”It's a matter of life and death. There's still some distance between this place and Heaven's Eye Lake. Should we continue moving forward?”

Bai Yi was determined to retreat, and said fearfully: ”There must be even stronger demonic beast on our way here, this mission is not something that we can complete, I think we should give up on it.”

There were very few disciples in the Sky Realm Academy who had the Lifestealer Realm to penetrate deep into this place, so it was normal for Bai Yi to be afraid.

Qing Han objected: ”We're already here, we can't let ourselves die in vain. We can't just turn back like that after walking for half an hour.

These words were indeed unpleasant to hear, but they were also the truth. Everyone could get an extra five points, which was equivalent to five million silver taels.

Bing Tong agreed: ”Just now, these bloodhound have already helped us clean up a large portion of the demonic beast. The next section of the road will be a bit easier, let's continue.”

Bai Yi looked at Di Chen again, but Di Chen didn't care, he just followed along. Seeing this, Bai Yi could no longer object, as he did not dare to return by himself.

They would occasionally see a few demonic beast that were easily killed by the four of them and would be given to Di Chen as the demon corpses. However, after walking for more than twenty minutes, the number of demonic beast had increased, and this place had already left the range of the bloodhound. From this point on, Demonic King would appear, and the four of them had to be extra careful.

Di Chen rubbed his eyes, which were emitting a sharp light. He noticed that the black halos surrounding Bing Tong and the other two were thicker, which meant that they would very likely die on the road ahead. He groaned in his heart, and it seemed that he was going to be in even more danger.

”Hmm? Look, ”Bai Yi suddenly stopped everyone and pointed:” That is a black ringed snake.

Everyone looked towards the direction that Bai Yi was pointing at. Twenty metres away, there was a huge snake with a coiled up body. This snake had a black ring on its body and a black crown on its head.

Bing Tong's expression changed as he said, ”This black ringed snake is of Demonic King rank. Let's go around it.”

”Wait,” Qing Han said hesitantly: ”This black ringed snake is a first grade Demonic King and we haven't discovered us yet. If we sneak attack, we might be able to kill this black ringed snake.

”Are you crazy?” Bing Tong hurriedly explained: ”This black ringed snake is a Demonic King, how can it not notice us? Under normal circumstances, snakes wouldn't casually attack other people after eating, but if they encounter danger they would spit out something they eat and attack you. Your idea of hitting it is simply courting death.”

Bing Tong was knowledgeable and understood all kinds of habits of demonic beast, so hearing her say this, Qing Han had no choice but to give up.

In fact, it was just as Bing Tong had said. If not for the fact that everyone was lucky and met the black ringed snake, it would have ambushed them right after they finished eating.

The group had no choice but to take a detour. On the left was a miasma, and without a doctor accompanying them, it was very dangerous. They could only take a detour on the right. Although it was a long way, it was still relatively safe.

The vegetation on the right was lush, and trees towered into the forest. There was no road, and it was likely that no one had passed through here.

Suddenly!

”Hmm?” Di Chen frowned, he stopped in his tracks, and suddenly turned his head to look behind him.

”Di Chen, what's wrong?” Bing Tong continued to look at what Di Chen was doing. Other than the lush vegetation behind him, there was nothing else.

”I'm fine,” Di Chen said as he shook his head. Ever since he had cultivated to the eighth stage of the Scholar's Realm, he had become much more sensitive than before. Although he did not sense any aura, he had clearly sensed that someone was following him.

The group continued their journey. Not long after they left, a bush behind them suddenly shook and a white wolf head poked out.

”Weird,” Bing Tong stopped after walking for another 10 minutes or so. He frowned, and looked around vigilantly, other than a few tall trees and a few stones, there was nothing else.

Qing Han asked: ”Bing Tong, what's the problem?”

Bing Tong was worried: ”This place is already halfway up the mountain, there should be a lot of demonic beast, but here not only are there no demonic beast, there are even no normal insects, don't you think it's strange?

Once she said that, the others revealed a hint of worry. Previously, they didn't see any demonic beast either, and then a group of red-eyed wolves suddenly jumped out. The current situation was exactly the same as before.

”It's indeed too quiet, there shouldn't be any Demonic King, right?” Bai Yi retreated a little, and the few of them placed their backs against each other, vigilantly looking around them.

At this moment, the vines coiled around the tree trunk suddenly moved like snakes, rolling towards the four of them.

”Not good,” Di Chen was the first to react, he immediately took out a piece of paper with the word ”Set” written on it, and threw it out.
