An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

"Senior, how far do we have to go?" Near noon, when everyone was resting, Xiang Tianlei lowered his voice and asked respectfully.

He had been in constant fear for the past half day. Even an experienced hunter like him was a little overwhelmed, not to mention the little girl Mingjing.

However, Xiang Tianlei was a little surprised by the tenacity shown by this little girl. Even though she was sweating profusely and almost exhausted, she never fell behind.

"almost."

Jiang Jie still had his eyes closed to rest. He said something softly, and then nothing else happened.

"How soon will it be?"

Xiang Tianlei shouted in his heart, but he only dared to vent his anger in his heart. If he really shouted out loud, he would probably be beheaded in the next moment.

Xiang Tianlei glanced at Chen Yuxiu and Shou Hou'er, who also looked like they had "nothing to say". They were all spirit beast hunters, and now they were in this forest full of prey, and they were not allowed to touch any good thing they saw. How could they not feel aggrieved?

Although it is frustrating, there is nothing I can do about it.

It was not until today that the three realized that they were being "held hostage"!

But what would it matter if they knew? Even if several people joined together, they probably couldn't hurt the other party.

That was a sixth-rank magic cultivator wearing a protective magic weapon! They didn't have a rare treasure like the "Spirit Breaking Arrow".

The three of them kept communicating with their eyes and expressions, and in the end, their faces were almost cramping, but they still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Xu Fu watched the three people "making faces" with great interest. He was very interested in their way of communication, but this was not something that could be learned in a short time, so Xu Fu was just watching the fun.

Suddenly, Jiang Jie opened his eyes abruptly, raised his hand and swung out a wind blade.

The wind blade shot into the grass, and then everyone heard a low growl of a wild beast.

"There is a spirit beast!"

Xiang Tianlei, Chen Yuxiu and Shouhouer reacted very quickly and immediately picked up their weapons, ready to "fight the enemy."

The little girl Mingjing was a little slow. When she realized something was wrong, her first reaction was to pounce on Jiang Jie.

This pounce was in vain. After Jiang Jie released the wind blade, he immediately rushed towards the bushes.

"Follow!"

At the command, he took the lead and chased after him.

Xiang Tianlei and the other three reacted immediately. It seemed that this "master" had found his target. This meant that as long as they helped capture the spirit beast, the three of them could go back.

Thinking of this, Xiang Tianlei and Shou Houer didn't bother to pack up their things, and followed with their own tools. Chen Yuxiu was not as anxious as the two of them, and once again protected Ming Jing, who was pale.

Just when she was about to greet her Yutian brother, Chen Yuxiu suddenly discovered that the man had disappeared without a trace.

……

Xu Fu naturally went after Jiang Jie.

Almost at the moment Jiang Jie moved, he also moved.

However, he did not chase along the same path that Jiang Jie took, but instead opened up a new path from a few feet away.

Xu Fu had extraordinary hearing ability and could easily determine the location of Jiang Jie and the spirit beast. With his level of cultivation, he naturally did not need to worry about losing them, but he tried not to make any noise as much as possible for fear of disturbing the man and the beast.

Xu Fu did not see the spiritual beast and did not know what it was, but its speed was not too fast. Jiang Jie was always about three feet away from it, neither approaching nor moving away, just following it at a distance.

"really!"

Xu Fu had previously guessed that Jiang Jie's purpose was not as simple as the spirit beast, and now it was almost certain that he had other intentions.

Many spiritual beasts will flee back to their nests when they are injured or frightened, and spiritual beasts usually choose to build their nests in places with the most abundant spiritual energy. It seems that the nest of this spiritual beast should be Jiang Jie's destination.

"But why bring so many people?"

Xu Fu had another doubt in his mind. He had also thought of using this method to find the immortal cave, but he had never thought of taking other people with him.

"Could it be that there are too many spiritual creatures in the nest and he is afraid that he can't get them all?"

Xu Fu was thinking but he did not stop. His figure was like a leopard, moving silently in the dense forest.

They chased like this for about an incense stick of time.

Even experienced spirit beast hunters like Xiang Tianlei and Shou Hou'er were struggling and were left further and further behind by Jiang Jie. As for Chen Yuxiu and Ming Jing, they had long disappeared.

Only Xu Fu followed effortlessly, and sensed many spirit beasts along the way, some of which were even of higher rank than the one Jiang Jie was chasing. However, Jiang Jie didn't care at all, and just followed closely behind the injured spirit beast without missing a step.

It was not known whether the spirit beast was exhausted or injured, but after an incense stick of time, its speed slowed down significantly.

Despite this, Jiang Jie did not move forward to kill it. He also deliberately slowed down and kept a distance of more than three meters from the spirit beast.

This further confirmed Xu Fu's guess that Jiang Jie's target was definitely not just a spiritual beast.

Suddenly, Xu Fu discovered that the footsteps of the spirit beast had disappeared.

"Have you stopped?"

Xu Fu was surprised. He slowed down and listened carefully, and suddenly found that Jiang Jie's voice had also disappeared.

Xu Fu was slightly startled. He did not bother to hide his whereabouts and his spiritual awareness quickly expanded.

He suddenly discovered that not only the sound, but even his spiritual sense could not sense the existence of Jiang Jie and the spirit beast.

Xu Fu hurriedly ran towards the direction where Jiang Jie disappeared. He was sure that people would not disappear for no reason, so something must have happened.

Xu Fu quickly looked for the place and found that the traces of the man and the beast were still obvious on the ground. The trampled weeds and broken dead branches all proved that they had just passed by here.

But why did it suddenly disappear?

Xu Fu followed the traces and soon discovered that they pointed to a tree hole.

An inconspicuous tree hole.

In this forest, ancient trees several arms thick can be seen everywhere. This tree hole has no special features except that it is slightly larger. If it were not for the obvious traces on the ground, Xu Fu would never have thought that this man and this beast would get in here.

Xu Fu did not dare to be careless. He first poured spiritual power into his eyes and used the spiritual fire eyes to investigate. He found nothing unusual. The tree hole was empty. Not to mention a living person, there was not even a mouse.

Xu Fu was even more puzzled. He walked closer and reached his hand into the tree hole to touch it. There was clearly nothing inside, but he had a strange touch.

The fingers felt like they were touching the water, but they didn't feel wet at all. It was as if there was a barrier separating the inside and outside of the tree hole.

"Is it a magic circle?"

Xu Fu guessed in his heart that he had seen the protective formation of Qinglong Shangling Temple and knew that some formations could isolate spiritual power.

However, if this is a magic circle, it doesn’t seem to be used for defense. Xu Fu was able to pass through it easily without using any spiritual power.

"Is this the lair of that spirit beast?"

Xu Fu guessed in his mind and carefully leaned in. After slowly passing through the barrier, a strange scene came into view.
