Chaptre 42. The Nine-Tailed Phoenix Bird.

Just a thousand meters away, Zhi Shimo and his team heard the sound of bird screeching and the hissing of snakes. Zhi Shimo immediately jumped onto the tree trunk and was followed by Yuna Aurora and her team.

Zhi Shimo deliberately did not walk on the ground because every step could be felt by a mystical beast. Led by Zhi Shimo who leapt from tree trunk to other trees agilely, then followed by his team.

Then, while close to the location of the source of the commotion sound, Zhi Shimo stopped at the trunk of a large tree, when looking at the two nine-tailed Phoenix Magma-type mystic beasts and the Five-headed Cobra Snake fighting fiercely, this was like the fight of two air and land lords.

Everyone also stopped and was shocked with fear when they saw the two mystic beasts fighting on the vast land.

The two things that made the demon hunter fear the two mystic beasts; his strength was at the level of the Celestial Immortal, he said, phoenix excels in the air and has a hot fire and Snake excels in terms of deadly poison and is able to blind the eyes of opponents.

"The danger!!" the cry of all those who recognized the two mystic beasts.

"We're just going back... A new unlucky day here has already met them!" invite the frightened Xu Huang with the two mystic beasts, beasts that the demon hunters always avoid.

In contrast to Zhi Shimo and Yuna Aurora who were not afraid of the two beasts. Then Zhi Shimo looked back and was surprised when the path had turned into a forest.

"Can't go back ... Look behind you!" sahut Zhi Shimo and again saw the fight of two mystical beasts.

Everyone looked back and was shocked, and then there was the sound of heavy breathing. Then, everyone again saw the fight of the two mystic beasts.

"What should we do? If they stay here, they'll know where we are!" yusan asked Zhi Shimo and Yuna Aurora.

Zhi Shimo paused for a moment to think of how to deal with the two mystic beasts, he actually wanted to give his team a protection ring, yet he was worried that it would be known to the Tianwu Conference overseers, he actually wanted to give his team a protection ring, but he was worried that it would be known to the Tianwu Conference supervisors, because to make a protection ring requires a Smelting expert to have the power of the Ancient God (Celestial Supreme) level. And, the new Zhi Shimo has the power of the Crossing Tribulation, it was clear he would be disqualified from the Tianwu Conference who had cheated.

Wanting to insert his team into the dimensional ring, but Zhi Shimo also did not dare to be outside. Had they been inside the room, Zhi Shimo would not have hesitated to insert his team into the dimensional ring.

There was only one way to avoid the two mystic beasts, which was to create a Protection Formation. However, Zhi Shimo decided to take his team up against them together, as this was also good for training cohesiveness and honing fighting skills.

"Does the Fire of the Universe overcome them?" zhi Shimo asked Yuna Aurora before setting up a strategy.

Yuna Aurora shook her head, then she explained, "The fire of the Universe is indeed superior to all fire, but if the opponent is two levels stronger it will have no effect."

Yes, what Yuna Aurora said was indeed true, it was true for all kinds of flames in the universe. The lower the rank of the fire type, the less effect it had on the stronger opponent. Whereas Yuna Aurora only had the power of the Crossing Tribulation and both mystic beasts were at the Celestial God level.

After a cultivator underwent the Lightning Tribulation, he would break through to the Eternal World Cultivation Stage, where it was divided into six tiers; the Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, etc, Great Principle Golden Immortal and Supreme Immortal. Each level must pass one level to ten levels to break through to the next level.

Zhi Shimo nodded in understanding, then he saw a team of sixteen, including himself.

"We will fight them after one of the two beasts loses. Now it's... You pair up and separate yourself with a distance of three meters between us." Zhi Shimo pinta and took out fifteen Formation flags, then distributed the flag to his team, each person one flag.

"The flag of this Formation will protect you three times if there is a surprise attack, flow spiritual energy into it and slip it on your waist or back...," he added and briefly explained the usefulness of the Formation flag.

It was with great pleasure that everyone accepted it, then channeled spiritual energy into the Formation flag. The Formation Flag let out a slight glow, then they slipped it around the waist.

Then, they immediately chose a partner and broke away three meters away from the others. Zhi Shimo paired with Yuna Aurora, Yusan and Ming Yun, Xu Huang and Juan Rou, She Xia and She Jinjing, Princess Niu and Lu Guniang, Shima Yao and Bai Nuan, Juan Fangsu and Pang Shui who turned out to be the daughter of the ruler of the Black Eye Galaxy, and lastly was Pang Heng and Pang Hong who were also the sons of the ruler of the Black Eye Galaxy.

"After one of the beasts loses, I'll move first!" arrange Zhi Shimo to his team with telepathic communication.

Everyone nodded in understanding, as Zhi Shimo was the strongest among them and second was Yuna Aurora.

Booms...

The nine-tailed Phoenix bird spewed out a fireball to the five-headed Cobra Snake, an explosion was heard violently when the body of the Cobra Snake was hit by a fireball. The cobra's snake bounced off and immediately blurred quickly before the Phoenix attacked again.

