"Don't be nervous, everyone; we don't know what kind of Devil Clan creature is ahead, but with our numbers and strength, we can definitely defeat it."
An elder, seeing the surrounding Martial Artists feeling their skin crawl at the thought of the creature, quickly tried to calm everyone's emotions.
But those Martial Artists were not encouraged by the elder's attempts to reassure them.
They were very clear in their minds that the Red Monkey that had previously vanished before them completely overturned their understanding of the Devil Clan.
Neither of the two Blood Killing Sect Elders within the group managed to locate the Red Monkey, and they could imagine just how strong that Red Monkey must be.
"Thankfully, the Red Monkey did not launch an attack on us just now."
The group felt relieved for a moment, imagining the number of casualties that could have occurred had the Red Monkey actually attacked them.
As the team continued to move forward, they did not encounter the Red Monkey again; it was as if it had disappeared.
If the Red Monkey really were gone, then all the Martial Artists present would be overjoyed.
This would certainly be a cause for great celebration for them.
But the deeper they went, the more fear Duan Gujin felt, a bad premonition flashing through his mind.
He quickly sent a psychic message to Tie Yi, wanting to know if she felt afraid.
Tie Yi told him that she had indeed felt fear.
Duan Gujin quickly corrected her, asking if she was feeling afraid now if she currently had a bad premonition.
Tie Yi shook her head slightly and replied, "No!"
Duan Gujin knew Tie Yi had no reason to lie to him, and he didn't understand why the ominous feeling in his heart was growing stronger.
"What's going on? Why do I feel so frightened?"
Duan Gujin took a deep breath; he couldn't clearly articulate why he felt such a strong sense of unease.
After the previous disturbance with the Red Monkey, everyone was completely drained.
Just as everyone thought they might have evaded the calamity of the Red Monkey, suddenly, a blood-curdling scream exploded behind them.
They turned around quickly, only to see two Martial Artists beginning to sprout red hairs at a visibly rapid rate.
Seeing this, Duan Gujin's heart began to pound violently.
He knew that the two Martial Artists had transformed because the Red Fierce Monkey, Zhao Wuji's pet, had drained their blood.
Once a Martial Artist's blood was completely sucked by the Red Fierce Monkey, they would transform to resemble the Red Fierce Monkey.
By this time, the Martial Artists who had their blood drained by the Red Fierce Monkey were already dead.
"The Ultimate Demon Emperor Zhao Wuji's Red Fierce Monkey is really here!"
Duan Gujin took another quick breath as a question raced through his mind.
"What happened to the Ultimate Demon Emperor Zhao Wuji now? Is he dead or still alive?"
"Since his pet Red Monkey is here, logically, the Ultimate Demon Emperor should be together with the Red Fierce Monkey. Could it be that Zhao Wuji is right here?"
Thinking of this possibility, Duan Gujin broke out in a cold sweat.
The Red Fierce Monkey was a powerful and formidable beast – an Alien Beast among the Devil Clan – far stronger than ordinary Devil Clan creatures.
After gaining strength, this Fierce Beast would even disregard Demon Emperors of the Devil Clan.
Duan Gujin clearly remembered that in his past life, Zhao Wuji and the Red Fierce Monkey had been inseparable.
"Could it be that Zhao Wuji, who was attacked by beings from the Divine World, is actually hiding here?"
Considering this, Duan Gujin suddenly felt his skin crawl.
The nerves of everyone present were on high alert, fearing a sneak attack from the Red Fierce Monkey.
Duan Gujin was also extremely nervous, fearing that Zhao Wuji might be nearby.
"I never thought I would encounter the Ultimate Demon Emperor Zhao Wuji so soon! I really don't want to face him at this time!"
Duan Gujin's heart began to race; he knew that with Zhao Wuji's abilities, the other party could completely do things beyond his imagination.
Zhao Wuji possessed the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, and he himself also had the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, so he knew just how terrifying the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul could be.
