Chapter 137 Fear

While Kuang Zheng escaped danger without even realizing it, Ying Yue and Wu Ren were unfortunately surrounded.

That day, Ling Qi appeared suddenly like a ghost and severely injured Kuang Zheng with a single blow.

What was supposed to be a sure thing turned out to be unexpectedly devoid of logic, as Kuang Zheng acted in a completely different way.

Seeing that things were going badly, he immediately warned his companions to flee.

Wu Ren and Ying Yue made a decisive choice to split up and break through in order to find a glimmer of hope.

This time, Lady Luck smiled upon Ying Yue and Wu Ren. Ling Qi abandoned them and pounced straight towards Kuang Zheng, who was the last to escape.

The Wentian Beasts knew how powerful the three humans were, so they didn't dare to pursue them too closely when there was no strong leader.

The armored eagle no longer posed any threat to the two, so without the Sky-Listening Beast's pursuit, they quickly escaped.

It's all thanks to the "Transformation Pill" that a person's aura can be completely altered over a period of time.

Without the target's aura, the Wentian Beast was like a blind man with his eyes covered, completely losing its ability to track. This allowed Ying Yue and her companions to shake off their pursuers in the shortest possible time.

Once she was certain that there were no more pursuers behind her, Ying Yue felt a little more at ease and immediately stopped without hesitation.

She looked up at the sky warily, carefully searching for any sign of the armored eagle.

After confirming that the airspace was temporarily safe, Ying Yue took out another teleportation pill. Although the previous one was still far from losing its effect, she, being cautious as always, decided to add another layer of insurance.

As the medicinal effects slowly spread throughout her body, Ying Yue's aura became completely different from her original one.

In this way, even if those extremely sensitive beasts with a keen sense of smell were standing right in front of them, they would not be able to detect that the person in front of them was their target.

Ying Yue dared not delay any longer, and with her feet moving like the wind and arrow, she sped off in the direction Wu Ren had fled.

His swift movements were like a lightning bolt slicing through the sky, leaving only the sound of a whistling wind in his wake.

After running for nearly half an hour, they finally discovered the mark left by Wu Ren.

Having obtained a clue, she did not pursue it with all her might. Ying Yue knew that the closer she got to her goal, the more vigilant she had to be.

Because what you discover may have already been taken by the enemy.

If you rush in at this moment, you might just walk right into their trap.

So she continued at her original pace, closely following the clues along the way.

Time ticked by, and after nearly fifteen minutes of searching, Ying Yue finally spotted Wu Ren deep within a dense forest...

The two exchanged a silent code, and after confirming that there were no problems in their surroundings, they finally met up.

Without time for pleasantries, they hurriedly headed in the direction Kuang Zheng had fled.

At this moment, Ying Yue was filled with worry. Ling Qi, who was at the fifth level (equivalent to the Golden Core stage), was definitely not someone they could contend with at their current level. Even Kuang Zheng, who had the strongest combat power, had no chance.

It was already a stroke of luck that she managed to escape from their clutches. That's why Ying Yue was filled with worry after learning that the spiritual energy had its eye on Kuang Zheng.

She desperately wanted to fly to his side immediately, but the scenery around her was rushing past, and she could only barely see a row of blurry figures.

The two had already reached their maximum speed, but Ying Yue was still not satisfied.

Wu Ren was well aware of Ying Yue's worries, so even though the two of them had reached their limit, Wu Ren still did not say anything to remind her.

At this moment, silent companionship is more valuable than all wisdom and reason.

The Golden Elixir is called "Transcending Mortal Realm" precisely because of its uniqueness.

When cultivators reach this level, it means they have reached the pinnacle that a "mortal body" can achieve!

At this moment, both the amount of spiritual energy that the body can hold and the toughness and strength of the physical body have reached their peak.

It can be said that this realm is the culmination of the first five realms of the twelve realms of cultivation, just like the Grandmaster realm of ancient martial arts cultivators, which has reached the limit of martial arts.

The Golden Core stage is like comparing clouds and mud compared to the previous realms; the difference is immeasurable.

It should be understood that once one successfully enters the Golden Core stage, theoretically, even if surrounded by ten cultivators at the Heartbeat stage, they cannot be harmed in the slightest.

The power at this level is more than ten times that of the Heartbeat Stage, at least twenty times greater.

This has already broken the common sense that the power difference between each realm is tenfold.

Although the difference between the fourth and fifth levels of a savage beast is not as significant as the difference between the Heartbeat Stage and the Golden Core Stage in humans, it is an undeniable fact that a fifth-level savage beast possesses terrifying power similar to that of a human at the Golden Core Stage.

Although the first to twelfth levels of the Savage Beast realm do not have the insurmountable barriers of "Golden Core" and "Nascent Soul" like humans, the power of each realm is roughly equivalent.

For example, Level 1 corresponds to the Foundation Establishment stage for humans, Level 3 corresponds to the Fusion stage, and so on.

Despite possessing extraordinary talent and inheriting astonishing divine arts, Kuang Zheng currently only has the cultivation level of the initial stage of the Heartbeat Realm.

At this moment, facing the powerful fifth-level beast spirit Ling Qi, whose strength was comparable to the early stage of the Golden Core realm, he had no power to fight back at all, and even escaping from the opponent's clutches was an impossible dream.

This is why Ying Yue's heart was filled with endless worries and anxieties.

The two sped along the direction Kuang Zheng had fled, and time flew by as they searched. A full hour passed in the blink of an eye, but they still couldn't find even the slightest trace of Kuang Zheng.

Time ticked by, and the two anxiously searched and traversed the vast mountain forest.

They stared intently, not daring to miss a single corner, afraid of missing any detail, but each time ended in disappointment.

Early on, the three had made an agreement: in case of emergency, each of them would escape, and after escaping danger, they would leave a mark an hour later so that their companions could find them.

These markings are their unique secrets from their time in Dragon Flame. Outsiders don't understand their meaning and can't imitate them. The three of them agreed on an upgraded version of these markings.

Therefore, even the rest of the Dragon Flame Brigade could not decipher these markings. Only the three of them knew the secrets behind them, and only in this way could they prevent the enemy from discovering, exploiting, or destroying them.

Two hours have passed, and the surroundings remain quiet, without even a trace of a marker.

Their mood grew increasingly heavy, as if they had fallen into an abyss.

The once expectant look in their eyes gradually dimmed, replaced by deep worry and fear.

They couldn't help but start thinking the worst: What had happened to Kuang Zheng? Had he been captured by the enemy? Or, even worse, had he already met a brutal end...?

The thought filled the two of them with an indescribable sense of panic.

Kuang Zheng has always been the core figure in their team, acting as a pillar of strength to stabilize morale and guide the direction.

In the face of countless hardships and dangers in the past, as long as Kuang Zheng was there, no one would panic, because he could always lead everyone to turn misfortune into good fortune and danger into safety.

The mere thought that such a pillar of support might disappear, even if it was just a possibility, filled them with unbearable fear.

With such complex and heavy feelings, the two silently continued to explore and move forward.

No one dared to speak easily along the way, for fear of hearing the devastating news from the other.

They walked quietly, their footsteps so light they dared not make a sound.

At that moment, the whole world seemed to consist only of their heavy breathing and the rustling of leaves in the wind...