The proud screeches of the nine-tailed Phoenix bird had defeated its enemy, then he looked at his surroundings which had become a mess. Then the two Phoenix bird eyes locked onto Zhi Shimo's body hiding behind the trees.

"We're caught...!" zhi Shimo said and shot straight towards the Phoenix before being attacked, "FIREFLY BLAST ENERGY!" his screams were letting out skills.

Then came eight hundred firefly energy balls that surrounded the Phoenix bird. The Phoenix bird immediately flapped its wings to destroy the firefly energy.

Booms... Booms...

Yuna Aurora immediately moved after Zhi Shimo made the Phoenix bird lose its balance. "DRAGON FIRE FIST!" Yuna Aurora shouted out with a punch that was enveloped in the Fire of the Universe.

The punch of Yuna Aurora turned into a Fire Dragon that was swerving and darting towards the Phoenix bird. Then all the teams rushed to attack simultaneously, they unleashed their most powerful mainstay skill.

Booms... Booms...

Back a barrage of explosive sounds rang out, as all the attacks hit the body of the Phoenix bird. The Phoenix bird was unable to react quickly, as its head felt dizzy when it was hit by a shock wave of soul force.

Bangs...

The Phoenix bird fell hard, then it immediately flapped its wings before it was attacked again. Zhi Shimo immediately took out the Firefly Blast Energy, and re-emerged the firefly energy surrounded the Phoenix bird.

Screeched the Phoenix bird by flapping its wings to escape, yet Zhi Shimo controlled the firefly energy ball to catch up.

Booms... Booms...

Eight hundred firefly energy balls exploded before the Phoenix bird moved away. Unfortunately, the Phoenix bird escaped faster before being hit by a shock wave.

"Humph! Too bad he ran away!" regret Zhi Shimo who did not succeed in taming the Phoenix bird, but only a few more Phoenix birds were defeated.

Yuna Aurora and the team are also disappointed to have failed to get the hunt, while watching the Phoenix bird fly towards the top of the big mountain, Mount Jiuhua.

Mount Jiuhua literally means “Nine Mountains Agung”. The mountain is home to ancient caves, waterfalls, old pines, rivers, and shady bamboo plants. Mount Jiuhua is inhabited by many mystical beasts and a few demons who want to keep it.

After the fight, everyone inspected the surroundings, it turned out that they had passed through the forest of the Thousand Demon Valley, and were currently on the prairie land.

"Who knows this place?" ask Zhi Shimo to his team.

Everyone shook their heads in ignorance, then Yuna Aurora said representing her team, "recently we are here, if in the Valley of a Thousand Demons most of us have ever explored it, although not completely."

Zhi Shimo nodded in understanding, then she activated the Eye of Heaven to look at the entirety of the newly stepped territory. After the forest of the Valley of the Thousand Demons was a land of grasslands. After the meadow and before heading to Mount Jiuhua, first have to cross the big river that separates the two places.

After crossing the great river and if one intends to hunt the mystic beasts in Jiuhua Mountain, then one must pass through the dense wilderness of the Thousand Demon Valley forest.

"We hunt only mystic beasts rather than hunting demons, anyways the path to the Valley of the Thousand Demons has disappeared!" pang Shui's advice to all of his colleagues.

"Mount Jiuhua was more terrifying than the Valley of a Thousand Demons, a bit stealthy but had terrifying strength, not to mention with numerous and also powerful mystic beasts!" princess Niu.

Everyone confirmed the words of Princess Niu, because they had just faced a powerful Phoenix bird, luckily there was Zhi Shimo, so it was able to make the Phoenix bird afraid.

"Just go back to the Valley of the Thousand Demons by flying and there is no need to walk!" chirping Xu Huang who was reluctant to hunt on Mount Jiuhua, he forgot if he was afraid of heights.

"Well, let's go back!" support Pang Shui, he actually wanted to hunt on Mount Jiuhua.

Finally everyone returned to the Thousand Demon Valley by flying, yet they could only fly a thousand meters high, more than that their bodies felt a strong pressure.

While traversing the forest of the Thousand Demon Valley, Zhi Shimo and his team saw a hollow crater, whereas previously while walking through the forest did not see it. They also pass through a crater hole that looks harmless.

However, while in the middle of the crater hole, the hole in the middle seemed to suck the body of Zhi Shimo and everyone.

"Don't get sucked in!!" the cry of Zhi Shimo who was in front with Yuna Aurora, she immediately changed direction.

Everyone with all their might stayed away from the crater hole. Unfortunately, the crater hole is getting stronger suction power and make Zhi Shimo and his team pulled into the crater.

"That's...!!"

Shouts of everyone who finally was unable to fight the suction power of the crater hole, they entered into it.

Zhi Shimo and his team entered the crater hole and saw hundreds of passageways that resembled labyrinths. Zhi Shimo immediately pulled the hands of Yuna Aurora and Shima Yao who were closest to being separated.

Unfortunately, the suction power of the passageway is stronger than the crater hole, they are separated by entering different aisles. And, no one knew where to go after crossing the passageway.
