Chapter 38 Swiftly Flying Over the Grass
Huo Erdan, who was lying on the edge of the airship, muttered in surprise, "It looks like a giant python! A thin head and a long body. But I heard that the third-tier mystic beasts cultivating here aren't snakes, but the Golden-Eyed Alligator Beast from Cloud Mist Lake?"
Lu Hongming stared intently at the trees on the mountain range: "It turns out to be a python that had become a spirit, which was tamed by our founding ancestor with the word 'divine' and hid within the sect as a guardian dragon."
"This place was later occupied by the Golden-Eyed Crocodile Beast. Because there is a third-order water-type mystic vein in the Cloud Mist Lake area, our guardian dragon would occasionally come out to fight this crocodile beast."
"Alright, we're about to descend. Get ready."
……
At the same time, on the first floor of the Divine Inscription Hall of the Cloud Cauldron Sect, Qiu Xuankuang, who was on duty, was writing the character "神" (divine) on the wet mud of the stone table, as usual.
Suddenly, a series of rapid and sharp dripping sounds came from both sides of the stone table.
Immediately afterwards, the carved beast heads on both sides, as if by a mechanism, slightly opened their long snouts, red lights lit up at the tips of the snouts, and then emitted a sound: "Urgent report from the War Department! Urgent report from the War Department!"
Qiu Xuankuang raised his eyebrows in surprise, immediately put down the stone nail in his hand, and pressed it against the red dot on the beast's long snout.
A screen then emerged from the red dot, displaying a string of ordinary text above the desktop.
After quickly reading through it, Qiu Xuankuang's eyes suddenly bulged in shock, and his divine sense probed towards a room on the second floor: "Grandmaster, something terrible has happened! The War Division has reported a red emergency!"
Two breaths later, Master Qin, his handsome face grim, walked out of the room on the second floor through the heavy door. With one stride, he leaped several meters and landed in front of the stone table. After staring intently at the ordinary text on the screen for a few breaths, he suddenly spoke. The words seemed to burst out one by one from between his teeth, hateful and cold.
"How dare they join forces to plot against our sect! Immediately send orders to the War Department; I'm heading to the Sect Master's Peak!"
After saying that, his figure blurred, and he rose several feet into the air, disappearing through the open window in the roof.
Qiu Xuankuang looked worried and hurriedly started pressing on the giant beast's head.
The sect is in real trouble this time!
……
As the airship slowly descended towards the primeval forest a hundred meters away, Wang Yan sensitively detected a hint of putridity and fishiness in the air.
They also saw several first-tier black-necked long-tailed birds glance at them warily before darting away from the dense forest.
At this moment, several hundred meters away in a certain direction, in the tall bushes, a group of first-tier white-tailed blood-eyed wolves, each larger than a bison, lowered their massive bodies slightly, baring their teeth warily at them. The blood-red light in their eyes was illuminated by the spots of sunlight, flashing by in an instant.
Wang Yan roughly counted them inside the airship; there were at least thirty of these Tier 1 White-tailed Blood-eyed Wolves.
This was one of their goals for this collection.
Their white tail hairs are a good material for talisman pen tips and can be used to make second-tier talisman pens.
Their eyeballs can be used to extract a refreshing eye drop that quickly relieves eye fatigue.
Their sharp teeth can be used to make magical artifacts to ward off evil spirits, their blood can be used to extract a molten metal liquid that accelerates the melting of metals, and their mystic crystals can even aid in cultivation.
They are speed-type mystical beasts, and sometimes they can unleash sharp wind blades that are difficult to defend against. Only those who have written the divine character "Speed" can avoid them and fight against them.
Moreover, so many black wolves were lurking in the grass, watching them like prey, poised to pounce... Just imagining their sharp teeth tearing his arms apart and their wind blades severing his throat at any moment made Wang Yan instinctively shudder with fear.
Qiao Bentu, Lu Hongming, and Jiang Linyue are all at the Profound Breaking Realm, somewhere between the Innate and Foundation Establishment Realms. Aren't they a bit too weak to deal with these thirty-odd first-tier white-tailed blood-eyed wolves?
Lu Hongming suddenly spoke in a deep voice: "You saw that pack of white-tailed, blood-eyed wolves, right? Now's the time to make your move!"
Wang Yan's heart tightened as he felt the airship suddenly accelerate its descent.
Is a battle about to begin?
He suddenly felt a dry mouth and swallowed unconsciously.
"Damn it, in my past life I only ever played with pet dogs in my neighborhood, I've never seen a captive wolf in a zoo!"
Even the original owner of this body used to be protected by the strong men in the village. If a mystical beast attacked, the first thing to do was to run away.
Now, as a cultivator who has opened his sea of consciousness, he must face this low-level mystic beast head-on!
As if sensing his nervousness, a faint, youthful fragrance suddenly wafted over.
Jiang Linyue approached him and whispered comforting words, her breath sweet as orchids: "There are quite a few wolves, be careful, try to avoid them if you can."
Wang Yan turned his head and met her concerned and worried gaze. He was taken aback, and then a surge of heroic spirit welled up in his heart.
Even a delicate and fragile girl like her dared to fight against a vicious wolf.
Should I, as a man, back down?
Wang Yan said solemnly, "I'll be careful, and you must take good care of yourself too!"
Jiang Linyue's expression softened immediately: "Okay!"
……
When the airship was about ten feet above the ground, at Lu Hongming's command, they all jumped off the airship and landed steadily in the waist-high bushes amidst the whistling wind.
The shrubs here, perhaps nourished by the droppings and flesh of the mystical beasts, have branches and leaves that are rather coarse than those inside the sect.
Even though they trampled on it, it didn't break immediately; some of it even caught on their clothes.
Wang Yan awkwardly freed himself from a vine that had hooked him, then nervously touched the black iron plaque hanging around his neck. He took out the Hundred-Refined Traceless Sword he had exchanged from his storage bracelet, and immediately felt more confident.
Then, divine characters emerged from between Jiang Linyue's and Qiao Bendu's eyebrows: "Like light, swift pursuit."
"His body is lighter than that of a bird."
Then, the two began to leap from the top of a bush about the height of a person, and they did indeed look quite agile.
Seeing Huo Erdan and Li Sizhu, Wei Ergang also used this set of divine runes to reduce his body weight and run on the grass. Wang Yan shook his head helplessly and combined another set in his sea of consciousness.
"Swift as a fly over the grass!"
Holding his sword, Wang Yan followed them, leaping across the swaying bushes, his compound eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
A powerful upward force was supporting his body, propelling him forward.
The sounds of insects crawling, mosquitoes flying, and small animals running away...
There were also some strange cries that were indistinguishable.
"This is the real wilderness, fraught with danger at every turn!"
After Wang Yan infused his Xuan Qi into his Swift Wind Boots, they released a powerful forward force, increasing his speed even further. When he leaped alongside Huo Erdan, he used far less energy than usual.
"Wearing it, I can run for longer periods of time!"
Jiang Linyue was flanked by Lu Hongming and Qiao Bendu, who were protecting her from the left and right, as they sped across the top of the bushes ahead.
"Awooo!" Suddenly, Wang Yan vaguely heard the fierce roar of the White-tailed Blood-eyed Wolf coming from ahead.
coming!
The three people in front of them also slowed down and jumped to the ground covered with weeds, assuming a defensive posture.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.
From all directions, first-tier white-tailed blood-eyed wolves were approaching them slowly, their red eyes hidden in the dense grass, looking particularly eerie.
