Mortal: I, Li Feiyu, a cultivator of attributes!

Upon hearing this, Zhan Hun frowned, pondered for a few minutes, then tilted his head and shook it.

"I do not know."

The atmosphere instantly became somewhat somber, and Han Li did not press the matter further.

"Alright, now that the danger is over, let's rest for a bit and continue on our way."

After a quick tidying up, the four continued on their way. Faced with the unknown road ahead, their thoughts seemed to waver, and the atmosphere gradually became somber rather than joyful.

The various encounters after entering the Netherworld Peak made everyone realize that this battle on the Netherworld Peak would be more intense than any other before.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a dense forest suddenly appeared ahead.

In the forest, almost every tree was exceptionally thick and tall, with no end in sight. Occasionally, the calls of birds and animals could be heard from within the trees.

The sturdy trees are covered with lush foliage, their branches overlapping each other, completely blocking out the glaring sunlight overhead.

“This forest is quite strange,” Han Li said, placing his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Yin Po unconsciously tightened his clothes and said, "I have the same feeling. I always feel that the trees here grow in a strange way, and they give me a creepy feeling..."

Li Feiyu's gaze swept over the trees, and he said in a deep voice, "Netherworld Peak is inherently a place of extreme yin. The trees here have been nourished by yin energy for many years and have long since become mutated. Remember, from now on, do not touch anything casually, and do not believe any sounds you hear."

Having learned from their previous experience, Han Li and Zhan Hun kept Li Feiyu's words in mind. The four of them cautiously entered the forest in a diamond shape, and every few meters they could see skeletons.

Not long after they had walked, Li Feiyu felt a strange aura coming towards him.

"and many more!"

Li Feiyu raised his hand to stop the group, his expression serious.

The four quickly formed a circle, their backs pressed tightly together, as if ready to fight at any moment, thanks to their prior coordination.

Having chosen to enter the Netherworld Peak to search for the Netherworld Token, no matter how difficult the road ahead, there is no intention to back down. This is not only Li Feiyu's idea, but also a choice made by everyone together.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew by.

In an instant, the surrounding trees seemed to come alive, swaying and shaking. Even without any wind, the branches began to move and the leaves rustled.

The next second, a group of strangely shaped monsters suddenly appeared from all directions.

These demonic beasts resembled wolves in appearance, but possessed sharp claws and mouths full of fangs, with saliva slowly dripping from their mouths onto the ground. "What a nuisance!" Zhan Hun cursed, swiftly swinging his broadsword, a sharp blade of light slashing towards the demonic beasts.

To everyone's surprise, these monsters were not afraid. Instead, they nimbly dodged the attacks of the battle spirits and charged towards the four of them.

Han Li wielded the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, his swordsmanship unpredictable, the sword shadows flashing constantly, forcing back the approaching demonic beasts.

Yinpo unleashed the Silver Moon Divine Sword, knocking the demon beast off balance.

There were many demonic beasts, and they were not afraid of Li Feiyu and his group at all. Even if they were knocked away, as long as they could stand up, the demonic beasts would continue to attack them.

For a moment, the four of them and the group of monsters were locked in a stalemate.

Just as the group was trying to find a way to subdue the monster, a beam of light suddenly appeared.

A black light shot out from the depths of the forest, striking a demonic beast. In the blink of an eye, the beast transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished.

Faced with the sudden appearance of light, the group of people all looked toward the source of the light.

After seeing the situation clearly, the group was slightly taken aback at first, and then their eyes were fixed on him.

The man was dressed in black and wore a mask. He walked steadily and got closer and closer to the four of them, and the pressure around him grew stronger and stronger.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Li Feiyu asked warily.

The masked man did not answer Li Feiyu's question, but coldly uttered a sentence before turning and leaving with an air of nonchalance.

"These monsters are just minor trouble; the real danger is yet to come. If you want to leave here alive, come with me."

Standing there somewhat bewildered, Han Li and the others looked at Li Feiyu, waiting for him to make a decision that would determine their next steps.

Li Feiyu stood still, not taking any action, but instead fell into a brief moment of thought.

But upon further reflection, since the other party had intervened to help them eliminate the demonic beast, at least this person didn't have much connection to it. Considering their purpose for this trip and the current critical situation, their options seemed limited.

About half a minute later, Li Feiyu took a step forward, leading the three of them to follow behind the masked man, maintaining a safe distance.

On the way, the masked man moved with light steps and extremely fast speed, forcing the others to quicken their pace to keep up.

Led by the masked man, they passed through a forest and waded through several streams, finally arriving at a secluded valley. (End of Chapter)
