Chapter 1065 Paradise Beyond the World

The appearance of these people was exactly the same as those who had been hanging outside earlier. However, it was clear that these bodies had been here for a very long time. Due to the high temperature in the area, they had turned into mummies.

“Did you kill all of these?” Carolyn couldn’t help but ask. Up ahead, the wildling came to a halt, a glint of murderous intent flickering in his eyes. Then, in English, he said, “They… all of them… grave robbers. The trees here… covered in them, hanging… all the way out…’

Clearly, what he meant was that these people were probably coveting the Phoenix Grave, intending to come and rob the tomb. However, they were killed by this wildling, who then hung their bodies up like this.

Carolyn had been through countless battles and even participated in several large-scale campaigns. She had witnessed unimaginably gruesome scenes, but this one still made her scalp tingle. “Here we are!” Wildling stretched out his finger and pointed at the canyon ahead. Carolyn glanced at the canyon, and she had a strong feeling that Phoenix Grave was located just beyond it

Carolyn glanced back at Fenton, who was so scared that he had closed his eyes, and said with a slight smile, “Keep leading the way!” Wildling continued to lead the way. The hover car took off and began to

weave through the massive canyon. The temperature was extremely high on both sides of the canyon, with the surrounding rock walls being a vibrant red color. These walls were covered in an abundance of red plants, creating a striking visual experience. It’s quite surprising to see plants growing at such temperatures. The canyon was incredibly deep, and as Carolyn crossed it, she was left utterly astonished

If the sight of those dried corpses before entering the canyon was like a human purgatory, then everything seen after crossing the canyon was like a utopian paradise.

The temperature in this place has dropped significantly, and the vast expanse before me is filled with red trees and blooming flowers in various shades of pink and red!

In the distance, there were several buildings, all of which were wooden houses. As evening approached, wisps of smoke continuously rose into the sky. This place is like a secluded utopia, cut off from the rest of the world.

But the moment they arrived at this place, Carolyn began to tremble ever so slightly. That feeling of palpitations grew increasingly intense, as if there was something in this place that was drawing him in, yet it also filled her with fear. Whoosh!

Just at that moment, a terrifying aufa rose and approached from a distance, quickly reaching the place where they were. It appeared in front of Carolyn and her companions, taking the form of a hunched old woman with a face full of wrinkles. She leaned on a walking stick, pointing it in Carolyn’s direction.

Carolyn only felt an immense pressure as the hover car suddenly plummeted, landing on the ground with a thud.

The old woman lifted her head, looked at Carolyn, and then glared fiercely at the wildling, saying, “Why did you bring a stranger here? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” What she spoke was fluent English. “P-Phoenix…” Wildling stammered, pointing at Carolyn.

Upon hearing this, a burst of brilliance shone in Mia Monroe’s cloudy eyes. She suddenly turned to look at Carolyn, and then, with a swift flick of her walking stick, a surge of Vital Energy rushed towards Carolyn!

Carolyn’s face changed as she could sense that Mia’s strength was definitely at the eternal level of Flame Decay. She couldn’t afford to be careless. Bursting out from the broken windshield of the hover car, her body was engulfed in flames. Above the sky, the shadow of a phoenix emerged. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Chirp!

The moment the phoenix shadow appeared, a clear bird song echoed throughout the mountains. In the distant mountain range, a red flame rose and floated in the air. The flame slowly gathered, forming a fiery bird that illuminated the entire sky. Thud! Up ahead, Mia looked at Carolyn, and then her legs trembled. She knelt down abruptly, her knees hitting the ground with a thud.

Carolyn’s face was filled with astonishment, as she had no idea what was going on. She could clearly see Mia standing in front of her, with two lines of hot tears streaming down from her eyes. “Heir of the Phoenix, you’ve finally arrived,” Mia said with a choked voice, her eyes filled with tears.

“I…” Carolyn looked completely bewildered! At this moment, she suddenly noticed that not far away, one figure after another emerged from the shadows. The mountain village seemed quite small, with only a few hundred people. Their clothes were rather shabby, but at this moment, their faces were filled with devotion. They stepped out of their houses, looked in the direction of the flaming phoenix, knelt on the ground, and crossed their hands devoutly over their chests, as if they were praying for something!

Carolyn stared blankly at everything happening around her. At this moment, her mind was completely empty, and she was somewhat confused about what was

going on. On the other side, due to the time difference, it was still nighttime on Promise Island. Two hover cars continued to move forward in the darkness.

Throughout the journey, there were some surprises but no real dangers. Triston and Kristian took turns driving the hover car, while Gerald caught some sleep in the vehicle. Of course, most of the time, it was

a state of being half-asleep and half-awake, as after all, in this Misty Mound Forest, danger could be encountered at any moment.

Perhaps it was because Promise Group’s research facility had been unearthed, causing a large number of beasts and mutants to flock to that place. As a result, Gerald and his companions found themselves in a much safer situation. Apart from encountering beasts twice before, the rest of their journey was relatively smooth! At daybreak, they had already reached the edge of Misty Mound Forest.

The journey went quite smoothly. After leaving Misty Mound Forest, Xavier really did let go of the guy from yesterday. This made Gerald slightly surprised, as Xavier now seemed to have a gentlemanly demeanor in his style.

After leaving Misty Mound Forest, the group took a temporary break, setting up camp nearby to eat some dry rations and drink some water. Xavier approached Gerald and said, “We’ve left Misty Mound Forest, but there’s still dangerous place ahead on our way to the Archaic Tribe’s base, Mount Arctic. That area is even more complex than Misty Mound Forest, and our hover car will have to move at a slower pace.”

“No worries,” Gerald said with a smile, “We just need to take it slow. As long as we don’t encounter any mutants at the eternal level of Flame Decay, we should be able to get through smoothly.”

“Right!” Xavier said, “But we still need to be cautious. Many plants and animals in Mount Arctic contain deadly toxins, which are difficult to treat once encountered. There are also things like poisonous barriers.”

At this point, he chuckled and said, “I really wonder what kind of things the Promise Group cultivated back in the day.” “How come it feels like everything they cultivate is either poisonous or some kind of mutated fierce beast?” Triston said, at a loss for words.

“Well, that’s not entirely true,” Xavier said. “On Mount Arctic, there are also many medicinal herbs that have been cultivated and play a significant role in medicine. Promise Island is indeed full of dangers, but at the same time, it is also filled with treasures.” Gerald nodded and asked, “How long does it take to get to Mount Arctic?”

“Going this way should be relatively safe, and without any unexpected incidents, it should take about half a day,” Xavier said. “Also…”

“Although we haven’t been followed for now, Micah knows that you’re heading to the Archaic Tribe base. He and Nolan will most likely choose to go all out and catch up with us, blocking our path on the way to the Archaic Tribe base,” Xavier said to Gerald. Gerald nodded and said, “Let’s deal with it when we come across it!” “Alright, let’s hurry up, grab a bite to eat, and get going. We’ll try to stay ahead of them,” Xavier said.
