283Chapter 282 The Southern Wilderness Swamp is Perilous Two Beasts Occasionally Fighted

When Yu Xian stepped into the first tree in this vast southern marshland.

He then felt an unusual discomfort.

That discomfort was like the oppressive feeling of a mortal stepping into the territory of a terrifying beast! It was indescribable, only to be felt!

The spiritual energy around them had also become noticeably denser.

Clearly, the deeper you go, the denser the spiritual energy becomes.

After all, demonic beasts need a large supply of spiritual energy to cultivate and grow.

The forest was dense and shrouded in mist and miasma. Not to mention the giant trees that blocked their view, the grayish-white miasma alone prevented the four of them from seeing beyond a few feet.

If a person enters this place alone, they may get lost within a few miles and never be able to return!

As for taking to the air to find a way out?

That would be suicidal!

If you become the target of some powerful monsters, there is basically no chance of survival!

This place is far more terrifying than the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the North that Yu Xian went to back then.

This is a truly savage land.

All four of them concealed their auras and cautiously stepped forward.

Although the forest was vast and the miasma thick, Hua Yuandu had a fragment of a jade pendant to guide them to the place of inheritance, so they wouldn’t get lost. The three of them just needed to follow Hua Yuandu.

As they ventured deeper, the surroundings grew increasingly dark, with countless towering trees, some tens or even hundreds of meters tall, blocking out the sun.

The presence of miasma further amplified the eeriness of the place.

In particular, various poisonous insects began to appear, rushing towards the four unfamiliar people, who were filled with the sweet scent of blood.

However, the four of them were all quite fast. By the time the poisonous insects reached the location of the aura, the four of them had already moved hundreds of feet away.

“Although this place is not the forbidden or deadly place as rumored, it is still extremely dangerous. You must stay close to me, otherwise once you get separated or lost, it will be difficult to find you again.”

The deeper the four went, the more serious they became. Hua Yuan couldn’t help but whisper something to remind the other three.

The three nodded slightly. They were all aware of the dangers of this place; they weren’t idiots who didn’t know the situation was critical.

“roar……”

Just then, a faint roar came from the depths of the distant forest, followed by another furious roar.

Judging from the roars, it was clear that two powerful demonic beasts were fighting each other, trying to devour one another.

The four of them looked up at the source of the sound at the same time, and after sensing it for a moment, they felt relieved.

Although the strength of the two demonic beasts could not be determined from their voices alone, it was clear that they were far apart and could not possibly detect the four of them.

However, Hua Yuandu’s expression changed immediately, and he couldn’t help but say, “This is bad…”

Yu Xianting’s gaze sharpened, and he became alert, his muscles tense, ready to explode at any moment!

Shen Ce and Wei Yun’s expressions also changed.

Wei Yun asked in a low voice, “Fellow Daoist Hua, what’s wrong? Have some demonic beasts attacked?”

Hua Yuandu stopped and looked ahead, where the sound of the demonic beast was coming from. He said in a deep voice, “It’s not that a demonic beast attacked, but if I’m not mistaken, those two demonic beasts fighting are right on the route to the Inheritance Secret Realm. What a coincidence!”

The vast Southern Wilderness Swamp is teeming with countless demonic beasts, and the route information transmitted to Hua Yuandu by the jade pendant is from who knows how many years ago.

So over such a long period of time, this route, which should have been safe, has probably long been occupied by countless monsters and turned into their lair.

If we can get around it, that would be great, but if we can’t…

The four of them thought this almost simultaneously. Wei Yun’s face turned slightly pale, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Hua, Fellow Daoist Hua, can we go around this?”

“There’s only one route. If I take a detour, I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to get back on track, and if I get lost…”

Hua Yuan frowned slightly, shook his head, and said solemnly, “We can’t go around them, we can only go and take a look! Those two demonic beasts are currently locked in combat, so we might be able to sneak past them. If we really can’t get past them, then… kill them! I don’t believe that the demonic beasts on the outskirts can be that strong! As long as they’re not fifth-tier demonic beasts, the four of us can kill them with ease!”

Yu Xian calmly said, “Then let’s go through.”

