No one noticed that on a hill not far from Taotie Beast City, a young man in a black robe was sitting cross-legged. When He Gui and his eight companions sped away, he slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the eight people disappeared.
His eyes were slightly tired, and he looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Fortunately, I had the Tiangang Xuanhuang Flag, a top-grade spiritual treasure, to protect me. Otherwise, that night, even if I didn't die, I would have suffered serious injuries, which greatly damaged my vitality." Xue Kong secretly rejoiced that after his cultivation reached the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to fully exert the power of the Tiangang Xuanhuang Flag.
"The city lord who has reached the late Nascent Soul stage, haha, is the opportunity for me to improve my cultivation." He stood up slowly. Although he had injuries in his body, it was not serious.
Staring at the place where He Gui and eight others disappeared, Xue Kong pondered for a moment, then moved his body, flew into the air, and quickly chased after them.
He Gui and his eight companions all had quite good cultivation bases and were extremely fast. It took them only three hours to reach their destination, which was a hazy mountain range shrouded in white mist.
The mountain range winds forward like a dragon's spine across the uneven land, appearing from time to time from the white mist. In the distance of the mountain range is a dense forest.
The forest is full of towering ancient trees, lush and green, each one is extremely strong, exuding a primitive and natural atmosphere.
"Everyone, this is the place. The monster's cultivation is only in the early Nascent Soul stage. Kill it and we can divide its body. It will be of great value." Jiang Wenshan's eyes flashed, emitting a strong sense of anticipation.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang only told us that we were here to hunt the Nascent Soul demon beast, but he didn't explain in detail the identity of this demon beast or what dangers it poses."
"Although we are fully prepared, if we know nothing about the monster, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to cooperate during the hunting process." The few cultivators that Jiang Wenshan had just found looked at him.
Jiang Wenshan nodded and said, "I should have informed you in advance. This matter concerns the safety of all of our lives."
"I've only seen the identity of that demon beast in some ancient books, and I haven't fully confirmed it. I only know that it exists very old and seems to be an ancient ferocious beast."
"The demon beast hiding here is only a juvenile, but it has already reached the Nascent Soul stage and is quite powerful. Such a large demon, every inch of its body contains immense spiritual power, and it must be priceless."
"It's called the Qiong Snake. It's shaped like a dragon, with a long, hard body and twelve wings. It runs like thunder, controlling the power of the five elements. It can move mountains and fill the sea, swallow the stars and devour the sun. When encountering it, you must be extremely cautious. However, the most important thing to be wary of is its illusion ability."
"It can also perform illusions?" The only cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the late Jindan stage was an old man who was nearly 70 years old. His eyes seemed cloudy, but there seemed to be clouds and mist lingering around them, making it difficult to see his gaze clearly.
"That's right, but don't worry, I have my own way to break this illusion." Jiang Wenshan showed a very confident smile on his face.
The other three newly found Jindan cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment. Even though Jiang Wenshan said so, they were still unsure. The Qiong snake sounded very powerful. It was an ancient ferocious beast with many abilities and was not easy to deal with.
But it makes sense. If it was an easy-to-deal-with monster, Jiang Wenshan probably wouldn't have gathered so many cultivators.
Although monsters are naturally stronger than cultivators, they lack means. If cultivators are well prepared, they may be able to deal with them.
The group entered the white fog and stepped into this dangerous place, so they slowed down.
For some unknown reason, the Qiong Snake would not leave this place. However, it was possible that it would suddenly appear next to them. The eight of them all released their cultivation to prevent any accidents.
After flying forward for a hundred miles, Jiang Wenshan, who was at the front, suddenly raised his right hand and signaled everyone to stop.
His expression was solemn. He slapped his storage bag, took out a bright red round mirror, bit his tongue, and sprayed blood mist onto the mirror surface.
Soon, all the blood mist was absorbed by the mirror.
A layer of blood-red light curtain immediately appeared around the eight people, spreading out to a range of about five miles, and everything within the five-mile range was displayed on the mirror.
"Everyone be careful, the Qiong snake is nearby." Jiang Wenshan warned in a deep voice.
Just as he finished speaking, a hundred feet to the right of the eight people, white mist rolled up silently, and then gradually changed into a huge and ferocious head.
Before the head took shape, a shrill roar was heard in everyone's ears. As everyone stared, the ferocious head suddenly opened its huge mouth and swallowed them.
The person closest to the head was a female cultivator. Her face changed drastically. She waved her green sleeves and a long sword appeared in her hand. She swung it out and headed straight for the hideous head that was transformed from the white mist.
But at this moment, she heard Jiang Wenshan's loud shout: "That's not real, it's an illusion!"
The female cultivator was stunned.
He saw his sword directly pierce through the ferocious head of the monster, defeating it and turning it back into white mist.
"How could this happen!?" The female cultivator retracted her sword and turned to look at Jiang Wenshan. The others who were planning to take action also had serious expressions and looked at Jiang Wenshan together.
Jiang Wenshan shook his head. "I didn't see the silhouette of the Qiong Snake on the surface of my blood mirror. This is the Qiong Snake's illusion. It uses the mist in the air to create an illusion."
"Qiong Snake is proficient in the power of the five elements. Combined with the ability of illusion, it can use the five elements to transform into any form. But don't worry, these forms are just illusions and can't hurt us."
"With this blood mirror of mine, no illusion can escape my control."
After Jiang Wenshan's reminder, everyone suddenly realized and was even more surprised: "If it weren't for Brother Jiang's magic weapon that can restrain illusions, we would probably be unable to move forward."
"Indeed, this Qiong Snake is extremely powerful and can utilize the power of the five elements. Isn't it true that the entire world is under its control? It's truly astonishing."
"This ancient beast is only a juvenile. If it grows up, how terrifying will it be..."
He Gui's face showed no panic, but rather great excitement. He thought to himself, "Master, this Qiong Snake Demon Pill contains the power of the Five Elements. I will definitely get it for you and help you break through to the late Nascent Soul stage and reach the threshold of the Spiritual Transformation Realm!"
"The illusion is coming again." Someone shouted, and He Gui immediately looked up.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that all the white mist above the forest was approaching this side. The white mist was swirling and rolling, gradually changing into the shape of monsters.
At a glance, there were thirteen such monsters formed by the white fog, standing around them, each raising its huge head and staring at them with cold eyes.
Being stared at by thirteen ferocious monsters, even though they knew that these were all illusions, this group of Jindan cultivators couldn't help but feel a little scared and wanted to leave here.
"No! There is a real one in here!" Just when everyone relaxed, Jiang Wenshan suddenly shouted, shocking everyone and making them pay extra attention.
But Jiang Wenshan's next words made them shudder. Even Che Xinyu, He Gui and Yanhuo Taoist felt a chill all over their bodies.
"Impossible! These thirteen-headed snakes are all real!!!" Jiang Wenshan roared in horror.
“…”
