Chapter 332
The leaf in the pocket was probably related to the beast, but now Ying Yan had received the punishment she deserved, was it necessary for him to dig her out and humiliate her again?
Gu Zhifei was a little hesitant.
Tiantong Daozun looked very unhappy when he came back from a trip.
"That beast escaped from the forbidden area."
As a large sect, although the overall strength of the Seven Star Sect lags behind, it has the most Nascent Soul elders among all the sects.
The Seven Stars Sect has many Nascent Soul elders, but none of them are good at attacking. They mostly use formations and astrology.
For example, the Elder Yinxing, whom Gu Zhifei knew before, was a well-known divination master in the world of immortal cultivation.
The overall combat power of the Seven Stars Gate is not strong, but it seals many ferocious beasts. The forbidden area mentioned by Tiantong Daozun is the place where the Seven Stars Gate uses to imprison these ferocious beasts.
The beast that escaped from the forbidden area was ferocious and bloody, and its cultivation level was at least at the third level. If there really was a breach in the forbidden area, then it wouldn't be just these few people who would die next.
Seeing this, Gu Zhifei knew that some things could no longer be concealed, so he handed the remaining leaves in his pocket to Tiantong Daozun and said, "This is what I found in the back mountain. Ying Yan held some in her hand."
Tiantong Daozun took the remaining leaves, put them to his nose and smelled them, and his expression became slightly better.
He was a wood-attributed spiritual root, and had a natural affinity and ability to discern plants and trees. He roughly knew what this thing was, and said to Gu Zhifei, "Did you get this leaf before you met the white tiger?"
Gu Zhifei nodded: "After meeting it, how can I find the time to look for leaves?"
Tiantong Daozun thought about it and agreed. Without saying anything more, he took the leaf and went out again.
In less than half a minute, Tiantong Daozun came back, packed up his things and was about to leave.
Gu Zhifei's injury was not too serious. After taking the recovery pill, he was able to sit up independently. He would be able to recover after a few days of rest. Seeing that Tiantong Daozun had arranged everything and seemed to be away for quite some time, he could not help but ask:
"Master, are you going to the forbidden area?"
Tiantong Daozun responded: "You should take good care of your injuries during this time, and rest for a few more days before practicing. I don't want to see you slacking off when I come back."
This means that you will have to be away for at least half a year.
"I'll go with you." Gu Zhifei said seriously, "My injuries are not serious. I have the Green Lantern Fire and the Hell Soul Fire to deal with the ferocious beasts. I can purify their hostility, which can also be regarded as a kind of practice."
More importantly, Gu Zhifei felt a very familiar wood-attributed aura from the white tiger.
Gu Zhifei felt that he had to go into the forbidden area to take a look.
Tiantong Daozun wanted to refuse, but he didn't know what he thought of, and he actually agreed to her proposal: "Then you should bring more pills. This journey may be difficult and dangerous, and I may not be able to protect you in everything."
Li Xiaobai: "Then I want to go too."
Tiantong Daozun flatly rejected her: "You can't do that. You stay here and practice well. I will come out to check your homework."
Li Xiaobai, who had been ignored for a long time, suddenly became unhappy, with anger written all over his face:
"My cultivation is obviously higher than that of Junior Sister. If you take me along, she can be my companion. Why can't you let me go?"
Gu Zhifei opened her mouth and wanted to tell Li Xiaobai that she had been training hard recently. In fact, it was the same no matter where she trained, it was just a different background. But it was different for her senior sister. She had to move forward steadily and in a proper manner.
There was no need for her to take that risk with them.
"Because the forbidden area is not a snow mountain but a desert, and there is also a volcano." Tiantong Daozun took over the conversation and said slowly.
"Well, I won't go."
Li Xiaobai's idea caught Gu Zhifei off guard.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaobai gave up the idea of going along just because of the word "hot".
Li Xiao has a white snow spiritual root. She naturally likes coolness and is very afraid of heat. There are many volcanoes in the forbidden area, and her physique is indeed not suitable for it.
After persuading Li Xiaobai, Gu Zhifei simply packed up a few things, changed the bandage on the wound on his shoulder, and left with Tiantong Daozun.
Tiantong Daozun casually drew a formation on the ground with a branch. A green halo lit up and flickered continuously. After nine cycles of lighting up and dimming, the ground beneath their feet turned into soft ground.
Gu Zhifei had not been studying formations for too long. The formation that Tiantong Daozun had just drawn was too mysterious. She could not understand it for the moment and just memorized it silently in her heart, thinking that maybe she could use it later.
