Walking back to the forest, Jiang Qiong and others found an open area to rest for a while.

Then, the three of them continued on their journey.

But he didn't leave for long.

Suddenly, a burst of crisp hoof sounds broke the silence of the forest.

"what sound?"

The three of them stopped vigilantly and looked forward, only to see a group of strange deer appearing in the valley not far away.

These deer exude an emerald-like luster all over their bodies and appear particularly dazzling under the sunlight. They are the emerald elks.

There are about twenty or thirty emerald elks in this group, led by a sturdy male elk. Its antlers are like jade carvings, crystal clear, and like forked corals, beautiful and hard, with a mysterious rune glow faintly flowing on the horns.

The fur of the deer is like the finest jade, rich and pure green without a trace of other colors, reflecting charming brilliance in the sunlight, as if every hair was polished from jade.

Their eyes are like deep emeralds, clear and bright, with agility and alertness in their eyes. Their limbs are slender and powerful, their hooves are small and tough, and they run lightly and quickly, like green elves jumping in the mountains and forests.

The Emerald Elk is an extremely rare species of spiritual deer. They usually live in the depths of this mysterious forest and like to live in groups.

They are gentle in nature and generally do not actively attack other creatures, but if they feel threatened, they will burst out with powerful strength.

They feed on magical herbs and fairy fruits in the mountains and forests, and have extremely high requirements for food, so their habitats are mostly places with abundant spiritual energy and lush vegetation.

Moreover, the Emerald Elk has a certain spirituality and can sense changes in the surrounding environment and the approach of danger. They can also communicate with each other in special ways and cooperate with each other tacitly.

Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue were deeply attracted by this group of beautiful and mysterious emerald elks.

"This group of elk looks pretty good. How about we transform into them and follow them for a while?"

"Row!"

Driven by curiosity, Jiang Qiong and others decided to use the magic of illusion to transform into the appearance of emerald elk, blend into the herd, and follow them on their migration, wanting to see where these magical creatures were going. At the same time, they also wanted to find a chance to steal some young emerald elk.

The three of them carefully performed the illusion technique, trying their best to imitate the appearance and breath of the Emerald Elk.

Jiang Qiong transformed into an adult male deer. Although his antlers were not as perfect as those of a real Emerald Elk, they were good enough to be mistaken for the real thing.

Lang Nana turned into a female deer, with a graceful figure and emerald fur that shone softly in the sun.
Nan Fengxue transformed into a young stag, his eyes full of agility and curiosity, just like a real emerald elk.

After the three of them successfully blended into the herd of deer, they followed them on their migration. The deer moved through the mountains and forests, their steps light and orderly, like a well-trained army.

Along the way, the emerald elks stopped from time to time to nibble on the fresh spiritual grass on the roadside or drink water from the clear stream. Jiang Qiong and others also imitated them, trying not to reveal any flaws.

As time went by, the deer gradually went deeper into the mountains and forests. The scenery along the way became more beautiful and mysterious, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants blooming and emitting waves of tempting fragrance.

A thin layer of mist permeated the mountains and forests, adding a dreamlike feeling to the entire migration journey.

During migration, emerald elk show a high level of teamwork. When encountering steep slopes, the strong male elk will jump up first, and then use their antlers to pull the young and weak elk up;

When encountering a river, adult elk will first go into the river to test the water depth and flow speed, and then lead the young elk to cross the river safely.

They also comb each other's hair to show their care and love for each other. This heartwarming scene moved Jiang Qiong and others.

However, the good times did not last long. When the deer herd migrated to a valley, they were suddenly attacked by a group of wolf monsters.

There were about a dozen wolf demons in this group. They were huge in size, with jet-black fur and fierce red light flashing in their eyes.

The wolf demons had obviously been lying in ambush here, waiting for their prey to arrive.

When the wolf demons saw the deer herd, they immediately let out a series of eerie howls and then pounced on the deer like black lightning.

The emerald elks were suddenly thrown into chaos, but they soon calmed down. The male elks quickly formed a circle, protecting the female elks and the fawns in the middle, and then pointed their sharp antlers at the attacking wolf demon.

Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue also realized that the situation was critical. They decided to temporarily put aside the idea of ​​stealing the young emerald elk and help the deer herd repel the wolf demon first.

Jiang Qiong rushed out first, and his antlers stabbed at a wolf demon like a sharp blade. The wolf demon dodged flexibly, then opened its bloody mouth and bit Jiang Qiong. Jiang Qiong quickly dodged sideways, then kicked the wolf demon in the abdomen with his hind legs, kicking the wolf demon flying backwards.

Lang Nana cast a spell, and icy blue rays of light shot out from her antlers, instantly freezing several wolf monsters in place.

But the strength of the wolf monsters should not be underestimated. They quickly broke free from the ice and continued to pounce on the deer.

Nan Fengxue controlled the giant tripod and smashed it towards the wolf monsters.

The giant cauldron, with its powerful force, smashed a wolf demon into a bloody mess, but the other wolf demons took the opportunity to bypass the giant cauldron and rushed to the back of the deer herd.

The emerald elks were not to be outdone. They used their sharp hooves and antlers to engage in a fierce fight with the wolf demon.

The stags bravely rushed towards the wolf demon, using their antlers to collide with the wolf demon's fangs, making a crisp sound;

The female deer assisted, kicking the wolf demon in the eyes and abdomen with their hooves.

Although the fawns were young, they did not retreat. They followed the adult elks closely, making frightened cries from time to time.

With the joint efforts of Jiang Qiong and others and the Emerald Elks, the wolf monsters gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Their attacks became increasingly weaker, and their casualties grew heavier.

Finally, after a fierce battle, the wolf demons saw that the situation was not good and fled with their tails between their legs.

As the wolf demon retreated, a burst of joyful calls rang out among the deer herd.

The emerald elks looked at Jiang Qiong and others with grateful eyes. They seemed to have noticed the unusualness of these three "kinds".

Jiang Qiong and others also breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at the emerald elk in front of them and felt an inexplicable emotion in their hearts.

After this battle, Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue gained a deeper understanding of the Emerald Elk.

After that, the deer continued their migration journey.

Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue were still mixed in with the deer. As the deer followed their steps, the surrounding scenery became more and more mysterious.

The air was filled with rich spiritual energy, which turned into wisps of mist and lingered around everyone, as if they were in a fairyland.

Finally, after crossing a deep canyon, the deer arrived at their destination.

It was a huge basin surrounded by mountains, with peaks towering into the clouds, like a natural barrier. In the basin, a clear river meandered through, and the river water sparkled in the sunlight, like a flowing silver ribbon.

On both sides of the river are large tracts of magical grass, which sway gracefully, emitting charming glow and alluring fragrance.

The grass is dotted with various kinds of fairy fruits, which are plump and brightly colored, making people salivate.

In the center of the basin, there is a huge ancient tree. Its trunk is so thick that it takes more than a dozen people to hug it.

The branches stretch out in all directions like giant arms, blocking out the sky and the sun.

The ancient trees are hung with exotic fruits and glittering leaves, each leaf is like a fine work of art, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

The deer seemed particularly excited when they arrived here.

They ran happily, enjoyed the delicious food on the magical grass, and drank water and played leisurely by the river.

Jiang Qiong and the other two were also shocked by the beautiful scenery before them. They stood quietly by, feeling the unique charm of this magical land.

At this time, the leading stag slowly walked up to Jiang Qiong, rubbed him gently with its head, then turned and walked towards the edge of the basin.

The stag's behavior seemed to be inviting Jiang Qiong and the others to follow it. Jiang Qiong and the other two looked at each other and followed it.

The stag led them to a mountain wall. It wandered in front of the wall for a few times, and then gently touched the wall with its antlers.

Suddenly, a hidden cave appeared on the mountain wall, with a faint light flickering around it. Xiong Lu walked in first, and Jiang Qiong and others followed without hesitation.

Once inside the cave, it was pitch black, but as the emerald light from the stag lit up, the surroundings gradually became clearer.

They found themselves in a vast underground labyrinth with intricate passages and walls covered with strange runes and patterns.

