At a certain point Han Yu crossed a mountainous region called the Hollow Spine Range.
The mountains there resembled gigantic rib bones protruding from the earth similar to the sect. Violent winds constantly screamed through the stone valleys, creating eerie whistling noises that sounded like human cries.
That region had forced Han Yu to travel carefully.
The Hollow Spine Range was infamous for spirit beasts that hunted through sound.
Several times he sensed creatures following him beneath the cliffs while remaining hidden underground.
He avoided confrontation whenever possible.
Though avoidance eventually stopped being an option.
The second month of travel became far more dangerous.
Han Yu entered territories where even Nascent Soul realm cultivators rarely ventured alone. Entire regions were occupied by powerful beasts that treated humans as prey. One particularly troublesome incident almost forced Han Yu to reveal more strength than he wished.
