A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 422 The Fierce Place
At this moment, Duan Rong's eyes suddenly moved. He noticed that there was a shaking in a patch of deep grass not far from the tree. The grass leaves swayed and made a rustling sound.

Duan Rong's breathing tightened. He turned his head to look at Fan Hongjiao beside him, only to see that Fan Hongjiao had a calm expression and did not react at all.

Not long after, a dark shadow was seen shaking and crawling out from the deep grass.

As soon as he saw the little thing clearly, Duan Rong laughed silently. He had encountered this thing once on the way here. It was a young arrow pig.

An adult arrow pig is still a bit tricky for a single Yuanqi realm warrior to deal with.

When the arrow pig reaches adulthood, its skin becomes keratinized, so its defense becomes very strong, and the rain of arrows it shoots from its back can also cause chaos in people's minds.

But as long as three warriors at the Yuanqi realm join forces, even a full-grown arrow pig can be slowly worn down to death.

The lethality of the arrow pig is not great, which greatly reduces the danger of hunting this beast. In addition, its meat is thick, so the adult arrow pig is still a very popular hunting target in the dark forest.

Some teams that do not have strong cyclone realm warriors often choose adult arrow pigs as their hunting targets.

But Fan Hongjiao and his companions seldom hunt adult pigs because it is too time-consuming and often takes a long time to grind them to death.

After the adult quid boars were hunted, the remaining young quid boars wandered in the dark forest.

Now this young arrow pig was obviously passing through the grass and coming to the stream to drink water.

The arrow pig crawled out of the grass, its pair of black little eyes rolled around, and its pink nose sniffed around, as if it felt there was no danger around, so it gathered all its strength and rushed to the stream.

The young pig was about the size of a wild cat. When it reached the stream, it lay down and began to drink, gurgling. It was obvious that it was very thirsty.

But at this moment, there was a flash of cold light, and Wang Yue, holding a pair of butterfly knives, cut the young pig in half with one knife.

Wang Yue smiled slightly and said, "We got another little arrow pig."

Behind Wang Yue, Lu Geng was also standing there. Lu Geng said, "It's just a small pig. Why are you coming down here for this?"

Wang Yue said: "You are really a full man who does not know the hunger of a hungry man..."

Before Wang Yue finished speaking, he suddenly saw a whip shadow flash and hit not far from his feet. A puff of smoke shattered a fist-sized bluestone. Then Wang Yue heard a voice coming from the dense treetops not far away.

"Why don't you get back on the tree? You're just a young piglet, and you're embarrassing yourself by coming out like this?!"

Fan Hongjiao clenched the python whip in his hand, his eyes filled with anger.

Wang Yue shrank his head. He and Lu Geng divided the young arrow-pig in half each, and then hid back in the tree canopy.

Duan Rong was beside Fan Hongjiao and could clearly feel the rise and fall of her surging chest. She was obviously still angry at Wang Yue and Lu Geng for exposing their whereabouts for a young arrow pig.

Wang Yue and Lu Geng jumped back into the tree canopy, and the rustling leaves stopped shaking. Not long after, another dark shadow slowly walked out of the bush where the young arrow pig had jumped out.

Unlike the young arrow pig, this black shadow walked very slowly. Through the gaps between the leaves, Duan Rong even felt that its gait was somewhat leisurely.

This is a dark forest, full of dangers. What the hell is this thing? How come it feels like it's strolling in a garden?

Just when Duan Rong was wondering, Fan Hongjiao had already turned her head to look at him, and her white and tender fingertips pressed on her red lips, making a gesture to him to keep quiet.

At this moment, Duan Rong saw a hint of fear in the look that Fan Hongjiao gave him.

What kind of thing could make Fan Hongjiao, a third-level Cyclone Realm expert, so fearful?

At this time, the black shadow that jumped out of the bushes had leisurely walked to a place not far from the stream. The dim green light emanating from the stream illuminated the black shadow quite clearly.

Duan Rong hid in the tree canopy. After seeing the true appearance of the black shadow, he felt a chill in his heart.

That thing actually had three blue-black heads. As it walked, the three heads looked in different directions. Its four slender hooves walked under the trees, making a slight ticking sound.

Duan Rong couldn't help but feel confused. Although this thing had an ugly face and three heads, it was not very big and did not seem to have any sharp claws or fangs. Why did it make Fan Hongjiao so afraid?

The three-headed beast had already walked past the tree where Duan Rong and the others were hiding, and came to the stream. It lowered its head and began to drink water from the stream.

At the moment the three-headed beast drank the water, blue-black foam appeared on the water surface near it.

Duan Rong frowned instantly. Poison!?

This stuff is obviously poisonous!
Seeing the phytoplankton on the surface of the stream rot instantly, it was clear that the poison it carried was very strong.

The creature drank enough water, and its belly was slightly swollen. It just raised its head, and among the three heads, the one that was facing the treetop where Duan Rong and the others were hiding suddenly burped, and a ball of black gas spurted out.

A branch not far from Fan Hongjiao withered in an instant, and the dead leaves fell all over the ground. Fan Hongjiao did not dare to move, for fear of making a noise and alarming the poisonous creature.

