Chapter 168: Dragon Head! Ambush!

Chapter 168: Dragon Head! Ambush!

"Boom! Crack!"

In the silent mountain forest shrouded in crimson mist, intense explosions reverberated.

Suddenly, a ten-foot-tall ferocious beast shot out from the dense forest like a cannonball, its organs shattered, and it fell into a pool of blood.

"Are these ferocious beasts this strong?"

Su Changqing, who had been rushing along the way and was quite disheveled, wiped the sweat from his forehead as he looked at the fallen Second Tier Beast.

Along the way, not only was the mountain path rugged, but ferocious beasts kept appearing one after another, and they were getting stronger and stronger.

From the initial First Rank Beasts, to the peak of the First Rank, and now the ubiquitous Second Tier Beasts.

It wasn't that he couldn't move an inch, but his speed had greatly decreased.

"It's been a whole day, and I still haven't seen the Celestial Demon Pool. I haven't even encountered a single demon from the Demon Race."

Su Changqing looked around, but he couldn't even tell the directions.

There was only the ubiquitous crimson mist and the occasional roars of ferocious beasts.

"Could it be that the demons know a shortcut?"

A look of confusion flashed across Su Changqing's face as he sensed that something was amiss.

But in this place, there were no villages or shops nearby, and he couldn't even tell the directions, let alone find someone to ask for directions.

Helpless, after pondering for a while, he could only move forward again.

However, as he kept moving forward, Su Changqing's eyelids began to twitch more violently.

"Roar~"

A faint roar from a ferocious beast came from the side, and Su Changqing stepped over the thick mist to take a look, only to be stunned by what he saw.

He slowly raised his head, and in front of him was a giant beast, tens of feet tall, like a mountain peak.

The giant beast was in a deep slumber, but the aura emanating from its body made Su Changqing's heart tremble.

"Where have I run to?" Su Changqing's scalp went numb, and without hesitation, he turned around and left.

At the same time, he activated the Heaven-Shielding Formation to envelop his entire body, concealing his aura.

With the protection of the Heaven-Shielding Formation, Su Changqing's speed increased significantly, and he didn't disturb a single ferocious beast.

But as Su Changqing continued to walk, he felt something was amiss.

The ferocious beasts with powerful auras were getting more and more numerous, and each one was larger than the last.

Su Changqing weaved through this ancient-like forest, feeling as small as an ant.

After walking for an unknown distance, Su Changqing slowly stopped and looked ahead in awe.

It seemed they had reached the deepest part of the Dragonbone Mountains.

In front of him, there was an enormous and terrifying skull, emitting a boundless demonic aura as it stood silently.

The skull was nothing but a forest of white bones, huge and unmatched, with deep and profound eye sockets like two bottomless dark abysses.

Its lower jaw was made of thick and heavy white bones, and the jagged teeth were arranged in a menacing manner, each one resembling a towering mountain.

Beside this awe-inspiring and colossal skull, countless gigantic beasts were perched, emitting a terrifying aura that warped even the void.

Su Changqing stared at the ancient giant skull, pursed his dry lips, and muttered,

"Dragon Head!"

...

On the other side.

As time passed, the demons and humans drew closer to the Celestial Demon Pool, and naturally, they encountered each other.

"Kill!"

Upon seeing the demons ahead, Wu Yong smiled and took a big step forward.

Endless array patterns surrounded him, and the terrifying intent to slaughter soared into the clouds.

The three to five demons in front didn't even have a chance to fight back before they were crushed and killed by the divine patterns.

But strangely, the demons nearby who witnessed this didn't have any intention of coming forward to help.

They smirked coldly, gave Wu Yong a meaningful glance, and then retreated into the thick mist.

"They're quite cautious."

Wu Yong didn't suspect anything, glanced at the guiding talisman in his hand, and continued to move forward quickly,

"I'm not running slow either, why haven't I seen any other sect members or Elder Changqing?"

Wu Yong muttered in confusion, and his steps quickened.

However, he didn't notice that the guiding talisman in his hand had subtly changed.

In the distance, at a certain distance from the Celestial Demon Pool.

