Amidst the black fog, a ray of light flashed from Blue Demon's hand and quickly spread in all directions.

Seeing the light disappear, Ergou asked nervously: "Blue Demon, the light has disappeared, will the elves here show up?"

"Don't worry, as long as there are elves here, they will respond to my call and come."

"When will it come?"

"This... I can't guarantee it..."

Hearing this, everyone was speechless.

Just then, Heiyou suddenly attacked them.

The distance between the two sides quickly closed, and everyone could clearly see the face of the strange beast.

This strange beast is as big as a wild boar, but its body is not as strong as a wild boar. It has two sharp horns on its head, which are long and curved upwards. You can faintly see the cold light flashing on them. You can tell at a glance that it should not be underestimated.

More than a dozen strange beasts rushed towards them together. Gu Sheng quickly stood in front of them, stretched out his hand to call for Xiao Ding, and used his divine power to protect everyone in the middle.

When everyone raised their swords, roars were heard outside the small tripod. Dozens of strange beasts suddenly lined up in a row, roaring and attacking with their sharp horns.

This strange beast was extremely powerful, and its sharp horns seemed to be made of iron. More than a dozen strange beasts exerted their strength at the same time, and the divine power on the small tripod created a visible gap with the naked eye.

"Brother Sheng, what should we do now?!"

"Kill them."

As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, the strange beast used its sharp horns to pry open a gap, roared, opened its big mouth, revealing two fangs, and looked like it was going to devour human bones.

Gu Sheng's face changed. He raised his wrist, took out the Fire Spirit Dagger, and stabbed it fiercely at the strange beast.

This was when he felt Gu Sheng's attack, he turned his body and actually confronted Gu Sheng's Fire Spirit Dagger with his sharp horns.

With a bang, sparks flew everywhere, and Gu Sheng's wrist was slightly numb from the shock, but the sharp horns of the strange beast were not hurt at all and were still emitting bursts of cold light!

Seeing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly took a step back and shouted, "Don't attack the sharp horns of the beast. The horns of the beast are extremely hard. Be careful of being attacked. Find other weaknesses as soon as possible."

Even his Fire Spirit Dagger couldn't cut through the sharp corners, let alone the weapons of others.

Looking at the roaring strange beast coming towards him, Gu Sheng examined it carefully.

In just a moment, Gu Sheng discovered something strange.

The strange beast roared and came, but its limbs were not fully relaxed. It moved its four hooves, but they were not fully opened. Instead, it protected the center of its abdomen faintly.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng's eyes lit up.

Seeing that the strange beast was approaching, he suddenly slid forward and fell to the ground. When he passed by the strange beast, he stabbed the Fire Spirit Dagger in his hand upward with force and easily pierced into the belly of the strange beast!

The moment the blood gushed out, Gu Sheng's eyes lit up.

He pulled the Fire Spirit Dagger hard, and the monster's belly was ripped open instantly, with its internal organs scattered all over the ground, and blood emitting a foul smell.

Gu Sheng clapped his hands on the ground and stood up instantly.

When he stood up, the strange beast had already fallen heavily to the ground.

"The monster's weak spot is in its abdomen. Everyone, attack its abdomen!"

Gu Sheng shouted, and Shi Lou and others were immediately surprised.

The roar of the strange beast continued, but the crowd no longer fought it head-on. Instead, they looked for opportunities to lie down and stab their weapons into its abdomen.

The strange beasts had sharp horns on their heads. When people were standing, their horns were extremely scary weapons, but when people lay down, they were at an angle where their horns could not reach them, greatly reducing the attack power of the strange beasts.

After finding its weakness, the men became more and more courageous as they killed it.

In just half an incense stick of time, all the strange beasts were lying in a pool of blood.

As everyone was gasping for breath, Gu Sheng suddenly walked forward and picked up a strange beast with one hand.

After looking at it again and again, a smile gradually appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Seeing him like this, Blue Demon also stepped forward.

"Gu Sheng, what are you doing? Are you planning to take these corpses? I've checked, and there's no medicinal value in the bodies of the strange beasts."

"I don't want what's inside it. I just want its fur and the horn on its head."

