Demonic Beasts

"These mushrooms are called Nightlight Mushrooms. They grow everywhere underground and emit a faint light. Without them, it would be impossible to enter the Underground World. You have to understand that endless dangers lurk in the darkness. Many demonic beasts can pounce at any moment. However, this place is also excellent for honing one's mental will and developing potential. You need to be in constant danger. Most of our Yuhua Sect's outer disciples, before reaching the Mystic Divine Realm, cultivate diligently in this Underground World," Shen Hao said.

As he spoke, a black shadow suddenly darted out from behind a large rock, lunging towards Fang Xuan, who was at the front.

It exuded a powerful, bloody aura. As soon as it got close, a foul stench filled the air. It was a Blood Wolf, its mouth wide open, its massive teeth aiming for his throat.

Swish~

With a swing of his long sword, a flash of sword light streaked across, and the Abyss Blood Wolf was instantly cut in two. Its blood splattered onto the fertile black soil, further increasing its richness.

"Fang Xuan, are you alright?" Fang Qingxue exclaimed in surprise.

Fang Xuan grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth, and said with a chuckle, "I'm fine, this beast can't hurt me."

Shen Hao also walked over, looking at the wolf's corpse on the ground. "It's an Abyss Blood Wolf. I didn't expect to encounter this beast as soon as we entered the Underground World. These Abyss Blood Wolves have extremely tough bodies. Their teeth can bite through granite. When they eat people, they can even chew bones into powder and swallow them. Moreover, their speed is like lightning, and they are extremely cunning, skilled at enduring and launching sneak attacks. If they reach the surface, they can kill an entire village. Even experts in the Divine Strength Realm can be bitten to death if they're not careful. Often, an entire village in a dynasty is wiped out by a single Blood Wolf.

There are many such Blood Wolves underground, and they even dare to devour Underground Demons.

However, the fur of the Blood Wolf is worth a fortune outside. Many high officials and noblemen consider wearing Blood Wolf fur coats a great honor. Furthermore, there is a bone on the top of the Blood Wolf's head called Blood Essence. It is brightly colored and contains extremely rich vital energy. Ordinary people who wear it can treat physical weakness and replenish insufficient vital energy and blood. It is also the best material for refining many elixirs, Magic Items, and Spirit Items."

After speaking, he stepped forward and gently prodded with his Demon Slaying Sword, hitting the top bone of the Blood Wolf's head. He pried out a thumb-sized piece of Blood Crystal skull.

"Catch."

Fang Xuan reached out and took it, feeling a warm sensation, like warm jade.

"Good stuff. Be careful. I saw in the All Worlds that these underground Blood Wolves are pack animals. There can't be just this one."

The faces of the few people tightened, and they quickly gathered around Fang Xuan.

"Let's go, keep moving forward."

With Fang Xuan as the vanguard, Shen Hao and his sister on the left and right, and Fang Qingxue positioned at the rear to prevent sneak attacks, the four-person small formation slowly advanced.

As expected, as soon as they crossed the large rock, dozens of Abyss Blood Wolves pounced.

"Divide Shadow Three Strikes."

"Nine Stars Heavenly Chill."

"Azure Wave Overlapping Water."

"Fallen Starfall."

The four of them unleashed their moves, each stepping out with profound footwork. The Demon Slaying Sword unleashed sword energy, dense and numerous, like a sword net.

In a short while, dozens of Abyss Blood Wolves were completely slain, and each person obtained some Blood Essence.

In the secular world, they disdained money, but upon entering this immortal sect, food, clothing, housing, and transportation all required resources, especially cultivation, which was indispensable.

Hiss hiss hiss~

Suddenly, several colorful poisonous snakes shot out from the grass, biting towards the four of them. These poisonous snakes were surprisingly not afraid of the scent on their feather robes, showing how poisonous they were.

However, since entering the Underground World, their spirits had been highly concentrated. Facing the sneak attacks of these poisonous snakes, they did not panic at all. Their Demon Slaying Swords slashed through, their sword stances mysterious, and the heads of the rushing poisonous snakes were easily sliced off.

Fang Xuan seemed to have thought of something and said, "Split these snake heads in half from the middle."

Although the three of them didn't know why Fang Xuan would do something so redundant, they still followed his advice and swung their Demon Slaying Swords.

Hiss~

A snake head that was clearly dead suddenly shot out from the ground again, biting towards Shen Ruolan's wrist.

"Be careful."

A cold light flashed in Fang Qingxue's hand, and the snake head was split in two, falling to the side.

Looking at the somewhat flustered Shen Ruolan, Shen Hao reprimanded, "Ruolan, the Underground World is extremely dangerous. You have to face danger from who knows where at any time. You must not be careless. If it weren't for Qing Xue just now, even if you didn't die, you would have lost this arm."

Shen Ruolan was also so frightened at this moment that her eyes were filled with tears, and she dared not say more.

Shen Hao cupped his hands towards Fang Qingxue and sincerely said, "Thank you."

"It's nothing," Fang Qingxue said. "Fang Xuan, how did you know these snake heads would still attack people?"

"I was bitten before."

"..."

The four of them stayed in place for a while, then set off again towards the depths of the Underground World.

Along the way, they killed various demonic creatures in the Underground World and also obtained various treasures.

Part of it was certain parts of these demonic creatures, such as the blood and fur of demonic beasts, and the Blood Essence of the Blood Wolf just now, and also the special products of the Underground World.

The Underground World has rich mineral resources, such as Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron, Ink Gold, Purple Silver, Essence Gold, White Radiance Steel, Earth Crystal Stone, Azure Falling Stone, Tidal Jade... and so on. These are rare heavenly treasures on the surface, and they are all necessary materials for refining flying swords and Magic Treasures. They can even assist in cultivation and enhance one's spirit.

Of course, these treasures were only a part of the harvest. Since entering the Underground World, everyone's spirits had been highly tense and concentrated, constantly paying attention to the movements around them. During combat, they dared not be negligent in the slightest. In the process of continuous mental tension, their cultivation actually increased slightly.

Fang Xuan wiped the blood off his Demon Slaying Sword and sighed, "No wonder outer disciples like to come to the Underground World for training. It really is a good place to improve cultivation."

In just this short half-day, Fang Xuan had already felt the threshold of the Divine Courage Realm and would be able to break through before long.

Fang Qingxue also had a smile on her face, clearly feeling her own progress as well.

"Roar!"

The four of them changed color and quickly gathered together.

"Hide."

In the darkness ahead, a long line of torches appeared, like a fiery dragon, walking towards them face to face.

Under the illumination of the firelight, the four of them saw clearly that they were tall Underground Demons.

All Worlds divides demons into three categories.

Human Demons.

Earth Demons.

Heavenly Demons.

Simply put, Human Demons are humans who cultivate the demonic path and achieve Mystic Divine Realm, such as the "Innate Demon Sect," "Eternal Regret Demon Sect," and "Red Dust Demon Sect"...

Heavenly Demons come from the outer starry sky, are diverse in type, formless and insubstantial, and are skilled at conquest and slaughter.

Earth Demons are the creatures from the deep abyss underground, like the ones before them. They are ferocious, vicious, and extremely evil, yet they possess great intelligence.
