C1349 The Demons Had Come to Attack

"Roar!"

In an instant, a huge beast reached out its claws from the dark abyss. Shrouding the Sky seemed to cover the sun as it slammed down fiercely, as if it could tear the void apart.

With a wave of its claw, the earth shook and the mountains shook. Dust flew into the air, and rocks flew everywhere. The surrounding plants were destroyed, and branches and leaves flew everywhere. It was a terrifying scene.

"Damn it, the demons are attacking."

Zhou Yan's expression changed drastically as he unsheathed the sword in his hand and slashed out a Sword Energy that flew through the air.

The sharp Sword Energy slashed onto the claw of the huge beast, but it bounced back and almost collapsed.

"What a sturdy shell..." Zhou Yan's pupils contracted in fear.

This giant beast was hundreds of meters tall, like a towering mountain.

However, what was most eye-catching was that the beast's body was covered in red scales and it was as hard as steel.

The roar of the beast shook Heaven and Earth as it swiped out with its claw.

"Dammit...!"

Caught off guard, Zhou Yan dodged in a sorry state. The clothes on his chest were torn and bloody.

In the next second, a sharp sound pierced through the air as a sword pierced through the sand, carrying with it the power of destruction as it pierced straight through the giant beast's body.

The beast instantly froze and its expression froze. It had lost all of its life.

Zhou Yan stood up, wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the corpse at his feet. He sighed and said, "I never thought that I would be able to kill a giant beast with my own hands!"

This huge beast was extremely powerful and was comparable to a Body Tempering cultivator who cultivated martial skills. However, in the end, it was ambushed by Zhou Yan and directly chopped down.

Zhou Yan felt a little depressed. His strength was still too weak, and he was unable to unleash the full power of the talisman.

"Forget it, I'll just take it as it comes."

With a bitter smile, Zhou Yan walked to the corner of the cave, took out a stone brick, and knocked it on the ground.

Knock, knock, knock...

The stone brick was as hard as iron. A deep and muffled sound of impact echoed through the cave like thunder.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this voice, Zhou Yan frowned slightly, revealing a puzzled expression, and muttered to himself: "This is the core of the array formation. It contains a strong magnetic field that cannot be easily destroyed."

"However, the material of this stone tablet is clearly the same as that of an ordinary rock. How could it possibly resist the corrosion of the magnetic field?"

In ancient times, many mines and tombs had special magnetic fields.

Under the interference of the magnetic field, normal mines and tombs couldn't be used. Only treasures that specialized in countering the magnetic field such as jade walls and Spiritual Seals could resist it.

"This stone brick looks ordinary. There shouldn't be anything special about it," Zhou Yan thought.

"Forget it, I'll keep it for now. It might be useful in the future."

After casually throwing away the stone brick, Zhou Yan turned his head and looked around. His gaze landed on the talisman. With a thought, he reached out his hand to grab it.

"* Swish! Swish! Swish! *"

In an instant, countless runes flashed and shot out blazing flames.

"Not good."

Zhou Yan's expression changed slightly as he immediately let go and retreated.

A moment later, the runes dimmed and became ordinary once again.

"What's going on..."

Staring at the talisman, Zhou Yan was somewhat at a loss. He could vaguely guess that this talisman should possess some sort of restriction.

"Forget it, I'll take my time to study it in the future."

Shaking his head, Zhou Yan looked around and confirmed that there was no danger. Then, he slowly laid down on the ground and fell asleep.

He slept soundly and dreamlessly the entire night.

"Hmm?"

In the midst of his sleep, Zhou Yan woke up and felt hungry.

"I'm so hungry..."

Gulp, gulp...

His stomach rumbled like thunder, causing Zhou Yan's face to twitch in embarrassment.

A dignified man like him actually slept until he woke up naturally and was even hungry?

If news of this were to spread, he would definitely become a laughing stock!

"No, I have to hurry."

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and struggled to get up. Dragging his tired body, he continued to walk forward.

The journey became increasingly difficult.

In Zhou Yan's eyes, the forest was dense, the trees were tall, the Vines Twine was overgrown with weeds, and it was filled with a strange aura.

"* Creak! Creak! *"

Suddenly, the treetops shook, and a few rays of sunlight shone through the gaps and onto the ground.

"Eh, what is this?"

Zhou Yan was shocked as he noticed a withered old tree in front of him.

Under the old tree, there was a pile of withered and rotten leaves.

"These leaves seem to contain medicinal properties that can cure diseases and save people."

As such a thought appeared in Zhou Yan's mind, he immediately became excited.

Coincidentally, Zhou Yan was severely injured and needed to find supplements.

"This old tree has been growing for decades. There must be a lot of medicinal herbs. I can't let it go."

After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Yan carefully walked towards the old tree.

Just as he took a step forward, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar.1

"Who is it!?" Zhou Yan was vigilant and looked towards the direction of the Fame, but he was stunned.

From afar, a dozen or so masked men in black robes were rushing over on their horses.

"You guys...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Zhou Yan hesitated, his heart filled with shock. He did not know why these people were chasing after him.

Logically speaking, this place was located at the border of the Barbarian Kingdom and was isolated from the rest of the world. Where did these masked men come from?

"Eh, there's someone here?"

The group of black-robed men stopped their horses. One of them raised his head and looked around. The moment he saw Zhou Yan, he revealed a surprised expression.

"Who are you?"

Among the black-robed men, a young man in brocade clothes walked over. He had a handsome face and the demeanor of a noble young master.

"I am..."

Zhou Yan answered subconsciously, then shook his head and said, "I am a lost youth who encountered a strange situation. I hope that everyone can help me point out the way."

"Hehe, us brothers came from the Shi Family of the Southern Chu Country. Under the orders of the patriarch, we escorted the young lady out of the capital and back to the Southern Chu City."

The youth in brocade smiled and said gently, "Friend, let's set off together."

"So it's someone from the Southern Chu Country's Shi Family." Zhou Yan suddenly came to a realization and revealed a respectful expression.

In response, the young man in brocade nodded and instructed, "Rest for a while. I'll come pick you up after I report to the young miss."

After saying that, the young man in brocade called out and rode his horse away.

Seeing this, Zhou Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He sat cross-legged on the ground and started to circulate his Qi to heal his injuries.

As time passed by, Zhou Yan regained his energy and walked into the depths of the cave.

"* Rumble! *"

The cave was dark and quiet. An oil lamp hung on the wall, burning with an orange flame.

The cave was very simple. There were only two things: a table and a chair, and a bed with a dragon and phoenix carving on it.

On the bed was an ice coffin that gave off a cold aura that made one's hair stand on end.

Next to the ice coffin were three fist-sized balls that gave off a weird aura and gave off a mist that made one's heart shake.

Upon closer inspection, Zhou Yan's heart raced as his eyes trembled uncontrollably. It was difficult for him to suppress his excitement.

After all, that was a spirit pearl, a rare and precious treasure that was priceless.

"These spirit pearls should have been taken out from the bodies of spirit beasts..."