After saying that, Gu Sheng swung the Fire Spirit Dagger in his hand and directly cut off the sharp horns on the monster's head. He waved it in his hand a few times and found it particularly handy.

Turning the sharp horns into the shape of a dagger, Gu Sheng turned around and swung at the blue monster.

Feeling the cool air, Lan Yao was startled and stepped back quickly.

Looking at his frightened expression, Gu Sheng curled his lips again.

"Do you feel the harm of this thing?"

Finally understanding what he meant, Blue Demon nodded.

"I knew this horn was very powerful, but I only thought it could work on exotic beasts. I didn't expect it could work in our hands as well."

"It's powerful enough. It can work in anyone's hands. If this horn is made into a weapon, it will be more powerful than the weapons in Shilou and Ergou's hands."

Hearing this, Shilou and Ergou acted quickly and took great effort to get rid of a few horns.

Gu Sheng smiled, and directly used the sharp horn in his hand to cut off several other sharp horns, and also skinned the monster.

Seeing the blood on his hands, Ergou couldn't help but grimace.

"Brother Sheng, what are these furs used for?"

"Once the temperature in the mountains drops, we can wear it to keep warm. If the exotic animals can survive here with it, it will definitely be useful to us."

"Brother Sheng, we can get this down. You take a break and we'll do it."

Several people stepped forward quickly and deftly skinned more than a dozen exotic beasts.

Gu Sheng released spiritual energy from his hands, cleaned the fur, and then tried to put it on.

Sure enough, as soon as the fur was put on his body, he felt a lot warmer, and there was also a little more of the scent of the exotic beast on his body.

His heart moved and Gu Sheng's eyes lit up.

"Everyone puts these furs on themselves."

"Brother Sheng, we are not cold yet."

"The fur has the scent of strange beasts on it. If we put it on, it can prevent many attacks."

Hearing this, Shilou said nothing and quickly put both skins on himself.

Seeing him like this, Huang Shan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"There's an extra one here, put it on."

"Come on, this leather is too heavy. Three of them would probably crush me."

Seeing him shrugging his shoulders, Gu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After packing up their things, they continued to follow the map.

After walking for a while, they encountered a wild beast, but the beast just looked at them from a distance and did not come forward, and there was not even any murderous intent on its body.

Knowing that it was the fur on their bodies that worked, they were no longer timid and started to move forward much faster.

They spent two full days walking through the map of the three elders.

Gu Sheng didn't see any spiritual herbs, but Lan Yao did gain a lot.

Many of the flowers, plants and trees here are not found in other places, and there are countless medicinal herbs that are over a hundred years old. Lan Yao picked them as he walked, and the package he carried with him was already full.

As evening approached, everyone finally found a place to stay.

Lan Yao rummaged through his package for a while, took out some herbs and handed them to everyone.

"These herbs can restore strength very quickly, take them." After everyone reached out to take them, Huang Shan asked, "Brother Sheng, we have already visited all the locations on the map, what should we do next?"

"Up the mountain."

"Brother Sheng, the mountain should be more dangerous than here, right?"

"I don't know, maybe."

At this point, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow at him.

"Scared?"

"I'm not afraid, I just think I should be more prepared."

"How do you prepare?"

"Have a good sleep."

Pointing at his eyes, Huang Shan said helplessly: "I haven't slept for two days. I have been on the road all the time. My dark circles are almost falling to my feet."

Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help laughing.

In the past two days, in order not to alert the enemy, they have been suppressing their divine power and relying entirely on their physical strength to search for the spiritual herbs. Two nights without sleep and such high-intensity activities were indeed a test for them.

After Huang Shan said this, the others also felt exhausted.

Looking at everyone, Gu Sheng nodded.

"Huang Shan is right. If we want to be able to face greater challenges, we must have a good rest. First, take the herbs given by Lan Yao. We will adjust ourselves tonight. When we are ready, we can go up the mountain again."

With his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone formed a circle, Gu Sheng summoned the small tripod and let it float in the air to protect all of them.

After making sure everything was safe, they began to recover their strength.

Everyone spent the entire night adjusting themselves.

At dawn, Gu Sheng opened his eyes first. Seeing that the others were still recovering, he did not wake them up, but went to a nearby place alone.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up from afar, Gu Sheng discovered that there were three ways to go up the mountain.

