Zhu Yao carefully looked at the map again, and then looked at the surrounding trees that were as tall as the clouds.
"Master, what are we doing here?"
"Naturally, I'm looking for that Nascent Divided Pearl." Yu Yan replied with a stern look.
"Are you sure you can find it in this forest?"
He reached out his hand and stroked her head. "Last time, the Nascent Divided Pearl was inside the body of a demonic beast, and demonic beasts usually hide within the forest."
"But Master … we've been here for a month already?"
"Demonic beasts don't have any aura, so we can't use our divine senses to detect them."
"But we've walked this road three times today." Are you sure we're not lost?
The white figure in front of him stiffened, and then immediately said seriously, "Don't be impatient." As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards another path.
"Master, we just came from that road."
"…" His figure paused for a moment, and then he decisively turned into another path. Yes, he just wanted to take a closer look, he definitely wasn't lost.
Zhu Yao's expression darkened as she followed behind. So her master was not face-blind, but he had a poor sense of direction. Without the GPS of his divine sense, he was completely unable to recognize the way. Could it be that he was such a homebody?
In the next few days, a certain master completely displayed the basic integrity of a person with no sense of direction.
"Master, we've already walked that path."
"Master, we'll reach the lakeside where we rested just now."
"Master, we climbed over that rock just now. Have you forgotten?"
"Master, don't draw any more marks on this tree. You've already done it four times. This is the fifth time."
"Wait! Master, why did you have to turn back? We just got here. "
"Master …"
"Yu … Yao!" Yu Yan frowned, and finally stopped his footsteps. Pulling his disciple, he said with a stern expression. "Your master feels that it's better to search with a flying sword, and use divine sense to investigate."
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "Master, didn't you say demonic beasts can't find us with their divine sense?" You're just trying to avoid the fact that you have no sense of direction, right?
"I feel that not all Nascent Divided Pearls originate from the bodies of demonic beasts." He analyzed seriously.
"… Master, are you sure you didn't lose your way?" I know you have no sense of direction. Would you please hand over the right to lead the way to me?
"Nonsense." A certain master still had a serious look on his face. "Previously on the first floor. The Nascent Divided Pearls of the five secret realms aren't all on the demonic beasts either. This place should be the same as well. "
"Then Master thinks …" That's enough! Although having a bad sense of direction wasn't an illness, he shouldn't give up on treatment.
"Nascent Divided Pearl. It might be somewhere else. "
"Hehe …" Master, the way you quibble is so refreshing. He let out a heavy sigh. He plucked an unknown fruit from a nearby tree. "If it's not on a magical beast, can it grow from a tree?"
Ding!
Obtained 1 Nascent Divided Pearl. Clearance Key 2. Completion Rate: Zhu Yao: "…"
Yu Yan: "… …"
| Yue Yin: "…"
He looked at the fruit that had suddenly turned into a green bead in his hand and stared at it silently for three seconds …
It really grew out of the tree. Damn!
What happened to your basic integrity as a quest item? Do you have to be so casual?
"Hmm, looks like the path I've taken is not wrong."
"…" Master, do you have any shame?
Zhu Yao carefully inspected the tree. It looked very normal, and if not for the fruits hanging on the tree, it wouldn't even have any ornamental value. Furthermore, the fruits on the tree were all greener than the previous one. With a single glance, she could tell that they were the type that would sour one's teeth. However, the fruits on this tree were actually all Nascent Divided Pearls. Zhu Yao instantly felt that she had stepped on dog shit.
It seemed like wandering around this forest for more than a month had its uses.
Each of them plucked ten of them, and after a few notifications, the ten Nascent Divided Pearls instantly combined into a marble-like rainbow pearl. A row of words floated on top of it: Clearance Key (2).
Zhu Yao never expected that they would pass this stage so easily. It was so simple that she could not believe her own eyes. After adjusting herself for a moment, she planned on rushing back to the divine city from before and leveling up to the lower third floor.
This time, there was no need for her to look for demonic beasts, and she could use her divine sense to explore the path. In the end, she realized that they were actually at the extreme north of the lower second floor. Back then, when they left the city, they were clearly heading towards the south. In the end, they turned to the north. She had to admit that her master's standard of having a bad sense of direction had already reached perfection.
"Let's go." Yu Yan hugged his disciple with a calm expression, flew up, and headed straight in the direction of the divine city. In the depths of his heart, however, he was already overjoyed. With the powerful GPS that was his divine sense, a certain master had instantly turned into a little navigational expert. After choosing the shortest route, he could finally fly confidently, freely, and willfully. His disciple no longer had to worry about him having a bad sense of direction!
Because they had taken a huge detour in the beginning, they were naturally not taking the same route this time. Zhu Yao thought that their speed would increase by quite a bit, but after flying for an hour, her master suddenly paused and stopped in the air.
"What's wrong?"
Yu Yan frowned as he looked to the front. "There's someone in front."
Zhu Yao scanned the area with her divine sense. There was indeed the aura of a deity in the surroundings, though it was too far away, so she could not see it clearly. Furthermore, the air carried a faint stench of blood. "Who is it?"
He did not reply, but his expression turned even more solemn.
Yue Ying, however, said at the side. "It's someone from the previous party."
