Chapter 638

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. He quickly closed his mouth and nose, kicked the beast's horn, and kicked the beast's head off. Then, without delay, he launched a spell with his left hand. A transparent light shield was released from Zhang Xiaohua's hand and quickly flew toward the three leaf cypress grass, covering the three leaf cypress grass in it. At this time, the guardian beast roared and rushed over again.

Zhang Xiaohua was rather carefree. She used the Imperial Wind Technique and flew into the air. After a distance, she waved her hand and the light shield flew up from the ground with the three leaf cypress grass and directly into Zhang Xiaohua's hand. Zhang Xiaohua then took out a jade box from her money pouch and quickly put it in. Then, she flew forward and cast a spell on the jade box. Finally, she put the jade box back into her money pouch.

Below Zhang Xiaohua's feet, the guardian beast was already envious. It abandoned the swamp and chased after Zhang Xiaohua in the air. Along the way, it easily broke the trees that were blocking its way.

Seeing that she couldn't shake off the beast, Zhang Xiaohua landed and burrowed into the ground, heading in another direction.

That beast chased Zhang Xiaohua to the place where she landed. When it couldn't find Zhang Xiaohua's shadow, it was incomparably furious. It broke the surrounding flowers and trees until they were all razed to the ground. It was also tired so it roared and walked back.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua had burrowed to a place where the fragrance of flowers permeated the air.

This place was already out of the forest and was a low-lying area. The whole area was about twenty feet in radius and there were countless flowers and plants. Naturally, there were also many valuable medicinal herbs. Zhang Xiaohua burrowed out of the ground and came to a corner of the low-lying area. Looking at the medicinal herbs here, she was a little confused. The medicinal herbs here were obviously growing much better than in other places. Previously in Rejuvenation Valley, Tian Mu Peak, opposite the river, and in the forest just now, it was all incomparable.

When Zhang Xiaohua released her divine sense, she discovered that the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in this low-lying area was so dense that she had never seen it before. Zhang Xiaohua was deep in thought. If there was such dense Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, it was understandable that the medicinal herbs could grow so well.

However, another question arose. Why was the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi here much denser than in other places?

Although this kind of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi was not enough for one to step into the ranks of the Immortal Dao, it was still enough to make people raise their eyebrows.

Zhang Xiaohua was about to investigate in detail when she suddenly heard the cry of a bird. That sound actually went straight into Zhang Xiaohua's Niwan Palace, causing Zhang Xiaohua's entire mind to tremble. "What kind of bird is this?" Zhang Xiaohua was shocked.

Immediately, she used God's Guidance with all her might to eliminate the discomfort in her mind.

Zhang Xiaohua looked up and saw a huge bird of prey flying over from the south. Its wings were about ten feet wide and its body was also about ten feet long. Its entire body was covered in golden feathers that shone under the sunlight. The bird's head was also huge and there was a circle of long white fur around its neck. The eyes on the bird's head were the size of a fist and were staring fiercely at Zhang Xiaohua. Its long beak was like a sharp sword, opening and closing, occasionally letting out ear-piercing cries.

"Monkey Hunting Bird??" Zhang Xiaohua was greatly shocked.

That day when they came out from the canyon, Zhang Xiaohua asked about some information regarding the human-faced monkeys. Among them, Lu Chaoxian told her about the human-faced monkeys' natural enemy — — the Monkey Hunting Bird.

This Monkey Hunting Bird liked to feed on human-faced monkeys and as long as the Monkey Hunting Bird appeared, the human-faced monkeys could only wait to be captured and obediently let the Monkey Hunting Bird eat the monkeys it liked to eat. When the Monkey Hunting Bird was full, the rest of the human-faced monkeys would be able to escape as if they had been pardoned.

According to Lu Chaoxian's estimation, the last time they encountered so many human-faced monkeys passing through the rainforest, it was most likely that they had just been attacked by the Monkey Hunting Bird.

The human-faced monkeys were so clever and agile, but they were eaten alive by the Monkey Hunting Bird. The most powerful thing about the Monkey Hunting Bird was its ear-piercing cries. As long as the Monkey Hunting Bird cried out, all the monkeys it came into contact with would become limp and collapse to the ground, allowing the Monkey Hunting Bird to wantonly ravage them!

It was a pity that the Monkey Hunting Bird encountered Zhang Xiaohua today. Not to mention Zhang Xiaohua's divine ability as an immortal cultivator, just the golden restriction on the core of his Niwan Palace would not allow the ear-piercing cries of the Monkey Hunting Bird to break through in the slightest.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was still standing there unharmed, a hint of anger flashed through the Monkey Hunting Bird's eyes. When it flew closer, its huge wings flapped, and there was actually a faint sound of wind and thunder. Its long beak, which was like a sharp sword, attacked Zhang Xiaohua together with a huge gust of wind.

Zhang Xiaohua frowned. She stretched out her hand and took out the Jade Water Sword from her bosom. She injected some true qi into it, and a sword ray that was three feet long emerged from her body. Following a wave of Zhang Xiaohua's right hand, the entire sword ray was like a real long sword, chopping towards the Monkey Hunting Bird's long beak.

