Chapter 819
They had arrived at the Yellow Spring River .
Bu Fang and Nethery looked at the massive, furiously seething Yellow Spring River in a daze .
In their hands, steam rose from the roast meat .
Chomp .
Bu Fang opened his mouth and tore through the roast meat with his teeth . The golden oil oozed from it, dripping on the ground .
From the river, steaming hot water splashed toward Bu Fang’s face .
The Yellow Spring River was a huge river that cut across the Earth Prison . The river’s blood-red water never ceased flowing . Sometimes, withered bones and even fragments of legendary divine weapons would float and bob down the river, drifting away .
It was a mysterious river, indeed .
“Follow me, the Yellow Spring River’s surroundings are very dangerous . With your current power, it’s easy to get into trouble . ” Nethery stuffed her mouth with the meat . She waved at Bu Fang, walking forward .
Bu Fang froze for a while before following her .
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
The cyan stones near the bank of the Yellow Spring River were also dyed red, which looked somewhat fearsome .
“Those are called Blood Marble . They were formed and dyed with the water from the Yellow Spring River . They are considered a natural resource available around the Earth Prison . Since the Blood Marble is suitable for transmitting mental force, many great blacksmiths would use them in their forging process,” Nethery explained as they walked .
The two proceeded forward, and the foliage around them became more abundant .
Amazingly, some trees grew directly from the Blood Marbles . Those trees swayed, and the leaves rattled, producing eerie sounds that sent a chill down people’s spines .
Gurgle… Gurgle…
Many spirit beasts were crouching on the trees . They looked very ferocious and frightening, their bodies stained in a blood-red color .
Their round eyes gazed at Bu Fang and Nethery, making their pores squeeze up .
“They are the spirit beasts living by the Yellow Spring River’s riverbanks . They’re really strong . However, as long as you don’t provoke them, they wouldn’t make a move,” said Nethery .
However, as soon as she finished her sentence, the spirit beasts made a move . They tucked their forked tongues out, which looked like those of a snake .
Bu Fang chomped his roast meat, giving her a nod .
“Yeah, no provoking . We’re here to take the Yellow Spring Grass . After that, we’ll go immediately,” said Bu Fang .
The fragrance of the steaming hot roast meat dispersed, lingering around the area .
Bu Fang was satisfied with his roast meat since the meat wasn’t all that bad . In fact, it was much better than the many kinds of meat available in the Hidden Dragon Continent .
Meanwhile, the spirit beasts on the trees continued moving .
Their eyes gazed at Bu Fang . A moment later, they opened their mouths, shrilling at the two . Their voices echoed throughout the area .

A spirit beast jumped off the tree, landing on the ground forcefully .
Dust and mud were stirred up . The spirit beast charged straight for Bu Fang with incredible speed .
Nethery and Bu Fang were startled .
Nethery’s eyes focused . She raised her exquisite hand, striking a blow at the spirit beast .
“Didn’t you just say that if we don’t provoke them, they won’t attack us?” Bu Fang bit down on the meat one more time, asking skeptically .
Nethery’s face darkened . She didn’t know what had happened as well .
The speed of that spirit beast was really faster than she had expected . It had reached them before they had time to fully react .
However, ever since they had returned to the Netherworld, Nethery’s cultivation base had become stronger . The void even seemed to distort and materialize under her palm .
Thud .
The spirit beast was blown backward .
However, that spirit beast did a somersault in the sky before landing on its feet . Immediately, it charged straight at them once again .
Squeak . Squeak .
The trees rattled…
A moment later, numerous twinkling, frightening eyes flashed .
The same kind of spirit beasts craned their necks out of every tree . Then, as Bu Fang and Nethery watched with shock, they descended from the trees one after another, dashing toward the two of them .
The horde of spirit beasts made Nethery speechless .
“Run!” Nethery screamed .
Facing so many spirit beasts, only an idiot would stay and fight .
And so, Bu Fang and Nethery grabbed their roast meat, crazily running away .
However, no matter where they ran, those spirit beasts would follow, attacking them in a frenzy .
Bu Fang raised his brows as an idea popped up in his head .
A moment later, he threw away the roast meat in his hand .
The steaming hot meat curved through the air before falling on the ground with an audible thud .
It was strange, anyway .
Those spirit beasts chasing after Bu Fang instantly changed their target . They crazily rushed toward his roast meat .

Nethery was startled when she saw that . As it turned out, those spirit beasts were attracted by Bu Fang’s food .
Thinking about it, Nethery also wanted to throw her meat away to attract the spirit beasts .
However, before throwing her meat away, Nethery hungrily bit into the meat one last time . The oily juice splashed, and the meat filled her mouth .
After chewing a few times, Nethery finally threw it away, attracting the spirit beasts’ attention .
As Nethery continued chewing, the two of them exchanged looks, their faces emotionless .
Who knew that the meat in their hands had provoked those spirit beasts? Indeed, they stood out too much, eating roast meat while crossing the river .
“Let’s go… while those fellows are attracted by the roast meat,” Nethery said, pulling Bu Fang’s hand, deciding to head toward the distance .
However, as soon as they took a step, they halted .
Because far from them, the bright eyes of the spirit beasts were all gazing at Bu Fang and Nethery, blocking their path .
Bu Fang looked at that crazy horde of greedy spirit beasts for a few moments before saying, “We should go back…”
Begrudgingly, they had to retreat .
Bu Fang found that body of the giant spirit beast that he had slain .
As they had left for a while, some spirit beasts, which looked like dark green wolves, had laid their eyes on the corpse .
“The Netherworld is actually a world where the strong eats the weak . Whoever’s got the bigger fists makes the rules…” Nethery said .
Those dark green wolves weren’t really strong . However, they were enough to let Bu Fang understand how dangerous the Netherworld was .
When the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife appeared in his hand, the dark green wolves ran away, intimidated by the dragon .
Bu Fang cut a big block of meat from the spirit beast’s corpse, putting it into his system dimensional bag .
Getting back to the riverside, Bu Fang whipped out his Black Turtle Constellation Wok .
Those spirit beasts liked roast meat, didn’t they?
Then let’s use roast meat to attract them…
The golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife spun on Bu Fang’s palm, sparkling with radiance . Then, he began to roast the spirit beast’s meat . Using the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, the aroma of the roast meat became thicker and stronger .
Pieces of golden glistening roast meat rose up, stacking together .
More and more spirit beasts began craning their heads out of the trees .
Bu Fang and Nethery exchanged looks . They stepped out and immediately dashed ahead .
With every step they made, they threw a piece of roast meat away . Instantly, they had a whole pack of spirit beasts on their tail .

