Your Majesty, you don’t want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 174

The next morning.

Elder Leng set off early with Li Yunshu and others.

After leaving the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, Elder Leng threw out a jade wine gourd.

The gourd turned into a large gourd about fifty meters long in mid-air.

Eleven people got on the big gourd. Elder Leng's spiritual energy circulated, and the big gourd flew into the air with a whooshing sound.

More than a hundred miles south of Ten Thousand Beasts City, you will reach the outskirts of the Hidden Forest.

Longyuan Continent is divided into four regions: East, West, North and South. The Hidden Forest is located at the border of the Western Region and the Southern Region.

It is the largest forest in Longyuan Continent and contains countless ferocious beasts.

Practitioners divide ferocious beasts into four levels: ordinary ferocious beasts, Xuanming beasts, earth-extreme beasts, and Tianyuan beasts according to their level of cultivation.

The outer edges of the Hidden Forest are filled with low-level ordinary beasts. Only when you enter the depths of the forest will you encounter high-level beasts.

Arriving at the Hidden Forest, Elder Leng controlled the gourd to land on the ground.

Everyone got off the big gourd and stood in a row.

The big gourd instantly became the size of a jade pendant and was hung around his waist by Elder Leng.

Looking at the ten people in front of her, she said seriously.

“You can just hunt the ferocious beasts on the outskirts of the Hidden Forest, but don’t go deep into the forest.

This experience lasts for three days, and everyone will return at dusk after three days.

If you encounter danger that is difficult to deal with, just crush the jade token I gave you last night, and I will rush to you as soon as possible.

However, even if you fail the experience, one month's monthly payment will be deducted when you return to the sect.

I know that among you, the gamers come here for the secret realm of the underground palace. I advise you to give up that idea.

Once you exceed the outer limits of the Hidden Forest and enter the depths, I will no longer be responsible for your safety.

understand? "

Li Yunshu and others raised their hands in unison and said, "Disciple understands."

"Okay, you go in."

Ten people divided into four groups in twos and threes and entered the forest.

Nine of the ten disciples are in the Mysterious Fate Realm, and Li Yunshu, who is at the first level of the Mysterious Fate Realm, is considered to be at the lowest level among these nine.

"Elder brother, can we come with you?"

The two walked up to Li Yunshu and asked.

Li Yunshu knew both of these two people. One was named Mo Li, who was at the first level of the Mysterious Ming Realm, and the other was named Fei Liao, who was at the ninth level of the Fish-Dragon Realm, which was the lowest among the ten.

People with high realms get together with those with high realms, and they will not bring those with low realms together, so they have no choice but to find Li Yunshu to join forces.

Li Yunshu said: "Okay, the three of us can take care of each other together."

Nangong Chu met him at the fortune-telling stall last night, but he didn't believe it was a chance encounter.

If Nangong Chu wants to harm him, the Hidden Forest is undoubtedly a good place, so it can bring two people together and it will be safer.

These two people were in a similar realm to him, so even if they had any problems, he could handle them.

"The battle between Senior Brother and He Yiming really opened our eyes."

"Hehe, that's right. Although Senior Brother is at the first level of the Mysterious Life Realm, his strength must be comparable to the third level of the Mysterious Life Realm."

Li Yunshu smiled and said nothing. He had heard this kind of business flattery too often.

"What is your goal in coming to the Hidden Forest this time?"

Fei Liao said: "I need the soul crystal of a fire salamander to be smelted on my fire soul sword. The power will be greatly increased."

Mo Li on the side looked around and whispered.

"Presumably Senior Brother has also heard about the secret realm of the underground palace. I just came to try my luck."

The Mo family is the richest man in Tianshui City in the Western Region, and he does not lack ordinary cultivation resources.

"Elder brother, are you also here to find the secret realm of the underground palace?"

"I want to find Lei Lingying's soul crystal and smelt it into my thunder blade."

Li Yunshu had another little plan but didn't say it out loud.

After the news of the secret realm of the underground palace spreads, there will definitely be many practitioners in the hidden forest, and they may be able to absorb some of the demonic energy here.

Since he entered the Hidden Forest, he has encountered many practitioners looking for the secret realm of the underground palace, but none of them practiced magic.

These people are not at a very high level. In fact, they have no idea where the secret realm of the underground palace is.

Most of them come with a luck mentality.

Fei Liao interjected: "Then we have to go into the hidden forest. The eighth-level ferocious beast is definitely not outside the forest."

Mo Li put his arms around Fei Liao's neck and said.

"Don't worry, as long as the three of us don't go too deep, the eighth-level ferocious beast can be easily captured."

Fei Liao agreed without hesitation. His Fire Soul Sword needed to smelt an eighth or ninth level ordinary ferocious beast soul crystal.

