Chapter 246 Eighth-Order Monster Appears
Before long, two more groups of people were teleported out. Ming Cang saw that they were disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Beast Taming Sect, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I know my disciple is not weak, I am still worried in my heart.
A furious voice came from the Wan Jian Sect. It was Shangguan Lin, his face ashen with rage, who was berating the disciples who had been wiped out.
Upon closer listening, they learned that they had been ambushed by the Tianfeng Sect and the Qingyang Sect. Not only were they severely beaten, but they also lost the demon cores they had painstakingly obtained.
"Daddy...keep going..." Ye Xi murmured as she lay asleep in the chair, occasionally scratching her little belly, while Yu Xian'er next to her yawned, looking sleepy.
Mingcang said, "Xian'er, take them back to rest."
Yu Xian'er looked at the crystal screen for a moment and nodded. She patted the sleepy Nan Yaoyao, picked up Ye Xi, and left the venue together.
Within the secret realm.
Ye Luo sat on the rock and looked at the sky, feeling a little puzzled. Why hadn't those three cubs returned after all this time?
Tsk, could something have happened?
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a beastly roar, and two figures, one red and one black, of fire lizards appeared in the sky. "Thank goodness, I thought they were dead..."
"Huh?" Suddenly he saw something silvery in Hei Bao's claws, and as it flew closer, he exclaimed, "Damn, it's a Silver Horned Heavenly Python!"
Isn't that one of Ling Shu's spirit beasts? How did it get caught by Hei Bao?
Suddenly, Ye Luo couldn't help but gasp. Could it be that these two fire lizard cubs had taken care of the Beast Taming Sect's spirit pet?!
"You two, get down here right now!"
Ye Luo flew high into the sky and waved to the two circling fire lizards. They let out a low growl and excitedly swooped down, dropping the silver-horned celestial python to the ground with a "thud".
"..."
Upon seeing this, Ye Luo went over to examine it and found that it was badly injured. So she asked, "Did you two hurt it?"
Hearing Ye Luo's somewhat cold tone, the two fire lizards shook their heads violently. The fluffy Nine Nether Bird flew over and landed on his shoulder, explaining, "Master, they didn't hurt you. We met them on the road and picked them up along the way."
"On the way?"
"Uh-huh!"
Ye Luo took out some medicine and fed it to the Heavenly Python. It slowly opened its beastly eyes and happily rubbed against Ye Luo, but was swatted away by the little Azure Dragon wrapped around her wrist with its tail spiritual power.
"Hey, hey, don't hit it!"
Ye Luo comforted the displeased little azure dragon, then looked at the celestial python lying on the ground with a look of grievance in its eyes, and asked, "How did you get so badly injured? Where is your master, Ling Shu?"
Its huge beastly eyes were filled with anger as it hissed and spoke a string of words. Ye Luo listened with a blank expression, so he asked, "Xiao Jiu, can you translate this for me?"
Nine Nether Sparrow: "Master, it said that they were attacked by the Heavenly Wind Sect, and then their group was scattered. In their escape, they accidentally wandered into the swamp forest and fought a great battle with those monsters."
"And where is your owner?"
Seeing the silver-horned celestial python shake its head, Ye Luo became even more worried. She patted the python on the ground and said, "Take me to see it quickly. I want to see what kind of monster it is!"
Upon hearing this, the Silver Horned Python nodded, shrunk its body, coiled itself around Ye Luo's hand, and flew away into the distance with the others.
Before long they arrived at their destination. Ye Luo sat steadily on Hong Bao's back, looking down at the swampy forest below. However, all she could see was a misty haze, making it impossible to discern the exact situation.
The miasma was faintly visible, and the mud pit contained the corpses of various sizes of monsters, demonstrating the formidable strength of the beasts here.
"What kind of monsters are inside? How many are there in total?" Ye Luo asked.
The silver-horned serpent pondered for a moment, then hissed at him a few times. After listening, the Nine Nether Sparrow replied, "It said it couldn't see clearly at all. It seemed to be a five-headed snake-like demon beast, with very strange movements and perfect coordination."
"Didn't you see clearly?" Ye Luo looked at the forest and swamp below, looking somewhat troubled.
Nan Muyin flew over on her sword and said, "Junior brother, this swamp is indeed a bit strange. Senior brother will go and find out where the monster is, and also look for that girl Ling Shu."
"Okay, then Senior Brother, you take Black Treasure with you. Its sense of smell is more sensitive, but I don't know if it will work on aquatic monsters."
"All right."
Ye Luo gestured to Hei Bao, which then flew onto Nan Muyin's shoulder, and the two of them fled downwards.
Ye Luo waved his hand and released the Heavenly God No. 1, then said to Feng Yue and Xiao Huan, "Fourth Senior Brother, take Senior Brother Xiao and the others to the ship and activate the protective array to prepare, just in case."
"Um!"
After Ye Luo made all the arrangements, Yu Qianling and Cen Feng jumped onto Hong Bao's back, ready to fight at any time.
After waiting for a long time without any movement, just as Ye Luo was about to activate the magical artifact on her wrist to make contact, a hoarse roar suddenly came from the miasma below.