Shen Ce and Wei Yun nodded upon seeing this. Now that they were both here, and they had no other means to re-cultivate their pseudo-core and step into the golden core, their only hope lay ahead. So, they had to brave whatever lay ahead, no matter what kind of monsters they faced, even if it meant facing mountains of knives and seas of fire!

The four immediately stopped talking and, led by Hua Yuandu, continued to run forward quickly, but they concealed their auras even more deeply!

roar……

roar.

roar!

The roaring sound grew closer and closer. After about three incense sticks’ worth of time, the four of them had traveled more than ten miles when they stopped. Their gazes were solemn as they hid behind giant trees and looked ahead.

But ahead, a constant roar and howling could be heard as a tiger and a bear were locked in a life-or-death struggle, locked in a stalemate!

The tiger is a top-tier fourth-level three-striped tiger!

The bear is a mid-tier, fourth-level scaled red bear!

Normally, these two demonic beasts would not come into contact. Even if they did, they would retreat from each other. After all, fighting between the two beasts would not benefit either of them. Their proper business was to hunt down lower-level demonic beasts for food.

But now, for some unknown reason, the bear and the tiger have started fighting, seemingly determined to devour each other.

However, after watching for a while, Yu Xian understood what was going on.

That three-striped tiger is about to advance to the fifth rank!

That’s why it chose to hunt a mid-level fourth-tier Scaled Red Bear, using the bear’s flesh and blood as the opportunity to advance to the fifth tier!

The Scaled Red Bear naturally wouldn’t just sit idly by and wait to die. Its bloodline was already slightly higher than that of the Three-Striped Tiger, so even though it was a little weaker, its strength wasn’t much less than that of the Three-Striped Tiger. Since the Three-Striped Tiger wanted to devour it, it had to be prepared to be devoured in return!

“A superior fourth-tier three-striped tiger, and a medium-tier fourth-tier scaled red bear.”

Hua Yuan glanced at the battlefield, a cold smile appearing in his eyes. He whispered, “Two idiots, they’re practically free materials, meat, and demon cores! We’ll wait until they’re exhausted and about to decide the winner, then strike and kill these two beasts, and then flee immediately!”

Shen Ce, Wei Yun also nodded slightly, without saying a word, but his eyes held a hint of murderous intent.

A top-tier fourth-level three-striped tiger and a mid-tier fourth-level scaled red bear are quite valuable.

Yu Xian’s gaze was also cold. Since these two demonic beasts were blocking the way, killing them was the inevitable result!

The four remained silent, quietly hiding in the shadows, watching the two demonic beasts battle ahead.

However, after waiting for only a short while, Yu Xian suddenly frowned and abruptly lifted his foot!

“Sizzle!”

A green light flashed past in an instant, and the sharp teeth almost bit Yu Xian’s calf.

This is a small, entirely blue snake. Although it belongs to the category of wild animals, it is clearly highly venomous!

It missed its bite, landed, and then bounced up again, pouncing on Yu Xian once more!

Concealing the fluctuations of one’s cultivation aura is easy, but hiding the aura of flesh and blood on a person’s body is extremely difficult!

These wild beasts, poisonous insects, snakes, and ants, regardless of their cultivation level, rely solely on the aura of flesh and blood and the temperature of their bodies to hunt.

The taste of human flesh and blood is incredibly sweet to them!

Without changing his expression, Yu Xian stepped down and crushed the green snake to death. Then he said slowly, “Everyone, trouble is coming.”

Hua Yuandu, Wei Yun, and Shen Ce were slightly taken aback upon hearing Yu Xian’s words, but the next moment, all three of them were startled and simultaneously took action to kill the various poisonous insects that were attacking them.

“This is bad. There are many poisonous insects here. The longer we wait, the more poisonous insects will come. Sooner or later, we will be caught off guard and expose ourselves.”

Shen Ce and Wei Yun were startled and quickly took to the air. Several kinds of poisonous insects, rats, ants, snakes, and mosquitoes were dodged and then killed by their thunderous strike.

Hua Yuandu naturally stood up as well, his face cold. With a flick of his finger, several sword beams flew out, killing the poisonous insects and snakes.

And with this movement of the four people.

The two demonic beasts that were still fighting fiercely in the distance twitched their noses at the same time, and then suddenly separated, both roaring as they looked in the direction of the four people!