After comparing these three roads repeatedly, he couldn't help but frowning.

The three roads look no different, but at the foot of the mountain you can see the black fog looming above, which shows that there must be a more powerful existence above, which is not a good thing for them.

Just as Gu Sheng was thinking about this, several rays of light suddenly fell beside him.

Realizing something, Gu Sheng immediately became alert. He turned his wrist and spiritual power flew out quickly.

Sensing the murderous aura from him, the spiritual light suddenly turned into mist, and then became solid in front of him.

Seeing that the elf had not yet completely transformed into a human form, Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you from the elves?"

"Yes, we felt the call of the powerful elves and came here to help. You have the aura of a powerful elf, but did you follow him all the way here?"

"Yes, I came here with Blue Demon."

Upon hearing Blue Demon's name, the elf in front of him suddenly began to bow.

Gu Sheng was startled and said hurriedly: "You don't have to be like this, I'm just his friend."

"We are not worshipping you, we are worshipping our Master."

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Um...Blue Demon and the others are over there. I'll take you there."

The elves nodded and followed him forward.

When Gu Sheng came back with the elves, Lan Yao had already woken up.

Perhaps because he didn't see him after waking up, Lan Yao seemed particularly irritable.

"Blue demon."

Gu Sheng shouted from a distance, and Lan Yao immediately turned around to look.

"Gu Sheng, where have you been so early in the morning? Can't you stop making people worry?!"

"I was just wandering around and happened to run into someone from your elf tribe."

Gu Sheng stepped aside, and Lan Yao's attention finally fell on his own people.

Seeing him, the elves saluted again.

The worry on Lan Yao's face instantly faded away, and he took on a bit of the aura of a superior.

"No need to be so polite. I have summoned you for two days. Why did you take so long to show up?"

"Sir, we rushed here after we sensed your call, but there are too many obstacles on this mountain. We need to break through many obstacles before we can arrive, which delayed us a bit."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly pointed to the side of the mountain and asked, "There are three roads over there, which one did you come from?"

When he asked this question, the elves seemed a little surprised.

"Did you know there are three ways up the mountain?"

"Yes, which way did you come from?"

"The one on the right is the only passable one. The other two roads are dead ends. Not only can you not get up the mountain, but you may also lose your life."

"why?"

"There is a tiger beast on the left road. It is extremely powerful. If you encounter it, you will definitely die. There is a demonic aura on the middle road. If you are entangled by it, you will die. Only the right road is passable."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng felt a little scared.

If he had not met the elves today, he would probably have taken the middle road.

He chose that road among the three. He originally wanted to explore the way for everyone, but he met the elves, so he temporarily suppressed this idea. Now it seems that the elves saved his life.

"Is the road on the right clear?"

After Blue Demon asked this question, the elves quickly shook their heads.

"It's not unobstructed. There are many ferocious beasts over there, but as long as you are lucky, there is still a chance to go up the mountain."

"Where do you live?"

"We live under a thousand-year-old tree halfway up the mountain. Because we are the elves of the mountain, our aura can blend in with this place. Most of the ferocious beasts will not embarrass us, but there are also some that are against us elves, so it took us some time."

After hearing his explanation, Lan Yao nodded thoughtfully.

"Gu Sheng, it seems that the road on the right is easier to go."

"Yes, it seems that the dangers we will face in the future are far more than we imagined."

At this point, Gu Sheng asked the elves: "You grew up in this mountain, do you know if there are any spiritual herbs on this mountain? Where do they grow specifically?"

After hearing his words, the elves gave a positive response.

"There are indeed spiritual herbs here, but they do not grow in the same place. They change their location every once in a while. We have tried to find them, but we have only sensed their aura and have never seen their true appearance. Because the spiritual herbs are powerful, only those who are destined to see them can see them. If you are not destined to see them, no matter how strong you are, it will not work. There are no people with destiny among us elves."

After thinking about it, Gu Sheng pursed his lips.

He has a spirit bead on him, which he obtained as a destined person. I just don't know whether this spirit bead is useful for the spiritual herbs.

Gu Sheng had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't say them out loud.

Now that they have learned a little about Akagi Peak, it would be better for them to explore it themselves. (End of this chapter)
