While moving on the southern continent, those who had yet to reach soul condensation had to avoid flying. Four feet above the ground, the miasma qi will feel extremely thick. Moreover with so many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts around, it would be much safer for them to remain above ground.
At this moment, there was only one path to take. Objects that looked like burning black wood lined up around the pathway. Most of the branches there have no leaves. However, another type of life seemed to flow within them.
As the five of them walked down the path, they tried to expand their divine consciousness as far as possible. From time to time, they would see one or two ferocious beasts lurking in the darkness and watch over the visitors coldly.
There seems to be no daylight in the forest and danger is always lurking around every corner.
The chaos forest contained several types of artifacts and hundreds of different types of plants. Most of the herbs had been taken by cultivators as well as foreign tribes because of their location at the end of the forest, where the danger level was relatively low. No doubt it would be very difficult for the five of them to find the medicinal ingredients they wanted.
Moreover, the medicinal ingredients that Yan Xu sought were not within the Chaos Forest. The medicinal ingredients were located deeper into the region.
As they walked, Yan Xu took out a map made of mature goat skin from his palm. He looked at the different marks made on the map, ascertaining the direction he should take later.
First, he had to find a good reason to leave the group. More importantly, he had to make sure Aunt Yueyin who was secretly following them in the sky would not come out to stop him.
After about an hour and a half, the forest became darker, a foul smell filling the surrounding air. A group of screaming insects and predators hiding in the darkness watched the five moving cultivators, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on prey.
In the bony swamps, there were seductive but poisonous flowers and fruits hanging on the tall trees also heard the sound of demonic spiders laughing viciously.
Some disciples of the Luo Immortal Sect were considered as skilled and courageous people. As time goes by, they walk faster and get used to their surroundings.
Yan Xu followed behind the four of them. At this moment, he was still far from where he had to change direction. Thus, he did not feel pressured to leave the group.
Suddenly they listened to the stifling roar of a savage beast. The roar of the poisonous insects was suddenly more noisy, as an aura of ferocious and evil energy surged towards them.
A ferocious beast could no longer hold back its hunger, the ferocious beast would attack them!
Wang Jia Li who was right in front of the group members immediately raised his hand to stop everyone moving forward. The sword on his back started to shake slightly.
Mo Li gently flicked his left arm and a few talismans flew around him. He looked like a gapless defense but it was obvious that the talisman was used to attack, not defend.
Just when the four people in front of him turned their attention to the black figure that rushed out of their right front forest, Yan Xu turned left. He took one step forward, stood behind Lin Qintian and said, "Be careful, on the left."
The moment Yan Xu finished speaking, a ten foot tall black figure leaped out from the forest right in front of them!
It was a white-skinned demonic mountain tiger with a black complexion, having two terrifying bone wings growing on its back. Its front claws flashed black with a dark green tip. The moment the tiger beast appeared, it jumped towards the four of them at once.
Mo Li shouted in a low voice, "Rush up, you came just to bring death upon yourself! Hmphh!" The talisman surrounding Mo Li moved past Wang Jia Li. A streak of black light shot out from the talismans like firing a needle-shaped energy bullet. That energy bullet headed all over the vital points of the demon tiger.
The bullet that had hit the vital point changed its shape from a small needle into an energy sword. As the demon tiger forced itself to make a move, its black blood spurted into the sky.
The body of the demon tiger was split into pieces through its vital point.
Right now, two black figures leaped out from the front left forest side and headed straight for Wang Jia Li and Bai Lien'er.
However, before his fire exploded, a fiery red figure flashed past him. The sword he had not wielded before slashed through the air. As the swords passed through them, the two demon tigers immediately flew backwards obediently like two huge punching sacks.
It was just one sword. No further movement. However, two demon tigers were already flying high in the sky. Two fiery red lotuses appeared on the bodies of those two demon tigers. They exploded to pieces until there was nothing left to be devoured by the red flames.
In the blink of an eye, there was nothing left of those two demon tigers.
Lin Qintian smiled awkwardly, pulled back the fire in his hand and stepped back.
Yan Xu's eyes became bright. 'Has Wang Jia Li already mastered the fire lotus technique like the main character in the novel I have read? Or maybe it was a technique from what they said was obtained from one of the top rank origin flames?'
Three demon tigers had been killed in the blink of an eye. The number of eyes fixed on the five disciples from within the darkness was reduced by half.
The five of them took their positions once again and continued on their way. Wang Jia Li and Mo Li quickened their steps slightly and the other three disciples followed easily.
Until a sign from several lanes appeared on the road, the group stopped at the same time.
Wang Jia Li turned around and said, "Senior, I will go in this direction to look for the phoenix birth fruit. According to the informants in the sect, they heard others find the fruit in this direction. Please take care of yourself and don't go too far."
Bai Lien'er also said that she was looking for medicinal ingredients and went the other way.
The group began to split. Naturally, Mo Li would remain with Wang Jia Li. He came specifically to help and protect her.
Lin Qintian left just to feel the experience in the outside world. At the same time, he agreed to help Bai Lien'er search for the medicinal ingredients she wanted.
So, the four of them turned to Yan Xu at once.
"I'm going to go here. I will part from all of you from now on, please remain cautious," Yan Xu said as he pointed in a completely different direction.
"Senior brother Yan Xu, what medicinal ingredients are you looking for?" wang Jia Li asked.
"It's not comfortable for me to say it. There is no need to worry about me," Yan Xu replied seriously.
Mo Li tried to persuade her, "Senior Brother Yan, why not go with Senior Brother Bai—"
Before Mo Li finished speaking, Yan Xu took one step towards the path he had chosen. He used a simple version of the soul pursuit technique that did not use much qi energy to leave only his shadow in the starting position.
"It's rude, he just left without seeing our good intentions," Bai Lien'er murmured angrily and shook her head slowly.
Mo Li and Lin Qintian shook their heads as well. They thought that this Yan Xu was just being arrogant to prove that he was capable of surpassing the other disciples.
On the other hand, Wang Jia Li seemed to have a thought in his mind. He turned around and started walking on the path he had already chosen. The back view with the sword on the back looks a little shaky even for a moment but soon back solid without anyone realizing it.
