Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Guan Xun didn't speak, but instead looked at it with great interest, as if to say, "So what if it explodes?"

Upon seeing this, Eight Silver Earth Bear inwardly cried out in alarm, "Oh no!" That was a medicinal pool!

Seeing the other person's worried expression and his nervous pacing back and forth, Guan Xun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Then, he raised his hand and waved, "Don't worry."

"Really?" Eight Silver Earth Bear breathed a sigh of relief.

……

On the large table, all kinds of food were laid out, and the little monsters who were serving the meat were trembling with fear.

The eight silver bears were annoyed and waved for them to go down.

A bunch of cowards, they get scared even by a simple food dish.

Are you worried that your great-aunt will eat them?

Uh, it paused, realizing that its great-aunt might indeed have eaten them...

On the way here, Guan Xun had already seen many demonic beasts that had died in battle. They were all piled up together, so it was clear that they could not have died from sparring in the Tanyou Cave.

The menacing aura is too strong; they must be the ferocious beasts of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

It seems that during her seclusion, Xiao Ba has been going out quite a bit.

"Have you encountered any mythical beasts outside in the past two years?" she asked.

Upon hearing this, the Silver Bear was clearly shocked. It took a bite of roasted meat and said, "How do you know? I did encounter a divine beast, but I don't know exactly what its expression was like. It seemed to be looking for something, and that lasted for several months."

Guan Xun raised an eyebrow. Only a few months? Bai Liao gave up so easily?

"Grandma, is the other party looking for you?" Bayin asked belatedly.

Seeing that Guan Xun did not deny it, it understood. It slammed its palm heavily on the table and said in a deep voice, "The opponent's strength is in no way inferior to Chi Rong. As long as you stay here, it will have no chance of finding you."

"No," Guan Xun shook his head, "I'm preparing to leave later."

The eight silver bears merely blinked, not surprised at all. That's just how they are; they'd only be shocked if the other party said they wanted to stay long-term.

It has only been here for a little over two years and it has already turned Tanyou Cave into this state. If it had stayed here for a long time, it would have been in a terrible state.

Last time it left, it took all the herbs with it. This time... the herbs are ruined and can't be taken. It doesn't know what else it will want. Thinking about this, it felt a little uneasy.

Oh well, my aunt only comes once every few hundred years, so whatever she likes, she can have. It can only reluctantly give it up.

"Have you decided where you're going?" Yagami asked slowly. "Are you perhaps going to look for your sister?"

Guan Xun paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, did you see which direction she went back then?"

“No.” The Eight-Silver Earth Bear shook its head. It had only managed to escape during the chaos; it had no chance to stay and observe.

Guan Xun picked up a piece of meat that was still sizzling with oil and put it in his mouth. After eating about half of it, he slowly said, "I plan to go to Zhongzhou."

"What?! Zhongzhou?!"

"You understand?"

Xiao Ba was somewhat surprised. It pondered, "No, I just encountered people from that side. I can wander in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, and of course I have been to its edge. There are many people from Zhongzhou who enter the valley there."

"I only know that the region is full of powerful people. It seems that there is a kind of organization called mercenaries that is very popular there. They charge high rewards to hunt or capture monsters or humans."

Huh? Hiring someone to commit murder?

"If you go to the edge of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, you might encounter them, so be careful."

……

Eight Silver Earth Bear kept babbling on and on. He hadn't seen his old friend for hundreds of years and was a little reluctant to part with him. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "You're leaving soon? When is later?"

Within two days.

-

In the quiet cave hall, Guan Xun sat on a blue stone and cleaned out all the items in his storage ring.

The few dresses she had kept inside were taken out and placed on the ground. These were the ones she had prepared before leaving for the academy, but she could no longer wear them this morning.

The very garment she was wearing was so tight it made her uncomfortable.

It seems the first thing to do upon arriving in Zhongzhou is to prepare some clothes.

"Grandma! Let's go!"

The rough shouts of the Eight Silver Earth Bears came from outside the door.

Xiao Ba insisted on seeing her off.

"Let's go! I'll lead the way!" Upon seeing Guan Xun emerge, it immediately patted its chest and took the lead.

Warm sunlight streamed down from the sky. Before the midday sun blazed down, the surrounding temperature was just right for comfort, making it the perfect time to travel.

Once you pass through the steep cliffs of Tanyou Cave, you can directly enter the most central and dangerous area of ​​Wanyao Valley.

Although this area is connected by an inner perimeter, it is covered with trees and shrubs. While it is not as lush as the Illusion Forest, it is by no means sparse.

In addition, the rock walls and crevices were covered with moss that smelled like rust and iron, and the surroundings were unusually damp. Besides the ferocious beasts, there were also a large number of highly venomous and strange animals such as snakes, ants, insects, and rats, which always gave people a stuffy feeling that made it difficult to breathe.

The eight-silver bear reverted to its original form, standing eight meters tall, with a silvery-white body, a pointed snout, and a flat head. It climbed up the cliff with its paws, its only remaining eye darting around as it surveyed the valley below, searching for a place to land.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the ground shook violently, causing trees to sway and cliffs to tremble as rocks tumbled down.

Several ferocious beasts that were roosting nearby lay down on the ground, making warning noises. Their eyes were fierce, but also showed fear.

"What are you looking at? Get out of here! Or I'll tear you apart."

As the eight silver bears growled fiercely, the beasts whimpered and turned to run away.

“Hey, grandma, I’ll take you out of the center.”

As it spoke, it turned its head to look at the person sitting on its shoulders.

Is Xiao Ba planning to escort her all the way to the edge of the area?

Guan Xun immediately shook his head and stood up, supporting his head.

Having finally emerged from seclusion, she definitely needed to practice her skills. The ferocious beasts in this area were far more powerful than those in the inner or middle reaches of the Illusionary Fall Forest. Now was the perfect time to hone her abilities.

"No need to see me off. With my current strength, these ferocious beasts are no match for me," she said.

When Eight Silver Bear saw his aunt's posture, he knew what she wanted to do. She had just come out of seclusion and was itching to practice her skills.

After all, it did the same thing two years ago after recovering from its injuries, sweeping through the inner circle and this area for several months.

"Hahaha, good." A hearty laugh echoed through half the valley. Xiao Ba didn't say much. After the person on his shoulder got off, he let out a clear roar, leaped up, and climbed up the steep rock wall again.

"Grandma, take care!"

Having said that, his figure leaped over the stone wall and disappeared from Guan Xun's sight, leaving only his voice echoing in the valley for a long time...

"Master, I'm ready." Chi Rong perched on Guan Xun's shoulder, its tail wagging eagerly.

"I'm just practicing, what are you going to prepare?" Guan Xun sneered. "You're not allowed to make a move."

Chi Rong:......
