Chapter Seventy-Two: The Captive

Shangguan Jing was about to hide the Netherworld Grass, when suddenly, her head was dizzy, and the people and things in front of her became blurred. Her body collapsed weakly until she was unconscious.

The vial containing the Nether Grass fell to the ground with a 'plop'.

In her coma, she felt as if she was being pulled by an invisible force, constantly drifting in the darkness. Her consciousness drifted into chaos, and the air around her seemed to become scorching, as if she were being thrown into a raging flame. His eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them, and he could only let himself be pulled by this force until he fell into the abyss of a complete coma.

On the other side of this time, Mr. Yaoshi originally gave them an hour to look for the Nethergrass Grass, but seeing the passage of time minute by minute, he still didn't see Shangguan Jing for a long time.

"Have you ever seen Shangguan?"

They looked at each other and shook their heads.

Yi Biao's eyes gradually became solemn, "Master, is something happening?"

"I'll go find her." As soon as he said that, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Baihu turned to Mr. Yaoshi and said, "Sir, let's go look for Shangguan classmates, you go back to Jiuling first."

"Okay, wait for your news."

The white tiger and the boy followed, and they headed deeper into the forest.

In the forest, there are bursts of fog, and the surrounding is surrounded by towering trees that are impermeable, blocking the sunlight and only occasionally spilling a few rays of light on the ground through the gaps in the leaves. They went all the way into the forest, not missing a corner, and just as they walked into the depths of the forest, there was a sudden movement in the distance.

"Shh Yi Biao motioned for everyone to be quiet, and he quickly followed the source of the sound and found a thin spirit beast wearing a brocade robe, with a single horn on its head, playing with the glass bottle dropped by Shangguan Jing. It curled up the bottle with its long tail and flew up and down, but Shangguan Jing was never seen.

When the spirit beast saw Yi Yang and his party, he became inexplicably vigilant. Its tail dropped the bottle, and its body tensed, as if ready to flee at any moment.

Yi Yang didn't speak, he slowly approached the spirit beast, trying to find Shangguan Jing's traces.

When the spirit beast saw Yi Biao, it seemed to see an acquaintance, and lowered its head meekly.

"Have you ever seen this girl?" Yi Biao said, he took out a portrait of Shangguan Jing from his arms and showed it to the spirit beast, it looked at the portrait, a trace of doubt flashed in its eyes, and then shook its head.

"She might be somewhere in this forest, can you help us find her?" Yi Biao tried to communicate with the spirit animal, hoping that it would provide some clues.

The spirit beast pondered for a moment, circled around the bottle a few times, then nodded, turned and walked deeper into the forest.

"Keep up with it!" They followed closely behind, following the footsteps of the spirit beast deeper into the forest.

Not far away, sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves of the trees and spreads into a clearing. The spirit beast stopped when he arrived at the spring with Yi Yang and his party, and then walked to the spring, bowed his head and slowly drank the cool spring water. The calm surface of the lake rippled in circles, glittering in the sunlight.

"It turns out that this spirit beast is thirsty."

The white tiger couldn't help but feel funny.

"Somebody has been here." Yi Biao pointed to the footprints in the grass and said, the white tiger and the young man hurriedly approached when they saw this, and looked at the grass by the spring to see a few messy footprints.

He bent down and looked closely at the footprints, and found that they were much larger than ordinary people's footprints, and had a strange shape, like the footprints of some strange creature.

"Master, this is a bit like the footprints of that monster when we first entered the hidden mountain."

Yi Yang's heart tightened, could it be that Shangguan Jing was taken away by the man in black?

They followed the footprints all the way, through a dense wood, and finally came to the entrance of a cave. The entrance to the cave is obscured by dense foliage, and it is impossible to spot it without looking closely. They cautiously entered the cave, which was pitch black, and they could only grope their way forward. After walking for about ten minutes, they vaguely saw a light coming through in front of them, accompanied by a strange smell.

The monster that had fought them was now lying on the ground dying, a pool of blue blood flowing from beneath it.

"Master, it's that monster!" The white tiger recognized at a glance the monster that had fought with them.

"Don't startle the snake yet, the monster we fought against at that time was not his real body, someone separated his demon spirit from his physical body."

"Master, you mean, what we see now is the true body of that monster!" The white tiger was taken aback.

"Yes, I'm afraid that his demon spirit has been shattered, and now he can only survive the rest of his life."

Who would have the power to defeat the demons? Yi Yang's pupils shrank, I am afraid that it is an extraordinary person who has been kidnapped to Guanjing.
