drilling its way down into the mountain core.

As the hole went further and further down it will soon arrive in a large chamber crammed with dark crystals inside it. Each one of these crystals is the one that had been spoken of by that young man from before. A corroded crystal.

Even further deep down… positioned inside a large lair within the mountain directly connected to a large pool of lava. Sat there a large existence with half of its body drilled inside the ground.

The size alone is up to 50 meters long with its head filled with many razor-like teeth.

Suddenly as if to be awakened by something… this existence slowly unwrapped his eyes as the ground trembled due to the coercion that it was emitting.

“Hmmm? this aura…”

an ancient growly voice echoed inside the cave.

“It’s him… what is he doing here!”

“This is my territory! is he trying to declare war on me!”

A furious roar detonated within the cave as the mountain shivered heavily.

“I’m not one to be pushed around! I will give him a warning first… but if he still insists on intruding on my territory… then I will kill him!”

“As for those ants… humph… only one of them could threaten me as for the rest I will leave it to my army”

A vicious look emerged on this existence so-called face as it slowly slanted his head upwards.

Suddenly!

*ROARRRRR!!!!!*

*boom!*

The existence roared with rage as the sound traversed upwards the hole.

The cave instantly began to tremble intensely as much debris of dirt started to fell.

When the sound reached outside through the hole. The clouds above the mountain were instantly dispersed around and scattered. Shaping a vacated C-shaped sky without anything within it.

–

Outside of the area… a bit further away from the majestic mountain.

The same group of young teenagers is still journeying their way towards the mountain.

*Trembles* *trembles*…

the ground started to shudder while the trees around them swiveled from left and right.

“Ahhh what’s happening?”

“Is there an earthquake!?”

Instantly many of them fled

to the closest open area while trying to balance themselves from the trembling Earth.

“This isn’t an earthquake…”

the woman said while she’s glaring directly towards the mountain.

As she was staring… a noticeable ring of air was rapidly looming and storming everywhere.

“Everyone stay down! and close your ears!”

She shouted with haste.

“Hurry!”

“Yes!”

Everyone followed her orders while squatting down onto the ground…

Suddenly… the wall of air swept through the area while blasting away a terrifying wind… many trees were uprooted as the ground trembled heavily.

“Arghhh!! hold on tight! do not stand up!”

Elder Li hurriedly shouted…

The next seconds…

*boom!*

a deafening roar broke out from the mountain blasting the cloud and rippling throughout the barren land.

“No wonder such things occurred… that thing roared. ”

The woman mumbled with a serious face.

“Senior I think that the Death Worm Emperor had detected us already… ”

Elder Li replied while squatting next to her.

“No, that thing won’t roar because of us… it won’t even bother to come to us… the only explanation is that something else is provoking him.”

“B-but Senior… what else could provoke an emperor class monster?”

Suddenly, one of the students behind them asked curiously…

“It should be another emperor class monster… There is no feasible explanation other than that.”

She replied…

“This?… another emperor class monster?… Se-senior doesn’t that mean we are on their battlefield?”

The student that asked from before instantly said with fear.

“Yes, Senior… if another emperor is here… then we will be affected by their battle. I think we should leave this area for now.”

Elder Li immediately put forth his idea.

“Hmmm… let me rethink-”

Without her being able to finish her sentence…

Out of nowhere

*ROARRRRR!!!!*

Another deafening roar exploded from another area… directing towards the mountain.

But this time the roar is even boisterous and more dominant than the previous one.

“Everyone duck!”

*trembles* *trembles*

*Boom!*

The roar swept out across the barren land carrying with it a large amount of dust and rubble.

“Stand still! don’t move around!”

“Yes!!”
