Chapter 1419 Never mind, just do it!
For the next month, Su Fan remained hidden in that dark underground cave.

Although he had previously gathered a lot of supplies in the city, with his current appetite, these reserves wouldn't last long.

There was no other way; every few days he had to risk sneaking into the mountains to search for food.

Perhaps it was the devastation brought by the invasion of foreign lands, but now there is not a single large animal left in the mountains.

They may have either migrated away in large numbers at the beginning of the disaster, or they may have become food for the strange beasts.

Fortunately, there are many mushrooms and wild fruits growing in the mountains and forests. If you are lucky, you can even catch a few large worms, which can barely satisfy your empty stomach.

To Su Fan's delight, the injuries to his meridians and dantian had finally stabilized completely. This news flowed through his heart like a warm current, allowing him to breathe a long sigh of relief.

Even without healing pills, the injuries can be slowly restored by the body's own blood and energy.

Of course, if one stays in this mortal world without spiritual resources, the recovery speed will definitely be quite slow.

However, Su Fan's soul injury was still very serious.

Every cultivator in the cultivation world knows that any damage to the soul is a huge problem, and even the pills that can heal the soul are priceless treasures.

The most important thing right now is to open my storage ring.

His storage ring contained all sorts of top-grade healing pills, but since he couldn't open it, he could only look at all those treasures with longing.

While Su Fan was struggling to lie low in the underground cave, countless flying beasts were circling above the desolate city where he had once lived.

Moreover, centered on this city, squadrons of flying beasts patrolled the airspace for thousands of miles around, their sharp eyes sweeping over every inch of land.

This area was originally the rear area of ​​the inter-realm battlefield, and it was inhabited almost entirely by ordinary human beings who had no power to resist.

The loss of four flying beasts is undoubtedly a great humiliation for these invaders from other realms.

Therefore, in recent days, a large number of flying beasts have returned from the front lines and launched a carpet sweep of this area, not even sparing the nearby mountain range.

But after searching for more than half a month, they couldn't find even a trace of a mortal, and in the end, they had to give up in frustration.

Just as Su Fan had predicted, the alien beasts had strengthened their defenses in the area, sending out a large number of flying beasts to patrol continuously.

After hiding in that underground cave for several months, Su Fan once again embarked on an unknown journey.

Instead of entering the open plains, he took advantage of the dense forests to trek along the edge of the mountains with great difficulty.

The moonlight fell like a thin veil from the night sky, and the hazy night was like black satin washed with clear water, deep and mysterious.

At this moment, a tall, thin figure was struggling through the dense forest.

He carried several enormous bags on his back that were disproportionate to his size, yet his steps showed no sign of faltering. Even when he encountered steep slopes or boulders blocking his path, he could leap over them with ease.

If they encounter tangled thorns and withered vines, they can draw a sharp claw several feet long from their waist and easily carve a path with a few swings.

This man was Su Fan. He had been walking along the edge of this mountain range for over a year.

“Huahua…Huahua…”

Suddenly, a clear sound of water came from ahead, and a glint flashed in Su Fan's eyes. He couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Arriving at a stream ahead, he first unloaded his backpack and placed it aside, then jumped into the stream to wash himself thoroughly.

At this moment, he looked quite disheveled: his hair was like a tangled clump of withered grass, his beard had grown so long that it covered half of his face, and his robe was so tattered that it looked like a rag. At first glance, he looked exactly like a wild man from the mountains.

After washing up, Su Fan picked up several water containers, which were jars, water bags, and other items he had collected in that city.

After filling them all with clean water, he shouldered his pack again and continued on his way.

In fact, Su Fan had already sensed a faint trace of spiritual energy in the air two months ago.

That faint wisp of spiritual energy was like a ray of hope, greatly invigorating him.

This means we are getting closer and closer to the spirit realm.

However, after entering the edge of the Spirit Realm, the flying beasts patrolling the sky became more and more numerous. Even in the deep mountains and dense forests, their figures could often be seen circling in the sky.

Therefore, Su Fan had no choice but to change to traveling at night and hiding during the day, trying to make the most of the darkness to travel.

