The huge footprint was about half the size of a person.

Qi Ye crouched down and carefully examined it.

It would occasionally wrinkle its nose and inhale the scent of the ground.

Seemingly having discovered something, he stood up and said:

"Junior Uncle, it is indeed a demon beast without a doubt."

Purple is relatively pure, so it doesn't carry much bloodshed.

Their strength is terrifying, at least equal to, and no less than ours; we need to be careful.

Ye Feng nodded and asked, "Can you confirm what kind of monster it is?"

"Judging from the shape of these footprints, they should be from a bear. Bears and tigers do indeed have a higher probability of being associated with monsters."

...

Following the footprints into the courtyard, we saw a collapsed house.

After cleaning, it was confirmed that this should be the hunter's kitchen.

The iron pot on the stove had disappeared, revealing the blackened hearth.

Jue Ming twitched her nose a few times and said succinctly:

"If there's no smell of blood, either they didn't eat people, or they swallowed them alive."

The hunter hadn't returned, and a sense of foreboding crept into their hearts.

Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what strength this monster has, it must die if it eats people!"

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Since the footprints can still be seen, let's follow them and see what's going on."

Qi Ye nodded and walked out first.

Following the footprints, we arrived at a cave.

The group became cautious and on guard.

The cave is not very big, about two meters high and one meter wide.

Qi Ye's expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice:

"Judging from the size of the footprints, that monster could never have entered this cave."

It's probably a demonic beast that has mastered the ability to shrink; it would need to be at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

Ye Feng also tensed up and asked in a low voice, "Should we call for backup?"

The mission is important, but I can't risk my fellow disciples' and my own lives.

You can take on another mission if it's over, but if you lose a person, you lose everything.

Qi Ye thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"No need for now. I have already passed the Nascent Soul stage and am now at the initial stage of Nascent Soul."

With Junior Brother Jue Ming at the late Golden Core stage and two Junior Sisters at the mid-Golden Core stage, they should be safe and sound.

"Uncle Ye can cover for us."

Ye Feng felt somewhat embarrassed.

As a senior martial uncle, he was surprised to find that he had the lowest cultivation level. For the first time, he had the idea of ​​whether or not he should level up.

Just as he was about to speak, a muffled thunderous sound came from inside the cave!

The group immediately became alert and cautiously looked towards the cave entrance.

"breathe"……

That sound sounds like snoring while sleeping?

The group looked at each other, but ultimately decided to go inside and find out what was going on.

Since one's feet never touch the ground while riding a flying sword, there will naturally be no scenes of stepping on tree branches or kicking pebbles.

The cave is very deep and winding.

After rounding a bend, the cave suddenly became extremely spacious.

The group felt as if they had walked through a small door into a huge palace.

Qi Ye, who was at the front, suddenly reached out and stopped the group.

He pointed to the wall in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, their pupils contracted.

A huge and menacing shadow was projected onto the wall.

We're about to see the real deal!

He had already activated the Breath Concealing Technique to its maximum, and every step he took felt like walking on the edge of an abyss.

They were afraid that they might accidentally wake up the monsters inside.

After rounding the last bend, the group finally saw the true face of the monster.

There is a high platform in the middle of the cave.

The platform was covered with a thick layer of thatch.

A gigantic monster, over thirty meters long, was lying on it.

The monster's head resembled a lion's, but it had a single, enormous horn.

Its body is like a blue ox, but it has four huge feet that look like bear paws.

Its tail hangs down from its rear end like a banana leaf fan.

At this moment, the monster is sleeping on the high platform.

A thunderous sound reverberated throughout the cave.

Just as the group was about to discuss their next move, the snoring suddenly stopped.

The monster's previously closed eyes suddenly opened!

A pair of huge eyes stared straight at Ye Feng and his companions.

"roar!"

The monster seemed to shudder, then quickly stood up and let out a roar.

The cave seemed to shake, with dust and rocks falling down in a flurry!

Seven Nights' crimson longsword hovered above their heads, and a golden light shield enveloped them.

Dust and stones that landed on the light shield were bounced off.

As the most senior member of the team, Ye Feng hurriedly called out:

"We are disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. Fellow Daoist, may I state our names?"

Based on the strength displayed by the demon beast, it was definitely above the Nascent Soul stage.

Most Nascent Soul stage demon beasts have a background.

"roar!"

The monster remained unmoved by Ye Feng's words, raising its ferocious head and roaring once more.

Zhao Xing muttered under her breath, "Is this monster venting its morning grumpiness?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her strangely, Zhao Xing also showed a hint of embarrassment.

