Shadow Hack
chapter-681

Miss An snorted. “I naturally have my ways! Okay, okay, I don’t want to talk anymore nonsense with you. In any case, once you take the front, our Underworld Serpent will be safe. If you encounter some emergency, don’t hope that our Underworld Serpent will care about you.”

Li Yunmu nodded at her. “Same to you!”

In any case, Miss An wasn’t any good news in Li Yunmu’s eyes. He naturally didn’t hope that her Underworld Serpent would do anything to help him.

As long as they didn’t cause trouble for him, he would already thank his stars!

Li Yunmu then began to proceed towards the Ancient Lands once more while enquiring the system about the directions.

Halfway there though, the path was broken. They reached a steep cliff, and there was no more road forward.

Despair appeared on Miss An’s face. “The legend is really true then, that it is impossible to reach the eastern domain. How could the path break at midway point? Li Yunmu, are you trying to deliberately make a fool out of me? To intentionally become the enemy of our Underworld Serpent?”

Li Yunmu rolled his eyes. “I’m not idle enough to play games with you. I am busy with my own affairs! I’m not very familiar with the eastern domain so I’m just following the map. The path is broken here though and there is nothing more recorded in the map.”

Miss An pouted. “Hateful! Don’t tell me there truly isn’t a place in such a large Origin World for my Underworld Serpent to survive?”

Li Yunmu nodded at her. “You have become the target of many powers. If you hadn’t invited the Eight, would the Scandinavian God Council and Heavenly Gods Council had joined hands to fight against them?

“Just based on this point, you can no longer exist in the territory of Heavenly Gods Council and Scandinavian God Council. Not to mention that after the Eight suffered a crushing defeat, you people poured a torrent of insults on them and completely offended them.

“The only place where the Underworld Serpent can go is the Two Poles of Morning and Evening. However, the power structure there is even more complicated than among the other powers. They have already divided into two factions, which makes that place even less suited for Underworld Serpent.”

His words hit the mark in Miss An’s heart, making her feel somewhat ashamed. She could not deny the facts, however.

But what confused Miss An was that it hadn’t been long since Li Yunmu had entered the Origin World. How did he understand its situation so clearly? Could it be because of that being inside his body?

When she thought of it, Miss An couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. As long they could obtain the being inside Li Yunmu’s body, how could they still be unable to find a path into the eastern domain? She didn’t believe that!

Just as Li Yunmu had analyzed, Miss An understood that she could only proceed towards the eastern domain to temporarily evade the hunt of the western powers.

At that moment, a voice echoed in Li Yunmu’s body. It constantly reverberated in his ears.

[Jump down! Jump down and you will see the eastern domain!]

In the past, the path between the west and east had been cut off, causing the exchange between the two sides to become infrequent. Gradually, the situation reached its present state where all the paths were broken and they could only gaze at each other from afar.

The system constantly ordered Li Yunmu to jump down to reach the eastern domain, but he didn’t know whether he should believe it or not.

Doesn’t matter! First, I need to reach the eastern domain. Then, I can ask for the true facts from the system!

After Li Yunmu thought that, he jumped off the cliff. His action scared Miss An and the others, who were so astonished that they couldn’t say a word.

“Miss An, what should we do? This youngster is crazy! He is too eager to die!”

Miss An didn’t think that Li Yunmu did it because he didn’t want to live. It was definitely because of the instructions the being inside his body had given him. With that being the case, the members of Underworld Serpent had to follow him. It was their only way to survive!

“Follow after him and jump!”

When Miss An said that, she closed her eyes and jumped.

The other members of Underworld Serpent looked at each other in dismay. Their leader shouldn’t have lost her brain like that guy who jumped off just a moment ago?

However when they saw Miss An jump down, how would the people of Underworld Serpent not follow? So all of them also jumped after her.

Miss An released a muffled shriek, then her body suddenly landed on something soft.

“Finally?”

When Miss An opened her eyes, she saw mountains in all directions. Their peaks stretched far and wide, and all of them were covered in verdant plant life.

It was extremely beautiful.

Was it the eastern domain? It seemed much more beautiful than the western region.

“This is so beautiful!”

“Can you move your buttocks from me before enjoying the scenery.”

Li Yunmu’s words gave Miss An a fright, and she rushed to her feet while snorting at him. “Why did you jump without saying anything to us, Underworld Serpent? You might have died, you know?”

“Your Underworld Serpent doesn’t care about my death, does it? I wanted to jump, so I jumped! And have created no obstruction for you all!”

“You!” Miss An pointed at Li Yunmu in anger and puffed up her cheeks.

Li Yunmu stood up and looked all himself before asking inside himself, “So are we in the eastern domain’s Ancient Lands already?”

[This is eastern domain, but we still haven’t reached the Ancient Lands!]

“So we have only arrived at the eastern domain? How far are we from the Ancient Lands?” Li Yunmu asked in astonishment:

[Don’t worry about the distance. First resolve the matter in front of you, then we’ll talk.]

“What matter in front of me? It’s only Underworld Serpent’s people, but wait…”

Li Yunmu was originally relaxed, but once he turned around, he discovered that he was being attacked by a group of beasts. They looked extremely sinister and had an enormous horn on their heads. They also seemed to have been lying in wait for a long time.

Probably because Li Yunmu and others had suddenly descended, the giant beasts had been startled. Soon though, they organized themselves and came over to examine them.

“How could so many monsters appear here?”

Miss An’s complexion changed greatly. It was just as the rumors which circulated in the western region had said. The eastern domain was legendary for its beast clans. They were very intelligent and would sometimes contend for hegemony over some regions after turning into devil beasts.

The mysterious beast clans were monsters dreaded by the western gods.

But Miss An hadn’t expected that just as they arrived in the eastern domain, they would encounter one of them.

“How could I be so unlucky? Don’t tell me that the ultimate fate of our Underworld Serpent is to be devoured by these monsters? I am truly unwilling!”

When Li Yunmu saw Miss An’s indignation, his expression turned grave. “It’d be better to think of some strategy now. How can we escape from these monsters?”
