The vastness of the Xilin Mountain Range far exceeded Xiao Yan's expectations. Even at his speed, after a week, he was still only traveling on the outer edge of the Xilin Mountain Range. Now, it has been almost a month since Xiao Yan entered the Xilin Mountain Range.
Even at the speed of Half-Emperor, it would take more than half a month of flying to reach the depths of the Xilin Mountain Range. From this, it is not hard to imagine just how vast the Xilin Mountain Range are.
Somewhere in the Xilin Mountain Range, Xiao Yan was walking slowly through the forest. At the same time, a vast and terrifying Spiritual Strength emanated from between his brows, carefully probing the area covered by the Spiritual Strength.
Xiao Yan wanted to try his luck and see if he could find what he was looking for somewhere in the forest.
However, opportunities don't seem to come as easily as Xiao Yan Xiao Yan imagined. Despite his extensive search, he unfortunately found nothing.
Xiao Yan, who was wandering aimlessly through the forest, shook his head helplessly, sighed softly, and was about to withdraw the Spiritual Strength that had spread out.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. Just a moment ago, he had sensed an extremely hot and violent aura.
Xiao Yan would never mistake that energy; it was the power emitted by a fire-attribute energy crystal.
And this is precisely what Xiao Yan has been searching for with all his might.
"Phew... all my hard work in searching was worth it!"
Xiao Yan laughed with delight, then moved swiftly, unleashing the Heavenly Severing Steps. A gentle breeze swept by, and Xiao Yan's body transformed into a gust of wind, rapidly flying towards the source of the aura.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, somewhere in the mountains and forests, a huge magical beast slammed a middle-aged man into the air with a single claw. The sharp claws tore apart the man's Dou Qi Armor with overwhelming force, leaving several scarlet claw marks on his body.
The middle-aged man's body was also sent flying uncontrollably, like a deflated balloon. After smashing through dozens of towering ancient trees, he collapsed to the ground covered in blood, his body already in a state of severe injury. If he did not receive timely medical treatment, his life would likely be in danger.
" Uncle Ge!"
In the void, a beautiful young girl saw this scene, and the expression on her pretty face was instantly replaced by horror. Her originally rosy face quickly turned pale, and her beautiful eyes were filled with crystal tears.
The Uncle Ge the girl mentioned was the strongest among their group at the moment. Seeing that even he was no match for the monster in front of them, it wasn't hard to imagine what would become of the rest of them.
As soon as the girl's scream faded, the others in the void immediately turned their gazes to the middle-aged man below who was already severely injured. Their expressions changed instantly, and fear appeared on everyone's faces. Facing the giant beast before them, none of them could possibly be its match.
"Roar! Humans, how dare you disturb my rest! Today, none of you will leave here alive!"
The enormous beast, resembling a small mountain, let out a low roar, then raised its sharp claws once more and swung them fiercely, easily tearing the void beneath them.
A terrifying gust of wind shot through the air like sharp blades, and the ear-piercing sonic booms were unbearable. The people in the void were filled with terror, and the weapons in their hands trembled uncontrollably.
" Shui'er! Run away!"
In the forest below, the heavily injured Uncle Ge desperately propped himself up and screamed hysterically at the girl in the sky, hoping she could dodge the monster's attack, which was like the Grim Reaper's scythe.
However, faced with Uncle Ge's desperate roar, although the others quickly dodged away, only the girl was filled with fear, her mind went blank, and she was completely at a loss. Her delicate body trembled violently, and she slowly curled up and burst into tears in the void.
At this moment, even if those in the void wanted to save her, it was too late. A terrifying gust of wind had already descended upon the young woman's head, and her death was imminent. No one present could avert this inevitable demise.
" Shui'er!"
On the ground, Uncle Ge, severely injured, desperately tried to get up and fly into the sky again, but he was too badly wounded to do anything about it.
At the same time, in the sky above, the enormous beast claw, carrying a terrifying aura that seemed to tear through the void, was fiercely clawing down at the girl.
The next moment, as everyone bowed their heads in sorrow, and as the middle-aged man on the ground shed tears of heartache, a gentle breeze suddenly swept across the world.
A gentle breeze swept by, and at the same time, the girl who was curled up in the void and wailing was lifted up by a mysterious force, and then, the moment the beast's claws fell, she appeared in the void a hundred feet away.
"Who goes there! Show yourself to me!"
Seeing its prey rescued, the giant beast once again spoke in human language, angrily shouting in the direction of the girl.
"Heh, you're supposed to be Half-Emperor level magical beast, yet you still dared to try and kill several Dou Zong Dou Zun. You really have a thick skin!"
As the soft laughter rang out, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the scene. When they saw that the girl was unharmed, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially the middle-aged man who was already seriously injured, after seeing that the girl was safe and sound, the despair in his eyes was greatly reduced.
Then, when everyone saw the black-robed man slowly emerge from the void, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
They never imagined that the person who saved Shui'er would be such a young-looking man.
"Hmph, who are you to meddle here!"
Upon seeing Xiao Yan, the demonic beast immediately recognized his extraordinary strength, stating that he was a Half-Emperor level expert. Therefore, it dared not speak as arrogantly as it had when facing the previous individuals.
"Hehe, I'm just an unknown nobody. I just felt bad seeing a Half-Emperor like you bullying so many people who are no match for you, so I took action."
Xiao Yan spoke calmly and indifferently.
