Zhanyue and Baizhi headed straight into the depths. During the day, the dangers in the secret realm were relatively fewer, and this ti they had prepared a large number of pills to conceal human scent, ensuring safety even at night.
The two stopped in front of a ‘willow tree’. This tree had thousands of branches and leaves hanging down like a willow, swaying in the wind. On the main trunk was a hole, inside which hung a fruit that looked like a heart, pulsating periodically.
“Demon Willow Heart, worth 1,000 points!” Baizhi excitedly ran over. Zhanyue wore a mischievous smile but didn’t stop her.
The thousand willow branches suddenly ca alive, tightly binding the approaching Baizhi, accentuating her graceful figure. Then, the willow leaves on the tree transford into flying blades, about to cut Baizhi into pieces.
A huge pillar of fire erupted from the ground, directly enveloping the entire willow tree. The flying blades turned to ash in the fierce fire, and the branches entangling Baizhi were all burned off.
Under her veil, Baizhi’s face was crimson. She didn’t dare look at Zhanyue.
“You knew this thing was a demon willow, yet you still rushed over. Demon plants are also demons, with so intelligence,” Zhanyue criticized. This girl was too reckless, seeing points like a dog seeing a bone.
“It’s because you’re here that I let my guard down,” Baizhi defended herself.
“Now you’re blaming ? I’m not omnipotent. Besides, you’re at the ninth stage of Soul Control, almost entering Profound Realm. It’s not good to always rely on soone at the seventh stage of Spirit Communication,” Zhanyue said helplessly.
“The capable should do more work. Who told you to be so powerful?” Baizhi took the red fruit from the charred trunk. Zhanyue wasn’t interested in this thing; they needed to use so things to exchange for points. “You keep it.”
Baizhi didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted these 10,000 points. She had given Zhanyue the right to choose; she wouldn’t ask for anything he wanted, only taking what he didn’t. She was aware of being a burden.
Taking out the map, Zhanyue looked at the markings. Not far away was a ruin that should have been a small town. Where there was a town, there might be remnant information of civilization. The two headed there.
Anything of value in these ruins had long been emptied by others, not even sparing so building materials, leaving only broken walls. Zhanyue didn’t even find a single character here.
Suddenly, a black wildcat appeared on top of a broken stone pillar. It pointed towards the east with its paw, seeming to indicate for Zhanyue and Baizhi to go that way.
“Hm?” Zhanyue curiously looked at this cute wildcat, not expecting spirit beasts in this secret realm to be willing to communicate with humans, although it was dayti now and they weren’t affected by the blood moon.
“Let’s go, follow it and see,” The two closely followed the wildcat as it left. The wildcat would occasionally turn its head back to see if Zhanyue and the others were keeping up.
Soon, Zhanyue and Baizhi were led to a deep part of the wilderness. The sll of blood drifted on the wind. A large number of spirit beasts had gathered here, surrounding two cat demons, one large and one small, in the center. The larger cat demon was also black, but now covered in blood, with several blood-red wounds that looked ghastly. The small cat demon beside it was snow-white all over, timidly hiding beside its mother.
“Did this little black cat co to find help? It’s really grasping at straws. None of these spirit beasts are easy to deal with,” Zhanyue hid in the distance, looking at the spirit beasts in the outer circle. They were all powerful fourth and fifth-grade existences, a full twelve of them.
“What should we do?” Baizhi beside him felt helpless. Those spirit beasts were too strong. Even if she and Zhanyue joined forces, they would just be offering themselves up. After all, even a peak fourth-grade bear demon was so difficult to deal with. That old black cat was already a peak fifth-grade existence, half a step into sixth grade, originally a local demon king level existence that other spirit beasts wouldn’t dare to provoke. Unfortunately, it had failed in its breakthrough attempt and suffered backlash injuries, now being attacked by the group.
“ow!” The little black cat beside them didn’t care about all that. It directly rushed back. Enduring several attacks, the fourth-grade little black cat finally returned to its mother’s side. Fifth grade was equivalent to the Star Profound level for humans. Among these twelve spirit beasts, four were fifth grade. They were wary of each other and also afraid the old black cat might suddenly counterattack, so they only surrounded without attacking, unwilling to be the first to move and risk being dragged down by the old black cat.
The old black cat looked at the little black cat who had returned after escaping, its eyes full of sorrow. This foolish child had escaped but ca back.
“I didn’t expect these beasts to be so loyal,” Baizhi sighed, watching the battle situation from afar. But she was powerless; those three cat demons probably couldn’t escape death.
“So do you think we should save them?” Zhanyue asked.
Baizhi was stunned, then said, “Now is not the ti to joke. Don’t go over there.” She was really afraid Zhanyue would impulsively rush over. It was too dangerous.
“Every day you call a big braggart. If I don’t show so real skills, you’ll really underestimate . Twelve spirit beast cores are there for the taking. That little black cat is very cute, I like it. That reason is enough,” Zhanyue made up his mind.
“You…” Baizhi wanted to dissuade him, but she saw Zhanyue’s mind move, and a silver armor appeared out of thin air, automatically equipping itself on him. Then Zhanyue took out a top-grade spirit stone and embedded it in the armor.
Although the Sun Divine Stone wouldn’t be destroyed, it also needed ti to replenish energy. The power embedded with the Sun Divine Stone was obviously stronger; he wanted to keep it in hand as a trump card.
“Quick battle, quick victory. The energy of the top-grade spirit stone shouldn’t be completely consud,” Zhanyue, clad in armor, charged over.
Seeing that shining silver armor, Baizhi was a bit dazed. What was that? But his current appearance was too handso. Baizhi’s heart fluttered at the sight.
Seeing soone interfere, the group of spirit beasts was very dissatisfied. Three spirit beasts imdiately surrounded and attacked, while the other spirit beasts continued to encircle the old black cat, preventing it from escaping.
The three spirit beasts were all fourth grade, a wolf, a tiger, and a leopard. Zhanyue didn’t look closely, nor did he need to. His ji halberd smashed the fourth-grade wolf’s head in one strike. Then, activating the Phantom Light Step, he dodged the tiger and leopard’s attacks and with another halberd strike cut the leopard in half. The tiger demon, seeing the situation was unfavorable, wanted to escape, but Zhanyue disappeared and suddenly burrowed out of the ground in front of it, kicking it down and then piercing its belly with the halberd. In just a few breaths, Zhanyue had slain three beasts. Whether it was the other spirit beasts, the cat demons, or Baizhi watching from afar, all fell silent, as if ti had stopped.
“How is he so powerful?” Baizhi was left with only confusion.
