Ning Yan looked at this unfamiliar forest. She wasn't very confident in her heart. After all, they weren't familiar with this forest. Other than Wu Ming who came here before, it was the first time for the others.
Furthermore, even if Wu Ming came here before, the forest was so big. It wouldn't be the same place. Therefore, they didn't have any advantage.
They didn't know where their fellow sect members had reached. Had they passed through Death Fantasy Ocean and entered this forest? Had their big senior sister and the rest passed through this forest and reached the central region?
"Junior Sister Ning Yan, which direction should we go now?" Wu Ming looked at this strange place and asked Ning Yan.
"Let me look at the map first," Ning Yan took out the map and analyzed it seriously.
Although they were unable to accurately determine their position, they still followed the map and roughly drew out the route they took. Although this method wasn't accurate, at least they knew if they were advancing or retreating.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be too ridiculous if they found out that they had returned to Death Fantasy Ocean?
Ning Yan took the map and calculated for a moment. After that, she observed the surrounding situation and pointed to the right, "This should be the direction to the depths. Let's go this way."
"Alright, let's go this way. Junior Brother Wu Ming, we will have to trouble you again," Ling Hai stood up and looked at the direction pointed by Ning Yan before smiling at Wu Ming.
"You … I'm sorry. I've been leading the team for the past few times, causing the team to get lost many times. Therefore, I feel that it's better for Senior Brother Ling Hai to lead the team. I believe that with Senior Brother's intelligence, leading us through this forest won't be a problem, "Wu Ming looked at Ling Hai and retorted with a smile.
"Hehe, Junior Brother must be joking. In terms of martial strength, I don't deny that I'm stronger than Junior Brother Wu Ming. But in terms of leading, I'm indeed inferior to Junior Brother Wu Ming. Moreover, Junior Brother already has the experience of passing through this forest. It's better. You don't wish for me to lead everyone to death, right? Wouldn't that be harming everyone? You don't wish for Junior Sister Ning Yan and the other junior sisters to fall into danger, right? "Ling Hai smiled.
"You … hmph!" Wu Ming looked at Ning Yan and finally agreed. He snorted at Ling Hai and walked to the front to lead the way.
Wu Ming really had bitterness that he couldn't speak of. Previously, in order to show off his strength, he had said in front of Ling Hai that he had once crossed the Death Fantasy Sea and entered this dense forest. He didn't expect that it would become a weakness that could be used against him.
"Junior Sister, let's go!" Ling Hai looked at Ning Yan and said considerately.
Ning Yan didn't say anything. She brought her junior sisters and followed behind Wu Ming's group. Regarding the conflict between the two of them, Ning Yan was also helpless. Furthermore, she did not wish to interfere in their dispute, no matter what reason they had, even if it was because of her.
To her, protecting the safety of her junior sisters was the most important thing.
"Junior Sister Ningzi, don't be afraid. I will always be by your side to protect you." Everyone walked forward unhurriedly, and the fairies of Huaxian Valley were always the targets of the male cultivators. A Cangling Sect male cultivator suddenly walked in front of Ning Zi and said in a heroic manner.
"Humph! Are you as powerful as my Senior Sister? I don't need your protection! "Ning Zi said angrily.
Along the way, all of them had been pestered by Shushan Sect and Cangling Sect, causing them to feel depressed. Shushan Sect and Cangling Sect even nearly fought because of this. In the end, Ning Yan asked Wu Ming and Ling Hai to restrain their disciples. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to continue on this path as all of them went to pick up girls.
Therefore, basically, only when they were resting would there be people coming up to strike up a conversation. That male cultivator got the cold shoulder and could only return to his group awkwardly.
"Junior Sister, your charm is really great. I wonder how many male cultivators have been smitten by you along the way? "Ning Wushuang smiled at Ning Xue.
"Hmph, you guys are still laughing at me. Aren't you guys the same?" Ning Zi's face turned red.
"Haha, Junior Sister, there are so many men here. Is there anyone that you like? Senior Sister will help you be the matchmaker, "Ning Xue smiled.
"Senior Sister, you are really hateful. If there is anyone that you like, I will help you be the matchmaker," Ning Zi hit Ning Xue's body a few times and said.
The few of them were making a racket, causing those bitter male cultivators to look at them. However, none of them dared to step forward.
"Stop! Everyone, be careful. There is a dangerous demonic beast in front. Retreat! " Just when everyone was feeling more relaxed, the leader of the group, Wu Ming, raised his right hand and shouted urgently.
"Quick! It seems to have discovered us! " Sensing an intense and dangerous aura approaching him, Wu Ming's expression changed rapidly and he became nervous.
"Swoosh!" Just when everyone was retreating, a huge monster suddenly appeared in front of them. It had the body of a lion, but there was a long white horn on its head and a hooked tail!
"Roar!" Seeing so many humans, the strange lion's eyes were filled with excitement. It raised its head and roared loudly!
When Wu Ming and the other two Golden Core Realm cultivators saw this big fellow, they felt nervous and relieved at the same time. That's because the aura it released was only at the Golden Core Realm initial stage. They believed that the three of them could still deal with it.
In order to cover their junior brothers and sisters' retreat, the three of them had no choice but to stand in front of the strange lion to block it.
