The beast cave is not big, but it is enough for Ji Tianxing to enter smoothly.
The cave was as dark as ink, but the ground and cave walls were dry, with only a fishy smell permeating the air.
Ji Tianxing endured the unpleasant smell and dived deep underground along the winding beast cave.
The little black dragon consciously shrank its body, becoming only two meters long, and opened a path in front of him to explore the situation.
About half a quarter of an hour later, Ji Tianxing and the little black dragon walked several hundred steps along the beast cave and finally entered the depths of the beast cave.
Deep in the beast cave is a cave with a radius of more than 20 meters.
This cave is naturally formed and there is no trace of artificial carving.
The ground is covered with jagged and strange rocks, and there are some natural ores on the surrounding cave walls, emitting a dim shimmer.
The heaven and earth in the cave are full of spiritual energy, and the flowers, plants and shrubs growing out of the cracks in the rocks are also medicinal materials with great efficacy.
Seeing the environment in the cave, Ji Tianxing became more and more certain that this was definitely a cave inhabited by spiritual beasts.
After all, spiritual beasts are more intelligent than demonic beasts, and they like to live in the spiritual treasure land and occupy a place with abundant spiritual energy.
When Ji Tianxing was surveying the situation in the cave, the little black dragon was already circling and flying in the cave to detect the situation in advance.
Suddenly, it let out a deep dragon roar, and its body returned to five meters in length. A dazzling cold light erupted from its entire body, and it rushed towards the stone in the corner of the cave.
"hold head high!"
The sound of the dragon's roar echoed in the cave, waking up Ji Tianxing.
He suddenly turned his head and looked around, and saw among the stone piles in the corner of the cave, a two-meter-tall tall ape that looked like a black bear.
The coat of arms was flaming red, and its arms were extremely long, thick and powerful.
It was originally hiding in a stone pile, but after being discovered by the little black dragon, it tried to escape quietly.
The little black dragon roared and pounced on it. The ape was frightened and panicked. He immediately jumped out of the stone and fled towards the cave exit with all his strength.
However, the Ape's speed was too slow and it couldn't escape the attack of the little black dragon.
"Bang!"
With a loud and dull sound, the little black dragon's claws hit the Ape hard, sending it flying back and hitting the rock cave wall hard.
The pile of jagged rocks was actually smashed into pieces by the dragon's claws, and countless gravel fragments flew out.
A loud noise echoed in the cave, and Ji Tianxing hurried over.
When they arrived near Shi Lei, they discovered that the Brachia was lying in the ruins of stone debris, its body twisted and deformed, blood overflowing all over its body, and it was seriously injured.
Ji Tianxing frowned slightly and said to the little black dragon in a deep voice: "Little black dragon, don't be so impulsive. I finally found a spiritual beast, so don't beat it to death!"
The little black dragon had also come to his senses. A look of shame flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Old Ji, I'm sorry, I was afraid it would escape."
Ji Tianxing stared at the Ape for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, this Ape is only a second-level spiritual beast. Even if it is captured, there is no way to deal with it."
"Let's go, I'll keep looking."
He felt a little disappointed, so he left the cave with the little black dragon and continued to search in the mountains.
Before I knew it, another two hours had passed.
One night passed, and it was not until dawn that he found the breath of the second spiritual beast.
The entrance to this spiritual beast's cave is on a steep cliff and is blocked by several large rocks and bushes.
With the help of the little black dragon, Ji Tianxing landed on the cliff and got into the cave of the spiritual beast.
When he and the little black dragon entered the depths of the cave, they discovered that the spiritual beast in the cave was also a second-level spiritual beast.
However, this spiritual beast is a golden-crowned eagle, which flies as fast as an arrow, has sharp claws like knives, and is very aggressive.
When the little black dragon discovered it, he resisted and did not do anything.
The golden-crowned eagle, however, did not know what was good and what was good. In panic and anger, it attacked Ji Tianxing with all its strength.
The strength of the second-level spirit beast is only equivalent to that of a warrior at the seventh or eighth level of the True Yuan Realm, and is slightly stronger than the strength of the second-level monster beast.
This second-level golden-crowned eagle was no match for Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing just activated two sword beams, fought with the Golden Crown Eagle for two moves, and then killed it.
After killing the golden-crowned eagle, he frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "This is not the way to go. Even if I can use the psychic astrolabe to find the spirit beast, it will be a waste of time."
"Moreover, all I found are second-level spirit beasts, which do not meet the requirements of the Spirit Beast Hall at all."
The little black dragon looked at him doubtfully and asked: "Lao Ji, what are you going to do? Do we want to continue looking?"
Ji Tianxing thought for a moment, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.
"Yes! I have an idea!"
"I was studying formations in Tai'an Palace before. I had read the formation secrets from my predecessor, and I saw a kind of phantom formation in the book."
"This kind of phantom formation can release strong spiritual energy fluctuations, and can also imitate the movement and breath of spiritual beasts. It will definitely attract spiritual beasts to take the initiative."
"The phantom formation is equivalent to a hunting trap, but it is an advanced trap used to capture spiritual beasts. Only the strong and those who are proficient in formations will use this method."
"If I put the body of this golden-crowned eagle as bait in the formation, it will definitely attract a lot of spiritual beasts."
After hearing this, the little black dragon nodded seriously and said, "Old Ji, although I don't quite understand what you mean by the phantom formation, it sounds pretty powerful."
Afterwards, Ji Tianxing left the cave with the body of the golden-crowned eagle.
He found an open space on the top of the mountain and began to arrange the phantom array in the open space.
The Phantom Array is just a mid-level Xuan-level formation that only needs to occupy a ten-meter square area.
With Ji Tianxing's strength and formation skills, plus the help of the little black dragon, setting up this formation was of course a piece of cake.
After just three hours, Ji Tianxing successfully set up the Phantom Array.
This twenty-meter-wide open space seemed to be covered with weeds and there were several large millstones lying on it, but it was actually shrouded by the phantom array.
Ji Tianxing threw the body of the golden-crowned eagle on a large millstone, jumped up to a big tree not far away, and waited patiently.
The phantom spirit array began to operate, continuously emitting invisible spiritual energy fluctuations, spreading and spreading in all directions.
Moreover, the fluctuations in the power of the formation are very much like the breath of activity of spiritual beasts.
Ji Tianxing hid in the treetops of the big tree, trying his best to hide his aura and silently observing the movements around him.
About half an hour later, the effect of the Phantom Array finally appeared.
A golden-haired rat, as big as a dog, quietly came to the top of the mountain and approached the phantom formation very cautiously.
After Ji Tianxing saw the golden-haired rat clearly, he couldn't help but frowned, "Why is it another second-level spiritual beast?"
When the golden-haired rat was about to enter the phantom formation, Ji Tianxing jumped down from the tree and drove the golden-haired rat away.
He waited for another two hours, until late in the evening, when a second spiritual beast finally appeared.
It was a four-meter-long, snow-white tiger with a single golden horn on its forehead, and even its eyes were golden.
It exuded a powerful aura and approached the top of the mountain with a steady pace, heading towards the phantom formation.
When Ji Tianxing saw it, his eyes immediately gleamed, and he exclaimed in surprise: "It turns out to be a fourth-order spiritual beast! How great!"
