Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning Novel - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Mushroom Peak

Seeing that so many people wanted to go, Ye Chen naturally would not fall behind. Primordial ancient buildings meant that this was not the era of wild beasts in the vast wilderness. There were still other living beings living there.

If they could find traces of other living beings, it would be a major breakthrough for those who had transmigrated.

Screech!

Wu!

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s call, which was filled with fighting spirit, they understood their master’s intentions. Affected by him, they all let out arrogant cries.

“Come on, guys. I don’t know where I am—”

“All I remember is that when we got here, there were purple bats. I was too hungry to hunt for food…”

Quiet…

The Regional Chat instantly went dead silent.

Ye Chen could not help but say, “Brother, you even eat bats. How hard is your head???”

“Damn, Boss Ye Chen!”

“Big Boss Ye Chen is actually by my side? It’s me who failed to recognize Mount Tai.”

“Big boss, big boss, do you still need a pendant on your thigh?”

“With Big Boss Ye Chen exploring with us, our safety is at least 50% guaranteed.”

“Big Boss Ye Chen, do you still lack underlings? My tribe and mutated beasts are gone…”

“Ye Chen.”

He did not expect that he was now a famous person in the vast wilderness. Just a few words had instantly changed the topic to him.

The cry for help was drowned in the sea of information.

“Everyone, calm down. Our main priority now is to save that brother. We absolutely cannot allow him, who is also an Earthling, to die before our eyes!”

Ye Chen really had a headache. His main goal now was to explore that ruin.

If he was messed with by these people, that person would be gone. He wouldn’t even have a place to cry. As for whether or not he could let an Earthling die in front of him, that would depend on the person.

“A big shot is indeed a big shot. His magnanimity is admirable.”

“Is this Boss Ye Chen? I love him.”

“I didn’t expect Boss Ye Chen to be so powerful. He’s even so broad-minded. I am a hardcore fan!”

“Isn’t that obvious? Otherwise, why wouldn’t others call you big boss?”

“Brother, send us the location. We’ll be there soon.”

“I don’t think you’re sleepwalking. Didn’t he just say he didn’t know the location and only knew there were purple bats nearby?”

“Uh…”

“I think I went there a few days ago. I seem to remember that one of the mountains was quite special. Apart from the greenery at the top of the mountain, the bottom was filled with black rocks.”

“I know. It’s about a hundred kilometers away from me. It’s called Mushroom Peak. Because it looks like a mushroom, I call it Mushroom Peak.”

“Now that you mention it, I have an impression of it too. It’s closer to me, about 40 to 50 kilometers away.”

“….”

Ye Chen frowned as he looked at the location they mentioned. He had a rough understanding of the surrounding environment on the back of the Kun Peng but he did not see the mountain he described.

“I… know.”

At this moment, the Divine Phoenix jumped up and looked in a certain direction without moving.

“You know about it, Sun God Envoy?”

“Then quickly lead the way!”

Seeing that the Immortal Phoenix said it knew, Ye Chen did not delay and directly jumped onto the Kun Peng’s back.

He had scouted out the surrounding areas and did not find any mountain peaks described in the Regional Chat. That location was definitely not close. The Kun Peng was the best choice for a long journey.

“Woo… woo…”

After the Divine Phoenix jumped on it, Ye Chen clearly felt the resistance from the Kun Peng.

Fortunately, these two fellows could be considered to be acquaintances and had their own connections. Otherwise, there would definitely be another commotion.

Fortunately, the Kun Peng also knew the urgency of the matter. After instinctively struggling for a while, it headed in the direction the Immortal Phoenix pointed.

“Master, that’s about 500 kilometers away from us.”

“Yeah, I’m fine. I trust you.”

The Divine Phoenix’s speech was becoming smoother and smoother. There was actually no pause in such a long sentence. It was a huge improvement.

Then, Ye Chen said in the Regional Chat, “I’m about 600 kilometers away from Mushroom Peak. I’ll be there in a while!”

Screech!

After hearing the distance from the Immortal Phoenix, the Kun Peng seemed to have been provoked. It let out a long cry and its body enlarged once again.

With every flap of the azure wings, Ye Chen seemed to have performed a spatial leap and was extremely fast.

“As expected of the world’s fastest speed, awesome!”

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen also gave appropriate ‘encouragement’. Upon receiving his master’s affirmation, the frequency of the Kun Peng flapping its wings became more frequent. How could these two fellows’ little thoughts escape Ye Chen’s eyes…

…

Mushroom Peak.

A few people in the vicinity had long been waiting here, discussing spiritedly. After coming to this great wasteland for so many days, this was the first time they saw their own kind.

Naturally, it was just like how people from the same hometown saw each other from the same hometown. The two of them had tears in their eyes and there was no shortage of people who pitied each other.

“Brother, your muscles are so well-developed. Seems like you’re living quite well in the wilderness.”

According to the current situation, this muscular man was so thin that his biceps could be seen. There were even signs of ribs on his chest.

“Don’t make fun of me. Do you think I want to? I only managed to maintain my figure after three days of eating.”

“You’re really living a good life. You didn’t even show your ribs. Awesome, brother!”

“And the two of you, my dear brothers, only the outline of your ribs can be seen. You can even feel a trace of fat when you pinch your face.”

“Of course. The area we’re in happens to have those edible fruits. They’re the size of apples. It’s enough to eat three of them a day.”

“Three a day? How extravagant. I’m from the mountains. I know a lot of edible tree roots and leaves to ensure my survival,” said a person whose skin was slightly green.

“Sigh, if it wasn’t for Big Boss Ye Chen saying that he wanted to come, I wouldn’t have come even if you beat me to death. Isn’t this just looking for trouble? I’ll walk over and waste half of my fruit’s energy.”

“That’s right. I wonder when Boss Ye Chen will arrive. It’s more than 600 kilometers from here. It should be evening no matter what.”

One of them looked at the rising sun.

“You’re looking down on me, Veteran Ye Chen. I’m guessing that we’ll arrive at noon at most. It’s just a mere 600 kilometers.”

It was about 8: 30 pm now. By 12: 00 pm, four hours, and six hundred kilometers would be very fast.

“Everyone, stop talking. It’s a waste of our energy. We have enough time to talk.”

“Yes, yes, yes. No more talking. Just wait.”

Time passed by slowly. None of the people sitting on the poles spoke.

It was just like what the previous person had said, it was a waste of energy to speak.

About half an hour later, Mushroom Peak.

“Is that a meteor?”
