Chapter 232: Get Your A*s Out Here!
Shennongjia, named after the legendary God of Agriculture, Shennong, was more commonly known as Mt Shen Nong, Southern Mountain, Mountain of Bears, Celestial Dragon Mountain, or Shenlongjia, etc .
The scenery here was breathtaking and captivating, and contained next to no evidence of human activity . All kinds of rare and precious plants and animals could be seen here, flourishing in this untouched environment .
The earliest name Shennongjia was known by was 'Mountain of Bears' . A passage in the "Classic of the Mountains and Seas: Cloud" states that: Another 150 li East, there lies the Yang Bear Mountain . The mountain is home to many caves, with the Cave of Bears at its heart . Divine beings could often be seen coming and going freely . The mountain is active all summer, but sleeps the cold of the winter away . It is the Mountain of Bears which abounds with Emperors . "
Many scholars deduced that the Mountain of Bears in the Classic of the Mountains and Seas was Shennongjia, which they based on the description, geography and position depicted in the ancient book .
These few days, many people noticed that there was an odd increase in the number of people entering Shennongjia . Helicopters could be seen flying passing over their heads, heading into the deepest portions of Shennongjia from time to time . Although nobody could guess what was going on inside, everyone was filled with curiosity .
Some people speculated confidently that traces of a group of savages had been discovered living in Shennongjia . Others swore that precious treasures had been unearthed within .
But no matter how rave the discussions were, not many people dared to venture into the deepest parts of Shennongjia . For regular people, the road to the heart of Shennongjia was equivalent to a road of death!
Only the most seasoned herb pickers of the land dared to go deep into the mountains . And even so, they needed to make ample preparations for every situation . Even minor things like the weather changes in the mountains needed to be taken into consideration!
Bei Feng and the rest finally reached the airport after a long ride . Without stopping for a rest, they boarded a helicopter which had been prepared for them and took off for the deep regions of Shennongjia . After flying the route for a long time, the pilot already understood the safest path in .
At this moment, at a particular spot in front of a tall mountain cliff, there was a multitude of martial practitioners gathered together . The strength of these people ranged from Esteemed Xiantian Lords to Dark Jing experts . All of them had arrived with only one goal—the resources of the Lido Ghost City!
Situated right before the cliff was a stone stele, which looked somewhat out of place . At this moment, it was sinking into the ground at a rate which would not be noticed unless one was looking at it intently . The day it sank into the ground fully would be the day that the Lido Ghost City opened!
"Lord Mitsui, for this excursion into the Ghost City with our Japanese martial practitioners, you do not need to bother about the other resources . We just need you to obtain that item with all your might!"
A group of people who were dressed like the local Chinese were gathered together, whispering in low voices .
"Understood!" The group of men grabbed the katanas by their sides and answered in unison .
The other experts nearby also turned around with frowns apparent on their faces . Why were these people here as well?
But no matter how displeased these experts were, they could not help but to furrow their brows darkly as they looked at their opponent's strength . Counting the number of Evolved Jing experts alone, there were at least fifty of them . This was a a formidable lineup which was not easy to deal with .
The two leading them were even more unfathomable, but one thing was certain from the way the Evolved Jing masters were so respectful of them—they were no weaklings .
"Those foreigners actually dared to come here? Aren't they afraid of being surrounded and attacked?" a Dark Jing expert mumbled .
"Don't be an idiot . Those foreigners are not weak either . Even if they can win, those big clans will suffer heavy losses on their side as well . Who would be willing to take on this kind of arduous and thankless task?" another Dark Jing expert chirped . None of the influential powers here had the ability to suppress the foreigners alone . For them to ally themselves with another influential power to deal with the foreigners was an even harder task .
Unless they were pushed into a dead end, or the foreigners seized an item that interested them as well, no one would willingly go and provoke that bunch of katana-wielding madmen .
A helicopter flew over their heads noisily, causing everyone to look upwards instinctively . Nobody paid much attention to it apart from sparing it a single glance . The closer the date of the Ghost City opening became, the more people would arrive .
Before the helicopter had landed, Bei Feng directly leapt off it from a height of over ten meters .
Seeing the sea of people gathered here, he was slightly taken aback . 'There's so many people trying to enter the Lido Ghost City?'
But thinking from another angle, perhaps most of the people were only here to experience the hype and witness the Lido Ghost City opening .
