Ye Qiao's scalp was tingling because the thing behind him was too detrimental to his sanity.
The monster had four hands, its head was covered with uneven feathers, and it had more than a dozen pairs of eyes that glowed coldly in the night, which was simply terrifying.
She held her breath unconsciously and felt goosebumps all over her body due to nausea.
Zhou Xingyun frowned at the feathers on its head. He pursed his lips and said indifferently, "Nascent Soul Stage."
"Damn." Ye Qiao could always feel that something was watching them, but she had just established her foundation, and it seemed too much of a compliment to her to leapfrog to the Nascent Soul stage.
So no wonder.
With so many eyes staring at her, it would be strange if she didn’t feel anything.
The higher the realm of the monster, the weirder its appearance. Ye Qiao originally thought that snake and rat potions were strange enough, but he didn't expect that the monster in the Nascent Soul stage would simply not behave like a human being.
Ye Qiao grabbed the eldest brother who was standing there motionless and seemed to be in a daze and was about to run away: "Run!"
The higher the realm of the monster, the higher its IQ. Zhou Xingyun was not weak, but perhaps because it was afraid of the consequences, it did not dare to rush up rashly at the first time, and it had been observing the two of them since daytime.
Ye Qiao didn't give it a chance to react and chose to run away with the man.
Zhou Xingyun turned around, but couldn't help but swung his sword. The sword energy was like a rainbow and the force was like thunder, which flattened the uneven feathers on its head.
Monster: “……?”
Ye Qiao couldn't help but burst out with the quintessence of Chinese culture: "Big Brother, stop provoking it, ah ah ah fuck."
As expected, Zhou Xingyun's actions completely angered it. It put its four hands on the ground and bared its teeth and claws to catch up with Ye Qiao, the slowest runner. When she was about to be caught, Zhou Xingyun simply grabbed her by the back of the neck, stepped on the breeze and easily distanced himself from her. He looked back.
"Go."
On the first night in the secret realm, the two successfully achieved their goal of being hunted down by a Nascent Soul stage monster.
"Will there be Nascent Soul stage monsters in the secret realm?"
While calculating the distance, Zhou Xingyun answered calmly: "There are Yuanying stage in all the great secret realms, but I was lucky and didn't encounter them before."
The audience also said: "...I take back what I said about Ye Qiao being lucky."
"The secret realm with her has always been quite chaotic."
Zhou Xingyun reacted quickly and calculated the distance between them. He did not give the monster any chance to get close and attack. When it was about to catch up, he picked up Ye Qiao and dodged. Ye Qiao would turn around and throw a talisman to it from time to time.
She doesn't have much else but a lot of talismans. Although she can't win, she can delay time.
With some cooperation, there are really no major problems for the time being.
The first day was so lively.
One can imagine what the situation is in the secret realm behind.
Under the leadership of Yun Que, Song Hansheng obtained a lot of Qingxin Grass, but because there were no alchemy practitioners, they hesitated for a moment and decided to go to the people of Bishui Sect to discuss cooperation first.
The Bishui Sect has no shortage of alchemy practitioners, but it lacks spiritual plants. After the two sects reached a cooperation, the cooperation can be barely considered pleasant.
One ranked first and the other second.
"Treasure-hunting beasts are really useful." The elder of Yueqing Sect was very satisfied with this ranking. After all, the sect competition was an annual bragging session for the elders and masters of each sect.
The elders of the Bishui Sect were not so optimistic: "This is only the first day."
Elder Zhao wanted to hold his forehead with his hand, because it was only the first day and he felt tired.
On the first day, he dared to provoke a Nascent Soul stage monster.
How to live the rest of the day?
Mingxuan and Mu Chongxi teamed up together. Mingxuan first used his spiritual sense to scan the area to confirm it was safe and then prepared to go find Xue Yu with his fourth junior brother.
Xue Yu is the key in this game.
Moreover, the junior sister and the senior brother are like slippery loaches, and they can live well even if they are alone.
Mingxuan has a strong spiritual awareness, and with the help of talismans, Mu Chongxi holds the sword to clear the way and quickly deals with the monsters.
However, the two of them were not very lucky. They ran into two direct disciples of the Sword-Asking Sect on the first day.
Chu Xingzhi and his junior sister Zhu You.
"What a coincidence." Mingxuan calmly clenched the talisman in his hand, always on guard against the two of them.
Chu Xingzhi sneered: "Mingxuan? Don't think that I will respect you just because you break through the golden elixir."
He has looked down on Mingxuan since the competition began.
It was he who mocked Mingxuan the most harshly in the beginning. After all, the incompatibility between the two had always been deep-rooted. The reason they didn't quarrel in Yunshui City before was purely because they wanted to cooperate to complete the task. Now it's the third round of the competition.
When masters meet, they mock each other to show respect.
“Oh my.” However, Mingxuan was not the one who would feel inferior when he was ridiculed. The young man raised his chin and showed the same annoying smile as Ye Qiao: “You care so much about whether I have achieved a breakthrough to the Golden Core? What, you have a crush on me?”
This statement, which was harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, successfully changed Chu Xingzhi's disgusted expression. He put his hand on the sword at his waist and was ready to take action.
