Two figures stood in a dense forest. The surrounding ancient trees were as tall as clouds, with lush branches, green grass on the ground, and many colorful mushrooms looming in the grass, making this place look extremely beautiful.
However, there was a strong smell of blood surrounding the two of them, and it seemed that they had just experienced a big battle.
"I, Sun Xi, would like to thank my fellow Taoist for the rescue. I never expected that a large group of red-tailed demon wolves would appear on the outskirts of this wild forest!" An old man said gratefully to the young man next to him.
The young man whom the old man thanked was Jining. After he obtained the jade map slip before, he found that the location recorded on the jade map slip was in the outer area of the Yiti Mountains. So he came to investigate on his own, but according to the map, he wandered around the Yiti Mountains and still couldn't find the place.
And when he walked around here, he saw that the old man named Sun Xi, who was in the first level of Nascent Soul cultivation, was besieged by a group of red-tailed demon wolves. He used the Nascent Soul puppet that had not been used for a long time to lure away most of the red-tailed demon wolves and save him. Next is this old man.
Then Sun Xi continued: "I can't repay you for saving your life, but by chance I discovered a small secret realm near here. I wonder if you would be interested in following me into this secret realm!"
Unexpectedly, there would be a secret realm outside this wild mountain range, which also surprised Jining. And this old man from the You clan is not very advanced, so this secret realm should not be too dangerous, and Jining will naturally not object.
Then the two figures slowly moved in one direction.
Although Sun Xi said that the secret realm was nearby, he didn't know if he didn't know the specific location of the secret realm very well, or there were other reasons. In addition, the two of them did not dare to be too obvious in the wild forest, and they walked carefully on the ground.
They walked for more than half a year before arriving here. They also encountered several sixth- and seventh-level monsters along the way, but they were all killed by the old man with all his strength. All valuables on the monsters were destroyed. He pocketed it, which also made Jining feel that it was not easy for Yuanying monks to survive in the spiritual world.
At this time, the ancient trees ahead were getting denser and denser, and there were more and more thorns and vines on the ground, making it impossible for them to move forward.
At this time, Sun Xi had a jade slip in his hand. After examining it with his spiritual consciousness, he showed a smile and said, "This trip went well. The secret place should be here soon!", and then he patted the spirit on his waist. The beast bag, and then a white demon rabbit appeared in the void.
Seeing this white demon rabbit, Jining immediately understood something. This demon rabbit is called the Ice Demon Rabbit. It is not very powerful in itself, but they have a talent, that is, they are particularly sensitive to the aura of heaven and earth, so many monks like to use it. The Ice Demon Rabbit comes to hunt for treasure.
The Ice Demon Rabbit's eyes turned around, then turned into a white light and flew into the distance. Then a few ancient trees in front of it actually lit up with a ray of light. After seeing it, the You Clan old man also quickly followed.
Looking at the changes ahead, Jining showed a hint of surprise. He didn't expect that this ancient forest turned out to be a natural illusion.
Passing through the illusion of ancient trees, Jining appeared in a wide canyon. At this time, a breeze blew by, and the rich aura of heaven and earth mixed with the fragrance of vegetation hit his face.
"What a great place for practice and retreat!"
Jining exclaimed in his heart that the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is indeed a good place for cultivation. If his soul had not been injured and was not suitable for cultivation, he would have planned to stay in seclusion here for a while.
Then Jining had a suspicion, and vaguely felt that this secret realm was not as simple as it appeared. At this time, he saw that Sun Xi had disappeared in front of the canyon, so he got up and followed him.
Not long after, he saw Sun Xi standing on a green grassland, carefully picking a spiritual herb and elixir, while the Ice Demon Rabbit was chewing several spiritual herbs next to it.
After Sun Xi saw Jining appear, he said to Jining: "Ji Taoist friend, this canyon is quite big, so let's just rely on good luck!"
Jining knew what Sun Xi was thinking, but he didn't take it to heart. After nodding, he stood up and drifted away. Sun Xi saw a smile on his face after Jining left, and then continued to pick.
There was such a secret realm in the outskirts of the wild forest, which also made Jining have a question in his mind. He vaguely felt that this secret realm was not as simple as it appeared, so he planned to look around to see if he could see any clues.
He walked through the canyon towards the depths and picked a few good-quality spiritual herbs on the way, but he did not pick most of the average-quality spiritual herbs. At this time, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and Jining looked at the black shadow with a hint of surprise on his face. This black shadow turned out to be a black unicorn cub of the sacred beast of heaven and earth.
How could there be a holy beast here?
So he activated his body skills and followed in the direction of the black shadow's escape.
Not long after, a huge stone hill appeared in front of him, and the black unicorn cub stood on the hill. It stared at Jining with its cold eyes and roared from its mouth.
Jining did not go forward to catch it, but steadied his body and looked at the boulder hill suspiciously, because in front of the boulder hill there were piles of bones. Most of these bones were monster beasts, and there were also a few human skeletons.
"Hey, there is a black unicorn cub in this secret realm. I seem to be very lucky!" The old man of the You clan shouted happily from the distance, and then he turned into a gray light and flew towards the black unicorn.
Jining looked at the ecstatic old man with a trace of ridicule in his eyes. Then the black unicorn cub on the boulder hill disappeared strangely. After being evacuated, the old man stood on the boulder hill with a confused expression. Suddenly, the old man's face changed drastically.
He seemed to be restrained by something invisible, "Fellow Taoist, help me!" The old man hurriedly called to Jining for help.
Jining narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt a strange aura restraining the old man in the boulder hill, and then he felt a strange aura from the boulder hill.
Then he knew that a powerful corpse demon was sealed here. It seemed that the numerous bones in front of the boulder hill were all killed by the corpse demon, and the black unicorn was also transformed by it using secret techniques.
Jining made a move with his hand, and the Nascent Soul puppet appeared in front of him. Then the Nascent Soul puppet raised its bow and shot an arrow towards the boulder hill.
A loud "boom" sound immediately shook the void around the boulder hill, and Sun Xi also seized the opportunity to break free from the invisible restraint.
Then Sun Xi appeared next to Jining in shock. Jining felt that Sun Xi had a bit of death energy on his body, and found that in just a few breaths, a lot of life had been sucked out of him.
The pale Sun Xi was about to thank Jining, but then Jining pulled him up and quickly flew outside.
As the two people fled quickly, a monster with pointed ears and a round face appeared on the boulder hill. It stared at the two people who fled quickly with a trace of anger.
In a dense forest, Jining looked at Sun Xi and said: "It seems that the secret place should be the place where monsters are sealed. It is a great blessing that you and I can leave safely today. I don't know what your next step will be."
After Sun Xi took a few pills, his face regained some color, and then he sighed softly and said: "If my fellow Taoist hadn't come to rescue me, I would have perished. But just now, a lot of vitality was sucked away by that monster. Now I can only leave this place quickly and return to Wuya City to retreat to recover from the injuries in my body."
Jining nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist really needs to find a place to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise it will hurt his roots! But Ji has other things to do, and he doesn't plan to leave this mountain range for the time being."
Sun Xi nodded and said: "Then I will go back to Wuya City first. Then fellow Daoist Ji can go to Yunshuiji to find me!"
Then Sun Xi turned around and walked towards the outside of the mountain range.