These runes and patterns sparkled with mysterious light under the illumination of the stag, as if telling ancient stories.

The floor of the passage was paved with a smooth stone that emitted a faint chill.

Water drips from the wall from time to time, making crisp dripping sounds that echo in the silent maze, adding a sense of mystery to the atmosphere.

There was a faint fishy smell in the maze, which made people feel uncomfortable.

They walked carefully along the passage, and suddenly, a low roar came from the front.

The deer stopped and looked ahead vigilantly. Jiang Qiong and the other two were also ready for battle.

After a while, a group of monkey monsters appeared before them.

These ape monsters are huge in size, covered with black hair with some dark red lines in their hair.

Their eyes flashed with ferocity, and they held huge wooden sticks in their hands, which exuded a rotten smell.

The leading ape monster was even larger, and its hair was as hard as steel needles. It had a ferocious smile on its face and let out an angry roar, leading the other ape monsters to rush towards Jiang Qiong and the others.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiong immediately rushed forward, and his antlers instantly became extremely sharp, like a blade.

He rushed towards a monkey monster and stabbed it in the chest with his antlers.

The monkey monster waved a wooden stick to resist, but with a "crack", the wooden stick was broken by the deer antlers, and Jiang Qiong's deer antlers pierced into the body of the monkey monster.

The monkey monster let out a scream, fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then became motionless.

Lang Nana was casting a spell on the side. She was muttering something, and the temperature around her dropped rapidly. The water vapor in the air condensed into ice spikes and flew towards the monkey monster.

The ice spikes fell on the monkey monsters like raindrops, instantly cutting wounds on their bodies and bleeding profusely.

Nan Fengxue controlled the giant tripod, suspended it in the air, and then smashed it towards the monkey monster.

The giant tripod smashed onto the head of an ape monster with great force, smashing its head into pieces.

The monkey monsters were caught off guard by the sudden attack, but they did not retreat. Instead, they rushed towards Jiang Qiong and others even more frantically.

During the fierce battle, Jiang Qiong discovered that although these monkey monsters were ferocious, their attack methods were relatively simple, and there seemed to be a lack of effective coordination between their actions.

He immediately told Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue about his discovery. The three of them began to adjust their tactics, cooperate with each other, and gradually gained the upper hand.

Jiang Qiong attracted the attacks of the monkey monsters and kept moving among them, dodging the attacks of wooden sticks with his agile body, while looking for opportunities to counterattack with his antlers.

Lang Nana continued to cast spells from a distance, using ice spikes and cold air to interfere with the actions of the monkey monsters, creating opportunities for Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue.

Nan Fengxue controlled the giant tripod and attacked the monkey monsters from the air. Whenever a monkey monster wanted to approach Jiang Qiong, he would use the giant tripod to repel it.

After a fierce battle, the number of monkey monsters decreased and their attacks became weaker and weaker.

In the end, only the giant monkey monster at the head was still struggling.

This monkey monster had been seriously injured, with wounds all over its body and blood constantly flowing out.

But it still did not give up. With a crazy light flashing in its eyes, it rushed towards Jiang Qiong, waving a wooden stick.

Jiang Qiong was not afraid at all. He concentrated his attention and looked at the monkey monster rushing towards him.

When the monkey monster was only a few steps away from him, he suddenly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack of the wooden stick, and then used all his strength to stab the monkey monster's throat with his deer antlers.

This attack condensed all of Jiang Qiong's strength. The deer antlers directly pierced the throat of the monkey monster. The monkey monster let out a desperate roar and fell to the ground with a bang.

With the fall of the last monkey monster, the battle finally ended.

Jiang Qiong and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. They all suffered some minor injuries, but fortunately, nothing serious.

The stag walked up to them and nuzzled them with his head, seemingly expressing his appreciation for them.

The stag then continued to lead them through the maze.

After the battle just now, the fishy smell in the passage became stronger, but they did not retreat.

Led by the stag, they finally walked out of the maze and came to a more mysterious place.

This is a huge underground cave. The top of the cave is extremely high and the end is invisible. (End of this chapter)