"Previous party?" Zhu Yao was startled. "It's Captain Nangong Huang!? Let's go take a look! "
She increased her speed, and immediately flew towards the direction where the stench of blood was coming from. As expected, fifty kilometers away, Captain Nangong from before was currently lying on the ground with a body covered in blood. One of his arms was missing, and the wound was uneven, as though it was forcefully torn off by something. A large patch of fresh blood dyed the ground, and he was currently half-kneeling on the ground while panting heavily. His aura was unstable, and even the number 'level' above his head was constantly flashing between 2 and 3. Was he going to drop a level?
"Nangong Huang!" Zhu Yao could not help but shout out.
"This old man is called Nangong Cheng." The person on the ground habitually roared back, and when he saw Zhu Yao, he was startled for a moment. "Why are you here? You guys … Why are you here …"
"I should be asking you that. How did you suffer such heavy injuries? Where are the others? " Zhu Yao casually cast a few hemostasis arts on him. Didn't he form a party with that Mary Sue from before? Why was he here alone?
"The others …" Just as he was about to explain, as though he suddenly recalled something, he pushed her away. "Hurry, leave this place. Otherwise, it'll be too late."
"What?" Before Zhu Yao could even understand the situation, she suddenly heard a series of sharp and terrifying roars. The surrounding air seemed to have suddenly dropped by several tens of degrees, and waves of bone-piercing cold wind blew towards them.
"It's too late!" Squad Captain Nangong's face instantly turned deathly pale.
"Yu … Yao!" Yu Yan pulled his disciple up, protecting her behind him. His two hands formed hand seals. His two hands formed a seal, and in an instant, all kinds of seals flew out from his hands. Instantly, a transparent barrier was set up in an area with a radius of tens of meters around them, and a dozen or so huge spirit swords descended from the sky. Dozens of gigantic spiritual swords descended from the sky, surrounding their surroundings. They firmly protected the few of them inside.
This was … a Five Elemental Sword Spirit Formation! It was a defensive formation that was only inferior to the Nine Revolutions Five Elemental Lightning Formation outside the Lightning Divine Hall!
The moment the formation was formed. The surroundings rumbled. Hundreds of demonic beasts of various shapes and sizes appeared in the surroundings, and they began to crazily smash and tear at them.
Zhu Yao was stunned. Earlier, there wasn't even the slightest bit of movement. Just where did so many demonic beasts pop out from?
"It's useless." Nangong Cheng's face was ashen, as he looked at the three of them with guilt. "These demonic beasts were lured over by the Extermination Formation, and there will only be more of them. Forget about the three of you, even if there were thirty of you, you might not be able to defeat them. "
Extermination Formation …
An Extermination Formation that could exterminate all living beings! Who would lay down a formation like this?
Yu Yan frowned even deeper. He immediately summoned his own Life Lightning Sword, and took a few steps forward.
"I'm sorry … I even dragged you guys into this." Nangong Cheng looked at Zhu Yao with a guilty look.
"Don't speak for now." Zhu Yao cast an art to temporarily stop his bleeding, and then sent a strand of divine energy into his body, only to realize that the injuries in his body had worsened. His meridians were about to turn into mush, and even his Dantian was in danger of rupturing. She immediately sat cross-legged behind him. "Calm your mind, I will help you protect your Dantian and heart meridian."
"Forget it!" Nangong Cheng, however, shook his head. "Currently, I can no longer escape. It's just a waste of your divine energy. Dongfang girly, don't bother about me. I won't be able to live. If you guys charge out with all your strength, there might still be a chance of survival …"
"Why are you spouting so much nonsense!?" Zhu Yao couldn't be bothered with him. She immediately injected a strand of divine energy into his body, trying her best to stabilize his Dantian that was about to collapse.
Nangong Cheng, however, still tried his best to explain. "There are so many demonic beasts, and they're all demonic beasts with extreme Yin attributes. It's basically impossible to escape with me. While there aren't many demonic beasts gathered here, the two of you should escape immediately. "
"Shut up!" Why didn't she realize that he was such a chatterbox in the past?
"I'm serious, Dongfang girly!" Nangong Cheng grew anxious. As he tried to persuade her, he puked out blood. "This old one will repay the two of you for your help in my next life. However, this group of demonic beasts are all Extreme Yin Beasts that live in the north, and only lightning can restrain them. You guys won't be able to defeat them." The more he spoke, the more despair he felt. "If you guys don't leave now, it will be too late. Unless you guys can invite that person from Lightning Divine Palace over …"
Rumble!
Halfway through his words, lightning flashes filled the sky. Bolts of lightning that were as thick as water buckets descended from the sky, fiercely striking towards the demonic beasts that were surrounding them. In the sky, a figure dressed in snow-white robes was currently wielding a lightning sword. With a light swing, the entire sky was filled with lightning bolts.
Eh!
"Lightning … Lightning … Lightning Divine Palace!" There must be something wrong with the way he was injured. Why the hell does Fellow Daoist Beichen know how to use the Imperial Lightning Arts!? "Dong … Dongfang girly!"
"What?" Zhu Yao took the opportunity to guide her divine energy and seal his shattered meridians. She then stabilized his Dantian that was about to collapse, and only then did she stand up.
"Is … Is he really your master?"
"Mn."
"Biological?"
"Duh!" If he's not my biological master, then why would he be your master?
"…" Didn't they say that only one person from Lightning Divine Palace entered? When did it become three? (To be continued …)
