Chapter 213: Reunion

After the demon crocodile rolled on the ground, it stood up angrily. Not far from it, a young man had already appeared. Looking at the golden patterns embroidered on his clothes, he was a Lingyin Sect disciple.

Song Qingming lay in place, his eyes tightly watching the front. His position was still a hundred feet away from the battlefield just now. Although the other party's cultivation was higher than his, as long as it was not someone with particularly outstanding spiritual sense, it should be impossible for them to discover him.

The demon crocodile, having received a blow, looked angrily at the Lingyin Sect cultivator who was getting closer and closer to it. After its huge eyeballs, which were bigger than fists, rolled around, it suddenly kicked its four feet with all its might and flew rapidly toward him with its bloody mouth wide open.

The young man's cultivation had already reached the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment. Facing this second-tier low-quality demon beast, he appeared very calm. Seeing the demon crocodile rushing directly toward him, a trace of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When the demon crocodile was less than a few feet away from him, the young man suddenly revealed a cyan ring the size of a palm and cast it toward the demon crocodile.

The cyan ring suddenly grew larger and larger in the air, and then three identical rings appeared, instantly trapping the demon crocodile inside, causing it to stop in place all at once.

The trapped demon crocodile wanted to rely on brute force to break free from the cyan rings rapidly, but it discovered that this magic tool was very tough and did not let it get its wish, so it could only roll on the ground in a hurry.

Seeing that the demon crocodile was controlled, the Lingyin Sect cultivator hurriedly walked forward quickly and put the few spirit herbs into his pocket. Although the quality of these spirit herbs was not very high, adding them up was worth more than a hundred spirit stones, which was still worth a Foundation Establishment cultivator making a move.

Under normal circumstances, compared to these few spirit herbs, the demon beast materials on that second-tier demon crocodile were clearly the more valuable things. But after the Lingyin Sect cultivator finished picking the spirit herbs, he directly put away the cyan ring and left the place quickly, not even looking at the demon crocodile again.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming finally confirmed that what Huang Shengyue told him before was indeed correct. The various demon beasts here were all nourished by the secret realm, and their overall strength would be slightly weaker than demon beasts outside. It was not difficult for Foundation Establishment cultivators who entered to kill one or two second-tier demon beasts inside.

It was just that after these demon beasts died, they would disappear naturally in at most half a day, and there was no way to bring the materials on them out of the secret realm. Cultivators who entered here were basically here for spirit items. As long as these demon beasts did not cause trouble, everyone would not waste energy to kill these demon beasts.

This point should be the same as the secret realm in the Fuyun Mountain Range. When Song Qingming killed several low-tier demon beasts with his own hands inside back then, after entering for the second time a few months later, he found that they had reappeared in their original places.

After a while, when the Lingyin Sect cultivator had left this place for a moment, Song Qingming finally stood up slowly and moved away from here in the opposite direction to where the Lingyin Sect cultivator had just left.

After bypassing this place, Song Qingming entered a swamp. Relying on his years of experience in hunting demons, Song Qingming felt that there must be many demon beasts hidden inside. He slowed his pace slightly and also put on the Hidden Spirit Shirt he had exchanged from Li Hongyu back then.

Although this magic robe could hide a cultivator's figure, it did not have much effect when facing a cultivator of the same tier at close range and could easily be detected by the spiritual sense emitted by the cultivator. It was only a little useful when facing demon beasts with low intelligence.

With this magic robe helping to hide his figure, as long as he was not particularly close, the ordinary demon beasts inside would certainly not discover Song Qingming's trail. However, the Hidden Spirit Shirt consumed his own magic power very quickly and could not be used for a long time. It could only last for half an hour at most, which was just enough for him to pass through this dangerous swamp.

This secret realm looked like it should be slightly larger than the one in the Fuyun Mountain Range. After Song Qingming entered, he had already walked for several hours and had not encountered any other cultivators besides seeing that young Lingyin Sect cultivator on the ground.

Looking at the Green Jade Mother-Child Mirror in his hand again, Song Qingming discovered with some surprise that Huang Shengxin's position seemed to have moved quite a bit. According to the agreement of the few people before, he should try his best to stay in place and wait for everyone to reunite and act together. He did not know if there had been any changes on his side.

At this moment, Huang Shengxin, who was a thousand miles away, was nervously watching not far behind him in a large tree. He was a bit unlucky; the position where he landed happened to be beside a beehive of Golden Armor Bees. Huang Shengxin's movement soon alarmed the Golden Armor Bees patrolling nearby, and instantly several hundred Golden Armor Bees surrounded him.

Although these Golden Armor Bees were not strong individually, with the strongest being only first-tier top-quality, it was different when tens of thousands of them united. Even a ninth-layer Foundation Establishment expert like Huang Shengxin had to choose to flee in panic when facing such a situation.

These Golden Armor Bees were not only numerous but also very vengeful. When Huang Shengxin encountered them, it was just to protect himself, and he killed several hundred of them, only to be chased by them for several hundred miles in one breath.

After resting in the large tree for a while, he discovered that there were finally no more Golden Armor Bees chasing him. Huang Shengxin finally had time to catch his breath. At this moment, his body had already been stung more than a dozen times by these Golden Armor Bees. Although he had taken detoxification pills on the road, there were still some places on his body that had not yet subsided, and he looked truly miserable.

After resting for a while, Huang Shengxin opened the Green Jade Mother-Child Mirror in his hand to look and discovered that during this period of time, the other three people holding the child mirrors had approached his position quite a bit, which finally made him relax and wait in this place with peace of mind.

After half a day, when it was dark, Huang Shengyue, who was closest to him, arrived here first. Seeing that the patriarch of her own clan had suffered injuries in many places, Huang Shengyue was also full of surprise. She did not expect that with Huang Shengxin's peak Foundation Establishment cultivation, he would become like this less than a day after entering the secret realm.

Although she also encountered several waves of demon beasts along the way, her luck was considered relatively good, and the ones she encountered were all first-tier demon beasts that were not very powerful, which did not pose any threat to her.

It was not until Huang Shengxin told her in detail about his encounter that Huang Shengyue finally understood what had happened before, and she felt a lingering fear in her heart. Even Huang Shengxin had not escaped safely after encountering them. If it had been her who landed among that group of Golden Armor Bees as soon as she came in, she feared it would have been difficult for her to get away.

After the two talked for a while, another person had already arrived here.

"Two Fellow Daoists, I have finally seen you."
