Rank 8: Eight Kinds of Demonic Beasts
The gazes of the two people intersected in the air for a moment, as if there was an inexplicable and unspeakable murderous aura surging between them.
However, in the end, neither of them made a move. Du Fei just smiled lightly and then slightly cupped his hands, saying: "So it's Ba Han brothers, I'm Du Fei, I've long admired your great name!"
"Du Fei?" Upon hearing this, Ba Han's facial muscles twitched slightly, and after a moment, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "So it's the Du Fei young master who has been making waves in Bu Yue City recently. It seems that you're not with the White Robe Sect's useless bunch... Speaking of which, there are only a few people in Bu Yue City who can make me, Ba Han, feel admiration, and you, Du Fei young master, are one of them."
Du Fei smiled and said faintly: "I don't dare, I'm just a small person, what's there to admire?"
Upon hearing this, Ba Han's face twitched slightly and he let out a sigh before saying: "I, Ba Han, also consider myself to be ruthless and cunning, but if I were to go to the White Robe Sect and kill dozens of people only to escape unscathed, I must admit that even I couldn't do it. In this regard, I am not as capable as you!"
"It was just luck that at the time, if the high-level executives of Lianjia had come down to take drastic measures, Du would have been dead by now!" Du Fei said with a smile.
When Du Fei said this, Ba Han's pupils shrank slightly again, and after a moment, he smiled and said: "Originally, I wanted to see Du Fei young master, no matter what, we had to fight once. However, it's only the first day now... To determine victory or defeat seems too early... Since we've met by chance, these things will be given to you, Du Fei young master! Let's meet at Tian Lei Tower in half a month!"
Having said that, Ba Han was also extremely bold, and with a swift movement, he quickly dashed into the dense forest.
For his extremely arrogant behavior, Du Fei was also stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with some helplessness.
Originally, I was also planning to take advantage of the current imperfect state and solve a major enemy first... Unexpectedly, he saw through my mind and acknowledged that the odds of winning were not great at this moment, and actually ran away so quickly!
As for the appointment at Lei Tai that day, Du Fei had no choice but to accept it even if he didn't want to.
Because it was the last day of the gathering at Xuan You Mi Jing, the way to leave Xuan You Mi Jing was not to return by the original route, but to go to Tian Lei Tai, from where one could directly leave this Xuan You Mi Jing.
This is also one of the strange places in this mysterious and secluded realm. And finally, after reaching the mysterious and secluded realm, it's not bad for everyone to come and distinguish between victory and defeat again.
"What's the big deal? Anyway, this Ba Han has nothing to do with me, his life or death, win or lose, are all none of my business... But since they've sent a gift, I shouldn't be rude." Du Fei slightly shook his head, his gaze swept over the corpses on the ground, and after searching for a moment, he found that these people were extremely poor, not even having anything good on them. As for those worthless items, Du Fei naturally had no interest, so he simply collected all of their nameplates and put them into his storage ring before setting off once again towards his original destination.
This time, Du Fei flew between the two armies without encountering much trouble. Although he occasionally encountered a few people in battle, they only took a glimpse of him secretly and then quickly left.
He wasn't a bloodthirsty person either, those people who had nothing to do with him, as long as they didn't lay a hand on him, he wouldn't go and kill them. As for the number of nameplates, if it's not enough, just collect more at the Thunder Platform later! On this point, Du Fei wasn't worried in the slightest.
The surroundings around had changed again during the journey.
Compared with the dense forest before, the trees around are sparse, the soil is more solid, and even the fog in the air has thinned out a lot.
However, Du Fei also clearly knew in his heart that he had only truly entered the Mystic Void Realm at this moment.
According to legend, in the middle of the Mystic Realm, there is no fog on ordinary days. Fog only appears on special days that occur every three years. However, even on ordinary days, no one can enter this place.
Moreover, in the central part of the Mystic Void Realm, it is already considered to be the site of the Mystic Void Sect's mountain gate ruins. Although the sect's ruins have not been discovered yet, by analyzing the surrounding environment, the planted medicinal herbs, and the raised demonic beasts, one can confirm that the sect's ruins are definitely within this range.
The place previously circled by Du Fei can only be considered a central peripheral area.
After confirming the surroundings, Du Fei stomped his foot on the ground and sprinted again in the direction he had locked onto.
Here, although the trees are sparse, the surrounding environment has not changed much, and this kind of environment is the most complex. In such a forest, although there is only thin fog, it is easier to get lost compared to the previous place.
Moreover, this is precisely where the most monsters gather.
After all, even if it's a demon beast, there aren't many who like fog.
After a brief escape, Du Fei suddenly frowned slightly, his body suddenly stopped, and his gaze fell on the trees to one side.
