The long team trekked through the dense mountain forest.
Ahead, there are steep and steep mountains, one after another, with no end in sight.
In the depths of the Yulong Mountains, there are no existing roads for passage. The abundant spiritual energy in the mountains makes vegetation grow very quickly, and the trails trampled by wild beasts will disappear after just one rain.
Therefore, the ferryman leading the way had to use magical weapons to open a passage in the dense forest.
When his mana is exhausted, his companions take over.
It was already the twenty-third day into the mountain, and the journey that was about to be completed according to the plan was still halfway through.
This is also something that cannot be done.
Not only did this team lose nearly forty members, but more than half of Zhenshanxi, who was responsible for traveling, suffered casualties.
Most importantly, the second half of the trip is the most difficult and dangerous.
In order to ensure safety, the ferryman leading the team can only slow down to avoid making the same mistake again.
However, as a result, the atmosphere in the team showed no signs of improvement for several days.
Many people have tired and irritable looks on their faces.
For powerful monks, the hardships of the journey are nothing. Traveling thousands of miles is easy. The main reason is that the mental pressure is too great.
After that battle, the team was on full alert for the slightest movement.
I'm afraid that the big demon will come back.
As time went by, even the Zifu monks could not remain calm.
The road ahead seems to be endless!
Everyone was in a bad mood, and Wang Chen became the one to take the blame.
The reason is very simple. While everyone is suffering, Wang Chen is enjoying all the blessings. The most outstanding female cultivator in the team has become a Taoist couple with him. The two of them ride a mountain rhinoceros together, as close as a newlywed couple.
How can you not make people envious and jealous!
And Wang Chen is also used to the hostile looks that fall on him from time to time.
Feeling bored, he simply fell to the back of the team.
Anyway, we parted ways after passing the Yulong Mountains, so there was no need to have a good relationship with these people.
The ragtag group of people who originally signed up for support could not count on others' sincere help when it came to a life-or-death situation.
Wang Chen is ready to fly solo.
If he is attacked by a big demon next time, he must save his life first!
At most, if you have enough energy, you can run with Li Yian in your arms.
One night and a hundred nights of grace, although they are half-way couples, as Wang Chen's first woman after his rebirth, it is undoubtedly impossible to say that he has no feelings.
Even if Li Yian took the initiative to get close to Wang Chen in order to break through the bottleneck, he also received great benefits.
Wang Chen even thought about becoming a true Taoist companion with the other party.
But Li Yian obviously had no such intention.
She told Wang Chen that she was a lotus girl trained by a certain sect. She had been practicing the "Secret Technique of Suyin Huanzhen Harmony" since she was a child, maintaining a pure yin body until she broke through and opened her body, and then served as a training cauldron for elders.
Use it to break through bottlenecks.
Or it can be given as a gift to the senior officials of other sects to enjoy.
However, Li Yi'an was not willing to be reduced to a furnace. After being promoted to the Zifu, she found a good opportunity to sneak out of the mountain gate, ran to Feixian City and headed to the West Sea Spiritual Domain, and then gained the freedom she dreamed of.
No matter how powerful Li Yian's sect is, it has no influence in the West Sea Spiritual Domain.
At the same time, she also knows very well that true freedom requires strong power to achieve.
Therefore, Wang Chen, who has a pure Yang body, was chosen as a half-way Taoist companion.
"You're getting an advantage!"
After a certain double cultivation, Li Yian said to Wang Chen with a bright face: "You will know how much benefit you have gained in the future!"
Thinking of this, Wang Chen gently hugged the waist of the beautiful woman in his arms.
Li Yian turned around, his eyes filled with emotion.
"Tiger Temple is here!"
At this moment, the ferryman's voice came from ahead.
With a hint of relieved joy.
After passing through dense woods, an open valley appeared in front of the team.
Above the valley, a huge temple stands impressively.
This temple has obviously been abandoned for a long time. Green vines cover the mottled walls, and most of the buildings are covered by tall trees, but the cornices and brackets can still be seen.
After trekking such a long distance in the boundless Yulong Mountain, usually camping in the wild, it is undoubtedly a very surprising thing to suddenly see the creations of civilization.
The ferryman told everyone that after arriving at the Tiger Temple, there are only five days left to the West Sea Spiritual Realm.
Everyone rests here for a day, and then continues on the road to the West Sea Spiritual Territory!
After the ferryman's announcement, the team's morale increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Many monks showed happy smiles.
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as you can get out of Yulong Mountain alive, it is success and victory.
A team of more than a hundred mountain rhinoceros filed in through the main entrance of the cave-open Tiger Temple.
Three ferrymen with cultivation base from Zi Mansion have already started searching inside.
Make sure no danger exists.
This temple covers a large area and is divided into the front hall, the main hall and the back hall, as well as many side halls and wing rooms.
Not to mention a mere two hundred monks, even ten times as many people can easily accommodate it.
It's just that no one maintains and cleans the temple, so it's overgrown with weeds and fallen leaves, making it look particularly desolate.
The three ferrymen quickly completed the search.
Except for some foxes and hares that live in the temple, there are no demons.
Everyone put away the Mountain Rhinoceros in their spirit animal bags, and then set up camp in the main hall of the Tiger Temple.
This is also the ferryman's request.
Although there are many places for people to live in this temple, as long as they don't leave the Yulong Mountains, dangers are everywhere, and they cannot be separated for safety.
The main hall is more than ten feet high, very spacious inside, and houses a stone statue of a tiger.
The tiger is a tiger, and only tigers at the demon king level can bear this name.
In this world, Huang Tian and Hou Tu are the main sacrifices, and the rest are wild sacrifices and obscene sacrifices.
This Tiger Temple is a typical wild sacrifice. It was built in Yulong Mountain for some unknown reason, and it is so large!
The three ferrymen began to set up a temporary defensive array.
The thick dust on the ground was first cleared away, and then the eight-sided formation disks were placed around the main hall.
When the light of the magic circle spread evenly throughout the main hall, the monks truly relaxed.
Some took out tents and set up tents, some gathered in small groups to chat, and some set up fires.
The atmosphere became heated.
Wang Chen also took out his own clam tent, charcoal stove hot pot, etc.
It's getting dark soon, and it's just time to prepare dinner.
Li Yian was not idle either and helped him prepare.
The two of them work together so well that they actually feel a bit like a couple.

I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy reunion between man and moon!
