Because the air environment in the Southern Spiritual Realm is very poor, the overall appearance is yellow. However, there are large and small holes emitting gases of various colors everywhere on the ground, which makes the visibility extremely poor. Hao Yun and the others could not use their spiritual sense and could only rely on vision to distinguish. Therefore, it was not until the enemy's figure appeared near the magic circle that Hao Yun and the others finally saw the face of the enemy.
The figure of this enemy looked so petite, Hao Yun even wondered if he had been deceived by vision again. Before Hao Yun could ask, he heard Xing Yun shouting in surprise: "There are extinct cat beasts here!"
The cat beast in Xing Yun's words was standing in front of them now. This cat beast was short and stubby, only about a foot long. It was indeed a small body, covered with a thick layer of long purple-black hair. Especially the hair on the abdomen is more abundant, and it is dragged to the ground. The cat beast stared at them blankly with its two big round eyes, looking as if it was a little confused. It is now only one step away from the magic circle. If it is willing, it can step into the magic circle with a slight jump. Although the cat beast has no intelligence, as a beast that is good at hunting, it must have keen intuition. Therefore, it can sense that there is a huge difference between the environment in the magic circle and the environment in which it lives. It may be because of this that it There was no immediate attack.
"Hey, dear, I feel like this cat beast doesn't look like a crazy beast!" Hao Yun said.
"It certainly doesn't look like it." Everyone said in unison.
"Everyone must not let down our guard. If it is not crazy, it will be more difficult to deal with." Huo Kuang's reminder was immediately sent to everyone, "However, this guy does not look crazy. I guess he may be from the Southern Spiritual Realm. On the periphery, the concentration of spiritual energy here is relatively low, so the impact on this monster is not too great."
Just when everyone thought Huo Kuang's guess was more reasonable, suddenly the doubts in the cat beast's eyes were wiped away, its two round eyes glowed red, and then the long hair on its body exploded, This makes the figure, which originally looked relatively petite, appear to have grown a lot under the influence of the fried hair. However, after all, the cat beast is only that big. No matter how big it is, it is still small to Hao Yun and the others. However, this cat beast, which does not look very threatening, suddenly makes a sound in its throat. The huge roar makes people think that there is a huge monster in front of them if they don't look at this cat beast.
"No, this guy's momentum has changed. Yao Li, you and I will use the protective space together. Others should not make unnecessary movements to prevent interference with us." Hao Yun immediately gave the order.
Hao Yun and Yao Li can use Dark Space together, and adding the two together can achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two. If others also release protective space, since they cannot be superimposed, mutual interference will occur. Therefore, what Hao Yun meant was to tell others not to act rashly, and let him and Yao Li release the dark space and wrap them all in it, so as to maximize their protective capabilities.
Wanwan and Xingyun were wrapped in the dark space, and the feeling was really uncomfortable. This is Hao Yun and Yao Li. If there is room for others to perform, Wanwan and Xingyun really don't dare to put themselves in it. In the battle between cultivators, there is always a trick, which is to use one's own space to surround the opponent, so as to achieve the final victory. Strictly speaking, the protective space is equivalent to an extension of the cultivator's body. People like Wanwan and Xingyun do not use any protection. Being in this space gives them the same feeling as if they were naked and exposed to others. The feeling in their mouths is the same. With one bite, they will be eaten cleanly. Especially when they are still in a dark space, dark spiritual power is extremely corrosive. Although Yao Li and Hao Yun have been very careful, these dark spiritual powers are wrapped around them, and the strong corrosiveness still stimulates their nerves. . In order not to interfere with the operation of the dark space, Wanwan and Xingyun could only grit their teeth and endure this difficult period silently.
The cat beast stopped roaring, then lowered its entire body, and jumped up with its short and thick hind legs. There was a loud bang, and the dark space used by Hao Yun and Yao Li collided with the small cat beast. Not only did it make a huge noise, but Hao Yun and Yao Li were forced to take a step back by the cat beast. The small size of the cat beast actually contains huge power. It is indeed an indigenous monster beast left over from ancient times, and its strength is astonishing. However, if the cat beast does this, it will
It was also uncomfortable, because its upper body collided with the dark space, and due to the corrosiveness of the dark spiritual power, its upper body, including the long hair on its head, suffered a lot of damage. The long hair turned into short hair. Moreover, it was corroded in pieces here and there, and the black mucus caused by the corrosion was still stuck to the fur, just like a lazy cat with a skin disease, looking very disgusting.
Hao Yun and Yao Li successfully received the attack of the cat beast, and through the attack power of the cat beast, they could roughly judge that the strength of the cat beast was not too powerful, which was roughly the level of the mid- to late-stage Mahayana. If the cat beast had not hidden its clumsiness, it would have been impossible to defeat Yao Li and Hao Yun with its strength, not to mention that they still had the little devil snake as a strong support.
