There is a beast in the bright morning.

In the Caiyun Mountains, Tianlu and Haochen were walking one after the other.

Tianlu walked ahead, occasionally lowering his head to sniff the ground, as if searching for something. But if you looked closely, you would notice that Tianlu's eyes were somewhat evasive, as if he was deliberately avoiding Haochen behind him.

Hao Chen naturally knew what Tian Lu was thinking. It was simply that this mission was somewhat dangerous, and because of his impulsive actions, he had dragged Hao Chen into it as well. Therefore, Tian Lu felt guilty and dared not face Hao Chen.

Seeing Tianlu's cautious manner, Haochen was both amused and annoyed. In the end, Haochen jumped a few times and came to Tianlu's side.

"Wait a minute, Tianlu, don't walk so fast!"

Seeing this, Tianlu lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, Haochen, I know I was wrong. Why don't you go back and wait for me?"

Hao Chen touched Tian Lu's nose with his own, and when he saw Tian Lu look up at him, Hao Chen said, "What are you saying, Tian Lu? We're friends. How could friends abandon each other?"

Hearing Hao Chen's words, Tian Lu was somewhat moved and realized that Hao Chen did not mean to blame him.

Tianlu tackled Haochen to the ground, rubbing against Haochen's chest repeatedly, and then asked again, "Haochen, are you really not angry with me for making you do such a dangerous thing?"

Hao Chen patted Tian Lu's head: "Alright, how could I blame you? Get up now."

"Ah."

Thus, with Haochen's constant reassurance, Tianlu finally believed that Haochen really didn't blame him for making the decision on his own.

However, Tianlu still said to Haochen, "Haochen, why don't you go back and wait for my news with the Four-Faced Beast? After all, this seems quite dangerous."

"Tianlu, look, you're here again. I've already told you we're friends. How could friends abandon each other!"

Hao Chen looked at Tian Lu in front of him and couldn't help but lick his face. In his heart, he kept exclaiming: Tian Lu is so cute and charming, the more you look at him, the more you like him.

Fortunately, Hao Chen managed to restrain himself and did not forget the task that the four-legged creature had given him, but Hao Chen suddenly realized that they had overlooked a problem.

"Tianlu, we don't seem to know where Jinjiao and Yinjiao were taken, do we?"

"Yeah, we don't know their location, how are we supposed to rescue them? Haochen, do you have any ideas?"

After Hao Chen reminded them of the mission, Tian Lu realized the key point: even if they wanted to rescue Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, they didn't know where to go to rescue them, and they immediately became anxious.

Fortunately, Hao Chen suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Tianlu, didn't the Four-Faced Beast give you a box before? Take it out and take a look, maybe there are some clues."

"Yes, I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Haochen, you're so smart."

"Alright, let's see what the Qilin has given us."

Hao Chen guessed that the box probably contained the horns from the heads of Golden Horn and Silver Horn, because when they descended to the mortal world, the Four-Faced Beast helped Silver Horn find his brother Golden Horn, so as a reward, they each gave one of their horns as collateral to the Four-Faced Beast.

Perhaps only something originating from Jinjiao and his group could sense their location.

Tianlu quickly retrieved the box that the Qilin had given him earlier. As the box was opened, two sharp horns, one gold and one silver, came into view, radiating a metallic sheen.

Tianlu picked up two horns from the box and asked curiously, "Haochen, what do you think these are? Could they be snacks that the Qilin prepared for us?"

"Do you think it's possible? Would a creature that doesn't resemble a unicorn be so kind?" Hao Chen asked rhetorically.

"That's true. Haochen, what do you think this is?"

Tianlu thought about it and felt that, based on his understanding of the Qilin, the other party wouldn't be so kind. But with Tianlu's current brain, he couldn't figure out what use this thing was.

"fool!"

Hao Chen lightly tapped Tian Lu's head, and Tian Lu immediately looked at Hao Chen with a wronged expression: "Hmph, Hao Chen, you're not allowed to tap my head. What if you make me stupid?"

