Xie Zhou's breathing gradually calmed down, and she continued to rest against the tree. At this moment, the system said, "Host, are you planning to slack off? Didn't you see something strange over there?"
Xie Zhou forced a bitter smile and said, "System, can't you give me a break? Of course I saw those things, my eyes aren't blind. But what exactly are those things behind it? And most of the magical beasts that caused the black tide are here. They seem a bit strange; they stopped chasing me after I ran out of that open space."
The system also said, "Host, the system detected a strange fluctuation in that area just now, which is somewhat similar to the aura of the ancient demonic sword. Both are very powerful figures!"
She gradually recalled that when she was facing those magical beasts, she did see those sounds coming one after another during the breaks in the fighting, but it seemed that she had broken some kind of ritual of those magical beasts.
Because of Xie Zhouka's sharp eyes, he noticed the strange runes at his feet, which turned out to be a huge formation.
Why not go back again and take a good look at what those monsters are up to?
After the idea popped into her head, Xie Zhou was actually reluctant. She had finally managed to break through the encirclement of those magical beasts, and now she was about to walk into the tiger's den again. She was very unwilling.
But what if it's hiding some huge conspiracy? Xie Zhou hesitated, but the system quickly urged him, "Host, the system thinks you should go and take a look. What if you discover something earth-shattering? Go and see! There's definitely something going on there!"
Xie Zhou, realizing he had also taken an interest, stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go take a look. What if there's something there? But this time I don't want to fight those demons. I can use these trees to observe around those demons. System, you need to carefully detect that light gate."
Xie Zhou quickly stepped forward, using the trees as cover to climb onto the branches. After a few light footwork techniques, she stepped onto the branches and quickly approached the magical beasts.
Seeing that the riotous monsters had begun to line up and slowly channel their power into the portal of light, they realized that the monsters were now standing in a line.
What exactly is inside that gate of light?
Xie Zhou lay on the tree, staring intently at that spot, while the system quickly said, "Host, we can't find anything. That's the Beast God inside, and it's using the power of these magical beasts to be reborn!"
Upon hearing that this was actually the Beast God, she immediately became very vigilant. If the power of these magical beasts were to awaken the Beast God, that would be disastrous. She had heard some news about the Beast God before, and if it were to be awakened this time, the Magical Beast Mountain Range would probably be in for a lot of trouble!
It seems that to carry out the mission of the Beast God, we must prevent it from descending. Therefore, Xie Zhou dares not take it lightly. However, looking into the light gate, there seems to be nothing but light. How can we determine whether the Beast God has awakened?
Xie Zhou then inquired about the system.
"System, how long do you think that state will last before the Beast God awakens? I didn't see even a trace of the Beast God inside that portal."
The system replied, "Host, can you see clearly the layer of light inside that gate? If you add enough power to shatter that gate, it means the day when the Beast God awakens is not far off. Perhaps in just half an hour, or a dozen hours later, the Beast God will make a comeback, bringing with him a massive aura, and will be born in the Monster Beast Mountain Range. The monsters will then call him King again, and his wolfish ambitions will be revealed!"
Xie Zhou knew the situation wasn't particularly optimistic, so he secretly used his mental power to memorize the details.
She then prepared to forcefully break through the numerous magical beasts to prevent the Beast God's resurrection.
Just as she was about to reveal herself from her hiding place, Xie Zhou suddenly saw several familiar figures. Their movements seemed out of place among the many magical beasts, and Xie Zhou quickly noticed them.
Upon closer inspection, they were surprised to see that the figures were several elders from the Sword Sect.
Xie Zhou's face lit up with a smile when he saw familiar faces. Perhaps the Sword Sect elders who had been separated by the magical beasts had met again because of her being teleported to the Magical Beast Mountain Range by the Azure Dragon.
Meeting is fate. It seems they are also here to hunt down these magical beasts. They should be aware of the abnormality of those beasts. Without further ado, since those elders of the Sword Sect are here, Xie Zhou is more confident in stopping the arrival of the Beast God.
Xie Zhou quickly climbed down the tree and hurried towards the elder, calling out, "Elder, Elder!"
She then went to find several elders of the Sword Sect.
She stepped forward, intending to have a proper discussion with an elder about the purpose of these magical beasts. Her appearance caused the magical beasts to erupt into a riot once again. "Roar! Roar..." It was the familiar roar again. Xie Zhou swiftly and cleanly raised his sword and killed one of the charging magical beasts with a single stroke.
Despite facing numerous magical beasts, Xie Zhou remained agile and moved with ease. As long as she accelerated her learning pace and combined it with her swordsmanship, those beasts, though very large, were nothing more than clumsy bears in her eyes. The magical beasts seemed to realize this as well, and knowing they were no match for Xie Zhou, they hurriedly scattered to complete their mission.
Fearing that the unconventional magical beasts might ambush her, Xie Zhou quickly activated a barrier. Since the core of her spiritual world was not yet fully repaired, Xie Zhou dared not use too much spiritual power to fight back. Fortunately, she had many talismans in her storage space, so she used the power of the talismans to strengthen the barrier.
Just as she saw the elders, one of them stepped forward, smiling at her, and said, "Young lady is back. Then let's hurry back..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhou felt something was amiss. She began to scrutinize the other elders, but found nothing strange about them. She then stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Elders. We came here to prevent the Beast God from descending. Why are you leaving? Why don't you accompany me to complete this mission? If the Beast God is allowed to be born, the consequences will be unimaginable. Please help me out!"
But the elders quickly changed their expressions and said, "We don't want to waste our old age on this kind of thing!"
"Absolutely not!..."
Amidst the skeptical voices, Xie Zhou suddenly realized something was wrong: the elders of the Sword Sect had been controlled by someone using their mental power.
Because Xie Zhou didn't notice at first, when she activated her pupil technique to investigate, she discovered that there were many thread-like things behind the elder, which upon further investigation she found to be spiritual power.
Having no other choice, Xie Zhou had to use his own mental power to try and sever the opponent's mental power.
Following the clues, they quickly discovered the source of the spiritual power controlling the elder.
