"Miss Chu Lan, if the three of us act because our target is too big, it would be too easy for us to reveal our whereabouts. I offended the people from the Four Great Marquis Manor as well, so there's likely going to be a fierce battle. It would be better for us to act separately." As he spoke, he let go of his hand.

"That's not good. After all, we are the ones with the advantage. If we encounter any trouble, won't we be able to take care of it?" Why don't we wait until they get their hands on the Spirit Crystal and beast cores before snatching it? " Xia Ruoxi said as she hesitated.

Xia Menglan thought for a while, then shook her head: "That's not right, to snatch is to plan, other people's strength is unknown, to recklessly charge will only end up taking their own life, and with Warrior Beast Forest slashing across 100 miles, in Lin You Valley, if we are not careful, we will become lost, and it's best for us not to act alone, to avoid any accidents."

Xia Ruoxi and Qin Lie nodded, agreeing with Xia Chu Lan's words. Amongst the many participants, the two of them belonged to the lower realm, but their eyes were shining with ferocity and ambition.

"How big is your Warrior Beast Forest?" Qin Lie suddenly asked.

"I don't know, and no one does." Xia Chu Lan muttered to herself for a moment, then said: "Only if we enter, go through the entire Warrior Beast Forest, and maybe then we will be able to figure it out."

"Then, Miss Chu Lan, is it that as long as we come out alive, we can obtain the rewards?" Qin Lie thought for a while and said.

Xia Chu Lan nodded her head, "Of course, the living will give out rewards according to the rankings.

"It's to encourage participants to fight inside." Xia Ruoxi said coldly.

"It's always been this way." Xia Chu Lan frowned, "Since you've decided to participate, you should be prepared to be killed. From what I know, less than ten percent of the people who can make it out alive from Warrior Beast Forest. "

Hearing this, their expressions changed slightly.

"I hope our luck isn't so bad." Xia Ruoxi could only pray in secret.

"Generally not. Everyone should be careful as soon as you enter. If you meet any intelligent species that are still alive, then … Run as far as you can. " Xia Chu Lan reminded her out of good intentions.

The latter became silent again.

After the people from the Nine Xuan Empire entered the Warrior Beast Forest, Xia Chu Lan said gently, "Let's go in." Finished speaking, Xia Chu Lan's body gracefully moved like a willow leaf dancing and flew into the entrance.

"En!" Qin Lie took a deep breath, his expression gradually became grim, and then followed the two of them.

Before long, the three of them had entered the entrance to the Warrior Beast Forest.

After Xia Menglan and the other two entered the Warrior Beast Forest, cold laughter suddenly sounded out from behind.

"I don't want to let this idiot live another moment. Why don't we go in and kill him first before killing the Demon Beast? What do you think about the two of you?" The Heavenly Cauldron Marquis Mansion's Feng Yu stared at the figures from behind. An extremely dense arc surfaced at the corner of his mouth, just like a poisonous snake lurking in the darkness.

"We will listen to Brother Feng Yu-ge's arrangements!" Tian Feng Xing and Tian Fang Qi glanced at Tian Feng Yu in surprise, then hurriedly echoed her words.

"Hmm, then we'll give this kid a 'pleasant surprise'!" "Haha …"

As more and more people entered the forest, the Warrior Beast Forest produced a series of sounds. However, because of the barrier, this noise was quickly covered.

Qin Lie randomly stood in an empty space, but he did not see any trace of Xia Ruoxi or Xia Chu Lan. Looking at the nearby bushes, his expression suddenly turned serious.

He saw countless corpses. Some of the bones were bigger, so it was obvious that they were Demon Beast s, and some of the bones had Mindu the shape of humans. The sun was hidden as thick clouds covered the sky. Hundreds of bones were scattered across the dusky land. It was a desolate and lonely place.

Just then, two groups of people descended from the surrounding, upon seeing that it was the Demon Suppressing King Palace's people, they immediately acted as if they were facing a great enemy, with cautious eyes staring at them, while Qin Lie naturally looked at them, not caring at all.

These two teams of people were both chosen by the aristocratic families to participate, but their Cultivation Level s were all around the seventh or eighth level of Body Refining Stage. They did not pose much of a threat to Qin Lie, and as long as they did not provoke him, he did not need to fight them.

"Swoosh!" Since the two did not have any intention to fight, Qin Lie did not hesitate, and quickly snuck into the forest, the scenery around him was extremely strange. Qin Lie occasionally looked at the surroundings with focus, and could see traces of battle, he saw over 10 corpses of Demon Beast, but Martial Cultivator's corpses were rarely seen.

