That night, there were no tents, nor were there any places to sleep. Wu Tong and Zheng Jian usually slept outdoors, lying on a rock and sleeping. Lin Muyu had no choice but to take out the White Robe from her Cosmos Sack and spread it on the grass. Then, she used a few pieces of paper to form a canopy over a tree branch to block the dew. Fortunately, the depths of the White Leaves Forest were like spring, and there was no cold wind at night. Although this small campsite could not block the wind, it was still pretty good.
At the break of dawn, Qin Yin finally awoke. She felt that her soul was full, and her entire person was once more in high spirits. To the side, Lin Muyu was boiling a pot of Suan Ni meat soup. Wu Tong and Zheng Jian had picked quite a few wild vegetables to cook together, and the taste seemed to be even better. A fragrance filled the surroundings, so much so that a few young wolves appeared in the forest, as if lured over by the fragrance.
"It's a Swift Wolf."
Wu Tong smiled. "What cute Swift Wolves. How long has it been since a Swift Wolf appeared in the White Leaves Forest?"
Zheng Jian's gaze was gentle. "About three thousand years. These three young wolves are so cute."
"Yeah."
Wu Tong chuckled, and his figure suddenly disappeared. In the next moment, his two palms danced, slapping the three Swift Wolves to death. Carrying the corpses, he walked back and said with a smile, "Such cute Swift Wolves, the taste must be pretty good."
Qin Yin: "…"
Lin Muyu: "…"
… …
Not long after, the Suan Ni meat was cooked. The four of them had a hearty meal and prepared to set off.
Lin Muyu did not summon Snowwalker again. It was fine to let it live in this forest for a few days. The deeper they went into the Heavenly Tome Monolith Forest, the more dangerous it would be. Although there were Ice Palms and Fire Fists guarding it, there was no guarantee that they would run into Luo Lan and the others. Lin Muyu did not want Snowwalker to follow in her father's footsteps and be slapped to death by Luo Lan's palm.
After a night's rest, Lin Muyu's Dou Qi and physical strength had recovered to their peak condition. Most of the injuries she had suffered the day before had also healed. Her combat strength had recovered to at least 90%. She was ready to adventure again. Maple trees, birch trees, and some unknown trees were everywhere in the dense forest. Moreover, there were natural stalagmites that broke through the soil in the fertile field. If one were to look closely at the material, one would realize that the stone tablets used to inscribe the Heavenly Tomes were made from these stalagmites.
The four of them were not in a hurry. Right in front of them, a milky white stalagmite rose into the sky. It was about a hundred meters tall and looked like a spectacle. Lin Muyu and Qin Yin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Zheng Jian smiled and explained, "All living things have spirits. In the White Leaves Forest, the rocks are the same. These rocks are the spirits of the mountains, just like the spirits in the air. They can grow on their own."
Qin Yin was taken aback. She smiled and said, "You mean, stones can also grow?"
"Yes."
Zheng Jian cupped his fists in a very serious manner and said, "Miss Qin Yin, the spirituality of stones comes from the earth element spirits. Stones originally came from the earth. Although the flame stone spirits are very slow and clumsy, they are also one of the most honest elements. Therefore, the Heavenly Tomes of the law of earth mostly exist as rock attacks. This … the successor should understand."
Lin Muyu naturally understood. He had used the low-grade Earthly Tomes of the law of rock to attack Luo Lan. He had almost made Luo Lan's chrysanthemum bloom. This scene was something he could never forget. Thus, he nodded and said, "Yes, as Zheng Jian said, stones can grow on their own."
Qin Yin said cheerfully, "Oh, I know …"
…
Just like that, after they walked for a few kilometers, the number of stalagmites around them increased. It gave them the feeling that they had entered a stone forest. Suddenly, a powerful aura appeared in Lin Muyu's Spirit Pulse Technique. However, these auras were fluctuating violently as if something had happened.
"What's going on?"
Wu Tong also sensed something. He clenched his fists and said, "I think we should pick up our pace. Something must have happened up ahead."
The four of them leapt up together, and in the blink of an eye, they had traveled several kilometers. However, they could only hear miserable howls coming from up ahead. In the open space of the forest, Behemoths with fiery-red hair were lying there, howling. Some were already dead, while others had their arms and legs torn off, lying there waiting for death.
"What's going on?" Lin Muyu was stunned. "Who did this, these Behemoths …"
"It's the Red-Headed Behemoths!"
Wu Tong said in a low voice. "These Behemoths are all spiritual beasts raised by the Spiritual Scholar. They assist him in guarding the Heavenly Tome Forest of Monoliths, but now they've been killed by someone. It's truly despicable!"
As far as Lin Muyu could see, there were at least thirty Behemoths here. More than half of them were dead, while the rest were heavily injured and on the verge of death. Moreover, these Behemoths' lifespans ranged from 12000 to 15000 years, so they were not weak. Who could have defeated the encirclement of so many Red-Headed Behemoths and even killed so many of them?
The answer was as clear as day. Besides Luo Lan, who else could it be?
… …
After examining the corpses of the Red-Headed Behemoths, they saw that their spirit stones had already been plundered. There were even some Behemoths that were not heavily injured, but had a hole in their head. Their spirit stones had been taken just like that, but their bodies had been left behind to wait for death. The miserable howls they let out were extremely unbearable.
