The mountain peaks near the hot spring villa were not high and they were very close to Chengde Villa. Although there were wild beasts in the surrounding forest, they would not easily appear at the foot of the mountain and would usually hide in the deep mountains.
Under the moonlight, Ming Xi and Shang'er shuttled through the towering trees. Their surroundings were silent, only the sound of the wind as they flew, and the occasional snoring of wild beasts or the sound of various crawling creatures startled by them.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely be too scared to go any further in this environment.
"Ming Xi!" Shang'er suddenly called out to Ming Xi, "There's nothing there, there's no need to go in."
"Do you feel it?" Ming Xi asked.
Shang'er lightly shook her head, "Since last night, I haven't felt the aura of a demonic beast. Maybe the Fire Phoenix was right, maybe I was wrong."
"Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look." Ming Xi said.
"There shouldn't be anything." Shang'er said.
They had already reached the deepest part of the forest, where wild beasts usually roamed. Even when the royal family hunted, they would not come so deep into the forest.
"Shang'er …" Ming Xi's expression changed as he looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
In the depths of the forest was a canyon, surrounded by eerie white bones. The bones were huge and looked to be the bones of wild beasts. They were densely piled up on both sides of the canyon, looking very ghastly under the cold moonlight.
"These are all the bones of wild beasts?" Shang'er asked in surprise. She walked a few steps forward and picked up a skull, "This big, is it a tiger or a lion?"
"These bones seem to be from recent times and are still very fresh." Ming Xi said in a low voice.
Shang'er saw that some of the bones still had blood and leftover pieces of meat. Her expression was heavy, "What could have eaten them?"
In the human world, tigers and lions were already ferocious beasts. What kind of animal could eat them until only their bones were left, and in such a shocking amount?
"I'm afraid that all the animals in the forest have been eaten." Ming Xi held Shang'er's hand and walked into the canyon. The bones on both sides did not decrease, but there were more bloodstains on the ground.
"I don't feel the aura of a demonic beast." Shang'er said in a low voice. This couldn't be done by a demonic beast, but other than a demonic beast, what else could do this?
Ming Xi said, "Didn't you say that once a demonic beast and a human fuse together, they would become mortals?"
Shang'er suddenly thought of something. She grabbed Ming Xi's hand tightly and stopped. "It ate so many animals, so it can cultivate a blood pill. It doesn't need spiritual energy to take over a body. Maybe it really has become a mortal."
"Can demonic beasts cultivate Blood Pills?" Ming Xi's expression changed slightly. If that was the case, what if those demonic beasts ate mortals?
"No, not all demonic beasts are like this." Shang'er knocked on her own head, "I heard Grandpa Black Dragon mention it before. It seems that only the great ancient demonic beasts can do it, but the great demonic beasts have all disappeared. I heard that they have all been annihilated."
Ming Xi had never heard of an ancient demonic beast, "What is an ancient demonic beast?"
Shang'er said, "Grandpa Long said that a long, long time ago, when the continent was first formed, the war between the ten great mythological beasts and the ten great demonic beasts was very fierce. As the leader of the mythological beasts, our dragon clan finally suppressed the great demonic beasts. They should have been sealed away, and without the blood of our dragon clan, it is impossible to break the seal."
"Ten great mythological beasts?" Ming Xi was stunned.
"I left the dragon clan before I was even born. I don't know what other mythological beasts are living in our homeland now, but for a great demonic beast to appear in the human continent is simply inconceivable." Shang'er's expression was heavy. According to Grandpa Long, the great demonic beasts should not exist anymore.
"Let's leave this place first." Ming Xi said. It seemed that they would not be able to find it here. They had already walked through the entire canyon.
Shang'er said, "If it really was done by a great demonic beast, it will not be easy to find it. Moreover, they will discover that I am from the dragon clan."
"What will they do to you?" Ming Xi's tone was tense.
"They will probably use my blood to break their seal." Shang'er said in a low voice.
Ming Xi pulled Shang'er's hand and quickly left the canyon. If it really was a great demonic beast, then with just the few of them, only Shang'er's spiritual energy was not affected. If the great demonic beast was really that powerful, then even if they joined forces, they might not be able to defeat it.
"Ming Xi, if it is a great demonic beast, I must find a way to kill it." Shang'er said to Ming Xi.
"No." Ming Xi firmly said, "You might not be able to kill it, so don't take the risk for now. Wait for my parents to return."
No matter what, his father was still the Saint Emperor of the Upper God Continent.
Shang'er creased her eyebrows as she thought about it. Since they could not find any traces of the great demonic beast, then they could only wait for the City Lord to return.
They had just returned to the villa when Fire Phoenix immediately appeared. He had been guarding Ming Yu the entire time, and now that Ming Xi and the others had returned, it should be because they did not find any demonic beasts.
"How is it? I already said, how could there be a demonic beast." Fire Phoenix said proudly.
"The wild beasts deep in the mountains have all been eaten." Ming Xi lightly glanced at Fire Phoenix and told him everything they saw in the valley.
Fire Phoenix listened until he was completely stunned, "What? Could it be another beast? "
"What kind of beast could eat tigers and lions until only their bones were left?" Shang'er asked in a low voice. "It's not just one, the entire valley is covered in white bones."
"…" Fire Phoenix imagined the scene of white bones and couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end, "If there was a demonic beast, I should be able to sense it."
Shang'er said, "Even I couldn't sense it. That great demonic beast might have already become a mortal."
"Great demonic beast …" Fire Phoenix's face became ugly. He was still a Divine Beast and naturally knew what a great demonic beast represented, "How is that possible!"
"Other than an ancient great demonic beast, what other demonic beast could be so unbridled in the Human Continent? It is cultivating a blood pill, so we don't know whose body it is hiding in." Shang'er said.
Grandpa Long said that after a great demonic beast cultivated a blood pill, it would be able to conceal its body's aura.
Fire Phoenix looked at Shang'er, "Have you seen a great demonic beast? Do you know what it is? "
"I don't know …" Shang'er frowned. She had been imprisoned since she was young, and if it wasn't for Grandpa Long protecting her, she would have died a long time ago.
"Then it might not be a great demonic beast." Fire Phoenix said. He didn't dare imagine what would happen if a great demonic beast appeared in the Human Continent.
Ming Xi calmly said, "Don't guess anymore. I'll send a message to my father and wait for him to come back."
Shang'er was quite confident in Mo Rongzhan's cultivation, "Alright."
