Chapter 848: 757 Spirit Beast Squad Merits

In a certain azure sea realm, one could see a golden gate of light, with Teng Xiong, Ba Yu, and Jin Yu standing nearby.

"The restriction is so powerful, it prevents Unity Cultivators from entering."

Teng Xiong frowned as he spoke.

"They have returned."

Ba Yu spoke, turning his head to look toward the distant horizon.

A blue escape light and a golden escape light appeared in the sky, pausing with a flash, revealing a portly old man in blue robes and a tall, thin man in golden robes.

"Ba Jian! Did you exterminate Xu Jing?"

Ba Yu asked.

"He used the ’Four Seas Escape Infant’ spell, allowing his Nascent Soul to escape. Even if he seizes another body to cultivate again, it will still take him thousands of years to restore his cultivation. What about Hu Jiang and the others? Haven’t they returned yet?"

Ba Jian said.

Ba Yu was about to answer when he took out a divination disk that continuously shimmered with blue light. He inserted a spell into it and frowned, saying, "Hu Jiang’s Life-Bound Lamp has been extinguished; he has been killed."

"What? Three of them were pursuing a Unity Cultivator, and Hu Jiang was killed? Could they have encountered other Unity Cultivators?"

Ba Jian found it hard to believe.

"It seems so! This person is somewhat unfamiliar; I haven’t seen him before."

Ba Yu said.

Shen Long had ascended to the Unity Realm less than two hundred years ago and spent most of his time cultivating in the Qianling Sect. It was normal for the Haixi Clan not to know about Shen Long.

Jin Yu took out a golden divination disk that flickered with golden light and inserted a spell, his expression turning grim as he said, "Two of my clansmen have also perished. It seems they encountered powerful individuals from the Human Clan."

In their view, since all four of Shen Long’s group were at the early stage of Unity, there must have been other Unity Cultivators assisting to have succeeded in exterminating their clansmen.

"Let’s just guard here! We hope our people can take control of the Five-Colored Fairy’s Zouhua Cave."

Teng Xiong said in a deep voice.

Ba Yu and the others agreed. No matter how fierce the battle outside, whoever controlled the key mechanisms of the Zouhua Cave could freely enter and leave.

······

A continuous range of verdant mountains, where giant trees thousands of feet tall could be seen everywhere, lush and flourishing with sparse sunlight.

Under a certain giant tree were three blood-red Lingzhi mushrooms with some golden patterns on their surfaces. Oddly, no traces of Monster Beasts were seen nearby.

Suddenly, thick green vines burst from the ground, surrounding the three blood-red Lingzhi.

Not far away, the ground exploded, and a giant black scorpion emerged, with massive pincers and spewing poisonous mist.

At that moment, an earth-shattering dragon roar sounded, and the black scorpion froze in place, unmoving.

An Eight-Winged Soul-Eating Centipede flew over, and the black scorpion showed no reaction.

The Eight-Winged Soul-Eating Centipede spat out a black rainbow light that enveloped the black scorpion’s body. A mini scorpion flew out of the body and was sucked into the centipede’s mouth by the black rainbow light and swallowed.

Shen Lang walked over as the green vines retracted into the ground.

"Blood Jade Golden Ganoderma of over forty thousand years!"

Shen Lang showed a joyful expression.

The Blood Jade Golden Ganoderma, which was over thirty thousand years old, was one of the main ingredients in refining the Blood Jade Golden Ganoderma Pill and had excellent healing effects.

The Spirit Beast Squad had a strong ability to search for resources. The Spirit-Seeking Mouse was responsible for scouting paths and finding restrictions. When they discovered Spiritual Medicine or Spirit Fruit trees, they would send the Flower Demon to use the Wood Escape Technique to approach, and the Shen Die, Eight-Winged Soul-Eating Centipede, Shadow Beasts, and others would swarm over and exterminate any Monster Beasts guarding the Spiritual Medicine.

So far, Shen Lang had obtained over two hundred plants of Spiritual Medicine that were over ten thousand years old.

