A dozen or so men in gray shouted coldly, their chilling voices echoing endlessly through the mountains.
A moment later, they quickly dispersed to search for the rest of the Wolf Fang Demon Hunting Squad members, while also searching for Ye Xuan with all their might.
Not long after the dozen or so men in gray left, a figure appeared here like a ghost.
If Ye Xuan were here, he would definitely be shocked.
Because this person was none other than Gu Ran, who had been chasing him all the way.
Gu Ran merely glanced coldly at the corpses and instantly made his judgment.
"A swordsman's strike is fatal; the killer must be Ye Xuan."
" Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan, I never expected you to escape so quickly, and have already gotten here!"
"However, now that I have Gu Ran you, you have absolutely no chance of escaping again."
Gu Ran curled the corners of his lips, uttered a cold voice, and then his figure flashed and quickly disappeared from the spot.
Gu Ran, I arrive quickly and depart even faster.
He had no idea that he was being followed.
Because he had only been gone a short while, an elegant figure slowly walked out.
This is an absolutely beautiful woman.
She possessed a noble air and was as beautiful as an angel.
Her flawless, jade-like face, without any makeup, was breathtakingly beautiful.
She was like a fairy from a painting, untouched by worldly affairs, cold as frost, transcendent as an immortal.
After the woman appeared, her beautiful, cold eyes slowly swept over the corpses.
A faint hint of dissatisfaction seemed to emerge deep in her eyes, before she gracefully disappeared in the direction Gu Ran gone.
···
Ye Xuan had no idea that killing just a few trash had actually provoked Gu Ran.
At this moment, he was like a nimble monkey, moving swiftly through the mountains.
He didn't walk in a straight line, but kept changing direction while vigilantly observing his surroundings.
The Devil Beast Mountain Range, this is no joke.
If a powerful demonic beast were to ambush or attack him, even he would be in grave danger.
If they encounter a large group of demons, that would be even more troublesome.
Ye Xuan didn't take the so-called Wolf Fang Demon Hunting Squad seriously; in his eyes, they were nothing but trash.
What he truly cared about were Gu Ran and the powerful native inhabitants of the Devil Beast Mountain Range.
Because only these two sides can truly threaten him.
"We've now penetrated approximately 500 miles into the Devil Beast Mountain Range."
"Based on our calculations, the demonic beasts appearing here should be at the Nascent Soul Late Stage or at the Heavenly Position level."
"We need to be careful, otherwise, there could be quite a bit of trouble."
As Ye Xuan moved forward, he frowned in thought, and his pace slowed down.
As we moved forward, it gradually grew darker.
The pitch-black night, like a boundless, gaping maw of darkness, enveloped the entire world, creating a profound sense of tension and oppression.
The Devil Beast Mountain Range was already fraught with danger, and the air was filled with a chilling atmosphere, making it feel very oppressive.
Now that night has fallen, that oppressive feeling is naturally even stronger.
Although Ye Xuan didn't care about the daytime, he still had to be careful after nightfall.
He clearly sensed that as night fell, many of the monsters in the Devil Beast Mountain Range had begun to stir.
The roars of beasts echoed continuously, their terrifying howls reverberating throughout the entire Devil Beast Mountain Range, making it hum and buzz.
In many areas, low rumbling explosions could be heard, clearly indicating that demonic beasts were fighting each other.
In the world of monsters, the rules are more brutal than in the human world, and the hierarchy is much more distinct.
The law of the jungle, the killing and plundering, and monsters devouring each other—it's all too normal.
"This is not good. Once it gets dark, many demonic beasts will start hunting for food. We can't continue. We need to find a place to rest for the night."
Ye Xuan traveled another ten miles or so before he couldn't help but frown and stop.
He cautiously expanded his Absolute Domain, searching for a relatively safe position.
Soon, Ye Xuan saw a towering tree.
This towering tree is extremely thick.
It stands there like a pillar stabilizing the sea, its canopy blocking out the sky.
Ye Xuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the giant tree, and in a few flashes, he had already swiftly approached it.
He chose this giant tree not because its size would easily conceal his figure.
Rather, it was because somewhere on the thickest branch of this giant tree, he saw a python as thick as a water bucket.
This giant python was over twenty meters long, as thick as a tree branch, and remained motionless, looking quite terrifying.
It was extremely well hidden, and its body color was the same as the tree branch. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to spot it at all.
Ye Xuan sensed its aura through his Absolute Domain, which is how he realized something was wrong.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to tell with the naked eye that it is a large python.
"Let's go there. With that big beast around, he should be able to cover for me. There shouldn't be any danger."
"However, I cannot let it detect me, or I will be in danger."
Ye Xuan's eyes flashed, his Absolute Domain expanded to ten meters around him, and he did his best to conceal his aura.
He lightly tapped his feet on the ground, and with each tap, he leaped more than ten meters.
But strangely, it didn't make a sound at all.
Ye Xuan did not approach the giant tree from the front of the python, but instead circled around to a blind spot in its line of sight.
At this moment, Ye Xuan himself was unusually nervous.
He wasn't worried that the giant python would discover him and attack him.
He was worried that he might wake the giant python, thereby attracting even more powerful monsters.
Finally, a few minutes later, Ye Xuan silently approached the giant tree.
Unusually, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and even part of his clothes on the back were soaked with sweat.
Ye Xuan hadn't felt this way in a long time, and he himself found it quite unbelievable.
Because the python gave him the feeling that it was only at the Heavenly Position Realm level, Ye Xuan was absolutely capable of instantly killing a demonic beast of that level.
Was he so nervous simply because he was afraid of waking the other party and attracting more powerful monsters?
Ye Xuan also felt something was off.
Fortunately, after he approached the giant tree, the python did not make the slightest move, not even blinking.
This made Ye Xuan breathe a huge sigh of relief.
As the saying goes, skill breeds daring. Ye Xuan did not sit cross-legged under the tree to rest. Instead, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, leaped up silently, and flew up into the tree.
Hiding on the ground is the least reliable method; only by going up into the tree canopy and using the dense foliage for cover can one be less likely to be discovered.
Fortunately, the giant tree was thick enough, and its canopy blocked out the sun, so the python did not notice him.
When Ye Xuan found a good spot to hide himself, he finally couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh of relief.
At the same time, the python's tail also twitched unconsciously.
However, although Ye Xuan noticed this detail, he didn't pay it any mind.
