Some monsters in the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses are very sensitive to fluctuations in true energy. Once the true energy is activated, the monsters may be attracted.
This is also the reason why several elders did not use magic to blow away these fogs.
Once the fog is blown away, a large number of monsters will be attracted.
Originally, I thought that there were no monsters in this dense forest, and it would not be a big problem to just use a little bit of Qi to summon Elder Xifeng's soul.
But what surprised several elders was that there was actually a demonic beast entrenched in this dense forest.
tread!
tread!
tread……
Several elders almost held their breath, listening to the approaching footsteps of the monster beast.
Judging from the sound, the monster seemed to be very far away from them, at least two or three miles away.
A golden talisman appeared in Elder Dongyue's hand, and he said with a murderous intent in his eyes: "Brother Beichuan, how about we fight this monster?"
"Absolutely not!" Elder Beichuan was so frightened that he was afraid that Elder Dongyue would take action.
It is night now, and most of the monsters in the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses will choose to hunt at night. Once they are hunted, the fluctuations in true energy will definitely attract more monsters.
"Let's try not to make any noise and leave here quietly to meet up with the young master."
This dense forest is presumably a public area. As long as you can enter the territory of the bloodthirsty spider, it is considered safe.
But it's only a mile away, so it's not difficult to go back.
The other three looked at each other and then nodded.
"Okay, then do as Brother Beichuan said."
Immediately, the four of them tried their best to slow down their footsteps, hide their own aura, and return along the original path.
"Tap tap tap!"
But at this moment, several people heard the sound of rapid footsteps.
This monster seemed to have noticed the four people's intentions, and accelerated its pace and rushed towards them.
If Elder Beichuan and others were allowed to return to the territory of the bloodthirsty human-faced spider, there would be no chance.
"run!"
Elder Beichuan shouted without hesitation, and led the three people behind him to run desperately towards the cave of the bloodthirsty spider.
Without using true energy, it is impossible to outrun a monster with just two legs.
Not to mention that we still don’t know what kind of monster the other party is.
Even if the distance between the two sides is two or three miles, it is the same.
Swish——
Before the four elders ran far, a strong wind suddenly arose from behind, blowing away the nearby fog. The next second, a figure passed over the heads of several people, blocking the path of the Beichuan elders and others.
Under the strong wind, most of the surrounding fog dispersed, and several people took the opportunity to see clearly what this monster looked like.
This monster beast looks like an elk, and its body shape is not much different from that of an ordinary elk. There are two huge antlers on its head.
But it has a lion's face, a ring of brown mane around its neck, and a thick and powerful lion's tail swinging from side to side behind it.
Its eyes were as dark as night, and the pupils glowed with a sinister and fierce light, reflecting the figures of the four elders, making people shudder.
"This...this is...the lion elk beast..."
Elder Xifeng was suddenly startled, his pupils couldn't stop shaking, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.
The lion-elk beast is second only to the scorpion-tailed badger in terms of danger in the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses. This monster likes to suck the true energy of immortal cultivators and is also one of the monsters that likes to hunt at night.
Its eyes can clearly capture all movements even in pitch dark environments, and its speed is even more terrifying, as it can move several miles in the blink of an eye.
Once the lion elk beast captures the energy fluctuations at night, no one can escape from the opponent's grasp.
About a hundred years ago, there was a sect called the Burning Sky Sect, which devoted all its efforts to hunting lions and elk beasts. Even the sect leader went out to hunt the beasts himself.
In order to attract the lion and elk beasts, the Burning Heaven Sect generated zhenqi fluctuations in various places in the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses, thereby attracting the lion and elk beasts.
The final result was that the Burning Sky Sect was destroyed.
Although the Burning Heaven Sect is not the best among the sects and cannot be compared with the sects founded by the descendants of immortals, it is still a middle-to-lower sect in the God Realm.
The leader of his sect has reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal in strength. In addition, there are tens of thousands of sect disciples who will not all be buried in the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses.
If the leader of the Burning Sky Sect hadn't sent his descendants out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses with his life, no one would have dared to believe all of this.
At that time, the deeds of the Burning Sky Sect caused an uproar among the sect, resulting in no one setting foot in the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses for a long time.
It was only later that the news gradually faded away, and only then did people gradually set foot in the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses again.
It seems that since then, no one has encountered this lion and elk beast again.
Elder Xifeng couldn't believe that a monster from more than a hundred years ago would actually be encountered by him.
If I had known before I went out, I should have checked with my fingers whether I would be in conflict with the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses.
