Just as Jiang Xueling, Lian Baiping and others expected, the Sky-Swallowing Beast that was rushing around and causing the earth to shake was certainly not satisfied with the taste after eating some things mainly composed of soil and vegetation.
After stirring up the mountains, the Sky-Swallowing Beast took off again with a roar. All kinds of auras in the Southern Wasteland were reflected in the eyes of the Sky-Swallowing Beast. Among all the prosperous and chaotic auras, the aura from the direction of the Southern Wasteland Mountains attracted it the most, just like a hungry person visiting a table of fragrant meal in the distance.
“Mmmmm…”
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The mountains were still shaking slightly, and the Sky-Devouring Beast was slowly rising with gravel rolling off its body. In this state, it would undoubtedly be useless to ask Xiao San not to eat, and it would also be very hurtful. Jiang Xueling and the people of Weimei Sect could only try their best to influence Xiao San, so that it could maintain basic sanity and not fly to the human kingdom.
After the Sky-Devouring Beast flew away, a monster that looked like an old man appeared again on the mountain where a small part of the mountain peak collapsed. He looked at the flying monster with lingering fear, and could even vaguely see a person standing on the monster.
"Wow, this is a fairy beast?"
The monster looked down at the surrounding mountains. At least seventeen or eighteen peaks had collapsed, leaving behind a huge and deep ravine. Countless animals in the mountains were still fleeing in panic. The old man-looking monster could only be thankful that he was not too deeply connected to the mountains and the earth. Apart from being scared, nothing happened.
The Southern Wasteland is a place with a large number of monsters, but the so-called one of the two wastelands does not refer to the entire Southern Wasteland. In the minds of those who truly understand it, it mainly refers to the extremely vast Southern Wasteland Mountains.
There is no doubt that although the density of monsters in various places in Nanhuangzhou is the largest except for the Black Wasteland, the forbidden area where monsters are truly roaming is the Nanhuang Mountains, and the direction that the Sky-Swallowing Beast Xiao San is heading at this moment is also there, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
Jiang Xueling's attention was no longer on the Sky-Devouring Beast. Instead, he squinted his eyes and looked at the distant Southern Wilderness Mountains. Even though the distance was at least tens of thousands of miles away at this moment, in his magic eyes, he seemed to be able to see and feel the demonic aura.
"Grandmaster, we have sent a message to the sect, but the sect is too far away. Even if we send someone here, it will take at least several months. Grandmaster, do we have to take Xiao San with us to attack the heart of the Southern Wilderness?"
Zhou Xian said this, and even though he had been practicing for almost two hundred years, he was still very nervous.
Jiang Xueling smiled at her.
"That's right. Even if we know what's going on, outsiders will see it differently. I hope Xiao San will be more careful when she speaks."
The speed of the Sky-Devouring Beast has reached the limit it can reach. If there is a mortal kingdom below the place it passes through, people can often hear a muffled thunder-like sound in the sky coming from far away, and a huge dark cloud comes with a rumbling sound, and then goes away again.
After a few days, the front became gray and the land below seemed more and more desolate, but after flying for more than an hour, the front became clear again, as if passing through a sand city. What came into the eyes of the Sky-Devouring Beast and the people standing on it was vast and boundless beautiful mountains and waters, at least it seemed so.
There are endless towering mountains before you, with majestic peaks standing tall in the distance and near. All you see is lush greenery, and it is hard to associate this place with the word "deserted".
“Mmmmm—”
The Sky-Devouring Beast roared excitedly, flapping its tail wildly as it kept rushing toward the top of the mountain. At the moment, it was still on the periphery, but it could already feel the demonic energy rising from within.
"Xiao San, Hengshan is less than a thousand miles away from here. No matter how hungry you are, you should be more restrained. The mountain god of Hengshan is a true god. You..."
Before Jiang Xueling could finish her words, the Sky-Swallowing Beast had already rushed towards the distant mountain, unable to control its appetite at all.
"Why… "
Sighing, Jiang Xueling had no choice but to turn around and look at the twenty or so Weimei Sect disciples who were standing not far behind him. They were all on high alert.
"Disciples of the Weimei Sect, listen up. Go deep into the Southern Wilderness and place the demon-capturing incense. Try to choose some dark and evil places and do not fight with the demons."
"yes!"
All the disciples of Weimei Sect, including Zhou Xian, responded in unison, then flew up one after another, riding on the light of escape and flying towards the front.
Zhou Xian took the lead, having already mastered the speed of escape to the extreme. His arms turned gracefully, and small sticks of crystal clear and beautiful incense appeared in the palms of his hands. Then, without him casting any spell, one of the incense sticks started burning by itself.
"go."
With a flick of his finger, the lit demon-capturing incense shot forward at lightning speed and directly sank into the belly of a high mountain.