She remembered that she was so focused that she accidentally bumped into something.
The thing that was hit let out a scream and quickly ran away, leaving Gu Zhifei standing there in shock, unable to come back to his senses.
"That's Huan. It has one eye and three tails. It has just reached the second level of cultivation. It is the staple food of many monsters."
Tiantong Daozun explained to Gu Zhifei.
"Let's go find the vicious beast first. It should be not far from here. This guy already has the intelligence of an adult, so you better be careful."
Gu Zhifei nodded and followed Tiantong Daozun.
She had heard of the vicious reputation of the snake.
The maggot is similar to a long-tailed monkey, has the intelligence of a primate, and can also use simple tools.
The maggot in the forbidden area has a high level of cultivation, having already reached the fourth level. It likes to pry open the skulls of animals and eat the juice inside.
I don’t know how smart this fourth-level maggot beast is.
As Gu Zhifei was thinking about this, he was hit from behind.
Tiantong Daozun was walking in front of her, so it was unlikely that he would pat her on the back of her shoulder. Could it be a demon beast? Gu Zhifei thought it was very likely.
Since it is a monster, turning around rashly is not a smart decision.
She suppressed her curiosity and slowly followed the figure, but her eyes would occasionally fall to the side or behind her.
It was because of this slight distraction that by the time Gu Zhifei found herself deviating from the main road and walking onto the small path, she had completely left Tiantong Daozun's sight. The hairy monkey in front of her was most likely the monkey they were looking for.
Gu Zhifei could not sense any aura of a ferocious beast from it.
Or perhaps the guy in front of her was already able to conceal his own aura.
This alone shows that the cultivation level of this monster is stronger than the white tiger that Gu Zhifei met before.
What surprised her even more was that the monster actually spoke human language:
"A mere foundation-building cultivator dares to run wild in my territory?"
Gu Zhifei smiled bitterly: Very good, she has offended another CEO.
"Sorry to bother you, goodbye." Gu Zhifei wanted to leave in one breath, but the second sentence the monster said was: Is Yinxing okay?
This sentence made her alert. Did she know Elder Yinxing and his situation? Elder Yinxing has always been a very mysterious existence. He never takes action easily, and he will not even show up unless it is necessary.
Before Gu Zhifei met him, she wasn't even aware of the existence of this elder.
And now a demon beast could actually recognize him, which was enough to prove that they definitely knew each other and had a close relationship.
Gu Zhifei couldn't help but look at it: "What does it have to do with you?"
"snort!"
The monster sneered and said, "Who are you? I tell you, this is my territory, I want you to die!"
"What about your territory?" Gu Zhifei asked back, "Is there no one in charge here?"
"Of course not." The demon beast said arrogantly, "Now that old man Yinxing is dead, this place is completely my territory."
It turned out that the person who had been in charge of managing the forbidden area was Elder Yinxing. As soon as he died, the forbidden area began to be in turmoil, and all the monsters began to stir.
This includes the 蜼.
"You have his scent on you, so you probably have a good relationship with him. Maybe you would rather go underground to accompany him."
The monster looked at Gu Zhifei, and its long tail swung happily behind it.
It really is a monkey.
Gu Zhifei knew that he was no match for the monster. It was rare that the other party was willing to talk so much to him. If he didn't make good use of it, it would be difficult to end the situation.
Then she said, "Yes, Elder Yinxing loved me the most before he passed away. When he was dying, the thing he was most worried about was the monster She."
The monster fell into the trap. It rolled up its tail and said angrily, "That loach? There's nothing to worry about with that loach!"
The monkey's competitive spirit was always unexpectedly strong. When he heard that Xingyin was most worried about She and not him, he immediately felt upset and thought to himself, "That old bastard! He's dead and still causing trouble for me!"
Gu Zhifei said sorry in his heart, his heart was sad but his face was full of smiles:
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"He said that in the entire barrier, apart from those great monsters, there are only a few who can match him, and one of them is the monster She."
The monkey's strong desire to win was overwhelming. He didn't care about eating Gu Zhifei's brain and tried his best to argue: "I am much stronger than the monster She. It is just a stinky loach rolling in the water. What's so great about it? Don't believe that old guy."
Gu Zhifei pretended to be embarrassed: "I didn't see it. Besides, could Elder Yinxing's words be a lie?"
Gu Zhifei's contempt completely annoyed the monster. It originally wanted to slap Gu Zhifei to death, but then it thought that if Gu Zhifei really died, no one would be able to prove that it was stronger than that broken loach.
It also wants Gu Zhifei to be a witness to its glory.