Shen Lang carefully pushed aside the soil and dug out the three Blood Jade Golden Ganoderma, placing them into a jade box.

The Spirit-Seeking Mouse emerged from underground and said, "Lord Shen Lang, there are three Bloodvine Clan Cultivators two thousand miles to the southwest. I did not dare get too close for fear of being discovered."

"Red Fire Monkey, go and listen to what they are saying."

Shen Long instructed.

The Red Fire Monkey had a mutated ability to hear distant sounds. This Divine Skill was somewhat trivial, but it came in handy at this moment.

Besides combat and breaking restrictions, the Spirit Beast Squad also needed to learn languages. The Myriad Beasts Tower did not harbor the useless.

The Red Fire Monkey’s body emitted a bright red light, and its ears twitched.

"They’ve found a location with strong restrictions, possibly the control nexus. Three of them are unable to break through the restrictions and plan to seek help from other companions,"

the Red Fire Monkey said.

"Restrictions? Control nexus? Go and slaughter them,"

Shen Long ordered, his face full of murderous intent.

"Yes, Lord Shen Long,"

the Spirit-Seeking Mice chorused in agreement and dispersed.

A narrow valley unfolded where two men and a woman walked slowly, their faces full of vigilance.

The divine sense here was greatly restricted, even Late Stage Void Refinement Cultivators could only extend their divine sense by a thousand miles.

"There are special restrictions on the island, communication treasures are completely useless,"

a tall, blood-shirted young man frowned.

"Hopefully, we can meet up with other clan members soon! With our power alone, we can’t break the restrictions,"

a full-bodied woman in a golden skirt sighed.

"There’s a rank six Monster Beast coming, be careful of the ground,"

a medium-built man in a green shirt warned, holding a golden disk that flickered and showed the pattern of a Seven-Orifice Worm.

The Golden Divination Disk trembled slightly, emitting a piercing screech.

The blood-shirted young man frowned, flipped his right hand, and a chicken egg-sized blood-colored bead appeared in his hand. He infused it with Mana, and the bead radiated a glaring blood light.

"Huh, is that a Spirit-Seeking Mouse? No, Red Fire Monkey? No, Wind Thunder Centipede, Shen Die? Strange, so many types of Monster Beasts?"

the blood-shirted young man wondered aloud.

"Spirit Controller! Spirit Beast Battle Array! Not good, we’ve encountered the elite of the Human Clan,"

the woman in the golden skirt exclaimed, her face changing in shock.

They were about to make a move when a thunderous dragon roar resonated, echoing through heaven and earth.

The trio in blood shirts became dazed as they heard the sound, falling into an illusion.

Thick green vines burst from the ground, entwining their bodies.

A flash of blue light, and a giant tower circulating with blue light appeared above them. From the base of the tower, a stream of blue light enveloped the three and sucked them into the blue giant tower.

Shen Long arrived shortly after, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

He brought along a level six Mid-Stage Shen Die. Few Void Refinement Cultivators had treasures to resist illusions, not to mention they also had to deal with Shadow Beasts, Red Fire Monkeys, Wind Thunder Centipedes, and more.

Shen Long flew into the blue giant tower, while the Red Fire Monkey and Spirit-Seeking Mice waited outside.

Half an hour later, Shen Lang emerged from the tower, his expression excited.

"That place must be the control nexus; three Void Refinement Cultivators together couldn’t break the restriction,"

Shen Long excitedly said.

He flicked his sleeve, and nine yellow light-flashing talismans shot out, flying in all directions and buried into the ground.

Nine Elements Warning Talisman, breaking the restrictions might cause a lot of noise, so he had set up the warning talismans in advance to be promptly alerted of any incoming enemies.

The Nine Elements Warning Talisman was just the first line of defense; there were also Flower Demons and Shadow Beasts.

"Everyone follow me, there will be great rewards for obtaining the inheritance of the Five-Colored Fairy,"

Shen Long declared in a grave tone, leading them away from the area.
