Chapter Eighty-Six: The Horned Beast
In the silence of the mountains, a large group of people walked silently, everyone's eyes were vigilant, paying attention to the wind and grass around them.
Walking in the front are three burly men, the leader of whom has slightly dark skin, beard, blazing eyes, heavy breath on his body, and steady steps.
This group of people is Ye Xuan and others, and the leader is the guide Hong Dao this time.
After a day's progress, they had already begun to go deep into the mountains.
It is a dense forest of shade and tranquility, overgrown with weeds, towering trees, and ridiculously thick trunks.
Looking up, the trees were so tall that they couldn't see the top, and they were dense, except for the place where Ye Xuan and the others walked, the rest of the place was almost covered by the big trees, and there was no room for it, and it was impossible to pass by.
Ye Xuan followed the team and walked with Jiang Qiwen, observing the surrounding situation at all times and staying vigilant.
In addition, many people are looking around, as if they want to imprint the situation along the way, and remember the route of this mountain and dense forest.
Hong Dao, who was leading the way in front, obviously noticed this, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, but he maintained a tacit attitude towards this and did not stop it.
The same was true of the two big men who followed him, ignoring the actions of the others, their eyes glowing with ridicule.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was puzzled, and whispered in a low voice: "Aren't they afraid that this shortcut will be leaked, and they haven't taken any confidentiality measures." β
At the beginning, Ye Xuan thought that Hong Dao and the others would use some means to cover everyone's senses and spiritual senses, take a lot first, and then officially hit the road to ensure the secrecy of the route and not be leaked.
I didn't think about it, I didn't do anything, so I set off directly.
This is puzzling and surprising to everyone's expectations, isn't the controlling party afraid of the shortcut to Wansen Ridge being leaked?
"It seems that Little Brother Ye Xuan doesn't know yet, in fact, even if they all remember this route, they won't be able to find this place next time, so it's impossible to leak the shortcut. β
At this time, Jiang Qiwen beside him explained in a low voice, he glanced at the others, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Immediately after, the girl named Jiang Li glanced at Ye Xuan with disdain, and then turned her head away. She still doesn't understand why her brother wants to choose a ghost whose realm is not as good as her to cooperate, and he has not played any role along the way.
For Jiang Li, Jiang Qiwen was also a little helpless, and said to Jiang Lishen: "Li'er!"
"Hmph!" Seeing this, Jiang Li snorted lightly and didn't say anything.
"Little brother Ye Xuan, don't be surprised. β
Ye Xuan directly ignored Jiang Li's reaction, he didn't say anything about it, but wondered: "Could it be that there is something hidden in this?"
After Jiang Qiwen shook his head and smiled bitterly, he straightened his expression and continued to explain to Ye Xuan: "Actually, I only learned not long ago, the shortcut we are taking now is not fixed, but will change every once in a while, if there is no special means, it will not be found and positioned at all. β
"How could it be. Hearing this, Ye Xuan was taken aback, and his eyes couldn't help but look around, trying to find out something.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze and found nothing.
"Brother Jiang, I can't find anything special, but I think what you said is true. Ye Xuan said in a low voice, he glanced at the Hong Dao people who were leading the way at the front, turning a blind eye to the actions of others, very calm, not afraid of leaking this shortcut.
Ye Xuan retracted his gaze and muttered, "It seems that in the hands of all parties behind it, there are things that have the shortcut to Wansen Ridge. β
But he still couldn't see where the odd place was, just a shortcut.
Jiang Qi nodded and walked forward silently, because he was the same, he couldn't see anything at all, and he had no clue.
The crowd was still marching, walking on a route that could only be called a gap in the forest, and their bodies forcibly plunged into all kinds of dense ancient vines and long grass, making a "rustling" sound.
Since entering the mountain, I have encountered several waves of demon beasts along the way, and even some of them have come in groups of three or five, but fortunately, they have not yet penetrated, and the intensity of the attack is not strong, and it has not caused much damage, only a few people were caught off guard and were slightly injured.
At this time, Ye Xuan moved his gaze to a young man in front of him, and there were five or six people gathered around him, centered on him.
As far as he knew, that man's name was Zhu Biya, and in the attacks of the demon beasts just now, he showed extraordinary strength, and he was in the forefront among everyone.
"There is a situation, everyone be careful!"
Suddenly, there was a shout ahead, breaking the silence ahead.
"Roar!"
There was a roar, like thunder, that shook the place, and was accompanied by the sound of branches breaking, and the "click" sound was incessant, and it hurried towards everyone.
A compelling demonic aura permeated, and everyone slowly leaned together as if they were facing a great enemy, no longer scattered, and shrank back.
Ye Xuan's expression moved, he could feel that the situation he was facing this time was not very simple, because the roar was too shocking, and the aura that permeated it was even more depressing.
"Everyone is vigilant and ready to respond. β
Hong Dao stood in front and shouted loudly, a coldness rose on his rough face, and the qi on his body quietly condensed.
He has been leading the way in this mountain for many years and has rich experience, but it is the first time that he can give him such a strong sense of oppression.
"Devil-horned beast!"
After a while, a fierce beast appeared in front of everyone and rushed towards them, causing many people to change color.
This fierce beast has a crocodile tail with a tiger body, its whole body is blood-red and almost black, and its back is covered with a thick layer of scale armor, and it is upside down, like a sharp blade inserted upside down, like a sharp blade cast in red blood, and its claws are like blades, flashing with cold light.
Moreover, there are three horns on the skull, which are cone-shaped, and they exude a dangerous aura, and the two fangs are like hooks, and they are vicious and hideous.
"No, it's a mutated Devilhorn, even more ferocious. Hong Dao's expression was solemn, and his voice was very depressed and low.
Hearing this, everyone became more vigilant, they could already see that this Devilhorn Beast was much stronger than the usual ones, and everyone also noticed that the Devilhorn Beast in front of them had three horns, while the ordinary Devilhorn Beast only had two.
Because of this, everyone was surprised, because the most powerful thing about the Devilhorn was its horns, which contained amazing power.
The mutated Devilhorn Beast that appeared now has three horns, and everyone knows what this means, but they don't know what level of its true strength is.
At this time, Ye Xuan was also engrossed, not daring to be careless, and preparing to deal with it with all his might.
"At least the strength of the late stage of the Wheel Elephant Realm. Ye Xuan secretly said, this is just a conservative estimate, if the Demon Horn Beast uses the power of its horns, it will be even more terrifying.
Moreover, the one in front of him is still a mutated demon-horned beast with three horns.
Ye Xuan glanced at everyone, at present, among their group, the highest cultivation is Hong Dao, who has already stepped into the late stage of the Wheel Elephant Realm, but he can see that Hong Dao should have stepped into the late stage of the Wheel Elephant Realm not long ago, and it is not enough to consolidate.
"Roarβ"
The Devilhorn Beast arrived, its scarlet eyes glowing with a fierce light, its bloody mouth dripping with saliva, and a foul smell wafting away.
"No, more than one!" exclaimed, with a trilling voice in his words, pointing ahead.
"Damn it!"
Everyone was shocked, their hearts sank, they completely changed color, and the most unwanted thing happened, and they really fell into a crisis at this moment.
