Twins!
In the past, Qin Yu had seen it in an ancient book in the Tianqi Sect's library.
The ancient records described it this way: "Originally one life, two bodies were born. Their hearts were connected, and they were born together. This is called a twin, and it can be said that they have obtained the sole love of the heavens."
There weren't many descriptions of the twins, but the last sentence, "the only love of the heavens", was meaningful.
Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Qin Yu said indifferently, "Time is of the essence. Let's go in first and talk as we walk. I have some doubts, and I need the two of you to dispel them for me."
Immediately, the four of them slowly entered the depths of the forbidden area.
Along the way, Qin Yu asked all the questions in his heart. Yang Dao told him everything he knew without holding back, dispelling Qin Yu's doubts.
According to Yang Dao, they had indeed escaped the beast tide here. The two of them had discovered that all the beasts had emerged from the northern forbidden grounds, which was why they had come here to investigate.
The deeper they went, the more holes there were in the ground. Huge cracks were spread all over the ground like trenches. Dense flames were emitting from the trenches. As far as the eye could see, the space was steaming like a sea of fire. More and more destruction dao patterns appeared in the sky. The high temperature that permeated the air was gradually unbearable for the four of them.
In the end, Qin Yu summoned the Swamp Flame to cover his entire body. Chi Xiao also summoned his Heavenly Strange Flame. As for Yang Tian, his entire body bloomed with an azure light, like a sharp azure sword. As for Yang Dao, his entire body bloomed with a strange black light. The four of them slowly entered.
On the third day.
Buzz!
The space suddenly buzzed, and the earth shook as if there were thousands of soldiers and horses galloping.
The four of them suddenly stopped and looked around in bewilderment. Finally, they looked in the direction of the periphery. Each of them had a bewildered expression.
"Not good!"
Chi Xiao suddenly exclaimed in a low voice. His Divine Sense had sensed a group of ferocious beasts charging towards them from several dozen kilometers away. To Chi Xiao's horror, these ferocious beasts seemed to be chasing after a group of people, including Chu Xiong and the others.
"Fifteen peak Class 4 ferocious beasts. What did they do?" Yang Dao looked at the periphery with a grave expression.
In the depths of the forbidden area, even if fifteen peak Class 4 ferocious beasts joined forces, it would still be a bitter battle. Moreover, once they fought, the shockwaves would definitely attract the ferocious beasts in the depths of the forbidden area. At that time … they would definitely be in a perilous situation.
"They're running towards us.
Could it be that they know that the two of you are here?
Are they trying to shift the blame onto you? "Yang Tian turned his head and looked at Qin Yu and Chi Xiao.
Qin Yu frowned slightly. After stepping into the second stage of Heaven Tempering, his divine sense could cover a radius of eighty miles. He had already sensed Chu Xiong and the others. However, other than Chu Xiong and the others, there were three disciples that he had never seen before.
What made Qin Yu feel incredulous was that the fifteen ferocious beasts were chasing them in a semicircle. They seemed to be deliberately forcing Chu Xiong and the others into the depths of the forbidden area. Among these ferocious beasts, there was a fire-type ferocious beast. Its speed was comparable to a Class 5 existence. If it wanted to chase after Chu Xiong and the others, it could have surrounded them instead of chasing after them.
"The ferocious beasts seem to be deliberately chasing after us. What's going on?"
Qin Yu was shocked. The ones in control of the direction were not Chu Xiong and the others, but the ferocious beasts behind them. To put it bluntly, Chu Xiong and the others were the boat, and the ferocious beasts chasing after them were the oars!
"Let's go. Don't attract trouble!" Yang Tian said softly. In such a situation, how could he care about the sect's friendship?
Survival was the most important thing. After entering the depths of the forbidden area, there were many things that were beyond their control. They would hide if they could.
"It's useless!
With their speed, they will catch up to us soon. Once we go deeper, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous. Why don't we take the initiative to kill all the ferocious beasts here?
Moreover … those ferocious beasts should have noticed us by now. "Qin Yu said softly. Once these ferocious beasts chased them deeper, it would only be more troublesome.
Of course, Qin Yu had another selfish motive, and that was Chu Yuechan. No matter what, Qin Yu owed Chu Yuechan a favor. He would not sit and watch as Chu Yuechan fell into danger.
"That makes sense. Let's go!"
Yang Dao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. He had also noticed the abnormality of these ferocious beasts. Even if they were to leave now, it would be too late.
Immediately, the group of four quickly flew towards the periphery.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Junior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Chi, save us!" Tang Yiming's cry for help resounded throughout the sky even before they met.
When they met up with Chu Xiong and the others, Chi Xiao did not hesitate and growled, "Attack!
Let's end this quickly! "
Knowing that this place was not suitable for a prolonged battle, the disciples unleashed their full strength without holding back.
Yang Dao's body emitted a green glow like a peerless divine weapon as he charged towards the ferocious beasts in the sky. Chi Xiao fought two ferocious beasts alone. Yang Dao's hands emitted a black glow as they transformed into giant black palms that slapped towards one of the ferocious beasts. Qin Yu held his battle spear and shot towards one of the ferocious beasts.
