Facing seven divine-tier exotic beasts, Long Yu would have to spend a lot of effort to deal with them. But for Gu Yixian, a few of them could be dealt with with with a single slash.
After killing the exotic beasts in front of them, Gu Yixian continued forward. The other members of the cracked tooth squad were already used to this, so they didn't stop and continued moving forward.
Long Yu was protected by the four of them in the center. Soon, they had ventured hundreds of kilometers into the wellspring.
They had just left the edge of the wellspring and were just beginning to venture deeper. They were still far away from the real gathering place of the exotic beasts, but nests had already begun to appear nearby. The one that the cracked tooth squad had discovered was the one closest to the edge.
If they ventured deeper, there would be countless exotic beast nests. However, it was too dangerous for a team like the Broken Tooth Squad. If two exotic beasts from the King Path Secret Realm attacked them together, they could only sit and wait for their deaths.
"We're almost there."
Gu Yixian said in a soft voice, then stopped.
The four members of the cracked tooth squad, together with Long Yu, gathered under a large tree and began to discuss their next strategy.
"Mountain Ghost, the exotic beast nest we discovered is just ahead. There shouldn't be any human or monster cultivators around here, but there are withered exotic beasts everywhere. You have to be careful at all times."
Gu Wenshan said to Long Yu with a solemn expression, "Enter the exotic beast nest to explore. If there is any danger or important discovery, immediately retreat. We'll come up with a strategy based on what you find."
"Mm, don't worry. You guys be careful too."
Long Yu nodded and used Divine Concealment, hiding himself from the four of them. The four of them immediately lost track of Long Yu. Even Gu Yixian, an expert of the King Road Secret Realm, couldn't sense Long Yu's existence.
Long Yu headed in the direction of the exotic beast nest that Gu Wenshan and the others had mentioned. As for Gu Wenshan and the others, they climbed up the large tree and hid themselves to avoid running into the many patrolling exotic beasts.
"Do you guys think that mountain ghost just wants to use us to find out the location of the exotic beast nest and then use its concealment ability to monopolize the treasures inside?"
The female cultivator, Nanmen Yingxia, softly said.
"His invisibility isn't completely limitless. If he doesn't take any recovery pills, he can only remain invisible for less than two hours."
Gu Yixian pondered for a moment, then said, "Under such circumstances, if he betrays us, it won't be easy for him to leave this place alive, especially after poking the hornet's nest."
"That's true."
Nanmen Yingxia nodded.
"Don't make wild guesses. Since we've brought him here, we obviously trust him. Just wait for his news."
Gu Wenshan said solemnly.
…
Long Yu used the Spirit Concealment Technique to move forward, and sure enough, he saw many withered branches of the Wood God Race. There were small ones and big ones, and all of them had the same color as the giant trees around them, making it quite difficult to distinguish them.
However, as long as these exotic beasts moved, it was still quite obvious.
Being surrounded by so many strange beasts, the pressure on Long Yu wasn't small. Once he released his Divine Concealment state, or if a powerful strange beast discovered his whereabouts, he would have to follow the Asura Ancient Palace high up in the clouds to come down. Otherwise, he would die.
He quickly moved forward, and after walking for about ten miles, he finally saw a building that looked like a bird's nest built from withered branches in the dense forest in front of him. It was more than a thousand feet tall, just as tall as the giant trees in this dense forest, making it difficult for people to see it from the sky.
"It really is a fortress built by the Wood God Race."
The Envoy of Death's eerie voice reached Long Yu's ears, "Kid, don't say that I didn't warn you. This nest doesn't look simple. Even if you can conceal yourself and avoid the senses of the exotic beasts in the secret realm, there's a high chance that you'll be discovered if you enter."
"I just happened to obtain four Spirit Concealment Pills. I'll be fine after taking them."
Long Yu swallowed one of the Divine Concealment Pills he had obtained from Wu Junhao. He immediately felt that his concealment had greatly increased. Even if an emperor realm cultivator appeared in front of him, they wouldn't be able to detect his presence.
"That's more like it. However, it won't be easy to come out alive after entering the Wood God Race's fortress alone."
The Envoy of Death's eerie voice continued, "This envoy will go in with you. Kid, you must listen to my commands after you enter, understand?"
"No problem."
Long Yu nodded. He knew nothing about the Wood God Race's fortress, and it would definitely be safer with the Envoy of Death's guidance.
The Envoy of Death's concealment technique was naturally much better than Long Yu's. Long Yu didn't have to worry about being exposed because of the Envoy of Death.
This time, it was likely that the Envoy of Death also had something he needed in the fortress. Otherwise, he wouldn't have willingly stepped into the fortress with Long Yu.
Long Yu and the Envoy of Death's spirit quickly flew side by side into the huge building that looked like a bird's nest. There were strange beasts of the Wood God Race patrolling the surroundings of the fortress, and some of them were even clinging to the outer walls of the fortress made of dried branches. The defense was extremely tight.
