Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

This time we entered the Demon Gold Mountains during the period when demonic energy was erupting. And unlike previous eruptions, many magical beasts living deep in the mountains appeared on the periphery.

As Ye Ming and his two companions advanced along the way, they encountered a wave of magical beasts almost every few dozen miles. At first, they were only low-level magical beasts such as the Magic Crow and the Magic Peak. These magical beasts that were not yet in the Spiritualization Stage did not require Ye Ming to take action at all, and Yue Zong and Xian Xian easily dealt with them.

When they went hundreds of miles deep, high-level magical beasts above the level of Divine Transformation began to appear, and the further they went in, the higher the cultivation level of the magical beasts became.

In an open area, two several-meter-tall, black bear-like monsters were waving their four huge hands quickly, and countless claws that could break through the air appeared out of thin air.

But a black strange blade, looming in the void, suddenly appeared behind the monster. With two "puffs" and "puffs", the two monsters, which seemed to have thick skin and flesh, paused and were pierced through by the strange blade.

The black bear monster waved its arms a few times due to inertia, and then its entire body fell to the ground with a bang.

Ye Ming skillfully commanded the Magic Dragon Blade to cut open the belly of the monster, took out the magic core inside, and then floated away.

Above a grayish-white forest, a group of hundreds of black unicorn-like strange birds came towards Ye Ming and his two companions with great momentum.

The size of these demonic birds was only a few feet at a time, while the largest was several meters long. Under the command of a strange bird at the Refining Void level, they rushed forward and wanted to tear Ye Ming and the other two into pieces.

But Ye Ming pushed his hands forward, and a sea of ​​silver fire roared out. The extreme coldness froze his heart, and with a few "crackling" sounds, all the demon birds were frozen in it.

Ye Ming pressed one hand on the ice and shook it lightly. The entire huge piece of ice, along with the corpse of the demon bird inside, shattered into powder, leaving only demon cores of different sizes in its place.

In an open area, a dark hill collapsed in the midst of thousands of rays of light, smashing the five Void Refinement Stage demon leopards below into minced meat.

Ye Ming raised his hand and took back the Yuanci Mountain. The mountain disappeared in a flash of black light. At the same time, five egg-sized crystal cores emitting pure demonic energy appeared in Ye Ming's hand.

"How far is it to the destination?" Ye Ming asked calmly after playing with a few magic cores for a while.

"Senior Ye, at the current speed, we will arrive in another half a day." Yue Zong said respectfully, with an expression of extraordinary awe.

At this moment, he held a white ball in his hand, releasing a layer of misty white wind blades to protect him and prevent the erosion of evil spirits.

It was already the third day since they came in. They encountered many magical beasts along the way. Not to mention others, there were more than ten or twenty of them at the Nascent Soul stage alone.

There are those from the early stage of refining the void to the late stage of refining the void. In the eyes of experienced people like Yue Zong, those famous and extremely powerful monsters could only last three or four rounds at most before being killed by Ye Ming.

Ye Ming led them almost all the way here. The journey that was originally estimated to take seven or eight days has now taken only three days and they are almost there. This shocked him from the bottom of his heart.

"Senior Ye, I have an impression of this place. I saw the big mountain in front last time. It is indeed only a thousand miles away from here!" Xianxian's joyful voice sounded.

The woman was wearing a light red battle armor, and on her shoulder appeared a strange bird that was completely black but had a fiery red beak and golden eyes. It was her magical pet, the Magic Smoke Bird.

Ye Ming looked in the direction Xianxian pointed as he spoke, and saw a low mountain range several dozen miles away. But somewhere protruding, there stood a mountain with a peculiar shape, which looked like an elephant from a distance.

"Brother Yue, we don't need you to lead the way on the rest of the journey, so just rest nearby for a while. Senior Ye and I are going to go there first. We will be back in half a day at the least, and three or four days at the most. If we really don't come back after the deadline, don't worry about us, just leave on your own." Xianxian suddenly turned around and said to Yue Zong with a smile.

Then he took out a turquoise long-necked bottle.

"This is what I promised. Brother Yue, please keep the remaining half bottle of Cuizhi Spiritual Liquid."

Yue Zong's eyes lit up, he took such a big risk and led people into the Demon Gold Mountains during the eruption of demonic energy, just for this thing.

He took it, opened the bottle cap, smelled it, and examined it carefully.

