At the top of Sky Willow Mountain was a plaza filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. The Hundred Flower Feast was being held here. The various powers of the Thousand Islands Sea had chosen over a hundred beautiful girls to compete for the position of Courtesan Belle. The reason was none other than to establish a connection with the Xi Clan of the Eastern Sea.
The Xi Clan of the Eastern Sea was one of the oldest aristocratic clans of the human race. The eastern coastal area could be said to be the Xi Clan's domain. The reason why the Xi Clan held this event, aside from selecting ingredients for their perfume, was to establish contact with the local powers and display the prestige of the Xi Clan. Anyone who was not invited would be targeted by the Xi Clan.
As a physical trainer sent by the main clan, Xi Jinghui should have personally participated. However, he was not in the mood to do so. The value of a complete Vicious Beast's body was too great. Most importantly, it still retained its vitality. If he was lucky enough to refine a top-grade gene medicine, it would definitely improve his cultivation.
No matter how powerful the Vicious Beast was when it was alive, its vitality would gradually dissipate into the world after death. Once its vitality was exhausted, it could no longer be refined into gene medicine and could only be used as ingredients.
Tuoba Ye and Su Chengbo also had no intention of participating in the Hundred Flower Feast. Early in the morning, they brought Luo Kai to Sky Willow Mountain. Under the guidance of the girl named Zhi Hui, they went to investigate Yin Spirit Mountain Stream.
The so-called stream was actually a long and narrow mountain pass. It was filled with dense fog and nothing could be seen.
The sun was shining brightly today. However, there were huge vines growing around the mountain pass, completely blocking the sunlight. Waves of cold air blew up from the mountain pass, making one's heart feel cold.
"Miss Zhi Hui, I'm really sorry about yesterday. How about this? When we're done, I'll treat you to a meal as an apology." Tuoba Ye once again moved closer to the girl with an expression of deep regret.
Zhi Hui ignored him and said to the others, "There's a strange magnetic field in Yin Spirit Mountain Stream that will block people's perception. Everyone, please be careful when you go down."
"Okay, thank you Miss Zhi Hui. Let's go down."
There were slippery plants around the mountain pass, so it was not difficult to climb down. Tuoba Ye looked at Zhi Hui with hidden bitterness and jumped down without a care. Midway, he stuck his arm into the rock wall and climbed down like a monkey.
The three people at the mountain pass looked at each other and jumped down one after another.
Five or six minutes later, the air became more and more humid, and the light became dimmer and dimmer. The thick cold air seeped into one's bones.
Suddenly, Tuoba Ye's expression changed. He looked around and saw many black shadows climbing up the walls. He smelled a foul stench and saw the faces of the black shadows. They were all rotting animals with only their skin and bones left.
"Monsters are coming!"
Tuoba Ye reminded. He grabbed the rock wall with one hand and took out a strange-looking weapon from his back. It was a hexagonal long mace.
Luo Kai also saw these monsters. They weren't big, like cats or dogs, but their flesh and blood had rotted away, leaving only skin and bones. Their pale white claws were tightly clasped on the rock wall, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared at the four of them. Their throats let out sharp growls.
Luo Kai frowned. They were on the cliff, and they didn't know how deep it was. If they accidentally fell down, it would be troublesome. His heart beat faster, he stuck one hand into the rock wall and pulled out the Severing Blade from his back.
Xi Jinghui and Su Chengbo also took out their own weapons. Xi Jinghui was using a soft sword with a cyan luster, and Su Chengbo was holding a long sword with a dazzling white light. The weapons of physical masters were naturally not ordinary. They were energy weapons that were compatible with their attributes, just like the lightsabers in sci-fi movies.
Moreover, the clothes they were wearing were also different. Tuoba Ye's greasy leather jacket was shining with a black light, as if it was emitting a black fog.
Su Chengbo's thin scaled long robe was shining with a silver light. Even Xi Jinghui's ordinary cyan long robe was shining with a cyan light.
In comparison, Luo Kai's clothes were much more shabby. He looked at the three people below with some envy, and decided to find an opportunity to dress himself up.
More and more monsters surrounded them, and with a sharp cry, they attacked the four people. These monsters looked half dead, but their speed was very fast, and their bodies were also very agile. They directly jumped on the cliff, and their attacks were abnormally fierce.
The Severing Blade in Luo Kai's hand let out a long cry as it cut through the air. The snow-white blade quickly slashed around him, and the first few monsters were instantly cut in half, falling into the abyss below.
The three people below also waved their weapons, and the bodies of the monsters fell like raindrops. These monsters looked terrifying, and their fighting strength was not bad, but in front of physical masters, they were not enough. The only problem was that there were too many of them.
Waves of sharp cries came from the surroundings, and a large number of monsters were gathering here. Gradually, some humanoid monsters appeared, and they looked like evil spirits that crawled out of hell. Their flesh and blood had been completely corroded, and only the red light in their eye sockets was unusually dazzling.
Dense black shadows rushed towards the four people. Not only were there all kinds of rotten animals, but there were also some black plants that stretched out their branches and curled towards the four people. All kinds of mournful cries resounded through the mountain.
Ten minutes later, the attacks of the monsters did not slow down. Tuoba Ye cursed, "Motherf * cker, there are too many of these things! We can't kill them all!"
Su Chengbo said in a deep voice, "We can't go on like this. I'll temporarily repel these dark creatures, and we'll go down quickly."
After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and the white light emitted from his body became even more intense. This white light seemed to be the nemesis of the dark creatures. The dark creatures that rushed towards him let out mournful cries, and their entire bodies burned up, turning into a puff of green smoke that emitted a foul smell.
In this pitch-black mountain, Su Chengbo was like a small sun. Not only did the dark creatures that rushed towards him melt, but even the cold energy in the mountain had dissipated a lot.
Luo Kai was shocked. Was this the true power of a physical master?
The four people took this opportunity to quickly jump down. The air became thin, and the cold energy that seemed to be able to seep into people's bones became denser. Gradually, their skin became itchy, as if it was covered in sulfuric acid, and there were signs of it melting.
The three physical masters' bodies lit up to resist the cold energy. Tuoba Ye's body was golden, Xi Jinghui's was green, and Su Chengbo's was white.
Su Chengbo looked up at Luo Kai and asked, "Xiao Kai, can you withstand it?"
Luo Kai resisted the urge to scratch, and replied, "Yes."
The pain was nothing to him. He could not control the energy in his body as a shield like a physical master, so he could only endure it.
Su Chengbo saw him in pain, and asked in confusion, "Xiao Kai, as far as I know, an elementalist can use elemental essence as a shield. Why don't you use it?"
Luo Kai said with a wry smile, "Last time, in order to escape the pursuit of that complete Vicious Beast, I used up all my Water Essence."
Tuoba Ye heard their conversation, and said loudly, "That won't do. The further down we go, the stronger the corrosive power of the dark energy. It's hard to withstand it with your body alone."
Su Chengbo frowned, and took off his scaled robe and tossed it up, "Put on my orange mech, it can help you."
Luo Kai hurriedly reached out to take it. This fine-scaled robe was very warm to the touch and seemed to be able to repel the penetration of dark energy. He thought of something and hurriedly said, "No need, I have something that should be able to use it."
He returned the orange mech to Su Chengbo, and took out the Broodmother's cocoon from his backpack. He spread it out and put it on himself. He immediately felt the cold energy dissipating. The cocoon had the ability to deflect space around it. Both energy and physical attacks could not be separated from space.