If it wasn't for the Envoy of Death leading the way, it would've taken Long Yu a very long time to find the entrance.
"It's here, follow me."
The Envoy of Death's voice entered Long Yu's ears. Long Yu followed closely behind. He quickly learned that there was no entrance to the fortress at all.
It was only after following the Envoy of Death that Long Yu realized that the entrance to the fortress was actually underground.
The man and the spirit found a withered branch tunnel that led underground and entered it stealthily. There were two withered branch strange beasts that were about to hit Long Yu.
Although Long Yu was invisible, his body was still there. If he was hit by the other party, he would definitely be discovered!
"Dragon Sparrow Flash!"
Under the state of invisibility, Long Yu activated the Dragon Sparrow Flash martial skill, allowing himself to temporarily step into another independent space. He smoothly overlapped with the two withered branch beasts of the Seven Divine Power Realm, and did not let the two beasts discover him.
As for the Envoy of Death, there was no need to mention it. As a remnant consciousness, it originally had no body. If it wasn't to bring Long Yu along, it could directly pass through the outer wall of the fortress without being discovered by any strange beasts.
Although the Envoy of Death knew that Long Yu could use the Dragon Sparrow Flash, the outer wall of the fortress was very thick. Just relying on the duration of the Dragon Sparrow Flash alone would not be able to penetrate the outer wall.
The man and the spirit successfully sneaked into the huge fortress of the Wood God Race.
"The fortresses of the Wood God Race are also divided into levels. From the size of this fortress, it is definitely not the lowest level."
The Envoy of Death said to Long Yu as they moved forward, "If you want to understand the Wood Element Divine Script among the Elemental Divine Script, this place is simply heaven."
Without the Envoy of Death's explanation, Long Yu could already feel that inside the fortress of the Wood God Race, the power of the Elemental Divine Script was filled with the power of the Wood Element Divine Script. It was so thick that even Long Yu had difficulty breathing.
Of course, with Long Yu's current level of martial arts, he wouldn't die even if he held his breath for a day and a night. But in such an environment, his combat power would probably be greatly limited.
Especially as the two of them moved forward, a thick yellow fog gradually appeared and shrouded the entire space.
Long Yu had some impression of this yellow fog. When the strange beasts attacked the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Institute, these withered branch strange beasts would create this yellow fog to increase their strength.
In this yellow fog, the combat power of human martial arts and beast cultivators would be suppressed, just like the strange beasts that came to the Shen Wu World.
Even if they were all experts of the Emperor's Path, in the yellow fog, the strange beasts of the Wood God Race could use 100% of their power, while the power of human martial arts and beast cultivators would be suppressed.
If they were to fight in the fortress of the Wood God Race, the strange beasts of the Wood God Race would definitely be stronger than other beasts of the same level!
"Looks like for the Cracked Tooth Squad, forcing our way in is definitely not going to work."
Long Yu looked around and saw that there were many strange beasts of the Wood God Race patrolling the fortress. Each patrol squad was led by a strange beast of the Seven Paths of Divinity, and in every area, there would be a strange beast of the Emperor's Path commanding.
Not to mention the four members of the Cracked Tooth Squad, even if they worked together with the Tian Rui Squad, it would still be impossible to break through the fortress of the Wood God Race, not to mention that the two squads would not work together.
"Wonderful! The core energy source of this Wood God Fortress is a wood-attribute Divine Rune Source!"
Not long after, the Death Envoy's pleasantly surprised voice reached Long Yu's ears. "It looks like this fortress will be a large one, and there will definitely be a strange beast of the Emperor realm guarding it!"
A strange beast of the Emperor realm!
Long Yu's heart sank when he heard this. If there really was a strange beast of the Emperor realm, then his invisibility would definitely be useless. If he was discovered by the other party, he would be dead.
"With my current strength, I can kill a strange beast of the Wood God Race, but that would consume a lot of energy."
The Death Envoy quickly said to Long Yu. "Let's first find the location of the Divine Rune Source, then I'll go out and restrain the strange beast of the Emperor realm, and you take the opportunity to steal the Divine Rune Source. How about it?"
"Aside from the Divine Rune Source, is there anything else worth risking in this fortress?"
Long Yu asked.
"In my eyes, there is none."
The Death Envoy went straight to the point: "But for you, there seems to be something useful. For example, some of the wood-attribute Divine Rune crystals are condensed from the power of the Divine Rune. If you want to repair the Dragon Bone Tower, you'll need a large number of Divine Rune crystals of various attributes … in Shen Wu world, you won't be able to find any Divine Rune crystals, so this is your only chance. "
"Divine Rune crystals, repair the Dragon Bone Tower?"
Long Yu's eyes lit up.
"Divine Rune crystals are not natural products, but forged by martial cultivators using the power of the Divine Rune. This technique is not a secret in the great world, but to the martial cultivators in Sir Jiuyou Dragon Emperor's mini world, there is no way for them to learn how to forge Divine Rune crystals."
