The next morning, Lin Muyu and the other four woke up early and left in a hurry while the entire Lanyan City was still asleep. They chose five of the most handsome horses in the Eagle's Nest Camp. It was destined that they would have to spend four out of the five days on the road. It was impossible for the warhorses to not have the stamina and stamina. They entered the Dragon Seeking Forest at noon and headed southeast.
Along the way, they avoided all the spiritual beasts. Fortunately, there was an abandoned official road in the Dragon Forest, which had been abandoned for decades. It was originally a shortcut from the imperial capital to Tianshu Province, but after the Dragon Forest was blocked by the imperial capital's troops, it was abandoned. Thanks to this road, otherwise, if they walked on the mountain road, they might not be able to reach it even after five days and five nights.
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Muyu and the others had already entered the depths of the Dragon Seeking Forest. They only slept for four hours every night and fed the horses. They spent the rest of the time on the road, and all of them looked exhausted.
"Damn, what a pity. If we had the time, we would have killed that 2900 year old Cloud Leopard," Xiahou Sang said bitterly.
"The Cloud Leopard's fur is very precious. It is said that a complete Cloud Leopard's fur can be sold for more than 5,000 Jinn Coins in the capital. What a pity."
Lin Muyu smiled as she galloped on the horse. "Look at how poor you are. Don't worry, if we successfully complete the mission this time, I will ask His Majesty to increase the salary of the Eagle Nest Camp. At the very least, the soldiers who go on a mission should be rewarded. Otherwise, their enthusiasm will be too low."
Xiahou Sang smiled gladly. "The commander is wise. You should have done this a long time ago. When Lord Meng Fang was the commander, he only thought about his own promotion and was cautious in his actions. He never thought about fighting for a raise in salary for his brothers."
Wei Chou could not help but laugh. "Lord Xiahou, we are the Imperial Guards. We can't always think about Jinn Coins. When Lord Meng Fang was the commander, he only thought about getting promoted and was cautious. He never thought about fighting for a raise for his brothers."
"Wei Chou is right. The Jinyin Coin has a magical power. It will make people sink deeper and deeper until they reach a point where they are unable to extricate themselves. Then, everything will be over," a certain someone said as he wondered if he had already reached the point where he could no longer extricate himself.
Wei Chou respectfully replied, "What the Commander said is extremely true. Wealth is merely a worldly possession. It is still the Commander who sees things clearly. This subordinate is filled with admiration!"
Lin Muyu smiled proudly, but Wei Chou and Xiahou Sang didn't know that his Cosmos Sack was filled with 760,000 Jin Yin Coins, which was equivalent to diamond coins.
…
After running for a while longer, the road ahead started to blur. It was covered by wild grass, and it was almost impossible to see clearly. Lin Muyu unfurled the scroll and frowned. "Are we already very close to the Forest of Malicious Spirits? Xiahou Sang, you know better. Come take a look. "
Xiahou Sang took the map and glanced at it. He grinned and said, "Sir, we're lost …"
"…"
Lin Muyu was speechless. A million curses ran through her mind, but she maintained a smile on her face. "Then … please lead the way, Sir Xiahou. If we can't find the Forest of Malicious Spirits tonight, I promise I won't beat you to death."
Xiahou Sang shuddered. "Don't worry, Sir. I will definitely find the Forest of Malicious Spirits with my childhood memories!"
Very soon, they left the main road under Xiahou Sang's lead. The group rode through the thistles and thorns in the dense forest. This place was indeed deserted. No one had come here for at least a decade. The sun was about to set, and it was going to be night soon. If they couldn't find a dry and safe place to set up camp, they would probably be surrounded and attacked by many swift wolves.
The Swift Wolves were the most frequent spiritual beasts in the Dragon Seeking Forest. They were also the most cohesive spiritual beasts. Furthermore, the deeper into the forest, the stronger the Swift Wolves. Currently, the spiritual beasts that Lin Muyu and the rest were at were all between 3000 to 5000 years old. The pack of Swift Wolves here was enough to fight against a 5000 years old spiritual beast. They might even be able to kill a 5000 years old spiritual beast. This was the balance of nature.
Wei Chou took out a torch from the back of his horse. He dipped it in black beech oil and lit it up, illuminating the path ahead.
Another royal guard opened up the path in front. This was a fierce general who wielded a long blade. He swung his long blade that weighed 50 kilograms in an airtight manner, cutting through the branches and vines. He roared angrily as he opened up the path.
Lin Muyu followed closely behind. She slowly extended her Spirit Pulse Technique. Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Be careful ahead!"
"What's wrong, Sir? There aren't any spirit beasts … "Wei Chou said in surprise.
"No, there are. They're just hidden underground. Be careful."
"Yes!"
Xiahou Sang also lit a torch and urged his horse forward. Suddenly, a hissing sound came from beneath the ground. The next moment, with a snap, a blood-red vine with thorns broke out of the ground and quickly wrapped around Xiahou Sang and his horse. The thorns quickly pierced into his armor. Fortunately, Xiahou Sang's true qi was in his armor and he was not injured. He suddenly pulled out his saber and chopped the vine into pieces. He angrily shouted, "What the hell is this!?"
"Be careful!" Lin Muyu said indifferently.
"Pfft!"
Another blood-red vine drilled out of the ground and stabbed at Wei Chou like a spear. This attack was not weak.
Lin Muyu flipped off the horse and galloped forward. She raised one hand and the wall of the gourd blocked in front of Wei Chou. With a "dang", the vine was shattered into pieces. At the same time, she extended her Spirit Pulse Technique to the surroundings to capture the location of the spirit power. With a low shout, the Green Gourd Martial Spirit appeared and the gourd vines drilled into the ground.
