She traveled southwest, intending to bypass the peaks of Laoye Ridge.
We were crossing a valley, but when we sat down to rest, we realized that there wasn't a sound in the woods at all. In broad daylight, there wasn't even a single bird in sight; it was eerily quiet.
She felt a little uneasy and became cautiously vigilant, maximizing her ability to conceal herself in the shadows of the trees while carefully observing her surroundings.
It seems like it gets dark faster in the woods than outside. I thought it was afternoon just now, but now there's only a faint light left.
Ajahn used his vine magic to wrap himself up, and then his body slowly sank into the ground.
I planted myself in the ground like a seed, leaving only a small gap to check on things.
As expected, Ajahn Chah's decision was correct. Before long, a strong wind howled through the forest, so fierce that it ripped countless branches and leaves off the trees.
Then two black bear-like monsters emerged from the forest, followed by several strange-looking beasts. They ran and knocked down countless trees. After they passed, the wind gradually stopped.
Many snakes, insects, and rodents emerged from nowhere and began to forage for food. In an instant, the stench of blood spread through the forest. A-Jiang also heard several screams coming from afar, perhaps from his fellow disciples whom he had seen before.
"Phew, that was close! A fragile Qi Refining cultivator like me couldn't withstand that!"
Ah Jiang was still shaken, feeling that this secret place was far too dangerous, and that he would have to be even more careful in the future.
The next morning, when the sunlight pierced through the branches and shone on the ground, Ah Jiang finally emerged from the soil.
Looking at the tracks left by the demonic beasts from yesterday, she was a little puzzled. With such a display of power yesterday, it would have been impossible for anyone less than a sixth-level demon. It seemed that this place was more dangerous than she had imagined.
With zero practical experience, she had to be extremely careful in this situation, and even if she gained nothing, she had to save her life.
She decided to get as far away from the trail as possible, so she slightly changed direction and flew towards a nearby hilltop.
After a day's journey with little to show for it, A Jiang found a hillside that night, carefully carved out a cave, hid inside, and sealed the entrance with an earthen wall spell.
He set up the recommended defensive formations inside the cave and studied the map to figure out his next move.
In the middle of the night, the sounds of fighting rang out outside the cave, and at the same time, a sound similar to the mooing of a cow exploded in his ears, making Ah Jiang dizzy.
What is this?
Ah Jiang was so shocked by the sound that he rolled around a few times before recovering.
Just as Ajahn was seeing stars, a huge explosion rang out.
The hill where A-Jiang was located was razed to the ground, leaving only A-Jiang inside the defensive formation, staring blankly at the two sides fighting.
On one side was a seven-person team from the Azure Lotus Sect, and on the other side was a giant black rhinoceros.
The two sides were initially locked in a fierce battle, but were somewhat surprised to see someone suddenly appear. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the person was just a disciple at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and continued fighting without paying any attention.
The human side unleashed various spells and magical artifacts to attack, but this rhinoceros was extremely large and had thick hide, so ordinary spells couldn't harm it in the slightest.
Some low-level wind blade spells and water arrow spells can't even leave a scratch on it.
"This must be a sixth-tier demonic beast. The defensive power of earth-type demonic beasts is truly astonishing!"
"How could there be such a powerful thing in the sect's secret area? If I remember correctly, she entered the 'Black Bamboo Wild Forest'. Why are these monsters appearing one after another?"
She really wanted to open the Qiankun bag to see if she had chopped those hundred black iron bamboos in her dream.
However, this wasn't a good solution. She put away her defensive formation, retreated to a safe distance, affixed a Golden Bell Talisman to herself, and cast a protective shield before launching an attack on the bull with her Sharp Arrow Technique.
