"What kind of beast was it?"
Qin Shi asked curiously. Even though this was a crack in the Beast World, it was extremely rare to see a beast in the top 200 of the Ancient Ferocious Beast List.
"What kind of beast?"
Xiao Yu thought for a while and shook her head with some difficulty. "I'm not sure about the specifics. I've only seen it on the Ancient Ferocious Beast List. It was a giant elephant with tusks that were ten meters long."
"A giant elephant with tusks that were ten meters long?
The top 200 of the Ancient Ferocious Beast List? "
Qin Shi rummaged through his memories and frowned. He asked, "Did that mammoth have very long hair? Furthermore, at the top of its skull, there was a cross mark that looked like a knife scar?"
Xiao Yu nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes, that's it. But was that a scar?
I thought it was Blade Scar. "
"Indeed!"
Qin Shi nodded secretly. According to Xiao Yu, he could only think of the Saber Gleam Mammoth Elephant, which was ranked 103rd on the Ancient Ferocious Beast List.
He could not help but feel excited. The Saber Gleam Mammoth was not an ordinary beast. From its ranking, it could be seen that it was infinitely close to the Divine List. In the second segment of the battle of trapped beasts, it was undoubtedly a very good choice.
At that thought, Qin Shi hesitated and asked, "Xiao Yu, you said that the mammoth suddenly turned around and left?
Do you know why? "
Xiao Yu shook her head in a daze. "I don't know. The situation was very dangerous at that time, and I did not have time to think. That giant elephant had the power of a phenomenal Domain Realm. The three Elders and I were not its match even when we joined forces. If it had not left suddenly and inexplicably, we would have been in its stomach."
Xiao Yu still had some lingering fear when she said that.
The more this was the case, the more confused Qin Shi was. There was no reason for this. Talisman Fiend Masters were different from ordinary cultivators to ferocious beasts. Although ferocious beasts could also devour human dantian to cultivate like humans, it was very difficult to nourish one's body after reaching the Domain Realm. It was the same for humans. In the past, Qin Shi had used Beast Cores to make breakthroughs many times. However, ever since he reached the Heaven Realm, the effects were obviously much weaker.
However, Talisman Magicians were different. Talisman Magicians' Soul Force was extremely useful to Ominous Beasts. It could strengthen their Divine Sense, and there was even a possibility of mutation. Therefore, Ominous Beasts had a special preference for Talisman Magicians. According to Xiao Yu, that mammoth should have been able to easily eat Xiao Yu and the others, so why did it suddenly give up on such a delicacy?
"Oh, that's right. I remember that when the mammoth was about to swallow us, the cross-shaped scar on its forehead suddenly emitted a ray of starlight. Then, it suddenly left," said the middle-aged man who was ranked second beside Xiao Yu.
Hearing that, Qin Shi's black eyes narrowed. He seemed to have thought of something and asked, "You're saying that the cross-shaped scar on its forehead flashed?"
"Yes, I definitely didn't see it wrong," said Second Brother with certainty.
"As expected, there's something fishy about it!" Qin Shi thought to himself and asked excitedly, "That scar flickered a few times!"
"A few times?
Let me think! "Second Brother blinked and said with uncertainty," I think it was three times? "
"Three times?"
Qin Shi frowned fiercely. The cross-shaped scar was a unique method of communication between the Scarred Mammoth Clan. Qin Shi had seen this in the ancient text before, and three times represented danger.
"From the looks of it, there's more than one Scarred Mammoth in the crevice of the Beast World?"
Qin Shi thought excitedly in his heart. He immediately asked Xiao Yu impatiently, "Xiao Yu, do you still remember which direction the mammoth left in?"
Xiao Yu rolled her big eyes and pointed to the southeast of the basin, "It's that direction."
"South-east?"
Qin Shi kept it in mind and immediately took a deep breath. Now that the second round of the competition was more than half over, he thought it was time to put in some effort. After all, the Talisman Magic Competition was related to the winner of the Snowshatter Rhododendron. He had to win, and delaying like this was not a solution. He turned to Huo Dao and said, "Senior, five elders from the Wind Region have just died. Based on the program's character, I'm afraid it won't let it go so easily. I think we should split up for a period of time so that Xiao Yu and the rest can take care of each other."
Huo Dao naturally understood that Qin Shi wanted to act on his own. These days, he also realized that he was a burden most of the time when he was by Qin Shi's side. He nodded helplessly, "Alright, then be careful. I'll leave Lingsha's safety to you."
"Senior, don't worry. Lingsha is my friend. Back then, I promised her that I would help her find the Snowshatter Rhododendron. After so many years, it's time for us to fulfill our promise." Qin Shi patted his chest and guaranteed.
Only then did Huo Dao nod his head in relief. Wang Peng, who was beside Huo Dao, was also a sensible person. Before Qin Shi could speak, he smiled and said, "Brother Qin, I'll also stay behind. Although my soul cultivation is not as good as Cheng Xu's, I believe that I can still fight against him in terms of battle strength. Perhaps I can even be of help to Senior Huo Dao."
