"Cave!" Their eyes lit up when they saw the cave in front of them, which was neither big nor small. They were all very experienced in fights of magical powers. Just by looking at the terrain in front of them, they understood what Lu Xiaotian was planning.
"Haha, Brother Lu, I really have to hand it to you. Even in this kind of situation, you can still find such a good place to ambush." Yu Dongbao laughed.
"It's just good luck." Lu Xiaotian replied simply and took the lead to enter the cave where the light was not very good. The inside of the cave was quite humid and the space inside was not small. However, for those White Bone Falcons, it was not very spacious.
Huo Ying, Shao Zixia, and the others smiled. Once or twice could be attributed to luck or fluke, but after a few more times, they also believed it. Their brains were not that simple. The surroundings were covered in a gray haze, and they couldn't see far with their naked eyes. Even their divine sense was limited. Since Lu Xiaotian was able to reach this place before the three of them, it was obvious that his divine sense was stronger than theirs.
Whoosh whoosh. The sound of huge bone wings flapping behind them rang out and a fishy smell came. A few bent pine trees at the entrance of the cave were directly broken by the wind created by the White Bone Falcons. Some of them were even uprooted, and small stones flew everywhere.
The White Bone Falcons relied on their nimble bodies and directly jumped into the cave. However, the space inside the cave was much smaller than outside. Due to the terrain, the White Bone Falcons were unable to encircle Lu Xiaotian and the others as easily as before.
Sharp saber Qi and sword Qi slashed out at the same time. It was Yu Dongbao's Cyan Moon Saber and Shao Zixia's long sword. One left and one right.
Ga! Under the restriction of space, the White Bone Falcons could not display their high speed outside. However, the White Bone Falcons did not panic. They flapped their wings and their bodies blurred. Their skeletons faded. Yu Dongbao and Shao Zixia's long swords slashed through the White Bone Falcons' shadows as if they were slashing through the air.
The White Bone Falcons' bodies swept across a distance of dozens of feet. Their hollow black eyes were full of pride.
The White Bone Falcons behind them also pounced.
"I didn't expect this beast to be so cunning." Shao Zixia lightly reprimanded, not minding it. She opened her small bright red mouth and spat out a drop of blood essence, which hit the flying sword in the air.
The flying sword immediately shone brightly, and layers of light green ripples appeared on its surface. The White Bone Falcon behind them wanted to use the same trick to pass through Shao Zixia and Yu Dongbao's interception, but when it was surrounded by the light green ripples, its fading body gradually reappeared.
Kaka … The heavy Cyan Moon Blade directly cut an unprepared White Bone Falcon in half.
The first White Bone Falcon was also killed by Huo Ying. "Brother Lu, you've put in the most effort along the way, and now you've picked such a good ambush point for us. You should take a rest first, and leave these White Bone Falcons to the three of us."
Along the way, Huo Ying, who felt that his effort was far inferior to Lu Xiaotian, said.
Lu Xiaotian nodded. He had led the three of them all the way here, and had indeed used up a lot of his Divine Sense. Although his five Primordial Spirits could still be used in rotation, since the three of them took the initiative, he naturally wouldn't refuse a little more time to recover. He needed to be in his best condition, so that he could better deal with danger later.
Moreover, the three of them had a tacit understanding. Their strength wasn't weak to begin with, and they also had the geographical advantage, which was enough to deal with these White Bone Falcons. For the time being, he didn't need to act. Now that he had some time to spare, he sized up the cave he was in.
The ground was damp, and many places were covered with moss. There were some fleas, spiders, and other small insects among the moss. The low-level insects were originally climbing around casually, but when they felt the huge ghost Qi and the ripples of transcendence energy, the huge pressure from the higher level even caused many of the low-level insects to be directly shaken to death.
Lu Xiaotian shook his head inwardly. The cultivation world was just this cruel. If it were a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators, he, Huo Ying, and the others probably wouldn't be much better than these low-level insects.
White bones constantly fell from the sky, and some of the low-level insects couldn't resist the temptation. They didn't fear death and instinctively crawled towards the white bones. Lu Xiaotian originally didn't pay much attention to them, but when he saw a few incomparably fast gray shadows, his eyes narrowed.
Shadowmouse Weasels. Although they were only Shadowmouse Weasels of the third to the fifth rank, Lu Xiaotian, who had already experienced the power of these monsters, couldn't help but feel somewhat shocked. Compared to those Bone Falcons, whether in this narrow space or outside, these nimble and agile Shadowmouse Weasels were clearly much more dangerous. A few low-level Shadowmouse Weasels were fine, but once their numbers increased, even Lu Xiaotian would have no choice but to flee.
Fortunately, the battle with the Bone Falcons was nearing its end. The bones of the slain Bone Falcons fell from the sky like rain.
The last two Shadowmouse Weasels, who were relatively weak, couldn't hold on any longer. They turned and fled.
Shao Zixia and the others didn't even have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief before Lu Xiaotian gestured for them to look at the Shadowmouse Weasels hiding nearby.
The expressions of the few of them changed simultaneously. Following Lu Xiaotian, they carefully retreated out of the cave.
"This place is filled with danger. Brother Yu, you should hurry up and take out the items and determine the direction as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we keep going around like this, we'll die of exhaustion before we even find the Nascent Fruit," Shao Zixia said with some trepidation after retreating out of the cave.
"This … fine. I originally wanted to search for a while longer, but who would've thought that the Ghost Race would wreak havoc here? Our plans have all been disrupted. However, the environment here has changed greatly. It's hard to say if my Bloodfloat Mayflies will be able to last until we find the Nascent Fruit," Yu Dongbao said worriedly.
"For now, we don't have any other ideas. Let's give it a try. Without the Bloodfloat Mayflies, all we can do is blindly cultivate. If things don't go well, we might even get as far away from the Nascent Fruit as possible, "Huo Ying said in support of Shao Zixia's words.
"Bloodfloat Mayflies?" A strange light flashed through Lu Xiaotian's eyes. He hadn't expected that they would even be able to get their hands on such a demonic creature. Bloodfloat Mayflies were extremely rare. Although it wasn't difficult to train them for one's own use, it was an extremely tedious process that could easily lead to death.
If Lu Xiaotian wanted to raise them, he probably wouldn't even need to do anything other than draw out a strand of his Primal Spirit to look after them at all times.
Generally speaking, only a few ancient cultivation clans would have the energy to do something like this. However, Bloodfloat Mayflies had an extremely unique ability. If their master left behind a keepsake in a dangerous location, even if they came back decades later, the Bloodfloat Mayflies could still be found. However, Yu Dongbao's words weren't wrong. In this environment, it was hard to say how long the Bloodfloat Mayflies, which had weak vitality to begin with, would be able to last.
