Zhan Yihan raised his hand and summoned a ball of fire. The scorpions on the ground were instantly turned into nothingness under the attack of the flames.
"Can I follow you guys first? I'll leave once I find a suitable place to practice," Mo Xiaobing looked at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan expectantly. She hadn't expected the seemingly peaceful desert to harbor so many dangers. Fortunately, she had these two powerful beings around. Otherwise, even if she could kill a few scorpions, she would have ended up being their food.
"Okay." Su Jinyue nodded. Mo Xiaobing was just a little timid, but she had a good heart.
"Thank you!" Mo Xiaobing thanked them gratefully. She wanted to follow them, but she felt a little guilty. When Wei Yuanxing was being oppressed by a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, she had hidden behind him without saying a word. She had considered standing up for Wei Yuanxing, just like Qu Tianyang, but her cultivation level was even lower than Wei Yuanxing's. How could she possibly do that?
The group walked forward. Apart from the scorpions that kept running out of the sand, there was no other danger along the way.
"Is that a mirage ahead?" Wei Yuanxing exclaimed in delight upon seeing a patch of lush green trees and a clear lake in the desert. He had heard of mirages before, but this was the first time he had seen one.
"That's real," Zhan Yihan said as he withdrew his spiritual sense. At first, he thought it was a mirage, but after scanning with his spiritual sense, he realized that the trees were actually tangible.
"Let's take a look." Wei Yuanxing walked forward excitedly. He came here to gain experience and seek opportunities. Maybe there would be an opportunity in that oasis.
As everyone got closer to the oasis, the spiritual energy they felt became increasingly richer.
Mo Xiaobing looked at the oasis with a burning gaze. The spiritual energy here was so rich that she planned to stay here to cultivate.
Walking into the oasis, I saw that it was full of spiritual herbs, all of which were around level five or six.
"There are so many spiritual herbs. Let's put them away first. If other people come, we won't be able to pick them." Qu Tianyang and Mo Xiaobing looked at the spiritual herbs in front of them excitedly. In the past, in Fenglan Country, even finding a third-level spiritual herb was as difficult as going to heaven. But now, there are tracts of spiritual herbs in front of them, and they are all fifth- or sixth-level spiritual herbs. They feel that coming here this time is really a direct opportunity.
"Su Jinyue, aren't you an alchemist? Why don't you go pick these spiritual herbs?" Seeing that Su Jinyue had no intention of picking the spiritual herbs, Wei Yuanxing asked curiously.
"These spiritual herbs are too low-level. I don't need them," Su Jinyue said with a smile. Her Golden Leaf Realm was filled with countless spiritual herbs, including more than a dozen ninth-level spiritual herbs. Naturally, she wouldn't even consider these.
"You're awesome!" Wei Yuanxing gave Su Jinyue a thumbs-up and walked towards the patch of spiritual herbs. Although he wasn't an alchemist, these spiritual herbs could be exchanged for spiritual stones. What he lacked most right now was cultivation resources.
"You guys stay here, we'll go take a look inside." Wei Yuanxing raised his hand and threw out the formation flag, setting up a formation. As long as no formation masters superior to him came, Wei Yuanxing and his men would be fine.
"Okay!" Wei Yuanxing picked the spiritual herbs and put them into his storage ring. After Zhan Yihan and the others arrived, he put the storage ring on his finger again.
Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue walked towards the depths of the oasis, throwing out battle flags as they walked. It seemed peaceful here, but danger was hidden.
When they reached the lake, Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue stopped.
"Jin Yue, you step back first." Zhan Yihan stared at the center of the lake. The dangerous aura came from here.
"Yeah." Su Jinyue nodded and took a few steps back. With Yihan around, she could completely trust her safety to him.
Zhan Yihan summoned the Xuanyuan Sword and thrust it towards the lake, slashing down with a brilliant and powerful sword beam.
An angry roar came from the lake, and then a giant beast emerged from the water.
The giant beast was shaped like a snake, with two silver horns on its head. Its eyes were like two small lanterns flashing with angry flames. It glared at Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue, "Damn humans! I'm going to eat you." It was a level five spirit beast, and its strength was equivalent to that of a human cultivator in the God Transformation Stage. However, spirit beasts have their own advantages, and even human cultivators of the same level could not be its opponents.
Zhan Yihan curled his lips slightly, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword once again. Countless powerful sword beams lashed out at the behemoth. He attacked the beast because it had been observing them with its divine sense ever since they arrived at the oasis. Rather than waiting for it to strike, he might as well strike first.
"Yi Han!" Su Jinyue saw that the time was almost right, and shouted to Zhan Yi Han. Seeing Yi Han retreat, she raised her hand and scattered the formation flags. Yi Han had already set up the formation, and she scattered the formation flags now to activate it.
At the same time that Zhan Yihan retreated to Su Jinyue's side, the formation was activated at the same time, emitting bursts of terrifying roars.
The giant beast, which had not yet reacted to the sword light, was directly bombarded with wounds all over its body by the subsequent formation. It roared loudly in anger, but was unable to break free from the formation.
Su Jinyue threw out another formation flag, and as it landed, the formation surrounding the giant beast exploded. The self-destruction of a seventh-level formation was not something a fifth-level spirit beast could withstand.
When the explosion of the formation passed, all that remained on the lake was the corpse of the giant beast that had been blown into pieces.
"I'll go down and take a look." Zhan Yihan cast a few water-clearing spells, and the lake water, which had been in a mess, immediately returned to its previous clarity.
"I'll go down with you." Su Jinyue held Zhan Yihan's hand.
Zhan Yihan smiled helplessly yet dotingly, "Let's go." Although he had cleaned the lake water, it was still contaminated by the blood of a giant beast. He was afraid that Jin Yue would not be able to adapt, so he planned to go down alone.
The two men walked out of the lake, set up a water barrier, and slowly dived down.
The lake was so deep that it was impossible to see the bottom. It took Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan almost ten minutes to finally dive to the bottom of the lake.
"There is a formation there that blocks spiritual consciousness. Let's go and take a look." Zhan Yihan took Su Jinyue's hand and walked towards the direction of the formation.
Soon, they arrived in front of the formation.
"This is an eighth-level formation." Su Jinyue said after observing it with his spiritual sense.
Zhan Yihan nodded and said, "It looks like it's going to take some effort to break this formation." He and Jin Yue were both seventh-level formation masters. Although this shielding formation was only one level higher, it would not be easy to break it with their current level of formation skills.