There was also a mark of chopping on the tree, obviously left by someone recently, and there were several chaotic footprints on the ground, which were extremely fresh.
Du Fei investigated for a moment and was certain that there must have been a group of people who had come here before, and the target of these people was probably the same as his own.
"It seems that getting the herbs isn't easy either... But if I don't get a bit more, there won't be such a good opportunity in the future! Refining pills isn't something you can buy with just anything!" After muttering to himself for a moment, Du Fei let out a helpless sigh, his foot lightly tapping on the ground before he took off again, but this time with a bit more caution.
However, this time, they had only walked a hundred steps when two figures suddenly flashed out from the side of the road and blocked Du Fei's path.
As soon as the two appeared, Du Fei's body suddenly stiffened and he slightly fixed in place, his eyes slowly scanning past them, while in his heart he quietly took a deep breath, already preparing to retreat.
Since the other party has already discovered himself, he is not prepared to take action at this time, but rather prepare to retreat at the first opportunity.
As for Du Fei's neat and clean movements, the two men seemed to be extremely surprised. After glancing at Du Fei's clothes with a hint of scrutiny, one of them quickly cupped his hands and said: "So you're from the Du family outside the city! We are from the Yang family in Liu Town. My young master is collecting herbs ahead and prohibits outsiders from entering. Please give us some face, sir, and retreat. We won't block your way!"
"Yang family of Liu Town?" Du Fei slightly furrowed his brow, and indeed recalled this family. Although the Yang family of Liu Town had always been extremely low-key on the outskirts of Bu City, none of its members were simple characters. It was said that their family's traditional martial art was also extremely lethal, which was why this family had always had a foothold on the outskirts of Bu City.
The relationship between Du's family and Yang's family was not bad on ordinary days. At this time, Du Fei didn't plan to make things complicated here either. He just nodded slightly and took the initiative to back off.
As soon as Du Fei retreated, the two of them exchanged a glance and instantly disappeared from view.
But in less than a moment, from deep within the forest, came a chorus of beastly roars and human shouts.
A loud and intense true energy explosion sound was heard, followed by a series of miserable cries.
The two figures, who had been hiding their bodies, were slightly startled and immediately rushed out quickly in that direction.
At this scene, Du Fei's retreating figure also stiffened slightly, and he couldn't help but frown.
Although he had also heard that all precious medicinal materials generally have demonic beasts guarding them, the place he carefully chose should not have any.
But now this change is completely beyond one's own expectations.
"Could it be that in those three years, something good has been added there?"
The thought had barely flashed through his mind when a series of mournful cries rang out, followed by an instant of complete silence, as if everyone had died in that very moment.
"What kind of monster is this, it's so fierce?" Du Fei took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then carefully headed in that direction.
Although it's said that Yang family of Liu Town is not as sharp as the three major forces outside the city, but with more than a dozen young juniors in the family, their strength is also not to be underestimated.
Capable of instantly killing over a dozen people, this demon beast is probably not simple. At the same time, it also explains that the object it guards is even more extraordinary!
But this point successfully piqued Du Fei's curiosity.
After proceeding cautiously through the dense forest for a while, Du Fei finally arrived at an open area. On the ground, including the two people he saw earlier, there were nearly twenty corpses scattered all over the place. Each of their death postures was gruesome and unbearable to look at. Judging from how they died, most of them were killed instantly, with their faces still frozen in terror as if they had just seen something horrific.
For a moment, Du Fei frowned and his gaze swept slightly towards the depths, then he couldn't help but take a cold breath.
On the flat ground, there is a slightly dark pool. In front of the pool, a beast that looks like a dog but isn't one lies lazily on the ground, its mouth chewing on a fresh corpse, swallowing with big gulps.
There were several flashes of lightning on his body, making his ordinary figure somewhat eerie.
Behind it, in the center of the pond, there is a stone platform. On the platform, a plant with emerald green color emits soft luminescence. Occasionally, lightning flashes across its leaves.
"It seems that this thing is the most precious, otherwise the demon beast would not guard it like this. The Yang family is also extremely unlucky to have encountered this thing..."
After a moment of contemplation, Du Fei did indeed harbor some thoughts of retreat.
However, before he could make another move, the lazy beast's eyes lit up slightly, and it slowly got up. A pair of dark blue eyes instantly fell on Du Fei, followed by a few hints of humanized mocking smile on its face.
At this scene, Du Fei's mind was filled with electronic sounds ringing rapidly.
"One of the eight kinds of demonic beasts, the Thunder Leopard, resembles a dog in shape and is covered all over its body with electricity. Its movements are extremely swift and unparalleled, while its nature is extremely cruel..."
The electronic sound had not yet finished, Du Fei's face changed color, and he involuntarily exclaimed: "Eighth-grade demon beast!?"