"That's fine too. I'll have to trouble you then."
Qin Shi smiled and nodded. His opinion of Wang Peng rose once again. Immediately, he did not say any unnecessary words as he turned around and looked in the southeast direction. His foot stomped and a purple-colored lightning lingered around his body. A moment later, he transformed into afterimages that permeated the sky and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Elder Huo Dao's eyes were filled with anticipation as he watched Qin Shi leave.
"Little fellow, Lingsha's life and death are all in your hands!
Don't disappoint me. "
After separating from Huo Dao and the rest, it was much more convenient for Qin Shi to move alone. His speed was extremely fast. In a breath's time, he had traversed nearly a hundred thousand meters.
Within this hundred thousand meters, his sea of consciousness was completely unleashed, constantly detecting the life around him.
Suddenly, he furrowed his eyebrows. A dozen extremely powerful Spiritual Forces appeared in his sea of consciousness, causing him to stop and look down.
Among these dozen figures were the most outstanding figures in this year's Talisman Demon Competition. Even Taoist Ghost Shadow was present. In front of these dozen people was a huge cave. Cold wind blew wildly in the cave, making it extremely ear-piercing.
However, this was not the main point. The main point was that in front of the cave, there was an extremely weak young mammoth covered in wounds. It was miserably lying in a pool of its own blood.
Seeing this, Qin Shi's face darkened. "No wonder the mammoth received the signal of danger."
"Roar!"
All of a sudden, a furious roar rang out from the forest beside the cave. A gigantic mammoth came roaring out, its face filled with rage. Judging from where it had appeared, Qin Shi guessed that it should be the mammoth that had attacked Little Yu and the others earlier.
When it saw the young mammoth, its eyes were suffused with a red light, and it took a step forward ferociously, "You bunch of damned humans, how dare you barge into the crack of the holy land, I want you all to die a horrible death!"
Rumble!
Just the roar alone was enough to shake the mountains. The might of the phenomenal Domain Realm instantly spread out for hundreds of miles.
Seeing that huge mammoth, many of the contestants clearly showed some cowardice and retreated a few steps. Of course, there were also some brave people who were relatively strong. For example, an old man from the Wind Domain. He was very thin, but he took a step forward with his walking stick. The walking stick lightly tapped the ground, and an invisible wave of air rose up. The waves caused by the mammoth also dissipated instantly.
Seeing that old man, Qin Shi was slightly stunned. "Late-stage Domain Realm?"
He could tell at a glance that the old man's cultivation level was even higher than Su Yi's.
"There's actually such an expert in the Wind Region?" Qin Shi was rather surprised.
The old man stepped forward and smiled faintly. "Haha, you came at the right time. I was just worrying about how to distribute this baby mammoth. In that case, you're mine."
After saying that, the old man did not forget to look around arrogantly. Among them, only Taoist Ghost Shadow was in a deadlock for a moment. He said, "Everyone, do you have any objections?"
It could be seen that the old man's prestige in the Eight Regions was very high. When he appeared, most of the participants bowed their heads and nodded. However, the old man did not move after receiving their affirmation. Instead, he only heaved a sigh of relief when Taoist Ghost Shadow shrugged nonchalantly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
After saying that, he raised his walking stick and struck the huge mammoth with force.
Bang!
A beam of light pierced through the huge mammoth's forearm.
"Roar!" The mammoth howled and pounced at the old man angrily. "I'm going to tear you into pieces!"
"Reckless beast!"
That old man shook his head. After that, a strange sound came from his walking stick. All of a sudden, a myriad of changes occurred. The walking stick in his hand transformed into a thousand beams of starlight that landed around the mammoth.
Rumble!
The starlight rays immediately turned into a huge array, and the mammoth happened to be in the middle of the six starlight rays. In an instant, chains shot out from the six starlight horns and pierced through several vital parts of the mammoth.
However, the amazing thing was that the chains had clearly pierced through the mammoth's body, but there was not a single trace of blood at the wound.
It was as if it had pierced through the soul.
"Six-edge Soul-locking Array?"
Qin Shi was slightly surprised. He had seen this array in the General Manual of Talismans and Demons. It was a kind of beast-trapping array that was similar to the Six-edge Soul-locking Array. However, the latter was relatively easy-going, while the former was slightly more ferocious. If it was used improperly, even the soul of the user would suffer a backlash. Hence, it had been banned many years ago.
"I didn't expect this old man to be able to master such a strange array." Qin Shi thought to himself.
Seeing the mammoth being subdued by the old man, the other participants were extremely shocked and envious. Only Taoist Ghost Shadow smiled faintly.
"This saber light mammoth, this old man will accept it first!"
The old man smiled proudly. Immediately after, he took out his palm and released the beast-trapping cage into the sky. A strong suction force suddenly sucked the mammoth into it.
