Deep in the Qinling Mountains, the mountains gradually become majestic. Just one of them is enough to rival ten ordinary mountains. It stands thousands of meters high, towering into the clouds.

Ancient trees reach for the sky on the mountainside, and thick vines, as large as buckets, hang down from who knows where.

The sounds of monkeys crying and tigers roaring created a scene of primordial chaos.

Even from a great distance, one could still feel a chilling and malevolent aura, overwhelming and terrifying.

There were figures moving around at the foot of the mountain, which looked like a few ants when viewed from above.

"Thank you both...Brother Niu, for your help. I am extremely grateful."

This is a woman, dressed in white, though now covered in mud. Her face is somewhat haggard, but she is still stunningly beautiful.

He was currently staring at the two "minotaur" in front of him, thanking them profusely.

"No need to thank me, we are all extraordinary people, it is only right for us to help each other."

One of the minotaurs waved his hand in reply, but his expression was slightly evasive, and he dared not look the woman in the eye.

"I haven't yet had the pleasure of asking the names of you two brothers, Brother Niu."

The woman in white looked at the two of them curiously and asked a sincere question.

Yesterday, it was these two people who saved her from danger, and her expression was naturally one of gratitude and earnestness.

"My name is Niu Da, and this is my younger brother, Niu Er."

One of them explained it this way.

"Um."

The woman nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and didn't ask any further questions.

She then introduced herself to the two of them, "My name is Nangong Xian'er. We are now allies, and we will stand together through thick and thin."

Her smile was so sweet, like a gentle spring breeze that made one's heart flutter.

The two "minotaur" looked at each other, and seemed to lack confidence as they gave a soft "hmm".

Continuing to stride forward, after creating some distance between them, the two "cows" began to talk in hushed tones.

"Yuanzi... Have we gone too far? What if she finds out our true identities and kills us? After all, the other party is the powerful Bodhi Gene."

"We've come this far, there's no turning back. If we'd known she was going to come in with us, we would have just knocked her out."

Gu Yuan sighed softly.

Yesterday I was thinking of using wild animals to scare them away... but I ended up having a "tagalong" following me around.

The woman in white insisted on coming along, which also proved that the extraordinary fruit of the Dragon-Slaying Land was no ordinary place.

Otherwise, Nangong Xian'er wouldn't have worked so hard.

Of course, another reason is that she sees Gu Yuan and his companion as new, powerful allies, plus bodyguards...

After all, Gu Yuan's ability to kill several ferocious tigers with a single blow last night was something that ordinary superhumans could not achieve.

As the three walked, their expressions gradually became solemn.

A blood-stained corpse hung from a tree branch by the roadside, its chest pierced and covered in blood, its dense scales scattered on the ground.

These kinds of superhumans have terrifying defensive capabilities, so it's hard to imagine that they died here so tragically.

"The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is indeed an unchanging principle."

Gu Yuan glanced at it but didn't say anything more; this was expected.

I never expected that a bloodbath would break out before we even reached the center.

The ensuing struggle will only become more brutal.

As they walked, the stench of blood grew stronger, and the number of the strange people who had died tragically continued to increase.

Fatty and Nangong Xian'er both turned pale, as it was the first time they had ever seen such a scene, but they still mustered their courage and followed behind Gu Yuan.

Finally, the three of them arrived at an open area and saw figures.

Their arrival did not cause any sensation; only a few people cast their gazes at them.

After briefly stopping on Gu Yuan and the fat man, it landed on Nangong Xian'er.

Minotaur are not uncommon among the mutant army, but such a stunning woman is indeed captivating to many.

However, they only looked on with longing without taking any action, since their goal wasn't to steal the beautiful woman, but rather the strange golden fruit.

Gu Yuan and his two companions climbed a small hill to check out the surrounding environment and the distribution of people.

But they had barely taken a step when they were stopped. The group of people who had been standing on the mountaintop suddenly turned around, their eyes turning cold, and spoke without any emotion.

"This mountain peak has been taken; please choose another one, brother."

This is a strange person whose body is covered with sharp spikes, whose pupils shrink like those of a venomous snake, making him appear somewhat mean and vicious.

Although the words were very polite, anyone with discerning eyes could hear the strong disdain hidden within.

The others were alarmed, and their hostile gazes came from the surrounding mountains, intimidating everyone so that no one wanted any trouble from the newcomers.

Gu Yuan knew that the competition had already begun, and those extraordinary individuals who could not climb the mountain peak had already been defeated in the invisible duel.

This is a selection process. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some powerful individuals would disdain such a process, since climbing a mountain is nothing special.

