The Transporting Formation shone brightly. Without any hesitation, Mo Tiange slapped a defensive talisman on her body.
This time, it was different from Miwu Valley. No matter what, Miwu Valley had been dealt with by the seniors of the three sects. Although there were still demonic beasts, there were only a few left. Moreover, there were some restrictions set up in the valley. As long as the disciples had the medallions, they wouldn't die.
But in this forest, it was hard to say.
If they really teleported to the front of the demonic beasts and got bitten, it would be fatal. Moreover, there was a turbulent undercurrent between the disciples of the three sects. In addition, there were some people who would forget what was right for the sake of profit. They might really lose their lives.
Because she'd long anticipated that this trip would definitely be dangerous, she deliberately used some things to exchange with Qin Xi for some talismans.
A while ago, Qin Xi had been practicing drawing talismans. Although he lost a lot of his talismans, he also made quite a few finished ones. Since he didn't like them, he said he had a lot left, so the other three people exchanged a lot of talismans with him.
Mo Tiange didn't have many spirit stones left, so she used some materials to exchange with him. He didn't really care because he dabbled in both pill-concocting and tool-refining, so he accepted everything she offered.
Mo Tiange was somewhat worried about preparing for the trial this time.
She wasn't a wealthy cultivator, and all the spirit stones she needed for cultivation were obtained through rewards or transactions. Unfortunately, she didn't have a good aptitude, so the amount of spirit stones she needed to cultivate was quite a lot. It turned out that Second Uncle had sold his own belongings to prepare talismans and pills for her during the Minor Competition of the Three Sects. She really didn't have any other belongings.
There were only about a hundred or so spirit stones left, which were reserved for laying formations. There were also some spiritual plants, spiritual objects, and other materials, but most of them had already been exchanged for spirit stones, so the remaining ones couldn't be sold for much money. There were also too few talismans, so they couldn't be exchanged for spirit stones. In addition, there were a bunch of unknown things. Some of them were recognized by Qin Xi, so he exchanged them for talismans. As for the rest, he didn't know what they were.
She remembered that she had obtained a bead from the man of the An Clan. It was about the size of a child's fist. She could feel the surging Spiritual Qi in it, but no one could recognize what it was.
In this way, only the spiritual weapons were still valuable. Most of them were obtained from the man from the An Clan three years ago, so she didn't dare to sell them.
However, this wasn't something she needed to worry about right now. At the very least, she had made sufficient preparations for this test.
Once she was transported into the forest, Mo Tiange immediately looked around.
Fortunately, he didn't encounter any demonic beasts.
She heaved a sigh of relief and took a step forward. The next moment, she missed her footing and fell straight down. She hurriedly used the Light Body Technique, found a foothold, and leaped up.
This was a steep slope. Because there were too many vines, it looked like solid ground in front, but it was actually just vines attached to it.
She slapped her forehead. It was really a false alarm. She had observed the surroundings but had forgotten to look under her feet. It seemed that she would have to pay more attention in the future.
He was surrounded by dense trees and vines that crawled everywhere. Beneath his feet was a thick layer of dried leaves. It was very difficult to find a path.
From inside her robe, Mo Tiange took out a Jade Slip engraved with a map of this place. However, this map was too rough, and there was no reference nearby, so she simply couldn't find it.
She could only give up. She carefully restrained her breath, took out her Green-Wood Sword, and walked through the forest.
There was an advantage to being here, and that was that she cultivated a wood-attributed cultivation technique. In this forest, the wood qi was dense, and the power of her cultivation technique would be even greater.
Suddenly, she felt a spiritual aura movement behind her. Mo Tiange, who had been observing her surroundings attentively, immediately moved. She blocked with her Green-Wood Sword and turned around to see her opponent — it was actually a brightly colored flat-headed demonic snake!
In an instant, her hair stood on end. Even though she considered herself bold, she really wanted to vomit when facing such a snake.
But now wasn't the time to vomit. This demonic snake's breath wasn't weak. If she didn't concentrate and died under its mouth, it would be even more disgusting.
This snake was more than ten feet long, as thick as the mouth of a bowl, with a flat head and a thin tongue. Its cold and gloomy eyes were directly staring at her. Judging from the breath it emitted, it was a first rank demonic beast.
In an instant, the snake jumped up and spat black venom towards her.
At this time, the defensive talisman on her body took effect. The venom fell off before it could touch her body.
After this attack, the defensive barrier on her body shook and was about to break. Mo Tiange didn't dare to be careless, so she took out another defensive talisman and slapped it on her body. Then she took out her Green-Wood Sword and attacked the snake's weak point.
This demonic snake was very agile. It moved as fast as lightning. As it stretched and shrank, it tangled with Green-Wood Sword.
Mo Tiange carefully controlled Green-Wood Sword while taking out a handful of seeds from her Qiankun Bag. Taking advantage of the fact that the snake was tangled with Green-Wood Sword, she threw them out.
The seeds fell on the snake's body. One by one, they grew into Fire Thorns, firmly entangling the demonic snake.
She calmed down a little, but in the next second, she was so surprised that she almost shouted.
