At the borders of the ancient battlefield.
In midair, a spirit light streaked through at an extremely fast speed.
If one focused their gaze, they would be able to vaguely make out ten cultivators and a demon beast seated on the spirit vessel. There was also a green-robed cultivator standing at the bow of the vessel, steering it forward.
That green-robed cultivator was none other than Su Zimo.
On the spirit vessel, the injured cultivators had already bandaged their wounds and changed into clean Daoist robes. However, their faces were still pale and they could not hide their fatigue and weakness.
Everyone looked at the green-robed cultivator standing at the front with a myriad of emotions.
It could be said that if not for Su Zimo, all of them would have died in this expedition to the ancient battlefield.
Right now, none of them even had the strength to use Sword Kinesis Flight.
However, Su Zimo was still able to control the flying spirit vessel even after killing three six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Everyone was shocked by his immense stamina.
There was even a hint of fear in the depths of Jun Hao's eyes.
Before long, the spirit vessel stopped at the foot of a mountain.
Su Zimo leaped down and arrived at a cave at the foot of the mountain according to the map. It was rather spacious and could be used as a temporary resting place.
After everyone entered the cave, Su Zimo began setting up formations at the entrance of the cave.
Everyone was injured and although their bleeding had stopped, the stench of blood was still emitted. Many living beings of the ancient era were extremely sensitive to such auras and would definitely come looking for them.
Therefore, Su Zimo had to set up a few simple formations at the entrance of the cave to isolate the aura and sound within. Coupled with a concealment formation, it was only safe.
They were all support formations that were relatively simple and Su Zimo was done setting them up by nightfall.
Ji Yaoxue walked over and said, "Zimo, let's take turns keeping watch tonight."
"That's right, bro. You can rest tonight and we'll take turns keeping watch. Don't worry," Little Fatty patted his chest and promised loudly.
Throughout the entire process, none of them were of much help. Feeling embarrassed, they wanted to help Su Zimo share some of the burden.
"No need."
Su Zimo waved his hand and said, "You guys should quickly recuperate and recover your strength. Night Spirit will stand guard here."
At the mention of Night Spirit, fear flashed in everyone's eyes.
Although Night Spirit's attack during the battle during the day was brief, it was still too shocking.
If Su Zimo gave off an unfathomable feeling, then Night Spirit only gave off one emotion — fear!
…
Nightfall.
Today, everyone had experienced too much. They were both physically and mentally exhausted. When they finally managed to relax, most of them had already fallen asleep.
The Night Spirit got up and quietly walked out of the cave. His figure disappeared into the darkness.
Su Zimo was not worried about Night Spirit.
Night Spirit's current strength was equivalent to the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. Furthermore, this was the edge of the Ancient Mountain Battlefield, so there was nothing that could threaten it.
Su Zimo sat quietly in the cave, sorting out today's harvest.
There was a total of more than 60 storage bags!
Although there were no supreme-grade spirit weapons, there was a considerable number of superior-grade spirit weapons. Furthermore, there were quite a number of elixirs.
Su Zimo picked through them and kept the perfect-grade elixirs for his own consumption. He put the rest together.
After sorting out everything, Su Zimo took out a few maps that he obtained and compared them.
A fragrance wafted over as Ji Yaoxue came beside Su Zimo and sat down.
"Why? Can't sleep?"
Su Zimo glanced sideways and asked softly.
In the darkness, Ji Yaoxue pursed her lips and said softly, "Zimo, thank you … for today."
"It's fine."
Su Zimo smiled.
When she saw Su Zimo's smile, Ji Yaoxue relaxed and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"You came at the right time. Do you know of any clues to the ancient ruins?" Su Zimo asked.
Entering the ancient battlefield to cultivate was only one aspect. The most important thing was to obtain the Meridian Unlocking Elixir, other treasures and inheritances.
And these things could only exist in the remains of the ancient battlefield.
"No."
Ji Yaoxue shook her head. "Most of the ruins at the borders of the ancient battlefield have been scoured clean and there are very few that haven't been discovered."
"Take a look at this."
Su Zimo opened the maps in his hands and placed them in front of Ji Yaoxue. He pointed to a red dot on the map and said, "This location is highlighted on these maps. I suspect that this is the ancient ruin that the Great Shang and Great Xia discovered! "
"Indeed."
Ji Yaoxue picked up the maps and compared them before nodding.
Ji Yaoxue was a little tempted. However, a look of worry flashed through her eyes. "We don't have many people right now. This ruin will definitely attract many factions and cultivators to fight for it. There might be a fierce battle ahead."
"It's fine,"
Su Zimo smiled gently. "There aren't any strong major sects or top cultivators at the borders of the ancient battlefield. Furthermore, the Great Shang and Great Xia dynasties have already been defeated by us and are no longer a threat. "
"When do we set off then?" Ji Yaoxue asked.
"10 days later."
Su Zimo said in a deep voice, "In the next 10 days, recuperate from your injuries, consolidate your cultivation realms and adjust your states before setting off."
The two of them chatted for a while more before Ji Yaoxue returned to rest under Su Zimo's urging.
Su Zimo's gaze shifted to Jun Hao who was in the crowd.
Su Zimo could vaguely sense that there was something wrong with Jun Hao. However, he did not have any evidence and could not kill the latter just because of his odd expression.
However, Su Zimo was certain that one of the remaining people was a spy of the Great Xia Dynasty with a high status.
Su Zimo retracted his gaze and smiled calmly.
No matter who the spy was, he would not dare to act rashly after today.
In the face of absolute power, those petty tricks were nothing more than jokes!
Late at night.
A dark shadow walked in from outside the cave. It was silent and did not alert anyone.
Sensing something, Su Zimo opened his eyes and glanced at Night Spirit.
He caught a familiar scent of blood on Night Spirit.
It was the aura of the Blood Centipede Queen!
In the past six hours, Night Spirit had returned to the desert and killed the Blood Centipede Queen!
Su Zimo could not help but laugh – he was the only one who could guess Night Spirit's thoughts.
During the day, Night Spirit was protecting Su Xiaoning and could not go too far. It could only be chased by a group of Blood Centipedes and was probably filled with anger.
At night, Su Zimo guarded the place while Night Spirit went to kill the Blood Centipede Queen!
Su Zimo stood up and nodded to Night Spirit.
The man and beast had a tacit understanding. Night Spirit returned and guarded the cave while Su Zimo left.
Due to the soundproof formation, the cave was completely silent.
The moment he left the cave, Su Zimo heard the roars of ferocious beasts and the chirping of birds. The ground shook, the ancient trees swayed and the grass rustled – it was as though some terrifying existence was approaching. It was horrifying!
It was a completely different world inside and outside the cave!
Despite being in such an environment, Su Zimo did not have any fear in his eyes. Instead, he was excited and there was an aura within his body that was restless.
At night, the world of ancient demon beasts.
It was also Su Zimo's world!
That was because from a certain perspective, Su Zimo … was a demon!