As they ran and threw piece after piece, the spirit beasts were attracted one by one…
However, they still had to continue to dash without stopping .
After the spirit beasts finished the meat, they resumed their chase .
Bu Fang and Nethery didn’t even turn their heads around, they only focused on gaining extra distance as much as they could .
Unknowingly, they had already crossed the thick forest, reaching the Yellow Spring River’s riverbank .
When the spirit beasts approached the riverbank, they didn’t dare to move forward . They hurriedly retreated, as though they were afraid of something .
The Yellow Spring River’s water was blood-red, which looked like the entire river was dyed with fresh blood .
The blood-red water was murky, so people couldn’t see what was at the riverbed .
“We need to cross the river . The other side is where the Yellow Spring Grass grows . ” Nethery pointed toward the riverbank on the other side, which was covered in a blood-red mist .
The other side of the river was obscured by a thick fog .
Nethery’s hands lowered . A moment later, the Netherworld Ship appeared .
“Hop on . We should use the ship . With our competence level, if we dared to cross the air above the river, terrifying things would strike us into the river . Then, we will be eroded to our bones . Unless they are existences at Lord Dog’s level, no one dares to cross the air here . It’s no different from courting death,” Nethery warned .
Thus, they got on the Netherworld Ship .
Rumble! Rumble!
The river seethed as the Netherworld Ship got on the water .
Nethery and Bu Fang stood on the Netherworld Ship’s deck in silence .
A mysterious force pushed the Netherworld Ship from behind . It swayed and calmly moved toward the other side of the river .
Bu Fang stood on the front deck, watching the river water .
The river water rippled like the roar of a savage beast . Sometimes, he saw broken white bones and some unknown fragments drifting by .
It was absolutely terrifying .
Indeed, the Yellow Spring River was mysterious .
The Netherworld Ship swayed, soon disappearing into the blood fog .
On the riverbank, the spirit beasts that had vied for the roast meat climbed back on the trees . They craned their necks and tucked their tongues out, watching the Netherworld Ship disappear .
Hidden Dragon Continent
Several hundred miles outside the Heavenly Secret Holy Land, the void was distorted . A moment later, it was torn apart, becoming a shattered and twisted cave .
Three figures slowly walked out of the cave .
Boom! Boom!
As soon as they walked out of the space fissure, Mo Sa slumped on the ground . He panted . His giant body shrank back to his regular size, which was around three meters tall .
Black blood was gushing out of the holes on his body .
The divine energy lingering on his wounds was slowly eroded away by his Nether energy . Shortly, the divine energy disappeared, and in turn, Mo Sa’s bleeding holes slowly recovered .
“Scared me out of my wits! Almost let that Granny kill me!” Mo Sa rubbed the metal rings on his horns, talking with fear lingering in his heart .
“The Hidden Dragon Continent was able to protect the Heaven Pass for so many years because of people like that granny . They were willing to stake their lives recklessly . If I weren’t there, you two would have been dead by now,” Mo Ye said bluntly .
The vertical eyes on his forehead closed, resuming their silent state .
Mo Cha flapped his wings . He was somewhat angry, wiping away black blood on his mouth .
“Damn… My senses never failed me . The Heavenly Star Catcher Disk was definitely in the Heavenly Secret Holy Land at that time…”
“Previously, you’ve promised me . And now, you’ve made a mistake . You tell me… do you want to die?” Mo Ye clasped his hands together, sweeping his eyes through Mo Cha .
Mo Cha felt like his entire body was being twisted .
“The Heaven Pass Tribulation will start soon . If we can’t get the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk, we will have to pay a big price to break the Heaven Pass . So, you have to sense it right now . Find out where that damn Heavenly Star Catcher Disk is… or you will die right here!” Mo Ye seemed angry . His eyes became frighteningly cold as he said that .
The vertical eye on his glabella opened, letting out frigid light .
Mo Cha’s body tightened, and several feathers fell off his wings .
“Don’t, don’t, don’t… Mo Ye, Big Boss, there’s no need for violence . I’m going to sense it right now!”
Mo Cha waved his hands . A moment later, he closed his eyes, his mental force scattering throughout the area .
All of a sudden, after just a single breath, Mo Cha gawked . He looked at Mo Ye awkwardly .
“Mo Ye, Big Boss… I’ve got it . ” Mo Cha was a little shocked .
“Where is it?”
“That direction…” Mo Cha’s mouth twisted as he pointed in the opposite direction of the Heavenly Secret Holy Land .
That direction… led to the Valley of Gluttony .
