Warcraft Battlegrounds
Seeing Elder Jin storm off, Li Chang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Elder Jin, although this new disciple has offended you, he hasn't yet provided you with the methods for dealing with magical beasts, nor the necessary resources..."
In the end, Li Chang's expression was extremely obsequious.
Hearing this, Elder Jin gave Li Chang a gloomy look: "Take it. It's hard to say whether a disciple with no background like this can come back alive."
After saying that, Elder Jin suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Ruan Qingyu was swept away by spiritual power halfway when Wutong flew out of her storage bag. The azure light made a sound like a string being plucked through the air.
Instantly, the spiritual energy restraint that had consumed most of its power collapsed. She was able to break free of the restraints and plummet straight down from the sky.
The next moment, wings sprouted from Ruan Qingyu's back, allowing her to gracefully hover in mid-air. Looking around, she chose an open space and slowly landed.
Within her consciousness, Yun Yin, who had finally managed to contact Ruan Qingyu a day later, sent a message at that very moment: "Qingyu, the Soul Pill has disappeared. Are you alright?"
Although he could sense that her soul was still in good condition, five days had passed since the Soul Pill disappeared, and he had not heard any news from Ruan Qingyu.
Thinking of that unfamiliar question from before, Yun Yin asked somewhat nervously, "Qing Yu, you haven't really forgotten me, have you?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qingyu could almost picture his aggrieved expression, perhaps even with a few tears deliberately squeezed out of his beautiful purple eyes.
Ruan Qingyu was a little distracted. Thinking about how she had been dumped in such a place, she said decisively, "It's safe. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten."
Far away in the world of monsters, Yunyin was thrilled to finally receive a reply and climbed up two treetops of the mother tree before stopping.
She continued scratching at the tree: "When will you let me go?"
Wutong looked around and frowned, "I've never seen this place before." In fact, he had never seen this place, the Lesser Sacred Realm, before.
I thought that I could help Miss Ruan by coming here, but now it seems that I am just like Miss Ruan, with only a superficial understanding.
"It's alright, we'll just keep looking. If we can't find them, we'll just kill a few demonic beasts. If we happen to run into someone going back, we can bring them back to report." Ruan Qingyu had a pretty good idea of what Elder Jin was in the main hall.
Although things have changed somewhat from what she initially envisioned, since this Lesser Sacred Realm is considered a battlefield, it wouldn't hurt to have a battle first before returning to pay respects to her master.
After looking around, Ruan Qingyu simply chose a direction and walked forward. Since those magical beasts would attack anyone they saw, she figured that by leaving herself exposed, she would eventually run into one.
After hiking for about fifteen minutes, Ruan Qingyu sensed something unusual from the sound of the wind blowing behind her. She quickly turned around and saw a huge, ferocious beast with scarlet eyes charging towards her from afar.
The angry eyes were fixed on Ruan Qingyu. Seeing this, Ruan Qingyu took out her zither, the Wutong Zither. She quickly soared into the air, and just as the demonic beast stomped down, she stroked the strings with one hand.
The melodious strains of the zither flowed forth, their sound extremely pleasing to the ear. But when the red sound waves struck the demonic beast, three deep, bone-revealing bloody marks instantly appeared.
Although the magical beast had gone mad upon seeing the cultivator, it still reacted to pain. It suddenly let out a tremendous roar: 'Awooooo—'
Looking up at Ruan Qingyu, she became even more excited. The demonic beast had a triangular head that looked extremely hard. Now injured, it charged at Ruan Qingyu.
Seeing this, she immediately flapped her wings and flew to a higher position. Fortunately, although this magical beast was indeed as tall as a mountain, the height she could reach was ultimately limited.
After several unsuccessful attempts to reach Ruan Qingyu, the monster suddenly opened its massive jaws. A tongue tens of meters long shot out, nimbly wrapping around Ruan Qingyu's ankle. Caught off guard, Ruan Qingyu was given an opening by the monster.
Suddenly her whole body sank down, and she saw that the monster was trying to drag her down and swallow her whole.
Ruan Qingyu frowned deeply. The long, black, foul-smelling tongue on her ankle seemed to carry a sharp blade, constantly curling inwards around her ankle.
She tried to pull her foot, but it was difficult to move. Ruan Qingyu gritted her teeth, and golden-red phoenix fire suddenly burst forth from her ankle.
"Woo—" The monster suddenly retracted its tongue, but the Phoenix Divine Fire relentlessly followed the monster's tongue, enveloping the entire monster.
Instantly, the massive body of the demonic beast that had been so arrogant and had entangled Ruan Qingyu collapsed. The dust rose from the ground, and as it slowly settled, the demonic beast was finally reduced to ashes by the Phoenix Divine Fire.
Shaking her still somewhat numb ankle, Ruan Qingyu reached out and rubbed it. Only then did she have time to feel what had suddenly flown into her body after the magical beast turned to ashes.
After carefully sensing it and confirming that it had no effect on her body, Ruan Qingyu said with some surprise, "It was actually a fragment of space?"
Sensing that the Phoenix Divine Fire had a particular fondness for this spatial fragment, Ruan Qingyu simply said, "If you burn any magical beasts later, feel free to collect them."
Now, another piece of evidence has emerged that these demonic beasts originated from outside the cultivation world. Previously, a cultivator in the Lesser Saint Realm had asserted that these demonic beasts were definitely not from this world.
Now that this demonic beast has been burned by the Phoenix Divine Fire, there are still fragments of space remaining, which means that before coming to the cultivation world, this demonic beast had experienced space travel.