The more Duan Gujin knew, the greater the fear grew in his heart.
The crowd immediately gathered together, forming a circular encirclement.
Upon seeing the Red Fierce Monkey appear in front of them, they immediately launched their strongest combat moves at it together.
With a booming explosion, the crowd saw their various skills land where the Red Fierce Monkey had been standing, only to find it had vanished without a trace.
Seeing the Red Fierce Monkey disappear again, the anxious hearts of the people finally settled down.
Time slowly passed, and after 15 minutes, they did not find the Red Fierce Monkey appearing nearby.
Seeing the Red Fierce Monkey did not appear, the elder of the Blood Killing Sect instructed everyone to move forward immediately.
They did not dare to linger here, for fear that the Red Fierce Monkey had been waiting for them all along.
They knew that for most Demon Clans, the moment you enter their territory, they would attack the intruders at all costs.
They knew that once they entered the territory of a certain Demon Clan, they could not stay in the same place for too long.
If they lingered in the same place for too long, it meant they would inevitably be attacked by the occupants of the territory.
Because such behavior would be seen as an invasion and provocation by the occupiers within that Demon Clan's territory.
The team moved quickly forward, not wanting to be marked by the Red Fierce Monkey.
Fifteen minutes later, they had advanced about a kilometer and still had not seen the Red Fierce Monkey.
After crossing several mountains, they came to an open space where they discovered many plants still full of life around the clearing.
Seeing these plants still full of life astonished Duan Gujin and the others.
They thought they had walked out of the foggy area.
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense and, after a while, he realized that the fog in their current area had become even denser.
This meant that they were still in that area shrouded in thick fog, where all vegetation had been deprived of life.
But the vegetation they were looking at still possessed life, which completely overturned their previous judgments.
"How can this be? Logically speaking, this place should be like everywhere else, with all the vegetation turned to ashes."
Duan Gujin's Divine Sense delved into the ground beneath his feet, and after a moment, he discovered that there was an ore vein teeming with life energy.
This vein was releasing a very strong Life Aura, which shocked him greatly.
This anomaly was also noticed by the Sect Elders of Blood Killing Sect; they too found the sudden appearance of lively plants in the vicinity highly unusual.
Therefore, they ordered everyone to wander around nearby, to see if they could find any clues.
After searching for a while, they eventually discovered a continuous ore deposit spanning several kilometers on an open area ahead, with various green stones peeking out from beneath the pile of ore.
The plants near the ore pile were all lively and full of life.
"It seems that the life remaining in these plants is related to these ores!"
Although many of the Martial Artists present did not have high Cultivation, some had knowledge and quickly recognized the sprawling ore piles beneath their feet as ore veins.
"Ah, there are so many Wood Attribute Energy Barytes here!"
"Yes! There are so many Wood Attribute Energy Barytes!"
Many of the Martial Artists on the scene exclaimed, eyes suddenly gleaming.
In Jiuzhou Continent, Wood Attribute Energy Barytes could be used to forge Dark Weapons that help Martial Artists recover their Life Force.
Therefore, such Wood Attribute Energy Barytes were considered very precious.
Hence, the same thought crossed the minds of the Martial Artists present; they all wanted to take away all the Wood Attribute Energy Barytes below.
They could imagine, if they could really sell off all those Wood Attribute Energy Barytes, they would make a huge fortune.
But shortly after, the Martial Artists all abandoned their ideas, knowing that those Wood Attribute Energy Barytes would definitely be claimed by the people from the Blood Killing Sect.
If they revealed any malintent now, they might be executed on the spot by the people from the Blood Killing Sect.
The Martial Artists present were all aware that the Blood Killing Sect on Jiuzhou Continent was a sect with both righteous and evil tendencies, often acting boldly and recklessly.
And the Sect Elders of the Blood Killing Sect were very pleased; seeing the Wood Attribute Energy Barytes ahead, they felt that those barytes were already in the bag.