He didn't even dare to walk along the edge of the mountain anymore. Those flying beasts not only had amazing eyesight, but their sensitivity to the human presence was also beyond imagination. Even at an altitude of several thousand meters, they could clearly pinpoint the human traces on the ground.

Fortunately, in the primeval forest deep in the mountains, layers upon layers of leaves intertwine to form a natural barrier, completely blocking out the sunlight, making it an excellent hiding place.

Su Fan walked until the eastern horizon began to lighten with the first hint of dawn before stopping to catch his breath.

As dawn approached, he should find a secluded spot to spend the long day and quietly wait for night to fall again.

Su Fan looked around at his surroundings, trying to find a suitable tree hollow or cave.

Just as he had walked a short distance forward, his ears suddenly twitched slightly, catching a faint sound coming from ahead.

He felt a chill run down his spine and quickly walked to the foot of a towering ancient tree. He gently placed his backpack on the ground and climbed to the top of the tree in a few swift movements.

He looked through the gaps in the branches and leaves in the direction from which the sound came.

The sight before him caused his pupils to shrink instantly. In the distance, several bursts of magical light stood out against the gray sky, flickering like burning starlight.

After a moment's thought, Su Fan leaped down from the treetop, picked up his pack again, and cautiously made his way forward.

As the distance closed, the roars of the strange beasts and the booming of spells became increasingly clear.

It's obvious that human cultivators are engaged in a fierce battle with flying beasts ahead.

When he finally reached the edge of the battlefield, Su Fan unloaded his baggage again, nimbly climbed up another ancient tree, and stared intently through the gaps in the branches.

Several strange flying beasts with wingspans of over ten feet were circling in the sky, taking turns swooping down, their sharp claws and teeth gleaming coldly.

From time to time, beams of magical light shot into the sky from the dense forest on the ground, bombarding the strange beasts.

What puzzled Su Fan was that those flying beasts did not use any supernatural abilities; they attacked the ground cultivators entirely with their powerful physical strength.

The spells unleashed by the human cultivators only caused ripples when they struck the creatures, without causing any real damage.

He suddenly remembered that when he dissected those flying beasts earlier, he did not find any beast crystals inside them.

At the time, there was suspicion that these exotic beasts might not have the ability to use supernatural powers, but their physical strength was not particularly amazing either.

Back then, the stones I threw with just my physical strength could easily break through their defenses.

Witnessing the battlefield firsthand, Su Fan felt a sudden sense of clarity.

It seems that these exotic beasts from other lands have a strong immunity to human magic.

This situation is definitely not good news for the cultivators of this plane. If the spells and magical treasures of human cultivators cannot cause any real harm to these alien beasts from other realms, then the human cultivators of this world will be completely at a disadvantage.

Thinking of this, Su Fan hesitated, weighing in his mind whether he should get involved in this great battle.

The flying beasts ahead were no different from the ones he had killed in that city.

With his current strength, if he were to join the battle now, his life would not be in danger.

After a moment's hesitation, Su Fan finally decided to make a move.

It's rare to encounter human cultivators from this plane, so I must make contact with them no matter what.

At least we can get as much information as possible about the current situation of the interdimensional war from them.

Another reason he hoped to obtain some healing pills from the cultivators of this realm, otherwise it would be a long time before his injuries recovered.

Never mind, let's just do it!

Su Fan leaped down from the towering ancient tree and crouched low, cautiously making his way towards the battlefield.

As he quietly approached the edge of the battlefield, he discovered that the human cultivators on the ground were now in an extremely passive situation.

More than ten human cultivators divided into three groups, relying on the dense primeval forest to build a defensive line, and struggled to resist the successive attacks of several flying beasts.

However, those flying beasts were too ferocious, and every time they swooped down, they posed a huge threat to these human cultivators.

What's even more deadly is that the spells and magical artifacts cast by these human cultivators cause negligible damage to the alien beasts.

At this moment, the dense forest was littered with the corpses of many human cultivators.

Judging from this situation, they won't be able to hold out for long; the situation is already extremely precarious.

