As she battled the ferocious beast amidst the mountains, Luo Huayu's nostrils twitched slightly, and she caught a peculiar fragrance in the flowing water.
It truly is Immortal Ginseng!
Even someone as reserved as her couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart when she smelled this fragrance.
That was a pill powerful enough to allow him to break through to a higher realm.
He has been stuck at the Immortal Realm realm for many years, even though he is the master of a Daoist temple.
Luo Huayu still harbored an instinctive longing for the Twofold Immortal Realm.
When he obtained the pill formula at the Golden Splendor Dao Field, his heart, which had been separated from the blessed land for so long, surprisingly began to stir with a sense of calm.
The Immortal Ginseng was right in front of them, and its rich aroma was intoxicating.
Luo Huayu's subtle expressions couldn't be hidden in Luo Ning's eyes. Luo Ning was fighting nearby, immediately said to his senior sister:
"Senior sister, go ahead and gather the Immortal Ginseng! We'll hold off these high-level ferocious beasts at the foot of the mountain!"
Before Luo Ning could finish speaking, a shrill scream suddenly rang out from the mountainside.
The owner of that voice seemed to be enduring a brutal torture, like being dismembered; the screams were chilling to the bone.
After a stream of black water surged out from between the mountains, Luo Huayu and Luo Ning's eyes flashed simultaneously.
A familiar figure struggled in that mass of Blackwater.
Seeing the struggling figure clad in brocade robes, Luo Ning's heart sank.
The person struggling and screaming was none other than Luo Yin, who had left earlier!
The fact that Luo Yin appeared in this Blackwater at this moment proved that his previous plan had failed and that he had also suffered losses.
Upon seeing Luo Yin appear enveloped in the Blackwater, Luo Ning, who was present, was about to rush to his rescue.
But the senior sister, Qiang, suddenly spoke up to stop Luo Ning.
"Stop! That's the prey of Green-Headed Catfish. This creature is originally aquatic, but it can also survive on land."
When water is scarce, they plunge into the silt and bury themselves completely, returning to the seabed when the water rises the following year.
Over time, it developed its skills in the mud. The Blackwater was what the Green-Headed Catfish ate, a mixture of mud and human and animal matter that it had devoured over countless years.
If one is not careful, one will get stuck in the mud and be unable to extricate oneself. Luo Yin... is already practically dead!
Seeing his senior sister speak in such a chilling tone, Luo Ning felt a chill rise in his heart.
The Blackwater was actually formed from silt, and countless maggots and human bones were writhing within it.
Although this Green-Headed Catfish has a serrated mouth, its favorite thing is to devour humans and animals and then let the mud in its belly digest them.
Once swept into that muddy Blackwater, if one cannot struggle free in time...
The countless maggots and other filthy creatures within will gradually decompose humans and animals.
At this moment, Luo Yin was screaming in agony, but in reality, he was already dead.
He could only scream helplessly amidst the excruciating pain and fear.
Luo Ning probed with his True Spirit and, as expected, no longer sensed any spiritual energy in Luo Yin's eyes.
All that remains is endless numbness and emptiness.
Seeing that the Green-Headed Catfish was using such disgusting methods to deal with cultivators was astonishing.
The disciples present all felt a sense of sorrow, like the loss of a rabbit to a fox, or the pain of losing something of the same kind.
Remembering what Luo Ning had said earlier, that they should defend against the ferocious beasts.
The cultivators present no longer had any objections and all showed a shared sense of hatred and indignation.
Unlike other sects, the disciples of Luo Water are actually all relatives, whether near or far.
Seeing their relatives being brutally dismembered and killed by ferocious beasts naturally fueled thoughts of revenge.
Seeing that the morale of the crowd was good, the senior sister at the front nodded slightly.
A red ribbon unfurled before him, and with a swift movement, he was outside the ferocious beasts.
A red ribbon easily traversed the mountain range, its outline on the water resembling a bolt of silk, dazzling the eye as it stretched across the bottom.
In just a Kung Fu Hustle, the senior sister arrived at the direction where the medicinal fragrance was strong.
But at that moment, Luo Huayu noticed a mass of Blackwater slowly approaching from behind.
The Blackwater beside him, like a persistent, insidious disease, devoured Luo Yin and then turned towards him.
Luo Huayu, nestled among the mountains, paused, and the red ribbon she had shot out unfurled once more in the air.
Suddenly, a magnificent waterfall surged up from the seabed, and the red ribbons unfurled like a waterfall, instantly enveloping the Blackwater below.
At this moment, somewhere among the mountains, the enormous catfish finally began to appear.
Its long whiskers trembled slightly on either side of its massive mouth, and fine scales covered its entire body.
Several powerful pelvic fins sprout from its belly to paddle, and its black mucus body is somewhat disgusting.
At that moment, its tiny eyeballs, hidden beneath its iris, darted around.
