"This is a good idea."
"Instead of blindly searching for a long time, it's better to catch a few strange beasts and ask them."
When Lin Ran said this to Zihuang Zulong, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately looked away.
In the direction where Lin Ran was looking, there was a small bush with a strange beast inside. After seeing Lin Ran's malicious eyes, he was frightened on the spot and started to run away like crazy.
But how could Lin Ran let it escape? The Dragon Soul Thunder Sword immediately appeared in his hand and slashed hard.
However, Lin Ran didn't kill it, nor did he hit it. He just hit a big tree in front of it, blocking its escape route.
The Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon also arrived immediately and appeared in front of this strange beast.
"Don't move. If you dare to move, be careful. I'll swallow you."
The Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon put on a ferocious face, opened its teeth and claws, and said to the strange beast in front of it.
The strange beast looked like a strange beast from the wolf tribe, but its body was light green and transparent, like a wolf-shaped ghost.
Seeing that the Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon with such a powerful aura suddenly appeared in front of it, it was so frightened that its whole body kept trembling and it did not dare to move at all, for fear of being swallowed by the Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon.
"It turns out to be a little wolf soul demon. It looks quite cute."
After Lin Ran saw the Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon subduing the Wolf Soul Demon, he quickly came over.
"I have to say that the demonic beasts living in this ghost mountain are really good. If you catch them casually, you will find an eighth-level wolf soul monster."
"Although he is still underage, it is enough to prove that this ghost mountain is indeed a paradise for demonic beasts."
Lin Ran squatted down and looked at the wolf soul demon in front of him with a smile.
However, the wolf soul demon did not think that Lin Ran was smiling. In its eyes, Lin Ran's smile was very scary. Thinking of the previous threat from the Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon, it became even more scared.
"Okay, okay, don't scare it anymore. After all, it's just an underage wolf soul demon. It wouldn't be good if it scares you to death."
Lin Ran patted the Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon to calm it down.
Then he looked at the wolf soul demon with gentle eyes and said, "Don't be afraid, little wolf soul demon. We'll just ask for directions. As long as you answer well, I'll make sure you're fine."
"And if you answer it well, I will give you an extra reward, how about it?"
After the Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon calmed down, he lay on Lin Ran's shoulders, and the wolf soul demon could no longer feel the strong sense of oppression, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
However, it still didn't dare to run away, because Lin Ran's Dragon Soul Thunder Sword was still in front of it. If it ran away, it would be killed by it, so the wolf soul demon nodded obediently.
"That's right."
Lin Ran reached out and touched its head, and said with a smile: "This question is very simple, tell me where the secret realm on Ghost Shadow Mountain is!"
When the Wolf Soul Demon heard this, his brows immediately furrowed. He had no idea what a secret realm was, so he shook his head with a confused expression and growled a few times.
"It can't tell what secret realm there is. It only knows that there are a few ordinary space-time cracks." Zihuang Zulong translated.
"Huh? You know about the cracks in time and space but don't know about the secret realm?"
Lin Ran continued to look at the wolf soul demon. The star ring flickered slightly, and an eighth-level demon beast crystal appeared. He said to the wolf soul: "The space-time rift is not the answer I want."
"Since you don't know where the secret realm is, then I want you to tell me where the most special place in Ghost Shadow Mountain is. As long as you don't lie to me and take me there obediently, then this eighth-level alien beast crystal will be yours."
When he saw the eighth-level demon beast crystal emerging from Lin Ran's hand, the wolf soul demon's eyes immediately lit up. If it weren't for the fact that it was in Lin Ran's hand, the wolf soul demon would have pounced on it immediately and killed it in one bite. Devoured.
But at this time, even if it wanted to, it didn't dare to move around at will, and its little head kept thinking about it.
"Ouch!~"
The wolf soul demon didn't know what he thought of, and he suddenly became excited and roared at Lin Ran and Zihuang Zulong.
"Oh? You said you don't know where the secret realm is, nor the most peculiar place in Ghost Shadow Mountain, but you know where a group of humans gather?"
After hearing the words of the Wolf Soul Demon, the Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon immediately showed a confused expression.
After Lin Ran heard this, he frowned slightly and started thinking.
"Would you like to catch a few more and see? After all, it doesn't live very long. You can catch some ninth-level beasts that live for a long time and ask."
Zihuang Zulong didn't believe what the wolf soul demon said, so he whispered to Lin Ran.
"No, no, no, I think there's something very suspicious about the spot it just mentioned where a group of humans gathered."
"Think about it, this is Ghost Shadow Mountain. It's very dangerous. Who would come here specifically?"
"I think there must be a purpose. Maybe it's the same purpose as ours, which is to find the secret realm. Moreover, this wolf soul demon is completely attracted to the eighth-level alien beast crystal, so it shouldn't lie."
"I think we can go over with it and have a look. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises. If there really aren't any, then it's still too late to catch other strange beasts and ask about them."
After Lin Ran thought for a moment, he said to the Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon.
"Well... what you said makes sense, so let's go with it first." Hearing this, the Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon nodded slightly.
"Ahem, little wolf soul demon, I'll give you a chance to lead the way."
Lin Ran stood up and said to the wolf soul demon.
The wolf soul demon nodded excitedly, took one last look at the eighth-level alien beast crystal, then swallowed and ran forward quickly.
Lin Ran and Zihuang Zulong also immediately chased after him.
...
Although this wolf soul demon is not very old and has not yet reached adulthood, it has been in Ghost Shadow Mountain for a while, so it is very familiar with the environment here.
Coupled with the powerful auras of the Purple Phoenix Ancestral Dragon and Lin Ran, the other demonic beasts around them also did not dare to move around at will.
After the wolf soul demon seemed to have discovered this, it no longer cowered and ran past some extremely threatening beasts openly without worrying about being eaten by them.
If this were the case in the past, the Wolf Soul Demon would definitely not dare to come over and would directly choose to take a detour, but this time it was different.
Soon, the wolf soul demon led Lin Ran and Zihuang Zulong to a place with extremely dense fog. It was like a sunken valley, and it was so white that it was impossible to see clearly.
After the wolf soul demon ran here, he excitedly pointed at the valley below and shouted "Ouch~" at Lin Ran.
...
