The reason why the sharp-nosed monkey is difficult to deal with is not because of its strong fighting ability, but because its roar is particularly sharp and can be heard over a long distance. Once it encounters danger, its sharp roar can easily attract many monsters.
Upon seeing the sharp-mouthed monkey, Xiao Yan immediately prepared to take action. He threw the Xuan Heavy Ruler from his hand towards the monkey's location, and then activated the wind and thunder power within his body, rushing towards the monkey.
"Wow!"
However, Xiao Yan's movements were still a little slow.
The moment the sharp-nosed monkey saw Xiao Yan pluck the red flower, it was about to roar angrily, but Xiao Yan just happened to turn around and see it.
A sharp, bird-like sound rang out and quickly spread in all directions.
"Pfft!"
Xiao Yan easily crushed the sharp-nosed monkey's throat, but unfortunately, it was too late.
"Shhhhh!"
This place is already close to the center of the Ten Thousand Medicines Mountain Range. Several magical beasts with strength no weaker than Dou Huang arrived first, and they all showed anger when they looked at Xiao Yan.
"Roar!"
A demonic wolf took the lead and pounced on Xiao Yan.
Seeing the demonic wolf pounce towards him, Xiao Yan remained calm. Since the infiltration had failed, he was not afraid of fighting!
"boom!"
With his internal fighting spirit roaring, Xiao Yan transformed into a humanoid beast, instantly closing in on the demonic wolf. He forced the wolf back with a single punch, and the eagle-shaped demonic beast that had been circling nearby saw this and swooped down from mid-air, its sharp beak aimed at Xiao Yan's head.
Unfortunately, faced with overwhelming power, these sixth-tier magical beasts, comparable to Dou Huang, did not make the slightest fuss.
Having easily defeated his opponent, Xiao Yan suddenly looked behind him, where a powerful aura rose from the mountains.
"This aura... a Dou Zun!"
Although Xiao Yan's strength had improved during his two months of cultivation at the Ye family, he knew his own limitations when facing a Dou Zun realm expert and wouldn't go looking for death.
Amidst the sounds of wind and thunder, Xiao Yan flew towards the outer edge of the Ten Thousand Medicines Mountain Range.
If he had known earlier that the overlord of the Ten Thousand Medicines Mountain Range was an eighth-tier magical beast, he wouldn't have been so reckless.
Chapter 188 The Appearance of Elder Mu Gu (Second Update)
He sensed the aura of a Dou Zun emanating from the depths of the mountains behind him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yan activated his wind and thunder power, unleashing a flying combat technique he rarely used in his daily life. In an instant, he transformed into a black line and disappeared into the sky.
Even the several magical beasts on the ground that Xiao Yan had already severely injured, Xiao Yan had no intention of finishing them off.
"Forehead......."
The next moment, Xiong Zhan stepped out of the spatial rift and landed right in the middle of several heavily injured magical beasts. Looking at the fallen magical beasts, a hint of anger flashed in Xiong Zhan's eyes.
But even Xiong Zhan was speechless as he watched the dark figure disappear into the horizon.
"This... this is the speed that a Dou Zong can unleash?"
Looking at the distance between them, Xiong Zhan knew that he probably couldn't catch up with his opponent. After all, his greatest strength was power, and as for speed... he was only at the level of an ordinary Dou Zun.
"You're lucky you ran fast!"
Xiong Zhan cursed angrily in the direction Xiao Yan had fled, then his gaze fell on the several demonic beasts lying on the ground, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.
However, having witnessed Xiao Yan's speed,
Xiong Zhan also understood that he couldn't blame these magical beasts, since the fact that the human had managed to escape from his grasp meant that the other party was not weak.
However, at this moment, Xiong Zhan realized that Xiao Fan, who had been following behind him, had also disappeared.
"Hmm? Where is Xiao Fan?"
Xiong Zhan turned around but didn't see Xiao Fan. He then turned his gaze to Zi Yan, who was standing to the side, and asked her curiously.
"He went to chase after Xiao Yan!"
Zi Yan pointed to the direction where Xiao Yan had just disappeared and calmly spoke.
"Xiao Yan?"
Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiong Zhan's face showed a hint of surprise. He then turned his head to look in the direction Xiao Yan had just left, recalling the other party's terrifying speed. Xiong Zhan asked, "Was the person who just escaped Xiao Yan the one you were looking for?"
"Yup!"
Bear Warrior:............
Despite having already been convinced of Xiao Fan's superiority after their battle, Xiong Zhan suddenly felt a sense of defeat at this moment.
"I knew it! How could a mere Dou Zong level brat escape from me? Sure enough, prodigies always seem to appear in droves!"
Upon hearing that the person who had just attacked was Xiao Fan's junior brother, Xiong Zhan showed a hint of helplessness on his face, shook his head, and said to himself in self-consolation.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan activated the Three Thousand Thunderbolts technique to its limit, and his flying combat skills dared not stop for a moment. In just a few breaths, he was far away from the place where the battle had just taken place.
"Thank goodness! That eighth-tier magical beast doesn't seem to be chasing us!"
Xiao Yan felt the movement behind him, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly spoke.
"The aura of that magical beast just now probably indicated that its strength had reached the level of a four-star Dou Zun."
Yao Lao's voice rang out from Xiao Yan's storage ring, and then he spoke to Xiao Yan again: "Moreover, just now, I felt that there was still an extremely terrifying bloodline power in his body. If we really fought, even a five-star Dou Zun might not be able to defeat it!"
"Hehe, Elder Yao has a good eye!"
Just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly came from above his head, and Xiao Yan's expression was immediately filled with surprise.
"Brother!"
Looking back, Xiao Fan stood in mid-air, sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Yan. Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "A four-star Dou Zong? It seems you've made great progress these past two months!"