The Green-Headed Catfish actually abandoned its fierce battle with the cultivators at the bottom of the mountain and instead followed the water flow to the middle of the mountain.
As the red ribbon unfurled, enveloping its Blackwater, the Green-Headed Catfish showed not a trace of panic.
Its strength is also at the Half-Step Golden Immortal realm, and this Immortal Ginseng is something it must obtain.
But as it followed King Yuanyuan for a long time, its wisdom also grew considerably.
When faced with an attack from cultivators, they do not fight to the death like other ferocious beasts, but instead hide in the shadows.
They would occasionally ambush a lone cultivator from behind. Although they were all there to seize the Immortal Ginseng, the other ferocious beasts were all seriously injured in the fierce battle.
But this guy actually increased his own strength by devouring cultivators.
Seeing that all the cultivators who were supposed to come had arrived, the Green-Headed Catfish emerged from the mud and sand between the mountains.
Its small eyes darted around as it watched Luo Huayu unleash the red ribbon, a hint of mockery lurking behind its gaze.
It seems that King Yuanyuan was right after all; cultivators are most adept at killing each other!
Not long after the Green-Headed Catfish appeared, Luo Huayu, nestled among the mountains, immediately sensed something was amiss.
Hidden among these mountains are Green-Headed Catfish; why don't they go directly to the Immortal Ginseng's habitat?
Could it be that the Green-Headed Catfish is hiding here because there are other hidden dangers lurking in the mountains?
Thinking of this fellow's character, a sense of foreboding flashed through Luo Huayu's mind.
Suddenly, within the red silk covering him, he turned around abruptly, no longer heading towards the mountainside, but instead reversing his movement and heading towards the Blackwater within the red silk.
Sure enough, the instant he turned around, a deep, furious roar erupted from the mountainside:
roar!
A roar suddenly exploded between the mountains, the rolling sound waves causing the water to distort.
The crowd below was shaken by the roar, but the Green-Headed Catfish nestled among the mountains was unharmed.
Being a ferocious beast, it was essentially immune to this roar.
At that moment, a huge figure appeared where Luo Huayu had just been standing, following a roar.
This figure, supporting the sky and supporting the earth, with mountains behind and seas on its feet, resembled a god or demon.
It exuded an extremely violent aura when it appeared on the field.
"Gibbon Beast, you are He Huaiying of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge!"
Upon seeing the back of that ferocious beast, Luo Huayu couldn't help but cry out from inside the red silk.
The one lying in ambush among the mountains was none other than He Huaiying from before.
At this moment, he had already released his companion beast, the gibbon.
Luo Huayu's expression froze in that moment, and she silently cried out in her heart:
That thief is treacherous!
"Hmph! I didn't expect the Lord of Jinhua to still remember me!"
He Huaiying sneered behind the gibbon, but her eyes kept glancing behind her out of the corner of her eye.
He kept a close eye on the condition of the Immortal Ginseng at all times.
"How could I not know you? Everyone knows that He Huaibao a core disciple of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, but how could anyone know that you, He Huaiying, are also a unique talent of the sect?"
You've been lying in ambush here, aren't you? It's for the Immortal Ginseng behind you, isn't it?
Seeing that Luo Huayu had exposed his plan on the spot, He Huaiying on the other side did not react at all, but a sinister look appeared in his eyes.
We're all seasoned foxes, so let's not talk about Immortal Ginseng.
He Huaiying was lying in ambush here, then how could Luo Huayu, who trespassed into the Beast King's territory, be considered a good person?
"Enough with the nonsense, let me see just what the Lord of Jinhua is capable of!"
He Huaiying clearly didn't want to engage in a war of words with Luo Huayu. As soon as she finished speaking, the gibbon that appeared in the arena suddenly leaped up.
It was as if it had coiled its enormous body in the water, heading straight for the Luo Huayu behind the red ribbon.
Luo Huayu, on the other side, sighed inwardly: What a pity!
The original plan was to wait until Luo Ning and the others had dealt with a few ferocious beasts before joining forces to deal with this guy.
But to his surprise, this fellow was so eager that he ignored Luo Huayu's flattery and directly urged the ferocious beast to take her life.
Seeing the two fighting fiercely in the arena, the Green-Headed Catfish between the mountains stopped its abdominal movements.
The Blackwater within the red silk also stopped condensing, which was undoubtedly fortunate for Luo Huayu.
But she also knew that this fierce catfish was extremely intelligent, and that it was only letting her go now because it wanted to take advantage of her after her battle with He Huaiying.
The Green-Headed Catfish's actions caused He Huaiying to frown. After the gibbon was propelled into action, the killing intent in He Huaiying's eyes grew even more intense.
The fragrance wafted beyond the mountain's edge, yet the Beast King hidden in the waters had not yet revealed itself.
At this moment, the battle against Luo Huayu amidst the mountains must be fought quickly!
