Chapter 1045: Giant Beast in the Forest
As Xiaoliu roared, nine claw marks simultaneously pierced the Soul Dragon's heart. The clone on the water froze simultaneously, then dissipated into black mist amidst a shrill roar.
Luo Li did not retract her sword, but crossed her two swords into a cross and slashed towards the collapsing dragon shadow.
As the sword flashed, the black fog in the sky was purified into tiny starlight, revealing the Sacred Heart Lotus at the bottom of the pool, which was emitting a soft glow.
Lan Xiaoxiao was surprised and asked, "This is... there are two Sacred Heart Lotuses?"
Luo Li also looked at the Sacred Heart Lotus in the center of the lake, and then glanced at the Sacred Heart Lotus at the bottom of the lake, "There really are two of them."
Xuan Mu said, "That's great. Give one to Yao Chi Holy Land, and you can keep the other one for yourself. This Sacred Heart Lotus is a rare treasure. Apart from the secret realm of Yao Chi Holy Land, where one blooms every hundred years, you won't find it anywhere else."
Luo Li raised an eyebrow, "Don't you want to win?"
Xuan Mu spread his hands and said, "To be honest, my old man said that this time, he wanted to let me go through the motions just for the sake of our relationship with Yaochi Holy Land."
Luo Li was not polite either, "I have indeed never seen the Sacred Heart Lotus, so I won't be polite then."
Xuan Mu narrowed his eyes, "Okay."
The water in the pond returned to calm, and star-like fragments of light floated on the water, reflecting Luo Li's delicate profile.
She put away her swords and her eyes wandered between the two Sacred Heart Lotuses on the lake surface and at the bottom of the lake.
She took out the Sacred Heart Lotus from the bottom of the lake and placed it under the Chaos Jade Seed.
He then took out another Sacred Heart Lotus from above the lake and placed it in an empty space ring.
Xuan Mu put away his sword and asked, "Are we leaving the secret realm now?"
Luo Li shook her head and smiled, "I think this secret realm is great."
Xuan Mu and Lan Xiaoxiao were both stunned. "What do you want to do?"
Luo Li crossed her arms, "The monsters here are all great lords. Wouldn't it be a shame if we didn't take some back?"
Xuan Mu and Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "You want to tame the monster?!"
Luo Li snapped her fingers, "That's right."
At this moment, the Holy Lord of Yao Chi, who was waiting with his eyes closed outside the secret realm for the first trial-taker to bring out the Sacred Heart Lotus, suddenly felt a chill on his back.
On the other side, in the secret realm of Yaochi.
Luo Li and the others wandered around in the secret realm. When they saw a magical beast, Xiao Liu suppressed it with one claw, and then Luo Li tamed it directly and temporarily placed it in the Chaos Jade.
Xuan Mu also went from being shocked at first to being numb later.
Finally, he smiled happily after Luo Li gave him a nine-star lord-level magical beast.
Lan Xiaoxiao glanced at him with disdain, "Are you really that happy?"
Xuan Mu glanced at him and said, "Have you been following A Li for too long? You've forgotten that the Continent of Gods is not a place where high-ranking lords can be found everywhere."
Lan Xiaoxiao made a face and ignored him.
Luo Li and the others didn't encounter any other people for a whole day and night. Instead, the monsters they encountered were all high-star lord-level. Xiao Liu was almost paralyzed.
After a while, the three of them realized something was wrong.
Xuan Mu frowned and said, "This is too strange. Logically, the Yao Chi Holy Land shouldn't be too big, but we haven't even reached the end in the past two days. We haven't even run into anyone else. Instead, the monsters we see are all high-star Grand Lord-level monsters that are very rare in the outside world. Are we really in the Yao Chi Secret Realm?"
Lan Xiaoxiao pressed her forehead and said, "It's really strange, but this should be the Yaochi Secret Realm. After all, we have found the Sacred Heart Lotus."
Luo Li sent a voice message into the Tower of Gods, "Senior Xuan Ye, what are you going to do?"
Xuan Ye in the Tower of Gods shouted, "It should be the Yaochi Secret Realm. Anyway, the aura I sensed before was muttering this name."
Luo Li frowned slightly, "We all came in through the entrance opened by the Yao Chi Saint Lord. No matter what, we will not leave the territory of the Yao Chi Secret Realm. Perhaps we have mistakenly entered the sealed area of the Yao Chi Holy Land."
Xuan Mu also felt the same way. "No matter what, as long as we are in the Yaochi Secret Realm, after three days, the Yaochi Secret Realm will automatically eject outsiders like us, so there is no need to worry."
Lan Xiaoxiao asked with some concern: "But doesn't that mean we can get out directly as long as we get the Sacred Heart Lotus?"
Luo Li looked at the towering trees around them and said, "Let's go and look around. There's only one day left. If nothing works, there's still a teleportation array to get out."
"That's right." The two nodded and followed Luo Li deeper into the front.
The three continued to walk through the dense ancient forest. The trees around them grew taller and taller, and the intertwined branches and leaves almost blocked out the sky.
Luo Li could feel an inexplicable power in the air, and with every step she took, the ground beneath her feet seemed to tremble slightly.
At this moment, Xiaoliu suddenly jumped off Luo Li's shoulder, turned into a human form, and stared at the front vigilantly.
"Something is coming." Luo Li quickly drew out his sword, and a light blue light flowed on the sword.
The ground began to shake violently, and the ancient trees in front fell to the sides, revealing a forcibly opened road.
A huge black shadow slowly walked out from the depths of the woods - it was a black giant beast as big as a mountain, its body covered with metallic scales, and its six blood-red eyes were arranged in two rows, emitting a suffocating pressure.
"Nine-star Grand Lord peak..." Xuan Mu's voice was a little tense, "I'm only one step away from entering the Saint Lord realm. This time it's going to be difficult."
Lan Xiaoxiao had already formed a defensive seal, and an aquamarine barrier unfolded in front of the three of them. "What kind of magical beast is this?! How come I've never seen it before!"
The giant beast let out a deafening roar, and the sound waves almost materialized, breaking the surrounding trees in half.
Luo Li's long hair fluttered in the violent airflow, but a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Xiao Liu, prepare to combine your soul skills!" Luo Li shouted softly, and Xiao Liu immediately turned into a golden light and merged into her body.
In an instant, dazzling golden light burst out from Luo Li's body, and dragon scales similar to Xiao Liu's appeared on his forehead.
Xuan Mu and Lan Xiaoxiao looked at each other and launched their strongest attacks at the same time.
Xuan Mu formed seals with his hands, and countless cracks appeared on the ground, and sharp ice spikes shot out from the ground; Lan Xiaoxiao summoned three water dragons, which pounced on the giant beast from different directions.
The giant beast was temporarily restrained. Luo Li seized the opportunity and flashed like lightning to the top of the giant beast.
She held the sword in both hands, with the dual power of gold and blue wrapped around the sword, and stabbed it hard at the center eye of the giant beast.
"break!"
The moment the sword blade pierced, the giant beast let out a painful roar and shook its head frantically to get rid of Luo Li.
But Luo Li held the hilt of the sword tightly, and at the same time activated the power of chaos, trying to tame this being that was on the verge of the Saint King level.
"Ali, be careful!" Lan Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted.
The giant beast's tail swept towards her like a steel whip. Luo Li only had time to turn sideways in a hurry, and the tail brushed against her left arm, instantly tearing her skin and flesh.
Blood dripped down the arm onto the sword. The Xuan Yue Sword felt the hand of its master, and the sword spirit became slightly angry.