With regards to the tracks of the Martial Cultivator, Qin Lie did not pursue them. Instead, he used his own senses to determine the direction they should be heading and slowly headed deeper into the forest.

That was the most dangerous and mysterious place in the Warrior Beast Forest! Circulating the Soaring Dragon Heaven Steps, he was as fast as lightning. No one could compare to him. With a dragon and tiger step, he traveled the world on his own.

Magma spewed out of the crater of the volcano that was as hot as a soldering iron. The magma was like a waterfall, splashing towards the foot of the mountain like rivers of flames.

The scarlet land was filled with a dry, scorching, and stifling aura of fire. Streams of winding rivers flowed with terrifying lava.

The rocks that he saw were all bright red, and they were all covered by the flames in the sky, the lava on the ground, and the surging volcanoes. Under such extreme conditions, it was impossible for any plants to survive, and the weak to live on. A figure suddenly appeared at the foot of a volcano.

Qin Lie stood on a scarlet red boulder and felt that his shoes were about to be roasted. Smelling the smell of sulfur that was hot, his expression became extremely solemn.

From the scorching hot air, he did not feel a trace of the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth! This meant that, in the entirety of his Warrior Beast Forest, there was no natural spirit energy that could replenish Spiritual Energy and continue to cultivate. This meant that once the Spiritual Energy in the secret realm was exhausted, he would be as weak as an ordinary person, unable to adapt to this harsh environment.

"Swoosh!"

A bright, fiery meteor fell from the burning sky. It was like a fiery river that flowed through the sky as its fiery power overflowed into the heavens. The skyfire meteor was tens of meters away from him. However, a scorching heat wave that covered the sky and covered the earth came crashing down over him, causing his clothes and skin to be covered in it. They all had to be ignited and set ablaze.

Qin Lie was dumbstruck.

He quickly calmed down. Seeing that the skyfire meteor was about to fall, he hurriedly moved away to avoid being affected.

"Bam!"

The blazing meteor crashed into the stream of lava. Hundreds of streams of burning liquid, mixed with terrifying wisps of fiery light, shot in every direction. The gigantic crimson red boulder that Qin Lie had landed on was struck by the burning light and instantly shattered.

The crimson boulders exploded, sending rocks flying everywhere. Among them, there were five or six that were as translucent as red agate. As they spun through the air, they released dazzling rainbow light, bewitching beauty.

"Fire Crystal!" As Qin Lie flew backwards, he saw that the gigantic boulder had suddenly exploded after being struck by the beam of fire and started to cry out involuntarily. A strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes as he stared at the five translucent, miraculous crystals. There seemed to be flames pulsating inside of them.

These crystals were like the most gorgeous gems, the most beautiful agate, and their ruddy luster was intoxicating.

The mystical spirit materials also had clear levels, such as Common, Profound, Earth, Heaven, and Divine. Each level had another seven grades.

This was an Earth Grade six spirit material, the Flame Crystal. It was an extremely precious source of refined fire, and also a rare Spirit Crystal that could directly strengthen Cultivation Level because it was a Martial Cultivator that cultivated fire attribute.

Qin Lie was secretly amazed. Seeing that the fire light and the fiery liquid in front of him had stopped pulsing, he hurriedly looked in the direction that the fire crystals were falling in and flew into the air.

Two out of the five Heavenly Flame Crystals fell into the stream of lava. The burning heat from the stream prevented him from touching them, and he had no choice but to give up.

The other three Flame Crystals, the two of them were fist-sized.

After putting the three fire crystals into his spatial pouch, Qin Lie's gaze uncontrollably fell on the stream of flowing lava beside him.

There was a Flame Crystal right under the stream, which he could vaguely see with narrowed eyes.

"Men die for wealth, and birds die for food! Let's go all out! " Qin Lie gritted his teeth and used the Dragon Transformation skill. His left hand extended out like lightning and submerged into the lava stream.

He immediately grabbed a fist-sized Heavenly Flame Crystal and threw it into his spatial bag.

"Chi chi chi!"

The magma that he had touched possessed a terrifyingly high temperature. The flame power quickly seeped into his body, making it so that he couldn't hold on for much longer.

He let out a strange cry and continued to wave his arms, shaking off the magma.

He awkwardly cleaned up the fiery liquid in the magma stream, his face somewhat pale.

