Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 112 A Sense of Unease

Second-tier spirit pets are indeed terrifying, but Yu Changsheng wasn't too worried. If he went all out, his chances of winning were still very high.

However, this is only the first round of the competition. If there is no need, there is no need to start a conflict with Miao Wenlun too early, and there is no conflict of interest between the two sides.

As Yu Changsheng ventured deeper into the forest, he discovered something different.

"This place is a bit too quiet."

Yu Changsheng frowned slightly and carefully observed his surroundings with his divine sense, but found nothing unusual.

"Generally speaking, especially in this kind of forest landscape with its rich spiritual energy, there should be more spiritual beasts the deeper you go. But as I've traveled, they've become increasingly scarce, and I've hardly seen any birds or beasts."

After a moment's thought, Yu Changsheng had a guess in his mind.

"Unless, there exists an extremely powerful being in this area, intimidating all directions and preventing any other spirit beasts from venturing here."

Thinking this, Yu Changsheng paused slightly, pondered for a moment, and then changed direction, heading towards the edge of the forest.

Although it's only the first round of the competition and there shouldn't be any uncontrollable dangers, it's always good to be cautious. It's best to avoid unnecessary risks if possible.

For some reason, he felt a vague sense of unease, a feeling that grew stronger the longer he stayed there.

As he walked towards the outer perimeter, the unease in his heart lessened somewhat, but it did not completely disappear, which made Yu Changsheng's expression slightly more serious.

His exploration of the forest over this period of time has yielded significant results. The area is sparsely populated, and spiritual herbs grow abundantly. At least for a while, he will not lack raw materials for alchemy, so there is no need for him to take any more risks.

With the support of a powerful divine sense, many dangers can be avoided in advance, but this does not mean that this place is completely safe. Along the way, Yu Changsheng saw the corpses of several disciples.

It could be a ferocious beast that suddenly attacks, or poisonous gas that appears out of nowhere, hidden in the clouds and mist, killing silently and invisibly.

About two hours later, Yu Changsheng made a discovery and immediately sped off to the east.

In his divine sense, there were some magical fluctuations to the east, and not just one; it seemed that several people were fighting.

As they approached, the images in their consciousness gradually became clearer and more detailed.

It was a huge cloud platform, pure white, square, about thirty feet long and wide, and three feet high. Mist shrouded it, and mysterious patterns were carved on its surface, shimmering with an inexplicable halo.

In addition, a thin layer of blue light enveloped the platform, preventing the surrounding mist, poisonous gas, and other things from intruding and creating a relatively safe space.

"Gimbal!"

At this moment, just as Yu Changsheng sensed, there were three people fighting each other on the cloud platform. They were all middle-aged, two men and one woman, and they were ruthless and showed no mercy. Judging from their appearance, they had been there for some time.

On the cloud platform, besides these three people, there was also the corpse of a disciple whose name was unknown. Judging from his death, his face was bluish-purple and his body was stiff, clearly indicating that he had been poisoned, which was quite tragic.

"Two are at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and one is at the eighth level of Qi Refining."

The two male disciples were at the ninth level of Qi Refining. One of them was wearing a blood-red robe and exuded a murderous aura. Beside him was the Fengyunyan, a first-tier ninth-level spirit pet!

The other male disciple looked younger, wearing a blue robe, and also had the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining. His spirit pet was a first-tier, ninth-level Earth-Splitting Rat.

On the other hand, the only female disciple was of decent appearance, with fair skin and well-maintained appearance, but her cultivation level was somewhat behind, only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

However, no one knows how it was trained. A large blue snake guarded its master, its body coiled around, its dark green eyes gleaming with a cold light, and it flicked its tongue slightly. Judging from its aura, it had already reached the peak of the first rank!

For this reason, the three of them were unable to defeat each other for a time. While testing each other's strength, they were also wary of each other, and none of them dared to go all out, thus forming a delicate balance.

"A first-tier peak Azure Serpent. Proficient in wood-attribute magic, with potent venom and an extremely strong physical body... wait, it seems to be a mutated species? Quite rare indeed."

Yu Changsheng, who was secretly observing, seemed to be deep in thought.

"If I could devour it, it would elevate my Crimson Serpent to a higher level!"

At this moment, the situation on the cloud platform subtly changed. Perhaps realizing that things couldn't continue like this, the disciple in the cyan robe spoke first, addressing the person in the blood-red robe:

"Senior Brother Chen, how about this? Let's join forces to get rid of this vile woman first, and then decide who owns the Cloud Platform. Otherwise, with such a venomous snake lurking nearby, who knows when it might deliver a fatal blow? That would be terrible."

After listening, the disciple in the blood-red robe pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly. He examined the Azure Serpent, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. After a long pause, he nodded gently and said in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"Alright, we'll do as you say and take care of this woman first. I never expected you, Wang Xinyu, to be so cunning. I underestimated you before."

Wang Xinyu's expression changed slightly. She subtly took half a step back, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and sneered:

"How shameful of you two! Two Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators bullying a mere Qi Refining Eighth Level girl like me, and you even have to team up! If word gets out, you'll be a laughingstock. What, are you afraid of me?"

"Think what you will. Weren't you pretty shameless when you ambushed Wang Ran? You didn't hesitate to attack your own comrade. If we're talking about shamelessness, who can compare to you?"

The man in the blood-red robe remained unmoved, pointed to the corpse lying not far from the cloud platform, and began to gather a murderous aura.

Wang Xinyu was speechless for a moment. The two exchanged a glance, and in an instant, they sprang into action, flying towards Wang Xinran. At the same time, their spirit pets, the Wind Goose and the Earth-Splitting Rat, also attacked the Azure Serpent in perfect unison.

"Wind-blown Wild Goose! Earth-Splitting Rat! Hold back the Azure Serpent!"

With two shouts, the next second, Feng Yunyan and Di Lieshu were locked in combat with Biluo Snake, only occasionally interfering with each other, without any real conflict breaking out.

Their idea was simple: the first-tier peak Biluo Serpent was a mutated species, and neither of them could defeat it if released alone. However, Wang Xinyu only had the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining. Therefore, they should first entangle the Biluo Serpent and eliminate its master first.

Especially for ordinary beast tamers, whose own combat strength is not particularly outstanding, they have the advantage of realm. With the two of them working together, they are confident that they can take down Wang Xinyu in no time. At that time, the Azure Serpent will naturally not be a threat.
