Chapter 66: Phantom Beasts
Ye Ning and the three of them followed the old man surnamed Duan, and on the way, Ye Ning and Xiao Yuqing put on their masks again, and Chu Lingjun also put on the veil.
There will definitely be a lot of people to see later, and in order to reduce some unnecessary trouble, the three of them once again hide their identities.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the three of them, under the leadership of the old man surnamed Duan, to quickly meet the dozens of people who had come to look for the Silver Soul Fruit and had gathered together.
"These three Daoists also have good strength, and they will go to pick the Silver Soul Fruit with us later!", the old man surnamed Duan briefly introduced Ye Ning to everyone.
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Ning and the three of them, and they all glanced at the three of them indifferently, and there was no other reaction.
When these people looked at Ye Ning, Ye Ning also glanced at them.
Many of these people also concealed their appearance.
The reason they do this is simple.
If everyone can defeat those blocking demon beasts later, everyone will inevitably fight for the Silver Soul Fruit, and they don't have to worry about being recognized after hiding their identities, and they will have a lot less scruples in the later battles.
"Without further ado, let's go over together!", the old man surnamed Duan spoke again, and took off into the air and flew towards the mist-shrouded mountain.
Everyone took to the air and followed.
The mountain where the Silver Soul Fruit Tree grew was different from the surrounding mountains, it was completely shrouded in a thick fog, like a veil of thin veils.
"Squeak....... As the crowd flew over the mountain, a red cloud rose from the mountain below, accompanied by an eagle's roar.
"It's a blood eagle, there are at least tens of thousands!", after seeing the rising 'red cloud', many people's faces changed greatly.
The Blood Eagle is a ferocious group demon beast, with an adult Blood Eagle wingspan of more than two meters, and has the same strength as a cultivator in the early stage of the Ten Thousand Streams Realm.
"Go down!", the old man surnamed Duan immediately decided.
The Blood Eagles are so numerous that they will be attacked on all sides if they are fought in the air, and when they fall to the ground, they can use the dense trees to resist the attacks of the Blood Eagles.
When the group landed, they collided with the blood eagle that was rushing upward.
"Boom ......", Ye Ning slapped it with one palm, and dozens of blood eagles turned into broken bones and blood rain sprinkled.
He shot continuously, slashed many blood eagles in the air with his palm strength, and then landed safely on the ground with Xiao Yuqing and Chu Lingjun.
However, the moment he landed on the ground, his brow furrowed.
By the time he landed on the ground, he had released his mind to survey his surroundings.
He found that there were demon beasts everywhere for several miles around, "How can there be so many demon beasts here?"
There were too many demon beasts gathered here, and although he had been mentally prepared, the actual situation was still beyond his expectations.
After everyone landed, the demon beasts all over the mountains immediately swarmed in.
"Roaring ......"
"Hiss......"
"Squeaky ......"
The roar of the beast, the hiss of the giant python, and the grinding of the giant insect sounded at the same time, and all kinds of demon beasts rushed towards everyone from all directions.
"Snort ......", Ye Ning's red rainbow sword spun around the three of them, slashing the multi-headed demon beast that rushed in.
However, there are too many monsters coming in.
Xiao Yuqing also made a move, and displayed the small magic power of transforming into Chaoyuan, condensing multiple golden lightsabers to rotate around the three of them, guarding the three of them together with the Red Rainbow Sword.
"How can there be so many demon beasts?", Chu Lingjun was also extremely surprised.
The fierce battle unfolded, and the smell of blood soon filled the nostrils, and there were broken corpses of demon beasts everywhere, but the demon beasts did not have the slightest intention of flinching.
"Although these demon beasts are not of high rank, they are all not afraid of death!", Ye Ning noticed a trace of abnormality.
Under normal circumstances, the intelligence of demon beasts is not low, and they will instinctively dodge when they encounter danger, and it is impossible to attack everyone desperately like this.
"Look, there are human cultivators in the group of demon beasts!", Xiao Yuqing said suddenly.
Ye Ning looked in the direction she was looking at, and there was a human cultivator with tattered clothes who was rushing in the direction where everyone was following the demon beast herd.
The Terran cultivator's movements were stiff, and he seemed to have lost his mind!
"I understand, the demon beasts here are all controlled by others!", Ye Ning reacted instantly.
At this moment, "Wow woo ......", a baby's cry suddenly sounded, and after the surrounding demon beasts heard this sound, their attacks on everyone became more and more ferocious.
"It's a phantom beast!", Ye Ning said suddenly.
"What is a phantom beast?", Chu Lingjun immediately asked beside him when he heard this.
"A demon beast with very strong spiritual power, which can control the spiritual intelligence of demon beasts or humans!", Ye Ning said.
"It turns out that there is a phantom beast here!", the old man surnamed also heard the conversation between Ye Ning and the three of them next to him, "The old man has heard of this strange beast, but it is the first time he has encountered it, and it is rumored that this strange beast has very strong spiritual power, is good at performing illusions, and is very cunning,...... Do you have a way to deal with this phantom beast?"
The phantom beast is a very rare demon beast, and the old man surnamed Duan doesn't know much about this strange beast, so he simply asks Ye Ning for advice.
"If you want to solve the current predicament, you need to catch this phantom beast, but this strange beast is fast and very agile, only if a cultivator above the Xuan Realm makes a move, it is possible to catch him!" Ye Ning said simply.
His words are half-truthful.
Above the Divine Awakening Realm is the Transcendence Realm, and the cultivators of the Transcendence Realm can indeed catch this phantom beast, but such cultivators are too rare!
At least, it is basically not present among the people present.
Sure enough, Ye Ning's voice fell, and no one among the people present accosted him.
"If you can't catch this phantom beast, you won't be able to pick the Silver Soul Fruit, it seems that you can only give up halfway today!", Ye Ning said, "Then the three of us will leave first!"
His voice fell, and he immediately headed away from the mountain.
Xiao Yuqing and Chu Lingjun, both with Ye Ning as the mainstay, also immediately followed Ye Ning.
Seeing that the three of them left, the old man surnamed and others also began to retreat, and the matter of everyone working together to pick the Silver Soul Fruit came to an end hastily.
"Ye Ning, are we leaving the Falling Cloud Mountain Range now?", after leaving the mist-shrouded mountain, there were no demon beasts chasing after him, Chu Lingjun asked.
"Wait ......"
"What are you waiting for?"
"After these people leave here, we'll go pick the Silver Soul Fruit!", Ye Ning said simply.
Chu Lingjun's expression froze, revealing surprise, "Didn't you say that if you can't catch the phantom beast, you won't be able to pick the silver soul fruit?"
"Of course I can't catch it, but I have a way to subdue it!", Ye Ning said simply.
Ye Ning has the memory of the Immortal Heavenly Emperor, has a wide range of knowledge, and has a way to subdue phantom beasts.
However, he won't make a move until the other people competing for the Silver Soul Fruit have left, otherwise, even if he subdues the phantom beast, there will be another bloody storm in order to compete for the Silver Soul Fruit.
To him, the old man and the others were just some insignificant strangers, and he naturally wouldn't share the opportunities he might get with them.
