Reversing the Milky Way

Bai Cheng was now inside the rock, having punched his way out of the space. Amplified by the power of the fragments, he punched the rock in front of him repeatedly, shattering it effortlessly. As Bai Cheng continued to strike the rock wall, he could feel it becoming increasingly thinner.

"What kind of move did that person use? It looked like a kind of talisman. We'll have to study it carefully once we get out." As he finished speaking, Bai Cheng punched the rock wall in front of him.

At this moment, Han Yu looked at the scene in disbelief. After a loud noise, a crack suddenly appeared on the rock in front of him. With rhythmic "thump, thump" sounds, the crack quickly began to extend outwards like a spider web.

Finally, after a loud bang, the rock wall in front of them suddenly exploded. After a burst of sand and dust, Bai Cheng's figure slowly appeared.

"This is impossible! How come you're completely unharmed?"

Han Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Cheng warily. Even Hu Sanshuo, who was standing next to him, was carefully examining Bai Cheng.

"It's you?! Weren't you here to visit your friend?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Bai Cheng immediately guessed that it must be Hu Sanshuo. However, after the incident just now, he no longer had any goodwill towards anyone here.

"My lord, I clearly came to visit a friend, but I didn't expect to be treated like this. Aren't you afraid that someone will report you?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Sanshuo was taken aback at first. Then, his expression turned serious, and his eyes darted around. Suddenly, he changed his expression, put on a kind smile, and slowly walked to Bai Cheng's side.

“Young man, I think it was just a misunderstanding. Han Yu was just doing his job as the guard of the deep mine. Besides, I heard that you were the one who stole the ore here.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng's expression stiffened.

But then he saw Hu Sanshuo step forward and pat him on the shoulder.

"I suppose this is your first time visiting this northern mine. Considering it's your first offense, I won't pursue the matter further this time."

However, Hu Sanshuo had a talisman hidden in his hand at this moment, which disappeared quickly when it came into contact with Bai Cheng's clothes.

Upon hearing this, Hanyu turned his head away dismissively.

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng immediately pointed at Han Yu.

"This person has taken my friend's belongings for himself, are we just going to let it go like this?"

Upon hearing this, Han Yu took out Lü Liang's folding fan and tossed it to Lü Qiuyue, who was standing to the side.

"When did I say I wanted to possess this? I just haven't handed it over to her yet. It's just a broken fan; I don't even want it."

After receiving the fan, Lü Qiuyue stared at it as if she was pondering something. Then, Bai Cheng noticed that a thin layer of tears welled up in her eyes, and under the light of the spirit-storing pearl in the mine, her eyes seemed to be sparkling.

"Thank you, Bai Cheng. Please tell my brother that I didn't take it to heart."

"Alright, alright, now that you've finished your business, hurry up and leave this place."

Hu Sanshuo impatiently urged Bai Cheng in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Bai Cheng left the deep mine and went to the shallow mine where Lü Liang was located. After relaying Lü Qiuyue's words, he walked straight out of the mine and left the northern mine.

The moment Bai Cheng stepped out of the gate of the northern mine, he turned his head to look at the plaque of the northern mine.

"Damn it, what a lousy place this is! I'll never come here again."

After saying that, Bai Cheng left without looking back.

However, at this moment, on a high platform inside the mine, Hu Sanshuo and Han Yu stared at Bai Cheng's departing figure with cold expressions.

"Are we just going to let this kid leave like that?"

Hu Sanshuo's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

"There are too many people and too many eyes in the mine; it's not a good time to make a move. This little beast dares to point fingers in the mine I'm in charge of. He's got a death wish."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up a compass. On the compass, a point of light was moving steadily southward within the array of patterns.

This type of compass is called a tracking compass and is used in conjunction with tracking symbols.

He then handed the compass to Hanyu beside him.

"Remember, be quick and efficient. If you can't handle it, I can lend you that thing."

After taking the tracking compass, Han Yu stared fiercely at the moving light spot on it.