With Qin Yu and the others joining in, Chu Xiong and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Chu Xiong shouted, "Set up the formation!"
In less than an hour.
More than half of the ferocious beasts were killed by the group.
Two hours later.
The battle was completely over. Chi Xiao lived up to his reputation as the number one on the Prodigy Roll. He was extremely brave and killed four ferocious beasts alone. Yang Tian and Yang Dao each killed three, Qin Yu killed one, and the other four were killed by Chu Xiong and the others.
"Many thanks!"
After the battle, Chu Xiong thanked Qin Yu and the others. When he saw Yang Tian and Yang Dao, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Yang Tian, Yang Dao?"
On the Prodigy Roll, everyone knew that Yang Tian and Yang Dao were brothers. Therefore, they recognized the two at a glance.
Hearing Chu Xiong's words, everyone looked at Yang Tian and Yang Dao in surprise.
Yang Tian's expression was cold and he didn't answer. Yang Dao calmly said, "Why are these ferocious beasts chasing you?"
"We don't know either. These ferocious beasts suddenly appeared." Tang Yiming quickly walked to Yang Dao's side and replied. His tone was filled with the intention of befriending them.
Yang Dao ignored Tang Yiming and glanced at Qin Yu, who was busy collecting the blood of the ferocious beasts. He then looked at Chu Xiong and Chu Yuechan with a questioning gaze.
Tang Yiming's expression was awkward. He couldn't help but squint his eyes as a trace of anger flashed across his eyes.
"We were moving slowly earlier. These ferocious beasts suddenly surrounded us and chased after us. We had no choice but to go deeper."
Chu Xiong said with a serious expression. Due to the urgency earlier, he didn't have time to think. Now that he heard Yang Dao's words, he also noticed the abnormality.
"Roar!"
Just as everyone was deep in thought, a thunderous roar reverberated through the sky. The deep voice seemed to contain a great amount of power, causing everyone's ears to ring.
Qin Yu, who was collecting the blood of the ferocious beasts, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the depths of the forbidden area. He saw a wave of heat coming towards them like a tidal wave.
"Peak of the Celestial Realm. A peak Class 5 ferocious beast!"
Qin Yu was slightly shocked. Based on the roar alone, he could tell that it was from a peak Class 5 ferocious beast!
"Let's go!"
Qin Yu couldn't care less about collecting the blood. He roared in a low voice and rushed towards the periphery. The strange behavior of the fifteen ferocious beasts had already given Qin Yu a bad premonition, and the roar made Qin Yu even more frightened.
Qin Yu, who hadn't flown too far, suddenly came to a stop. His face was aghast as he looked around. As for Chu Xiong, Tang Yiming, and Chu Yuechan, they were all panic-stricken.
Even Chi Xiao, Yang Tian, and Yang Dao's expressions changed drastically!
"What's going on?
What did you do?
I told you not to interfere. "Yang Tian was trembling all over as he questioned angrily.
Everyone was stunned. Their divine senses had sensed dozens of ferocious beasts coming from all directions. These ferocious beasts were all Class 5 ferocious beasts!
Dozens of Class 5 ferocious beasts. Even if Qin Yu and the others were all in the Celestial Realm, it would be difficult for them to escape death!
The sudden disaster caused everyone's heart to sink to the bottom of the valley, and despair grew in their hearts.
"How could this be?" Tang Yiming's face was full of fear and panic.
Everyone was in a mess at this moment, even Chi Xiao was no exception. As the number one on the Tianjiao List, although Chi Xiao was confident, he was powerless in the face of dozens of Class 5 ferocious beasts. He was also in despair.
"Did you kill any ferocious beasts that you shouldn't have killed?" Qin Yu slowly landed in front of Chu Xiong and asked calmly in a low voice.
The turn of events was completely beyond Qin Yu's imagination. There were nearly 30 Class 5 ferocious beasts in all directions. Even a Nascent Soul Realm expert would have a slim chance of survival, let alone a group of disciples in the Heaven Tempering Realm.
In the face of Class 4 ferocious beasts, they could still fight with their prideful strength, but in the face of Class 5 ferocious beasts, they could only escape.
Hearing Qin Yu's words, Chu Xiong couldn't care less about the previous estrangement. He carefully recalled and shook his head. "We didn't encounter many ferocious beasts along the way. It's impossible for us to kill any that we shouldn't have!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Just when everyone was in despair, the earth suddenly shook as if a peerless ferocious beast was approaching.
At the same time, everyone looked in the direction of the source of the tremors. They saw a fiery red giant that was about 30 meters tall walking slowly with its body hunched. The earth shook violently with its footsteps.
Qin Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. He stared at the fiery red giant and said in disbelief, "Battle Ape!"
The approaching figure was not a human, but a gigantic ape that was about 30 meters tall. Its body was covered in flames and its muscles were like dragons.
When his gaze swept over the head of the Battle Ape, Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat.
He saw a person sitting cross-legged on the head of the terrifying Battle Ape!