"Uh!!" When Tianlu said that, Haochen also felt that he shouldn't have hit him on the head. After all, Tianlu seemed to have lived for a long time and was very old, but perhaps his memories had been touched, which made his mental age like a child. Otherwise, he wouldn't be playing with walnuts.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, Tianlu. It's all my fault."

When Hao Chen saw Tian Lu looking at him with a wronged expression, he couldn't stand it and had to apologize quickly. Tian Lu, upon hearing Hao Chen's apology, chose to forgive him.

Then, Hao Chen took the horns of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn and examined them carefully, while recalling the memories related to them in his mind.

I remember in the anime, Tianlu collided its two horns together, emitting unique sound waves that attracted the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

But now that Golden Horn and his group have been captured, even if they hear the sound waves emitted by their horns, they probably won't be able to come.

"By the way, the magical artifacts in novels all need to be refined and then activated with magic power. Why don't you try injecting magic power into them?"

As a man of action, Hao Chen immediately activated the divine power within his body. As the divine power was injected, a picture suddenly appeared in Hao Chen's mind, in which there was an aura that was clearly the same as the horn in his hand.

"We've found Tianlu. Jinjiao and the others are at Nanshan. Let's hurry over."

Once they had a location, Hao Chen and Tian Lu stopped wandering around like headless flies and started running quickly towards Nanshan.

The southern part of the Caiyun Mountains is a place where mountains connect to mountains and caves connect to caves, with an exceptionally complex terrain. Even the natives of the Caiyun Mountains dare not easily set foot in this place.

What's even more terrifying is that there's an extradimensional portal in Nanshan, and nobody knows how it came about.

However, this dimensional portal allows communication with countless other worlds, and even beings from other worlds can travel through it to the Rainbow Cloud Mountains. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to call this a forbidden zone.

At this moment, in the South Mountain, there is a strange space. Although it is located between the Rainbow Cloud Mountain Range and the other world, there is only one passage leading to the Rainbow Cloud Mountain Range. As for the passage leading to the other world, it has long since collapsed and been buried in the boundless void.

This space was also Hao Chen and Tian Lu's destination. This strange space was not very large. There was only a broken continent about ten kilometers long and wide inside, with churning chaotic energy at the edge of the continent.

At this moment, hundreds of cages of various sizes were placed in the middle of the continent. The cages were specially made of special metal and were imprinted with many ancient runes.

Each cage contains one or more spirits, and outside each cage stands a half-meter-long, jet-black scorpion.

In the very center of the continent, there is a hamster cage made of a special metal, which holds the beasts that Hao Chen and Tian Lu are trying to rescue—Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

"Brother, what should we do? It'll be our turn soon. We're doomed."

"Don't worry, little brother. Boss Si must already know that we've been arrested. He's probably calling for people to rescue us now."

Just then, a scorpion more than a meter long crawled over from a distance. When Jinjiao and his companions saw the scorpion, they immediately became agitated.

In particular, after seeing the giant scorpion, Golden Horn immediately thought of how many monsters had been taken to a strange altar by this giant scorpion before him.

As a result, after these monsters were thrown onto the altar by the giant scorpion, an unseen force instantly drained their life essence, turning them into specks of light and disappearing from the faces of Golden Horn and the others.

Golden Horn, terrified, hid behind Silver Horn and said, "Brother, what should we do? They're coming."

Silver Horn was in a terrible panic: "I wanted to ask you that too, brother."

The thought of being thrown onto the altar soon terrified Jinjiao and the others, causing them to collapse to the ground.

But the next moment, the void of the strange space emitted a series of buzzing sounds, and then two figures tore through the void and rushed in.

"Brother, look! It's the reinforcements that Boss Four has brought. Now we don't have to get up."

"Yes, we're saved, brother."

The two figures in the void were Hao Chen and Tian Lu, who had come to rescue Jin Jiao and the others.
