"Master Zhang, don't forget the bet we just made, whoever has more points will win!"
Seeing everyone going up the mountain quickly, "Brother Yu" couldn't hold it any longer, turned to look at Zhang Xuan, sneered, and quickly rushed up the mountain with Feng Wu.
"Let's go too!"
Seeing everyone leaving one after another, Zhang Xuan glanced at Luo Xuan, Master Ruohuan and others behind him and said.
In the freshman assessment, famous teachers like Master Hong who are seeing off are not qualified to enter and can only watch from the outside. Therefore, they can only rely on themselves for the rest.
"Um!"
Luo Xuan and others nodded.
"go there!"
Knowing that everyone was following his lead, Zhang Xuan did not refuse, looked around, his eyes fell on a long and narrow valley, and walked ahead.
The famous teachers from the Huan Yu Empire who came for the assessment followed closely behind.
Leiyuan Peak is not only steep, but also covers a wide area, with countless ravines, rocks, vegetation... Although there are many thirty thousand people, it becomes insignificant in such a huge mountain.
Not many people came to the passage that Zhang Xuan chose, and it was sparsely populated.
The group of people had reached the peak of the Zhuoqing Realm at worst, and their speed was extremely fast. In about ten minutes, they entered the mountain forest.
The dense vegetation blocks the sun in the sky, and the entire mountain range gives off a cold atmosphere.
In the mountain forest, it was quiet and indifferent, with no sound at all. I don't know whether it was the people who came in front who drove away the animals and birds, or whether they knew that so many famous masters were hunting them and hid in advance, giving people a sense of lifelessness. .
"Master Zhang, how do we leave?"
After walking for a while, not even a single animal hair was seen, not to mention the spiritual beasts. Luo Xuan and others couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Leiyuan Peak is so wide that it is not easy to find spiritual beasts as long as they hide. However, there is no need to worry. I am an animal trainer and have already discovered some traces..."
Zhang Xuan smiled.
Regardless of his status as a famous teacher, he is still an animal tamer who is proficient in animal language. Although the mountain forest seems empty and empty, it cannot be hidden from the eyes of the animal tamer.
What's more, he also has the eye of understanding.
I really want to find it, but no matter how well I hide it, I can't escape.
After walking forward for a while, Zhang Xuan suddenly stopped and asked everyone to be silent. With a flick of his wrist, the sword appeared in his palm.
Wow!
With a shake of his hand, a sword beam struck the steep rock wall in front of him.
Everyone was wondering why they were splitting the stone when they heard a roar, the rock shattered, and then a gray figure rushed out straight away.
The peak spiritual beast of the fourth level of mortal transformation... Howling Wind Wolf!
Unexpectedly, this guy was hiding in the rock.
"Leave it to you, I'll go take a look at it from the front!"
Knowing that a spiritual beast of this level would not put any pressure on Luo Xuan and the others, Zhang Xuan did not take action. He stepped on the ground and flew forward quickly.
This valley slopes upward. Although there are steep rocks everywhere, there are also dense vegetation. I tapped my feet back and forth on the branches and walked forward for seven or eight kilometers in a short time.
call!
Zhang Xuan paused and frowned.
"Is this a trace of the passing of the herd?"
Although there were not many marks left on the ground in front of me, by turning my eyes of understanding, I could easily see that a herd of beasts had passed by not long ago.
"Green-backed Barbarian Bear, Iron-toothed Leopard, Yellow Southern Tiger, Golden-armed Iron Monkey... This herd has at least a dozen different types of spiritual beasts, and... they all have reached the spirit-joining realm and are good at speed!"
After observing for a while, I made a judgment in my mind.
Different types of spiritual beasts left different traces. At a glance, he actually recognized at least a dozen species among the passing beasts.
These spirit beasts are usually hostile, but now they are together. I am afraid that as Elder Mi said before, they have united together and plan to surround and kill humans.
"Master Zhang..."
As they continued to observe, wanting to see where these spiritual beasts had gone, they saw Luo Xuan and others chasing after them.
A spiritual beast at the peak of the Zhuoqing realm was indeed nothing to them, and they could kill it easily.
It's just that there are too many people in their team for assessment. At this level, killing one or two people is just a drop in the bucket.
"Well, everyone, keep your voices down, let's do something big!"
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.
Since there were at least a dozen fifth-level mortal spiritual beasts passing by, it was natural to find a way to kill them.
As long as they are killed cleanly, everyone's points should be enough.
If it were any other team or alliance, even if they knew that there were more than a dozen Heling Realm spirit beasts in front, they would not dare to rush forward. He was different. His own strength had already reached the peak of the fifth level of mortal transformation, and his combat power was even stronger. That's all, one person can kill them all if he wants to.
"A big deal?"
Everyone was puzzled.
"Well, according to my observation, there should have been a group of spirit beasts in the combined spirit realm passing by just now. As long as they are killed, the points for all of us will be enough..." Zhang Xuan smiled softly.
"A spirit beast in the combined spirit realm?"
Everyone's eyes lit up with excitement.
