Chapter 649

Somewhere in the Youlan Grand Canyon, there was a remote area with sparse vegetation and strange stones all over the ground. Under the curtain of night, there was a slightly flat open space behind the huge stone. In front of a dozen tents, there were dozens of men and women quietly standing. Only to hear the trembling voice of a woman at the front, "Junior Brother, you say … what is going on?"

The tall man next to her also frowned. Looking at the huge stone in front of him, he said in a low voice, "Senior Sister, I don't know either. However, listening to the roar of the beast, it seems to be in pain. Although we are lost here and can't see any beasts, we still have to be careful. It's still a long time before the Youlan Dusk Refinement ends, it's better to hide first."

"Well, last night I saw a few hidden caves on the mountain behind us. Why don't we hide there first?"

The man waved his hand and said, "Good. Disciples, quickly pack up and don't leave any traces behind. Quickly hide in the caves."

The disciples behind him looked at each other in dismay. They really couldn't figure out why they were so serious. Among them, a younger male disciple walked towards a slim female disciple not far away. That female disciple also looked in their direction. Although there was no light at night, the two seemed to be able to see each other's eyes and read the panic in each other's heart.

Next to the female disciple was another petite girl. She shrunk her shoulders and pulled the girl's hand. She lowered her voice and said, "Senior Sister, let's go to the caves quickly. I'm scared here."

The female disciple retracted her gaze and gently patted the girl's hand to comfort her. Then, she packed up with the others. When there was a faint light on the horizon, there were no traces behind the huge stone. It seemed that no one had ever been here.

In the Easternmost Land, in the strange canyon, Chen Chen and Zixia walked out under the white light. They said while walking, "Junior Sister Apprentice, this canyon is really strange. We got rid of the poisonous bees after a few turns."

Then, he stretched and yawned, "Last night I slept well. When I was adjusting my breathing, I seemed to hear the roar of a beast. I wonder what happened?"

Zi Xia smiled and said, "Little Sister also heard it, and it seemed to have cried out many times. Who knows, this Youlan Grand Canyon is filled with ferocious beasts, it would be strange if it didn't cry out."

Chen Chen nodded and looked at the entrance of the valley in the distance. He said, "The poisonous bees may not be guarding the entrance of the valley. I wonder if we can meet them when we go out?"

Zi Xia knew that Chen Chen just said it casually and didn't care about her answer. She smiled and said, "Yesterday, I panicked and didn't make any preparations. Today, Senior Sister Apprentice has made preparations early. Even if we meet again, there won't be any problem."

Then, he looked at the bright valley entrance and said, "We aren't any flowers or plants. Why would the poisonous bees guard us to death?"

As the two of them talked, they walked into the valley entrance. When they turned a corner, they were stunned on the spot!

There was indeed no black mass of poisonous bees in the sky, but on the ground, there was a black mass of ferocious beasts. From the "Teeth Eating Rat", "Carnivorous Beast", and "Human-faced Monkey" in the front, to the "Blood Wolf", "Thunder Tiger", and "Giant Ape" in the middle, as well as the "Fire Lion", "White Bear", "Giant Elephant", "Mammoth Beast", and so on. Almost all the ferocious beasts that could be seen in the Youlan Grand Canyon were gathered here.

Seeing this, Chen Chen's expression changed. Before Zi Xia could react, he grabbed her hand and immediately flew to the side of the exit. Zi Xia didn't dare to be negligent. She also operated her internal energy and used Qing Gong to follow.

When the group of beasts saw the two of them escaping, they all roared and immediately chased after them.

Although Chen Chen was not afraid of these ferocious beasts, there were too many of them. Moreover, he was carrying Zi Xia whose martial arts were not very strong. Therefore, he could only rely on Qing Gong to go to places where the beasts could not chase. It was not until the sky was bright that they gradually escaped the pursuit of the group of beasts.

However, just when he was about to rest, he suddenly heard a clear voice in front of him. Chen Chen frowned and walked quickly for a moment. He jumped down a mountain stream and saw a woman in red holding a long sword, fighting a dozen "Thunder Tigers" and "Giant Apes"!

Chen Chen did not dare to delay. He pulled Zi Xia and jumped into the circle. Both of them held long swords and joined up with the female disciple. They killed the beasts together...

When the female disciple saw that Chen Chen and Zi Xia had come to help, she felt relieved and her swordsmanship became sharper. The three of them worked together and before long, they had killed most of the beasts. However, the remaining beasts still did not know fear and desperately surrounded the three of them. In the distance, there were even more beasts rushing over. When Chen Chen saw this, he knew that something was wrong and shouted, "Junior Sister, let's go. We'll rush to the exit of the Youlan Grand Canyon and meet up with the other Junior Sisters along the way!"