Fan Hongjiao's whole body was tense at this moment, and she was obviously very frightened. There was only a thin layer of leaves in front of her, which barely covered her body. If she was not careful, she would be exposed.

However, the three poisonous creatures obviously did not notice Duan Rong and Fan Hongjiao on the tree next to them. They sniffed their noses, as if they had discovered something, and went to the stream not far away.

There was a pool of blood there, which was left by the young pig that Wang Yue had just killed.

The three poisonous creatures sniffed at the bloodstain, and all three heads showed doubt and contemplation. They looked around and walked to a tree not far away with their slender hooves.

Although the heads of these three poisonous creatures are a terrifying blue-black color, their walking posture and gait are quite elegant.

It stopped under a tree not far away, which was where Wang Yue and Lu Geng were hiding.

The two were hiding in the tree canopy at this time, very nervous. The cloth bag beside Wang Yue contained many corpses of small Yuan beasts. Although the bag was tied tightly, it still couldn't block the faint smell of blood.

At this moment, a drop of blood suddenly dripped from the bottom of the pocket.

The moment the drop of blood fell, Lu Geng was quick-witted and stretched out his foot to catch the drop of blood. Otherwise, the drop of blood would have passed through the gap between the branches below and just dripped onto one of the three poisonous creatures' heads.

Fan Hongjiao used her spiritual sense to investigate everything that happened here and saw it clearly. She clenched her teeth and wished she could whip Wang Yue's butt a few times to vent her anger.

The three poisonous creatures lingered under the tree for a while, seemingly finding nothing, and then left gracefully.

So ugly and horrible, yet walking with such an elegant gait, it looks like an ugly monster walking on the catwalk.

After using her spiritual sense to detect that the three poisonous creatures had gone far away, Fan Hongjiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on her forehead.

Fan Hongjiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Duan Rong and said, "That thing is called the three-headed green deer. It is extremely poisonous and can corrode vital energy. Even a warrior in the cyclone realm will be in trouble once it is hit. A warrior in the vital energy realm will die instantly if he is touched by it!" "Kill instantly if touched?" Duan Rong was shocked when he heard this, and felt a sense of fear in his heart. It turned out that he had just been to the gates of hell.

Fan Hongjiao looked at Duan Rong's astonished eyes and continued, "This is a poisonous creature that was bred in the complex environment of the rich vitality and chaotic laws in the dark forest. It is much more terrifying than the poisonous creatures in the secular world!"

Duan Rong looked through the gaps in the branches towards the place where the three green deer were drinking water, only to see that the black foam had long been washed away by the gurgling stream.

After the three green deer walked away, Fan Hongjiao grabbed Duan Rong and leaped up suddenly, then flew into the crown of another big tree. Some branches of the original big tree had withered, and it was no longer safe to hide inside.

As soon as the two of them fell into the tree canopy, Duan Rong was about to speak, but Fan Hongjiao suddenly covered his mouth and whispered, "Here it comes!"

Duan Rong didn't know what Fan Hongjiao was talking about, but what he felt from Fan Hongjiao's eyes and tone was not fear and tension, but excitement.

It seemed that the prey they were waiting for had arrived. Fan Hongjiao must have detected something with her spiritual sense, which was why she reacted like this.

Sure enough, through the gaps between the branches, Duan Rong saw a huge black shadow coming towards the stream.

It turned out to be a giant lizard. The young arrow-boar that Wang Yue had just killed was not even as big as one of its claws.

The monitor lizard crawled to the stream, stuck its head into the stream, and began to drink with relish.

Duan Rong was shocked to find that there was an upright green eye on the lizard's back. At this time, the giant lizard was drinking water, but the eye on its back was darting around, watching the movements around it. The scene was indescribably weird and terrifying.

Green-eyed monitor lizard? !
Although the giant lizard, both its shape and the strange green eye on its back, made Duan Rong feel fearful, Fan Hongjiao was obviously very excited, and her body was not as tense as when she encountered the three green deer.

"Come!"

Fan Hongjiao suddenly screamed, grabbed Duan Rong and jumped out.

When Duan Rong was grabbed by Fan Hongjiao and jumped out of the tree canopy, he saw Wu Shidao, Wang Yue and Lu Geng jumping out almost at the same time on both sides.

Several black shadows flashed across the sky, forming a triangle and surrounding the blue-eyed monitor lizard that was drinking water by the stream.

Wu Shidao holds an iron ruler in his hand and forms his own faction.

Wang Yue and Lu Geng, each holding a weapon, guarded the other side.

Fan Hongjiao took Duan Rong with him to guard another side.

But when they landed, Fan Hongjiao easily blocked Duan Rong behind him. At this time, Duan Rong looked through Fan Hongjiao's shoulder at the panicked green-eyed monitor lizard beside the stream.

Fan Hongjiao could not hide the joy in her eyes.

This green-eyed giant lizard was huge in size, had plump flesh, and its movements were clumsy. Although it was very strong, it was still no match for Fan Hongjiao and Wu Shidao, two powerful men in the cyclone realm.