In a moment, a happy smile appeared on this person's face.

"Since Fairy Xian is so generous, I will be lazy for once. Goodbye!" Yue Zong flipped his palm, took Xiping in his hand, then clasped his fists and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Ye Ming called him.

"Please give me your instructions, senior." Yue Zong stopped.

"You don't have to wait for us, just leave now. Remember, don't delay on the way, or you will lose your life, don't blame me for not reminding you." Ye Ming said in a deep voice. "Senior, are you referring to those monsters that appeared here abnormally?" Yue Zong asked.

Ye Ming smiled but said nothing.

"Yes, I understand. I will leave the mountain immediately!" Yue Zong understood in his heart. He had realized the seriousness of the matter a long time ago. Now it was confirmed by Ye Ming's mouth. He knew that something must have happened in the Demon Gold Mountains.

So he flew back and forth without hesitation, and finally disappeared over a hill in a flash.

"Does senior have any premonition?" Xianxian couldn't help but ask at this time.

"Don't you think that the number of seventh, eighth and ninth level monsters from the upper tribe that I killed along the way is a bit too many?" Ye Ming asked back.

"It's really abnormal! Logically speaking, even if the demonic energy erupts, it would be a big deal if there are one or two demon beasts of this level of cultivation within this distance, but now..." Xianxian also knew the situation, but she had witnessed Ye Ming's powerful strength and thought that it was no big deal.

"There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, these monsters were driven out by the more advanced monsters deep in the mountains. Moreover, I guess this is not only the case on the road we are taking, there must be a large number of high-level monsters in other places."

"Senior, you are talking about those holy-level monsters, but why do they do this?" Xianxian was puzzled.

"The Zhixian that escaped here is not only useful to us cultivators, but also to high-level monsters. With so many people coming into Leiyun Town, as long as one or two die, the news of Zhixian will definitely reach the holy-level monsters. Therefore, the monsters we met on the road are most likely sent out to kill outsiders like us." Ye Ming said affirmatively.

"Ah, this, this is good for us..." Xianxian's face changed drastically.

"Hey, of the thirty or so people in Leiyun Town, I wonder how many are left now? But don't worry, we will go directly to find the injured demon ape. The holy-level demon beasts deep in the mountains will not be able to find this place in a short time. Lead the way!"

"Okay, senior, follow me." Xianxian took a deep breath and flew towards the mountains in front with a very solemn expression.

Ye Ming nodded, and without saying a word, he followed behind.

Just as Ye Ming said, at this moment, scenes of slaughter were being staged in various places in the Magic Gold Mountains. The aliens who came in this time came in with hope to find Zhixian, but most of them were killed in a short time. The few who survived were also scared and fled to the exit desperately.

And these magical beasts that came out to hunt down everyone were almost all subordinates of a monster in the fusion stage that looked like an iron-winged eagle.

Deeper in the mountains, there lived several fusion-stage monsters such as the Multi-Eyed Demon and the Blood Demon. However, these monsters did not come out in person. They were all busy preparing various sacrifices or gifts, as if they were waiting for someone.

……

In an inconspicuous mountain range, a strange bird with a fiery red beak and golden eyes was flying up and down, passing through the peaks.

Ye Ming and Xianxian followed closely behind the bird.

Suddenly, the strange bird flew to a seemingly ordinary mountain, folded its wings, and circled forward, making a clear sound from its mouth.

Xianxian's eyes lit up and she said happily: "The entrance has been found."

Afterwards, the woman urged her escape light to fly around the mountain several times, and finally stopped somewhere on the mountainside. She revealed her figure and looked intently at something.

Ye Ming, with golden light, floated to the side of the woman and looked in the direction she was looking.

All I saw before me was a seemingly ordinary cliff, over a hundred feet high, gray and smooth. Apart from some black air floating nearby, there was nothing unusual about it.

However, when a blue light flashed in his eyes, his expression changed, as if he saw something.

At this moment, Xianxian let out a low cry, and the Demon Smoke Bird, which was originally circling in the air, immediately rushed down and shot towards the cliff like a crossbow arrow.

With a muffled "puff" sound, the seemingly extremely hard stone wall began to ripple in circles the moment it came into contact with the Magic Smoke Bird. Then the surface blurred slightly and turned into a layer of thick, lifeless black fog.