Then the monster said to Gu Zhifei, "Well, you and I will go to the lake and call out that stinky loach. I will fight with it and you will see who is stronger between the two of us."
Gu Zhifei nodded, and said reluctantly with a look of disbelief: "Okay."
Her reluctance was seen as strong mockery, contempt and disbelief by the monster. The monster cursed Elder Yinxing again in his heart, hooked Gu Zhifei with his tail, and took them to the lake.
Before, Tiantong Daozun and Gu Zhifei briefly introduced the situation in the forbidden area. Gu Zhifei also had some understanding of it and knew which monsters did not get along well with each other. He deliberately picked the monster that Gu Zhifei disliked the most.
The monster She was a python that had been practicing for many years and had a bad relationship with the monster Xie. The two monsters looked down on each other.
The monster Xie had just brought Gu Zhifei to the river when the monster She smelled the scent and jumped out, looking at the monster Xie with a pair of snake eyes.
The two beasts started fighting without saying a word.
What Gu Zhifei needs is for them to fight.
She had just entered the forbidden area and went directly to the most dangerous place, and fell into the hands of a fourth-level monster. She couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
It is impossible to get rid of it by your own strength.
And even if he could find a way to get rid of the monster, he couldn't go directly to find Tiantong Daozun.
There are high-level monsters everywhere here, and if you take a wrong step you might end up falling into another wolf's den.
The safest way is to notify Tiantong Daozun and ask him to come find me.
The monsters Xie and She made such a big noise that it would be hard for Tiantong Daozun not to notice.
When he finds out that he is missing, he will definitely come here to look for him.
In this way, Gu Zhifei will be able to reunite with him.
Gu Zhifei was busy calculating, and didn't notice that the two monsters, Monster Xie and Monster She, were pulling each other:
"Where did you get such a tender little girl?"
“I found it.”
"You said you only want to eat one brain, why don't you give me the rest, and I'll give you the water spirit crystal I saved."
When the Water Spirit Crystal was mentioned, the demon beast's eyes sparkled: "Really?"
"Seriously!" Monster She swore, "I will never lie to you."
"You've lied to me enough." The monster said dissatisfiedly, but his feet had already moved.
They gradually approached Gu Zhifei and deliberately went in her direction.
Gu Zhifei seemed to be in a daze, and the two monsters also felt relieved.
It was not until the monster She suddenly pounced on Gu Zhifei and realized that he had missed something that he realized that the little girl sitting on the tree branch had disappeared at some point.
"Where are the people?"
“I don’t know!”
The two monsters were at a loss, but Gu Zhifei, who was hiding in another tree, breathed a sigh of relief.
Monsters are cunning and changeable, and they only care about eternal interests. Just because Gu Zhifei lured the monster Xie here to fight with the monster She, it doesn't mean that she can let her guard down.
She had already witnessed the tricks of the monster once, and didn't want to fall into its trap a second time.
Although Gu Zhifei had been prepared for this situation, he still found it a little unbelievable when it actually happened.
A monkey and a snake, actually so terrifying! If she hadn't used an illusion formation, she would have really fallen into the snake's belly.
At the same time, Gu Zhifei also discovered that his formation was particularly useful against monsters.
I don’t know if it’s because animals rely particularly heavily on their five senses, but neither the monster Xie nor the monster She used their spiritual sense to detect Gu Zhifei’s location.
They were running around everywhere, the monsters were climbing up and down the trees, and the monsters were crawling around on the ground, with no intention of using magic to find Gu Zhifei.
Finally, the demon beast She said, "I can't smell her anymore. Maybe she has gone far away. Let's look for her somewhere else."
The monster She agreed. The monster She's sense of smell is one of the best, and if it says no, it means no.
The two monsters walked away, and Gu Zhifei let out a long breath.
Just as she was about to unlock the formation, alarm bells started ringing in her heart, and her intuition told her that she absolutely could not do so.
She was cautious and stayed where she was quietly without moving.
Within half a minute, the monsters Xie and She turned back.
The demon beast asked: "Is she really not here anymore?"
Monster She: "Impossible, that cunning human must be here, she must have used some kind of formation!"
"What can we do? We don't know the formation. If she keeps hiding, we won't be able to find her, right?"
The monster She's snake seemed to have a cruel smile on its face:
"Then I will stay here and wait until the day she comes out!"
The snake looked at it like a fool: "Then you will probably starve to death. Human cultivators have storage bags, they can restore their spiritual power, and they can prepare food in advance. You just stay here and wait until the human cultivator forms a dan and then kills you."
