Chapter 1714: Hunting Beasts

Only to see the silver light in the sky scatter, and the big man was immediately wrapped by the beast skin, turning into a living Dark Beast.

The same black fur, sharp claws, it was exactly the same as the previous Dark Beast.

"Wonderful. I almost don't feel anything myself, but from the outside, there is such a change." The Dark Beast transformed by Shi Kun raised its front limb, looked at it carefully, and then burst into laughter.

"If the Thousand-Change Phantom Face didn't have such effects, I wouldn't have taken them out to let the two Fellow Daoists laugh at me," Liu Shui'er said with a smile.

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Liu. With this treasure, our journey will have an extra layer of cover," the Dark Beast said in human speech, looking overjoyed.

Han Li witnessed Shi Kun's transformation and also gained great confidence in the mask, but after a moment of thought, he thanked the cloaked woman and finally suggested:

"Now Fairy Liu and I don't have beast skins yet. But we shouldn't delay here any longer. Why don't we get on the road first and see if we can find any lone Dark Beasts on the way to solve it."

"Brother Han's words are exactly what I think. Our time is a bit tight, so naturally, we shouldn't waste any time," Liu Shui'er agreed immediately.

Shi Kun naturally had no other opinions.

Thereupon, the three of them quietly slipped out of the tree hole under the cover of night.

Shi Kun directly transformed into the appearance of a Dark Beast, but he spat out a ball of yellow clouds from his mouth, covering his body, and immediately turned into a faint yellow gas.

The night Dark Beast Forest was already blurry, and after Shi Kun performed this method, no one could discover his hidden figure without looking closely within ten feet.

Liu Shui'er took off a strange treasure that looked like a jade pendant from her waist, threw it in front of her, and it turned into a jade mouse that was crystal clear but a foot long.

The woman swayed her waist and stood on the mouse.

Then the jade mouse radiated faint white light, covering itself and Liu Shui'er on its back.

Both gradually became transparent in the white light, finally turning into a transparent phantom, looking as if they were there or not.

As for Han Li, it was even simpler.

The Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, after being purified, were purely wood-attribute treasures, and flying in this forest where wood spiritual energy was most concentrated was originally the most hidden thing.

Han Li just raised his sleeves, and a green sword a few inches long flew out. After circling, it turned into a green rainbow several feet long and rolled over his body.

A moment later, a streak of green light, almost invisible, shot out.

Just like this, the three of them used their means to cover their figures and finally officially set off, heading toward the depths of the Dark Beast Forest.

A few days later, a slender Dark Beast was walking slowly on the thick branches and leaves with elegant steps.

Suddenly, streaks of blue light shot out from a towering tree beside it, rolling its figure into it.

This female Dark Beast was shocked, emitting shrill cries from its mouth, and its two claws flashed with black claw light, grabbing at the blue light.

But the blue light just spun, and suddenly turned into a giant ball of light, completely wrapping the female Dark Beast inside.

The shrill cries from the Dark Beast's mouth only lasted half a sound before becoming low and inaudible. At the same time, the seemingly sharp claw light grabbed at the blue light, only causing it to ripple, unable to break through.

At this time, white light flashed on the surface of the giant tree, and a graceful figure appeared from inside.

It was Liu Shui'er!

She formed seals with one hand and held a blue crystal ball the size of a fist in the other, chanting incantations at the blue light.

A strange scene appeared.

Under the woman's urging, the blue ball of light spread out in all directions. A short while later, it turned into a blue light curtain covering an acre of land.

Then Liu Shui'er turned her palm, put away the blue crystal ball, and swayed her shoulders, turning into a white shadow and sinking into the light curtain.

The Dark Beast inside saw this and pounced on the woman without hesitation, and as it twisted its body, it split into three other black shadows.

Liu Shui'er, however, was not panicked, opening her cherry lips.

With a "chi-la" sound, a puff of slender blue silk shot out.

After scattering, it turned into a blue light net, covering the Dark Beast and those black shadow incarnations.

The Dark Beast saw this and didn't show weakness, opening its mouth and spitting out a black beam of light. The black shadows bared fangs and brandished claws, transforming into dense claw lights to meet the blue light net.

Immediately, rumbling loud noises erupted in the blue light curtain, and black and blue lights intertwined, with bursts of explosions.

This blue light curtain clearly had the supernatural power of isolation, and the violent changes in spiritual energy and the deafening sounds became very weak as soon as they reached outside the light curtain.

Liu Shui'er and the Dark Beast fought together.

Outside the blue light curtain, green light and yellow gas appeared, and Han Li and Shi Kun's figures emerged silently.

Both stared at the situation in the blue light curtain, their expressions different.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Liu is really troublesome, insisting on finding a female Dark Beast before she is willing to take action." Shi Kun shook his head and said.

