The ones fighting were actually two sixth-grade spirit beasts.
One of them was a single-horned rhinoceros. It was extremely tall and mighty. Its huge body was already floating in mid-air, and its horn was emitting halos of attacks.
Opposite it was a petite spirit beast.
This was a fox spirit beast. It was only slightly more than a meter long, had three tails, and revealed two sharp fangs. It stared at the single-horned rhinoceros and dodged nimbly. From time to time, it would use its speed to pounce on the rhinoceros and bite it.
Not far away from them was an unusual spirit herb.
This spirit herb had four stems, and there was only one leaf on each stem. Each leaf was emitting waves of flawless light.
This was an elemental sixth-grade intermediate four-leaf herb.
Each four-leaf herb needed 1,000 years to grow a leaf, and a total of 4,000 years to grow four leaves. However, for it to truly mature, it had to grow for another 2,000 years before it would become a true sixth-grade spirit herb.
The four-leaf herb in front of them had clearly just matured, so it attracted two high-grade spirit beasts nearby to fight over it.
Ling Xiao did not expect to see such a high-grade spirit herb because he had stopped for a while. His depressed mood from the past two days was swept away.
However, when Ling Xiao and the Savage Leopard appeared, the two spirit beasts stopped fighting at the same time and glared at the outsiders with ferocious gazes. It was obvious that as long as Ling Xiao and the others attacked, they would immediately tear them into pieces.
A sixth-grade spirit herb was comparable to a Heavenly Venerable. Its strength was rather terrifying.
However, Ling Xiao had the blue water dragon to protect him, so he was not afraid.
He did not have time to waste with these two powerful spirit beasts, so he immediately summoned the blue water dragon.
The dragon's might of the blue water dragon frightened the single-horned rhinoceros and the three-tailed fox ferret into fleeing instantly.
Ling Xiao effortlessly collected the four-leaf herb.
This was an elemental spirit herb that was useful to any martial artist. It was also an important spirit herb for refining high-grade elixirs. Naturally, Ling Xiao would not let it go.
After unintentionally collecting the high-grade spirit herb, Ling Xiao's mind was stirred again.
He suddenly did not want to hurry on with his journey.
He wanted to harvest a bit in this Barbarian Region.
In any case, he was about to leave the Southern Region. If he didn't take something as a souvenir, he would be letting himself down.
Thus, Ling Xiao rode the Blue Flood Dragon and the Savage Leopard and began to sweep the area.
After three days, Ling Xiao had obtained quite a lot of Spiritual Grasses, among which there was no lack of Spiritual Grasses of Fifth and Sixth Level and above.
This made Ling Xiao almost burst with joy.
The Savage Leopard had some gains too. He actually found two stalks of Tier 5 dark-attribute spirit grass.
One had to know that dark-attributed spiritual grasses were not easy to find, yet they could be found in the Barren Desolate Region. It was clear that this place was rich in resources.
While looking for spiritual herbs, Ling Xiao did not forget to hunt high-rank spirit beasts.
It was not easy to refine pills with spirit herbs but no beast cores. Moreover, to use the transmission array, one would need to consume high-tier beast cores.
The Golden Wolf King was also released by Ling Xiao to recover its ferocious nature.
Its third eye had already been completely activated. Its Tenbin Divine Ability "Evil Eye" allowed it to have the terrifying ability to kill opponents of a higher rank.
Living in the forest always made Ling Xiao feel carefree. Sometimes he wondered if he should find a place like this to live in seclusion.
In any case, it was not bad to look for Spiritual Grasses, kill spirit beasts, eat beast meat, and refine pills to pass the time.
However, when he thought that there were no beauties in this kind of place, he felt a lot more bored.
He sighed, "In life, it is not important to have no power or influence. The important thing is to have a woman by your side to warm your bed!"
It must be said that Ling Xiao was not happy without women.
After walking in the forest for five days, Ling Xiao and the Savage Leopard finally encountered a terrifying Tier 7 spirit beast.
It was a tiger king that could already speak the human language.
Fortunately, before Ling Xiao and the Savage Leopard stepped into its territory, they were detected by the Blue Flood Dragon.
Then, a hoarse voice sounded, "Damned human, come half a step closer and die!"
As the voice fell, Ling Xiao and the Savage Leopard fled as fast as they could.
They never thought that they would encounter such a terrifying fellow. Even the Blue Flood Dragon was not the Tiger King's opponent.
After rushing for ten days, Ling Xiao and the Savage Leopard found that they could no longer distinguish the direction, so they could only choose a new direction.
This time, they finally chose the right direction. After flying for a few days, they finally saw a figure.
Ling Xiao put away the Blue Flood Dragon to avoid scaring people.
When he and the Savage Leopard were about to land, they heard a burst of fighting and killing sounds.
Ling Xiao and the Savage Leopard did not immediately show themselves. Instead, they hid on a huge tree to understand the situation first. After all, they did not want to bother with the private fights of some ordinary martial artists.
"Hurry up and catch up, don't let that girl get away, or else I'll chop you trash!" An extremely disgusted voice first entered their ears.
Looking down, he saw a middle-aged high-level Mystic cultivator leading a dozen Mystic cultivators to Mystic Knight level martial artists chasing after someone.