The moment the four moved, they had already revealed their presence and figures!

The superior-grade three-striped tiger of the fourth rank and the medium-grade scaled red bear of the fourth rank are in no way inferior to adult humans in intelligence.

The moment they sensed the presence of humans, they immediately understood that humans were lurking around them, coveting their territory!

We must stop fighting each other, or those despicable humans will reap the benefits!

And at that very moment when they stopped fighting!

A figure suddenly burst forth, transforming into a beam of light that shot straight towards the two demonic beasts!

“Quickly! Kill them all!”

Yu Xian’s low shout echoed all around!

He shot straight at the three-striped tiger like an arrow released from a bow!

Hua Yuandu’s eyes flashed, and he regained his senses in a fraction of a second, shouting, “Heavenly Sword! Kill!”

He unleashed a dazzling sword light from his entire body, which was incredibly blinding and swept across all directions, instantly transforming into a long sword that went straight for the scaled red bear!

Wei Yun and Shen Ce also quickly came to their senses!

Since we’ve already been discovered, what are we waiting for?!

The most important thing is to kill these two monsters immediately!

The two roared simultaneously, bursting forth with a burst of light, and charged straight at the three-striped tiger and the red-scaled bear!

boom!

With a low shout, Yu Xian unleashed his physical power, covering a distance of over a hundred feet in the blink of an eye, and threw a punch straight at the neck of the fourth-tier superior three-striped tiger!

Previously, Yu Xian had killed a mid-level fourth-tier three-striped tiger with a single punch.

But this three-striped tiger is a genuine high-grade fourth-order tiger, a powerful demon tiger that can break through to the fifth order at any time, much stronger than the previous one!

Therefore, this three-striped tiger showed no fear. Instead of retreating, it opened its blood-red maw and bit at Yu Xian!

“court death!”

Yu Xian’s expression remained unchanged, but a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes. As he threw a punch, his body moved, and the Spirit God Shield roared out!

Controlling magical artifacts is naturally a powerful weapon for the human race.

Unless a demon beast advances to the level of a demon cultivator, it can reverse its physical body and transform into a human form, thus being able to use magic weapons and spells. Otherwise, it will forever be inferior to humans!

boom!

The power of the Spirit God Shield is self-evident. As a fifth-tier superior magic weapon, its defensive power is absolutely beyond the reach of this three-striped tiger. It bit down on the Spirit God Shield, its teeth even breaking, but it couldn’t bite through the Spirit God Shield even a little bit!

Instead, Yu Xian’s punch landed squarely on its neck without any resistance!

The neck of a tiger, or indeed any living creature, is one of its weak points!

With his late-stage Foundation Establishment physique, Yu Xian unleashed a punch that was as sharp as an arrow. Although the fist appeared small, it ripped open the skin and flesh of the three-striped tiger’s neck, causing the tiger to roar in pain and fall backward!

As expected of a fourth-tier superior three-striped tiger, its skin and flesh defenses were indeed far superior to those of the average level; it couldn’t be killed with a single punch!

Yu Xian’s gaze sharpened, and he took three steps in two, giving it no chance, and jumped directly onto its body. With a wave of his hand, the Azure Spirit Sword appeared in his hand!

No matter how strong your flesh and blood are, you are still just a fourth-tier demon beast. Can you withstand the assassination of a fourth-tier superior Azure Spirit Sword?

Grasping the Jade Spirit Sword, Yu Xian roared, his muscles bulging, and thrust the sword down!

puff!

In an instant, blood spurted out as the Jade Spirit Sword pierced through the neck of the Three-Striped Tiger, and blood gushed out like a fountain!

roar!!

The three-striped tiger roared in pain and struggled frantically, but with its neck pierced, its life force drained away rapidly. In less than five breaths, it collapsed and remained motionless.

Without saying a word, Yu Xian raised his hand and put away the Jade Spirit Sword. With a flick of his wrist, he put the corpse of the three-striped tiger into his spirit beast bag.

Over this period of time, Yunzhonglu and Xiaofengmao have already digested and absorbed the flesh and blood of the three-striped tiger, and are now eagerly awaiting their feeding.

The flesh and blood of these three-striped tigers are a true tonic for them.
