After a night's rest, the two of them set off again energetically.
Zi Yan lived up to the expectations of Liuli, and successfully took Xiao Yan all the way north on the grounds that he had met a Seventh-tier Magical Beast in the west who hated humans very much.
During this period, they kept hunting for all the rare treasures along the way, which made Back Mountain a mess. As long as he doesn't meet Sixth-tier Magical Beast, he and Zi Yan can easily handle it.
As they went deeper and deeper, the number of monsters began to decrease sharply, but their strength continued to increase. Even for Fifth-tier Magical Beast, the territory that can be enclosed is less than half of the outer perimeter. They even stepped into Sixth-tier Magical Beast's territory once, but the lion had a thunder attribute, and Xiao Yan also gave up the idea of using Old Yao's power to hunt it.
Although they didn't meet Six-star Water-elemental demonic beast, they still gained a lot during this time. Xiao Yan took Sealing Crystal Pill, and with the help of several types of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that he had found, paired with Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, he broke through Dou Ling in one fell swoop, and directly reached the realm of Two-Star.
Now, through Green Lotus Transformation, he can reach the level of Five-Star Dou Ling. With the strength of Dou Qi tempered by Flame Mantra, he can also compete with Six-star Dou Ling. Coupled with several hole cards, it can be said that he is not afraid of ordinary opponents below Dou Wang.
Now, he has enough confidence to compete for the ranking of Inner Court Strength Ranking.
"That's great!" Zi Yan looked at the radiant Xiao Yan and said somewhat dullly.
In essence, she is still Magical Beast, and her bloodline is strong, so it is impossible for her to be promoted as fast as Xiao Yan. But she has a obsession with growing up, and Magical Beast has to improve her strength if she wants to surpass her childhood. So she kept eating every day, taking in a lot of energy. But for several years, she could only feel that her strength was getting stronger, but she did not feel the barrier of the lower class.
Xiao Yan changed into a set of smart green robes, looked at Zi Yan who was sitting there poking at the fire in a daze, and said softly, "What are our plans for tomorrow?"
The place they are going deep into now is quite unfamiliar even to Zi Yan. So now, what guides them forward is their special sensitivity to medicinal materials.
"Go northwest for about twenty miles, and then climb over a mountain. There is a large lake there. I felt a strong breath of life there, which should be good medicinal materials." Zi Yan responded.
Xiao Yan nodded, made a plan in his mind, and said, "Tomorrow, let's go to the top of the mountain to observe the danger. Then I will launch a few long-range attacks. If the enemies attracted are too strong, we will retreat. If it is only four Fifth Rank level, then we will go directly up and grab that thing!"
Now with the speed of Xiao Yan, the strange strength of Zi Yan, and the support of Sky Swallowing Python Xiao Cai, they can handle it even if they face three or four Fifth-tier Magical Beast. Further up, just ask Old Yao to take action.
late at night
On the mountain peak in the northwest mentioned by Zi Yan, a beautiful figure is standing on a tree, looking at the sparkling lake.
"What a powerful breath of life. What is there in this lake?" Soul Power, the girl, kept exploring the lake and couldn't help but sigh.
These days, Liuli has been following the two of them, checking for unresolved dangers for them. Fortunately, except for the terrifying aura, she never detected any creatures that could pose a threat to them.
But now the lake area in front is really weird.
The Life Force rising from the bottom of the lake was so strong that all the nearby flowers, plants and trees were several times taller. Logically speaking, such an excellent land boundary should attract many Magical Beast to live there.
But now, there are no living creatures around the lake.
Either this land is not suitable for living creatures to survive; or this lake is the territory of a powerful creature, making other Magical Beast afraid to come here!
Sure enough, when Liuli and Soul Power probed the bottom of the lake, they encountered a powerful aura.
It was a huge Water Python, two feet thick, and its length was immeasurable. What's strange is that there is a pair of strange dragon horns on its snake-shaped head.
"I'm knocking! Rascal Snake?" Liuli instantly thought of a villain in one of the few cartoons he had seen as a child in his previous life, and couldn't help but complain.
This Water Python with dragon horns looks like it has just entered Seven-star from the aura it emits.
"When it comes to Seven-star, is Dou Zong strong?" Liuli touched his chin, thinking about whether to take action to deal with this thing in advance.
This Water Python lives in the water. It is most likely Water-elemental demonic beast. The Magical Core in its body can naturally meet the requirements of Xiao Yan.
But the strength that Old Yao can exert is only at the level of low-level Dou Zong. Obviously, this guy cannot be dealt with quickly. If the battle lasts for too long, not only other Magical Beasts will be attracted, but also the attention of strong Black Corner Region or Jia Nan Academys may be attracted.
"Well, Old Yao already knows that I'm following them anyway. It's okay to make some noise." In the end, Liuli decided to take action. On the one hand, it was for the safety of Xiao Yan and Zi Yan. On the other hand, she was also curious about what the thing that exuded powerful Life Force was.
"Heart Rain." Liuli whispered, and a Blue Longsword appeared in her hand.
She walked step by step to the shore of the lake, stared at the calm lake for a long time, and raised her sword-holding arm.
"Cut!" The girl shouted softly and slashed down with her long sword.
A magnificent Sword Qi spanning nearly a mile appeared instantly and struck the lake with such force.
The lake water was instantly cut in half, and the water exploded all over the sky. It surged towards both sides of the lake like a mountain, submerging and knocking down tall trees.
At this time, a mournful cry of Magical Beast sounded from the exposed bottom of the lake.
With a loud noise, a huge python ejected from the lake and hovered directly in the air. There is already a deep Sword Mark on its body.
"Human! Rob? Kill me? Die!" Intermittent voices rang out from the Magical Beast air, expressing strong anger and murderous intent in just a few words.
"Just learned to speak?" Liuli frowned slightly. Logically speaking, Magical Beast has a strong intelligence in Fifth Rank, Six-star can speak human words, and Seven-star can directly be the same as humans.
But the Magical Beast in front of him didn't seem very smart, as if he had just turned on his intelligence.
Just as Liuli was thinking for a moment, Magical Beast still rushed in front of him, his thick tail carrying a strong wind.
Liuli stepped back and retreated nearly a hundred meters in the next moment. The blue-purple in his eyes instantly turned into emerald green. Water-Blue Long Sword emits dazzling light, and silver Dou Qi emanates from its sword-holding hand.
When the mop-up was close at hand, she slashed with one sword. A Silver Sword Qi shot out and collided with the thick tail.
"Boom!" The terrifying energy wave exploded, and the strong wind on Water Python's tail instantly collapsed. Sword Qi directly broke through Water Python's hard scales, like cutting a tofu board, cutting off the ten-foot-thick tail.
Water Python let out a scream, his huge body twisted in the air, and bright red blood spilled from the air.
Liuli's nose twitched slightly, and she discovered that this beast's blood also contained a strange breath of life.
It's so rich that it seems like it's not its own.
"Xiao Yanzi, Xiao Yanzi, wake up!" Xiao Yan rarely slept, so he heard Old Yao's cry.
"Teacher." Xiao Yan immediately opened his eyes and saw Old Yao floating in front of him.
"Let's go somewhere." Old Yao smiled mysteriously, turned around and walked out of the cave.
Xiao Yan was a little confused, but he followed him obediently, but before leaving, he deliberately sealed the entrance to the cave.
To prevent Magical Beast from entering by mistake, Zi Yan was disturbed while sleeping and was punched to death.
