The companions around them felt something was strange, took a few steps back, and, not believing it, tried to use mind control again.
But then came a devastating blow: after repeated attempts, the men in black suddenly discovered that the monsters were not obeying their commands and were instead continuing to act like beasts, attacking them.
The man in black was so terrified by the monster that was devouring his companion's body that he fell to the ground with a thud. His previous shock vanished, replaced by a look of extreme fear, as if he had seen a vengeful ghost rushing down from hell.
But his survival instinct was still there, prompting him to keep retreating. He kept moving his body on the ground, but his legs felt weak and he couldn't escape the monsters at all. The monsters were right in front of him, their faces with blue faces and fangs.
He couldn't help but yell loudly, "Aaaaaah!..."
The three men in black were quickly devoured by the beast horde, scattered and left without a trace, not even bones. The ground was covered in blood, and the tattered pieces of clothing testified to the devastation that had just occurred.
The culprit, hiding to the side, curled his lips into a smile, his eyes gleaming with a strange light, and said contemptuously, "Hmph! You dare to underestimate me? Of course I know what you're capable of. In terms of mental strength, I'm far superior to you. You disdain my tricks, but I'll make sure you die without a burial place!"
Xie Zhou wasn't the kind of person who would just run away and be chased around. Instead, he would find opportunities to launch a counterattack in dangerous situations and annihilate his enemies in one fell swoop. This was because of the arrogance of the man in black, coupled with Xie Zhou's own considerable strength, which allowed him to quickly bring the magical beast under his control.
Under her command, the magical beasts attacked the man in black. However, the man in black's spiritual power was nothing to Xie Zhou, who had already controlled the magical beasts. It was just a drop in the ocean.
Having discovered the methods the man in black used to control the monsters, she naturally wanted to put them to use and retaliate in kind.
Xie Zhou's mental strength was far superior to that of the man in black, so naturally the magical beasts obeyed her commands instead of the arrogant man in black.
The system clapped happily and said, "Not bad, not bad! My lord has learned another new skill: controlling magical beasts with your own mental power!"
Upon hearing that it was that unscrupulous system again, the smile on her face vanished, and she said indifferently, "Alright, stop flattering me. But what exactly are those men in black after? Are they really after some kind of rare treasure that the system detected?"
"I don't know about that, you should go and see for yourself..."
Xie Zhou had this idea for a long time. Now that he could control the magical beasts, he would use this beast tide to resist those men in black. After all, with the magical beasts by his side, Xie Zhou would be able to face the large group of men in black alone, which would be relatively easier.
She controlled the magical beasts, and a large part of the beast tide was at her disposal. At this moment, Xie Zhou was like a queen who had just been embraced by the magical beasts, looking down from a high position. Her aura and spiritual power could soon resound throughout the area.
The scene was spectacular, with a thunderous roar.
Xie Zhou then led the group of magical beasts toward the man in black.
However, Xie Zhou did not confront these men in black directly. She could not be discovered by them for the time being. She wanted to follow them and see what kind of tricks they were trying to pull over there.
From a distance, Xie Zhou followed these men in black step by step towards the north of the Monster Mountain Range. The closer they got, the more monsters Xie Zhou could see surging towards that direction.
Meanwhile, the men in black were still controlling the magical beasts, leading them toward that place. These magical beasts had lost their self-awareness, making them easy for the men in black to control.
However, Xie Zhou's biggest worry was that there were so many people targeting the Worry-Free Pavilion, and that mysterious person knew all about the Worry-Free Pavilion's mental cultivation methods and techniques, not to mention this group of men in black who had secretly learned their mental cultivation techniques. It was really impossible to guard against them. What exactly was wrong with the Worry-Free Pavilion? There didn't seem to be any traitors.
Xie Zhou gave a wry smile and said jokingly, "I've seen some things this time I've come to the Monster Mountain Range."
Looking at the monster, she suddenly remembered the black crystal core she had thrown away. She wondered where it was now. She guessed that the group of men in black had probably found it long ago and taken it back.
The black crystal core, which he obtained after defeating the Mighty Ape, was now both a reward and a source of danger. If it hadn't suddenly emitted a bright light that attracted the attention of the man in black, he wouldn't have been forced to flee in such a sorry state. But every cloud has a silver lining.
The world changes so fast. I had just reunited with my disciples when I encountered this situation again.
Then the system suddenly popped up and said, "Heaven has bestowed a great responsibility upon this person, so of course he must bear such a responsibility. Besides, don't you also possess the mental method to control magical beasts? However, that black crystal core should not have been taken by those men in black. Look at what's in your arms?"
"Hmm? Could it be that it will come back on its own?"
Xie Zhou was a little suspicious, so he reached into his pocket and touched it with some doubt. He found a relatively hard stone, and when he took it out, he found that it was the same black crystal core. Xie Zhou felt a little strange.
He then asked, "How do you know this black crystal core has returned? I clearly threw it away!"
The system patiently explained, "Didn't you come back again? That black crystal core is yours; it should stay with you. It was probably affected by something that caused it to suddenly glow."
"Oh..." Xie Zhou nodded, hid the black crystal core, and continued to follow the men in black. They walked a long way and arrived at a huge valley.
It was pitch black all around, with branches intertwined and forming a huge net in the air, blocking out the last bit of sunlight. In this valley, you could clearly feel the wind whistling past your ears, but there was not much light. It was dark and damp.
The man in black walked to a large area covered with green vines, surrounded by pillars painted with unknown totems.
The magical beasts controlled by the men in black were continuously advancing towards a blood pool in the central arena, where they were killed. Blood was everywhere, obscuring the original appearance of the area, leaving only a blood-red stain.
After she carefully examined the valley, she discovered a strange altar inside, and the men in black were using the blood essence of magical beasts to sacrifice something.
