The five team leaders took the instant photo stones that had been distributed, and the hundred-person team entered the secret forest together.
This forest secret realm truly lives up to its name. The entire realm is covered by a forest, inhabited by various kinds of monsters, who have all been placed in an open area at the center of the realm.
If a hundred people were to enter this forest and immediately start fighting, it wouldn't be unheard of.
However, this year's captains clearly don't have that in mind.
Shi Xuan stepped forward and said with a smile, "Everyone, our Lianfeng Sword Sect will be taking our leave now. We hope to meet again someday."
The other four families indicated they did not wish to have any connection with her.
Shen Wuyang of the Langya Sect smiled and echoed Shi Xuan's words: "Then let's each of the five sects choose a direction to go, and we'll see how things go from here on out."
The captain of the Fuyuan Sect was Zhang Yingxin. She greeted the other sects with a very sassy and capable gesture, and without saying much, led her disciples directly in the northwest direction.
The Yuxing Sect was quite lively. In addition to twenty people, they also brought more than twenty spirit pets, making their group appear to be more than twice the size of the others.
However, they are clearly not suited to cause trouble. The two major sects, Lianfeng Sword Sect and Langya Sect, are still here, and their relationship seems to be quite good. If they make a move, they might be wiped out by the two major sects joining forces.
So Mi Sui led the people and beasts of the Yuxing Sect and chose a direction to leave.
As for the remaining Luoyin Sect, Captain Chen Qi had planned long ago when preparing for the Six Sects Grand Competition to shrink the trapping formation and carry it with him. When entering the group competition, he could trap people from two sects at once, so even if they were fighting two against one, they would have a good chance of winning.
However, after the one-on-one competition, he gave up the idea, especially when facing the Lianfeng Sword Sect. It was best not to provoke a sword cultivator who was proficient in alchemy, talismans, weapons, and formations.
He used to be quite proud of his achievements in the art of array formations, but after experiencing the Mysterious Tower, he realized that there are always higher levels to reach and more capable people to surpass.
A sword cultivator became the first person in history to pass through the Mysterious Tower. If you hadn't experienced it yourself, this would sound like utter nonsense, and no one would believe it.
Now, using this trapping formation against Shi Xuan... let's forget about it.
Chen Qi didn't do anything either. He smiled, greeted them, and then chose a direction to leave.
Only the Lianfeng Sword Sect and the Langya Sect remained. Shi Xuanyang raised his eyebrows, smiled at Shen Wuyang, and said, "You don't want to leave because you want to fight first?"
Shen Wuyang waved his hands repeatedly: "There's absolutely no need for that!"
The five sects thus parted ways. In fact, Shen Wuyang stayed until the very end, intending to try to form an alliance at the same time, but thinking of Shi Xuan's explosive pill that blew up the entire mountain, he was too embarrassed to speak up.
Alliances should be formed when they can be mutually useful, but Shi Xuan doesn't seem to need them, so it's better to rely on ourselves.
Shi Xuan led twenty people from the Lianfeng Sword Sect southeastward. In this secret forest realm, towering trees were everywhere, making humans appear extremely small.
As for the demonic beasts, they were nowhere to be seen, and the group walked for a long time without spotting a single one.
"Where have all these demonic beasts gone?" Lu Wenxing asked疑惑地问道, "Or is there no demonic beast in this secret realm at all?"
Gu Liangce said, "There must be demonic beasts. We probably just haven't found the right place, or maybe this direction isn't an area where demonic beasts are found?"
Shi Xuan thought for a moment and realized that it wasn't good to just keep walking aimlessly like this. He still needed to find a way to lure the monster out.
When it comes to monsters, if you want fewer of them to come out during a beast tide, they'll emerge in droves. But right now, if you want more of them to appear, there aren't any left.
They really don't put their energy in the right places!
But there are ways.
"Let's stop for a moment, I need to refine a batch of pills," Shi Xuan said, stopping his work.
She took out the Heavenly Origin Pill Furnace and started refining pills with the Earth Core Fire.
This team of twenty people all had great faith in Shi Xuan. Let alone her wanting to refine pills, even if she said she wanted to stop and take a nap today, they would support her unconditionally.
Shi Xuan used a very special spiritual plant called Spring Love Flower. Just from the name, you know what it's for. If the demon beasts were affected by this pill, they probably wouldn't be able to live peacefully any longer.
Shi Xuan thought that since the weather was cold now, the monsters would probably be unwilling to come out of their caves, so they should be given some springtime.
This Spring Love Pill is a third-tier pill that is specifically effective against demonic beasts. It is very easy to refine, and Shi Xuan refined a batch in just a quarter of an hour.
The production of this batch of pills heralded the end of the era of dormancy for the demon beasts.
Shi Xuan stepped onto the puppet sword and threw ten Spring Love Pills at the area within a radius of dozens of miles around them. In an instant, a passionate atmosphere permeated the southeast direction of the entire forest.
Sure enough, not long after, commotion was heard, and a demonic beast was on the move!
However, only a dozen or so demonic beasts came out, and they wouldn't even be enough to fill the teeth of the twenty of them in a fight.
Shi Xuan shrugged and said, "It seems there are few monsters in this area."
At this moment, the spectators watching their antics from outside the secret forest began to laugh.
The direction the Fuyuan Sect chose had so many demonic beasts that they couldn't fight them all and had to fight them by hiding. Other sects also had their own gains, but the direction the Lianfeng Sword Sect chose, despite Shi Xuan's best efforts, only yielded a dozen or so level two or three small demonic beasts.
They watched from outside, already overjoyed.
Shi Xuan seemed to have seen their expressions, raised the recording stone to himself, and said, "Everyone saw it, right? The organizers just don't want us to win the competition by killing monsters alone, so you can't blame us."
After she finished speaking, she put down the photo stone, waved her hand, and said, "Let's go! Let's go steal other people's name tags!"
Lu Wenxing immediately perked up: "Great! Whose will we grab first? Whose will we grab second?"
People outside were speechless. He got all worked up about grabbing designer brands. It wasn't enough for him to just grab one brand; he wanted to grab every single one in line.
Shi Xuan: "If the southeast direction has the fewest monsters, I've done some calculations and the northwest direction definitely has the most, so let's go to the northwest!"
The audience outside was surprised, because they all said the same thing at the same time. From their omniscient perspective, it was indeed the northwest direction, towards the Fuyuan Sect, that had the most monsters!
Shi Xuan was simply thinking that if the distribution of demonic beasts had a center, then there would definitely be fewer and fewer towards the outer edges. The few demonic beasts they had here must be on the outermost edge. Working backwards from both sides, the center was directly opposite them.
Lu Wenxing said excitedly, "Let's charge straight in and catch them off guard! They're no match for us!"
While a mage is indeed no match for a swordsman in a one-on-one fight, this is a team battle of twenty people. If they charge in directly, they might win, but they will inevitably suffer casualties.
