After burning the body of the Splitting Wind Wolf, Wang Tiezhu and the other four took a short rest on the spot, adjusted their condition, and then set off on the road deep into the central mountain forest.
Two days later, in a dense forest, the four of them were holding spiritual swords and standing next to a huge snake corpse that had its belly disemboweled. Their clothes were broken, and there were still blood stains on the corners of their mouths.
If you look carefully at the surrounding trees, a large area has fallen down, and it is obvious that there has been a fierce battle before.
However, there was no joy of victory on their faces at all. Instead, they looked sad, as if they had seen something strange.
Wang Tiezhu looked at the giant snake corpse on the ground and shook his head slightly, "There is still no demon pill."
Zhang Tingruo squatted down, moved the snake corpse with his spiritual sword, and said slowly: "And it's just like the cracking wind wolf that he encountered before. His true strength exceeds his own realm. It's really bizarre!"
"What exactly happened in this mountain forest, and why did such a strange monster appear?"
Ye Huanxi's eyebrows were furrowed and her face was tense. Liu Weizhi also had the same expression.
At this moment, several figures walked out of the woods not far away, wearing the same clothes as Wang Tiezhu and others. They couldn't help but be startled when they saw the snake corpse on the ground. Then a man walked out, raised his hands to them and said
.
"I'm at Chengyu Peak Kong Yulou, who are you?"
When Wang Tiezhu and others saw that they were disciples of our sect, they also put away their spiritual swords and stepped forward to return the favor.
"I am Wang Tiezhu of Que Yufeng, these are Junior Brother Zhang Tingruo from Qi Yufeng, Junior Sisters Ye Huanxi and Junior Sister Liu Weizhi from Zhan Yufeng."
Among the new disciples, since Wang Tiezhu is the head disciple, he has the highest status. When meeting all the new disciples, he can call himself "senior brother".
Other disciples from different peaks are arranged according to the rank of their master.
Like Zhang Tingruo, who worships under the second elder's high hanging door, he is Wang Tiezhu's junior brother.
According to this arrangement, Ye Huanxi and Liu Weizhi have the lowest status. Everyone they meet calls them senior brother and sister, especially Liu Weizhi. As Zhan Yufeng's junior sister, no one calls her senior sister.
Hearing Wang Tiezhu's words, Kong Yulou and the people behind him were shocked, and said quickly: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Zhang. I was blind and couldn't recognize them for a while. Please forgive me!"
Wang Tiezhu and others smiled and didn't care.
"Junior Brother Kong, why are you here?"
"Back to senior brother, these junior brothers and sisters and I formed a small team and were looking for traces of the Demon Sect monks around us. When we heard the sound of fighting here, we thought we would come over and have a look. If our fellow sect members were in trouble, we could help them.
I didn’t expect that it would be my senior brothers and sisters who were hunting monster beasts again.”
After Kong Yulou finished speaking, he looked down at the corpse of the giant snake on the ground and said with emotion: "This should be the Kuimu Snake of the Extreme Realm! I didn't expect that several senior brothers and sisters were so skilled in their skills. They could even attack the monsters of the Extreme Realm."
Behead!"
Wang Tiezhu's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said, "Didn't my junior fellow apprentices encounter any monsters on the way?"
Kong Yulou was seen shaking his head repeatedly.
"No, we just arrived here not long ago, and we didn't encounter any monsters. We did see some fellow disciples fighting monsters on the way. However, those monsters were not at a high level. We hunted this extremely real monster with our senior brothers.
It’s nothing in comparison.”
"oh?"
Wang Tiezhu narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and continued to ask: "Have you ever heard anything strange from those fellow disciples? For example, the monsters you fought against were too strong, or there was something strange about the monsters themselves.
?”
Kong Yulou looked puzzled, "Those monsters cannot reach the highest level of Jade Realm. They are not a threat under the siege of their fellow sects. Why do you say this, senior brother?"
Wang Tiezhu and others looked at each other, and then told them about the situation of his group's encounter with the Splitting Wind Wolf and Kuimu Snake.
After hearing their descriptions, Kong Yulou could not hide the shock and surprise on his face.
"What?! Are you saying that these monsters can still survive without demon pills, and their strength far exceeds theirs?"
Wang Tiezhu nodded seriously, "The strength of these monsters without demon pills is about half a small realm higher than the superficial realm, but they are extremely ferocious, as if they are going crazy."
Hearing this, Kong Yulou frowned. This was the first time he had seen such a strange thing, and he couldn't figure out the reason even after thinking about it.
"But so far, these monsters only appear in the central mountain forest. We have not encountered them in the periphery. Junior brother, you should be more careful next time. When you encounter monsters above the Yuzhen realm, you must not show off your strength. Quickly
It’s best to run away quickly!”
Kong Yulou and the others nodded heavily. Their cultivation level was not as good as that of Wang Tiezhu and the others. They were not capable of killing these weird monsters, so naturally they would not show off.
"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding us! We have taken note of it!"
Afterwards, the two teams exchanged information about the demon cultivators. After learning that Wang Tiezhu's team only had one point, Kong Yulou and others showed surprised expressions.
"Senior Brother Wang, how come you only have a few points? There are many low-level demon cultivators outside!"
"Peripheral?!"
Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu looked embarrassed. This was different from what they expected!
"Yes! We have been active in the periphery for a long time, and now everyone has seven or eight points. We originally wanted to continue looking for magic cultivators in the periphery, but there were too many fellow sects in the periphery and the competition was too fierce, so we chose to go deeper here.
"
"That's how it is?!"
Wang Tiezhu had a look of regret on his face. He never expected that the Demonic Cultivator would forget to run outside. He recalled the three demonic cultivators that he and others had encountered before. The last direction of the Demonic Cultivator's escape seemed to be also on the periphery?
"Hey! Forget it, we've already come here. If we choose to return at this time, it will take several more days. It's really not worth it. Let's search carefully in the central forest!"
Kong Yulou nodded, exchanged a few words with each other, then said goodbye and hid in the forest with his group of people.
Wang Tiezhu turned around and looked at the other three people, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry everyone, I made a mistake and delayed you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Huanxi's voice.
"Senior Brother Wang, there is no need to be like this. When we first chose to enter the central mountain forest directly, the four of us decided unanimously. Moreover, this time is also focused on sharpening our will. We must not be short of those rewards. Even the Heart Sword Pill will be used in the future.
There is also a chance to get it, so please don’t blame yourself!”
Zhang Tingruo quickly echoed and expressed the same idea, and even Liu Weizhi, who never liked to talk, spoke out to comfort him.
Seeing that several people had such thoughts, Wang Tiezhu thought that it would be a bit artificial if he blamed himself any more, so he straightened his mind and said seriously: "In this case, let's explore and hone our skills in the central mountain forest.