Then he would be able to fight against a practitioner at the first level of the Mysterious Life Realm.

The three of them headed south, heading deep into the forest.

As soon as the three of them left the outskirts of the Hidden Forest, they encountered an eighth-level ferocious beast.

Roar--

This is a magma giant ground sloth. It is 6 meters long and can stand up like a human.

Li Yunshu and the others entered its territory, which undoubtedly offended it.

The Magma Ground Sloth usually moves very slowly, but when it encounters danger, it will change its usual laziness.

It roared again thinking about the three uninvited guests who invaded its territory.

At the same time, six-inch-long sharp claws protruded from the broad palms like bear paws.

Its eyes turned into scarlet eyes, and its palms slapped the ground violently, startling countless birds.

Fei Liao took the lead with the Fire Soul Sword in his hand.

"You two senior brothers don't need to take action, just let me do it."

This eighth-level ferocious beast was just right for him to practice his skills.

The three people on the left and right were not in a hurry. Li Yunshu and Mo Li stood aside to prepare for Fei Liao.

The Fire Soul Sword in Fei Liao's hand emitted red light, and the Fire Soul Sword drew a cross in the air.

Two pillars of blood shot out from the magma ground sloth's chest, but they only hurt its fur, not its muscles and bones.

These two swords completely angered the magma sloth. It ran towards Fei Liao and slapped him on the head with its sharp claws.

Drink——

Fei Liao exploded with all the spiritual power of the ninth level of the Fish-Dragon Realm, and the Fire Soul Sword suddenly shone brightly.

The magma sloth's sharp claws collided with the Fire Soul Sword, making a metallic friction sound.

Suddenly, the magma sloth stood up and clapped its other paw.

Fei Liao was shocked and quickly activated his spiritual energy to form a protective shield around his body.

With a bang, the protective shield shattered, and Fei Liao was sent flying out.

The magma earth slapped the ground with both palms, and the ground exploded.

A stream of magma emerged from the ground, targeting Fei Liao in mid-air.

Fei Liao had already closed his killing eyes. He did not expect that this vicious beast had such an attack method. He could not avoid this blow.

"Like a shadow."

Li Yunshu disappeared on the spot and appeared next to Fei Liao in an instant.

boom--

The magma rushed into the sky, and Li Yunshu hugged Fei Liao and passed by the magma.

"One thunderbolt flashes, two consecutive slashes."

Li Yunshu unsheathed his long sword, and the two air blades quickly crashed into the chest of the magma sloth.

Roar, the magma ground sloth let out an unwilling roar and fell to the ground.

Fei Liao quickly bowed and said: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for saving my life."

Li Yunshu returned the sword to its sheath and said, "As long as you're fine, quickly get its soul crystal and let's continue on our way."

Fei Liao quickly waved his hand: "This is the beast you killed, senior brother, and the soul crystal should belong to you."

Mo Li took out the soul crystal from the magma sloth's chest and stuffed it into Fei Liao's hand.

"If Senior Brother says it's for you, just take it. If you continue to push it away, it will almost get dark."

Fei Liao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, senior brother." Just after the three people left, three people appeared next to the body of the magma sloth.

"Second brother, the person we want to kill is the boy in the middle."

"When shall we do it?"

"Wait a moment, they have an elder from the fifth level of the Earth Realm who is guarding the perimeter of the forest. We will take action after they go deeper."

"it is good."

Halfway through, Fei Liao suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

Li Yunshu and Mo Li asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Fei Liao pointed to the footprints on the ground.

"You see there are a lot of fire salamander footprints here. Fire salamanders like to live in groups. There must be very fire salamander caves nearby."

Mo Li looked around and said, "We can't go directly into the fire salamander's lair. There might be a fire salamander at the level of the Mysterious Life Beast inside."

"No, my master has already asked me to think of a solution before I come here."

Fei Liao took out a small white porcelain bottle, the mouth of which was tightly plugged with a stopper.

Li Yunshu and Mo Li asked at the same time: "What is this?"

"This is the beast-attracting fluid refined by my master using the Sun Eclipse Taisui Toad. This stuff has a huge allure to fire salamanders.

Fire salamanders have a very sensitive sense of smell, and they will definitely come over if they smell the scent of animal fluid.

Because the toad saliva of the Eclipse Sun Toad is added to it, even if the fire salamander eats a drop, it will detonate the flames in its body and spontaneously combust to death. "

"Then do it quickly."

Fei Liao uncorked the white porcelain bottle and pointed the mouth of the bottle at a Welwitschia plant on the ground.

A drop of pink liquid flows out of the bottle and falls on the wide leaves of the Welwitschia.

The three of them quickly retreated and hid far away, waiting for the fire salamander to take the bait.

