Chapter 468: Summoning!
Some medicinal herbs were still growing, and harvesting them prematurely would yield limited efficacy.
However, Su Yi refused to let this opportunity pass. His plan was to transplant all these medicinal herbs into the mysterious space, where he could store them until they ripened for sale.
The prospect of these medicinal herbs maturing and potentially transforming into spiritual medicines filled Su Yi with excitement. Indeed, fortune favors the bold.
Although the ancient forest appeared untouched by human presence and was abundant with medicinal herbs, Su Yi and his companions maintained constant vigilance throughout their expedition.
While the ancient forest was vast, flying the Dark Golden Demon Falcon within it proved impossible.
A dense, impenetrable fog hung at high altitudes, obscuring visibility and forcing them to navigate through the forest on foot.
The forest air was fresh, perfumed with medicinal fragrances. Occasionally, lower-ranked demon beasts would pass through. Upon encountering Su Yi’s group, they would flee like startled prey, not daring to linger.
“Exercise caution—demon beasts appear to be present in this vicinity.”
Using his Soul Power, Su Yi detected several demon beast auras. Their presence was extraordinary, emanating considerable strength, which prompted everyone to heighten their vigilance.
This ancient forest, untouched by human exploration, had evolved into an independent ecosystem. Given the abundant energy permeating this realm, Su Yi deduced that powerful entities must surely exist here.
“Swoosh…”
Su Yi’s figure darted upward, landing atop a towering tree. His gaze swept across the area, attempting to gauge its expanse.
“The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords is already enigmatic. This location within the Battlefield is even more remarkable, having apparently eluded even the Divine Sword School cultivators. We must proceed with utmost caution.”
Situ Muyang ascended to the treetop, standing beside Su Yi as they surveyed their surroundings, emphasizing the need for vigilance.
“Understood,” Su Yi nodded.
The forest’s true extent remained unknown. Though unable to utilize the Dark Golden Demon Falcon for transport, they were cultivators who could harness vital energy. Even Liu Ji and the others maintained a reasonable pace.
“Roar!”
Half an hour later, before a brilliant manifestation of spiritual medicine, the group encountered their first significant demon beast.
It was an peculiar creature, unfamiliar even to Situ Muyang. Its cultivation level approached the Demonic True Realm.
Fortunately, Su Yi’s display of the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, with its overwhelming destructive pressure, deterred the beast from approaching, forcing its retreat.
This encounter caused Su Yi, Situ Muyang, and the others to draw sharp breaths. A demon beast approaching the Demonic True Realm would prove formidable if it chose to attack.
Following this encounter, the group proceeded with enhanced caution.
Over the next two hours, they discovered numerous spiritual medicines while encountering an increasing number of demon beasts.
Several demon beasts clearly possessed Demonic Spirit Realm power, yet they all recoiled from Su Yi’s aura, observing from a distance without approaching.
“Have you noticed the increasing frequency and strength of demon beast appearances? They all seem to be converging in our direction!”
Xu Jiahui spoke, scanning their surroundings with subtle alarm as she noted these peculiarities.
Upon hearing this, Su Yi and Situ Muyang carefully observed their environment.
The surrounding demon beasts, while maintaining their distance, had drawn closer than before. Moreover, they all appeared to be moving in a common direction.
Xu Jiahui’s keen observation highlighted this anomaly—women often possessed sharper intuition in certain aspects, independent of their strength.
“Most unusual.”
Su Yi halted, furrowing his brow. Their chosen path coincidentally aligned with the direction of the nearby demon beasts’ movement, which had prompted Xu Jiahui’s observation.
“What’s affecting them?!”
As Situ Muyang spoke while surveying their surroundings warily, he noticed the Dark Golden Demon Falcon and the Wolf-headed Demon Bats’ leader had advanced ahead, showing no signs of stopping.
“What’s happening to you?”
Su Yi called out in alarm.
However, the Dark Golden Demon Falcon and the Wolf-headed Demon Bats’ leader continued forward, seemingly deaf to Su Yi’s words.
“Something’s amiss!”
Su Yi’s expression shifted as he channeled elemental energy to his feet. His figure flickered as he moved to intercept the two demon beasts.
Though they acknowledged Su Yi’s presence calmly, they simply circumvented him and continued forward, their movements synchronized with the strange coordination of the surrounding demon beasts.
“They appear to be under some influence.”
Situ Muyang joined Su Yi, observing the two demon beasts with growing concern.
“Awaken!”
Su Yi’s expression turned solemn as he channeled the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, infusing it with elemental energy before directing a powerful shout toward his demon beast companions.
“Boom…”
The force of his cry shook the surrounding area, causing spatial tremors and Qi fluctuations throughout the ancient forest.
“Roarrrr!”
“Master!”
The Wolf-headed Demon Bats’ leader and the Dark Golden Demon Falcon’s eyes flickered as they turned around. The faint red gleam in their eyes dissipated as they regained awareness, appearing shocked and slightly trembling.
“Explain what happened,” Su Yi demanded.
“An inexplicable force was calling to me.”
“A strange sensation drew me forward.”
The demon beasts replied, still shaken. They recalled only a compelling force drawing them onward.
“Were you under control?”
Su Yi questioned, suspecting that the other demon beasts they’d encountered had been similarly influenced.
“Not exactly control—more like a summons carrying overwhelming pressure and a terrifying aura!”
“It resembled an emperor’s summons—impossible to resist!”
The demon beasts described their experience, emphasizing that it felt more like an irresistible calling than outright control.
Since Situ Muyang and Xu Jiahui couldn’t understand beast language, Su Yi relayed their accounts to ensure everyone remained vigilant against potential influence.
“Most peculiar—something significant must lie ahead!” Situ Muyang’s gaze intensified.
“The path forward likely holds great danger.”
Zhang Qing spoke nervously. The fact that even the Wolf-headed Demon Bats’ leader, at the Peak of the Fifth Grade of the Demonic Spirit Realm, had been unconsciously influenced was deeply concerning.
“Something crucial awaits ahead. I’ll investigate. Everyone maintain vigilance!”
After brief contemplation, Su Yi decided that having come this far, they should proceed.
“Let’s continue—I’m curious to see what lies within.”
Situ Muyang spoke eagerly, his youthful face betraying both inexperience and self-assured confidence, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
“This fellow has grown quite bold!”
Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and the others couldn’t help but feel somewhat bemused.
Over time, they’d witnessed Situ Muyang’s complete assimilation into Su Yi’s influence.
Now, when it came to adventures, feasts, and treasure hunting, Situ Muyang’s enthusiasm nearly matched Su Yi’s own.
