Chapter 114: Heading Ahead

"Huh? Where are those Wangri Birds? How come I don't see them?"

"Heh, don't you know? They offended an Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion yesterday and have already been kicked out!"

Those with great supernatural powers, for the sake of the final competition, had not even stepped out of their doors for the past few days, practicing inside their caves; thus, they knew nothing of the news from the outside.

"Serves them right! Let them show off! Now it's fine, they don't even have a chance to participate in the final competition!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity. If they could have just endured it, perhaps they could have shone brilliantly in the Arena!"

"Bullshit! With their little bit of ability, they want to shine brilliantly? I think that's wishful thinking!"

The discussion from the stands reached the ears of Red Flame Tiger, and a cold sneer curled the corners of his mouth.

Those Wangri Bird fellows who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth had finally met their retribution!

He scanned his surroundings and did not find the figures of Zhang Yi and his group, feeling even more smug.

With these eyesores gone, his chances of winning the championship had increased by a few points!

"Hmph, this spot for the Trial Land belongs to me!" Red Flame Tiger thought to himself.

The competition in the Arena had already begun.

All kinds of spells and demon arts emerged one after another, dazzling the onlookers.

Red Flame Tiger glanced at the competition in the Arena with disdain; in his view, the moves of these fellows were too weak and not worth fearing at all.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for his moment to arrive.

The competition in the Arena finally settled; amidst the swirling smoke, three figures stood motionless like three war gods, looking down at the losers wailing all over the ground.

Red Flame Tiger panted heavily, his chest heaving violently, his tiger fur stained with blood and dust, looking utterly disheveled, but the ecstasy of victory flashed in his eyes.

Damn it, finally made it through! This damned Trial Land, here I come!

The other two winning Demon Beasts: one had a figure like a mountain, with earth-yellow light swirling around its body—it was clearly a ten-thousand-year-old turtle that had gained intelligence.

The other was a jet-black leopard demon, fast as lightning, with a pair of dark green eyes flashing with a cold light.

These two were also putting on an arrogant air at this moment, as if the whole world were crawling at their feet.

The surrounding Demon Beasts cast looks of envy, jealousy, and hatred, and the whispering never ceased.

"Tsk tsk, these three fellows really got lucky!"

"Isn't that so? One year of Gao Ji Lingfu! I dream of living in there!"

"Sigh, I don't know what kind of ghost place this Trial Land is, to make so many Demon Beasts break their heads trying to get in."

"Who knows? Probably some place with hidden treasures. Hehe, if I could go with them, maybe I could scrape up some benefits..."

Just then, a Great Demon wearing a gold robe slowly walked onto the Arena, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire venue, causing the noisy sounds to stop abruptly.

"Congratulations to the three of you for standing out in this Arena competition!"

The Great Demon's booming voice resounded throughout the entire square, "You will receive the right to use the Gao Ji Lingfu of the Demon Saint Mansion for one year, and tomorrow you will follow us to the Trial Land to compete for opportunities!"

Once these words were spoken, the whole place boiled over!

"One year of Gao Ji Lingfu?! My god!"

"These three fellows have really made it big!"

"Trial Land! I heard there are countless treasures inside, and even the inheritance of ancient divine beasts!"

"I'm going to watch the fun tomorrow too, maybe I can pick up some scraps..."

Red Flame Tiger listened to the surrounding discussion, feeling even more exceptionally smug.

At the same time.

Just as the Demon Saint Mansion Arena competition was in full swing, Zhang Yi's family was heading toward the direction of the Trial Land.

Mother Jubiao lovingly held Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon, the two little ones sleeping soundly in her warm embrace.

Wind God Pterosaur followed beside Zhang Yi, chatting aimlessly, trying to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

As for Nudi, she was as cold and arrogant as ever, walking alone at the very front, as if she were out of place with the team behind her.

Wind God Pterosaur gave a "slap" on Zhang Yi's shoulder, causing him to wince in pain, "Hiss—are you trying to kill me with pain?!"

Wind God Pterosaur smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands, "Hehe, I was just seeing that you looked all wilted, kid."

"We're going to the Trial Land in such a grand manner, and you looking like this, isn't it a disgrace? That place is full of experts! Much more powerful than those old fellows we saw at the Demon Saint Mansion!"

"Among our group, only you kid has the guts to go up and fight. But with you like this, what the hell are you going to fight with!"

"How about we change places? Find a place with abundant spiritual energy and let you heal your wounds first?"

Listening to Wind God Pterosaur's nagging, Zhang Yi felt irritable.

His body burned with pain, and he wished he could immediately find a place with rich spiritual energy to heal.

The spiritual energy in his body was constantly leaking out through his wounds; if this continued, he would definitely become a weakling!

"Can you shut your crow's mouth!"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes in annoyance, "If you shut up, I'll get better faster!"

Wind God Pterosaur pouted aggrievedly and muttered in a low voice, "I'm just telling the truth... your wounds look scary..."

Zhang Yi couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind; he endured the pain and quickened his pace, wanting only to reach the destination as soon as possible.

Nudi suddenly stopped, turned around, and swept a cold glance at them, "What are you arguing about? Shut up, all of you!"

Wind God Pterosaur shuddered in fear, immediately closed his mouth, and followed obediently behind.

After walking for a while, a dense forest appeared before them, with ancient trees towering into the sky, blocking out the sun, and the air filled with a damp and ancient aura.

"This is it."

Nudi pointed to the depths of the forest, "The Trial Land is inside."

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, feeling the rich spiritual energy in the air, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

As long as he could enter the Trial Land and find a place rich in spiritual energy to cultivate, his injuries would soon be able to heal.

"Let's go." Nudi stepped into the forest first.

Zhang Yi followed closely behind, and the Pterosaur and the Jubiao mother also brought the two little ones inside.

The light in the forest was dim, and the trees were lush and leafy, crisscrossing and almost blocking out all the sunlight.

Underfoot was a thick layer of fallen leaves, which made a "rustle" sound when stepped upon.

"This place is eerie; I keep feeling like something is staring at us..."

The Pterosaur shrank its neck and looked around vigilantly.

"Don't scare yourself."

Zhang Yi said irritably, "The spiritual energy here is so dense, there must be many powerful Demon Beasts; just be careful."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a gust of cold wind blew by, and the leaves rustled, as if something were moving through the forest.

"Damn it! There really is something!" The Pterosaur jumped up in fright.

The Jubiao mother shook her head helplessly, "It's nothing, just some small Demon Beasts."