Seeing the brilliance of the sword ray, the Monkey Hunting Bird seemed to know how powerful it was. It did not dare to use its long beak to meet the attack head-on. It nodded its head slightly, and as if it knew a wondrous sword technique, it pointed towards Zhang Xiaohua's wrist.

Zhang Xiaohua retracted her hand, and the sword ray was like a spirit snake flicking its tongue towards the long beak that was pecking at her. A crisp "ka" sound was heard as the sword ray and the Monkey Hunting Bird's long beak collided. Although the Monkey Hunting Bird's long beak was powerful, how could it compare to the sword ray?

Following that, a light sound was heard as the sword ray pierced the Monkey Hunting Bird's long beak. The Monkey Hunting Bird was shocked. It flapped its wings forward, and its entire body moved backwards. Zhang Xiaohua did not chase after it. Instead, she slashed the sword ray towards the Monkey Hunting Bird's wings.

Indeed, with a few "puchi, puchi" sounds, a few feathers fell from the Monkey Hunting Bird's wings. The Monkey Hunting Bird's wings were strong, and its feathers were hard. Usually, it would not be at a disadvantage when facing an enemy. Today, when it met Zhang Xiaohua, in just one round, not only was its sword-like long beak injured, many of its feathers were also shaved off. The Monkey Hunting Bird who had suffered a great loss did not fly into a rage out of humiliation. Instead, it flapped its wings and soared up. Without even looking at Zhang Xiaohua, it immediately flew towards the other side of the depression.

"Wow!" Zhang Xiaohua saw this and was very surprised. This Monkey Hunting Bird was really too smart. He had already prepared other backup plans, and was even going to take out Chasing Dream. But this Monkey Hunting Bird did not even retaliate. Once it saw that it was not its opponent, it immediately fled. This … was this still a bird?

Such a smart and powerful bird, even if the human-faced monkey was so clever, it was still easily hunted down by the Monkey Hunting Bird!

When the Monkey Hunting Bird flew far away, Zhang Xiaohua then released his spiritual awareness and carefully observed everything in this depression. When he saw the middle of the depression, there was obviously a huge bird's nest. He then understood that this depression was actually the home of the Monkey Hunting Bird. He was standing in front of its door, no wonder it was attacked by it.

And he had indiscriminately chased the owner away, this … was this considered as a turtledove occupying a magpie's nest???

It was just that, since he had already chased it away, what was the use of thinking about this now?

Zhang Xiaohua looked for a long time and did not discover any array or prohibition on this depression. This made him even more puzzled. The Qi of Heaven and Earth was related to spiritual herbs, but if there was no special place here, how could it be richer than other places?

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua patted his head, made a gesture, and immediately escaped into the depression. Nonsense, he couldn't see any clues on the ground, of course, he had to look underground.

Sure enough, as Zhang Xiaohua escaped underground, he felt that the Qi of Heaven and Earth here had a little change. Although this change was very subtle, it was enough to show that the answer he wanted to find was below.

However, the more Zhang Xiaohua went down, the more troublesome he felt. It was like walking in the sand with his feet wrapped in the sand. Walking was extremely difficult, and his speed gradually slowed down. Moreover, the cyan light shield formed by the Qi was slowly compressed inside. Zhang Xiaohua also gradually felt a majestic pressure on his body, like a huge mountain gradually pressing on his body.

"Eh?" Zhang Xiaohua was a little surprised and stopped the Earth Escape. As a result, the pressure no longer increased, and the light shield did not shrink inside. Then, Zhang Xiaohua escaped to the ground for a while, and the light shield slowly expanded, and the pressure on his body slowly reduced.

Stopping again, Zhang Xiaohua stroked his chin thoughtfully. In the past, when he used the Earth Escape Technique, he had never gone so deep, so he didn't feel so many changes. Now, it seemed that the depth of the Earth Escape Technique was related to his cultivation level. The deeper he went, the greater the pressure, and the light shield formed by his Zhen Qi needed to be stronger. If he went to a certain depth, he probably wouldn't be able to go any further.

En, it seemed that when he escaped in the magma on the deserted island, it was much deeper than this. However, magma may be different from pure earth. At that time, he also used the Fire Earth Escape Technique, so there should be some variations.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua injected the Qi into the light shield and went straight down. After a while, Zhang Xiaohua felt that the light shield had been pressed to his body, and the pressure on his body was also very great. However, he waved his arms up and down. Eh?

He could move freely.

"Is it related to the bone-honing of the Fist of the North Star?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought to himself, "Forget it, it is a good thing anyway. Although I can't continue to go down, I can still move freely under such pressure. Even if I encounter any danger, I can deal with it."

Zhang Xiaohua then used his Divine Sense to explore the surroundings. Suddenly, he was stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He made a gesture and went down for more than fifty feet to the right. He stopped in front of a stone as white as jade. It turned out to be a piece of jade!

"Jade lode?" A huge question mark flashed in Zhang Xiaohua's mind.

Previously, Zhang Xiaohua heard from Bai Huan and others that the disciples of Shuyu Hall specialized in digging jade. The jade boxes used by the Pill Expansion Hall were all provided by Shuyu Hall, and this jade was probably not exposed to the outside world. It should be like the jade in front of Zhang Xiaohua, buried deep underground. However, if the jade in Nine Radiance Peak was buried so deep, how could the disciples of Shuyu Hall mine it?
