Chapter 241 Demon-Toothed Bat
The group traveled for another two days before finally stepping into the border between the two worlds.
These past two days have been spent either traveling or on the road, coupled with the unpredictable weather.
Many disciples who could fly on swords were fine, but those who couldn't were already exhausted.
This place is deserted and devoid of any sign of life.
As the red sun swirled in the sky, some disciples sensed an unusual aura.
Bats suddenly flew by, baring their teeth and hissing, and attacked the people who had suddenly appeared.
Everyone immediately used their spirit swords to cleave the bats in two.
"These are Demon-toothed Bats, low-level demons. They are afraid of spiritual energy, so be careful not to get bitten."
If someone gets bitten, they can take an antidote pill, or seek help from a senior disciple on Spirit Plant Peak to purify the demonic energy.
The three senior uncles flew down on their swords.
The disciples on the hundred-foot cliff began to use their spiritual energy to fight back.
Chu Ziming took out his spirit sword and kept swatting away the bats that were flying towards him.
Yun Ci also unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, the green energy striking the charging bat.
The bat suddenly let out a shrill scream, a puff of black smoke rose from its body, and then it fell to the ground.
Uncle Mingye was taken aback when he saw this, then praised with barely suppressed excitement, "As expected of a top-grade wood spirit root."
The martial arts master Wu Zhang beside him nodded, "A top-grade wood spirit root, also known as the life spirit root, is a natural nemesis of demonic energy."
Everyone kept unleashing their spiritual power to fight the Demon-Toothed Bats.
These lower-level bats were perhaps frightened, and gradually stopped rushing forward.
It circled in the sky for a while and then flew away.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after watching the lowly bats fly away.
"Hmph, coward, come on, I'll kill you one by one."
A male cultivator, holding a spirit sword and dressed in the robes of an inner disciple of the Weapon Refining Peak, said with a face full of dissatisfaction.
The disciples from the Weapon Forging Peak next to them loudly echoed,
“Exactly! Didn’t Senior Brother Li say these bats were very powerful? I think they’re nothing special.”
Many disciples, though not seeing demons for the first time, were fighting demons for the first time.
Compared to demons, monsters generally only appear in the demon realm.
After everyone drove away the Demon-Toothed Bats, the enthusiasm of these disciples who had just broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining was immediately boosted.
"These are all low-level demons. We still need to be extra careful and not let our guard down. This is the border of the demon realm. Who knows what might appear at any moment?"
A female cultivator from the Refining Peak spoke from the side, her sword gleaming with a sword light.
"Senior Sister Zhang is right, we still need to be careful."
Yun Ci nodded, "Yes, I noticed that these bats all flew out from below. There will only be more down there, so everyone be careful."
The place is unusual because spiritual and demonic energy are intertwined.
Not to mention the pitch-black, sheer cliff in front of them.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Yun Ci felt a chilling aura.
This aura inexplicably made him feel uneasy.
It was truly filled with an atmosphere of decay and death.
“Junior Brother Yun is right. The boundary between the two realms is just below. We cannot be careless.”
Ye Qingqing said in a clear and melodious voice.
Su Wanqing nodded, reminding everyone, "The dangers down below will only increase."
The people around immediately became serious again.
"Not bad, these disciples adjusted their mindset quickly and didn't get carried away with their success," Master Lingyuan nodded and said.
The two senior disciples beside him nodded.
"The disciples who came for training this year all seem to have good talent."
"This is nothing; the real challenges are yet to come..."
*
The menial disciples' side.
All the servant disciples wore expressions of fear.
They didn't understand why they were the ones chosen.
Although they are protected by their senior uncles from the sect, how can they possibly protect so many disciples?
I heard that those demons know that the servant disciples are easy to bully, so they deliberately kill them.
Some of the timid servants had already shown their fear on their faces.
in the crowd.
Only Kuroko and the people around him were out of place.
The black, tousled hair obscured Kuroko's eyebrows and eyes, thus concealing the red light and excitement in his eyes.
Now, every pore of Heizi is frantically absorbing demonic energy.
The voice in my head is laughing wildly and without restraint.
"Hahahaha, kill them all, kill them all!"
*
The sheer cliff was like a bottomless abyss that could swallow people whole, and everyone cautiously peered down.
Everyone is some distance from the cliff.
"If you fall like that, you'll be turned into mincemeat," Chu Ziming said, shaking his head.
"Forget about minced meat, even bone fragments will be crushed," Yun Ci said.
The person next to him, "..."
The three Nascent Soul stage senior uncles formed a triangle, enclosing more than 400 disciples inside a transparent shield.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Ci found that the scenery around her had changed.
There are overgrown weeds all around.
Yun Ci saw that the grass on the ground was all black, and there were also brightly colored flowers blooming on the ground.
The moment they appeared, the demon-toothed bats clinging to the cliff face were instantly startled.
"careful!"
They stood back to back, preparing to strike the flying demon-toothed bats.
But before the bats could even attack, they seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying and instantly turned and flew away.
Everyone felt the pressure from the powerful figure and turned to see that it was their three senior uncles.
Everyone felt much more at ease.
The group walked forward for a while longer.
Yun Ci sensed that the area below was still a mixture of spiritual and demonic energy, but the demonic energy was significantly more abundant than that above.
Different concentrations
Yun Ci stopped absorbing spiritual energy.
The flowers, plants, and trees along the roadside are mostly black, or extremely brightly colored.
None of these are normal.
The group arrived at an open space. Looking up, the red sun in the sky looked like a red eye watching down below.
The team split into three groups again.
The three senior uncles took out a magical artifact, and in an instant, three palaces as large as mountains were placed side by side on this open space.
"Everyone is tired, let's rest for tonight. Guan Huan, choose the disciples to keep watch, the rest is up to you."
Uncle-Master Mingye looked at a Golden Core stage disciple and said.
Guan Huan is the strongest disciple in Mingye's sect, and is the leader of the Golden Core stage disciples.
Guan Huan clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed respectfully, "Yes!"
This trip to the border between the two realms is not just for the disciples in the sect who have broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining to gain experience.
It also allows these Golden Core stage disciples to gain experience.
Protecting junior disciples while protecting themselves, and slaying demons and monsters, is the responsibility of Golden Core stage disciples.
The three senior uncles mostly dealt with thorny issues and rarely showed up in person.
The three senior uncles had already disappeared from the spot.
Over here, the Golden Core stage disciples began organizing the remaining disciples into rooms, taking turns keeping watch at night and patrolling.
*
Inside a room in the palace.
The three senior uncles sat on cushions, with braised pork, stewed chicken legs, stir-fried clams, and braised pig's head meat laid out on the small table in the middle.
There were also several jugs of wine nearby.
Several huge paintings hung around the room, depicting the young disciples outside at this moment.
The three senior uncles took a bite of meat, a sip of wine, and looked at the scene before them.
We chat every now and then.
