The old man originally wanted to capture the spirit beast in one fell swoop, but he still underestimated the strength of the spirit beast. When he was about to get closer, he saw that the hair on the spirit beast's body suddenly shot out, like sharp needles.

What's even more terrifying is that those thin needles can ignore the barrier formed by the condensation of spiritual power. In desperation, the old man could only choose to dodge.

However, the attack of those fine needles was full range, 360 degrees without dead ends, plus there was no cover around, and in just an instant, five or six men's bodies were pierced by the thin needles and fell to the ground injured.

"Brute!" Xu Chong shouted angrily, his hands sealed, and there were words in his mouth.

Suddenly, a brilliant blue light burst out, instantly filling the entire space. Looking closely, a flying sword appeared above Xu Chong's head, circling around his body, with a fierce momentum.

"Hurry!"

Under the control of his mind, the flying sword immediately turned into a beam of green light and shot out, heading straight for the spirit beast.

"Be careful!" the old man hurriedly reminded, "Don't hurt its life." ”

As soon as the words fell, the spirit beast suddenly jumped up from the ground, and then opened its bloody mouth, and actually bit the flying sword with a hard bite.

Seeing this, Xu Chong couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly took back the flying sword. However, the flying sword shook desperately in the spirit beast's mouth, as if it wanted to break free, but no matter how hard it tried, it was all in vain.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Lai secretly shook his head, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the strength of that spirit beast would be so terrifying. If the people of Hongming Company want to capture it alive, they are afraid that they will have to pay a heavy price.

"Xu Chong, take Xiaojie and them to retreat first. ”

Hearing the old man's words, although Xu Chong, who was angry, was unwilling, he could only obey. After a short time, except for the old man who was left alone in the palace, everyone took their wounded companions and retreated, and slowly returned to the stone gate.

However, as soon as everyone was about to take a rest, they saw the old man coming quickly and shouted urgently, "Quick, prepare to close the door!"

As the old man got closer and closer, everyone noticed that the sleeves of the old man's clothes were stained red with blood, and his arms were hanging weakly, obviously suffering serious injuries. This surprise was not trivial, because they all knew that the old man was a powerhouse in the Great Immortal Realm, and no matter where he went, he was one of the top masters, and even he suffered a loss, which showed how powerful that beast was.

Seeing the stone gate slowly closing, Jiang Lai couldn't help but be stunned.

Depend on!

He was still in it and didn't go out, did he want to be in the same room with that spirit beast?

After thinking about it, he only heard a 'bang', and the heavy stone door closed again, blocking the pursuing spirit beast inside. The way out was blocked, and the spirit beast seemed to be very annoyed, and kept roaring in place, and then slammed its body against the stone door.

What was shocking was that under the continuous impact of the spirit beast, cracks appeared on the surface of the stone door, crisscrossing and crisscrossing.

Jiang Lai's heart sank, he knew very well how strong the stone gate was, but he didn't expect the power of that spirit beast to be terrifying. Once it escapes, God knows what trouble will happen. Now, he finally understood why that spirit beast was imprisoned here in chains.

"No, let's find a way to get out of here first. ”

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lai quietly walked out of the hideout, ready to find another way out. However, he had just walked not far when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if he was being targeted by something, and a chill unconsciously emerged from the soles of his feet.

He turned around slowly, and as expected, the spirit beast was standing not far away, a pair of dark green eyes staring at him, its sharp teeth exposed, and its fierce appearance was revealed.

Seeing this, Jiang Lai's heart chuckled, and he secretly said badly. He underestimated the brute's acuity, and he was able to detect his presence.

Seeing that spirit beast approaching step by step, Jiang Lai slowly exhaled a breath and said, "I have no grievances with you, just to have a good time, anyway, we are all trapped here, it is better to live in peace, what do you think?"

I don't know if the other party understood what he meant, and a series of strange screams came out of his mouth. Seeing that it had not launched an offensive for a long time, Jiang Lai's heart was relieved, it seemed that this guy understood.

Just as he was thinking, the spirit beast moved its footsteps and slowly approached, the fierce light in its eyes gradually dissipated, and even the hair that stood up returned to its original state.

Jiang Lai hesitated for a moment, and simply stood still, but his body was tense, always ready for battle. When the spirit beast approached, I saw it rubbing its head against his trouser leg, and it was extremely docile, like a tamed dog.

Such a change surprised Jiang Lai, when he faced the group of people in Hongming Company just now, he had seen the fierceness of the other party with his own eyes, but he didn't know why, in front of him, it became extremely well-behaved.

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out the reason, but faintly, he felt that this spirit beast was very similar to bones in some ways.

Suddenly, the spirit beast lying at his feet took advantage of his inattention, suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit him fiercely on his calf. With a heart-piercing pain, Jiang Lai's face changed slightly, and he was just about to make a move to break free. But at this moment, the anomaly suddenly happened, and he felt as if something had been injected into his mind, and it was extremely painful, as if countless messages were flooding his brain.

This process lasted for about a few minutes, and when the spirit beast let go of its mouth, Jiang Lai only felt that his consciousness was in a trance, and the whole person was confused, and he sat directly on the ground, gasping for breath.

After resting for a long time, he gradually recovered. At the same time, he was surprised to see that the spirit beast was lying on the ground, its body became very weak, and it seemed that it couldn't hold on for long.

He slowly stood up, observing the spirit beast with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand, what was all this about?

After a while, the other party's aura became weaker and weaker until it disappeared.

Jiang Lai leaned over to check it, and after confirming that it was dead, he didn't know why, a sad emotion inexplicably appeared in his heart, as if the spirit beast in front of him had a deep bloodline connection with him.

There was silence for a long time, and only when his mood calmed down a little did Jiang Lai walk towards the stone gate. Originally, he didn't want to contact the people of Hongming's company, but he had too many doubts in his heart, so he needed an answer, and the people of the Xu family seemed to know a lot of secrets.

As the stone gate slowly opened, Jiang Lai walked out slowly under the surprised eyes of everyone.

"Is it you?" Xu Jie looked at it a few times, slightly stunned, and his face was full of surprise, "You...... Why are you here?"

"Xiaojie, do you know him?"

Xu Jie nodded, "Grandpa, he is the Jiang Lai I mentioned to you, last time in Yihe Town, he was the one who bid for all the auction items." ”