"Since Fairy Liu wants to do this, she must have her own concerns," Han Li replied without changing his expression.

"Oh, it's understandable for Fairy Liu to have concerns as a woman. But why did Fellow Daoist Han give up on that Dark Beast two days ago? This has always made me somewhat strange," Shi Kun looked at Han Li with a strange expression upon hearing this.

"Nothing. That Dark Beast was already injured and covered in scars. Even if I took its fur, it would be somewhat inappropriate after transformation. I'd better find another one," Han Li said lightly.

"So that's it. I thought Brother Han saw that the injured Dark Beast had other cubs beside it and was suddenly filled with charity. Thinking about it, how could we cultivators have such shallow thoughts in our state of mind," Shi Kun said carelessly.

Han Li chuckled upon hearing this and didn't answer.

Just when the two were chatting in low voices, a muffled sound suddenly came from the blue light curtain, and the entire light curtain trembled slightly, but immediately returned to normal.

Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but narrow his eyes. And Shi Kun also looked surprised.

The blue light curtain suddenly shattered inch by inch, finally turning into points of spiritual light and vanishing.

Only to see Liu Shui'er standing quietly in the center of the light curtain. Beside her slender feet, the female Dark Beast lay motionless, its fur wet, but it didn't look like there was a single scratch on it.

Han Li's spiritual sense just swept over the beast, and he knew that this Dark Beast had already died.

"Good means. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Liu's water-attribute supernatural powers to be so astonishing, seemingly even a bit faster than mine the other day," Shi Kun's surprise gradually disappeared, but he clicked his tongue and praised.

"Why does Brother Shi mock me? Brother Shi's body is strong, which Fellow Daoist Han and I have both witnessed. How can my small means compare to that?" Liu Shui'er raised her hand to suck the Dark Beast into her hand and said with a sweet smile.

"Haha, if Fairy Liu's supernatural powers are small means, then my supernatural powers are even less worth mentioning. Fellow Daoist Han, now that I and Fairy Liu both have beast skins, only you are left. And the deeper we go into the forest, the more likely we are to encounter groups of Dark Beasts. You should also make plans early," Shi Kun suddenly turned his head and said to Han Li with deep meaning.

"Brother Shi, rest assured. I have my own plans and will definitely not joke with my own life," Han Li replied with a faint smile.

Three days later, beside a winding stream in the Dark Beast Forest, a Dark Beast with a body one-third larger than an ordinary Dark Beast was covered by a green light curtain.

Han Li hovered above the light curtain, eyes slightly closed, hands forming seals, casting some kind of spell, causing the green light curtain to flicker slightly.

The cloaked woman and Shi Kun stood beside the light curtain. One had eyes flashing, the other had a deep frown, but both were shocked.

This green light curtain was not only thick and solid, making it impossible for them to see the situation inside, but when their spiritual sense swept over it, it was also bounced away unceremoniously.

This was exactly the Spring Dawn Sword Formation set up by Han Li!

Han Li, hovering in the air, suddenly raised his eyebrows, stopped his hand seals, flicked his sleeves toward the bottom, and spat out the word "Collect."

Immediately, the green light curtain scattered, restoring dozens of green flashing flying swords, a few feet long, hovering in the air and shaking slightly.

Han Li just grabbed into the void, and all the flying swords flashed with green light, shrinking to a few inches in size, then shot out and all sank into his body.

On the ground originally covered by the sword formation, the giant Dark Beast had already fallen to the ground with blood flowing from its seven orifices, dead.

Seeing this, the cloaked woman and Shi Kun couldn't help but look at each other, but both saw a trace of wariness in each other's eyes.

Han Li saw this scene, but without changing his expression, he slowly landed, his feet landing right beside the Dark Beast's corpse.

"Two Fellow Daoists, with this Dark Beast skin, we can now boldly go into the depths of the forest," Han Li said to the other two with a free and easy smile.

"With the beast skin, of course, it's no problem. But I really didn't expect it. Brother Han's greatest supernatural power turned out to be the legendary sword formation. Although we couldn't see the situation in the formation, just being able to isolate my and Brother Shi's spiritual sense is enough to be called unfathomable," Liu Shui'er said with a bitter smile.

"Not bad. From the time you lured this Dark Beast into the formation to killing this beast and retracting the sword formation. Although it took a little longer than the two of us, not a single ripple of sound leaked out. It shows the magic of this sword formation. With this supernatural power, I think there are few opponents below the Saint level," Shi Kun also praised sincerely.

"Hehe! Why do the two Fellow Daoists need to flatter me? Although my Spring Dawn Sword Formation has some power, the two Fellow Daoists were given this heavy responsibility by two seniors, so your true skills must have only been revealed by one or two out of ten. How can it be compared to a mere sword formation!" Han Li chuckled and replied lightly.
