Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. The only thing that could cause countless spirit beasts to run and trigger a violent beast tide in advance could probably only be a divine beast with ancient bloodline! Yes, only this kind of species could have such a heavenly power!
"But aren't the habitats of divine beasts usually in secret places like the inner circle?" Mu Huan remembered that she had obtained the divine artifact, the bamboo leaf xiao, in the inner circle of the Yundou Great Forest last time.
But speaking of this, Mu Huan seems to have never used it until now.
She closed her eyes and thought about it. Brother Mu had clearly told her some common sense about the Youshan Mountains before they came. Why did her brain get stuck at the critical moment?
"Oh right! There's a very deep ditch at the outermost part of the Youshan Mountains!" But Mu Huan thought about it and always felt that something was not right. Would a species like the divine beast, which is so arrogant, commit suicide by living in a ditch?
"Never mind, let's go check it out!" After waiting for about a cup of tea, the herd finally passed by. Mu Huan patted his chest, feeling relieved after a near miss!
After jumping down from the tree, Mu Huan no longer cared about the two brothers Canglong and Canghu behind him, letting them do whatever they wanted.
Following the dense footprints left by the beasts, Mu Huan followed them. After following for a distance, she realized that, as she expected, judging by the footprints on the ditch, all the spirit beasts must have jumped in at the call.
Mu Huan stuck his head out and took a few looks. The ditch was bottomless and dark, and he didn't know what danger it might be.
However, people are very curious and are always eager to explore new and unknown things.
Gritting his teeth, he hardened his heart! "No venture, no gain!" Mu Huan murmured, trying to comfort himself.
He took another look, closed his eyes and jumped.
However, what Mu Huan didn't expect was that the ditch that looked so deep and bottomless from above actually felt only a little high when he jumped down.
The ground in the ditch was damp mud, and the two enclosed walls occasionally dripped water. This intermittent sound added an eerie feeling to Mu Huan's ears, making him feel uneasy.
Without firelight, Mu Huan could only suppress the discomfort of the wet things in his heart, holding on to the wall and exploring forward step by step.
This place was different from the outside world. Everything was unknown, and Mu Huan couldn't guarantee what would happen. However, the only thing he could do now was to stay vigilant at all times to save his life.
After walking for a while, the sound of dripping water grew louder, dripping onto Mu Huan's hands as she held onto the wall. The dampness around her also grew heavier. She didn't know if it was Mu Huan's imagination, but she felt that the closer she got to the inside, the colder it got.
This kind of cold is not like the bone-chilling cold in extremely cold places. It is more like a gloomy cold that strikes directly into the heart and makes people feel creepy.
At this time, the elders who were supposed to sit solemnly in their seats and watch the battle were thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of the beast tide.
"Dean, wasn't it calculated that the beast tide would break out in a month? How come it suddenly happened earlier?" Looking at Liang Ci who had disappeared since the beast tide appeared, Guiqi held his forehead with his hand. What was going on?
"Maybe that thing has woken up!" Youtong's face was rarely solemn, and his tone was low.
"Quickly dispatch instructors from each academy to the Youshan Mountains and bring back every child." Youtong stood with his hands behind his back, calm and composed in the face of danger. It was this trait that had inspired the arrogant elders of the academy to follow him.
Naturally, the elders did not dare to slack off in the slightest and immediately conveyed their orders to their subordinates.
Youtong looked solemnly towards the Youshan Mountains. Those children were the hope of the Xiuling Continent! They absolutely could not be annihilated by that beast.
"I told you long ago to ignore those beastly bastards from the upper realm. I promised to help them seal the Ice-Horned Demon Dragon in the Youshan Mountains. But you refused to listen. Now look what happened. The seal must have been loosened."
Yuze was so angry that all her previous images almost collapsed at this moment! Her beautiful face was full of atmosphere.
"Don't be impatient! Maybe it's not necessarily that beast who caused this!" Guiqi was also timid on the side. What a joke! He didn't dare to confront the female devil Yuze. If he did, he would be skinned alive!
The people at the academy were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, while Mu Huan's side was very quiet.
She had been walking for a long time, but there was no end in sight. Time slipped away bit by bit, and Mu Huan's last bit of patience was almost exhausted.
"It's so annoying. I clearly saw them jumping down, how come they disappeared in just a moment?" She continued to move forward slowly. She would not back down at the critical moment. She had to see what the hell this species that commanded all the beasts was.
Gradually, some light came in. Mu Huan rubbed his eyes uncomfortably and glanced down at his feet, which nearly frightened him to death.
Bones, all bones.
The scattered remains of spirit beasts sent a chill down Mu Huan's spine. It turned out the so-called beast tide jumping into the ditch was nothing more than offering oneself to others as a meal! Those beasts in there weren't spirit beasts, but rather ferocious and vicious beasts!
Although she was scared, curiosity overcame the fear in her heart and supported Mu Huan to move forward. She wanted to see what the hell this thing was.
Who knew that as soon as she took a step forward, her wrist was pulled back by another cold hand. Mu Huan almost screamed out, but fortunately the person covered her mouth with his other hand in time to prevent her from screaming.
"Don't scream!"
The familiar voice, still as deep and recognizable as before, was instantly recognizable. Glancing at the person in front of him, it was undoubtedly Liang Ci.
Mu Huan blinked at Liang Ci, signaling him to stop covering her mouth.
"Master!" Mu Huan called softly. Their bodies were very close, almost touching. Their breaths intertwined, and for a moment Mu Huan felt a little hot, especially his face, as if he had a fever.
"Don't move!" Liang Ci put one hand around Mu Huan's, gently half-wrapped Mu Huan's waist, and hugged her close to him. Mu Huan was so close that he could even look up and see Liang Ci's long, fluttering eyelashes, and down below, the protruding Adam's apple.
She couldn't look at it anymore. She had already been coveting the beauty of her beautiful master, and now she was so close to her, if she continued to think about it, she wouldn't be in any danger.
"Why is Master here?" Perhaps because he was a little too close, Mu Huan looked a little unnatural, so he had to take the initiative to change the subject to defuse the awkward situation.
"A sudden outbreak of a beast tide, totally unexpected!" He spoke in a hoarse and low voice, as if deliberately lowering it, but it unexpectedly made Mu Huan feel a special kind of temptation!
"Isn't the beast tide part of the assessment?" Mu Huan was a little surprised by this. She had thought the academy was already so powerful that they could control the beast tide.
"No, I can't do it!" She looked down at Mu Huan in her arms. Why was her face so red?
