At the periphery of the open space, Lu Ye concealed himself and observed silently.
He still didn't understand why these people were gathered here, nor did he know their origins, so he naturally didn't want to reveal himself.
However, one after another, many cultivators rushed over from all directions and walked into the open space.
Seeing this situation, Lu Ye thought for a moment, then simply removed his concealment state and walked forward boldly.
A few gazes swept over, but they quickly moved away.
The mask Lu Ye wore concealed his appearance, and he had stored the amber in his Spirit Beast Pouch in advance, so even if some people thought he was hiding his head and tail, they didn't think much of it.
Although not every cultivator liked to do this, there were still many who wore masks on the battlefield.
He casually found a corner and sat down cross-legged, taking a posture of taking things as they came, while silently paying attention to the movements around him.
Soon, he heard some things from the conversations of some people, but these people didn't talk specifically. He could only vaguely infer that some kind of treasure had appeared nearby. Every night when there was moonlight, a strange phenomenon would appear, and the reason these people gathered here was to seize the treasure.
Unfortunately, the place where the treasure appeared was extremely dangerous, with a large number of powerful Monster Beasts gathered in the surroundings, so even though these cultivators had worked hard for many days, no one had been able to find out what the treasure was.
Lu Ye had heard of the emergence of rare treasures in the past. It could be considered a type of opportunity, but treasures that could produce such a phenomenon were rare. Under normal circumstances, such a phenomenon would be extremely valuable. It was no wonder that so many cultivators had gathered here.
And this was only what Lu Ye saw. If he didn't see it, there might be more cultivators gathering.
After discovering the purpose of these people gathering here, Lu Ye suddenly lost interest.
He had only come here to look for the giant armour. Although the treasure was good, so many people had spent many days and still failed to obtain it, so he didn't feel that he had any special hope.
Thinking so, Lu Ye was about to leave.
However, at that moment, a low shout sounded, "It's begun!"
Once this was said, the cultivators gathered here all stood up and flew into the air, looking in a certain direction.
Looking in the direction they were looking, Lu Ye saw a pillar of moonlight pouring down from the sky above a spirit mountain. The entire spirit mountain was enveloped by a kind of majestic and hazy moonlight, making the spirit mountain exude a kind of sacred aura.
"A strange phenomenon in the sky, as expected, a treasure has appeared!" someone exclaimed, his eyes filled with surprise.
This kind of treasure that could produce strange phenomena was no small matter. If a Cloud River Tier cultivator obtained it, even if they couldn't use it, they could still sell it for a large amount of cultivation resources.
"This treasure must be very attractive to Monster Beasts. Every night when there's moonlight, a large number of Monster Beasts gather there and kill each other.......................
"It's a pity that so far, no one has been able to clearly see what that treasure is. On the contrary, many people have died there. Everyone, when we take action later, we must sincerely cooperate. At the very least, we must first understand what kind of treasure it is."
"Fellow Daoist, you are right."
As the conversation entered Lu Ye's ears, he stared fixedly at the strange phenomenon of the tilted moonlight and frowned.
... Why did this scene look a little familiar?
He couldn't help but recall the scene in the Heaven Expanse Sect when Hu Po cultivated under the moon with Giant Armor. Comparatively, the scene in front of him was a little more magnificent.
Lu Ye suddenly had some bad guesses in his heart …
With this thought, he hurriedly sent a message to Giant Armor.
Soon, he received a reply from Giant Armor. Lu Ye thought for a moment and gave him some instructions.
The next moment, the strange phenomena on the mountain peak where moonlight poured down suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The corner of Lu Ye's eye twitched, and he instantly understood that he was right. That was not the sign of some strange treasure appearing at all, but Giant Armor cultivating!
A Cloud River Tier cultivator causing such a big commotion and even attracting so many cultivators to investigate, there was no one else.
Just as Lu Ye was cursing in his heart, the disappearance of the strange phenomena caused the expressions of many cultivators to change.
"Someone succeeded?"
If someone hadn't succeeded, that strange phenomenon couldn't have disappeared for no reason.
Once this was said, many cultivators became anxious and hurried in the direction of the Spirit Mountain.
At the same time, low growls and roars also came from the direction of the Spirit Mountain, accompanied by chaotic fluctuations of Spirit Power. Under the moonlight, many birds flew in the air, and colorful lights began to bloom.
The cultivators hadn't entered yet, but the demonic beasts there had already started fighting because of the disappearance of the strange phenomena.
To many cultivators, this kind of scene was already not strange because almost every night with moonlight, the demonic beasts there would be a chaotic battle, and many powerful demonic beasts had already died near the Spirit Mountain.
Wolf howls sounded, one after another, and gradually suppressed the other beast howls.
Lu Ye floated in midair and stared fixedly in the direction of the Spirit Mountain. There was not a single cultivator around, and he had a headache.
The strange phenomena were brought about by Giant Armor's cultivation. Not only did it attract many cultivators, but it also attracted many demonic beasts to fight endlessly over there. One could imagine how chaotic the scene there was.
Giant Armor's situation was naturally not very good.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment, then flew over in a flash.