Otherwise, why would I encounter three demon dogs as soon as I entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses, and then a bloodthirsty human-faced spider?
Now we have even met the lion and elk beasts from more than a hundred years ago.
If I had known that this operation was so dangerous, I would not have done it even if I was beaten to death.
Elder Beichuan showed a look of fear when he heard this, pointed at the monster in front of him and asked: "Brother Xifeng, are you sure the monster in front of you is a lion or elk?"
Elder Beichuan just couldn't believe that the monster in front of him was not as tall as a bloodthirsty human-faced spider, but was actually the legendary lion-elk beast.
Elder Xifeng nodded firmly, his eyes fixed on the lion and elk beast in front of him.
"That's right, I visited the young sect leader of the Burning Sky Sect before he passed away. There was a scroll placed in his home, and that was what was painted in the scroll. The young sect leader told me personally that the one in the scroll was the lion and elk that wiped out his entire family.
beast!"
"Why does this lion-elk beast appear here? Hasn't it disappeared for more than a hundred years?"
Elder Nansen was obviously a little panicked, and his pupils began to tremble uncontrollably.
The monster in front of them had destroyed an entire sect. No matter how much Elder Nansen believed in himself, he still didn't think that the four of them could defeat the lion-elk beast in front of them.
"You ask me how I know, now I only have a chance to survive by trying my best!"
As he spoke, Elder Xifeng took out the needle pack in his arms and prepared for battle.
The lion-elk beast in front of him seemed not to pay attention to the four elders at all.
The four people on the other side were conspiring loudly and blatantly in front of them. The lion-elk beast acted as if nothing had happened. It twitched its pointed ears twice and stared at the four people in front of it with its eyes.
It seemed as if they were waiting for the four elders Beichuan to take action.
"This beast!"
Seeing that the other party was provoking him, Elder Xifeng became furious. He pinched the silver needle between his fingers and said with murderous intent: "Today I will let you, a beast, taste my golden needle technique!"
After the words fell, Elder Xifeng was surrounded by a vast amount of true energy, and the silver needles between his fingers glowed with a faint golden light.
"Golden Needle Technique?"
There was a glimmer of hope in Elder Beichuan's eyes.
The spell that Elder Xifeng wanted to study even when he was obsessed with it was the golden needle technique.
The Golden Needle Technique concentrates the caster's own true energy into the silver needle, forming an extremely sharp air blade on the surface of the silver needle.
This air blade is much sharper than a magic weapon forged from fine iron.
Originally, Elder Xifeng planned to use this golden needle technique to deal with the spider king of the bloodthirsty human-faced spider. If Elder Beichuan had not stopped him, he would have shot the spider king through the body.
Now, Elder Beichuan doesn't intend to stop him anymore.
After all, the four of them were in danger now, and they pointed out that Elder Xifeng's unique skills could help them escape.
Swish, swish, swish!
Elder Xifeng waved his hand, and the silver needle in his hand turned into more than a dozen golden lights and shot towards the lion and elk beast.
The other three elders stared at the golden light with hopeful eyes.
The lion-elk beast narrowed its dark eyes, and dozens of golden lights were reflected in them. It blew out a puff of mist from its nose, seeming to be very disdainful.
Seeing that the golden needle was about to reach within ten centimeters of the radius of the lion-elk beast, the opponent's pupils suddenly widened and an ink-colored mist emitted from his body.
In an instant, a translucent black shield appeared in front of the opponent.
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of golden needles fell on the black shield, making a crisp sound, the golden light dissipated, and the silver needles fell at his feet.
"???"
"!!!"
"..."
When the four elders saw this scene, they were stunned on the spot, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Among them, Elder Xifeng was the most shocked. His pupils couldn't stop shaking and he almost stumbled to the ground.
Fortunately, Elder Beichuan had quick eyesight and quick hands to support the other party.
"This is impossible...this is impossible..."
Elder Xifeng lowered his head with dull eyes, shaking his head frequently and unwilling to accept the facts.
In order to practice this golden needle technique, Elder Xifeng did not hesitate to go crazy and spent most of his life. In the end, even the shield cast by a monster beast could not penetrate. This was unacceptable to Elder Xifeng.
"Brother Xifeng, your golden needle technique has always been the trump card among the four of us, but this lion and elk beast is indeed as difficult to deal with as rumored. Otherwise, how could it be regarded as one of the most dangerous monsters in the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses?"
"Now is not the time to be discouraged, we still need you to use the Sword Rain Formation."
