After a few people carefully dived into the depths, they found that there was a faint strange smell and blood in the air. Not only that, the ground was also littered with the bones of various animals.
Zhang Yerong looked at the bloody animal corpses with a pale face, but she still rejected the advice of several people to go back and followed them stubbornly.
Suddenly, the sound of a fox howling suddenly rang out all around, and the sharp and piercing sound penetrated into the ears of several people.
"Be careful, we should have been discovered."
Long Xiangtian reacted immediately and shouted, and then several people immediately dispersed. Especially Long Xiangtian and Wen Hao released all their mental power to prevent the fat man and others from getting into danger.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow jumped out from the bushes and rushed towards them. Everyone dispersed and dodged the attack of the black shadow, but their formation was also broken.
Now the true face of the black shadow was revealed, it was a fiery red fox. Although it was a fox, it was actually a few points bigger than the wolf cub. It bared its teeth and glared at everyone, which really made everyone doubt whether it was a fox or not.
"superior!"
Long Xiangtian saw at a glance that the red fox's strength should be around the first level of the Profound Realm, and was not a difficult opponent. It was estimated that even without Long Xiangtian and Wen Hao, Wang She and Yu Xunxue alone would be able to deal with it, so Long Xiangtian decisively asked everyone to take action at the first opportunity.
Several people burst out with their peak strength, especially the little fat man and Zhang Yerong, who unleashed their own profound strength to the maximum without leaving any room for error, not daring to be careless at all, after all, their opponents were ferocious beasts that had entered the profound realm.
The red fox was obviously much smarter than the little wolf. Its sharp intuition allowed it to immediately sense the faint danger emanating from Wen Hao and Long Xiangtian, and it planned to escape without any hesitation. It must be said that fox-shaped beasts do have great wisdom. The red fox saw at a glance that Zhang Yerong was the weakest among the few people, so it pounced directly on Zhang Yerong.
But what Red Fox didn't know was that Wang She had been paying attention to Zhang Yerong and protecting her all the time. So when Red Fox rushed over, Wang She and Zhang Yerong responded at the same time. Red Fox was indeed strong and repelled the two with just one palm. However, Zhang Yerong and Wang She were not ordinary people, so Red Fox's plan to break through Zhang Yerong was directly shattered.
In just this moment, Wen Hao and Long Xiangtian directly attacked the red fox. The red fox was unable to dodge. Although it dodged Wen Hao's sword, it was hit hard by Long Xiangtian's stick and flew away.
Several people took advantage of the victory to pursue the Red Fox, and at the same time, they were also afraid that the Red Fox would take the opportunity to escape, so they attacked together, making it impossible for the Red Fox to deal with them. However, the Red Fox was also very strong. Even though his body was covered with scars, he still struggled to hold on and did not fall down.
In the end, the red fox was still defeated by the crowd. It raised its head to the sky and howled miserably, then its huge body slowly fell into a pool of blood. Wen Hao cut off the red fox's head with a sword, and blood spilled into the sky. However, Wen Hao did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt quite excited because of a fist-sized animal crystal in the red fox's head.
Wen Hao took out the crystal directly and said to everyone excitedly: "So this is the beast crystal, it looks pretty good."
But when he turned his head, the fat man and Zhang Yerong couldn't help but vomit.
"What are you doing? Am I that disgusting?" Wen Hao looked puzzled.
Finally, Wenhao understood the reason why several people felt nauseous and vomited. It turned out that Zhang Yerong and the fat man had never experienced such a thing as killing. The red fox covered in blood already made them feel guilty, not to mention that Wenhao rudely cut off the red fox's head and took out the beast crystal.
The white and red thing on the red fox's beast crystal was very dazzling, making the little fat man and Zhang Yerong feel like their stomachs were churning.
Wenhao didn't pay attention to this matter at the time, but now he realized that his behavior was indeed inappropriate, so he directly put the beast crystal into the storage ring, and dealt with the red fox's body. It was no longer so filthy, and the little fat man and Zhang Yerong's faces looked better.
"We will experience this kind of thing every day in the next few days. If you two can't stand it, quit as soon as possible." Long Xiangtian shook his head. He also knew how Zhang Yerong and the others felt. Don't look at him calmly at this moment, it's because he is used to seeing life and death. I remember that when I killed someone for the first time, I was not much better than them.
But as a cultivator, how could he not experience such things? An emotion like womanly kindness would cause a cultivator to lose his head and body.
Zhang Yerong had nothing to vomit in her stomach, but she still felt sour water coming out. However, after she heard Long Xiangtian's words, how could she admit defeat? Zhang Yerong wiped the sour water from her mouth, and a tough look appeared in her eyes.
"Brother, I won't quit. I want to become stronger and don't want others to look down on me." Zhang Yerong's character was formed since childhood. She never felt that she was inferior to others as a girl, nor did she think that she was a pampered young lady, so she was not willing to quit.
Seeing Zhang Yerong's strong attitude, Long Xiangtian felt a little sorry for her, so he said to Wang She, "You should protect my sister well. If anything goes wrong, I will ask you for your help."
The fat boy wanted to say something, but seeing that Zhang Yerong was so fearless, he swallowed the words.
"Okay, this beast crystal alone is far from enough, let's continue."
They didn't have much time, not enough for them to enjoy their victory here, and they didn't have time to give Zhang Yerong and the little fat man time to recover, so Long Xiangtian directly called out the little wolf. The red fox was already dead, so the little wolf had nothing to worry about, and soon appeared beside Long Xiangtian.
In the next five days, Long Xiangtian and others followed the approximate route to the final trial place and cleared out all the ferocious beast overlords along the entire route.
Of course, they only picked the fierce beasts at the peak of the Penetration Realm or the first-grade entry realm, and they were not too reckless. They had a great harvest in these five days. They had harvested nearly ten beast crystals of various sizes just from the Entry Profound Realm, not to mention the countless fierce beasts at the Penetration Realm that they had killed.
Moreover, the practical experience and tacit understanding of the few of them also improved a lot. However, when Wang She faced a bear-shaped beast with the strength of the first-grade Xuan realm, he suffered minor injuries in order to protect Zhang Yerong, which made Zhang Yerong feel very guilty.
Speaking of Zhang Yerong, after these few days of training, she and the fat boy can now treat things like killing ferocious beasts with a normal attitude.
