Mu Zihan spoke politely, but in his heart he was already thoroughly fed up.
He had just seen the Xuanling Sect disciple being chased and beaten by the Mighty Vajra Bear when he shot an arrow. The arrow struck the heart, and the Mighty Vajra Bear immediately went berserk, charging forward with bloodshot eyes.
When Qiu Zigen's weakling cultivators saw this, they were so frightened that their legs went weak and they couldn't move, or they turned around and ran away, completely lacking any fighting spirit.
In the end, only Qiu Zigen was left holding on.
With no other option, Mu Zihan and Ling Shuang led everyone to charge forward and engage the Mighty Vajra Bear in battle.
The Mighty King Kong Bear was tough and difficult to deal with, but fortunately, Mu Zihan's arrow was accurate, and with everyone's concerted efforts, the Mighty King Kong Bear was finally defeated.
Mu Zihan himself hadn't expected that the people they were desperately helping were actually cultivators from the Wuji Sect.
Mu Zihan's experience in the secret realm made him realize that the disciples of the Wuji Sect were nothing special.
“This Mighty Vajra Bear’s demon crystal…” Mu Zihan looked at Qiu Zigen.
Qiu Zigen's face was grim, but at this moment, he took a deep breath, suppressed the frustration in his heart, and said, "The Mighty Vajra Bear only has one demon crystal. How about this, I have ten fourth-tier demon crystals here as payment for your help?"
Mu Zihan raised an eyebrow and looked at the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators beside Qiu Zigen. He memorized their appearances one by one, and had already categorized them in his mind as a group not from the same sect.
“Since you’ve said so, we’ll accept it.” Mu Zihan looked at Ling Shuang beside him.
This time, Mu Zihan, Ling Shuang, and five former outer disciples formed a team, with Mu Zihan and Ling Shuang clearly leading the team.
“I have no objection,” Ling Shuang said.
Qiu Zigen took out ten fourth-tier demonic beast crystals and handed them over. They were a large, colorful bunch. Then he buried his head and began to dig out the demonic crystals of the Mighty Vajra Bear.
The Mighty Vajra Bear is only thick-skinned and tough, but its combat power is only average among fifth-tier monsters.
Its demon crystal is a pale yellow crystal, inside which is a miniature version of the Mighty Bear.
Qiu Zigen stored himself in his storage space, while Mu Zihan and Ling Shuang had already left with their people.
"Let's go!" Qiu Zigen said to the weak cultivator behind him.
But no one responded, so I turned my head to look.
Wow!
Of the remaining seven or eight weak cultivators who hadn't run away due to their weak legs, not one of them had actually disappeared.
Where are they?
All the cultivators followed behind Mu Zihan and Ling Shuang's group.
"Senior Brother Mu, please take us with you. We don't seek advancement, we just want to survive a little longer."
"Senior Sister Ling, we don't need to join the team, just let us follow along."
"I still have three demon crystals from third-tier demon beasts here."
"Yes, yes, I have four here."
...
Xi Ran followed behind, her feelings also quite complicated.
She paid the price of fifty years of her life to enter the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting, hoping to make a name for herself there. But who could have imagined that reality would be so cruel?
She had never even fought a third-tier monster, let alone a fifth-tier monster. When she saw the fifth-tier Mighty Vajra Bear, which was over ten meters tall, her legs went weak and she almost wet her pants.
Sigh, they're still trying to perform? It's already a miracle they weren't eliminated outright.
Mu Zihan's face was gloomy, and Ling Shuang's expression was not good either.
Logically speaking, since everyone is from the same sect, it is only right for them to help each other. However, these cultivators had previously been following Qiu Zigen.
Qiu Zigen is a cultivator of the Wuji Sect, so there must be some agreement between them and Qiu Zigen.
He didn't want them to come along at all.
"You can come along if you want, but you at least have to prove yourselves."
Ling Shuang turned around and looked at the cultivators.
"Prove yourself?"
“If you can take on a third-tier demon beast one-on-one and successfully extract its demon crystal, then you can join our team,” Ling Shuang said, raising an eyebrow.
ah?
Upon hearing this, Mu Zihan's brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips. He said, "We're going to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. We should encounter quite a few third-tier demonic beasts along the way."
"It's just a third-tier demonic beast, what's so great about it! We're at least Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. If we can't even deal with a third-tier demonic beast, what kind of cultivators are we!"
"That's right, our target is a fourth-tier demon beast."
...
Mu Zihan and Ling Shuang led their team toward the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Meanwhile, after half an hour of recuperation, Xuan Qingye had almost fully recovered.
Su Qing studied the simple map for a long time, and finally traced her finger in the direction of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
"How's the recovery going?" Su Qing asked without looking up.
“Eight or nine out of ten,” Xuan Qingye replied.
"How about we go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons? Judging from the name, there seem to be quite a lot of demonic beasts there," Su Qing said.
Xuan Qingye is now only thinking about following Su Qing, and doesn't care where they go.
"good."
As dawn broke, the two packed up and headed towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Along the way, we encountered several third-tier demonic beasts, which we easily dealt with.
Now, of the more than a thousand cultivators in the Myriad Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map, less than half remain. The cultivators who were eliminated in the first wave of fifth-tier demonic beast attacks felt ashamed when they first came out, but when they saw that so many people around them had been eliminated, they felt better and mingled with a group of outer and inner disciples to watch the live broadcast of the Myriad Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map.
Yun Luoyan pointed to the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting and said to Bai Xiao, "Look, everyone is heading towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons."
Bai Xiao nodded and said, "The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons—just from the name, it sounds like a place where demonic beasts gather. If it were me, I would also choose to go there."
"If only I had cultivated harder," Yun Luoyan said with regret.
Bai Xiao, however, didn't take it to heart, saying, "Hmph, I don't think so. So what if we've reached the Foundation Establishment stage? Will we be sent out by a single attack from a demonic beast like them? What's the rush? We've all consumed the Seabuckthorn Dragon Spirit Fruit, and now our spiritual roots are stable, allowing us to cultivate faster. We'll definitely shine in this selection competition next year."
“That’s right! The path of cultivation is long, and we’ve only just begun. There’s no need to rush.” Yun Luoyan nodded in agreement.
Protector Jiang and Protector Bai sat next to the Xuanling Sect Leader, their expressions even more unpleasant than the Leader's.
After Jiang Cheng and Bai Xintong teamed up, they were ambushed by a fifth-tier Bloodfang Boar. This Bloodfang Boar bared its two huge red tusks and charged towards the two of them.
Jiang Cheng brandished his longsword, aiming for the Bloodfang Boar's eyes. Bai Xintong, not to be outdone, swept through the air, aiming straight for the Bloodfang Boar's crown.
Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng's sword was blocked by the Bloodfang Boar's eyelids, and Bai Xintong's sword could not pierce the Bloodfang Boar's skull. Both of them were thrown away.
Then, the two got up from the ground and actually ran away together...
The nephew of Protector Jiang and the sister of Protector Bai were being chased wildly through the dense forest by a fifth-tier Bloodfang Boar.
How embarrassing! So incredibly embarrassing!
Look at Han Chen and Yu Kui as a team. Although they are being chased all over the mountains by a fifth-tier Ironback Giant Wolf, they have a strategy...
Then, the two saw Han Chen lose his footing, slide down the hillside, and crash headfirst into a large rock. He saw stars and was knocked unconscious.
Hmm, there must be some tactics involved.