Immediately afterwards, Nan Muyin flew out with Ling Shu on her shoulder and shouted to Ye Luo and the other two, "You all get on the boat!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than several energy orbs shot out from the miasma and hurtled towards them.
Seeing this, Ye Luo patted Hong Bao and instantly shrunk her huge body, barely avoiding the sudden attack.
The three hurriedly flew to the ship, and the ball of light relentlessly attacked, but it was all blocked by the magic array on the warship. Then came a roar of resentment and anger.
Nan Muyin put the unconscious Ling Shu down from her shoulder. She saw that Ling Shu was disheveled and covered in bloodstains, indicating that she had just suffered a lot.
Ye Luo squatted down to examine her spiritual veins and found that she had simply exhausted her spiritual energy. Only then did he feel relieved and fed her some pills.
A moment later, Ling Shu slowly opened her eyes, and the instant she saw Ye Luo, tears streamed down her face.
"Waaaaah, Brother Ye..."
Ling Shu hugged Ye Luo tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, "Little Flower is dead... It was eaten by that monster while protecting me, waaaaah!"
Ye Luo recalled the golden-striped tiger that had advanced to the next level, and a look of sadness appeared on his face. He patted her on the back and comforted her, "Alright, don't cry, don't cry. I'll kill it for you!"
"Um……"
Ye Luo asked, "Where are the others from your sect?"
"We encountered the Tianfeng Sect. I don't know what kind of technique Bai Ruoqian used, but it drove our spirit beasts mad, or they became completely uncontrollable... Helpless, I took my two senior brothers and fled into the forest to rest. But then we unexpectedly ran into that monster..."
"Waaaah, those two senior brothers didn't even have time to react before they were swallowed whole..."
Ye Luo wiped away her tears, "Then why didn't you crush the jade slip?"
"Waaaa, I was so scared and panicked that when I came to my senses, I felt numb all over and couldn't move at all... When Little Flower saw this, she panicked and took me away and hid me... Waaaa, and then it was gone..."
After pondering for a moment, Yu Qianling said, "It seems that the monster can also use poison, making it very troublesome."
Xiao Huan lay on the edge of the boat, peering down below, and said in a trembling voice, "I... I think that aura is quite eerie. What kind of monster is it? We can't see anything in this thick fog."
Nan Muyin said, "I just fought with it. It looks like it's a five-headed Yin-Subduing Flood Dragon, and it's a demon beast that has cultivated to the eighth level. It just doesn't seem to have undergone the tribulation of lightning yet."
"Five heads?" Ye Luo pondered for a moment and then realized, "So, what the Heavenly Python saw wasn't five demonic beasts, but actually just one."
Yu Qianling said, "But that eighth-order demon beast is equivalent to the strength of the early Nascent Soul stage, and with the terrain below that is advantageous to it, it will be difficult to kill it."
Ye Luo looked down at the misty swamp forest below, a chilling glint in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "It must die no matter what!"
"Junior Brother, what do you want to do first?" Nan Muyin asked, and after hesitating for a moment, she said, "Why don't my Third Junior Sister and I go down and kill it? It will only take some effort."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Luo said, "No, it has been hiding in the miasma and dares not come out. It is obviously trying to lure us in. Besides, this monster can use poisonous tricks. There is no need to take that risk."
"Then what should we do?" Cen Feng asked. "This stalemate can't go on forever."
"Isn't its advantage based on the miasma below? Let's blow it up and see where it hides!" Ye Luo turned to the crowd and said.
"Fourth Senior Brother, fire the seven cannons on the side of the ship later. The three of you take turns loading spirit stones to charge them up. I'll add a fire-attribute magic array to the cannons and see if they can still hide!"
"Eldest brother, third sister, fifth brother, you all stay around and wait for an opportunity to act. Keep an eye on its movements and don't let it get away."
"Hmm, okay, this is safer, but it does consume more spirit stones." Nan Muyin chuckled.
"Safety first." After saying that, Ye Luo summoned several array flags, which instantly circled the approximate location where the monsters below were hiding. "It's safe now, let's begin."
With a flick of his sleeve, he tossed out several boxes of spirit stones. Feng Yue activated the long cannon on the side of the ship and quickly loaded the spirit stones into it. "Junior brother, it's all ready."
"Wait a minute, I'll add a magic array to whichever cannon, and that's the one you fire!"
Xiao Huan, looking eager to try, chuckled and said, "Alright!"
Ye Luo summoned the array plate, infused it with spiritual power, and activated the fire attribute of the ten-prism within her body, instantly forming a fire-enhanced magic array. "Release!"
"Boom—!" With a loud bang, a powerful beam of energy shot out instantly, exploding in the swamp of trees and burning the surrounding trees with fire energy.
"Release it again!!"
Immediately afterwards, Ye Luo manipulated the array plate to form a magic array in sequence, and then fired five more cannons in succession, almost leveling everything that could be covered below. The raging fire burned everything away and dispelled all the miasma that had been covering it.
"Roar—!"
The scorching mud became scalding and dried up, and the five Hidden Yin Dragons that had been hiding below emerged uncomfortably, their ten ferocious beastly eyes glaring at them.
Ye Luo stood on the edge of the boat, looking down at it, and said coldly, "You beast, you have good eyes. I'll take you!"
"Humans, cease your arrogance!"
