Chu Ci approached Julu cautiously, fearing to disturb the sleeping beast. Julu was so huge that its breathing made a sound of wind.

As he got closer, Chu Ci felt a little nervous and finally stopped ten feet away.

Chu Ci tore off the breath-suppressing talisman without hesitation. At the same time, a flash of golden light appeared on his chest and shot straight towards Julu's forehead.

At the moment when Chu Ci tore off the breath-suppressing talisman, the giant deer seemed to sense something. Its ears suddenly stood up, as if it was listening to the movements around it. Its closed eyes kept moving, as if it was trying to open them and see the sudden change clearly.

However, for some unknown reason, those heavy eyelids could never be completely opened.

Poof, the golden pen sank into the air.

Julu was suddenly attacked in his sleep, like a thunderbolt, and woke him up directly from his dream.

Its brain felt like it was struck by lightning in an instant, causing excruciating pain. Its body involuntarily ejected itself and it let out a terrified scream.

Chu Ci did not give it any chance to breathe. The golden pen turned into a golden light again and attacked the back of Julu's head fiercely.

With a swish, the golden pen accurately inserted into Julu's mind again.

Julu let out an even more miserable howl and suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw that it was Chuci, his eyes were filled with hatred and madness.

Then he rushed towards him regardless of everything, his huge body bringing with it a strong wind, as if he wanted to smash Chu Ci to pieces.

The giant deer was a level 5 monster. Although it was badly injured, its vitality was still strong and could not be ignored. Its counterattack before death was particularly fierce, as if it was going to overturn the entire cave.

Chu Ci was well prepared. He disappeared from the spot in a flash and reappeared in mid-air.

He reached out and took out the five-colored feather fan, and with a quick wave, the dark green Yuan-devouring Phantom Fire roared out and headed straight for the giant deer.

Julu was too badly injured and was at the end of his strength. After this death shock, he felt his mind was foggy and dark in front of his eyes, and his limbs were so weak that he was about to collapse.

The Yuan-devouring Phantom Fire hit the deer's back hard and penetrated into the giant deer's body.

Julu shuddered and his eyes suddenly widened, then gradually lost their luster. In the end, he could not withstand the power of the Yuan-Devouring Phantom Fire. He fell to the ground with a thud and never moved again.

Dead? Chu Ci thought to himself as he looked at the giant deer lying on the ground.

But he did not approach immediately. Instead, he remained vigilant and observed the other party's movements from a distance.

After confirming that Julu had indeed lost his life, Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward.

At this moment, something strange happened. A small ray of light suddenly appeared on the giant deer's body. At first it was only the size of an egg, but it expanded at an astonishing speed and instantly turned into a ball of dazzling golden light, the range of which even exceeded the size of the giant deer itself.

Chu Ci was shocked, and a word immediately popped up in his mind - self-destruction.

This is an ability that only Jindan-stage monks can possess. When Jindan-stage monks feel that they cannot escape death, they sometimes choose this extreme method to perish together with the enemy.

As a fifth-level monster, Julu’s strength is equivalent to that of a human cultivator at the Jindan stage.

The consequences of self-destruction are extremely serious. Not only will the body turn to ashes, but the soul will also completely dissipate.

Chu Ci knew that it was too late to escape from the cave. He had to make a decision immediately, otherwise he would die once the golden light burst out.

At the critical moment of life and death, he activated the teleportation skill without hesitation and rushed towards the cave entrance at full speed.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a blue circle in the center of the cave.

This circle looks like some kind of formation, but it definitely can’t be an ordinary thing if it can exist in this mysterious cave.

Chu Ci's mind moved, and he made a decision almost instantly. He changed direction and flew towards the space behind the circle.

Just as he arrived near the mysterious circle, the golden light behind him suddenly exploded like ignited gunpowder, and the entire cave was instantly covered by a dazzling golden light.

Chu Ci felt his eyes were stung and he had to close them quickly. Then, a deafening roar came from his ears, and the whole cave shook violently under this sound.

A strong impact rushed in all directions from the direction of Julu, affecting all places except the place where Chu Ci was hiding.

After a while, the sound of the explosion gradually subsided, and Chu Ci dared to slowly open his eyes. The scene in front of him made him gasp.

The entire cave has become a mess. The place where precious spiritual plants and herbs once grew is now only a ruin.

All those spiritual herbs he had just seen had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a charred and broken state.

Chu Ci's eyes fell on the vine plant he had seen before, and saw that it was also affected by the giant deer's explosion and shattered. Only the part near the root was barely preserved because it was relatively thick, while the thinner vines and leaves on it disappeared without a trace.

This scene once again confirmed the astonishing power of the self-detonation. Even for Chu Ci, if he was hit by the explosion at close range, he would probably find it difficult to escape unscathed.

The only thing in the cave that was not affected was the blue circle, which still stood intact in the center of the cave.

And it was because Chu Ci was standing behind the circle that he was not affected by the explosion.

Chu Ci couldn't help but feel surprised. He looked carefully and found that this was indeed a formation, and it looked quite familiar.

His mind moved. Isn't this the second formation recorded in the jade slip of Ancestor Wulong?

Chu Ci had studied it carefully before, so he was very familiar with this formation.

A thought came to Chu Ci's mind: Could it be that the Wulong Patriarch had also discovered this place? And his ultimate goal was to break this formation?

Thinking of this, he quickly took out the jade slip, probed his spiritual sense into it, and observed it carefully.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and a solemn look appeared on his face.

It was not difficult to see from the jade slip that the two were indeed the same formation, and the solidity of this formation was far beyond his imagination.

This can be confirmed from the explosion just now, which is equivalent to the self-detonation of a Jindan cultivator cannot shake it in the slightest. It can be seen that this formation cannot be destroyed by ordinary external forces.

This made Chu Ci more certain of his guess that the purpose of the Wulong Patriarch was to break this formation.

The method recorded in the jade slip requires six Jindan cultivators to work together to break the formation. No wonder he wanted to use the Yuan Devouring Phantom Fire to control the others. It turned out that it was for this.

Thinking of this, everything seems to make sense. The reaction of the giant deer when it saw the Yuan-devouring Phantom Fire showed that it was familiar with this kind of fire and had suffered losses from it before.

Besides him, it seems that the only one who can use this trick is Old Ancestor Wu Long.

As for the giant deer's incredibly fast speed and sudden healing of its wounds, Chu Ci guessed that it was most likely because it had eaten some kind of magical herb, or the unknown fruit on the vine.

This fruit may have magical effects, such as being able to quickly heal injuries or increase speed.

However, these speculations can no longer be completely resolved due to the explosion just now.

This earth-shattering explosion not only completely destroyed all the spiritual herbs in the cave, but also turned the precious antlers and demon pills of the level 5 giant deer into ashes.

These should have been Chu Ci's gains, but they disappeared in an instant, making him feel extremely heartbroken.

Fortunately, the section of vine near the root survived tenaciously. Hope suddenly surged in Chu Ci's heart, and he quickly walked towards the section of vine.