However, before he could get close, a huge shadow fell from the sky. Accompanying the shadow was a bolt of lightning that resembled a swimming dragon.
It was a Storm Thunder Eagle, and judging from the power of its attack, it was a Demonic Beast equivalent to an Eighth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator.
Lu Ye didn't dare to take such a ferocious attack head-on, so he immediately controlled the Spirit Boat and dodged to the left and right while falling straight down.
But the lightning was like a living creature, chasing after him relentlessly.
Landing in a sorry state, Lu Ye unsheathed his Mountain Coiling Saber and slashed at the incoming lightning.
The huge impact sent Lu Ye flying diagonally, and the power of the lightning coursed through his body, causing him to feel numb.
Barely stabilizing his body, the Storm Thunder Eagle attacked again. Lu Ye raised his hand and slashed out a few saber waves, slightly obstructing the Storm Thunder Eagle, and at the same time, pouncing to the side.
A fishy smell lingered at the tip of his nose, and at the same time, a large amount of grey fog ignited on his Talent Tree.
A strong wind came from behind, and Lu Ye hurriedly fell to the side. In his field of vision, a thick figure swept past in front of him.
It was a poisonous python that had been lying in ambush nearby.
It originally wanted to sneak attack Lu Ye, but Lu Ye dodged and took the opportunity to pounce on the Storm Thunder Eagle.
The two huge Demonic Beasts instantly clashed, and the eagle's cry rang out continuously. A moment later, the Thunder Eagle flew up high, its sharp claws digging into the poisonous python's flesh, while the poisonous python's body coiled around the Thunder Eagle's body …
Lu Ye was left standing on the spot, sweating profusely.
The scene was extremely chaotic. Many Demonic Beasts of different races gathered here to fight, and with the addition of cultivators, the area within a hundred kilometres was a complete mess.
Lu Ye had only travelled ten kilometres, but he had already encountered several dangers. He even saw a cultivator suspected to be a Seventh Order Cloud River Realm cultivator get slapped to death by a bear-like Demonic Beast.
His death was extremely miserable!
He couldn't go any deeper. This place was too dangerous. Even a Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator might not be able to guarantee his own safety here.
No wonder he had heard the cultivators say that many days had passed, but no one had figured out what the strange treasure was.
This place was not close to the Spirit Peak where Giant Armor was cultivating, but it was already so cruel. One could imagine what the situation would be like closer to the Spirit Peak.
Trying to figure out what the strange treasure was in such a situation was as difficult as ascending to the Heavens.
Moreover, the cultivators' plans were destined to fail, because there was no strange treasure at all. There was only Giant Armor!
Lu Ye was very curious. How did Giant Armor survive in such a chaotic scene? Did the Demonic Beasts not attack him?
Even if he had entered the Cloud River Battlefield a few months earlier than Lu Ye, and even if his Monster Core still had excess energy, Giant Armor's cultivation shouldn't be too high.
But thinking about it carefully, the Demonic Beasts might really not attack Giant Armor, because the phenomenon brought about by Giant Armor's cultivation could also benefit the Demonic Beasts. This was also the reason why so many Demonic Beasts had gathered here.
Raising his hand and pressing on the battlefield mark, Lu Ye sent a message to Giant Armor, then quietly retreated to the periphery.
Giant Armor had stayed here for nearly two months without any danger, so he should be safe tonight. After dawn, Lu Ye could just ask him to meet up with him.
Lu Ye was close to him now, so he couldn't get lost.
Time passed, and the battle between the Demonic Beasts continued. Most of the cultivators had already retreated, because the phenomenon was gone. This meant that someone had likely taken away the unknown treasure. Since that was the case, they naturally didn't take the risk.
However, there were also bold cultivators who took advantage of the chaotic situation to take advantage of it.
Normally, it wasn't easy to kill high-level Demonic Beasts, but here, there were some opportunities to take advantage.
For example, at this moment, Lu Ye was staring in front of him in a daze, feeling the wonders of fate.
Not far in front of him, a huge figure was desperately struggling. It was the Tempest Eagle that had attacked him before.
The Tempest Eagle's condition was obviously not good, because there was a poisonous python coiled around its body, and the ground was covered in beast blood. The poisonous python was not moving, so it was most likely dead. However, the Tempest Eagle's condition wasn't much better. Lu Ye could clearly feel its vitality rapidly fading away, and its body was covered in a layer of faint green aura.
This was clearly a sign of poisoning.
Lu Ye didn't expect to run into these two Demonic Beasts when he retreated in this direction.
After observing for a while and confirming that the Tempest Eagle was at the end of its tether, Lu Ye immediately raised his saber and charged forward.
The killing intent startled the struggling Tempest Eagle, and its sharp gaze swept over. Even if its life was hanging by a thread, it still displayed the majesty of a king.
Lu Ye unsheathed his Mountain Saber and dragged it along, easily dodging a few lightning strikes that were only as thick as chopsticks. As he leaped high, he slashed down with his saber.
The sharp cry of the Tempest Eagle rang out, and the sharp blade cut through the Tempest Eagle's head, causing blood to spurt into the sky. (To be continued)
