Chapter 268 The Mysterious Jungle 4
After entering this eerie jungle, Wei Yunqing felt uneasy, so she kept her divine sense outward to observe everything around her. After the battle with the giant rock bull, she noticed that the sky was getting darker, and the feeling that made her hair stand on end became more and more obvious.

So she decisively found a stone wall, then began to carve a hole with her sword, and set up the strongest defensive array plate in her possession before she could safely hide in the cave.

After the sky had completely darkened, her cave was attacked by giant beasts, and not just one wave. She secretly rejoiced that she was quick-witted enough to make preparations in advance; otherwise, if she had been caught in the attack of these giant beasts, she would have been crippled if not killed.

After leaving the temporary cave, Wei Yunqing continued to explore the jungle, hoping to reunite with Sheng Yuhong as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Yunxi had already dissected all the giant beasts she had hunted that night, separately storing the bones with inscriptions and sealing the meat in different categories. After meditating and resting for a while to adjust her condition, she put away the array plate.

This time, Yunxi tucked the dots into her chest, let the flying butterflies into her sleeves, and once again raised the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella to begin a new round of exploration.

Moreover, Yunxi discovered that the range of her divine sense was also shrinking today, which made her more vigilant. She kept her protective spiritual shield on and tried to isolate herself from everything in the jungle.

As Yunxi wandered through the jungle, the stone hammer man from the tribe once again led a group away from their settlement, this time with ten people.

Half a day later, the ten people entered Yunxi's spiritual sense range. This time, they dug a pit in the place chosen by the man with the stone hammer. The tool they used was a grayish-white bone shovel. The people who dug the pit were very fast and seemed very relaxed.

Yunxi noticed that as the five people were digging the pit, a stream of light flowed over them and eventually entered the bone shovel in their hands. She stood on a huge tree and watched the five people working from afar.

Her divine sense swept over the bone shovels in the hands of these people and she discovered that these bone shovels should be made from the bones of giant beasts. If she was not mistaken, the animal bones used to make the shovels should be the kind of bones with inscriptions.

"Interesting. How do they distinguish these special beast bones if they don't cultivate spiritual power?"

Yunxi muttered to herself.

She was able to find it because she has a wind spirit root, which makes her very sensitive to the flow of energy around her. In addition, after hunting giant beasts, she used magic to probe the area one by one. However, these primitive people found it very accurately, so they must have a special method.

Through this observation, Yunxi was quite certain that these primitive people were the original inhabitants of this secret realm. They had lived in the secret realm for at least a thousand years, because Lei Hongxuan and the others had sealed this secret realm together for exactly a thousand years.

The man with the stone hammer gripped it tightly. He felt as if an unseen eye was watching them from the shadows. This reminded him of the old woman's words. After swallowing hard, he urged everyone to hurry up.

The five men quickened their digging, and after digging a pit three meters deep and five meters wide, the remaining men quickly tore out a huge gray-black animal hide to cover the pit and then began to disguise themselves.

In less than fifteen minutes, the pit was disguised so well that Yunxi could not see any flaws with the naked eye. Then she saw the man with the stone hammer take out a small red fox from the animal skin bag on his back.

The man tied a rope to the fox's hind leg, then placed the unconscious fox at the edge of the trap. He used a sharp bone dagger to slash the fox's calf, and as blood seeped out, he waved his hand, and everyone found a place to hide.

Yunxi narrowed her eyes, a bad feeling creeping over her. Just then, Dian Dian burrowed out of Yunxi's arms, her nose twitching violently, her small black eyes darting around rapidly, and she whispered:
"Master, Didi smells a familiar scent."

Yunxi transmitted her voice:
"Is it that little red fox?"

Dian Dian immediately nodded and said:
“It must be him. He’s a demon cultivator from the Baohua Mountains. How come he revealed his true form as soon as he got to this place?” Dian Dian also locked onto the target and said to the little fox who was still unconscious.

Yunxi shrugged and said:
"We can only ask him. Considering we came from the same world, we'll try to save him if we can."

Before Dian Dian could even nod, an orange shadow instantly appeared in front of the little fox, opening its blood-red maw and biting down.

Yunxi scanned it with her divine sense and found that it was a giant lynx, about 1.8 meters long and about 1 meter tall. Its distinctive round face, triangular ears, and obvious tufts of hair on its ears confirmed that she was not mistaken.

At this moment, the animal hide could no longer support the weight of the lynx and collapsed with a crash, while the little fox that was right next to its mouth was quickly pulled away by the rope.

The lynx howled after falling into the pit, and leaped out of it in the next instant. However, its left hind leg was pierced by sharp bone spikes at the bottom of the pit. Dragging its injured hind leg, it rushed up and immediately turned around, heading towards the woods where the little fox had disappeared.

Seeing that the giant lynx was injured, the man with the stone hammer whistled, and then ten people jumped out of their hiding place and began to attack the lynx.

Yunxi released her divine sense to carefully observe the hunt.

The injured lynx was extremely agitated. Even with a limp hind leg, it didn't stop its frenzied counterattack. It knew that the people in front of it were the ones who had injured it, so it bared its sharp teeth and claws.

The man with the stone hammer still took the lead, using his stone hammer to block the lynx's sharp claw.

Yunxi saw golden light flowing through his right arm again, then transferring to the stone hammer, which allowed him to receive the attack.

After the man with the stone hammer blocked the attack, his companion threw out a rope. Yunxi could tell that the rope was made of three animal sinews braided together, and it should be enough to bind the giant lynx.

Unfortunately, their coordination was not very successful this time. The rope they threw out did not lasso the lynx's neck. Instead, it aroused the lynx's ferocity. It bit the rope and flung the people holding the two ends of the rope into the deep pit, clearly seeking revenge for the injuries it had suffered earlier.

The two companions roared, rolled to the lynx's feet, and grabbed a huge bone, smashing it hard against its injured leg.

Yunxi heard the cracking sound of bone breaking. The lynx let out a mournful howl as its leg, pierced by the bone spike, completely lost its ability to support itself.

The lynx opened its mouth frantically, tearing at everything in its path. Although it missed its target, it managed to scare away the people surrounding it. Then, when the man with the stone hammer failed to mount an effective attack, the lynx used its intact right hind leg to leap out of the encirclement and ran away.

Yunxi was dumbfounded. She never expected that the giant beasts here would be so sensible. She would never believe that they did not have intelligence.

After watching the whole thing, DianDian transmitted her voice:
"Master, what should we do next?"

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

“They’ve already set a trap, waiting for me to come to them. We can’t let them work for nothing.”
