Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the lightning vortex.
Some of the lightning bolts were dark gold, while others were as dazzling as silver.
The clusters of lightning vortexes seemed to have sensed the abnormality and quietly gathered.
A moment later, all the lightning vortexes in this area that Denise had listed as a forbidden zone actually gathered here and floated above the deep, cold cave.
However, the lightning minks that were born from the lightning vortexes and strengthened their bloodlines with the lightning vortexes were nowhere to be seen.
The Moon Devouring Apes, Heavenly Starbeasts, and Lightning Minks that lived in the forbidden zone could clearly see the abnormality of the lightning vortexes and know that something strange was happening near the deep cave, but they didn't dare to approach.
The cave seemed to be located in another forbidden zone that was even more special than the forbidden zone!
Crack! Boom boom!
Hearing the strange sounds of lightning and muffled thunders, Yu Yuan, who had put most of her body into the cave, quietly hid the look of joy on her face.
His expression darkened slightly.
Under the effect of the Great Yin Soul Art, the Yin Soul in his sea of consciousness couldn't suck out the evil fiends' souls from the deep cave.
The deafening wails and howls suddenly fell silent because of the approaching lightning vortex.
Using a bottle of Illusory Soul Fluid and his new soul power, the Great Yin Soul Art that he had just cast could no longer wantonly plunder souls and evil fiends. His Yin Soul, which had been dried up for a long time, couldn't be quickly replenished.
After waiting for a long time, his Yin Soul couldn't sense even a trace of yin energy from the underground cave.
Yu Yuan knew that the mysterious Earth Demon hiding in the depths of the cave had cautiously shrunk underground because of the arrival of the lightning vortex.
The ghouls and wraiths that were born because of it were also affected by its power and went into hibernation. They didn't dare to come out of their caves, so they couldn't sense the magical magnetic field released by the Great Yin Soul Art that his Yin Soul had cast.
Bang!
Jumping out of the deep cave and landing on the soft, damp ground, Yu Yuan looked up at the lightning vortex and shouted in dissatisfaction, "What bad luck!"
He had finally found a way to help him quickly refine his soul power, but it was interrupted by the lightning vortex.
Of course he wasn't happy.
However, he had also guessed that there was a forbidden area with a lightning vortex in front of him, as well as a barrier filled with star energy. There was a high chance that it was used to trap the Earth Demon within the cave.
The lightning vortex restricted the demonic creatures in the earth's core, preventing them from coming out and causing trouble.
The barrier was filled with star energy, so the Heavenly Starbeasts, Moon-Devouring Apes, and Lightning Minks couldn't easily escape and harm the Dark Spirit Tribe and Moonlight people's villages.
"No, not a single beast dared to come over."
From afar, Mi Ting's expression returned to normal after seeing Yu Yuan leave the deep, dark cave. Then, she carefully walked over and suggested, "I have a feeling that there's some kind of monster hiding in that cave. Otherwise, the lightning vortexes wouldn't have gathered and acted as if they were about to kill it."
After choosing her words carefully, she said softly, "In the legends of our Floating Life Realm, the natural lightning vortex will automatically search for evil demons."
"Ahem, the demons we're talking about are the demons of Haoran. The devils that we speak of in the Floating Life Realm are also the devils of Haoran. "
Mi Ting lowered her head.
Yu Yuan snorted. "The devils you speak of should be the humans of Haoran who have reached the Yang God Realm, right?"
"Are you saying that you're not?" Mi Ting was surprised, her eyes filled with suspicion. "You and I are both members of the Dark Spirit Tribe. Many of our people have been slaughtered by the cruel devils of the human race in the outer realms of the starry river. I've heard that many of our realms are wailing because of the human devils of Haoran. "
Yu Yuan rubbed his nose and didn't say anything else.
Sometimes, he would forget his current appearance and identity as a foreign race, and even think of himself as a human cultivator of Haoran.
"Well, you don't have much time left." Mi Ting pointed at the hourglass hanging from his waist. "According to the time on the hourglass, you have three days."
Yu Yuan glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Stay here, don't get too close to the cave, and don't go too far."
"Why?"