Above the Sky-Devouring Beast's head, Jiang Xueling was playing with a strand of her hair. After the Weimei Sect disciples left, her expression became serious and she began to make hand gestures and cast spells. Dim light rose from her body and then was directed to the sky and earth in all directions. She was trying her best to conceal the secrets of heaven.
In the distance, above the mountains that had been infused with the soul-stealing incense, wisps of mist soon began to rise, and even a strange fragrance rose up, like the strange fragrance of a top-grade elixir coming out of a furnace, like the fragrance of a mature treasure of the highest quality, and like the warm fragrance of an icy body...
All kinds of magical scents mixed together without interfering with each other, and spread at a speed far exceeding the surrounding wind speed.
This aroma is almost irresistible to many demons and monsters, especially those who already have some mental problems due to the pursuit of power.
Waves of demonic aura rose, and almost all the restless demons had smelled the aroma of the demon-capturing incense. Even though some demons knew that something was not right, they still could not ignore the fragrance.
In a deep valley in the mountains, five banshees were sitting cross-legged. The one in the middle looked mature and graceful, while the four on her left and right were relatively young. Some even looked childish, but they were all genuine transformed monsters.
At this time, even though there were restrictions in place inside and outside the valley, the scent of the soul-capturing incense was so penetrating that the lingering fragrance still seeped in, so that the five women who were meditating all opened their eyes at the same time.
"Mom! Do you smell it?"
"What a nice smell!" "Could this be some kind of treasure?"
The youngest girl couldn't help but stand up.
"Mom, shall we go take a look?"
The woman in the middle was also very interested, but after casting a spell and calculating, she found that it was chaos.
"Wait, we're not going!"
“Roar~~~~”
A roar was heard, it was the roar of a monster in the same mountain, and it had obviously flown away.
"Mom, why?" "Yes, the wolf demon has already gone, the treasure may not be far away from us. If we seize the opportunity first, we may be able to get it!"
The middle-aged woman was a little upset. She stood up, took two steps, and then sat down again, facing her four daughters.
"Have you forgotten the rebellion of stealing pills? It was clearly some demon kings who started it. After they left, they were fine. How many fellow Taoists were killed or injured? Cultivation may be harder and slower, but we can achieve it ourselves."
"But even that wolf demon..."
"He is just an evildoer with deep evil karma. How can he be compared with us? Sit down. Your qi is disordered today. I can't tell whether it will be good or bad. It's best not to go out!"
The four women looked at each other, appearing extremely unwilling, but they had no choice but to sit down with a sigh. However, even after sitting down, they could not calm down.
On the mountain where the first soul-capturing incense was located, between heaven and earth, near and far, lines of demonic aura, some hidden and some powerful, were approaching rapidly. Some had already sensed each other's presence, but remained in the same direction or even accelerated, while others became cautious, and some even retreated quietly.
What is certain is that before long, a large number of demons and even some vicious mountain ghosts and evil creatures gathered on the mountainside where the soul-capturing incense was located in a not-so-large area.
Half of the demons' attention was on the surroundings, and the other half was focused on that one mountain.
"Haha, treasures are always obtained by those who are capable. We will naturally compete with each other, but there must be something strange about the mountain where the treasure is hidden. Let us explore the way first."
The one who spoke was a huge white wolf, and most of the other monsters were staring at the mountain with eager eyes. Without saying much, the demonic aura on their bodies was becoming stronger and stronger. Everyone knew that if a treasure really came out, there would be a fight.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The branches and leaves of the vegetation in the mountains were shaking gently, and a dark cloud was approaching quickly in the sky.
Thunder? No!
Some monsters flying in the sky turned their heads to look at the dark clouds first. A huge shadow was slowly lowering from the sky, and an exaggerated oppression was created, as if they were facing the power of heaven. To some extent, it had a bit of the flavor of Ji Yuantian's sword.
“Mmmmm…”
As the Sky-Devouring Beast roared, the dark clouds became clearer and clearer. Under the shadow, a huge sky-devouring mouth filled with smoke appeared before the eyes.
Some monsters in the sky were swallowed by the Sky-Devouring Beast before they could even react. Although its mouth was not closed, it was like mortals rolling into the abyss, and they could not escape from its mouth at all.
“Roar…” “What the hell!?”
"run… "
Jiang Xueling stood in front of the Heaven-Devouring Beast's forehead, and swept his magic eyes over many monsters, specifically focusing on those that had a mixture of demonic aura and strong hostility. A small silver dart appeared in his hand.
'Leave some!'
Whoosh…
Silver light flashed at an incredibly fast speed, and some monsters had flashes of blood on their bodies, breaking the escape light.
"Mmmmm..."
The Sky-Devouring Beast opened its huge mouth and swept across an area before turning its head again. The dark mass was heading in the direction of the fleeing monsters, which frightened all the monsters.
