“Have you found it?” Mo Wen looked at Yin Banshuang.

Yin Banshuang’s lips curled up. She did not speak. Her figure shimmered. She seemed to have found a reference point and now knew the direction to head in. She flew toward a spot without any fuss.

Mo Wen followed behind her in surprise. It seemed that she had indeed found the mysterious place.

The wild winds howled. After a short while, Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang arrived at the entrance to a small cave. The cave was not large and was well hidden. It was very inconspicuous.

“There is a Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise in the cave. It is a later stage seventh rank monstrous beast,” Yin Banshuang said gravely. The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise was an interesting beast. It had the ability to control water. A peak seventh rank monstrous beast would barely be able to fight against it. It was an indomitable and powerful monstrous beast.

She would definitely be unwilling to annoy the ferocious beast if she had not had to pass through the cave and if the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise had not been hibernating in it.

However, she had made sufficient preparations before coming here.

Yin Banshuang took out a small blue jade bottle from her sleeves. She opened the bottle and poured a white liquid onto the ground. Then, she flew up and onto a protruding cliff far away before tossing the small blue jade bottle into the grass.

“Hide.” After she had done all that, Yin Banshuang immediately gave Mo Wen a look and hurried to hide behind a massive rock

Mo Wen immediately imitated her. He hid behind an inconspicuous spot and consciously moved far away from the white liquid.

Even though he did not know what the white liquid Yin Banshuang had poured out was, the fragrance of the liquid assaulted a person. It smelt fresh and jolted his consciousness. It was obviously not an ordinary liquid.

He could naturally see, with his ability, that many types of expensive spiritual medicine had been stewed to make the spiritual liquid in the jade bottle. It might be a small bottle, but a large amount of spiritual medicine had gone into the making of that white liquid.

Soon after, there was a sudden loud sound inside the cave. The mountains around them shook and the earth rumbled endlessly. Then, the cliffs around the little cave cracked and large pieces of rocks fell to the ground from above. Smoke and dust wafted in the air.

Rumble! The entrance of the cave grew bigger and bigger. The little cave entrance had long since disappeared without a trace. A large object appeared in the dust and smoke, walking out slowly from an underground tunnel.

It was no taller than thirty feet but was a hundred feet wide. It was a massive tortoise monstrous beast.

The radius of the monstrous beast’s tortoiseshell was several hundred feet and it was littered with fragments of rock. Some of the rocks had green algae on them, making it look like a stone forest.

The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise was enormous!

After the tortoise appeared, it stared at the ground, its large eyes glowing with green light. It was looking at where Yin Banshuang had poured the liquid earlier.

Growl! The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise lifted its head and growled. Then, it stuck out its tongue that was dozens of meters long. Its tongue curled and a layer of the ground where the white liquid had been poured was scraped off.

The tortoise retracted its tongue and slowly closed its eyes. Its facial expression was relaxed as if it was enjoying itself very much. It was as if it had eaten the most delicious delicacy on earth.

Moments later, the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise opened its eyes. Its jade green eyes stared out into the distance unblinkingly. It looked towards the place in the distance where Yin Banshuang had tossed the bottle. All the liquid in the bottle had already been poured out.

Roar! The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise roared and then strode with its muscular short legs. It dragged its massive body toward the cliff. The ground shook thrice with each step.

In terms of size, the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise was no smaller than the Great Earth Black Bear. The great aura it was emitting showed that it was not much weaker than the bear even though it was only had a later stage seventh rank cultivation.

Mo Wen pursed his lips and looked at the massive Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise. He sighed to himself and thought that the monstrous beast in the lair was ridiculously strong. If it continued to grow stronger and succeeded in cultivating, it was very possible that it might become a demon.

They mustn’t be careless on this journey underground.

Yin Banshuang looked at the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise that was walking away step by step. A trace of joy could be seen in her eyes. She had already planned this trick to lure the beast away from its lair. It had indeed proved its use.

However, the tortoise suddenly stopped after walking several hundred feet away. It turned to look at the underground tunnel somewhat hesitantly. Its eyes were hesitant as if there was something it was worried about in the underground tunnel.

Yin Banshuang frowned and grew secretly worried. If they could not trick the tortoise into leaving, entering the tunnel would be more difficult than ascending to heaven.

It had been pure luck that she had entered the underground tunnel last time. Back then, she had accidentally entered the deep ends of the abyss and was pursued by a powerful monstrous beast. She had come to this place as she fled.

Back then, the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise was fighting with a scary monstrous beast and the whole scene was shocking. It had prevented the beast from pursuing her.

She had entered the underground tunnel by luck as another beast had the attention of the tortoise but she could not replicate the same scenario again. She had paid a large price to attempt to once more enter the underground tunnel. She had refined a medicinal liquid that all tortoises liked. If they failed to lure the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise away, then this trip would be a waste.

Roar! The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise suddenly raised its head. A pillar of water thicker than a bucket shot out from its wide mouth, flooding into the underground tunnel.

The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortise seemed to have a river hidden in its stomach. The pillar of water spouted out unceasingly for five whole minutes. The underground tunnel was flooded by the water that had spouted from its mouth.

After sealing the entrance of the cave with water, the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise obviously had peace of mind. It turned around and dragged its enormous body toward the cliff in the distance.

Yin Banshuang watched as the tortoise gradually moved away and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, almost immediately, she frowned and flew toward the underground tunnel.

“Xuan Ming Frozen Water.” Yin Banshuang stood at the entrance of the cave where the underground tunnel was. The underground tunnel was flooded with water. Had it been regular water, it would have already flowed out by now. But Xuan Ming Frozen Water was different. The water could stay at the cave entrance and seal the area where the underground tunnel was. Those who want to enter the underground tunnel had to cross the hurdle that was this patch of Xuan Ming Frozen Water.

It would have been fine if it was ordinary water. But Xuan Ming Frozen Water was different. The water was extremely cold and if one was submerged in it, even practitioners of the Golden Elixir realm would find it unbearably cold. And in the already freezingly cold fifth level, the power of Xuan Ming Frozen Water was doubtlessly even more startling.

“Go down. There’s no other choice at this time.” Mo Wen appeared in front of the underground tunnel. He gave it a cursory glance and immediately knew what was happening. Even though Xuan Ming Frozen Water was difficult to handle, they could not retreat anymore at this point in time.

An ordinary practitioner in the Golden Elixir realm might not be able to barge through the Xuan Ming Frozen Water area. But it should not be too big of an issue with Yin Banshuang’s skills. At most, she would just have to endure a little hardship at most.