"YoYo--"
At this moment, the lion elk beast let out a roar and moved the two ears on its head, as if provoking the four opponents.
Hearing the sound, Elder Xifeng raised his head and looked at the opponent's provocative actions. His fighting spirit was suddenly aroused. After getting up from Elder Beichuan's arms, his eyes stared at the monster in front of him with endless anger.
"Brother Beichuan is right. The four of us are also elders of the Jiugong Sect after all. We can still humiliate a beast today. Let this beast see the power of the four of us brothers working together!"
After the words fell, a talisman appeared on Elder Xifeng's fingertips, his eyes extremely firm.
The Sword Rain Formation is a very powerful sword formation. Once its true energy fluctuations are activated, it will definitely attract other monsters in the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses.
But now, the four elders don't care so much anymore.
Whether it attracts other monsters or beasts, this dense forest is a public area of the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses, and it might even attract a group of monsters to kill each other.
Elder Beichuan: "The cloud seal script is too empty, the beginning of the catastrophe."
Elder Xifeng: "It's far and wide, sometimes it sinks or it floats."
Elder Dongyue: "Wandering in five directions, there is more than one foot."
Elder Nansen: "A naive emperor, according to the pen, is a book."
The four people chanted in unison: "Move the seal with your eyes, and the number of times is the magic talisman; the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty descends, and the true text is born! The urgency is like a law!"
The moment the words fell, a strong wind surrounded the four people, the talismans on their fingertips were burned, and tens of thousands of sword lights lit up in the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.
This time, the four elders used all their remaining energy on this formation in order to kill the lion and elk beast before other monsters arrived.
There was a gloomy coldness in Elder Beichuan's eyes, and he stared sharply at the lion and elk beast in front of him: "Beast, suffer death!"
As soon as the words fell, thousands of sword lights in the sky fell like sword rain.
At the same time, outside the dense forest.
Tuoba Qingyao was the first to notice the sword light in the sky, pointed to the sky and exclaimed: "Look!"
"Isn't this the Sword Rain Formation of the four elders?" Jiang Gongchen frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Seeing this sword rain formation means that the three elders have found Elder Xifeng.
But the sword rain formation also showed that the four elders were in danger in the dense forest.
This was the first time since Jiang Gongchen was born that he had seen such a powerful sword rain formation.
This also means that the monsters the four elders encountered were not simple.
Tuoba Fuyao looked at the mist in the dense forest, with a pair of beautiful willow eyebrows twisted into a twine.
"I gonna go see!"
"Hey! Fuyao..."
Before Jiang Gongchen could finish speaking, Tuoba Fuyao dropped the four words and plunged into the dense forest.
Seeing Tuoba Fuyao rushing in, Tuoba Qingyao didn't care about anything and directly chased after him.
"Let's go take a look too."
Seeing the two sisters' desperate efforts, Qin Tian and Fang Zitong also chased after them.
"you……"
Jiang Gongchen watched everyone around him plunge into the dense forest one by one like gourd babies, and for a moment he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
Judging from the current situation, it is safest to stay in the bloodthirsty spider's territory.
If you enter this dense forest, you will most likely not be able to get out.
But when he thought that Tuoba Fuyao and Qin Tian had gone in, Jiang Gongchen gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of those in the Return to Void Realm. What do I have to be afraid of, young master!"
Finally, Jiang Gongchen also followed the others' pace and caught up.
Following the sword light in the sky, they would not lose their way even in the fog, and the group quickly arrived at the scene.
When she saw the scene in front of her, Tuoba Qingyao's eyes widened at first, and she covered her mouth in disbelief, her pupils trembling uncontrollably.
The four elders had disheveled hair and looked embarrassed. Their bodies were covered with countless blood stains. They were breathing heavily, their expressions were listless, and their breath was extremely weak.
Opposite the four elders, there was a demonic beast with the body of a deer and the head of a lion. It was surrounded by dense sword marks left by the sword light, all of which were within ten centimeters of the demonic beast.
"What...what happened?" Tuoba Qingyao asked with a confused look on her face.
Not only Tuoba Qingyao wanted to know, Jiang Gongchen and others also wanted to know what happened in the middle.
Everyone present has seen the sword rain formation of the four elders.
The bloodthirsty human-faced spider king fell to the ground before being exposed to the rain of swords for even a moment, which shows how terrifying the power of the rain of swords is.
Not to mention that the current power of the Sword Rain Formation is several times that of the previous one.