Within a moment, the baby fire salamander, which was about one meter long, crawled over.

Fei Liao said excitedly: "I didn't expect that even a cub of a fire salamander has reached the eighth level."

At this time, the fire salamander had crawled in front of the Welwitschia, and it looked around cautiously.

After confirming that there was no danger, he stuck out his long pink tongue.

Suck.

The drop of animal fluid was rolled into its mouth.

The fire salamander clicked contentedly, then turned around to return to his cave.

Before taking two steps, its body suddenly curled up and its skin began to turn red.

Then Li Yunshu and the others heard the strange cry of the fire salamander.

Wooparupa——

Flames began to appear all over the fire salamander, but within a short time, only a pile of skeletons were burned.

Fei Liao stepped forward and found the soul crystal of the fire salamander in the ashes.

He muttered: "Although it is an eighth-level soul crystal, mosquito meat is still meat."

Li Yunshu suddenly thought of a question.

The fire salamander was obviously a cub in size, so it was already an eighth-level ferocious beast, so its mother was probably a high-level Xuanming Beast or even an Earthly Beast.

Plus that strange cry just now...

"Quickly, the mother of this fire salamander must be a high-level Xuanming beast. Its cry just now is probably calling its mother."

Mo Li and Fei Liao broke into cold sweats when they heard this.

The high-level Xuanming Beast is not something the three of them can mess with.

The eighth-level soul crystal has been obtained, and Fei Liao's purpose of this trip has been completed.

The three of them quickly prepared to leave.

"Where are you three going?"

Fei Liao looked at the three people in front of him warily.

"Who are you?"

Among them, the tall and thin man with a mustache said.

"We brothers will never change our names in business, Li Er."

The black bear-like man next to Li Er said in a loud voice: "Zhang San."

The last bald man holding a sledgehammer said with bared teeth: "Zhao Si!"

The three of them knew at a glance that the person coming was evil. Li Er was at the ninth level of the Mysterious Life Realm, and Zhang San and Zhao Si were both at the sixth level of the Mysterious Life Realm.

If you pick one out at random, Li Yunshu and the three of them can't beat him together.

Li Yunshu took out his sword and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Zhao Si hit the ground with the sledgehammer in his hand, making a big hole.

"Someone is offering you a high price for your life."

Li Yunshu frowned, he was careless after all, he didn't expect to use all the tricks of hiring a killer.

Mo Li said: "Whatever price your employer offers, I will pay double, how about you just give up?"

Zhao Si touched his bald head and said.

"Second brother, now we are rich. I didn't expect there was a big fish."

"I am from the Mo family in Tianshui City. If you touch me, you'd better consider the consequences."

Li Yunshu wished she could cover Mo Li's mouth. Even if he killed you, how would the Mo family know who did it?

"Haha, boy, if the three of you die here, no one will know that it was us.

I want the spiritual stone on you, and I also want the spiritual stone of my employer. "

Fei Liao had already quietly taken out the jade token given by Elder Leng.

Li Er looked at the big knife in his hand and said.

"I know your elder is on the outskirts of this hidden forest. Do you think I can kill the three of you before she comes?"

After hearing this, Fei Liao moved a step to the side, further away from Li Yunshu who was standing in the middle.

he said shakily.

"Brothers, the person you want to kill is him. He has nothing to do with me. Just let me go. I will give you all the spiritual stones on my body."

Mo Li frowned and said, "Junior Brother Fei, what are you doing?"

Fei Liao said: "What do I do? I just want to survive. Do you want me to die here with him?"

"Elder brother just saved your life."

"So what, I've already thanked him for saving his life. I don't want to be buried with him without knowing it."

Mo Li wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Li Yunshu.

"Junior Brother Mo, there's no need to say any more. Good words can't persuade a damn ghost."

Li Yunshu had seen this kind of person so often that he was already used to it.

Mo Li snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Li Er waved.

"come here."

Fei Liao walked up to Li Er with three trembling steps.

"Brother, please let me go, I promise I won't tell anyone."

Li Er patted Fei Liao on the shoulder and said, "I can let you go, but you must keep this matter a secret for me forever."

Fei Liao nodded quickly and said: "Always keep it secret."

"Let's go."

Fei Liao quickly bowed and said: "Thank you, I didn't see anything today."

Looking at Fei Liao who had taken five steps, Li Er winked at Zhao Si.

Li Yunshu did not remind Fei Liao at all. He could have lived, but he chose death.

Zhao Si bared his teeth, turned around, rounded the sledgehammer, and smashed it out.

It was too late when Fei Liao turned around when he heard the sound, and a sledgehammer bigger than his head was hit on his head.

puff--

His whole head was smashed into his chest.