"Because you're too weak," Nie Tian said. "If you stay away from the cave, you'll be safe. That way, you won't be torn to pieces by the spirit beasts, or have your mind distorted by the strange things that come out of the cave. "
Mi Ting's expression flickered with astonishment. "There are Demons in the cave?"
"Keep an eye on her."
Yuyuan carried Chen Qinghuang a little further away and put her on the ground beside Mi Ting, then left alone.
The reason why he dared to leave Chen Ching-hwang alone was because he knew that even though she was unconscious, Princess Qing Luan shouldn't be in any danger in the forbidden area of the lower continent.
Spirit beasts and demon beasts wouldn't dare to come close to the cave. Even if they did, judging from his previous experience, he didn't have to worry about them.
The aura Chen Ching-hwang exuded was as weak as gossamer, but it was enough to make spirit beasts and demon beasts tremble. Yu Yuan had a feeling that the Earth Devil wouldn't be able to come out of the cave due to the existence of the lightning vortex.
Even if it did come out, he had a feeling that the Earth Devil's perception would be sharper than that of spirit beasts and demon beasts.
Wouldn't it be seeking trouble with the Immortal Bird?
Two days later...
Without Chen Ching-hwang by his side, those ferocious Moon-devouring Apes and Heavenly Star Beasts that didn't know what was good for them finally stopped fleeing the moment they saw him. Holding the scabbard in his hand, Nie Tian pierced through their skulls and killed more than a dozen of them.
Using beast tendons as ropes, he tied up spirit beasts and demon beasts and dragged them to Chen Ching-hwang and Mi Ting's location in batches. Seeing this, the Dark Spirit girl, who didn't talk much, became even more taciturn.
"Seventeen spirit beasts at the fourth and fifth grade," Nie Tian said.
Mi Ting's face turned ghastly pale as she stared at the deep blood marks on the ground and the numerous spirit beasts and spirit beasts that reeked of blood being tossed to the ground like garbage.
Then, she looked at Chen Ching-hwang, who was lying on the ground, and Yu Yuan, who had finally rested.
Without saying a word, Mi Ting distanced herself from Chen Ching-hwang, Yu Yuan, and the spirit beasts that had died miserable deaths.
When Yu Yuan started a fire and a wooden rack to roast the meat, Mi Ting said in a low voice, "Well, it's almost time."
Yu Yuan waved the hourglass in his hand and casually tossed it aside. "Your princess Denise said that as long as I'm on this continent, she'll arrange for that starship to pick me up when the time comes."
"But this is a forbidden area," Mi Ting said.
"I don't care."
Yu Yuan fiddled with the wooden rack, waiting for the Lightning Mink's meat to turn brown and for its aroma to dissipate. Then, he skillfully sprinkled cumin and other spices on it. "Anyway, I've already prepared the venom she asked for that can kill seventh grade Crypt Demons. How she finds me and takes me out of here is her problem. "
Smelling the meat's aroma, Mi Ting couldn't help but swallow.
With a chuckle, Yu Yuan tore off a large piece of leg meat and tossed it to her. "It's fate that brought us together. Take it. Meat at this level is very chewy."
"Uh, okay, okay."
Mi Ting seemed a bit embarrassed. She took a small bite of the leg meat, which was so juicy that it looked like it was going to ooze out of it. Her beautiful eyebrows smoothed out as she relaxed a lot. "Have you met any of the Dark Spirit bigwigs in the outside world?"
"Does Mia count?" Yu Yuan asked casually.
"Mia? What's the grade of her bloodline? "Mi Ting asked curiously.
"Ninth grade."
"Ninth grade?!"
The Dark Spirit girl took a deep breath. Her nostrils twitched, as if she were listening to a heavenly book.
"There's also a man called Kennard. He says he's a Son of the Forest. His father seems to be the chief of the Dark Spirit Race," Yu Yuan said vaguely as he tore into the meat and chewed.
In his mind, he was still Yu Yuan of the human race. Therefore, when he mentioned Kennard, the chief of the Dark Spirit Race, it was like he was talking about a stranger.
"Braggart."
Mi Ting laughed. She thought that Yu Yuan was talking nonsense and didn't make a fuss.
