Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2224

Several hundred miles away from Sian, Severin held up his map and swiftly navigated the marked route. Along his journey, he confronted numerous ferocious beasts that were equivalent to level nine supreme saints. Thankfully, he was strong enough to deal with them swiftly.

The Fierce Beast Mountain had been deemed a forbidden and perilous area in Southsky. Only practitioners who had nothing to lose or had no qualms risking their lives would venture deep into its depths. Normal practitioners typically searched for spiritual treasures and medicinal herbs without going too far in, as further ventures would result in encounters with the toxic miasma as well as potential confrontation with beasts that could rival the practitioner's strength.

Though the Fierce Beast Mountain provide a route to Midland, no one would be willing to go through all that trouble, especially as teleportation formations rendered such journeys obsolete. He peered at the map and noticed that the destination was drawing near. A wave of relief and excitement came over him as he said, "We're reaching soon."

Despite his second-level paragon attainment, Severin could not shake his fear of the Fierce Beast Mountain. The prospect of encountering a beast with the strength of a royal paragon made the entire venture fraught with danger, thus necessitating constant vigilance.

Covering an area of a hundred miles could be done in about the same amount of time that it took for him to savor half a cup of tea. A valley cloaked in green toxic mist soon appeared on the horizon, and its expansive canyon—with steep cliffs and crisscrossing ravines—seemed like a gaping wound that had been inflicted on the earth.

As he pinpointed the potential location of the spiritual flame and prepared to make his descent, Severin detected signs of a battle from the valley. A raging roar soon followed, causing a hole to form in the poisonous mist.