Yu Lin's hands glowed with array seals, and a strange array plate in his hand kept changing.

He stared at the center of the mist, and a cold smile appeared on his face,

"The clan members should have gathered by now, it's time to make our move."

"These past few days, Dark Scales hasn't been in a hurry to go to the Celestial Demon Pool. Instead, he has been using the Mother-Son Linked Formation to gather the Demon Race members together."

He divided the four hundred demons into ten groups, with forty in each group.

The guiding talismans of these teams all pointed in different directions.

And at the end of each direction, there was a Human Race member who had been led there in advance.

The Human Race members sent this time were all very strong. While they might not individually match the Noble Descendant, they were still much stronger than the average demon.

But even with their strength, could they possibly overcome the combined might of forty demons? The thought made Dark Scales' smile grow even wider.

He strolled leisurely towards the Celestial Demon Pool, his cold, faint laughter echoing through the thick mist.

"Hey, Human Race. I'll be waiting for you at the Celestial Demon Pool."

...

"Kill!"

"Despicable! You demons are cheating!"

In a dense forest, Mo Xiong was covered in blood, staring at the dozens of demons surrounding him, and shouted angrily.

"Hehe, despicable?"

An Elder Lingxi sneered, "You humans have a saying, 'Deception is unabashed.'"

"It's your fault for coming to our Demon Realm. Who should we blame?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly and mocked, "Be careful, just break their limbs, don't kill him."

"We still need him to lure Su Changqing into our trap."

Upon hearing this, the dozens of demons burst into sinister laughter and rushed forward.

"Kill!"

Mo Xiong knew there was no escape, so he shouted in rage and charged towards the dozens of demons.

...

Mo Xiong's experience was not an isolated case.

At this moment, the Human Race disciples were also encountering groups of demons chasing and blocking their paths.

Angry shouts and shrill screams continuously echoed from various dense forests.

However, there were two exceptions among them.

"Die!"

Miao Feng was surrounded by a boundless blazing flame, her body covered in wounds of various sizes, and bloodstains as she charged out of the demon pack.

"You shameless bunch!"

Miao Feng's eyebrows furrowed, and she glared at the demons ahead, shouting angrily, "Wait and see, once I get out, the Little Immortal Sect will definitely settle the score with you!"

After speaking, Miao Feng turned and fled into the thick mist.

She was very strong, and the blazing flame allowed her to escape from the siege of forty demons.

But this was already her limit. She could save herself, but rescuing her fellow disciples was beyond her capabilities.

However, just as Miao Feng had entered the thick fog, she hadn't run far before she encountered Wu Yong, who was also covered in bloodstains.

"You managed to escape too?"

Miao Feng was surprised and raised her eyebrows, not expecting Wu Yong to be so strong.

"I killed over a dozen, but I can't fight anymore."

Wu Yong panted heavily, his face filled with anger, "These damn demons, they're playing dirty tricks!"

"Let's find Senior Brother Changqing. With his strength, he must have escaped."

"Then we'll discuss how to save the others."

Wu Yong's idea aligned perfectly with Miao Feng's thoughts.

Among the disciples who came this time, Su Changqing was the strongest.

Although he couldn't defeat the four hundred demons, having him would increase the chances of rescuing others.

Without further words, the two gritted their teeth and ventured into the thick fog, searching for Su Changqing's whereabouts nearby.

At the same time, after two days, the first person finally arrived at the Celestial Demon Pool.

It was the Little Phoenix King.

Along the way, he had pushed through with ease, encountering some ferocious beasts that caused him some trouble but didn't significantly impact his journey.

He was confident that with his speed, he would be the first to reach the Celestial Demon Pool.

He didn't plan to enter immediately but instead chose to wait at the Celestial Demon Pool for Su Changqing's arrival.

However, this plan changed upon reaching the Celestial Demon Pool.

Because someone was already inside the pool.

"Who are you!"

The Little Phoenix King's sharp golden eyes stared ahead as he shouted.

At that moment, the boy in the pool, dressed in a Daoist robe, turned his head and said indifferently,

"This Daoist is Xuan Qingzi."