On the other side, Luo Huayu was also anxious, as she was well aware of He Huaiying's strength.
But it was only during the fierce battle on the field today that she truly understood what a unique skill was.
The cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge were already at the Late-stage Mystic Immortal, and now, with the assistance of high-level ferocious beasts and the menacing Green-Headed Catfish behind them, they were even more formidable.
As the spirit's mature aura emanated, Luo Huayu was constantly worried that this fellow would swallow her whole.
Caught between two attacks from both sides, Luo Huayu's situation on the field became somewhat difficult.
Meanwhile, more ferocious beasts began to slowly emerge from the mountains behind them.
For cultivators, it's an opportunity; for aquatic beasts, it's a feast.
As if summoned, the low-level ferocious beasts nestled among the mountains roamed from various parts of the water.
The disciples of Luo River Valley and the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge were immediately caught in a fierce battle.
Although the Beast King of the waters did not appear, the large number of low-level ferocious beasts that were patrolling around at this time had already indicated the Beast King's attitude.
If the people hadn't been able to harvest the Immortal Ginseng before the ferocious beasts took over the mountain, they would have perished in the mouths of countless beasts.
Amidst the multitude of low-level ferocious beasts, a streak of blue smoke was rapidly passing by.
The low-level ferocious beasts behind them scattered, and the blue mist never lingered from the water to the mountain range.
A straight passage was carved out from among the myriad ferocious aquatic creatures.
The wisp of blue smoke, along with the ferocious beast, surrounded them, becoming increasingly visible to the disciples of Luo River Valley...
Xu Long slowly exhaled amidst the mountain scenery, and the Celestial Phenomenon above his head gradually disappeared.
The blocked meridians in his body were finally cleared, and his disordered Magic Power was restored to its peak state.
At this moment, a large number of low-level ferocious beasts gathered from the outside, and this imposing force made Xu Long wary.
It seems the cultivators in the waters are acting too Wuji, causing the Beast King to grow somewhat impatient.
However, this spiritual essence is not yet mature, so the Beast King will not interfere too much in the struggle between cultivators and ferocious beasts.
It possesses profound wisdom and rarely concern itself with trivial matters within the water.
On one hand, it seeks the Great Dao; on the other hand, it fears what lies beneath the sea, something that even the supreme Beast King dreads.
At this moment, a large number of low-level ferocious beasts surged in, forming a small-scale beast tide.
The situation should still be within the Beast King's tolerance level.
Xu Long considered the situation carefully. He needed to act quickly and not truly anger the Beast King.
After a flash of deathly white light appeared in his left eye, he scanned the mountainside and finally spotted the blue-robed cultivator in one spot.
The source of the fragrance was not far behind the blue-robed monk.
Xu Long's heart skipped a beat; this matter should be handled as soon as possible.
Suddenly, the otaku on the mountain transformed into a streak of light, swiftly leaping up in the direction of the fragrance.
When Xu Long attacked the location where the Immortal Ginseng grew, the great battle in the area was already nearing its end.
Luo Huayu, caught between the Green-Headed Catfish and the He Huaiying, could not withstand the attack for long.
At this moment, he was only relying on his agility to dodge the gibbon's attacks.
On the other side, He Huaiying had a murderous look on his face, and the Magic Power within his body surged like a torrent.
The copper rings between the joints seemed to be constantly turning, giving the ancient copper rings an extraordinary and mysterious appearance.
The aura emanating from it firmly suppressed the small flower between Luo Huayu's eyebrows.
As his momentum grew, the gibbon's imposing presence also became much more formidable.
Watching the two engage in a fierce battle, the Green-Headed Catfish would occasionally add fuel to the fire.
Its small eyes were even more slick than a cultivator's, and it looked at Luo Huayu, who was already somewhat overwhelmed.
The little eyes of the Green-Headed Catfish darted around, making a human-like expression.
The seawater continued to gush out from between her abdomens, enveloping Luo Huayu's body once again.
In the center of the Blackwater, Luo Huayu suddenly felt her body become much heavier.
It's like being stuck in a quagmire, with no way to get out.
Only when True Spirit probed out did he realize that it was that vicious catfish that was behind the trouble.
The Immortal Ginseng is about to mature, and it seems even this cunning old fox can't resist the urge.
The Green-Headed Catfish behind it trembled, the medicinal scent almost fatal to it.
After enduring for so long, it is finally going to take matters into its own hands and end this battle.
Let the spirit that made a great king ultimately fall into his own mouth.
Luo Huayu found it increasingly difficult between the Blackwater, while He Huaiying on the opposite side seemed to have seen through the thoughts of the opportunistic catfish.
Probing its True Spirit, the gibbon leaped into the air.
The gibbon clasped its hands together above its head, its clenched fists like iron hammers, and slammed down on Luo Huayu below.
