"Last time we were nearby and found traces of the element-devouring beast, but now the traces have disappeared."
Huo Chunyan pressed the magic weapon in her hand, but couldn't sense anything, so she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Zhuge Yun also used a tracking technique, but when he saw that the technique didn't work, there was no surprise in his eyes.
"Nine days have passed since the last time I came here. After such a long time, the element-devouring beast has already run away. However, this place should not be far from its lair. However, the deeper you go, the higher the level of danger. Follow me closely.
"
After saying that, Zhuge Yun raised his steps and walked deeper.
However, he didn't go very far when he suddenly stopped and seemed to be listening to something.
There was a faint sound coming from the front.
"There seems to be someone fighting ahead, probably three or four miles ahead on the left."
Huo Chunyan holds the soul surveying plate in her hand. Not only can she detect changes in spiritual energy, but her sensitivity to sounds is also higher than others.
So after listening for a while, he accurately reported the location of the fight.
It's just that the level of her spirit plate is not high, so if the other party deliberately hides it, nothing can be detected.
Zhuge Yun prepared to take a detour without much thought. In this Windcrying Mountain, it is better to do less than to do more.
However, after walking only a mile, traces of the element-devouring beast were discovered again, and there were more than one.
At the same time, the faint sounds of fighting were heard more clearly.
"It's the element-devouring beast!"
Huo Chunyan showed a hint of excitement on her face, "In addition to the two groups of people fighting, there is also an element-devouring beast among them."
Zhuge Yun only hesitated for a moment before making his decision.
"Concentrate your breath and go take a look first!"
And the battle not far away has entered a fever pitch.
There were only two or three people left standing on both sides.
The originally huge Yuan-eating beast was now extremely miserable, with not a single piece of meat on its body, and it looked like it might die at any time.
Two groups of people were fighting fiercely, and no one noticed that several people were approaching quietly.
"The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits. They are fighting to the death here, and we can take advantage of it..."
A sneer escaped from the corner of Zhuge Yun's mouth, but before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed when he saw the appearance of the female cultivator who was fighting fiercely.
"Get ready to take action!"
After saying that, Zhuge Yun rushed over like an arrow from a string.
Just as he was about to take out his sword, he suddenly thought of something and took out an iron fan abruptly, killing the two people who were trembling with the female cultivator.
Zhuge Yun's movements were so fast that he even started to fight with others, and some of them were still unable to react.
Zhang Yu looked at Zhuge Yun, who was already standing in a group with others, and his mouth opened wide before he could close it.
"Didn't Senior Brother Zhuge explain before we came here that we would not be allowed to act rashly or do anything expediently?"
"Who knows what he's up to! Could it be that he saw that female nun being pretty and got interested in her?"
Huo Chunyan complained and followed behind Xu Chunniang to take action.
Zhao Xingsan's movements were also not slow. Hearing this, he subconsciously glanced at the female cultivator. He felt vaguely familiar, but he also knew that he definitely did not know this person.
After all, if you had seen a female cultivator with such power and outstanding appearance, you would definitely be impressed by her.
With Zhuge Yun and his men joining in, the originally even battle quickly became one-sided.
Seeing that the victory was decided, the opponent's last remaining foundation-building cultivator suddenly broke free from Zhuge Yun's blockade and rushed towards the beautiful cultivator with a ferocious smile.
"If you want me to die, I'll bury someone with you!"
As he spoke, he began to self-destruct without hesitation.
Zhuge Yun's expression changed greatly, and he was about to stop him when he saw the female cultivator suddenly disappear from where she was. At the same time, the dying element-devouring beast appeared where she originally stood.
And her body shape changed to where the element-devouring beast was.
The monk did not expect such a change, and his expression changed drastically, but his self-destruction had already begun and he could not stop at all.
Just hearing a "bang", the element-devouring beast endured endless aftermath and was blown to pieces in the self-destruction...
Simply when this monk showed signs of self-destruction, others stayed away from him, so his self-destruction did not affect others.
But causing such a big commotion in the depths of Fengcrying Mountain may attract the prying eyes of others.
Zhuge Yun's mind was racing, but he looked towards the beautiful Xiu who was in the late stage of foundation building.
"Junior sister Xue'er, are you okay?"
Junior sister Xueer?
Several people looked at each other and had a guess in their minds.
Could it be that this powerful and beautiful female cultivator is Shangguan Xue?
A cold voice sounded, confirming their suspicion.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhuge, for taking the initiative this time, but you'd better call me Shangguan Xue."
The smile at the corner of Zhuge Yun's mouth froze slightly, "Junior sister Shangguan said that, it's too unreasonable..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"Senior Brother Zhuge, are you sure you want to chat with me here?"
Shangguan Xue frowned slightly and scanned the mess everywhere without leaving a trace. The monk's self-destruction just now caused a huge commotion, so he had to move as soon as possible.
Zhuge Yun finally stopped speaking.
And Shangguan Xue let out a breath of turbid air, feeling extremely depressed in her heart.
This time, as the team leader, she brought out four juniors, one of whom died and one was seriously injured. Two other juniors, including herself, were also seriously injured.
The element-devouring beast that was finally hunted was destroyed by someone...
A trace of determination flashed in her eyes, she must leave Fengwei Mountain as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, she thanked Zhuge Yun and his party again, gave pills to the two disciples, and left directly with the seriously injured disciple.
Zhuge Yun saw Shangguan Xue's plan and saw that she had no intention of asking for help, so he couldn't help but follow her.
"Xue...Junior sister Shangguan, we are from the same sect, and it is our duty to take care of each other. You'd better let me go with you."
Shangguan Xue's expression remained unchanged, "You haven't completed your mission yet, aren't you going to kill the Yuan-devouring beast?"
Zhuge Yun glanced at Shangguan Xue's profile and said almost without thinking.
"The element-devouring beast can be killed at any time, but now that junior sister is injured, I don't trust you. What if we encounter any danger again on the way back?"
Shangguan Xue frowned slightly, but without saying anything else, she silently let Zhuge Yun go with him.
Seeing Zhuge Yun wanting to stick to Senior Sister Shangguan's side, Huo Chunyan curled her lips angrily and sent a message to Xu Chunniang.
"Senior Brother Zhuge was so cold and impatient with us in the past, but now that he sees Senior Sister Shangguan, he doesn't even show any respect for her, and even puts aside the mission."
Xu Chunniang didn't know what to think about Zhuge Yun's approach.
In fact, due to both emotion and reason, it was right to escort Senior Sister Shangguan away from Fengcrying Mountain.
Huo Chunyan was still aggrieved, "Last time you were busy practicing and didn't make it to the mountain. He had a lot of opinions. But just now when Senior Sister Shangguan mentioned the mission, he looked disapproving."