"Wow..."

At this moment, a shrill screech suddenly pierced the sky, and a flying beast with a wingspan of several meters swooped down like a black lightning bolt, heading straight for the human cultivators who were huddled together in defense.

It's now!

A cold glint flashed in Su Fan's eyes. He suddenly pulled a beast claw from his waist, and using the cover of the dense forest, he leaped up and swung the beast claw out fiercely.

"Whoosh..."

The ferocious claws, several feet long, slashed towards the flying beast with a sharp whistling sound, like a black streak of light.

When the claws sliced ​​through the air, they created tangible ripples of sound, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle.

The flying beast, which had just soared into the air, was struck hard by the beast's claws before it could even react.

"Pfft..."

The beast's claws, several feet long, instantly pierced into the monster's head, almost splitting off most of its enormous head.

"Boom..."

The enormous beast, with a wingspan of several meters, suddenly lost its balance and plummeted from the sky. After rolling several times on the ground, it crashed heavily into an ancient tree a few meters in front of Su Fan and finally fell silent.

"唳...唳..."

Upon seeing one of their kind slain by a human cultivator on the ground, the remaining flying beasts in the sky let out mournful cries. They then folded their wings and swooped down with overwhelming ferocity, heading straight for Su Fan's location.

Su Fan glanced up at the swooping beast, then walked forward without changing his expression. He pulled the bloody claw from the beast's dead head, and the hot blood dripping from the claw tip created small dark craters on the ground.

Just then, a series of urgent shouts came from the dense forest nearby.

Su Fan listened intently, but couldn't understand a single word. He figured it was the human cultivators who were issuing a warning.

But Su Fan had no time to pay attention to any of that. He quickly drew another beast claw from his waist, holding a sharp blade in each hand, and stared intently at the approaching dark figure in the sky.

At this moment, a flying beast swooped down almost vertically, heading straight for Su Fan.

"Boom...bang..."

Just then, several beams of magical light suddenly shot up from the dense forest beside them, like sharp swords, and attacked the swooping beast.

Multicolored sparks exploded in the dim sky, like fleeting fireworks, dazzling yet harmless.

The dense spells and magical artifacts struck the strange beast, only causing a few scales to tremble before vanishing without a trace, like mud sinking into the sea.

Su Fan smiled bitterly to himself. It seemed that his guess was indeed correct. The methods of human cultivators were almost ineffective against these alien beasts.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he hurled the beast claw in his hand at the nearest flying beast.

"puff……"

The ferocious claw slashed precisely into the beast's chest. The creature let out a shrill wail, struggled in the air for a few moments, and then crashed headfirst into the depths of the dense forest.

Immediately afterwards, Su Fan flipped his wrist, and another beast claw shot out like an arrow, accurately piercing the throat of another strange beast.

In a short time, after losing two members of their kind, the remaining flying beasts finally felt fear.

They flapped their fleshy wings with strange cries and soared into the sky without regard for anything else, disappearing into the dark clouds in an instant, not even bothering to take the corpses of their companions with them.

Su Fan glanced in the direction where the flying beasts had disappeared, then walked to the two beasts and pulled out their claws, tucking them into his waistband.

At this moment, with the sound of footsteps, more than ten human cultivators came to his side and bowed to him.

The leader, a Nascent Soul cultivator, even smiled and said something to him.

Unfortunately, Su Fan couldn't understand anything. Helpless, he could only point to his ear and shake his head at them.

Having understood his gestures, the Nascent Soul cultivator hurriedly started making random hand gestures as well.

This left Su Fan even more confused; there was simply no way to communicate with him.

But seeing how enthusiastic these people were, he could only smile and nod at them, and then he followed suit and made random hand gestures.

Su Fan could tell that these human cultivators were not from the front lines, but rather had not had time to evacuate to the human-controlled area.

Unable to cross the defenses of the alien beasts, they could only hide deep in the mountains to evade their pursuit.

Because several flying beasts had escaped, they dared not linger there. Before long, countless beasts would arrive.

After Su Fan and the others quickly cleaned up the battlefield, he left the forest with the group.