The demonic snake stretched and shrank its body. The Fire Thorns entangling its body couldn't pierce its skin at all. Instead, it swung its tail and sent the thorns flying.
Mo Tiange's expression turned grave. The scales on this snake's skin were unexpectedly so hard that the thorns of the Fire Thorns couldn't pierce through.
The demonic snake dodged Green-Wood Sword and suddenly turned its head towards her. The tip of its tongue spat out wasn't venom, but fog.
Mo Tiange felt dizzy. She was shocked. This must be poisonous fog!
She didn't dare to be careless. While holding her breath, she took out a medicinal pill from her Qiankun Bag and threw it into her mouth.
As the medicinal power of the Refreshing Pill spread, her mind immediately became clear. She didn't dare to continue entangling with the snake, so she took out a talisman and threw it at the snake's body.
A pillar of water soared into the sky and poured on the snake's body. Soon after, it froze into ice, and the demonic snake's body immediately slowed down. Green-Wood Sword stabbed down. With a "pu" sound, the sword finally pierced through its scales and firmly nailed it seven inches from its head.
The demonic snake twisted a few times, but it couldn't break free from the ice or the Green-Wood Sword. In the end, it stopped breathing and stopped moving.
Mo Tiange heaved a sigh of relief. She retrieved her Green-Wood Sword and carefully wiped it clean.
She regretfully looked at the ice on the demonic snake's body. This Freezing Talisman wasn't cheap.
This forest was really dangerous everywhere. It was only a snake, but it actually put her in such a dangerous situation and even made her use an Freezing Talisman.
Facing the snake's corpse on the ground, Mo Tiange was in a dilemma.
During this trial, the elders of the school clearly told her to bring back the demonic beast's corpse. However, this snake looked really disgusting, so she couldn't do anything about it.
After hesitating for a while, she took out a leather pouch from her Qiankun Bag. With a flick of her Green-Wood Sword, she picked up the snake's corpse, fastened the mouth of the pouch, and threw it into her Qiankun Bag.
Once she finished doing all this, she once again restrained her breath, carefully identified her direction and went out of this forest.
In the dense forest, a clear brook flowed through an open space in the forest, meandering downwards.
Under the nourishment of this brook, the grassland on both sides was lush and the wildflowers were brilliant. It was indeed a beautiful scene in the wilderness.
However, in this beautiful scene, there were two people who ruined it.
One of them was wearing purple robes, and the other was wearing yellow robes. Their cuffs were embroidered with the same symbol.
The two of them fiercely glared at each other.
The purple-robed youth snorted and said angrily, "Jindao School's disciple, you actually dared to mount a sneak attack on me?!"
The yellow-robed middle-aged cultivator's expression didn't change. He said faintly, "Yellow-Haired brat, so what if I mount a sneak attack on you?"
Angered by his unmoved attitude, the youth's face twisted. "You — I'm a disciple of Zixia Sect's main branch. Aren't you afraid of being punished by your school?"
The middle-aged cultivator smiled faintly. "If I did everything cleanly, who would be able to trace it back to me?"
"You …" The youth was seething with anger. Presumably, he didn't have enough experience and hadn't experienced any setbacks in his cultivation, so he was easily provoked.
He immediately manipulated the spirit tool in his hand and rushed towards the middle-aged cultivator.
The middle-aged cultivator cautiously took a step back. While manipulating the spirit tool, he secretly took out a talisman.
Both of them were in the tenth layer. For a moment, they were evenly matched as they fought back and forth.
Right at this moment, another person came out of the forest. This time, he was wearing black robes.
When he saw the two people fighting, his expression changed. After a long time, he finally took out an object from his Qiankun Bag and threw it towards one of them.
Following the sound of the brook, several spiritual aura fluctuations attracted her attention. She carefully hid her tracks and walked towards the place where the fight was taking place.
On the meadow beside the brook, two disciples from Zixia Sect and Jindao School were fighting. In the corner of the forest, a Yunwu Sect disciple with a ferocious expression threw the spirit tool in his hand.
"Ah —" With a blood-curdling scream, that Zixia Sect disciple lay in a pool of blood, no longer breathing.
The disciples of Jindao School and Yunwu Sect both heaved sighs of relief. The two of them didn't fight or talk. They just divided the Zixia Sect disciple's belongings, burned his corpse with a fire, and then went their separate ways.
Mo Tiange hid herself in the forest, drenched in cold sweat.
What Xu Jingzhi was worried about finally happened. The disciples of Jindao School and Yunwu Sect, who harbored hatred in their hearts, killed the lone Zixia Sect disciple to vent their hatred.
She could imagine what would happen next.
Those who killed Zixia Sect disciples couldn't help but attack again. If they attacked too many times, Zixia Sect disciples would discover that their fellow disciples were killed. In their anger, they would retaliate against the two groups.
The disciples of the three groups would then fight each other, resulting in countless casualties.
This trial was indeed full of dangers. Not only did she have to guard against the demonic beasts in the forest, but she also had to worry about other cultivators.
After spending a long time to calm down, Mo Tiange once again set foot on the road.
Even if she was worried, it was useless. She could only carefully avoid them because the formation at the exit would only open after one day, and she was determined to obtain the Foundation-Building Pill!
