Chapter 36: Foundation Establishment Stage Monster
The forest in front of him was larger than the one Xie Liuyin had walked through before, and the trees inside looked taller and more lush.
The light in the forest was dim. Most of the sunlight was blocked by the leaves. Only a few rays of light shone into the forest. The scene was extremely beautiful.
Xie Liuyin took a few steps inside, but before he stepped deeper into the woods, he suddenly stopped.
For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, as if she would encounter some danger if she continued forward.
I didn't notice it just now, but now that I look closely, the forest in front of me is clearly out of tune with the surrounding area, and the bloody aura it exudes is obviously much stronger than this place where low-level monsters are bred.
Xie Liuyin's heart skipped a beat. She vaguely sensed a sense of familiarity in the woods.
The monk’s premonition would not be wrong, and Xie Liuyin also believed that he would not be afraid of a forest for no reason.
Thinking of her pitiful cultivation level of just the fourth level of Qi training, Xie Liuyin quietly retreated. She did not intend to take any risks.
Some risks are worth taking, but the risk at hand is clearly unnecessary.
She only needs to hunt down the monsters and plants well, and she can firmly sit in the position of leader.
After thinking this through, Xie Liuyin decided to stay away from the woods.
But she never expected that the trap set for her by others was obviously not something she could avoid just because she wanted to.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently, and Xie Liuyin felt a powerful aura rushing towards him at a rapid speed.
The hair on her body stood up and goose bumps appeared all over her body.
Xie Liuyin didn't have time to think about it and immediately used his martial arts to escape from there.
But she was one step too late.
A scarlet tongue rolled out from behind rapidly, as if it had eyes, and slammed down towards Xie Liuyin's position.
Xie Liuyin immediately used "Ghost Tracking" to wipe the edge of the long tongue and avoided the attack very narrowly.
But a drop of the fishy mucus on his tongue splashed onto her, and Xie Liuyin saw that a hole was instantly corroded on the sleeve of her robe made of shark silk.
She pursed her lips, knowing that she had met a tough guy this time.
As the huge monster approached, the tall trees in the forest fell down one by one, with loud rumbling noises.
Xie Liuyin almost pushed the first level of "Ghost Tracking" to its limit, and while running away, he looked at the appearance of the monster behind him.
When all the trees fell, the true appearance of the monster was finally revealed.
It was a Foundation Establishment Stage swamp clam covered with green bumps. Xie Liuyin had seen information about this monster.
Swamp clams usually live in swamps and like to use their long tongues to attack passing living things. Their tongues are very sensitive and the mucus on them is poisonous.
The small bumps on their backs can also spray venom, which, once it lands on human skin, can burn through the skin in just a few blinks of an eye.
But this venom is ineffective against Jindan stage cultivators, but it is deadly to them, the Qi training stage disciples!
Xie Liuyin gritted her teeth. She didn't know why a monster from the foundation-building stage would appear in the trial area of the Qi-refining stage. She also didn't understand why a swamp clam that only liked to stay in the swamp would run so far to attack her.
The only thing she knew was that she was being tricked.
Is it Xie Mingzhu or Qin Tian?
It shouldn't be Xie Mingzhu. She is also in the trial formation. This Foundation Establishment Stage monster is too uncontrollable. If she is not careful, she will get hurt.
Moreover, with her current abilities, she would not be able to accomplish such a big thing without Ye Chaoyun's help.
So, it’s Qin Tian?
Thinking back to when he first met the other person, that person took sides, and later his apprentice was defeated by him, and his reputation was ruined.
Xie Liuyin quickly determined that it was Qin Tian who took action.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, a strong wind blew from behind him, and Xie Liuyin fell to the ground without being able to dodge.
At this time, she had already run very far, and there were a few unfamiliar fellow disciples standing less than 20 meters away from Xie Liuyin.
Xie Liuyin hurriedly shouted at them: "Run! There are Foundation Establishment Stage monsters here. Run! Leave the formation quickly and inform the sisters and brothers who are guarding outside!"
Those disciples were already frightened by the huge noise. The strength of the monster is also reflected in its size.
A demon beast in the Qi Refining Stage is only as tall as an adult at most, so it is impossible for it to make such a big noise.
Now, after hearing Xie Liuyin's warning, several people didn't care about anything else and ran away quickly.
But they were smart enough to spread the news while running.
One of the disciples who managed to get into the top ten by chance gritted his teeth and crushed the jade beads on his waist.
He knew very well that he had no ability to survive the claws of the monster, so he simply went out to ask for help, and perhaps he could make some good friends.
The commotion here was so loud that the other disciples in the formation also noticed something was wrong.
Hua Lingxue was very sensitive to scents, and could sense the terrifying aura emanating from the Foundation Establishment Stage monster even from a long distance away.
She frowned and ran quickly towards the direction where the monster and Xie Liuyin were.
"What happened to Ling Xue? The monster was on its last breath. Why did she give up?" The third elder Gu Fan couldn't help but ask when he saw that something was wrong.
Feng Hongqiu, who thought she knew her apprentice very well, frowned: "She must have discovered something was wrong and went to investigate."
As soon as Feng Hongqiu finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook again.
This time Hua Lingxue was closer, and felt the vibration more clearly.
The important people in the hall naturally noticed the change in the situation. The eighth elder Du Luan, who was quite knowledgeable about monsters, asked, "What's going on? Was this caused by a monster?"
"Impossible!" Miaoyin was the first to stand up and refute, "I have checked all the monsters in the trial area, and I have cleared out all those with such strength."
Miaoyin was the person in charge of the competition, and she was always serious about her work. She was especially careful when dealing with matters that concerned the lives of the disciples.
She would never make such a mistake!
"Even though you have cleared it out, it doesn't mean that someone with ulterior motives can't get another one in there. Go to the nearby Qi Refining Area, which is the Foundation Building Area." In the silence, Xianyue's voice sounded faintly.
Miaoyin's originally extremely determined expression instantly turned into surprise.
Not only that, her ruler soon began to flicker. Miaoyin quickly picked it up and heard the panicked voice of her eldest disciple: "Master, a swamp clam in the Foundation Establishment stage appeared in the trial formation and is chasing and attacking the new disciples. Several new disciples were forced to leave the formation. Do you want to arrange for someone to go in and strangle them?"
"Send someone immediately..."
"Wait a minute." Qin Tian slowly stopped Miao Yin, "Don't be so anxious. Although the monsters in the foundation-building stage are indeed a bit ferocious, the world of cultivation is inherently dangerous. Let the new disciples take this opportunity to feel the danger, and they will practice more seriously in the future."
"Besides, don't the new disciples carry jade beads with them? If they really encounter something life-threatening, they will definitely crush the jade beads and escape."
"No!" Miaoyu rejected Qin Tian's proposal without thinking.
