As the secret ground was isolated from the outside world by a broken ancient array, the spiritual energy inside was much thicker. However, it was also unable to connect to the outside world, causing the place to be filled with poisonous miasma. Ordinary cultivators who entered would have to come out after a short while. Otherwise, their bodies would be greatly damaged.
Once Mu Li stepped into the secret ground, he activated a defensive magic treasure on him. Light blue ripples appeared around him like water, isolating him from the poisonous miasma outside.
This wasn't because Mu Li was afraid of the miasma. With his initial Golden Core cultivation, the miasma couldn't do anything to him. However, he wasn't going in alone this time. He had a younger brother on his back!
Although this would exhaust Mu Li, he didn't mind. It wasn't easy for him to bring Yu Yi out to play. He had to protect his younger brother.
"Do you feel any discomfort?" Mu Li asked.
"No, I don't feel anything. Brother, put me down!" After Hayashikawa finished speaking, he jumped down from Mu Li's back. However, he didn't leave the range of the light blue ripples.
"Are there a lot of spirit beasts here?" Hayashikawa surveyed his surroundings. All he could see was a patch of green. It was completely a primeval forest.
"Yes, this relatively enclosed environment nurtures many powerful spirit beasts. Hence, you must be careful later. Do you understand?" Mu Li said.
This wasn't his first time here. He was very familiar with the entrance. This was only the outermost area. The spirit beasts that they could meet were only in the Qi Refinement Stage. There wasn't much danger. He brought Hayashikawa in so that Hayashikawa could take a look at the outermost area. As for the more central area, he wouldn't bring Hayashikawa in.
After choosing a direction, Mu Li pulled Hayashikawa and headed into the depths of the forest.
Because each of the great clans had participated in such hunts many times, each clan had a detailed map in their hands. This was the best route that their predecessors had explored after countless failures. The gathering points of various spirit beasts were marked on the map, as well as the weaknesses of these spirit beasts. In this way, the people who came later could provide the most accurate information and save a lot of trouble.
Mu Li had such a map in his hands.
"The place we're heading to has a kind of Spirit Beast called the Green-Eyed Fox. Most of them are in the Qi Refining Stage, but they like to live in groups and are very fast. They're not easy to deal with, so be careful!" Mu Li warned.
"Alright, got it!" Hayashikawa nodded.
"I'll leave some weaker green-eyed foxes for you to kill. Remember, don't hurt their fur. Otherwise, the greatest value of these Spiritual Beasts will be gone!" Mu Li was still worried.
In fact, he had already told Hayashikawa before, but as soon as he entered the secret plane, he couldn't help but worry about Hayashikawa, and began to repeat the previous precautions over and over again. He didn't know why he was so talkative when facing Hayashikawa, he had always been reticent with others.
The two of them moved forward. Because Mu Li was an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, their speed was twice as fast as the others.
"Be careful!" Just as Hayashikawa was looking around, a green light flashed and pounced on Hayashikawa's face. However, before the green-eyed fox could get within three meters of Hayashikawa, it was struck down from the air by Mu Li's palm.
"Er … Brother, didn't you say to be careful not to hurt the green-eyed fox's fur? This … "Hayashikawa looked at the fox that was broken into two halves on the ground, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"I'm just afraid that you'll get hurt!" Mu Li shook his head helplessly. "The cultivation of the green-eyed foxes around here aren't high. With your Qi Refining Stage Level Five cultivation, you should be able to handle them. I'll go deeper to take a look, but I won't be too far away from you. Remember to call me immediately if there's any problem!"
Mu Li knew why he brought Yu Yi in this time. Playing was one thing, but to this younger brother, training was the most important thing.
This time, he could accompany Yu Yi in, but what about the next time? It was very likely that Yu Yi would have to come in alone. When that time came, there would really be no one to protect him.
Hence, this time, Mu Li wanted to do his best to let Hayashikawa understand the cruelty and reality of battle during his first hunt.
"Mm, got it!" Hayashikawa said.
Mu Li passed the defensive magic treasure to Hayashikawa and turned to leave. His figure gradually disappeared into the distance, but Hayashikawa knew that Mu Li didn't go far.
"Seems like I have to wait for a while more!" Hayashikawa thought to himself. It was actually very easy for him to escape Mu Li's control now, but if he just left like that, the Mu Family's hunt this time would be ruined.
He looked around carefully. Although these green-eyed foxes weren't a threat to him at all, he still had to put on an act.
At the entrance of the secret ground.
The people of the Wu Family had all entered this place. This time, they weren't in a hurry to hunt spirit beasts like before. Instead, they started another operation.
"Have you found out where Mu Li went?" A handsome young man asked. It was the young master of the Wu Family, Wu Shaofei.
"Young master, we haven't found anything yet. However, the Mu Family has always headed towards the northwest direction. This time, it shouldn't be wrong. We are gathering people to investigate." A young man from the Wu Family replied respectfully.
"Eldest senior brother, you see …" Wu Shaofei hesitated for a moment and turned to look at the young man behind him.
"It doesn't matter. Let's go in that direction. Since we're here this time, I'll definitely clear all obstacles for you!" Ye Zhiyuan said.
"Then I'll have to trouble eldest senior brother!" Wu Shaofei said happily.
In the past, everyone would follow the rules of the hunt. If they could avoid conflict, they wouldn't because it was forbidden. Moreover, once they left this place, all the consequences would be settled.
However, it was different this time. The person who came was the eldest disciple of the Yuan Ze Sect, Ye Zhiyuan. Even if he accidentally killed one or two people, no one in Yijiang City would dare to do anything to him. This was the reason why they were fearless.
The hunt this time would definitely be bloodier than any of the previous ones.
At this moment, three figures appeared at the entrance. One of them was a young girl wearing a veil, looking rather mysterious.
Ye Zhiyuan seemed to have sensed something. He glanced in that direction and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong, eldest senior brother?" Wu Shaofei asked. He followed Ye Zhiyuan's gaze and saw the three people who were preparing to enter the forest.
"Nothing!" Ye Zhiyuan shook his head. For a moment, he seemed to have felt an extremely powerful aura. It was so powerful that it could suffocate him. However, when he took a closer look, he realized that the three of them were only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Let's go!" Ye Zhiyuan said and led the Wu Family into the depths of the secret ground.
