Xiao Chen headed to the east of the camp. The further he went, the more intense the mournful cries became. When he was about 400 meters away from the source of the sound, Xiao Chen stopped.
He condensed his Spiritual Sense into a thread and slowly extended it forward. When it was 200 meters away, Xiao Chen felt like his Spiritual Sense was blocked by something.
"Pu Ci!"
Xiao Chen concentrated and turned his Spiritual Sense into a sharp sword, slowly breaking through the barrier. After a long time, his Spiritual Sense finally arrived at the source of the sound with much difficulty.
In the forest in front, a Martial Grand Master wearing the uniform of the Tang Clan was lying on the ground. There was a huge black bird in front of him, pecking at his internal organs.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and looked up. There was a black figure floating in the air. He was darker than the night, as deep as a black hole.
Although it was very strange, Xiao Chen could feel a sense of weakness from his body. This person should have been severely injured.
"After hiding for three days, I have finally found you." Xiao Chen heard that person laughing. The laughter sounded like it came from hell in the dark night; it was very gloomy.
Suddenly, a strand of black Qi entered Xiao Chen's body from the body of the cultivator on the ground. An expression of extreme enjoyment appeared on his face. It was as though the strange bird pecking at his internal organs was a delicacy to him.
Xiao Chen could even feel that the injuries on his body improved significantly as he breathed in the black Qi. To think that he could actually rely on sucking the internal organs of others to recover from his injuries. This was simply unbelievable.
When the black Qi dissipated, the Tang Clan cultivator on the ground was completely silent. That huge black bird flew to the feet of the black clothed person in an instant.
Xiao Chen was greatly astonished. He was sure that this huge bird was a Demonic Beast. This black clothed person was actually able to control a Demonic Beast. This was simply unheard of.
"I thought it was a dead end, but I didn't expect to encounter such nourishment. This king is really surprised." The black-clothed man stood on the giant bird and laughed.
Suddenly, his expression became serious. His eyes emitted a profound light as he stood against Xiao Chen's strand of Divine Sense. It was as if he could see through Xiao Chen's invisible Divine Sense.
Xiao Chen quickly spread out his Spiritual Sense and turned it into a small sword. He circled around a large tree and secretly observed that person.
After that person saw it clearly, he seemed to recall something terrifying, and his face revealed an expression of extreme fear. Riding on the giant black bird, he left in a sorry state as if he was fleeing.
Its speed was as fast as black lightning, and it left countless black afterimages in the forest. In an instant, it left the observation range of Xiao Chen's Divine Sense.
Xiao Chen did not dare to advance rashly. Only after that person had left for a long time did Xiao Chen slowly arrive in front of the Tang Clan cultivator. His state of death was exactly the same as the two people he found in the campsite earlier. It seemed like he had died under the pecking of the giant black bird.
This person was able to easily kill three Martial Grand Masters despite being heavily injured. What kind of horrifying realm was this? Xiao Chen felt terrified just thinking about it.
No matter what, this strange black-clothed man had indirectly helped Xiao Chen to get rid of a problem. Otherwise, if three Martial Grand Masters appeared to kill them at the same time, they would not have been able to defend against them.
Recollecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen ignored the corpses on the ground and quickly returned to the campsite. Facing Xiao Yulan's interrogation, Xiao Chen temporarily hid this matter.
He felt that this matter was too strange. There was actually someone who could control Demonic Beasts. Before Xiao Chen figured out what was going on, he decided not to tell anyone about it.
In the middle of the night, the two of them called for someone to change shifts. After resting for four hours, the sky was already bright. Of course, it was the color of the sky outside. Within Gloomy Forest, it was still dark. Visibility was not much better than at night, but it was not as cold.
Xiao Chen moved his left hand around. Under the effects of the Blood Replenishing Pill, he felt that there were no major problems. His Essence could flow smoothly, but he was temporarily unable to perform any high-intensity movements.
The other people in the wooden hut were still asleep. There was no sunlight shining in to wake them up, so they were all sleeping soundly. Xiao Chen woke everyone up.
After washing up, they started to prepare to split up.
When they were splitting up, Xiao Ling`er expressed that she wanted to be in Xiao Chen's group. There were even a few others who expressed the same opinion.
This gave Xiao Chen a headache. In the end, he decided to split Xiao Yulan and Xiao Jian into the same group. This way, the average strength of both groups would be about the same.
In the end, Xiao Ling`er still ended up in Xiao Chen's group. Xiao Chen led the other four and headed south of the camp. He decided to start with the Fire Salamanders.
This was because he had killed quite a few of them before, so he already had some experience. Xiao Chen extended his Spiritual Sense and quickly found a Fire Salamander on a big tree.
"Stop for a while," Xiao Chen called out to everyone to stop.
"Elder Brother Xiao Chen, why are we stopping? Is there a Demonic Beast? Where is it? "Xiao Ling`er asked in a strange manner. Her eyes looked around, searching everywhere.
Xiao Chen smiled, "Stop looking, it's above your head."
