The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

Once inside, things are not as easy as they are in the outer and middle areas. Here, fourth-order and above demonic beasts roam. If you encounter even one, both of you will lose your lives!

Both of them were only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Let alone a fifth-order demon beast, even a fourth-order one could make them suffer.

However, with the sects blocking their way, their location was relatively safe. The area in front was filled with Golden Core cultivators and elders from the sects, who would never allow fifth or sixth-tier demonic beasts to come out, otherwise the punishment would be severe. Therefore, at most, there were only some third or fourth-tier demonic beasts wandering around here.

Lin Yitang also didn't want to encounter a fifth-tier demon beast, because Jiang Qiushuang hadn't returned yet.

Yes, Jiang Qiushuang, a ghost cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, was sent by her to retrieve the monster egg that Ye Qiuli had thrown away!

Because the situation at the time did not allow the oranges to be picked up—it would be too obvious—only the ghost cultivator, who could perfectly conceal his aura, could do it.

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, Jiang Qiushuang did not return for several days, which made Lin Yitang somewhat worried.

Without Jiang Qiushuang's wide-ranging divine sense, Lin Yitang had to be even more vigilant, carefully probing her surroundings while outwardly pretending to be diligently searching for the Demon Spirit Fruit.

After searching for a while, she turned to Ye Qiuli and asked, "Junior Sister Ye, have you sensed the aura of the Demon Spirit Fruit?"

Ye Qiuli feigned regret and said, "Not yet. That's strange, I clearly heard there are some nearby."

Seeing this, Lin Yitang thought to herself, "Of course, there are no treasures around here at all."

This is the edge of the Endless Forest, where there isn't even a single high-grade spiritual herb normally. And with the beast tide at this time, there are no treasures, but plenty of dangers.

Only people like her and Ye Qiuli, with ulterior motives, would risk their lives to wander around the inner perimeter at this time.

Just as Lin Yitang was silently grumbling to herself, a terrified scream suddenly broke the silence—

"A monster! Run!"

Lin Yitang was startled and quickly looked in that direction, her divine sense spreading out in all directions like a tide.

Sure enough, not far from them, a large group of demonic beasts was rushing towards them, including several powerful third and fourth-tier demonic beasts!

Lin Yitang's expression changed drastically, realizing that Ye Qiuli's plan had probably already begun.

She quickly scanned her surroundings and discovered that there were as many as five or six third- or fourth-tier demonic beasts. In addition, there were a large number of first- and second-tier demonic beasts. At this moment, they had no way to escape!

"Damn it! How can there be so many demonic beasts?"

Lin Yitang gritted her teeth and pretended not to know anything, asking Ye Qiuli.

Ye Qiuli, like Lin Yitang, was also deathly pale, clearly terrified by this sudden turn of events.

She stammered in her defense, "I... I didn't know it would happen like this... How could those monsters suddenly go berserk?"

Lin Yitang snorted coldly. It was Ye Qiuli who had done it herself, but now she was putting on quite a show.

But the current situation is critical, and she has no time to fuss over it.

She quickly activated the spiritual power within her body, raising her defenses to the limit, while secretly preparing the Five Tripods, ready to deal with any sudden attack.

Almost at the same time that Lin Yitang finished all this, the group of demonic beasts had already attacked!

The leading fourth-tier demonic beast, the Iron-Spine Wolf, let out a deafening roar, its sharp claws tearing through the air as it lunged straight at Lin Yitang's face!

Lin Yitang's pupils shrank sharply. At the critical moment, she dodged to the side and at the same time, an ordinary spirit sword issued by the sect appeared in her hand, which she slashed at the Ironback Wolf!

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the Ironback Wolf was sent flying backward by the sword, crashing through several ancient trees before finally coming to a stop.

But it was clearly not seriously injured, and soon roared again and pounced once more.

This scene made Lin Yitang frown.

Because she currently has no spirit blade, she can only use a spirit sword as a weapon, but its power is ultimately insufficient. If she were to use the Void-Severing Strike, the spirit sword would be unable to withstand her spiritual energy and would shatter directly.

At the same time, other demonic beasts launched their attacks. Lin Yitang dodged and weaved, using her agility to evade the attacks and deflect them all.

Although she possessed abundant spiritual energy, she was unwilling to reveal this to Ye Qiuli. If Ye Qiuli also discovered that she had inexhaustible spiritual energy, he would definitely assume she possessed some kind of treasure and try to take it away.

Just then, a faint but firm voice rang in her ear: "Lin Yitang, I'm here to help you!"

Lin Yitang turned around and saw Ye Qiuli appear behind her at some point, charging towards her with a sword raised!

Lin Yitang couldn't help but curse inwardly.

That damned Ye Qiuli, she's already surrounded by so many third and fourth-tier demonic beasts, and they're just making things worse for her.

Does she have any trump cards to protect herself? In the original text, Ye Qiuli didn't seem to have any decent trump cards at this point!

Yuheng did provide some defensive magic items, but that wasn't enough to escape from so many third and fourth-tier opponents.

She subtly dodged Ye Qiuli's hidden sword, but pretended to be in a panic and wanted to run away. She said to Ye Qiuli seriously, "The situation is critical. These demonic beasts are too strong. I'm afraid I can't hold out for long. Let's escape quickly!"

Ye Qiuli, however, remained calm and said to Lin Yitang, "Senior Sister, don't panic. I've already sent a message to Senior Brother, and he'll be here to rescue us soon. If we change our location carelessly, Senior Brother might have a hard time finding us."

Lin Yitang's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly understood Ye Qiuli's scheme. So, her reliance was that senior brother!

With her senior brother's cultivation level, dealing with these third and fourth-tier demonic beasts would be a piece of cake. Once her senior brother has dealt with the beast tide, it will probably be the end for Lin Yitang.

So Lin Yitang pretended to be lacking in spiritual energy, casually fought a few moves with a demon beast, then pretended to be defeated, suddenly biting her tongue and spitting out a mouthful of blood, her face turning pale.

She said to Ye Qiuli in anguish, "I can't take it anymore, Junior Sister Ye. These demonic beasts are too strong. I can't hold on any longer. Let's run for our lives!"

After saying that, she flashed away and sped off in a certain direction, covering several meters in the blink of an eye.

Ye Qiuli was shocked to see this and quickly followed behind, calling out, "Senior Sister, wait for me!"

Lin Yitang ran wildly, quickly leaving the demonic beast behind. She knew that if she stayed there, she would definitely be caught by Senior Brother Ye Qiuli, so she decided to change her position and buy some time.

However, Ye Qiuli was not so lucky.

She was no match for Lin Yitang, who could use escape techniques, and was entangled by the demonic beast after only a short distance.

She was both angry and anxious. She hadn't expected Lin Yitang to be so fast. Her original plan was to get rid of Lin Yitang with her senior brother without anyone noticing, but who knew that such a large beast tide would suddenly appear, disrupting her plan!

That's right, these monsters weren't part of Ye Qiuli's plan; they were just encountered by chance.

Now that Lin Yitang has escaped, she has found herself in a predicament!