Ye Feng is a food blogger on Earth and is quite good at communication.

Other sword cultivators are a bit lacking in this regard; they believe in fighting rather than arguing.

They started shouting again, as if they were being forced into it.

"Fellow Daoist, you've come to my Shu Mountain territory without explaining your situation? Are you trying to take advantage of the fact that Shu Mountain has no one to rely on?"

As Ye Feng shouted, he gained more confidence.

This is my Shushan territory now. At worst, I'll just call for a gang fight if I don't complete the task!

But the monster completely ignored his shouts and even arched its body, assuming a fighting stance.

This ignited the short tempers of the group.

Zhao Xing made a sword gesture, and a huge sky-blue flying sword phantom appeared above his head.

"go!"

With a soft shout, Zhaoxing Sword pointed at the demon beast.

The illusory image of the flying sword was instantly activated, transforming into a bolt of lightning that flew towards the demonic beast.

"boom!"

The flying sword struck the demonic beast, followed by a tremendous roar.

The powerful force of the collision even caused the cave to shake violently.

Qi Ye hurriedly steadied his flying sword to prevent the falling rocks from hitting his junior uncle, who was weak... cough cough.

Qi Ye glanced guiltily at Ye Feng, then breathed a sigh of relief.

We must not offend our junior uncle, or we'll never want to work again.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the enormous, unharmed body of the monster was once again revealed.

"roar!"

With another roar, the monster crouched on the high platform, seemingly ready to pounce at any moment.

Since things have come to this point, there's no need for further words.

Ultimately, whoever has the bigger fist is right.

Jue Ming and Qing You also began to perform sword incantations.

The spacious hall was immediately filled with all sorts of flying sword phantoms!

With a thought, thousands upon thousands of flying swords shot out.

What's even stranger is that these flying swords made absolutely no sound.

Aside from the "boom" sounds made when they collided with the monsters.

The entire flight process was completely silent.

The monster remained in the same position as before.

The flying sword phantom landed on the demonic beast but still did not cause any damage.

"Roar!" "Roar!"

Seemingly enraged, the monster let out an even louder roar.

The enormous sound seemed to crack the entire mountain.

Qi Ye ceased maintaining the light barrier and began to change his sword techniques in quick succession.

Flames raged on the crimson flying sword.

The purple flames pulsed violently, and the heatwave even made the people under the sword feel suffocated.

Qi Ye clasped his hands together and raised them above his head.

His gaze sharpened, and he cleaved down instantly!

The flaming greatsword began to spin rapidly in response to Qi Ye's movements.

As he chopped down with both hands, he transformed into a high-speed rotating drill.

It flashed away in the direction of the monster.

Ye Feng and the others looked at the small silver coin with strange expressions.

Without the slightest embarrassment, Qi Ye calmly said:

"This way of chopping down makes the posture look cooler."

Even as they were talking, the giant drill sword had already landed on the monster.

"Sizzle" "Sizzle"

The rapidly spinning giant sword struck the monster with a tremendous noise.

It was as harsh as scratching glass with your fingernails.

A vortex-like vortex formed on the greatsword.

Sparks flew everywhere where the monsters came into contact with each other.

The Mars was sucked into the cyclone, forming a fiery tornado.

Qi Ye began to increase the output of spiritual power by forming a sword incantation with his hands.

The giant sword was spinning faster and faster.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Qi Ye's forehead, and his breathing became rapid.

However, the monster remained unmoved, not even changing its posture.

It was as if that flaming greatsword was made of paper.

Time passed second by second, and Qi Ye's spiritual energy was almost completely depleted.

The giant sword gradually dissipated until it disappeared completely.

"roar!"

The monster let out a triumphant roar, like a victor's declaration.

The atmosphere has been built up to this point.

Ye Feng felt he should also lend a hand.

Before he reached the Golden Core stage and had his own natal flying sword, he took out the iron sword he had always used for transportation.

Qi Ye Zhaoxing and his companions were on high alert, wary of any sudden attacks from the demonic beasts.

They didn't notice Ye Feng's actions at the very end.

With a flick of his wrist, the iron sword flew out like a sharp arrow.

Compared to the attack speed of the previous flying swords.

Ye Feng's flying sword was like an old lady strolling down the street.

At this moment, Qi Ye and the others also saw the iron sword.

"Uncle Ye's strength is visibly low."

"This kind of attack is like a mosquito biting a steel plate; what good can it do?"

"Should I act a little more shocked? After all, Junior Uncle also has his pride."

The group inwardly scoffed, having little hope for this attack.

Then, what happened next almost made their eyes pop out.