After saying that, he waved his long sword and killed a few Thunder Tigers. He pulled Zi Xia and rushed out. The other female disciple did not dare to stay behind and used Qing Gong to rush out.

The three of them rushed to the Youlan Grand Prairie like shooting stars. Behind them were countless beasts, roaring as they chased after them...

At this time, on the eastern horizon, the blood-red sun gradually peeked out!

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the cave, Zhang Xiaohua, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. The starlight that shrouded the surroundings flashed and disappeared.

Zhang Xiaohua walked out of the cave and took a breath of the sun's essence. His heart suddenly jumped and he seemed to be a little vigilant. However, when he looked around, there was nothing different. His Divine Sense was also normal. So, he shrugged and practiced the Big Dipper Magical Fist as usual. However, when he finished practicing the fist technique, he frowned and found that there was something different.

In this ordinary morning, there was always a mess of crisp bird calls. However, today, it was dead silent. Not even a bird's cry could be heard.

"What happened?"

Zhang Xiaohua secretly asked. However, looking from afar, the Pill Tower Hall's camp was also quiet and there was nothing different from usual.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Zhang Xiaohua shook his head. There were many strange things in this Youlan Grand Canyon. This strange thing was nothing.

However, when Zhang Xiaohua used his Qing Gong to return to the camp, everything in front of him made him dumbstruck. Yes, no words could describe his current state of mind. He saw that the entire camp was like a slaughterhouse. The solidified brown blood was splattered all over the ground. Occasionally, some pieces of flesh would stick to the tent. The entire camp was filled with the pungent smell of blood!

However, when his Divine Sense swept through, other than a few pieces of bitten bones and some pieces of flesh, there was not even half a person's shadow in sight. Even the horses that were pulling the carriages were nowhere to be seen.

"This... What the hell happened?

Could it be that we met... "

Zhang Xiaohua did not dare to think deeper. At this time, suddenly, from not far away, several Blood Wolves quietly scuttled out. They surrounded Zhang Xiaohua from all directions. The corners of these Blood Wolves' mouths were still stained with blood.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua was furious. He took out Chasing Dream from his bosom and threw it into the air. With a hand seal, Chasing Dream rushed towards the Blood Wolves. Although the Blood Wolves were ferocious, how could they be a match for the furious Zhang Xiaohua? In just a moment, their throats were pierced by Zhang Xiaohua and they died.

Zhang Xiaohua recalled Chasing Dream and used his Qing Gong to return to his tent.

After a few leaps and bounds, he saw the Blood Wolves quietly squatting in front of his tent. Zhang Xiaohua's heart was slightly relieved. After all, his restriction was still effective. If he could save a senior, then he was a senior.

As he slowly walked towards his tent, Zhang Xiaohua's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Looking at the miserable state of the campsite, he knew that the hundreds of lives in the Pill Repository Hall had been lost in the Strange Birch Forest. They had all been eaten by the ferocious beasts. Not even a complete corpse was left behind.

This was the first time he had seen Bai Yuefeng, Jing Shanfeng, and Three Reeds Peak. Even though they were Bai Yuefeng's seniors, he did not have much interaction with them. Other than the eight people in his tent, he had not even spoken to the others. However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaohua felt a sense of guilt. If he had stayed in the campsite last night, perhaps this tragedy could have been avoided. Even if he had to risk his identity as an Immortal Dao cultivator being exposed, he would have saved the lives of these hundreds of people …

However, right after that, Zhang Xiaohua sighed again. Even if I stayed behind, would I be able to save them?

Although he wanted to protect their safety, he didn't have the ability to protect the entire campsite with a formation. Even if he put a restriction on each of the tents, not to mention whether he had enough jade talismans, just the requirement of not letting them out of the tents would make him a laughingstock.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua immediately thought of Senior Fan who had just left the tent last night. He had followed him for a few days, but in the end, he did not even spare him a glance, let alone the other seniors who followed behind the three arhats!

"Sigh … I'll just do my best." Zhang Xiaohua shook his head slightly. The heavy feeling of a mountain was slightly relaxed.

Zhang Xiaohua's qinggong was superb. When he landed in front of the tent, the blood wolves and lightning tigers crouching in front of the tent did not notice him. Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense entered the tent. When he saw that the eight people were all safe and sound, he could not help but smile. Finally, the hard work he had put in every night to set up the formation had not been wasted. He had finally managed to save some disciples.

At this moment, a lightning tiger discovered Zhang Xiaohua. With a roar, not only did it alert the surrounding beasts, even the people in the tent whose limbs were already numb opened their eyes in fright. When they saw Zhang Xiaohua walking towards the entrance of the tent, their eyes flashed with joy. Ever since they had been attacked by the beast tide last night, the only person they had been waiting for had finally appeared.

However, when they saw a few Blood Wolves and Thunder Tigers running towards Zhang Xiaohua, their hearts immediately turned ice-cold …