Mia, who had a rank nine bloodline, was one thing. But if that Son of the Forest really was the son of the Dark Spirit Race's chief, why did Yu Yuan say it so calmly and without any reverence?
If he really knew the chief's son, shouldn't he be proud and smug?
Yu Yuan saw that she didn't believe him, but he didn't care. After all, that Son of the Forest had died in Thousand Bird Realm. He wasn't worth mentioning.
The appointed time arrived as scheduled.
Yu Yuan suddenly looked up and saw a shadow that covered the stars and the moon. He immediately knew that the actual ruler of the lower continent had come to find him.
Mi Ting abruptly stood up straight and lowered her head, ready to welcome him.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Denise of the Star Race and her subordinate, Dougart, turned into two pillars of star energy and descended from the hovering ancient starship.
Dougart was holding a Crypt Race clansman that was bound by dark golden lightning and had a fierce expression.
"You killed all of these beasts, didn't you?"
Denise had changed into a neat outfit that showed off her figure. As soon as she landed, she glanced at the numerous beast corpses and laughed softly. "It took me a lot of effort to raise them. You killed so many of them without saying anything. That's a bit too much."
"Here, I'll make it up to you."
Yu Yuan threw over a large piece of roasted Lightning Mink belly that was overflowing with the fragrance of meat.
Denise raised her hand and caught it. When she looked down, she saw that grease was flowing through her fingers. Her beautiful face was filled with a strange expression. "You're using this to bribe me?" Denise looked like she wanted to laugh.
"And this."
At the same time, Yu Yuan tossed out a bottle of murky, dark-green venom.
Denise had no choice but to catch it with her empty hand. She looked at the glass bottle in her hand and then at the roasted meat in her other hand. Her mood was even stranger. "Are you letting me eat meat or poison?" She scolded jokingly.
Mi Ting looked at this scene and wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to. She forced herself to hold it back.
"You're not stupid. Of course you know which one should eat and which one shouldn't." Crouching in front of the fire, Yu Yuan skillfully peeled the bones and flesh of a Moon-Devouring Ape and roasted it over the fire. Then, he glanced at the Crypt Race clansman under Doggett's feet, his heart as calm as still water.
The seventh grade Crypt Race clansman that Denise and Doggett had brought here looked at the two of them with eyes full of hatred and resentment.
Yu Yuan had no doubt that if that Crypt Race expert broke free, he would tear Denise's flesh apart.
Just like how he was tearing apart the flesh and bones of a Moon-Devouring Ape.
The seventh grade Crypt Race clansman's eyes were fierce and brutal. His hands were thick and his palms were covered in calluses. At first glance, it was clear that he was a fierce and battle-thirsty person.
However …
When Yu Yuan saw the Star Race expert that obeyed Denise's orders take the glass bottle from her, pry open the Crypt Race clansman's mouth, and pour the poison in, he didn't care anymore.
After all, he would die for sure.
Many of the herbs in the lower continent of the Floating Life Realm were naturally poisonous. Furthermore, there was a swamp in this forbidden land, where every blade of water was corrosive.
After being refined by him, the poison in the bottle was enough to kill even Doggett.
Not to mention that the seventh grade Crypt Race clansman had his bloodline power suppressed and was severely injured.
In less than fifteen minutes, the seventh grade Crypt Race clansman's flesh and internal organs started smoking under his skin.
As the Crypt Race clansman let out the first two howls of pain, dark red blood gradually seeped out of the ground, and the area of the blood also became larger.
Doggett, who had let go of the Crypt Race clansman long ago, was far away from the corroded and melting Crypt Race clansman.
Denise, who was gnawing on a piece of cooked meat, showed a satisfied smile. She nodded slightly and said, "Good, very good. Give me another piece of meat and let me eat until I'm full, and I won't blame you for killing these beasts. "
She was right. Yu Yuan understood the double meaning of her words.
"Other than the beasts, there are also many Haoran demon beasts that surprised me." Yu Yuan pointed out the difference, tore off a large piece of cooked meat, and tossed it to Denise.
Denise caught it firmly and took a bite. Then she said, "You've proven your ability."
