Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Because the mountain was covered with trees with overgrown branches, vehicles couldn't drive up, so everyone had to hike up the mountain. The group walked for three hours before stopping.

Boss Dong shouted from the front, "Everyone, rest here for twenty minutes. The beasts are just ahead. There are many swamps around, and the fog is very thick, so be careful."

Less than ten minutes after he finished speaking, the fog suddenly thickened, and the visible area shrank instantly.

"Come and help me!"

Ye Yu suddenly heard a cry for help from her right. She followed the crowd and saw a man with a European face whose lower body was stuck in the swamp.

Two of his companions were pulling him out with ropes, but the harder they pulled, the faster he sank in, and in the blink of an eye, only his head was sticking out.

Boss Dong shouted from the front, "Don't waste your energy. This swamp is very strange. It's different from other swamps. Once you get in, you won't be able to get out."

No sooner had Dong finished speaking than the European disappeared from sight, only surfacing briefly.

Seeing this, everyone dared not let their guard down and walked even more carefully.

Ye Yu released her divine sense and discovered that they were surrounded by swamps of all sizes.

So she whispered to Zhou Ao and the others, "I have a way to avoid the swamp, so stick close to me."

Seeing that Ye Yu actually had a solution, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and followed her steps forward.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yu suddenly stopped walking.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wei asked.

Something's not right up ahead.

As soon as Ye Yu finished speaking, her divine sense detected a group of fist-sized, jet-black ants attacking them at an incredible speed.

Then she discovered that Boss Dong and his men were using the fog to run in another direction.

Ye Yu turned to Zhou Ao and the others and said in a deep voice, "Ambassador Dong is bluffing, you all stay close to me."

Without wasting any time, he chased after Boss Dong and his group, throwing out several fireball talismans as he ran, burning the ants that caught up with him to ashes.

"Ah! What the hell is this?!"

"Save me, save me quickly!"

The shouts around them started to grow louder.

In just a short while, the ants got close and started eating the person.

The woods were filled with screams, wails, and gunshots.

Some of the smarter ones, noticing that they hadn't seen Boss Dong and that Ye Yu and his group seemed to know the way and were running in one direction, followed them.

Only when they saw Boss Dong did Ali fire a shot at them, and Boss Dong stopped.

"Boss Dong, this seems a bit unfair of you," Zhou Ao said, squinting.

"I was scared too, I've never encountered this situation before," Boss Dong said sincerely.

The group following Ye Yu and the others also cursed, "You're talking nonsense! If you hadn't encountered this before, how could you have left early? How could your people have escaped unscathed?"

After speaking, he looked at his own team, some dead and some wounded, and felt a pang of heartache.

Zhou Ao counted that there were about two hundred people who had caught up, which was more than half less than the number when they first came up the mountain.

However, most people only looked slightly disheveled, and even the elderly people who had been carried earlier came along.

It seems these people are quite capable; otherwise, they wouldn't have followed us here so easily.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Ye Yu again, feeling that she had many tricks up her sleeve, and was also very glad that he had been able to recruit her for help.

Zhou Yi and the others also began to think highly of Ye Yu.

When Boss Dong heard people cursing him like that, he snorted and said, "I said before we set off that life and death are up to fate, and I'm only responsible for leading the way."

Just as tensions were running high, Ye Yu's expression changed. She suddenly looked up to her left and saw trees falling down as if bulldozed, and then she saw a huge head protruding from the ground.

"How did this beast come out from this side?" Boss Dong was clearly surprised that the python had changed its route this time.

The python was seen flicking its scarlet tongue and staring intently at Boss Dong with its vertical pupils.

Without hesitation, Boss Dong fired dozens of rocket launchers at the python, but the snake seemed impervious to bullets and blades and was not harmed in the slightest.

Ye Yu was quite surprised, because this python, like her, was also at the third level of the Qi Refining stage.

"It seems that the herb is indeed Dewdrop Grass," Ye Yu thought to herself with certainty.

The python was extremely angry. It roared to the sky and then lowered its head to spew flames at Boss Dong.

Only then did everyone realize that the rumors were indeed true, and their eyes immediately lit up with fervor.

Under the cover of his many men, Boss Dong dodged an attack in a sorry state and roared, "Hurry up and do it! Only I know where the cave is. If I die, all your efforts will have been in vain."

The Indians who had mocked the old man earlier were the first to act. Each of them took out a flute-shaped instrument and began to play it. The music was extremely strange, but the python's movements became sluggish.

Another group of people, shirtless but covered in runes, also took out several silk threads and, working in pairs, wrapped them around the python several times.

Seeing that the python was immobilized, the others stopped conserving their ammunition and all attacked it. Before long, small wounds appeared on its body.

The python was hurt and struggled violently, uprooting the tree that was entangled by the other end of the thread.

At this moment, Ye Yu saw several afterimages shoot towards the python with a few "whoosh" sounds. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were several throwing knives.

"Controlling artifacts? Could there be cultivators here?" Ye Yu murmured, quickly using his divine sense to investigate. However, apart from a few dozen people with slightly stronger spiritual power, there was nothing else unusual about the crowd.

Ye Yu then examined the throwing knives and discovered that they were simply controlled by divine sense, flying straight out and then straight back in.

She glanced at the crowd and saw a trendy-looking girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with bangs and pigtails, staring intently at the small knives. Clearly, these throwing knives belonged to her.

The knife was so sharp that it actually cut several wounds on the python's tail.

The python, in pain and seeing that it was about to be freed from its restraints, was subdued again when several lamas sat cross-legged and began chanting scriptures. The unfamiliar and difficult-to-understand scriptures seemed to be amplified several times over.

In contrast, Ye Yu and the others did not use their own methods, but simply fired their guns.

A person dressed in a black mid-length robe, wearing a mask and a headband, jumped onto the python's head, drew two knives, one long and one short, from his waist, and plunged them into the snake's eyes.

"Roar!"

The python writhed violently, breaking free of all its restraints, and spewed flames wildly from its mouth, turning the surrounding area into a sea of ​​fire.

While dodging the python's wildly sweeping tail and flames, Ye Yu kept an eye on Boss Dong's movements.

Sure enough! Taking advantage of the chaos, Boss Dong ran off in one of the directions.

This time everyone was smarter and kept a close eye on Boss Dong's movements. As soon as he made a move, they all followed him.

Boss Dong ran wildly, ignoring the people behind him, until he reached a place covered with crown of thorns before stopping.

The crown of thorns here may be growing exceptionally lushly because of the spiritual energy emanating from the medicinal herbs.

Although the flower is beautiful, the thorns on its stem are not as delicate as the flower; on the contrary, they are sharp and unstoppable, forming a natural barrier.

Old Dong looked around, climbed the nearest tall banyan tree, jumped onto a millstone-like rock in the crown of thorns bush, and with a powerful push of his legs, reached the end of the crown of thorns bush.

Then he picked up a vine from the ground, pulled hard on it, tied it around his waist, picked up another one, and slid down the cliff.