"Don't worry, Lord Hu. I didn't dare to use my full strength in the mine just now. I just didn't expect that the kid could be unharmed by the attack of the Earth Rock Talisman. He must have used some kind of life-saving method."

After speaking, he gazed intently in the direction Bai Cheng had left.

After traveling for more than an hour, Bai Cheng arrived at the outer area of ​​Yunluo Forest. It was already close to afternoon.

"Looks like we need to catch some wild game for Little Yellow soon."

After that, Bai Cheng began searching the outer area of ​​the Cloudfall Forest. However, after searching for a while, he found that the wild beasts he encountered were mostly ordinary, and he didn't even encounter a single spirit beast.

Afterwards, Bai Cheng decided to explore the depths of Yunluo Forest. The moment he stepped into the depths of Yunluo Forest, Bai Cheng immediately felt that the atmosphere around him was completely different. The spiritual energy content here was at least three times that of the outside world. The rustling of birdsong echoed around Bai Cheng.

As Bai Cheng looked up, he discovered that the trees around him were already hundreds of meters tall, and some were even over two hundred meters tall.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Cheng searched the forest for another half hour, but strangely, he didn't encounter a single spirit beast.

"What's going on? Why does it feel like there are far fewer wild beasts deep in the Cloudfall Forest?"

He then quickly climbed up a large tree nearby, followed the branches to the top of the tree, and began to observe.

A sudden burst of light opened up the view, revealing endless greenery all around, with distant, layered mountains shrouded in mist—the very location of the Yunluo Mountains. Bai Cheng gazed at the distant mountains, where the peaks of the Yunluo Mountains seemed to pierce the clouds. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the exposed parts of these mountains were barely halfway up. A continuous expanse of white clouds stretched from west to east, like a ribbon connecting the entire mountain range.

Upon seeing this scene, Bai Cheng repeatedly expressed his admiration.

"Is this the Cloudfall Mountains? As expected of the largest mountain range in the Fire Cloud Kingdom, even the lowest peak looks to be nearly 5,000 meters high, and the highest peak is probably over 10,000 meters high."

After saying that, Bai Cheng looked at the highest peak in the mountain range. He could vaguely see that the top of the peak had broken through the clouds and a considerable part of it was exposed.

After gazing into the distance for a long time, Bai Cheng jumped down from the top of the tree.

"What should we do now? We definitely can't go into the Yunluo Mountains. We can only continue searching deep into the Yunluo Forest."

Immediately afterwards, Bai Cheng continued to search for traces of spirit beasts deep in the Cloudfall Forest. During his search, he often saw some first- or second-grade spirit plants growing in dangerous terrain or places where spiritual energy was concentrated, but these were not what he needed at the moment.

Just as Bai Cheng was aimlessly searching in the forest, he suddenly felt that the spiritual energy around him had become more concentrated, and the spiritual energy seemed to be flowing from the direction in front of him.

Bai Cheng followed the direction and, after parting the dense bushes, was surprised to find a lake in front of him! The lake was not large, far smaller than Jingyue Lake, but the spiritual energy emanating from it attracted countless wild beasts from the surrounding mountains to gather around it.

Bai Cheng, upon seeing this, also widened his eyes.

"No wonder I haven't encountered any spirit beasts; it turns out they've all gathered here."

Bai Cheng began to observe the types of spirit beasts around the lake. He discovered that there were as many as seventeen types of first-grade spirit beasts and five types of second-grade spirit beasts. However, what surprised Bai Cheng the most was that he actually found a blood-horned rhinoceros. You should know that this is a mount spirit beast among the third-grade spirit beasts, and its price is quite high.

However, at that moment, he suddenly heard the rustling of people talking coming from the distant jungle.

"Huh? I didn't expect there to be other people here?!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Cheng cautiously approached the direction of the sound.

When he saw the group of people clearly, his face immediately turned fierce, his fists clenched, and anger rose within him. For before him stood none other than a band of thieves led by Hao Mo, numbering more than twenty.

At this moment, Hao Mo was also carefully observing the lake in front of him.

