Chapter 3438 The Evil Nest
After a while, the teleportation power disappeared, and Austin steadied himself.
He then began to survey his surroundings.
There were endless mountain ranges ahead of him. Lush grasses and towering old trees were
everywhere. He could hear the low growls of fierce beasts every now and then, while massive birds
pped their wings, which casted great shadows on the mountains.
There was a huge and unfathomable abyss behind him, which was shrouded by a thick fog.
A broken wooden bridge hung above the deep abyss. However, he could not see the other end of the
bridge due to the dense mist.
Austin knew that he hade from the other side of the deep abyss.
On the other side was the mountainous area where arge number of divine gods were trapped.
Austinnded on an imposing mountain nearby. As he looked into the distance, there was nothing but
mountains that upied a vast area ofnd.
"I can''t believe there''s another mysterious mountain range waiting for me," he murmured to himself.
"Come on. Do I have to take the test again in this area?"
Austin couldn''t help butin.
"Well, I''ll look around first and see what''s going on here,"
Austin said as he turned around to nce at the abyss.
So far, he was the only one who had seeded in passing the test.
He assumed that the others were still in the middle of the process.
There was simply no way of telling how long Otis and the others would take, or if they were even going
to make it.
At that point, it was difficult to say.
Thus, he decided to explore the vicinity for the meantime.
Austin used his bodily movement skill to cross the mountains as fast as he could.
All of a sudden, a bird from afar fluttered towards him.

It was just the size of a fist, and it had purple feathers all over its body.
At first, Austin didn''t pay much attention to it. He hit the bird with his palm, so it would get out of his
way.
Boom!
The moment he hit the bird, his whole body shook violently, and he was forced to take a few steps
back.
He furrowed his eyebrows and instantly became alert. It turned out that the bird was as powerful as a
preliminary-grade divine god.
"Seriously? Even a bird here is as strong as a preliminary-grade divine god?" Austin uttered with a wry
smile.
As he took a closer look, he saw that the bird had a human face! It stared at him angrily for a short
while and flew away.
Because of that instance, Austin became more vignt.
Half a dayter, ck mountains came into his view.
They were all enveloped in an eerie, ck mist.
There were dozens of ck mountains in total, and each of them soared into the clouds and looked
daunting.
"Hmm. Is this..."
Austin stared at the mountains suspiciously. ''These ck mountains are covered in ck mist.
Something strange is going on in here, '' he analyzed with a frown.
Soon, the sound of flowing water reached his ears.
Then, he saw a long ck river among the ck mountains. It was dark and lifeless, which made him
feel ufortable.
All of a sudden, rogue waves surged into the air. He could not track down where it came from or where
it ended. Moreover, a myriad of skeletons floated on its surface from time to time. The white skeletons
were in contrast with the pitch ckness of the river, which disturbed himpletely.
"What''s that?
It looks like a spring with yellow water."
As Austin looked further, he caught sight of a big spring by the side of the ck river. Yellow water
gushed out of the spring and formed arge pool nearby.
"Hmm. Based on the terrain, I reckon this ce is fraught with extreme dangers."
Austin looked ahead and felt nervous.
When he was on the Earth, he had collected arge number of ancient books about Feng Shui and
geography in the Brilliant Kingdom. He had studied them in-depth and had learnt a lot from reading
them from time to time.
Because of the knowledge gained from books, he became proficient at the Earth Exploring Technique.
In addition, he knew all kinds of legendary mysteriousnds of death andnds of danger.
"The ck Death Mountains, the ck Death River, and the Death Spring. Is this an Evil Nest or a
receptacle of corpses?" Austin spected as he scrutinized the area.
He felt a chill run down from his spine.
ording to some of the ancient books that he had read, there were some great masters who were
unwilling to face death. Therefore, before they died, they used distinct omnipotent skills to create Evil
Nests that could nourish corpses, and even prevent them from rotting using evil energy.
Moreover, it was said that the Evil Nest could not only replenish corpses, but it could also make them
"It turns out that manynds of danger recorded in the ancient books on Feng Shui and geomancy
really do exist,"
Austin remarked as he studied the yellow pool filled with corpses.
Although he was itching to explore the Evil Nest, he was aware that he might not be able to make it out
of there alive.
Hence, he decided not to go forward.
"Help!"
someone shouted in a panic all of a sudden.
Austin looked into the distance, but found no sign of people.
"Well, I will take advantage of the Earth Energy to activate the Earth Eye Skill."
Austin concentrated andmunicated with the Earth Energy around him. In an instant, countless
Earth Energy rushed to his body.
At the same time, his pupils turned earthy yellow. He disyed one of the omnipotent skills in the Earth
Exploring Technique—the Earth Eye Skill.
Cultivators who utilized the Earth Eye Skill could see through everything even deep under the earth.
However, only those who were skillful in the Earth Exploring Technique could unleash the Earth Eye
Skill.
After he activated the Earth Eye Skill, the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor also appeared between his
eyebrows and blinked.
With the help of the Earth Eyes and the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor, Austin looked at the Evil Nest
again.
On one of the ck mountains, an old man was running as fast as he could. Several clouds of ck
mist were approaching closely behind him.
The old man looked like a human being. He wore a ck robe, had a long beard and a thin body.
However, at that time, he seemed like he was running for his life.
''A medium-grade divine god!''
Austin was shocked as he checked the old man''s cultivation base.
He could not believe that an old man who was a medium-grade divine god would be chased after by
mysterious dark mist.
After a second, the clouds of ck mist had caught up with him and had fully enveloped him. "Argh!
Please, somebody help!" the old man screamed desperately.
Then, the ck mist floated away, and left only a pool of ck water on the ground.
"Go to hell! I''ll kill you all!"
Suddenly, another roar came from the Evil Nest.
"It''s near the Death Spring!"
Austin eximed as he located the source of the voice.
It was a middle-aged man with a purple crown on his head, and a golden sword in his hand. Austin saw
him near the Death Spring.
The middle-aged man waved his sword, which created overbearing golden sword auras.
"Oh my god! He is a premium-grade divine god!"
Austin couldn''t help but exim in astonishment as he sensed the man''s strength.
''I can''t believe this man is a premium-grade divine god!'' he thought.
The middle-aged man bellowed.
He seemed to be fighting with something.
However, Austin couldn''t see anything vividly because of the mist that covered the middle-aged man''s
opponent.
Even with the aid of the Earth Eyes and the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor, he still failed to have a
clear picture of the middle-aged man''s foe.
"How is this possible? A premium-grade divine god is trapped here. That''s unbelievable!"
Austin couldn''t help but wonder.
''Fortunately, I''ve learnt the Earth Exploring Technique and activated the Earth Eye Skill to check that
ce first. Otherwise, I would lose my life there as well, '' he thought with relief.
"It''s not a good idea to enter a treacherous ce like this.
I''d better go somewhere else," he decided.
Without hesitation, he decided to make a detour.
"Frost, I ended up like this because of you. I will never let you go. Soon, I will get even with you!"
Suddenly, a furious roar came from the Evil Nest.
"Frost!"
Upon hearing this, Austin immediately stopped in his tracks. He instantly opened the Earth Eyes and
the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor to look for the voice''s owner.
