Although Qian Youxue was brave, the eerie atmosphere in the forest still gave her goosebumps.
The next moment, someone pulled her close and shielded her in their arms.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Xuan Mingye's magnetic voice rang in her ear, warm and tinged with ambiguity.
"I'm not that cowardly!" Qian Youxue angrily shook off Xuan Mingye's hand and took a few big steps forward. But after just a few steps, one of her feet sank into the ground, scaring her so much that she dared not move.
Xuan Mingye reacted quickly, grabbing Qian Youxue's hand and pulling her into his arms again. His voice was full of warning: "This is not a place to joke around. There are many things around. You could lose your life if you're not careful."
Cold sweat broke out on Qian Youxue's forehead. The foot that had been stuck felt like it was being pulled down by something. There must be something sinister down there, and it was quite strong.
This monster is so rich, doesn't he even have a luminous pearl to light his way?
She felt a surge of resentment, but then she heard the man speak: "If you take out the luminous pearl, that thing will run away."
"What is that thing?" Qian Youxue asked curiously.
"Shh...Here we come!" Xuan Mingye covered Qian Youxue's mouth, picked her up, and flew up to a big tree.
Bang bang bang!
After the sound that shook the mountains and forests, a stench wafted over, and then things in the forest scurried about. The sound that had been like a woman's crying turned into screams, and pairs of green eyes appeared in the forest like lanterns.
Thanks to these green eyes, Qian Youxue's vision was finally freed from the darkness.
How could there be so many wind wolves?
I'd been to the forest outside the city with Wuxie before, and we'd only encountered two or three wind wolves. These in front of us were at least forty or fifty, and judging from their aura, they were all spirit beasts of the fifth or sixth rank or higher. If I accidentally fell into their midst, I'd definitely be delivered right to their trap.
She swallowed hard and secretly glanced at Xuan Mingye beside her.
Xuan Mingye sat calmly beside her, kneading her hand, showing no sign of nervousness.
Last time, when she took his pulse, she knew he had profound internal strength, but she couldn't figure out what level of master he was now. This made Qian Youxue even more curious.
In a tree not far away, a strange bird spread its wings, which emitted light that illuminated the scene before it. However, its cry was extremely mournful.
roar……
After the alpha wolf let out a howl, the wind wolves launched an attack like madmen.
At this moment, Qian Youxue finally saw clearly what had made the shocking sound.
It had the head of a bull, the body of a dog, and the tail of a rat; it was as large as several wind wolves, with an enormous body. When it opened its mouth, sharp teeth were revealed, and its bloodshot eyes looked extremely terrifying.
"This is a ghost ox!" Qian Youxue was glad that someone had grabbed her hand; otherwise, she might have fallen off the tree in fright when she recognized the strange creature in front of her.
Legend has it that the Ghost Ox has the head of an ox, the body of a dog, and the tail of a rat, and is as big as several wind wolves. It is said to be a monster that escaped from the eighteenth level of hell.
This creature feeds on the inner cores and blood of spirit beasts, emanating a disgusting, corpse-like aura. While the Ghost Ox looks repulsive, its blood is a top-grade cultivation ingredient. Moreover, the higher the Ghost Ox's spirit rank, the greater the benefits to the cultivator.