"hey-hey.........."
Hearing Xiao Fan's praise, Xiao Yan scratched his head, a look of satisfaction on his face, and explained to Xiao Fan, "I broke through to the three-star Dou Zong realm just two days after you left. For the next two months, I kept refining medicine, and my Dou Qi was constantly being consumed and then restored, which greatly improved my strength. Then, thanks to Elder Yao's help, I finally broke through to the four-star Dou Zong realm in one go!"
Xiao Yan explained to Xiao Fan in detail, then his face fell. He looked at Xiao Fan and said, "Senior brother, you didn't come to the Pill Gathering too, did you?"
"What? I can't participate!?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Fan smiled at Elder Yao. Along the way, thanks to Elder Yao's care, Xiao Fan was able to be a comfortable, hands-off manager. He had planned to help Elder Yao refine his body, but he hadn't been able to gather all the materials for refining the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill. A few days ago, Xiao Fan had just finished finding them in the Pill Realm. Now, seeing Elder Yao, he couldn't help but think of this place.
Then Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I sensed that people from the Soul Palace seemed to have infiltrated the Pill Realm, so I sneaked in with Zi Yan."
After speaking, Xiao Fan explained to Xiao Yan his and Zi Yan's actions of entering the Pill Realm.
Wow! I see!
Hearing that Xiao Fan and Zi Yan had plundered the Pill Realm for three days, Xiao Yan's face showed an expression of understanding. He said to Xiao Fan, "I knew it! I've been here for so long, and I haven't come across many truly rare medicinal herbs. It turns out they've all ended up in your pockets..."
"What herbs are on your list? What's missing? Let me see if I have them."
Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yan and, without hesitation, asked him about the medicinal herbs on the second test list.
After searching through his storage ring, Xiao Fan tossed a bunch of items to Xiao Yan and said, "There's one more Wind-Transformation Fruit that I haven't found here, but I remember seeing it in a canyon east of the Ten Thousand Medicines Mountain Range. I'll go get it when I have time."
After helping Xiao Yan resolve the issue of the medicinal herbs on the list, Xiao Fan led Xiao Yan back towards Xiong Zhan's location.
When Xiao Yan saw Xiong Zhan in person, he immediately felt the powerful fighting spirit and terrifying strength emanating from him. A wave of pressure washed over him, making Xiao Yan feel extremely alarmed.
Xiao Yan looked up and met Xiong Zhan's bloodthirsty and murderous eyes.
Feeling the pressure emanating from Xiong Zhan, Xiao Yan broke out in a cold sweat. The immense pressure caused his body to tremble uncontrollably, and his legs began to shake slightly.
However, Xiao Yan was no ordinary person. The more Xiong Zhan pressured him, the more Xiao Yan resisted. His fighting spirit surged out, resisting the attacks from Xiong Zhan. Then, his strange fire erupted, and the pressure on him eased considerably.
"Hahaha, good!"
Xiong Zhan looked at Xiao Yan and suddenly burst into laughter. His bloodthirsty aura and imposing presence vanished completely. His gaze fell on Xiao Yan, and he said, "As expected of Xiao Fan's junior brother, such talent and temperament at such a young age are truly rare!"
With the pressure gone, Xiao Yan felt much more relaxed. He knew that what had just happened was just Xiong Zhan testing him. After that brief encounter, Xiao Yan felt much more at ease facing Xiong Zhan again.
Having found Xiao Yan, Xiao Fan had accomplished most of his goal. He then refrained from revealing his whereabouts and hid in the shadows with Xiong Zhan.
As for Xiao Yan, he was still searching for medicinal herbs throughout the Pill Realm. However, he was now being secretly protected by two Dou Zun experts, and Yao Lao was also keeping a close watch on him in his storage ring.
Xiao Yan had already obtained the "Wind-Changing Fruit," the medicinal herb missing from his list, and also took many other good things from within the valley.
On the third day after Xiao Yan and Xiao Fan reunited, the old man Mu Gu, who had been silent all along, finally revealed his whereabouts!
In the middle of a swamp, Xiao Yan finally managed to subdue a seventh-order poisonous crocodile whose strength had reached the Dou Zong realm. Just as he was about to pluck a bright red lotus blooming in the center of the swamp, he noticed a withered arm in front of him, taking the lotus into its pouch. Then, a familiar voice rang in Xiao Yan's ears.
"Hehe, I'll gladly accept this blood lotus..."
Xiao Yan looked up and saw that it was none other than Elder Mu Gu, who had attacked him in Saint Pill City earlier, trying to seize the Burning Technique and the Strange Fire.
"It's you!"
Xiao Yan's pupils contracted sharply. He was still shaken by the opponent's terrifying strength. If the Pill Tower hadn't arrived in time, he might have had to fight to the death.
"call out!"
Xiao Yan retreated rapidly, trying to get away from his opponent, but found that the old man Mu Gu was like a leech, and the distance between them had not changed.
"Hehe, don't waste your energy. I've already set up an array around you. This time, no one will come to save you!"
The old man Mu Gu looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of covetousness in his eyes and said, "As long as you give me that cultivation technique and relinquish all the strange fire within your body and transfer it to me, I guarantee I will not kill you. In fact, I can even help you enter the Soul Palace to cultivate the supreme technique. Becoming a Dou Sheng is not impossible. What do you say?!"
Hearing Elder Mu Gu's words, Xiao Yan glanced at him and said sarcastically, "Heh, if that's the case, why are you still so concerned about the Burning Technique?"
Hearing the sarcasm in Xiao Yan's tone, Elder Mu Gu knew that Xiao Yan had no intention of backing down, and his face instantly darkened. He said, "You're courting death!"