Looking further ahead, they saw a run-down youth and a plainly dressed young girl running madly. Behind them was an old high level Mystic practitioner, covering for them.
"Young Master, Young Miss, hurry and run. This old servant will stall them first!" The old man said to the youth and the young girl. Holding the second tier sword in his hand, he charged towards the dozen or so people.
"Grandpa Sun, don't go, you're not their match!" The youth turned his head and roared, his expression filled with incomparable indignation.
Apart from his clothes being a bit messy, this youth was also extremely handsome. He had delicate features and was full of heroic spirit. Unfortunately, he was just an ordinary person without the strength to carry a chicken.
The young girl beside him shrunk back, only revealing that pure and pleasant face. That timid expression was indescribably lovely and moving.
This young girl was actually much stronger than the youth. She was actually a middle level Mystic practitioner.
This man and woman were both fifteen or sixteen years old. They were in the prime of their youth, but now they were facing the danger of being chased.
The old man killed his way into the crowd, and he quickly annihilated two Profounder Realm experts.
The middle-aged man shouted, "Get out of my way, I'll kill this old fellow!"
The middle-aged man looked like a tyrant with a single glance. He held a large blade in his hand and emitted an elemental attack as he slashed towards the old man.
The old man was also impressive. He completely sealed off the middle-aged man's blade attack and even forced the middle-aged man into a dangerous situation.
"I didn't expect this old fellow to be so tough!" The middle-aged man exclaimed in his heart. Suddenly, he had a plan.
"Quickly go and capture those two for me!" The middle-aged man shouted to his subordinates.
The old man was worried about the youth and the young girl's safety. He was distracted for a moment and was slashed by the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man took the opportunity to strengthen his attacks and quickly slashed the old man until he was covered in cuts and bruises.
The youth turned his head and saw this scene. His eyes burned with rage as he shouted, "Grandpa Sun!"
The young girl also cried out sorrowfully, "Grandpa Sun!"
Unfortunately, the old man could only turn around and shout at them, "Run!"
As soon as he finished shouting, the head was chopped off with a single slash.
"Haha, you old fellow is finally dead. You actually killed a few of my brothers. Ping Yi, you're dead!" The middle-aged man laughed heartily.
Then, he looked at the man and woman who were running away and immediately cursed, "You're all dead! Can't you see that they're running?
Quickly chase after them! "
The middle-aged man's subordinates recovered from their shock and immediately chased after the two.
The youth was just an ordinary person, so he couldn't run very fast. As for the young girl, although she was a mid-level Mystic practitioner, she was frightened to the point of panic and didn't know what to do.
"Cousin, you run first. I'll block them. If you can survive, you must take revenge for us in the future!" The youth said to the young girl with a will to die.
"No … Cousin, let's run together." The young girl was extremely afraid as she pulled on the other man's arm.
Although she was stronger than the youth, she was still a girl. Moreover, the other man's target was her. She had already lost her mind.
Although this youth was just an ordinary person, he had a heart that she could rely on.
"Hehe … Run? Where can you run to? There are powerful spirit beasts inside. If you run inside, you'll only become their food. Hurry up and come back with me. I guarantee that you'll be able to eat and drink well." The middle-aged man chased after them and laughed. His gaze fell on the young girl's body and constantly swept across her. It seemed like he couldn't wait to immediately pounce on her.
However, she had already become his pastry and couldn't escape from his palm. There was no need to be anxious.
"Let me tell you, I'm the young master of the Xin family. If my family members find out, you'll all die!" The youth blocked in front of the young girl and shouted loudly.
However, when he said these words, it was obvious that he lacked confidence.
"Hehe, you're just an abandoned young master of the Xin family. Who doesn't know about your trivial matters? You still dare to act like a snake in front of me? I'll first tie you up and then have some fun with your cousin. I'll let you see whether or not my performance is spectacular." The middle-aged man laughed evilly and strode towards the young boy and girl.
The young boy held a sword in his hand and his eyes were filled with resentment. "Cousin, hurry and kill your way out from behind. I'll block him."
The young man said as he raised his sword and slashed at the middle-aged man.
Although he couldn't cultivate, he still knew a few sword techniques. His attacks were somewhat imposing.
Unfortunately, in front of the middle-aged man, he couldn't even withstand a single blow. He was kicked far away and coughed up blood.
The young girl cried out in alarm, "Cousin!"
She was actually so stupid that she didn't run away. Instead, she ran in front of the youth and cried.
"Cousin, you … why didn't you run away?" The young boy said weakly.
"Cousin, I can't escape. If we die, we die together!" The young girl said very firmly.
Then, she stood up and placed the sword in front of her neck. She said to the middle-aged man, "If you take another step forward, I'll die in front of you."
However, would this move be effective against him?
The middle-aged man lifted his foot and a small rock flew up and hit the back of the young girl's hand. The sword in her hand fell to the ground.
"Little beauty, how could I bear to see you die? You'd better obediently be my concubine." The middle-aged man's body flashed and he appeared in front of the young girl with a lewd smile.
Then, he pulled the young girl into his embrace.
The young boy lying on the ground wanted to get up and save her, but unfortunately, he didn't have the strength to stand up.
"You beast, let go of my cousin!" The young boy's eyes were spitting fire as he roared.