So he calmly said, "Do you think you're some kind of bandit king, with an owner?" His gaze didn't waver at all.

The other party did not reply, but his face darkened, and he released a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation from his body, causing the surrounding trees to shake violently.

Just then, a delicate hand gently touched her.

"Let's forget about Niu Da; there's no need for us to argue with them."

Nangong Xian'er spoke softly to persuade them, her eyes glancing towards the mountaintop, where there were six people far beyond what the three of them could handle.

"Niu Er, what do you say?"

Gu Yuan looked at the fat man.

"I'm going to beat him up, Fatty... I'm really angry but I don't know who to vent my anger on."

The fat man's eyes gleamed and his blood was boiling. Although he did not have the same level of cultivation as Gu Yuan, he was still a master at the fourth level of the Martial Realm.

Immediately, one person rushed towards the hillside, and the other side immediately sent two people to intercept and kill him.

"Is Niu Er okay? Will he be in any danger?"

Nangong Xian'er whispered with a worried expression, and Gu Yuan glanced at her, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

I wonder if the former would still care so much if they knew they were the ones who drugged him.

As they spoke, the battle on the hillside had already begun. The fat man charged around like a raging bull, his fists gleaming like two golden millstones, each punch carrying unparalleled offensive power.

Gu Yuan recognized that this was the very technique he had taught the former—the Bull King Fist, which emphasized boundless and domineering power.

Sure enough, one of the superhumans who was exchanging blows with the fat man immediately let out a scream, his arms went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, wailing incessantly, as if they were broken.

The other person was thrown off the hillside.

A complete victory against two opponents!

The fat man stood proudly, staring intently at the other four people on the mountaintop, and made a gesture to continue.

Many people below looked astonished, and Nangong Xian'er covered her red lips, glancing at Gu Yuan beside her with a strange expression, seemingly lost in thought.

At the same time, the remaining four people on the mountaintop moved and rushed over, intending to kill the fat man.

"You have no sportsmanship. What I mean is, come at me one by one, or even two at a time. What's the point of all of you charging in?"

Although he was cursing angrily, he did not back down but fought the enemy with all his might.

Gu Yuan watched closely, ready to make a move at any moment.

However, when his gaze fell on the leisurely Nangong Xian'er, he pushed her out, saying, "Stop looking, go help Niu Er."

"Niu Da...you...you actually made me, a woman, go up there."

Nangong Xian'er gritted her teeth, feeling indignant, and wanted to stop.

But finding the force to be immense, they were forced to rush up the hillside to join the battle.

With her joining, the fat man's stress level dropped dramatically.

The two fought against four extraordinary individuals.

The two fighters exchanged powerful blows, unleashing gusts of wind that were deafening, like lightning flashing, sending sand and stones flying – a truly terrifying sight.

"Prepare to die!"

One of the four shouted and unleashed two terrifying fireballs.

The explosion melted the rocks of the mountain, a sight that terrified everyone, who quickly took cover for fear of being affected.

"Damn it, are they really messing around with Master Niu?"

The fat man narrowly escaped, and was immediately enraged. Since the other party was really going to kill him, he naturally wouldn't hold back anymore.

A glint of light flashed in his palm, and an ancient black short sword quietly appeared.

"go!"

The black short sword, like a black lightning bolt slicing through the sky, moved with extreme speed, instantly piercing the chest of the young man who had released the fireball. Blood flowed everywhere, and he died on the spot.

"Sword Control Technique!"

The expressions of the onlookers changed, and even those who hadn't been paying attention before cast serious glances at them.

Gu Yuan was slightly startled; this was not the technique he had taught the fat man.

It must have been learned from his master in the dream, and that short sword is proof of that; he personally pulled it from the ancient corpse, never expecting it to become a weapon now.

However, after unleashing this attack, the fat man was clearly exhausted, and his face turned pale.

But his gaze remained sharp and intimidating, stunning the people on the hillside.

Just then, Nangong Xian'er also defeated an opponent, demonstrating her formidable strength.

His strength had actually reached the fourth level of the Martial Realm, but he didn't have as many secret techniques as the fat man, so he didn't stand out as much.

But he is definitely one of the best among the superhumans. After all, not everyone has the luck of the fat man, who has a terrifying good friend and a strange ancient corpse master.

"We surrender, let's stop fighting."

The thorny figure on the hillside shouted, then glanced fearfully at the fat man and Nangong Xian'er before hastily leaving, lest he be killed there.

Gu Yuan, on the other hand, walked uphill with light steps, wanting to see what kind of scenery was around her.
