Next to that firelight was none other than Yan Ruyu, who had a conflict with Huo Xiu at the Demon Eradication Conference.

Being able to meet this guy here, Huo Xiu couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Yan Ruyu's realm, Huo Xiu is very clear. The spirit grass spirit fruit produced by this Empty Stygian Mountain had no effect on Yan Ruyu at all.

But since Yan Ruyu came and looked like he was on the same route as Huo Xiu, there was only one goal, which was the Ice Spirit Fruit near Hantan.

Huo Xiu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he had completely guessed Yan Ruyu's plan, it should be to use the Ice Spirit Fruit to save Yan Rufeng's life, which was severely burned.

But how could Huo Xiu let Yan Ruyu succeed, Yan Rufeng ended up in such a miserable situation, all of which were caused by Yan Ruyu's tricks.

What's even more odious is that Huo Xiuben may have been a victim. However, he was asked by Mu Lao to lose, and secondly, he vaguely felt the fierceness of his red eyes, so he retreated bravely.

Unexpectedly, Yan Ruyu was still indomitable, and she had to put the responsibility on Huo Xiu, which also made Huo Xiu a little angry.

What's even more odious is that Yan Ruyu directly threatened to secretly attack Huo Xiu when he participated in the Nanshan Sect trial.

Although I don't know what Yan Ruyu will do, this has touched Huo Xiu's bottom line, and the two sides are already endless, Huo Xiu is naturally happy to see his younger brother continue to lie down.

Now, Yan Ruyu and the others have set up their tents, presumably to rest on the spot. This just gave Huo Xiu enough time, he wanted to rush ahead of Yan Ruyu, rush to Hantan overnight, and take the Ice Spirit Fruit.

In this way, without Yan Ruyu's knowledge, Huo Xiu was already ahead of them.

Early the next morning, Yan Ruyu walked out of the tent early, stretched her waist, and asked the guards who were keeping vigil, "Was there nothing wrong last night?"

The guard hurriedly saluted and responded, "Back to the young master, there will be nothing to do all night." ”

Yan Ruyu nodded and shouted loudly: "Let's set off now, and strive to get to Hantan in the afternoon." ”

Soon, the other guards got out of the tent, and they hurriedly packed up and rushed to their destination according to the instructions on the map.

At this time, Huo Xiu had already reached Hantan, but as soon as he stood still, he was immediately dumbfounded.

I saw that this cold pool was not on the flat ground, but deep in a valley. From afar, it looks like a blue gemstone set in the mountains.

Although the scenery is good, it also attracts a large number of wild beasts to inhabit it, the most problematic of which is the thousands of ironback crocodiles.

These crocodiles have used Hantan as their territory, and they have surrounded them, and if they want to pick the Ice Spirit Fruit, they will definitely not be able to avoid them.

Moreover, these crocodiles are not small, four or five times larger than ordinary ones, and the scale armor on their backs exudes a jet-black luster under the sunlight, which looks extremely hard.

This crocodile seems to have at least the strength of the Terran Qi Realm.

And in the middle of the cold pool, the crocodile king, which was more than ten times the size of an ordinary crocodile, was probably going straight to the Terran Penetrating Realm. Coupled with its large number of subordinates, even if it encounters a martial artist in the Clutch Realm, it has the strength to fight.

There are so many crocodiles that the valley has been so crowded that even the only passage that can enter the valley has been blocked by crocodiles.

It seemed that Huo Xiu wanted to pick the Ice Spirit Fruit smoothly, so he had to go toe-to-toe with this group of crocodiles.

Huo Xiu couldn't help frowning, with his current strength, it was okay to deal with a few iron-backed crocodiles, but these thousands of crocodiles, even if he was exhausted, he couldn't kill them cleanly.

Suddenly, Huo Xiu's head had a flash of inspiration and came up with a countermeasure.

Huo Xiu's body moved, and he walked quickly towards the valley.

Before he reached the entrance of the valley, he saw more than a dozen crocodiles surrounding, raising their mouths one after another and biting Huo Xiu.

Huo Xiu did not resist head-on, but took a sharp breath, jumped up, and performed the Yanluo Step Combat Technique, stepping on the cliff on the side of the mountain pass.

Although these crocodiles were huge, they were helpless against Huo Xiu above their heads, and could only watch him step on the cliff sideways and run all the way to the valley.

On all sides of the valley, except for a small gap for access, there are cliffs hundreds of feet high on all sides, and these cliffs are so smooth that ordinary warriors can't even stand, let alone stay there.

But Huo Xiu's Yan Luo Step has been upgraded to mastery, not to mention horizontally, even if it is hanging upside down, there is no problem at all. It was with great ease that he stepped on these cliffs and rushed into the valley.

In the valley, ironback crocodiles occupy all the territory, not even an inch of open space.

Huo Xiu had no choice but to find a stone protruding from the cliff wall and rest for the time being.

Next, what Huo Xiu had to do was to wait patiently, waiting for someone to come and help him clean up the ironback crocodiles in the valley.

Finally, as the sun passed overhead, Huo Xiu suddenly heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the valley. He immediately looked over and found that a group of warriors had already fought with the crocodiles blocking the valley mouth, and the leader was Yan Ruyu.

Huo Xiu shook his head, quickly hid his figure, and closely watched Taniguchi's condition.

At this time, Yan Ruyu, who was at the forefront, also felt quite big. The jade slip he had purchased was very brief, and there was no mention of the beasts entrenched near Hantan.

Even though with Yan Ruyu's strength, he could kill an iron-backed crocodile with a flip of his hand, but his true qi was limited after all, and there were still a lot of crocodiles gushing out in the valley, and for a while, he couldn't get through this road at all.

"Withdraw! This road is not open, let's see if there are other passages in this valley!"

Yan Ruyu fiercely repelled the group of crocodiles that came up from the siege, and pulled out of the battle circle.

Seeing this, the other guards also followed closely behind Yan Ruyu and quickly escaped.

In the valley, Huo Xiu, who had been paying close attention to the battle situation, couldn't help but sneer.

"This Yan Ruyu is really not giving up, and he wants to find a shortcut, but unfortunately it won't be long before he has to go back the same way. ”

Sure enough, more than an hour later, Yan Ruyu returned.

At this time, Yan Ruyu's face was gloomy, and her heart was even more resentful.

They have circled the entire valley without finding any shortcuts. Even rappelling from a nearby mountain is one option. But the valley was crowded with iron-backed crocodiles, and doing so was no different from sending them to death.

Now, the only thing Yan Ruyu and the others can do is to clean up the crocodiles blocking the entrance and then enter the valley. There is no other way.

But these crocodiles are very grouped, and they keep pouring out, and if they want to really open the entrance, Yan Ruyu and they have to spend a lot of effort.
