This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

The next day.

Su Yuye and her companion, along with Zhou Pengwu, traveled together to the Huangfeng Mountains.

Huangfeng Mountain Range is a mountain range where monsters gather. Disciples of sects or monster guilds usually come to Huangfeng Mountain Range when they accept missions.

However, due to the presence of sixth- or even seventh-tier demonic beasts deep within the mountains, few people venture into the core area.

As for demonic beasts, they are clearly distinguished from demons and cannot be confused with each other.

Monsters are monsters, and demons are demons.

The essential difference between them is the issue of bloodline.

Demons generally have a bloodline that has been passed down for at least several thousand years, with a long history of bloodline origins, and the demonic power they cultivate comes from demonic essence.

Although most monsters live in groups, they do not value the inheritance of bloodlines, and they don't even have the concept of it.

Most monsters do not have a bloodline that continues for more than three generations.

The demon core cultivated by the demon beast.

The purpose of Su Yu and her group's trip was to visit the ruins, located in the heart of the Huangfeng Mountains.

To reach their destination, they must constantly resist the attacks of monsters.

Upon arriving at the Yellow Wind Mountains, Su Yu and her group were immediately entangled by demonic beasts. Fortunately, their team was strong enough to weather several waves of attacks without serious harm.

nightfall.

In a quiet, dense forest.

The five people sat around a campfire.

"We're now only two hills away from the ruins, and it seems there are other cultivators around the ruins as well," Ye Xuan said slowly.

"Due to the geological issues in the Yellow Wind Mountains, an energy tide will erupt tomorrow, which will weaken the energy supporting the formation at the ruins."

Zhou Pengwu's eyes narrowed. "So tomorrow is the best opportunity to break through the seal on the ruins?"

“That’s right, so we need to get into top form tonight.” Ye Xuan nodded.

"The other cultivators who came after hearing the news should also take note: those who have reached the core of the mountain range must be led by at least one peak King or Emperor level expert."

“Understood, then I’ll take the night watch this time.” Zhou Pengwu volunteered to take on the night watch duty.

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze from Zhou Pengwu and placed it on Su Yu beside him, a strange glint in his eyes.

“Brother Xuanguan, I have a question.”

"What doubts?"

"Having fought countless demonic beasts along the way, why didn't you use any other lightning-based martial arts techniques? Why did you rely solely on the power of lightning to annihilate the demonic beasts?"

Along the way, Ye Xuan observed the other party from time to time. He discovered that this Xuan Guan only cultivated one lightning attribute technique, but did not cultivate any martial arts techniques that could assist in the use of lightning power.

Not a single one.

Even if they encounter a sixth-tier monster.

He would never believe that someone with the strength of an Ascended Emperor Realm cultivator hadn't cultivated a lightning-based technique.

There must be something fishy in this!

Su Yu's face twitched. Oh no, Ye Xuan was starting to suspect him again.

He had no choice; although the Tai Ling Qian Fa Jue could simulate any technique, its attack methods were extremely monotonous.

Ye Xuan was familiar with all the martial arts techniques and movement methods he had practiced before.

If I were to use it, my identity would probably be exposed.

"Lightning-based techniques are rare, and lightning-based martial arts are even rarer. In addition, I am without a sect or school, so naturally I don't have many good martial arts techniques."

"is it?"

Hearing Su Yu's explanation, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Roar! !

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from a thousand meters away in the forest, and a terrifying aura swept through the mountains and forests, pressing down on everyone's hearts like a mountain.

Su Yu and her team immediately stood up and stood on guard.

"This aura... it's actually a seventh-tier demonic beast?!"

"How is this possible! Aren't they supposed to inhabit the deepest parts of the Yellow Wind Mountains? Why are they here??"

Zhou Pengwu was surprised and even showed signs of fear.

There are only two seventh-tier demonic beasts in the Yellow Wind Mountains, and they are some distance away from the ruins.

They didn't expect to encounter one so soon?

Ye Xuan's expression also became serious.

"Someone must have provoked it, and it has been chasing us all the way here."

"Back off! Don't attack it first!"

Su Yu and his group of five quickly retreated, as no one had ever considered facing a demonic beast comparable to a celestial being.

Roar!

However, this level of monster has an incredibly keen sense of smell, and it locked onto its target the instant Su Yu and the others retreated.

It swallowed its prey whole, let out a roar, and charged forward with its ten-foot-tall body, causing towering trees along the way to collapse as it attacked Su Yu and the others.

As they drew closer, the shape of the monster became clearly visible through the moonlight.

That was a ten-zhang-long (approximately 33 meters) male lion.

Its demonic eyes were like blood-red amber, its body was covered in red scales, its thick limbs had extremely sharp claws, and it had a pair of pale red wings on its back.

The entire beast looked majestic and its aura shook the surroundings.

"A seventh-tier demonic beast—the Crimson Winged Lion King?!"

"not good!"

Upon seeing the Crimson Winged Lion King charging towards them, Su Yu and Ye Xuan attacked simultaneously.

The power of thunder and golden spiritual energy collided with the hard scales, and a trace of pain flashed in the Crimson Winged Lion King's eerie pupils as its massive body staggered backward.

This combined attack had an impact on it.

"So strong!"

Not far away, seeing that Su Yu and her companion were able to defeat a seventh-tier demonic beast together, Zhou Pengwu and the other two were all shocked.

They originally thought that the two of them were already outstanding for reaching the level of king and emperor at such a young age, but they were actually able to fight against opponents of higher levels?

However, beyond the shock, there was even more relief at surviving the ordeal.

They might survive the attack from a seventh-tier demonic beast!

Su Yuye Xuan began to fight the Crimson Winged Lion King.

Ye Xuan, in particular, relied on the strength of his Battle Body to confront the demonic beast head-on, engaging in physical clashes.

Despite its tiny size, it showed no fear or timidity when facing a monster the size of a hill.

As for Su Yu, because he concealed his identity and could not use his innate Dao body, swordsmanship, or even the power of immortal spiritual energy, his strength was greatly reduced.

Therefore, the only option is to use Thunder to assist Ye Xuan in ranged attacks.

The thunderous power evolved from divine-level techniques also made things extremely difficult for the demonic beasts.

They fought for a long time with the Crimson Winged Lion King.

Ye Xuan finally returned, his body covered in blood, but his breathing was unusually steady, and the excitement in his eyes was undisguised.

At this moment, he said to Su Yu:

"Brother Xuanguan, this beast's condition has deteriorated. Could you hold it off for a while? I need time to deliver the fatal blow!"

Su Yu nodded slightly, "No problem."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Brother Xuanguan." Seeing that Su Yu agreed, Ye Xuan decisively gathered his energy and focused his mind.

Golden light shot up from his body, and countless dense golden patterns gathered around him.

Ye Xuan seemed to have entered a certain state; he seemed to be unleashing a trump card, but it would take some time.

Roar!

The intelligence of a seventh-tier demon beast is no less than that of an adult, and the Crimson Winged Lion King vaguely sensed a threat from Ye Xuan.

Then it roared to the sky and opened its blood-red maw to bite Ye Xuan.

Su Yu snorted coldly, his figure transforming into a bolt of lightning that constantly darted around the Crimson Winged Lion King, using the power of lightning to entangle with him.

Su Yu's skill level is higher than Ye Xuan's. Although his current methods are monotonous, he is even more troublesome than Ye Xuan.

After suppressing the Crimson Winged Lion King for half a minute, Ye Xuan's aura finally surged.
