　　“That thing… is too disgusting and too dirty！ I don’t want to die at its hands！”
　　Duan Xiaoyu roared with her face that was a bit distorted and deformed from running.
　　Xu Taiping was speechless.
　　“Boom！”
Just at this moment, another loud noise came from behind the two people. Then, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble violently, and a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation carrying a thick stench, swept over like a tide from behind the two people.
　　Even if the two people didn’t turn around to look, they could guess.
　　It must be that wild beast emerging from the ground.
　　“Zheng！”
　　Seeing this, Xu Taiping held nothing back. He directly controlled the sword and flew up, while at the same time stretching out his hand to Duan Xiaoyu and saying：
　　“Grab it if you don’t want to die！”
　　“Mm！”
　　Duan Xiaoyu, who was already so nervous that she was about to cry, immediately grabbed the hand that Xu Taiping stretched out.
　　With a “whoosh” sound of breaking through the air, a sword light flew out from the mountain forest.
　　In the blink of an eye, it had already flown to a mountain peak on the opposite side.
　　A furious roar then resounded throughout the mountain forest where Fengqi Palace was located.
　　……
　　“Yellow Leaf Slope. Fortunately, it’s not too far from Xingluo Lake.”
　　After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, inside a stone building built with huge stones, Xu Taiping carefully searched a map in front of him for a while and finally confirmed the position where they were now.
　　Just now, he was only focused on escaping for his life. He didn’t care about the direction or distance. He flew with the sword all the way until his true qi was almost exhausted before stopping.
　　“Ou！…”
　　At this time, in a room next door to the stone building, a burst of vomiting sounds suddenly rang out.
　　“You, are you okay？”
　　Xu Taiping raised his head and asked next door.
　　“N-no, I’m fine, Taiping-ge！”
　　Duan Xiaoyu’s weak voice came from next door.
　　“That’s good.” Xu Taiping nodded.
　　He had heard of many people who got seasick, but he had never seen anyone who got motion sickness from a flying sword like Duan Xiaoyu.
　　“If I remember correctly, this Blood Moon Tidal Surge will last at least three days without any interference. That is to say, within these three days, if there is no need, it is best not to go out as much as possible.”
While thinking this way, he began to check what kind of monster were nearby according to the map.
　　This map was revised by Sister Lingyue, and it was more fully marked than the one given by the Nine Mansions.
　　“My… my luck is a bit bad！”
　　Xu Taiping, who was checking the map, suddenly She frowned .
I saw that his finger on the map was exactly on a skull above, and next to the skull, there was also a line of small characters written in elegant handwriting
　　“Ancient fierce beast Scarlet Scale Leopard sleeps here. For the cultivators in our world, this Scarlet Scale Leopard is a good prey. Its fur and bones can be used as medicine, and its leopard gallbladder can even nourish the soul. But for the cultivators in your world, it can only be regarded as a nightmare. Its strength is at least equivalent to that of a Tongxuan Realm cultivator.”
　　“However, unless the Blood Moon Tidal Surge comes, the probability of it waking up from the ground is very small. This is also the reason why it has not been hunted by cultivators.”
　　After reading Sister Lingyue’s annotations again, Xu Taiping felt that his scalp was a little numb.
　　Now we can only hope that this fierce beast doesn’t wake up.
　　Even if it wakes up, don’t come this way.
　　While thinking this way, he continued to check, and then found that except for this potentially awakening Red Scale Leopard, there were no other particularly powerful fierce beasts in this area.
　　It can be considered a blessing in misfortune.
　　“In any case, leave this place immediately after three days, then find the things according to the original route, and then directly crush the scroll and go out.”
　　He thought this way in his heart while putting away the map.
　　As for Jade Gourd Peak, he still doesn’t plan to go this time. The risk is too great.
　　Because according to the words of Fairy Lingyue, once the Blood Moon Tide begins, there will be more awakened ancient fierce beasts over there, and even after the Blood Moon Tide ends, some ancient fierce beasts may not necessarily fall asleep.
　　In this situation, not being able to chop down the plum tree, Scholar Sansan should be able to understand, right？
　　Just as Xu Taiping was thinking this way, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest.
　　“Huh？”
　　He touched around in the collar of his chest somewhat strangely, and then found that what was heating up was actually the token given to him by the Nine Mansions.
　　This token was sent over by the Nine Mansions when they invited him.
At that time, Xu Taiping didn’t pay much attention to what specific function this token had, and just regarded it as an ordinary pass token.
　　After taking out the pass token, Xu Taiping discovered a few words on the originally blank back of the pass token – “Is Taiping here？ Is Taiping still alive？”
　　”This thing can still be used for communication？”
　　Xu Taiping said with some surprise.
　　Although he didn’t know who was asking him this, he now really wanted to know what was happening outside.
　　”I’m still alive. Who are you？”
　　Xu Taiping clenched the jade token, and then, according to the method of using the communication jade slip, left a line of words on it with his spiritual sense.
　　”That’s great！ Taiping, you’re still alive！”
　　”Taiping, it’s me. I’m Huangque.”
　　Two consecutive lines of words emerged from the jade slip.
　　”It’s actually Big Brother Huangque.”
　　Xu Taiping was also a little surprised.
　　”Big Brother Huangque, what exactly happened outside? Why did a blood moon appear inside Jade Gourd Peak, and the demonic beasts have become extremely violent. I even saw a wild beast that only appeared in ancient books.”
　　Xu Taiping immediately transmitted what he had seen and heard here in a concise manner.
　　”It’s actually true. In the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven, a blood moon tide has actually appeared！”
　　”An hour ago, we completely lost contact with the inside. In the picture shown in the bronze mirror, there was only a demonic eye.”
　　”Now, this token of the Nine Mansions in your hand is the only way we can communicate with the inside.”
　　A few more lines of words quickly appeared on the token.
　　”What　exactly　happened？”
　　Xu Taiping asked quickly.
　　“I’m afraid that Scholar Yuqing is about to die.”
　　Just a simple line of words, but it made Xu Taiping feel his scalp tingle.
　　“The specific matter is too complicated and also involves many secrets that cannot be spread outside, so it’s not convenient to tell you in detail here.”
　　“Taiping, put these questions aside for now. I have a very important thing for you to do now.”
　　“This matter concerns the life and death of you and those disciples of the Jiufu Sect inside！”