The token from the Lesser Saint Realm flashed, and a string of white text immediately appeared: High-level magical beast points acquired: 100 points.
Ruan Qingyu raised an eyebrow. This thing was quite sensitive, but she wondered if high-level magical beasts were easy or difficult to deal with. What could one hundred contribution points buy in the Lesser Saint Realm?
Having already clashed once, Ruan Qingyu had a plan in mind. She simply folded her wings and set off on the main road again.
Judging from the state of that magical beast just now, she was certain that she was like a piece of fresh meat hanging outside, which would definitely attract many magical beasts to come to her.
The phoenix tree floated beside her, its shadowy form somewhat ethereal. Now that he had arrived in this Lesser Sacred Realm, his cultivation progress had slowed considerably. The spiritual energy was too violent; he only possessed his divine soul and could not directly absorb it.
"Miss Ruan, can you still circulate your spiritual energy on your own?" Wutong asked with concern.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qingyu calmly sensed it for a moment, "My cultivation technique is of a high enough grade and is extremely suitable for me. Although it is not as fast as it is outside, it is still enough for me to control freely."
As a cultivation technique exclusively for the Phoenix bloodline, "Da Feng Tian" can automatically absorb the surrounding fire spiritual energy anytime and anywhere.
As the man and his soul were speaking, another rumbling sound came. Ruan Qingyu extended her divine sense and quickly saw two brown demonic beasts charging towards them.
Even more strangely, these two monsters were completely different from the triangular monsters they had just fought, not only in terms of fur color, but also in their appearance.
These two magical beasts looked smaller than the previous ones, but their scarlet eyes were exactly the same. Did these magical beasts know from birth that they were meant to eat people?
Ruan Qingyu kept thinking, but her body nimbly spread her wings, carrying herself into the sky. After confirming that the demonic beast couldn't catch her for the time being, she pulled the strings again and slowly released her fingers.
As the strings of the Wutong Qin were plucked, dozens of red halos flew toward the two demonic beasts. Then one of the beasts suddenly stopped and opened its mouth, spitting out a brownish-yellow wall.
The other magical beast was not idle either. A misty black aura suddenly appeared beneath its feet, and it charged towards Ruan Qingyu.
Seeing this, Ruan Qingyu, floating high in the sky, flapped her wings and changed locations three times before stopping. Her hands moved swiftly, continuing her musical attacks towards the two demonic beasts.
The clear, resonant notes of the zither, surprisingly, transformed into a musical piece amidst the relentless attacks. The phoenix tree hanging on Ruan Qingyu's shoulder was somewhat surprised, yet deeply comforted.
Wutongqin had followed him for many years, and it was good luck for her to find someone who could use her talents. Thinking this, Wutongqin couldn't help but chuckle, realizing that she was also lucky to have received Miss Ruan's help.
With gratitude in her heart, Wutong quietly waved her hand, and a hazy blue light shone on Wutongqin and also on Ruan Qingyu.
Instantly, the already powerful zither music became even louder, and the wounds inflicted on the monsters became even more terrifying.
Under the relentless pursuit, the two demonic beasts finally collapsed, letting out two mournful howls. However, this time they didn't obtain any spatial fragments. Just as Ruan Qingyu was wondering about this, the Phoenix Divine Fire flew out on its own.
A quarter of an hour later, only a pile of ashes remained on the spot, and when the divine fire flew back, it still brought back two fragments of space.
It seems that only the Phoenix Divine Fire can forge these spatial fragments? Ruan Qingyu looked at the fragments that the Phoenix Divine Fire had gathered, and saw that they were surrounded by a thick spiritual energy.
Compared to the violent spiritual energy in the Lesser Sacred Realm, this spiritual energy was much gentler, and the spiritual power it brought after being absorbed by the divine fire was more than twice that of the spiritual energy in the Lesser Sacred Realm.
It seems that the space where this magical beast used to reside must have been a sacred cultivation ground. Ruan Qingyu pulled herself out of her thoughts and looked at her token, where a line of text appeared: Mid-level magical beast, fifty points, total one hundred points.
Shaking her head, Ruan Qingyu thought that with so few points, it seemed that the items in the Little Saint Realm were not very expensive.
Since she could encounter many magical beasts in this direction, Ruan Qingyu simply continued to walk forward in this direction.
Along the way, she didn't forget to ask Wutong to help her observe whether there were any magical beasts she hadn't noticed.
What was originally a somewhat barren open area gradually transformed into mountains and forests as one progressed. It was clear that this small sacred realm was similar to an ordinary secret realm, except that there wasn't a single demonic beast to be seen along the way, nor even a hundred-year-old spiritual herb.
"Perhaps, if these magical beasts can't find human cultivators, they'll eat those demonic beasts and spiritual herbs together," Wutong deduced, listening to Ruan Qingyu's guess.
"They're here." Ruan Qingyu suddenly stopped and whispered. But this time, her eyes didn't look in the front or back; instead, she raised her head and looked up at the sky.
It seems she underestimated the monsters; she put away the zither she had been holding.
Suddenly, golden-red flames ignited in Ruan Qingyu's eyes, and the buzzing sound in her ears grew closer. The flames that ignited around her immediately stopped the first demonic beast that had charged forward.
What they saw were a group of enormous magical beasts, each with a pair of fleshy wings on its back, their scarlet veins clearly visible. The wings, when spread out, were almost twice the size of the beasts themselves.
And at this moment, there were five such magical beasts, a dark mass, in the sky.