"Damn it, we've been searching for almost two months, and we've finally found this bloodhorn rhinoceros. Minions, slowly surround it, don't let the beast get alerted."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Motou led his group of underlings slowly toward the lake, and Bai Cheng followed closely behind.

'These bandits wanted to kill me before, but I am no longer the same person I was before. If I don't avenge this, I, Bai Cheng, will never have peace of mind.'

As Bai Cheng steadily followed behind the group of bandits, he noticed that the closer they got to the lake, the more strange little animals appeared around them, and even some poisonous snakes.

Upon discovering it, Bai Cheng also grabbed the venomous snake and held it tightly in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at the group of bandits not far away and threw the venomous snake over, which landed right on the neck of one of the bandits.

The bandit screamed after feeling a sharp pain in his neck.

"Holy crap!"

However, his shout suddenly alerted the various spirit beasts that were resting around the lake.

Upon witnessing this scene, Hao Motou turned around, furious, and went straight to the bandit. He grabbed the bandit by the collar and lifted him up.

"What the hell are you doing?! What if the spirit beast gets away?!"

After saying that, he swung his fist and punched the bandit in the face, then threw him to the ground. However, what he didn't notice was that the venomous snake had already slithered past their feet and crawled into the depths of the forest.

Hao Mo glanced at the bandit lying on the ground and said, "If you dare to make any more strange noises, I will definitely not let you off. Now get up right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bandit lay motionless on the ground. Hao Mo frowned upon seeing this.

"I fucking told you to get up! Didn't you hear me?!"

After saying that, Hao Motou stepped forward and kicked the bandit twice.

However, the bandits in front of him had purple faces and were foaming at the mouth.

Upon seeing this, one of the bandits said, "Second Master, it seems he has been poisoned."

Upon hearing this, Hao Motou immediately stepped forward to check. He then discovered two clear teeth marks on the bandit's neck and sighed upon seeing this.

"Sigh, looks like he's done for. He can only blame his bad luck. You all need to be careful. There are a lot of poisonous insects gathered here. If anyone gets bitten by these things, he can only blame himself."

As he finished speaking, he continued to lead the bandits slowly closer to the Bloodhorn Rhinoceros.

Bai Cheng, who witnessed all of this, also looked solemn.

'I never imagined the venomous snakes here were so potent. From the moment that bandit was bitten to his death, only two minutes had passed. Since they're so effective, we must make the most of them.'

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng quickly approached the direction in which the venomous snake had fled. After searching for a while, Bai Cheng caught the venomous snake again.

In fact, with Bai Cheng's current strength, he is not afraid of this group of bandits at all. Apart from the leader Hao Motou, who requires some effort, the rest of them can basically not last more than three moves against Bai Cheng. However, these people are all carrying weapons, so it will not be that simple if a fight breaks out.

Bai Cheng continued to secretly follow the group, and when they weren't paying attention, he threw the venomous snake in his hand onto one of the bandits. The snake quickly slithered into the bandit's clothes.

Upon feeling the foreign object on his body, the thief quickly began groping himself, which immediately caught the attention of the other thief beside him.

"Hey bro, what's wrong?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the bandit, who had been rummaging through his clothes, pulled out the purple venomous snake from his clothes. Startled, he threw the snake away forcefully, and by sheer coincidence, it landed on another bandit.

This immediately startled another bandit, who began to scream, and the scream instantly caught Hao Mo's attention.

"Hey, what's wrong with you two?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the two bandits in front of him turned purple, foamed at the mouth, and collapsed to the ground.

Hao Mo frowned upon seeing this.

"This is?!"

Immediately afterwards, he saw a purple venomous snake emerge from the clothes of one of the bandits.

Upon seeing this, he immediately grabbed the Cold Moon Blade in his hand and cleaved the venomous snake in two with a single stroke.

Bai Cheng, who was in the shadows, sighed upon witnessing this scene.

'Sigh, what a pity about this snake, but watch me add another twist for you.'

He then continued to follow behind the group of bandits.
