"It's hard to say. I've been asleep for too long, but I'm sure it's something good." Wine Lord avoided the main point.
"We can only take one step at a time." Lin Xuan made a decision and went to the mysterious Devil Abyss with Tang Yu.
The Devil Abyss was located in the Taihang Mountains. It was a bottomless black hole with a radius of more than ten miles. However, there were some precious medicinal herbs growing around it. Once, someone wanted to pick them, but they fell into the hole and never came out again.
Later, people found that whether it was animals or people, once they got close, they would be sucked into the hole. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive. On the contrary, some plants grew especially well.
Over time, no one dared to go there anymore, and it became a forbidden area. Normally, no one would take the risk to go there. But this time, someone found some brown stones near the Devil Abyss and cut out some heaven-defying medicinal herbs from them.
This news immediately alarmed many martial artists. Now, many martial artists had already gone to the Devil Abyss. Even the disciples of Zixia Sect had arrived. It was obvious how valuable those mysterious stones were.
After leaving Leyang City, the two of them went straight to the southwest of the Taihang Mountains. That was the direction where the Devil Abyss was located.
After entering the dense forest, Lin Xuan and Tang Yu gradually slowed down. Although the Devil Abyss was not in the depths of the Taihang Mountains, it was not far from it. Powerful vicious beasts often appeared around it.
In addition, there were crooks mixed in with the honest folk, so they had no choice but to be careful.
There were many rotten branches and leaves on the ground. Stepping on them would cause people's feet to sink. Fortunately, the two of them had excellent body techniques and the soft ground did not affect them.
The deeper they went, the more luxuriant the trees became. The huge trunks required several people to hug. The lush leaves of the thousand-year-old ancient trees covered the sky. The surrounding vines intertwined, forming a tangled terrain.
In the distance, tigers roared and apes cried. Birds and beasts flew away. This was the paradise of wild beasts.
"Roar!"
A leopard with green spots jumped down from a tree. Its claws were like knives and its snow-white teeth flashed with a cold light. Lin Xuan leaned to the side and slashed with his sword. Without using any spiritual power, he cut the leopard in half with pure muscle strength.
This was the effect of the Golden Jade Body Tempering Technique. It was divided into five levels. The first level could improve the body's strength. Lin Xuan's current strength had increased by three levels compared to before, reaching nearly five thousand pounds.
There was another reason why he didn't use his spiritual power. Spiritual power was too dazzling. Once he used it, it would be the same as telling others that he was here.
The Great Forest was not like a sect. No one would care about those rules. If there was a disagreement, it was normal for blood to be spilled. Lin Xuan didn't want to expose himself too early.
Bang! Bang!
The ground trembled slightly. Lin Xuan and Tang Yu looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. The two of them leaped up and landed on a tree trunk, concealing their auras.
The ground trembled more and more violently. Not long after, a giant elephant with a jade-like body slowly walked over. Its legs were wider than ordinary stone pillars, and every step it took created a deep pit in the ground.
"Mmm …"
The white jade giant elephant roared towards the sky. The sound was so loud that the surrounding leaves rustled and fell. Lin Xuan and Tang Yu had to use their spiritual power to seal off their hearing to avoid being deafened.
"Roar!"
A white-spotted black tiger the size of a bull leaped out from the bushes and roared at the white jade giant elephant, warning it not to come closer.
Bang!
The long elephant trunk swung out like a heavenly hammer, smashing the white-spotted black tiger's body into pieces. Then, the elephant rolled its trunk and sucked all the flesh and organs into its mouth.
Bang! Bang!
The white jade giant elephant roared again, and then slowly dragged its body away.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. A beast of this level was not something they could fight against. The two of them continued to move forward. This time, they were more cautious than before, but the situation seemed to be getting worse.
Some of the beasts that they normally couldn't see seemed to have all come out. There were also many demon beasts roaming around, making the already terrifying Devil Pit even more dangerous.
"That's not right. Why are there so many beasts here? They're almost as deep as the Taihang Mountains!" Lin Xuan frowned.
"Something must have happened. Could it be related to those stones?" Tang Yu said nervously.
"Mmm, there are some things we don't know yet." Lin Xuan nodded. "It's too dangerous inside. Do you still want to go in?"
"I want to see my brother. I'm worried about him." Tang Yu said hesitantly.
"How many of the inner sect disciples are here?" Lin Xuan asked.
"I'm not sure, but I guess there are some from each of the three factions." Tang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Many of the inner sect disciples are doing missions in the outer sect, and some are fighting the demon beasts at the front line. There aren't many left in the inner sect."
Lin Xuan's heart was heavy. He thought that only the outer sect disciples would come, but now even the inner sect disciples were here.
"I'll stay with you until you see your brother." Lin Xuan patted Tang Yu's shoulder and said with a smile.
The two didn't stop. They were already very far from the Black Heaven Sect, and the sky was getting dark. If they couldn't find a place to rest before nightfall, they would be in danger.
Finally, in the evening, Lin Xuan found a cave. There was a small lake beside the cave, which was suitable for resting.
Lin Xuan and Tang Yu tidied up and decided to stay for the time being. They would continue their journey the next day. After all, this was a primeval forest, and the night was still very dangerous.
In the evening, the flames danced in the forest. Lin Xuan hunted a wild boar, then skinned it clean by the lake and placed it on the fire rack. Tang Yu was like a greedy little kitten, drooling non-stop at the side.
Lin Xuan watched from the side with a faint smile on his face. Suddenly, he frowned and looked ahead.
At that moment, a cry of surprise came, "Big Brother, there's a fire here!"
"Haha, great, finally we don't have to travel at night!" A rough voice came.
Lin Xuan sat up straight and immediately held his long sword in his hand, ready to attack at any time. Tang Yu also looked around vigilantly.
"We are the Blood Red Mercenary Group, sorry to disturb you!" A loud laugh came, and then, five figures appeared in front of Lin Xuan.
They were a group of tall and sturdy young men, about twenty to thirty years old. Each of them had a bag on their back and a sword on their body. They looked tired.
"I'm Du Ping from the Blood Red Mercenary Group. These are my brothers. They got lost in the mountains and want to stay here for the night. I hope you can make an exception."
Lin Xuan glanced at them. Their faces were cold, and their eyes were sharp. It was obvious that they lived on the edge of a knife. What surprised Lin Xuan even more was that this young man called Du Ping was actually a rank six condensing Meridians. The others were around rank five.
"If these people want to fight, they don't need to do so. It seems like they just want to stay for the night." Lin Xuan thought.
"We are the sons and daughters of the Jianghu. When we go out, we should take care of each other." Lin Xuan smiled and made an inviting gesture.