Zheng Jian said, "The bloodstains haven't completely dried up, so the intruder hasn't gone far. Let's hurry over. Perhaps the Spiritual Scholar needs our help. The intruder is too strong!"
"Yes!"
Everyone rushed over with all their might. Along the way, they could see many Earthly Tome stone tablets, but no one had the intention to obtain the Divine Text. Lin Muyu's real target was the Heavenly Tome stone tablets in the deeper parts of the valley. Moreover, he was worried about the Spiritual Scholar, Xu Hao's life and death, so he could not delay any longer.
After traveling for about five kilometers, the sound of battle came from the front, and waves of divine energy enshrouded the valley!
"We've arrived at the spiritual grains!"
Zheng Jian clenched his fists tightly and dashed over the grass. He said, "The Spiritual Scholar must have been attacked. God damn it, who are these people? Why are they so strong!?"
Lin Muyu quickened his pace and activated the Falling Star Steps. He rushed into the valley like a meteor. When he arrived at the valley, he was shocked by the scene in the distance — the corpses of nearly fifty Red-Headed Behemoths were lying on the ground. In the distance, more than ten Hunting Ghost Generals and Red-Headed Behemoths were engaged in a fierce battle with a group of people. Perhaps those people weren't humans, but gods!
Luo Lan was among them. Divine energy enshrouded her palm, and her face was full of smiles. Behind her was a group of disciples from the seven world palaces, and there was no lack of Saint realm cultivators among them.
However, the one with the strongest killing intent in the group was a woman dressed in a fiery red dress. Golden divine energy flowed between her arms. She was actually another God realm cultivator!?
"Pfff!"
The woman in red suddenly struck out with one arm, and flames surrounded her arm. Her palm directly pierced through the head of a Red-Headed Behemoth. In the next moment, the warm spirit stone was forcibly plucked out by her. Fresh blood flowed everywhere, but her face was full of a satisfied smile. Her palm shone with a resplendent golden light, and a mysterious force rapidly disintegrated the spirit stone.
"Huuu …"
The woman took a deep breath and absorbed the Behemoth's spirit stone into her body. The satisfied expression on her face became even more exuberant, and she said with a smile, "Only the spirit beasts of the human world are so delicious, wahahahaha … Luo Lan, you've made the right choice to bring me here!"
Luo Lan smiled respectfully, "As long as Dancing Flame Immortal is satisfied, you can enjoy all the spirit stones here!"
"Good!"
The woman in red's smile became even wider, "Don't worry, I won't forget about your benefits. After we obtain the Eight Great Divine Books of Laws, I will naturally give you two or three of them."
"Thank you, Dancing Flame Immortal!" Luo Lan's face was full of smiles.
…
At this time, a melodious flute sound suddenly came from the depths of the valley. In the distance, there were stone pillars carved with dragon patterns, and a handsome scholar sat on a white jade slab, playing the jade flute in his hand. The flute sound seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power, and the morale of the Behemoths and Hunting Ghost Generals, who were almost exhausted, was greatly boosted. They brandished their weapons and sharp claws and rushed towards Luo Lan and the others.
Scholar Ling, this person must be Xu Hao!
"Hmph, truly hateful!"
Luo Lan sneered and said, "Men, go kill that weak scholar. He's the one who's causing trouble and ruined our plans. Go immediately!"
"Yes, Venerable Immortal!"
A Saint realm first layer disciple flew over with a long sword in hand, and raised his sword high up in the air. Suddenly, a towering wave of energy surged out from the long sword, and with a momentum that could split heaven and earth, the sword smashed down!
Disciples of the seven world palaces, each and every one of them had extraordinary skills!
The flute sound stopped, and Scholar Ling suddenly opened his eyes, which shone with a faint green light. Suddenly, an iron fan appeared in his hand, and the golden divine runes carved on it glowed brightly. An indigo light shot up into the sky, and the energy of heaven and earth had already been drawn. It was a mid-grade heavenly book, the Law of Wind!
"Shua …"
In the calm valley, countless invisible wind blades suddenly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, they gathered into a towering storm that swept out!
"What!?"
The seven world palaces' disciples in the air could not dodge in time, and their bodies abruptly shattered into pieces. As for Scholar Ling Xu Hao, he lightly spun his iron fan, and the power of the heavenly book continued to wreak havoc. In an instant, seven of the seven world palaces' disciples were also shattered by the wind, and Luo Lan's expression was as ugly as it could be.
"Bastard!"
That red-robed girl roared in anger, and her pair of jade feet lightly stepped on the void, and she leaped into the air. She raised her tender arms, and a towering flame condensed in them as she said indifferently, "Break for me!"
"Boom!"
The flame and the storm collided, and the sound of explosions rang out incessantly. The strong wind blew the entire valley into a purgatory.
… …
"Successor, be careful!" Wu Tong hurriedly stood in front of Lin Muyu, and with an ice palm, he blocked the stones that were blown over by the strong wind.
Lin Muyu narrowed her eyes. She was not afraid of this kind of attack, but she was extremely worried about Scholar Ling. She asked indifferently, "Who is that girl?"
"A God King Realm Mid God." Wu Tong replied indifferently, his eyes filled with battle intent.