"Swoosh!" The strange lion leaped and swung its right claw at Wu Ming who was at the front.
"Bang!" When Nameless used his sword to block the monster lion's attack, he missed. Before Nameless could even think about it, he felt a powerful attack coming at him from the right side of his back. Next, he was sent flying forward.
"What's going on?" Wu Ming was baffled. He crawled up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Why didn't he feel anything when he hit the opponent's claw? Furthermore, his right side was hit for no reason.
Ning Yan and Ling Hai were also shocked. They didn't understand why Wu Ming flew to the left. That fellow was obviously using its right claw to attack. If it hit, it should have flown to the right!
"Roar!" The strange lion became even more excited after its attack succeeded. It swung its tail happily. Following that, it swung its tail with force. The tail actually grew longer and flew towards Wu Ming like a rope with hooks.
"Ya!" Wu Ming shouted. He raised his Middle Grade Soul Scarlet Sun Sword and slashed towards the hooked tail.
"Bang!" Ning Yan and Ling Hai were stunned again. Wu Ming slashed the air again. It was as if he was hit from the back and was sent flying towards the strange lion.
"Pu!" Wu Ming vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot. His heart was filled with anger and curiosity. Why was he sneak attacked from the back again?
"Did you sneak attack me?!" Wu Ming crawled up from the ground and roared at Ling Hai.
"Are you sick? I haven't even made a move. What are you doing? Performing a stunt? "Ling Hai cried out in confusion.
"It's really not him?" Wu Ming looked at Ning Yan and said.
"No. What exactly is going on?" Ning Yan shook her head and said in confusion.
"I also don't know. I clearly hit its body, but I felt that I didn't hit anything. Following that, I felt a heavy blow on my back!" Wu Ming's mind was also in a mess.
"Let me do it!" Ling Hai stood up and said while holding his sword.
"Sou!" Ling Hai didn't speak any nonsense. His speed was very fast as he flew towards the strange lion.
"Jiu ~ Jiu ~ Jiu!" Ling Hai flew forward and gave a heavy chop. However, this chop shocked everyone.
Ling Hai's sword slashed down from the strange lion's body to the bottom. Ling Hai was shocked to discover that this thing was like an illusion. There was no resistance at all.
"Pu!" At this moment, a heavy blow suddenly came from the back. Ling Hai was like Wu Ming as he flew forward inexplicably and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"How can this be?" Ling Hai stood up and said in shock.
"How can it … …" Ning Yan and Wu Ming also ran over, not knowing what was going on. They pointed at the strange lion, not knowing how to describe it.
"Why do I feel that this fellow doesn't have a physical body? When I slashed down earlier, it felt like I was slashing an illusion?" Ling Hai also couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Illusion? How is this possible? "Ning Yan looked at the strange lion and said in shock. This fellow didn't look like an illusion no matter how she looked at it!
"Let me try and you will know," Wu Ming raised his Scarlet Sun Sword and slashed at the strange lion with an intense sword Qi.
What caused everyone to be in disbelief was that the sword Qi actually pierced through the strange lion's body. Yet, the strange lion was still standing there perfectly fine.
"How can this be? Could it really be an illusion? "Everyone was unable to understand what was happening in front of them.
"Roar!" The strange lion roared and pounced towards the three of them.
"Xiu ~ Xiu ~ Xiu ~!" The three of them subconsciously slashed at the strange lion that was pouncing towards them. The strange lion pierced through their swords and waved its right claw at them.
Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~! The three of them were blocking the claw, but they were unknowingly struck from the back. The three of them were sent flying.
"Damn it! What is going on? Why did I attack from the front and get struck from the back? "Wu Ming no longer had his usual gentleness. He was thoroughly enraged.
After going through so many battles, he had never fought such a strange and unjust battle.
"Attack from the front and get struck from the back?" Ning Yan repeated Wu Ming's words. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. She seemed to have grasped something. She then looked at the strange lion that was staring at the three of them.
After that, she walked towards the strange lion alone.
"Don't!" Seeing that Ning Yan wanted to deal with it alone, Ling Hai quickly shouted.
Ning Yan raised her left hand, signaling them not to worry. Once again, she thrust her sword towards the strange lion.
"Roar!" The strange lion wasn't a human. It didn't have a human's sense of beauty. It wouldn't stop attacking just because Ning Yan was a beauty. It didn't have any protective feelings towards the fairer sex. It immediately pounced towards Ning Yan and waved its claw again.
"Bang!" Just when the strange lion's claw was about to hit Ning Yan, Ning Yan was caught off guard and allowed the claw to hit her. After that, she turned around and thrust her sword towards her back.
Bang! Ning Yan was delighted in her heart. Sure enough, this sword had actually stabbed into the opponent's body. The strange lion was actually pushed back in such a strange manner.
"This … how can it be like this?" Wu Ming and Ling Hai were dumbfounded. They didn't dare to believe that it could actually be like this.
"I also don't understand what is going on! However, I can confirm that strictly speaking, this fellow isn't an illusion. However, it is very strange. Its actions are the opposite of its real body. When we saw it pouncing from the front, it was actually pouncing from the back. This appearance is to confuse us, "Ning Yan voiced out her thoughts.
