In a secluded spot, Lou Xiaotian hid in a tree, peering into a cave not far away.
Not long ago, he discovered a spiritual herb growing in the cave. Natural treasures usually have guardian beasts, and the guardian beast of this spiritual herb was a raging wind lion.
This lion is known for its speed, and its cultivation level is at the late Golden Core stage, which is one realm higher than Lou Xiaotian's. Lou Xiaotian originally intended to outsmart it.
Before they could even make a move, another monster appeared here.
When the spiritual herb matured, it attracted other demonic beasts to fight over it, and so the two demonic beasts started fighting in the cave.
You can hear a rumbling sound inside, and you can vaguely hear lightning flashing around.
Lou Xiaotian could guess the outcome; the lion would definitely win.
Because the later monster was a flying monster, its species determined that it couldn't fully utilize its strengths in the cave.
Sure enough, after a mournful cry, a wounded thunder eagle flapped its nearly broken wings and fled in a sorry state.
After watching the defeated leave, Lou Xiaotian quietly slipped down.
As the saying goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," he wanted to be that oriole.
Inside the cave, the raging wind lion was licking its wounds after suffering severe injuries, while not far from it, a white spiritual herb caught the eye.
Lou Xiaotian crept over quietly and then launched an attack on the Gale Lion.
The violent spiritual energy caught the Gale Lion off guard.
Although Lou Xiaotian's cultivation level wasn't that high, he had quite a few good things in his possession.
This sneak attack successfully captured the lion and also yielded the spiritual herb.
Having put the items away and relaxed, Lou Xiaotian had just stepped out of the cave when he saw several birds perched on a tree ahead, watching him for who knows how long.
A few tail feathers are a bright red, with a hint of flame.
A very beautiful bird.
Lou Xiaotian admired it for a few moments, then saw the Fiery Sparrow swooping down on him.
"No!"
That speed was even faster than the Gale Lion.
Don't let its small size fool you; this Firebird is incredibly sharp in attack.
Outnumbered and outmatched, Lou Xiaotian fled in terror.
After running for a while, Lou Xiaotian belatedly realized that these firebirds were not trying to kill him, but were instead driving him in some direction.
Lou Xiaotian, who desperately wanted to rebel, shamefully yielded when he met those beady green eyes.
"Stop pecking at me, okay? I'll go with you."
Lou Xiaotian took out a teleportation device to contact Qin Zhan, trying to get the other party to come and save him.
At this moment, Qin Zhan was working for Lu Wu and ignored the messages on Yijietong.
In fact, Lou Xiaotian was not the only cultivator who encountered the Fiery Sparrow.
Throughout the entire secret realm, wherever there are people, there will be Firebirds.
Following their leader's instructions, they drove these humans in the same direction, and as they walked, they encountered some of them along the way.
Some people looked disheveled and clearly had a tough time in the secret realm, while others looked radiant and had reaped a great harvest.
However, these people have one thing in common: their bodies are filled with excessive fire and toxins, their eyes are red, and they look like they are about to go into a state of demonic possession.
Jiang Yunhe was among them.
The fire poison in the Fiery Realm has left Jiang Yunhe temporarily helpless.
Even the medicinal herbs found in the secret realm contained a large amount of violent fire-attribute spiritual power, making them temporarily unusable.
After being found by the Firebird, Jiang Yunhe originally had a chance to leave.
But he noticed something was wrong.
The fire poison on these firebirds is very weak.
Perhaps there was something in the place where the other party lived that could restrain the fire poison, which is why Jiang Yunhe accepted the Firebird's drive away.
If Lu Wu had a map, she would have noticed that more and more people were heading towards her from the inside out of the entire secret realm.
The human activity attracted the attention of some monsters along the way.
The demonic beasts were extremely wary of the existence of the Fiery Sparrow.
As long as there are humans being watched by the Firebird, those demonic beasts dare not make a move.
All the demonic beasts capable of cultivation have developed sentience.
They couldn't quite understand why that flock of birds, who loved killing beasts the most, had gone mad today.
To find out, a group of monsters also secretly followed behind, wanting to investigate.
At the stone tablet, a new batch of ice jelly has been prepared.
Lu Wu then took out two more ice-attribute spirit stones to cool down.
Qin Zhan, who was standing to the side, accepted Lu Wu's reward without hesitation, which was just a few bowls of ice jelly.
There were no guests yet, so Lu Wu pointed to the stone tablet and gestured to Qin Zhan, inviting him to go inside and find his own opportunity.
Qin Zhan had been curious about the stone tablet for a long time, but Boss Lu's safety was more important.
Now that Lu Wu had spoken, Qin Zhan, itching to get his hands on the stone tablet, walked over, touched it, and disappeared from Lu Wu's sight.
Lu Wu thought the other party would not come out for a while.
Just as I was about to call Huo Huo over so she could pet her, a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
If Lu Wu hadn't reacted quickly and dodged, he would have been smashed into mincemeat.
Upon closer inspection, the person in freefall was none other than Qin Zhan.
"?"
Lu Wu expressed her doubts through her facial expressions.
Second...man?
Qin Zhan's face flushed red and then paled as he read the meaning in Lu Wu's eyes.
He opened his mouth, stammered for a long time, and then told Lu Wu the reason.
"After I went inside, I found a skeleton. The skeleton was full of spiritual energy, so I thought I'd take a look. But before I even got close, I was kicked away by the skeleton."
Then it came out.
Qin Zhan touched his buttocks.
He was too embarrassed to say that the skeleton had appeared behind him and given him a solid thud on the buttocks.
There's no way to avoid it.
It hurts so much right now, and I can't use my spiritual power to get rid of the pain.
Qin Zhan, grimacing, used body language to express his painful experience.
"Were those bones alive?"
Lu Wu was relieved that she hadn't gone near him.
"It's not alive, but it has a wisp of a soul left behind, and it only acts on instinct."
According to his observation, that wisp of remnant soul wouldn't last long either.
If I'm not mistaken, that cave is the center of the entire secret realm, and it's only because the bones are gradually disappearing that this secret realm has been revealed.
Qin Zhan tried again, but was refused entry.
Having gained nothing but a thud on his backside, Qin Zhan composed himself and started to smile.
Feeling deeply sympathetic, Lu Wu comforted the other person for a few moments before seeing a figure appear on the left.
Lu Wu roused himself.
Her potential clients have arrived!
"Okay, stop pecking at me, I'm leaving now, aren't I?"
The sound carried by the wind made Lu Wu raise an eyebrow. She could see several fiery birds flying above the other person's head.
The fiery birds drove the human cultivators toward her.
"Chirp!"
Huo Huo and Lu Wu are inseparable.
Humans, birds attract customers for you.
The bird will cherish you.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist. It's fate that we meet. Would you like a bowl of ice jelly?"
Lu Wu picked up the bowl of ice jelly and greeted them warmly.
The visitor was a complete stranger and naturally had no idea of the existence of Boss Lu, this living advertisement.
He glanced at Lu Wu and Qin Zhan, then at the stall that seemed out of place in this place, his expression a complex mix of emotions.