Just after Hao Yun and Yao Li breathed a sigh of relief, the momentum of the forced cat beast changed again. It was obviously more angry. It was like a bass motor was running in its throat. The bass was The sound was transmitted along the ground into the magic circle, making everyone feel as if the ground was shaking.
"This guy is probably about to make a big move." Xing Yun quickly reminded from the side.
"Are you familiar with this stuff?" Hao Yun asked.
"This thing has been extinct for a long time. How can I be familiar with it? However, I have read records that say that cat beasts are good at changing their body shape. The bigger the size, the stronger the strength." She is a monster, and if she were not around, they would look even more darkly at these indigenous monsters.
Just as Xing Yun said, as the cat beast's throat began to vibrate, the cat beast's size gradually began to grow. Hao Yun observed more carefully, and he felt that the color of the external environment seemed to have become lighter.
"No, this guy should be absorbing the spiritual energy around him." Hao Yun shouted.
"Yes, I have discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy around me is decreasing. This is not a good thing. This causes the speed of our magic circle to convert spiritual energy to also decrease. I don't think it's going to work, so I'll use another trick quickly!" Huo Kuang's divine thought. We also promptly informed the outside world of the situation.
"Try again. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to escape." Hao Yun didn't want to think that the first battle in the Southern Spirit World would end in escape, which would hurt morale too much.
In front of Hao Yun and the others, the cat beast transformed from a kitten over a foot long into a giant beast several meters long and as tall as a person. Originally, the mane on the cat beast's upper body was corroded away, but after it grew in size, all the corroded mane of the cat beast was restored. This makes what should have been an ugly and ridiculous beast become majestic again. Due to its huge size and astonishing momentum, Hao Yun and the others felt frightened when they looked at the giant beast not far away in front of them.
"Is this guy still going to be tough?" Hao Yun asked Xing Yun.
"I don't know that. I told you I wasn't familiar with it." Xingyun replied weakly, because she felt like she was about to suffocate. For some reason, she felt powerless when she looked at this giant beast. , I feel like this cat beast is my natural enemy.
Soon after saying this, the cat beast launched another attack. This time it did not pounce directly, but showed its two big front paws and patted towards the magic circle. There were several bangs and bangs, and the cat beast's big paws came forward one after another, hitting the dark space randomly. This caused Hao Yun and Yao Li to retreat continuously. Fortunately, everyone kept acting in unison, which prevented the formation from collapsing.
"Hey, why doesn't the dark spiritual power work on its claws?" Hao Yun asked Yao Li.
Under normal circumstances, when the cat beast's claws come into contact with the dark space, Yao Li will naturally let the dark spiritual power corrode its claws. Just like the cat beast's first attack, the dark spiritual power is highly corrosive. It will make the cat beast suffer a big loss. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the cat beast's big claws seemed immune to all poisons during this series of attacks. Not only did the dark spiritual power have no effect on its outstretched claws, but even the small claws on the cat's claws were not affected. Not even the little fuzz has corroded away.
"Damn it, I know, this guy didn't change his body shape at all, this is just a space transformation technique!" Yao Li cursed angrily.
The space transformation technique can be regarded as the most powerful trick for cultivators or monsters. Many cultivators, including monsters, are unable to truly grasp the mystery of it. Prisoner Dragon Fairy
Her strength is strong enough, but she still needs further polishing in the space transformation technique. The reason is that the Dragon Prisoner Fairy is still too young and has no time to accumulate, so it is difficult to truly grasp the essence of the space transformation technique. . Yao Li and Hao Yun were even more miserable. If it hadn't been for the little devil snake, they wouldn't have even touched the hair.
As a result, when they first arrived in the Southern Spiritual World, they randomly encountered an inconspicuous kitten and was able to perform a space transformation technique that astonished most cultivators and monsters. To be honest, Long Qi's level is already high enough, but compared with this cat beast, he still feels inferior. After all, the cat beast's body structure is much more complicated than that of the dragon clan. And because the cat-animal transformation was so lifelike, Hao Yun and the others did not realize at first that it was actually transformed from space.
"What should I do? Are you still fighting?" Hao Yun's fighting spirit has softened a bit. According to the performance of this cat beast, it is at least in the late Mahayana stage. If the fight continues like this, it will be greatly disadvantageous for them. After all, it is only through the magic pill. The strength simulated by his magical power cannot sustain a long-term battle.
Before Yao Li could answer, the cat beast's attack suddenly became hesitant, and then everyone saw the cat beast tiptoeing down its front paws and slowly retreating towards the rear. As the fog gathered again, the cat beast finally disappeared from their eyes.
"Run away quickly, a more powerful enemy has appeared." Huo Kuang's spiritual thoughts suddenly sounded in Hao Yun's mind like a thunder.
