Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"What amazing martial arts...!"

Seeing the black and white beams of light instantly shatter the ghostly fox spirits attacking from all sides, Lu Feng, who was watching the battle from the shadows, also raised an eyebrow. The next moment, a question arose in his mind, "Something's not right! This woman is just like that guy named Bai Ze. She clearly didn't have any Yuan Power aura on her body before, but now her strength has suddenly surged..."

"Could it be that these two people used some special method to deliberately disguise themselves as defenseless ordinary people? But what's the point of doing that...?"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but stroke his chin, lost in thought.

Swish!

At this moment, the ornate curtains inside the bridal sedan chair were suddenly lifted, and a slender, graceful young woman in white slowly stepped out. Her delicate face remained calm and serene, and she held a black and white talisman in the index finger of her right hand.

In addition, the Yuan Power aura on the white-clad girl's body was also rapidly decreasing. In a short while, she fell from the Yuan Sea Realm level all the way down to the weakest Body Refinement Realm, until she finally dissipated completely, becoming almost no different from an ordinary mortal!

Clearly, his ability to defeat the sneak attack of a group of ghostly foxes was not due to his personal strength, but rather to the strange black and white talisman in his hand.

"Young Miss, are you alright?!"

Seeing Bai Qianqian suddenly leave the bridal sedan chair, Bai Ze also withdrew from the battle and immediately stepped in front of her, his face full of tension and trepidation.

After all, the other party is the eldest daughter of the Bai family, whose status and position are extremely noble. Moreover, she is passing through the Valley of Death to go to Wuyi City to form a marriage alliance with the Liu family, which is also quite powerful. There is no room for any mistakes!

For Bai Ze, it wouldn't matter if he himself died, but Bai Qianqian in front of him absolutely could not be harmed, otherwise even if he returned to his family alive, he would be in deep trouble!

"I'm fine."

"On the contrary, it's these ghostly fox spirits..."

Shaking her head slightly, Bai Qianqian said calmly, "These beasts have clearly witnessed your true strength, yet they still act so fearlessly. It's really illogical..."

"Uh, this...!"

Faced with Bai Qianqian's reminder, Bai Ze was taken aback for a moment, then looked puzzled, as if he didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Haven't you figured it out yet?"

Seeing the other person's bewildered expression, Bai Qianqian shook her head helplessly, then said quietly, "Although most demon beast groups are not very intelligent, they still understand the principle of seeking advantage and avoiding harm..."

"Knowing that the enemy is powerful and you can't possibly defeat them, why do you still recklessly charge forward to die in vain? Don't you find that a little strange?"

"Young Miss, could it be that you mean...!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze seemed to realize something, and his pupils constricted slightly.

"good."

Bai Qianqian nodded slightly, her pretty face remaining calm as still water. "These ghostly foxes aren't fearless; they're controlled by someone, which is why they suddenly attacked us..."

"To be able to control a group of high-level Earth-rank ghostly foxes for one's own use, could it be a Heaven-rank demonic beast with even more powerful bloodline demonic power?!"

Upon hearing Bai Qianqian's words, Bai Ze also looked solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

After all, even if it unleashes its full power, it is only equivalent to a first-level Yuanhai Realm martial artist, and it is almost impossible for it to contend with a true Heaven-rank demon beast!

Moreover, the Valley of Death is teeming with monsters and fraught with danger. Bai Ze not only has to fight on one hand, but also has to protect Bai Qianqian on the other. He is willing but unable to do so!

Meanwhile, the sky above

Lu Feng remained suspended in mid-air, then his gaze fell upon Bai Qianqian and the others who were surrounded below. "Hmm, so it wasn't just simple Yuan energy and martial arts, but rather the use of talismanic power..."

"To be able to instantly kill a group of high-level Earth-rank ghost foxes, this talisman must be at least Spirit-rank or higher. Just who is this young lady of the Bai family...? Hmm?"

Seemingly sensing something, Lu Feng quickly turned his head to look in the northwest direction of the Valley of Death. The next moment, his pupils contracted slightly. "Another demonic aura is rapidly approaching this place?"

"No! It's not just one demonic aura, but two...! And the strength of the newcomer's aura is almost comparable to that of a mid-level Heavenly Rank demonic beast!"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Chirp chirp chirp...!"

At that moment, a piercing, sharp cry, like that of a monkey, suddenly came from the depths of Death Valley.

Swish!Swish!

The next moment, two slender beast figures, one large and one small, suddenly darted out from the depths of the Valley of Death and landed steadily in the center of the fox pack, as if ruling the world, while completely blocking Bai Qianqian and the others' last escape route.

"Chirp chirp chirp? Ooh ooh ooh...!"

The two beastly figures, one large and one small, both had pointed snouts and monkey-like cheeks, with long, narrow earlobes, and occasionally let out excited cries. If it weren't for their long, yellow fur being so conspicuous, they would be almost indistinguishable from real humans.

"These two beasts are... the Six-Eared Macaques?!"

A sudden change occurred. Bai Ze's eyes narrowed slightly, then a hint of apprehension appeared. He seemed to recognize the attackers as well. "So the real culprits behind this attack on us by controlling these ghostly fox spirits are these two blond beasts...!"

The Six-Eared Macaque is not only one of the mid-level Heavenly Rank demonic beasts with considerable bloodline demonic power, but it is also a relatively rare humanoid demonic beast. Its intelligence is comparable to that of a normal adult!

In addition, the Six-Eared Macaques, a group of demonic beasts, also generally possess an extremely rare bloodline talent: Soul Manipulation!

The term "soul manipulator" refers to a talent or ability to control the souls of others for one's own use.

As for the group of ghostly foxes surrounding the valley, it was precisely because of the control of these two six-eared macaques that they launched a fearless attack on Bai Qianqian and the others.

However, the two six-eared macaques initially underestimated Bai Ze's strength. Even after losing many of the ghostly foxes he controlled, they still couldn't defeat him and had to take action themselves in the end.

"Chirp chirp chirp...!"

Another piercing monkey cry rang out, and the next moment, one of the larger male six-eared macaques leaped into the air, then transformed into a yellow flash, and suddenly attacked Bai Qianqian on the other side.

"Young Miss, watch out!"

Upon seeing that the male six-eared macaque's target was Bai Qianqian herself, Bai Ze, who was standing nearby, also exclaimed in surprise and tried to stop it.

Click...!

However, before Bai Ze could intervene, another female six-eared macaque attacked in an instant, simultaneously biting off Bai Ze's left arm with lightning speed!

*Sizzle...!*

Bai Ze's left arm was instantly bitten off, his face turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely. "Damn it...!"

"I never expected this blond-haired beast to be so fast...!"

Bai Ze clenched his teeth, seemingly more horrified than by the loss of his left arm than by the terrifying speed of the female six-eared macaque, which was almost impossible to react to!

"Young Miss, danger!"

Seeing the male six-eared macaque rushing straight at Bai Qianqian, Bai Ze, who was also too busy to treat the wound on his left arm, struggled to get up and seemed to want to stop it.

Whoosh! Boom...!

Just as Bai Qianqian was about to be torn in two by the male six-eared macaque, a powerful ice crystal axe beam struck from afar, seemingly unstoppable, instantly knocking the male six-eared macaque back, its blood splattering everywhere!

"Young lady, are you alright?"

With a single axe strike, Lu Feng instantly defeated the male six-eared macaque. He then turned around and grinned at Bai Qianqian, who was still in shock behind him. "My name is Lu Feng. May I ask your name, young lady?"