But at this moment, water splashed in the stream and a black shadow jumped out from the stream!

The incident happened suddenly and everyone was shocked!
The moment the black shadow jumped out, Wu Shidao, who was standing by the stream, had a distorted expression and screamed, "Two-legged python?!"

Duan Rong listened to Wu Shidao's screams and the slightly trembling back of Fan Hongjiao in front of him, and without thinking, he immediately retreated.

The thing that suddenly jumped out of the stream was obviously extremely dangerous.

When Duan Rong retreated violently, he could see clearly that it was a giant python as thick as a human waist and about three meters long. The python's big mouth was full of fangs, and there were two claws sticking out from the front of its body.

As soon as the giant python jumped out of the stream, it grabbed the monitor lizard's head with its two front claws. Almost at the same time, it opened its big mouth full of fangs and bit off half of the monitor lizard's head.

The giant python killed the monitor lizard with one bite. Wu Shidao was about to retreat when the python's tail wrapped around his waist. Wu Shidao was terrified and smashed the python's body with an iron ruler. The python roared in pain and bared its fangs, but it endured the pain and wrapped Wu Shidao up.

Wu Shidao had no choice but to call upon the vital energy of heaven and earth to wrap around his body, stirring it wildly to prevent the giant python from wrapping around him.

The giant python twisted its body and wrapped itself around him tightly. Wu Shidao hastily summoned the energy of heaven and earth around him to squeeze it around his body. This was a matter of life and death. If he was not careful, he would be rolled into a meat paste by the giant python.

The giant python roared in anger when it saw Wu Shidao was still struggling desperately. As it swung its body around wildly, a hint of emotion could be seen in its upside-down cold eyes.

At this time, Fan Hongjiao had already arrived, and a whip shadow hit the roaring fangs of the giant python. Fan Hongjiao also knew that this was a life-and-death moment for Wu Shidao. Although the two of them were on Yunfu Peak and could not urinate in the same pot, they were from the same school after all. After all, Wu Shidao had called her senior sister for more than ten years. Now was the time to unite against the common enemy.

At this time, Lu Geng and Wang Yue were standing in the distance, trembling and not daring to step forward.

After all, they were only at the Yuanqi realm. Wang Yue was only at the second level of Yuanqi realm, and Lu Geng had just advanced to the fourth level of Yuanqi realm.

Even Wu Shidao, who was in the Cyclone Realm, was struggling to hold on. The two of them would probably be killed in one encounter with the giant python.

Fan Hongjiao used all his strength in his first attack. With one lash of the whip, three of the giant python's fangs broke with a crisp sound, and blood splattered everywhere.

The giant python felt the pain and became more crazy, but it held on to Wu Shidao tightly, and was struggling with the vital energy of heaven and earth that Wu Shidao was frantically mobilizing and stirring around his body. It was unable to attack Fan Hongjiao at all.

Fan Hongjiao even used the advantage of his long whip, constantly dodging and attacking left and right, and each move was fierce. Before long, the giant python's mouth was full of blood, and even one of its eyes was blown out.

Just when Wu Shidao was about to collapse, the giant python finally couldn't stand Fan Hongjiao's harassment anymore, let go of Wu Shidao and pounced on Fan Hongjiao.

The giant python dug its feet into the ground and spun around on the ground with its body, moving as fast as the wind. Fan Hongjiao fought and retreated, and was nearly entangled by the python several times. However, she always managed to dodge it at the critical moment with her ghostly agility.

As soon as Wu Shidao was freed, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were gloomy, and he immediately sat cross-legged, stuffed a piece of flesh-like thing into his mouth, and swallowed it.

Wu Shidao quickly adjusted his breathing. There was originally a rich vitality of heaven and earth in the dark forest, and the strong people in the cyclone realm could mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth in the surrounding space for their own use.

The cyclone in his dantian was spinning wildly, like the center of a storm vortex. The vital energy of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of meters seemed to be stirred and gathered towards him.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged, his mind as calm as water, and fully exerted his skills. However, after a few breaths, Wu Shidao suddenly opened his eyes. The dejection in his eyes was completely swept away, and his gaze was focused and sharp as a knife.

Wu Shidao jumped up, holding an iron bar, and charged into the battle between Fan Hongjiao and the giant python.

Wherever the giant python passed, the grass and branches were all broken and ruined. Fan Hongjiao became more and more defeated and in danger. At this moment, the giant python suddenly swung its tail whip towards Fan Hongjiao's waist. Fan Hongjiao saw that there was no way to avoid it and was about to be whipped by the tail whip, but suddenly he heard a clang, and saw Wu Shidao rushing over. He flashed and swung out the iron ruler to block the tail whip.

As soon as Wu Shidao arrived, Fan Hongjiao's pressure was greatly reduced. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and her men became more and more fierce.

Fan Hongjiao looked at Wu Shidao's figure not far away, and her heart was slightly touched. When Wu Shidao first entered the sect, she was the one who brought him up, but later they had some temper conflicts and gradually drifted apart. But thinking back to the past, they had fought side by side like this.
