Chapter 290: The Mysterious White Tiger

Xiaoxian did not dare to delay; if her blood were to lose its effect after a while, wouldn't it have been wasted for nothing?

Thinking of this, Xiaoxian immediately released the pressure unique to a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

Almost in an instant, everyone was stunned for a short time by this powerful force of the Dragon Race; a massive dragon roar shook the heavens, and a golden dragon shadow flickered in the air.

And the forest, which had been dark and sunless, suddenly refracted a beam of sunlight, as if sweeping away all the gloom in an instant.

Although the scenery was no different from before, the few observant people immediately discovered the unusual aspect.

"Is it over? Did it succeed?"

Xiaoxian was thick-skinned; seeing that none of them were speaking, she assumed it had failed and looked nervous.

The group only then reacted; it was hard to imagine that Xiaoxian, as a young dragon, could release such powerful pressure, and it was hard to imagine her strength after she grew up.

"You did very well, it succeeded."

Su Chen could not help but praise.

Hearing this, Xiaoxian immediately wagged her tail happily, her slender tail slapping the ground from time to time, showing that its owner was in a very good mood.

"As expected of me! Xiaoxian is the best."

Xiaoxian could not help but gloat.

Su Chen also smiled helplessly, picked Xiaoxian up, placed her on his shoulder, and said, "Let's go, we are going up the mountain now."

Since they had set off on the journey up the mountain in such a grand manner, they could clearly feel that this time was different from before, but at the same time, the terrain was becoming increasingly intricate and complex.

After walking for a while, the group arrived at a fork in the road.

"Strange, why is this place like a maze?"

Seeing this, Lv Luo could not help but say; as a Tree Spirit, she had an innate affinity for nature, and the forks in the road along the way had all been identified by her.

"It is likely to prevent outsiders from entering; complex terrain makes it easy for them to lose their direction."

Hearing this, Su Chen frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said.

The more noble a race, the stronger their sense of protection over their own territory, especially top-tier groups of the Western Wasteland like the Dragon Race; it could almost be said that many people were eyeing them covetously.

It was no surprise that so many protective arrays had been set up.

Thinking of this, the group followed Lv Luo and continued walking.

On the surface, this maze looked no different from the scenery on the mountain, but in reality, there were very few paths one could walk among the neatly arranged trees; they were almost all walking along fixed trajectories.

After walking for half a day like this, they finally saw the exit.

It was just that the exit was shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see the direction clearly, like a giant beast lurking in the dark night, just waiting for confused passersby to enter before swallowing them up.

Now that this was the only path, the group had no choice but to move forward.

Su Chen took the lead; as soon as he stepped out onto the soft soil, he immediately discovered something wrong. He subconsciously wanted to retreat and hurriedly said, "Something's wrong, quickly move back..."

But it was already too late; the originally soft ground suddenly turned into a huge black vortex, the original scenery became distorted at this moment, and everything changed. The group was caught off guard, but they soon cast their Dharma techniques, attempting to rush out. However, due to the restrictions of the Holy Mountain, as soon as they cast them, they were forcibly suppressed, and the suction of the black vortex grew stronger and stronger, finally sucking all of them in.

Not until everyone had entered was it overly quiet, as if nothing had happened at all.

On the other side, after Su Chen and the others were sucked in, they cast their Spiritual Power in a panic, but this place was no different from the Holy Mountain and still had restrictions. Fortunately, the height was not great, so even though they fell to the ground, no major problems occurred.

"Where have we arrived?"

Lv Luo rubbed her bottom, which felt like it was about to break in two, and could not help but say.

The surroundings were also an endless forest, somewhat similar to the Holy Mountain, but the plants here were lush and dripping with green, visibly full of vitality, completely different from the death and decay within the Holy Mountain.

"We should still be within the Holy Mountain, but we have been trapped in a Secret Realm; otherwise, the restrictions of the Holy Mountain would not have taken effect."

Hearing this, Luo Shen analyzed rationally and began to examine the surrounding scenery.

"This place is very much like the Holy Mountain recorded in books, like how it looked before Lanbo arrived."

Yi Zhuyue looked around and continued.

After she arrived at the Tianxuan Continent, although she could not leave the territory of the Qingyun Alliance, she had learned about many things in other places in order to collect information, and she had seen the past landscape of the Holy Mountain in the archives.

"According to the Inheritance Memory, this looks more like the Holy Mountain from hundreds of thousands of years ago."

Natasha pursed her lips and could not help but say, then pointed to a small flower nearby, "This small flower is a Sun Flower; it grows towards the sun and contains rich Spiritual Power. It is the nemesis of all evil spirits, but ever since Lanbo came here and ordered all the Sun Flowers to be eradicated, coupled with the later environment, it was no longer suitable for the growth of Sun Flowers, so they gradually became extinct."

Hearing Natasha's words, the group could not help but fix their eyes on the Sun Flower. The small flower was bright yellow with a white center and tender green stems, appearing very vibrant.

As soon as Xiaoxian saw that this Sun Flower looked so good, her craving was instantly triggered. She could not help but take a bite, and after eating, she smacked her lips: "Delicious, sweet, like honey."

The group could not help but be amused by her gluttonous appearance.

But they hadn't been relaxed for long when they suddenly heard a huge tiger roar, followed by a heaven-shaking sound. Looking in the direction of the gaze, they immediately discovered a white tiger running toward them.

Its golden eyes carried thick murderous intent, and its black and white stripes were clear; its goal was very specific, and it was heading toward them.

This ordinary-looking white tiger had actually reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm! The group instantly entered a state of combat readiness. Lv Luo took the lead, rushed over, and immediately used vines to bind it in place.

But who would have thought that the white tiger only paused briefly before suddenly releasing raging flames from its body, burning those vines to nothing.

And those flames also scorched Lv Luo's palms along the vines. Lv Luo could not help but retreat two steps in pain, her small face turning pale.

Yi Zhuyue pursed her lips and rushed over, slashing a sword toward the white tiger's head.

Perhaps the white tiger was very alert; almost in an instant, it quickly dodged to the side, its movements very sharp.

Something is wrong.

On the surface, this white tiger was at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, but its reactions and cultivation were clearly higher than the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Su Chen immediately released the Blue Quenching Spirit Fire and cast it toward the white tiger.

But the white tiger's movements were very flexible, and for a short time, he was actually unable to hit it.
