Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 214: Beast Nest
"The key and the mask. We didn't even see the monster, but we were already defeated in two cities. It's going to be tough!"

Wei Xi didn't say anything. Fei Yang said that it was difficult to fight, not that it was impossible. She wanted to listen to the other party's plan first.

As expected, Fei Yangxu bowed to Wei Xi and said, "If we plan carefully, we may still be able to fight!"

"My fellow Daoists, this Qing-Swallowing Beast is the Zhenhai Sect's divine beast. Logically, it's quite powerful and could easily charge out and finish us off. Why bother with all this convoluted thinking?"

"It's simply that the trial ground has its rules, or it's injured. In any case, we're not doomed!"

Wei Xi was still waiting for Fei Yangxu's brilliant plan, but when this guy said this, he looked at everyone with anticipation, his eyes were a little too clear.

"..." It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Speechless, Wei Xi cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, the Qing-Swallowing Beast even dared to hurt the disciples of the Zhenhai Sect. It shows that the trial field has basically no restrictions on it."

"There's a saying that the Sea-Suppressing Swallowing Beast was split in two by the founder of the Sea-Suppressing Sect. Given the current situation, I'm afraid the Swallowing Beast's strength has been greatly weakened, which is why it's resorting to so many tricks."

Yu Jin slapped his thigh, "Brother Wei, what you said makes sense. This thing is probably only at the Foundation Establishment stage! Otherwise, why would the trial field limit the spiritual power of these people?"

"Hmph, it never imagined that we have Fellow Daoist Wei, a master who surpassed his level and defeated a Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

"Is that thing on your head just for fun?" Qin Feng said sarcastically with a look of disdain, "The Zhenhai Sect's trial field is at least five hundred years old. How come the Qing-Swallowing Beast hasn't recovered in five hundred years?"

The smile on Yu Jin's face froze. "This...this matter...I was inconsiderate. I forgot that the trial field has always restricted cultivation..."

Although the disciples of Zhenhai Sect were vague about other matters at the trial field, some basic information was confirmed by many parties: the trial field had been operating stably for many years, and only in the past two years did strange things start to happen more frequently; the trial field had always been used by young disciples, and the restrictions on foundation-building cultivation had never changed.

"The Qing-Swallowing Beast is a demonic beast. Even if only some of its abilities remain, we cannot resist it."

Wei Xi paused, "But it's not all bad news. At least after entering the Qing-Swallowing Beast's belly, they are familiar with each other."

In this situation, no one could laugh.

Wei Xi felt very sorry, and perfunctorily comforted a few people before continuing, "Since that's the case, the most urgent thing is to try to reunite with other teams!"

"If we gather everyone's supplies together in one place, we might be able to find the monster's secret."

Wei Xi's words were well thought out: this monster tried every possible means to take away the things on their bodies, which meant that the three things on their bodies were very effective against it.

Since you have lost your place to stand and have "lost" face, you must preserve your only remaining chance.

Unfortunately, the monster's weakness has not yet been identified. For convenience, Wei Xi can ignore the lives of his teammates and trick them into conducting the test.

However, they still had to fight the monster in the end. The disparity in strength between the two sides required close coordination from Wei Xi's team. The team was functioning well now, and every extra person meant more strength.

This forced Wei Xi to turn his attention to other people.

For example, those fellow Taoists who attempted to rob the execution ground but failed.

As for the battle with the Qing-Swallowing Beast, Wei Xi wasn't worried. Even though the cultivators' spiritual powers were restricted by the Trial Field, the Wei Xi of today was no longer the Wei Xi of yesterday. She had seen a bit of the world and knew that the Qingcheng Sect was the only poor sect in the world of immortal cultivation.

Which of these cultivators who emerged victorious in the sect competition was not a treasured treasure of their sect? Their bulging Qiankun bags were filled with valuables that could not be purchased.

Bring me all the talismans, monsters, and magic weapons!

Wei Xi believed that this method could effectively contain the power of the Qing-Swallowing Beast. As for whether it could be quickly passed and how many people would be injured, it would depend on the growth rate of the major capital groups.

Wei Xi's calculations were clattering, and his next move was to find those monks who had caused a disturbance in the execution ground but disappeared without a trace.

"In this case, we need to search deep into the mountains and forests. Can we be sure to find these monks just by doing this?" Bao Jinku rarely said a few words that hit the nail on the head.

Senior Brother Wang Xin saw through Wei Xi's intentions and said, "This isn't difficult. Ultimately, everyone wants to complete the trial. No matter what the outcome, we all have to find that monster."

"In that case, why don't we wait near the monster's lair and find the missing fellow Taoists."

Senior Brother Wang Xin is indeed a shrewd and calculating person, and he is quite capable when it comes to plotting against others.

His plan was ruthless and he completely understood Wei Xi's implication: not to tell the other party about his situation, or even just to hide outside and observe, using those fellow Taoists to step on the minefield.

It’s just a pity that Senior Brother Wang Xin has no way to use his spiritual power now, otherwise he would have someone to do the work for him and someone to think for him, which would be so cool.

How can anything in this world be perfect? Even achieving nine out of ten perfections is extremely rare, let alone perfect.

However, there is no need to explain the calculations behind this, as everyone is good at pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth.

Having made up their minds, they set off, dragging the five still unconscious people on the cart. The things in the bundle had become like hot potatoes, unable to be thrown away or moved.

This time, no one complained about the cart slowing down the operation: after all, the five men were walking bait, and everyone knew it. But no one was morally condemned, as they had truly saved these people.

The reward for saving a life is too high, so the creditor can only reach an agreement while the other party is "sleeping soundly".

Today's weather is not as clear as yesterday. Dark clouds cover the entire visible sky of the trial field, which is a blessing for these monks who are traveling in the mountains.

Three quarters of an hour later, the worried team reached the halfway point of the mountain. The road here was even more difficult to walk on: wild weeds, overgrown vines, and huge rocks wrapped in tangled roots...

The monks who usually relied on spiritual power were somewhat helpless in the face of this situation. Fortunately, there were a few people from poor families who led the way with knives, guiding the others to follow the footprints.

Wei Xi kept an eye out for nearby traces. Finally, she discovered a large number of weathered bones near a rock formation. There were also some remaining fur, some still wet, and the dark bloodstains attracted flies.

Wei Xi, a hunter's daughter, was experienced in tracking and could tell at a glance that this was the nest of some kind of animal.

There were no other obvious signs of large animal activity nearby, which confirmed Wei Xi's belief: this was the lair of a very powerful demonic beast.