A person in the early stage of Heling Realm can get ten points, five heads, and everyone's points are enough.
As for whether there will be danger, doesn't Master Zhang have a half-step ninth-level beast pet? If it's really dangerous, once it takes action, it won't be a problem at all...
"follow me!"
Regardless of what everyone was thinking, Zhang Xuan swayed his body and chased forward along the traces.
"That's not right..."
After a while, it stopped.
"What's wrong?" Young Master Ruohuan came over.
"There are traces of formations in front, but there are no traces of fighting..."
Zhang Xuan frowned.
"What do you mean?" Everyone was confused.
"There are traces of the formation, which means... someone was ambushing here before! There are no traces of fighting, which means that this group of spiritual beasts did not fall into the trap and escaped in advance!"
Zhang Xuan explained.
"Spiritual beasts are naturally sensitive to spiritual energy. They may have discovered the formation and avoided it!"
Luo Xuan interjected.
Spirit beasts' sense of smell and touch are more sensitive than humans, so it's no big deal if they can detect the formation in advance!
"This is the five-star Qingxiao Formation! It is famous for being hidden. Even famous masters in the Heling Realm may not be able to find it if they pass by here..."
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Not that easy.
Although the opponent's formation has been removed, traces are still there. With his eyesight, he can completely tell the type and level of the formation based on these.
The Qingxiao Formation is famous for its concealment. Without the use of the Eye of Understanding, even he would have a hard time finding it when he encountered it, let alone a group of spiritual beasts!
He didn't believe that a group of spirit beasts with only the combined spirit realm had more powerful eyesight than him.
"That is how the matter?"
Everyone frowned when they heard Qingxiao's formation.
"I don't know either... keep catching up and see!"
Zhang Xuan couldn't figure out what was going on, but there was nothing to worry about. Looking at the traces, this group of spirit beasts still passed by not long ago. If he continued to catch up, he should be able to figure out what was going on.
"good!"
Everyone knew that his opinion was definitely correct and continued to follow.
As he moved forward, he searched for traces. After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhang Xuan stopped again.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his expression, Mr. Ruohuan couldn't help but come to him.
"Someone passed by here just now and used [Red Blood Pill] as bait, but...the group of spiritual beasts still didn't fall for the trick and left quietly..."
Zhang Xuan said after taking a breath of the breath left in the air.
"Red Blood Pill?"
"Well, it's a fifth-level elixir that a spirit beast in the combined spirit realm can't refuse..." Zhang Xuan became more and more strange.
If it were for other items, the spirit beast could refuse it. Once taken, the Red Blood Pill can enhance the bloodline and be of great benefit to the spirit beast. It is a bit strange that it can still resist it.
Spiritual beasts are not as intelligent as humans. If they knew it was a trap and sought good fortune to avoid misfortune, there would not be so many beast pets that would be tamed by humans.
It was a coincidence to avoid the formation once, but now he can even resist the temptation of the Red Blood Pill, which makes people have to doubt it.
"The most important thing is that the person who set up the formation and the person who put down the red blood pill to seduce the spirit beast are gone!"
Zhang Xuan continued.
"Disappeared? Could it be... killed by them?"
Luo Xuan's pupils shrank.
It is definitely not easy for a force that can produce level 5 formations and level 5 peak elixirs. With so many people killed, it would be difficult for them to compete if they really encounter them.
"No! If there was a fight, there would definitely be traces left behind. Not to mention a group of spirit beasts in the combined spirit realm, even if they are at the eighth or ninth level of mortal form, it would be difficult to kill a group of famous masters in one go!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Those who can come here for assessment are all the best among famous teachers, with high status and bright future, and no one has some means to save his life.
Not to mention more than a dozen spirit beasts at the combined spirit realm, even several eighth-level and ninth-level mortal beasts, if they want to kill people silently without leaving any traces, it is impossible to do so.
"Then..." Everyone was confused.
"If my guess is correct, this group of people should have discovered the spirit beast and quietly followed it..." Zhang Xuan expressed his inference.
"Follow me?"
"Well, otherwise, it would be impossible for the formation to be dismantled so cleanly, the pills were also taken away, and no traces were left on the ground!" Zhang Xuan continued.
"Discovered the spirit beast? That's not right. Since the spirit beast discovered the other party in advance, it must have left quietly. Wouldn't it be dangerous for the other party to track it again?"
Master Ruohuan figured out the key and couldn't help but say.
"That's why I feel strange!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Since this group of spiritual beasts can detect formations and traps set by humans in advance, they must leave quietly without being discovered in order to escape.
And now, not only the first group of people discovered it, but the second group of people also discovered it... It was as if they deliberately leaked the traces so that others could find them.
This has to make people think deeply.
"Keep catching up and see..."
Knowing that it was impossible to find the answer in this entanglement, Zhang Xuan found the mark of the spirit beast's departure and continued to pursue it.
Everyone followed closely.
After walking for half an hour and making a large circle along the mountain peak, we found several human ambushes and even traces of fights.
However, these marks are very simple. It should be that the spirit beast encountered the opponent and retreated without much fighting.