When Xiao Ling`er heard this, she was startled and took a few steps back. Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at the intertwining tree branches above his head. The complicated tree branches made the sky look very mysterious, making it impossible to see through them.
This was Gloomy Forest. Aside from the dangers coming from all directions, one had to pay attention to the top of one's head at all times. The smile on Xiao Chen's face disappeared as he said, "All of you, step back a little."
After he spoke, he disappeared from his original spot. There was an electric light in the darkness. They could vaguely see Xiao Chen holding the Lunar Shadow Saber as he leaped around the trees.
When the electric light disappeared, the forest returned to darkness once again. The four people below could not even see a hazy silhouette; all they could see were the dancing tree branches drifting in the air.
"Boom!"
There was a loud sound coming from the sky. A huge creature descended from the sky, causing the ground to tremble. The four people on the ground quickly retreated.
Xiao Chen stood on a tree branch and did not descend immediately. He smiled at everyone and said, "It's time to see your performance. Don't be careless, you might die."
Before the four people below could reply, the Fire Salamander had already stabilized itself. When it saw the four of them, it immediately shifted its aggro and swept its tail at them.
The four of them quickly scattered, and a red phantom headed for Xiao Ling`er. It was like a red ribbon in the air; its speed was extremely fast.
What surprised Xiao Chen was that Xiao Ling`er, who usually looked weird, actually reacted very quickly. She pushed her feet off the ground and nimbly dodged the attack.
In the instant she turned around, Xiao Ling`er even made a cut on her red tongue. However, this Fire Salamander was clearly stronger than the ones Xiao Chen had met before. Its tongue was very tough; Xiao Ling`er's Spirit Weapon was unable to break it.
The four of them fled in all directions as they were chased by the Fire Salamander. They cursed Xiao Chen in their hearts; he was too despicable. Many of them regretted being on the same team as Xiao Chen.
None of them thought that Xiao Chen would ignore them after luring the Fire Salamander down. This caused those who wanted to ride on his coattails to feel regret.
Time slowly went by. Something that made the four of them vomit blood happened. Xiao Chen took out a bottle of wine from his Universe Ring and started drinking from it.
"Xiao Chen, you are too despicable. You saw us being chased around so miserably, yet you did not make a move to help." Finally, someone below could not help but curse.
"That's right. Elder Brother Xiao Chen, you are too ruthless. Originally, Ling`er liked you a little. Now, I hate you," Xiao Ling`er said fiercely as she pouted.
Xiao Chen did not reply. He revealed a faint smile on his face. After the initial panic, the four of them slowly regained their rhythm.
The Fire Salamander was left with wounds of varying severity. The four of them had also been struck by the Fire Salamander's tail a few times. Two of them even had blood trickling out from the corner of their mouths.
However, Xiao Chen still did not make a move. This was their experiential training. If they relied on him, it would be meaningless. The pinnacle of martial arts was comprehended between life and death. One could not rely on others.
"Bang!"
Once again, Xiao Ling`er could not dodge in time. She was struck by the Fire Salamander's huge tail. She vomited a mouthful of blood. Xiao Chen could not bear to see her like this.
However, something unexpected happened to Xiao Chen. This little girl actually did not make a sound. Her pretty face was filled with determination. She did not have her usual mischievous look.
"Martial Technique, Clear Wind Breaking Clouds Chop!"
Xiao Ling`er actually executed a Martial Technique in the air. This was unbelievable. The sword in her hand was like a clear wind breaking clouds. With a flash of white light, she chopped the Fire Salamander's tail in half.
Xiao Ling`er landed firmly on the ground and wiped off the blood from the corner of her mouth. She made a funny face at Xiao Chen, who was on the tree. This caused Xiao Chen to not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Shua!"
Another person erupted. He actually chopped off the Fire Salamander's biggest weapon, the scarlet tongue. In an instant, the Fire Salamander's two main attacks were rendered useless. Everyone's morale immediately soared.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Everyone was in high spirits. They started to execute all their Martial Techniques. They expended their Essence without a care for their lives. In an instant, this horrifying Demonic Beast was forced to retreat step by step, losing all its momentum.
"Seeing how badly you chased me earlier, I will definitely kill you today," one of the Xiao Clan cultivators, who had been struck twice by the Fire Salamander's tail, said ruthlessly.
Just as the Fire Salamander was about to die, an ice arrow flashing with a cold light suddenly flew over from the distance. It struck the Fire Salamander with a 'shua' sound. A cold Qi spread out from the Fire Salamander's body.
The black Qi on its body was completely expelled. In an instant, the Fire Salamander's entire body turned into an ice sculpture. The cold Qi was overwhelming. Everyone was startled; they did not understand what had happened.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen leaped down from the tree and shot out a strand of purple flame. It clashed with the second ice arrow coming from the distance, resulting in an intense explosion.
The ice dissipated into nothingness. However, the Purple Thunder True Fire's momentum did not decrease; it continued to rush forward.
"Boom!"
After a while, there was another explosion in front. The footsteps of a group of people slowly walked towards them.
