The water on the ground converged into a river in less than five minutes, washing over the team.
Lu Chen was about to take out the Clear Water Orb when he suddenly found the rainwater above his head bouncing off a spirit energy shield.
Lu Chen turned around in surprise and found that Luo Yao had opened up a spirit energy shield.
This transparent shield isolated the two of them from the outside world, like two people holding an umbrella on a rainy day.
"What are you looking at, if the Eight-eyed Ghoul appears later, don't run around, your little tricks won't work in front of absolute strength!" Luo Yao's gaze was still focused on the surroundings.
Lu Chen suddenly asked, "How is the Eight-eyed Ghoul compared to the Eight-tailed Snow Fox?"
Luo Yao looked at Lu Chen, then her gaze swept to the "Seven Star Wild Cultivator" badge. As expected, wild cultivators' common sense was so poor that it made her speechless.
"Have you heard of the Seven Demonic Beast Generals?"
Lu Chen nodded.
"Almost all of the Seven Demonic Beast Generals are rank eight. Although the difference doesn't sound big, the difference in strength is huge!"
"Rank eight is the realm of demonic beasts, and demonic beasts' realms aren't divided as clearly as cultivators. Their rank eight strength span is very large, if compared to cultivators, they can cover our double" di "cultivation!"
Double "di" cultivation should be referring to the two great realms of earth cultivation and emperor cultivation.
"Think about it, how big is the Eight-tailed Snow Fox's sphere of influence? How big is the Eight-eyed Ghoul's sphere of influence? In the area where the Eight-tailed Snow Fox lives, what are the cultivation levels of the surrounding cultivators, and what about the Eight-eyed Ghoul? "
Lu Chen frowned.
The Eight-tailed Snow Fox only controls a snow mountain, and the surrounding cultivators are mainly great cultivators and earth cultivators, while the Eight-eyed Ghoul lives in the Magic Eye Canyon, which spans almost an entire country, and there is no lack of emperor cultivators around!
With this comparison, Lu Chen immediately understood.
The Eight-eyed Ghoul's strength was not just a little bit stronger than the Eight-tailed Snow Fox!
"I only hope that guy hasn't evolved to nine eyes, otherwise it will be very troublesome!" Luo Yao's tone was heavy, Lu Chen rarely saw her so serious.
"Nameless, I said I would guarantee your safety. Follow me closely and avoid the Eight-eyed Ghoul if you can! If you dare to run around, I will kill you! "Luo Yao grabbed Lu Chen's arm and stared at Lu Chen fiercely.
If the Jade Emperor couldn't fulfill her promise, she would definitely lose face. It seemed like Luo Yao was serious.
Lu Chen's objective was completely different from Luo Yao's. However, now that Luo Yao had threatened him so fiercely, Lu Chen could only agree to her request for the time being.
"I know, I know. I don't want to die. I'll follow you, okay? You're a girl, why are you so fierce … "
Seeing that Lu Chen had given in, Luo Yao let go of him. "Follow the team!"
The torrential rain showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it was getting heavier. Although the rain wasn't enough to stop the team from moving forward, it greatly slowed down the team's progress.
Lu Chen and Luo Yao followed the team closely and moved forward with difficulty. Suddenly, two humans in front of them stopped and looked at them anxiously, standing there and waiting for them.
One of them was a middle-aged man, and the other was a little girl who was about twelve or thirteen years old.
The man was a six-star Earth cultivator, and the girl was an eight-star Great Cultivator.
"Both of you, can we travel with you?" the man asked earnestly.
Lu Chen looked at the girl strangely. She was in the Fifth Layer of Heaven at such a young age. Unless she was a native, it was almost impossible to come to the Fifth Layer of Heaven at such a young age.
"You are a native?"
"Yes!" The man nodded. "This is my daughter. During a hunt, we obtained some opportunities and embarked on the path of cultivation."
Very few natives could cultivate, but there were countless opportunities in the Fifth Heaven, so it wasn't completely impossible for natives to cultivate.
Moreover, these two people's cultivation levels were not low. Among the natives, they were considered top-notch experts.
Seeing that Lu Chen and Luo Yao were silent, the man said, "Please take my daughter with you. This rain is strange. I think it's caused by a powerful Demonic Beast. With my strength, I can't protect Xiao Hui. I only ask that you take my daughter with you."
"What does your daughter have to do with us?" Luo Yao said coldly.
"Both of you, I know that you are very strong. On the first night, I happened to be outside the camp …" The man mustered up his courage and looked at them. His implication was obvious. He had seen Lu Chen and Luo Yao killing the Nightwalker Tribe!
"So what if you saw it?" Luo Yao didn't buy it at all.
"Both of you, please don't misunderstand. I have no intention of exposing you. These few days, I have been very tight-lipped and didn't mention a word to anyone! What I mean is that since the two of you could kill those Nightwalkers, you definitely have the strength to protect yourself. Taking Xiao Hui with you might be a piece of cake … But to me, if that person came, even if I risked my life, I wouldn't be able to protect Xiao Hui … "The man choked." I promised the child's mother that I would protect Xiao Hui … But I … "
"Since you want to protect your daughter, why did you bring her to Demon Eye Valley?" Lu Chen asked.
The man seemed to have something he couldn't say, but now was not the time to hide it. He sighed. "White Lion Kingdom's War God, the Lion King, is about to gain attributes. The child's mother, she … she is the medium for the Lion King's awakening. In order to gain the Lion King's attributes, the child's mother must be sacrificed. Three months ago, someone snatched the child's mother away.
Most people wouldn't believe such a baseless story, but Lu Chen was already eighty to ninety percent convinced.
Only a few people knew about this! The man wouldn't use such a thing as an excuse.
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes. The Lion King was about to awaken? His method of rebirth was similar to the Ice God's. He also relied on the natives to store the necessary ingredients for his rebirth.
"Three months ago … It's been so long. I'm afraid your wife …"
Not everyone was like Xue 'er, who could meet Lu Chen.
The man's eyes reddened. His voice trembled. "I know! I know … But I won't give up until I see it with my own eyes! Even if it's a corpse, even if it's a strand of hair, I will find it! "
Lu Chen sighed. The fate of the weak was so lowly. His true love was so easily taken away.
"The two of you follow us." This was all Lu Chen could do now.
Luo Yao said unhappily, "Hey, I'm only protecting you. I'm not responsible for protecting them."
Lu Chen smiled. "It's okay. I will protect them."
Although Luo Yao was cold, she still covered the father and daughter with her spiritual shield.
"Thank you for your kindness. My name is Ah Tie. Xiao Hui, quickly thank the two benefactors."
Luo Yao waved her hand, heartlessly rejecting the two's thanks.
Lu Chen had been thinking about a question. The seven ancient gods seemed to be reborn one after another. Could this be a coincidence? Why did it happen after he opened the spiritual veins in the Heavenly Lake?
The situation in the Fifth Heaven seemed to be getting more and more complicated!
What a deadly immortal level hidden mission … This was going to overturn the entire Heavenly Layer.
"Father, can we reach the Peacock City before the full moon?" Xiao Hui asked. "If we really delay until the full moon, will we all die?"
Ah Tie looked at the sky and frowned. "Don't be afraid. Xiao Hui, as long as we don't meet any demonic beasts, we should be able to make it."
However, just as Ah Tie finished speaking, someone in front of the group suddenly shouted.
"There's a demonic beast!"
