Nangong Jiu smiled bitterly.
“We were nearly torn to pieces by the demon beasts and monsters. If Daddy and Mommy hadn’t come to save us, we would have all been killed.
There were obviously not many monsters at that time, but the more we fought, the more there were, like stirring up a hornet's nest.
The most terrifying thing is that there are monsters on the ground constantly attacking, and there are monsters in the sky making sneak attacks. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a life-or-death situation."
Xiao Wang shuddered: "Then we must learn from this lesson and wait until they have finished fighting and dispersed before we go to collect the inner elixir."
Nangong Jiu simply found a branch of a big tree and lay down to sleep: "You guys keep an eye on them. Call me when they're done fighting."
Taoist Qingchen smiled dotingly and stayed by her side.
They originally thought that the fight would be over soon, but the team grew larger and larger as it went on, and several people guarded it until dusk.
Taoist Qingchen looked around and said, "Jiujun, it's getting dark. Should we continue to stay here?"
"We've been holding out for a whole day. With so many high-level magical beasts' inner cores, we have no choice but to hold out."
"Then do you want to go down and find a place to set up tent?"
"There are wild boars and wolves fighting down there. We might become their target. It's safer to stay in the trees."
Nangong Jiu glanced at Xiao Wang and the others, then looked at the tree where they were living, raised his hand and covered the entire tree with a barrier.
He took out food and water from his small pocket and said, "Come and have something to eat. After you're full, take turns watching over it. This tree is big enough and safe. Everyone, rest assured."
Xiao Wang and the others ate while looking down: "Your Majesty, it's a good thing we didn't join in. The fight is getting bigger and bigger, and it's almost dark and they don't seem to be ready to stop."
"Boars and wolves are nocturnal and aren't afraid of the dark."
That night, everyone took turns keeping watch, and no one woke up Nangong Jiu.
The next day dawned.
Nangong Jiu woke up, rubbed his eyes, and looked around again: "It's already dawn, why didn't you call me?"
Taoist Qingchen smiled and said, "There are five of us. If each of us keeps watch for a while, it will be dawn. Why should we trouble you?"
After saying that, he glanced down and said, "Looking at this posture, they are almost unable to fight."
Nangong Jiu raised his hand to dispel the barrier, jumped to the top of the tree, looked around, and returned to the branch: "Yes, they are about to disperse, everyone come and have something to eat, and prepare to collect the inner elixir.
There are quite a few inner pills this time, enough to keep us busy for half a day. Wait a minute, I have to set up a barrier to prevent anyone from stealing them."
After eating a little, they went to explore in several directions and came back saying, "The few survivors have all retreated."
"Okay, hard work pays off, let's move!"
Nangong Jiu jumped to the top of the tallest tree, raised his hand and set up a barrier that covered the entire canyon.
Only then did he get down from the tree and collect the inner elixir with everyone.
When the sun reached the middle of their heads, the group collected the inner elixir and returned to their residence.
Looking at the high-level demon beast inner cores piled on the stone table, Nangong Jiu said happily: "We harvested so many high-level inner cores without any effort this time. We are so lucky.
Everyone, hurry up and refine it. After refining, we will go find some monsters and monsters to fight a few good fights. Everyone will definitely improve."
Two days later.
Nangong Jiu first refined the inner elixir, then walked out of the cave alone and dealt with a few high-level monsters that were blind and took the initiative to provoke him, and then returned to the cave.
Taoist Master Qingchen was standing at the entrance of the cave waiting, and when he saw someone, he hurried forward to greet him.
Worried, he said, "Jiu Jun, why didn't you call Qingchen before you left? You're almost breaking through now, and you can't leave someone by your side."
"I saw that you were all concentrating on refining the inner elixir, so I didn't call you. I just wandered around here. I'm sorry that you worried. I will be more careful next time."
Qingchen's worry turned into joy: "Qingchen's cultivation has improved a lot, and he is about to break through."
"That's great. Let's go out tomorrow and find some more opponents to practice with."
Huiyuan brought the cooked porridge and said, "Jiu Jun, Huiyuan has also made great progress."
Xiao Wang and the others also finished refining their inner elixirs one after another. They were so happy that they rushed to Nangong Jiu and said, "We have made progress too!"
"Okay, go out and behave well tomorrow."
The next morning.
Nangong Jiu and his group appeared in the forest again.
But what was strange was that as we walked along, we didn’t see any magical beasts or monsters at all. The forest was completely silent.
"Strange! Where did all these guys go? This is too abnormal."
At this moment, a group of butterflies happened to fly by.
After listening to their conversation and thoughts, Nangong Jiu laughed and said, "It is said that a group of powerful people have come to the forest.
I'd like to see who is so powerful that he has caused all the demon beasts and monsters to hide, leaving only the fearless ones to run away to watch the fun."
Taoist Qingchen became alert: "Who could it be that is more feared by those demon beasts than us?"
"I don't know, but they say it's on the mountain ahead. Let's go join in the fun."
Nangong Jiu called everyone and quickly moved forward.
On a mountain in the magical forest.
The monsters and demons gathered halfway up the mountain, chattering and making a lot of noise. They wanted to go up but were a little hesitant to move forward.
When Nangong Jiu and his group arrived, they saw this situation and became even more curious.
"Who on earth could possibly make these guys so afraid?"
Xiao Wang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, let's go up and see who it is."
"Okay, go up in hiding!"
When the group reached the top of the mountain in stealth, they saw Nangong Xuan and his eight brothers leisurely eating barbecue with wild fruits.
"Brother, do you think Xiaojiu will be happy when he knows we are here?"
"Our presence here is nothing. If she knew that her parents were coming to train with her, she would definitely jump and shout for joy."
"Yes, Xiaojiu is almost back to 80% of his original state. This is a great joyous event for our Nangong family."
"This means that Lao Er can practice normally, and Xiao Jiu can occasionally visit the heavenly realm. We must accompany her in person to witness that exciting moment."
When Nangong Jiu heard this, his eyes unconsciously turned red and he appeared and stood in front of them.
"Brothers, I was wondering why the forest was so quiet today. It turns out you're here."
Nangong Xuan stood up with a smile: "Xiaojiu, you found us so quickly? We thought you would find us later.
Wait a minute, Mom and Dad will come too. Then we will all accompany you through the training."
"Dad, Mom, and brothers are the best!"
Nangong Jiu stepped forward and high-fived each of his brothers, then held one of Nangong Xuan's fingers and said, "Second brother, how have you been lately?"
"I'm fine. I can eat and sleep well! Look, I can even walk around in the Magic Forest. Don't stress yourself. Just train normally, and everything will fall into place."
"Well, I'm really happy to see you every day!"
Nangong Xuan pointed around.
"Do you still remember this place? This isn't the first time we've been here..."