"There is still a Fire Crystal, do you want to …" He looked at another spot with eyes full of hesitation.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and used the same method to take another Flame Crystal out of the fiery liquid.

He kept shaking his arms.

A few drops of fiery liquid accidentally splashed onto his chest as he hastily shook them.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

The thin translucent icy halo around his chest could not withstand it and directly melted.

Qin Lie's chest was immediately burned by the fiery liquid. The fiery liquid also had a strong corrosive effect. After a moment of shock, he decisively cut off a piece of flesh from his chest. Only then did he stop the Fire Poison from seeping in.

Qin Lie's expression was ugly as he panted heavily. He looked at the sky, where whether or not the streaks of heavenly fire had fallen, the winding streams of lava, and the volcanoes that continued to spew fire, as if they were about to explode at any moment.

He gradually realized that within this Warrior Beast Forest, even if there wasn't a similar slaughter, it would still be extremely difficult for the Demon Beast to survive if it were to attack.

After leaving this place, Qin Lie came to a forest.

"Roar!"

In the dense forest, a long beast roar suddenly came out, it was extremely irritable and a large group of birds flapped their wings as they flew out. It was clear that the invasion of the Martial Cultivator had made the Demon Beast that were resting here restless.

Qin Lie's figure did not stop because of this roar, he still advanced forward like a swimming dragon, quickly rushing into the depths of the forest. On the way, he met a few Demon Beast, but he did not even look at them.

In his opinion, Demon Beast of this level were too weak.

After a few minutes, Qin Lie rushed to the depths of the central region without stopping.

There were many big trees here, covering up everything. The roots were like horned dragons, some of them had already extended out of the ground and were very complicated.

In the distance, there was a mountain range and a sea of trees. There were rustling sounds, and among them, the roars of Demon Beast gradually became clearer. Perhaps it was due to the fact that the roars were so loud, but a primordial aura permeated the air.

The leaves rustled in the air. There was clearly no wind, but they were constantly swaying, bringing with them an indescribable feeling of rhythm. It made one's heart shake along with them.

Ever since there was a dragon and an elephant lurking in his body, the blood flowing in his bones gradually became cold.

Suddenly, Qin Lie moved. He disappeared from where he stood, his hand forming a blade with one hand, and without any energy in the air, he slashed a huge tree in half. With a loud bang, the tree fell to the ground, bringing up a large amount of smoke and sand.

"Still not coming out?" In the dust, Qin Lie walked out. Looking at the series of traces on the ground, he smiled.

"Weng weng weng …"

Qin Lie's body started to shine with a golden light, as though he was a god. Then, both of his hands suddenly probed the ground, grabbing onto a smooth and rapidly wiggling body, and then forcefully lifting it upwards.

"Come out!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, the ground suddenly cracked and cracks appeared. A gigantic black shadow was held in Qin Lie's hands, and continued to smash into the ground.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss …"

The crawling creature in Qin Lie's hands roared continuously, its huge body twisting and turning, releasing a huge destructive force. Many rows of trees were sliced into pieces, and wood splinters flew everywhere.

However, Qin Lie's hands were like Nine-toothed Nail Rakes, firmly grabbing onto the monster. No matter how it struggled, it couldn't loosen its grip.

Gradually, the creature's struggling force became smaller and smaller. Soon, it stopped struggling and returned back to its original state.

Qin Lie carefully sized up this creature that he had discovered underground. Its body was around eight meters long, and it weighed tens of tons as it laid there horizontally, like a deep ravine, with fine scales all over its body. At this moment, it was reflecting a luster that seemed to be made of steel, and its eyes were fierce.

Fourth Rank Demon Beast, Iron Scale Python!

This was a very powerful Demon Beast, at the peak of the Body Refining Stage realm. It had a vicious personality, but at this moment, it was subdued by Qin Lie's palm strike.

"Puff …"

He was very decisive. He grabbed the snake's head with one hand while pointing with the other. His extreme speed allowed him to pierce through the snake's head. Instantly, a fishy smell of fresh blood filled the air, spreading rapidly.

The instant the snake head exploded, a happy expression surfaced on Qin Lie's face, because within the dead flesh and blood was a hard and hard object that was similar to a crystal, and was permeated with dense amounts of nature spirit energy.

It was the Demon Beast beast core, and its quality seemed to be very good!

Feeling the Spirit Beast Cores in his hands spreading, Qin Lie was in a good mood.

After putting the beast core into his pocket, Qin Lie prepared to continue walking forward. However, before he even took a step forward, he felt a danger approaching him.