"Awooo …"
Finally, the sneak attacker dug through the soil and came out of the ground. It was a wolf-type wild beast with red leaves all over its body. It looked very demonic as it wagged its tail. That tail didn't look like a normal wolf's tail. Instead, it looked like a vine with blood-colored juice flowing out of it. This was a spirit beast with both plant and wild beast characteristics.
Wei Chou squinted and said, "It's a Bloodthorn Vine Wolf, a 4700 year old Bloodthorn Vine Wolf. Hehe, it actually came to us. It's really courting death!"
Lin Muyu said, "I will attract its attention. Wei Chou, you kill it."
"Yes, Master!"
…
Without saying a word, Lin Muyu leaped into the air and unsheathed the Dragon Spirit Sword on her back. Under the guidance of bolts of lightning, she turned the sword around and slashed at the Bloodthorn Vine Wolf.
"Roar …"
The Bloodthorn Vine Wolf opened its bloody mouth and roared. There was not a tongue in its mouth, but a very disgusting plant feeler. This wolf looked like a creature from another dimension. So disgusting.
"Huala …"
Blood-red vines stretched out from the ground, intending to block Lin Muyu's attack. There were actually scales and thorns on the vines. It seemed to be a defensive skill of the Bloodthorn Vine Wolf.
However, the Dragon Spirit Sword was a fourth tier saint rank sword. How sharp was it?
"Kacha …"
Directly cutting the vines, Lin Muyu's Demonic Sound Fist landed on the Bloodthorn Vine Wolf's head.
"Wuuu …"
The Bloodthorn Vine Wolf was instantly stunned. It shook its head and retreated a few steps. At this time, Wei Chou pulled the Demon Devouring Bow from afar. "Sou!" An arrow flew out and directly hit the Bloodthorn Vine Wolf's neck. Like plant juice, fresh blood gushed out. The Bloodthorn Vine Wolf howled again and actually did not dare to fight anymore. It turned around and burrowed into the hole underground, digging quickly.
"It ran away?"
Wei Chou urged his horse forward, a helpless expression on his face. "This kind of Bloodthorn Vine Wolf uses vines to dig the ground. It is indeed a bit difficult to kill. Damn, it is my fault that I did not directly hit its head …"
Lin Muyu's eyes were cold. "It's fine. Follow it, it won't go far."
"Oh?"
Wei Chou was stunned. "Does Milady know the specific location of the Bloodthorn Vine Wolf?"
"Just follow me."
"Yes!"
It was time to show off her talent. The Spirit Pulse Technique allowed Lin Muyu to firmly lock onto the position of the Bloodthorn Vine Wolf. Everyone jumped onto their horses and galloped forward with Lin Muyu.
… …
The speed at which the Bloodthorn Vine Wolves fled was not just fast, it was almost as fast as a warhorse. Lin Muyu walked in front and lightly opened her hand towards a pile of shrubs. [Chaos of the Common Life]. In an instant, the ground in a radius of tens of meters was enshrouded by the [Chaos of the Common Life]. In the blink of an eye, a violent aura was emitted from the [Chaos of the Common Life]. With a "hua la" sound, the thorny shrubs were razed to the ground!
"Heavens …"
Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the others were dumbfounded, but they did not say anything. They could only secretly rejoice that they were not Lin Muyu's enemy. Having such an enemy was really a misfortune in life.
The Bloodthorn Vine Wolf continued to run underground, bringing Lin Muyu and the others with it for close to 20 minutes. Suddenly, Lin Muyu raised her hand and said, "Alright, stop chasing."
"What's wrong, Milady? This Bloodthorn Vine Wolf's spirit stone and beast soul are all treasures … "Wei Chou asked doubtfully.
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "No, it's not good to lose your life for treasures. Dismount and don't make any noise. Follow me to take a look. I can feel a power even stronger than the Bloodthorn Vine Wolf. It's not far ahead."
"Yes!"
Everyone solemnly followed Lin Muyu on foot. In front of them was a small hill. Lin Muyu quietly hid at the top of the hill and looked over. Under the moonlight, the Bloodthorn Vine Wolf seemed to be blocked by something. It let out a miserable howl and broke out of the ground. In the next moment, a bolt of lightning exploded in the sky. Immediately after, a fierce beast rushed out from the side of the snow. It jumped into the air and opened its mouth to bite the Bloodthorn Vine Wolf's head.
"Ao ao …"
The Bloodthorn Vine Wolf howled in pain, but it could not struggle. Its head was crushed with a loud crack.
Under the moonlight, the appearance of the ambusher appeared in front of Lin Muyu and the others. It was a huge beast covered in scales. At this moment, it was greedily chewing on the Bloodthorn Vine Wolf's head with relish.
"It's a Thunder Umbrella Dragon …"
Wei Chou was dumbfounded. "This is a 6,500-year-old Thunder Umbrella Dragon. It's the only one among the umbrella dragons that has the light attribute …"
"Is that so?"
Lin Muyu raised her arm and slowly pulled out the Dragon Spirit Sword. She smiled and said, "Wei Chou, do you know what the Thunder Umbrella Dragon's weakness is? It's time for you to show your strength. We'll launch a sneak attack. As long as you shoot an arrow from the Demon Devouring Bow into the Thunder Umbrella Dragon's body, it will be poisoned. After that, it will naturally be much easier to deal with. "
"Yes, let me try!"
