Chapter 345: Mortals, Don't Get Involved

These earth spirit crocodiles can be considered spirits among demonic beasts, that is, "spiritual demonic beasts".

They had developed intelligence, though not much, but they still possessed some. They didn't rely solely on instinct, so when they saw Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao, their gaping maws practically stretched to the sky.

mortal!

There's also one at the Nascent Soul stage!

Isn't this just delivering food to the brothers?

They were extremely excited and bared their sharp fangs.

Several earth spirit crocodiles exchanged glances, then excitedly pounced!

For a few Nascent Soul stage demon spirits like them, devouring a mortal and a Nascent Soul stage human girl would be a piece of cake.

Neither the mortal nor the girl showed any expression; they were probably stunned. Such fresh ingredients were right there; how could they not eat them?

Qin Yiyao stood silently behind Gu Heng.

Ha, a few demon spirits that have just begun to develop intelligence have already taken her and her master as prey.

Just looking for death.

She glanced at the charging crocodiles, a cold smile playing on her lips. She didn't need to lift a finger; this was an unexpected turn of events. Her master could easily kill these demonic spirits with a wave of his hand.

As for Gu Heng...

He wasn't afraid at all.

These are just a few crocodiles that are a little bigger than average.

Although Gu Heng seemed to hear one of them speak human language just now, he felt that he must have misheard. How could such a beast have the ability to speak human language?

Gu Heng was worried about encountering monsters. If he did, he wouldn't be able to deal with them with his limited martial arts skills and would have to use a "temporary experience ticket," but that would be too wasteful!

But these are definitely not monsters.

Although he didn't know the difference between ordinary wild beasts and demonic beasts, he was willing to trust his sixth sense.

If these crocodiles can't scare him...

Then it's not a monster!

So Gu Heng got into position, and at the same time prepared to take some handy weapons from his system inventory to give these crocodile brothers a painless "relief"!

But right now.

Suddenly a strong wind blew in.

Then Gu Heng saw a woman descend from the sky, wielding a long sword. With a few flashes of sword light, she cleaved the crocodiles into pieces.

He sheathed his sword in one swift motion and stood gracefully before him.

Gu Heng blinked.

This person must be a cultivator!

"Thank you, heroine."

Gu Heng was a little confused, but since the other party had killed these crocodiles so easily without getting a drop of blood on them, he couldn't be impolite.

The woman possessed an aloof yet sharp arrogance. After hearing Gu Heng's thanks, she nodded slightly and said softly, "It was nothing."

"Strange, where... did you come from?"

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly.

“This girl and I both came from the Sunflare Capital. We heard there was an ancient secret palace here, so we wanted to come and see it. We just saw the spire of the palace, and it’s quite beautiful.”

Gu Heng also stated directly what he was there to do.

Since sincerity is very important, especially since this woman is probably a very powerful cultivator and has no ill intentions, there is no need for her to lie.

Moreover.

I'm just here to take a look at this ancient secret palace; I haven't done anything wrong.

"You...are you a mortal?"

"Yes, judging from your performance just now, you must be a very powerful cultivator."

Gu Heng subtly flattered the other party.

Although it's not very useful.

I reckon plenty of people would be willing to praise this kind of female cultivator who is good-looking and agile with a sword.

The woman glanced at Gu Heng, then at Qin Yiyao behind him, who looked like a little girl nestled in her older brother's arms, and was a little confused.

Why would a Nascent Soul cultivator hide behind a mortal?

Moreover, ordinary people coming to this kind of place...

Too dangerous.

"You two should leave now. Things in these mountains are not something you two can get involved in."

The woman originally thought...

This man was some kind of reclusive master she couldn't fathom. After all, the two of them looked more like a master and apprentice, but the little girl was also at the Nascent Soul stage. Such a young Nascent Soul cultivator was probably a rare sight in the Sun Flame Dynasty.

Therefore, her master could not be an ordinary person.

However, she didn't care what their relationship was.

This place is not suitable for mortals. Fortunately, she also has the cultivation of the sixth level of the Integration Stage, otherwise these few Nascent Soul Stage Earth Spirit Crocodiles would be really difficult to deal with. Just now, the Primordial Secret Palace suddenly blocked the spiritual senses of all the cultivators in the mountains, making it impossible for everyone to sense it.

These demonic spirits must have just launched a sneak attack.

They ate several monks.

If she had arrived any later, both of them would probably have been eaten by crocodiles.

"Um, what do you mean by this, heroine?"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.

"That's exactly what we want. We need to get out of this mountain range as soon as possible. You don't want to be eaten by these things, do you?"

The woman pointed to the remains of the earth spirit crocodile on the ground, not wanting to say anything more to this mortal. Having said her piece, she immediately leaped into the sky and headed towards the cultivator camp.

There are already "uninvited guests" from outside in this mountain range. Now everyone's spiritual senses are blocked, which is equivalent to being blind to a third eye, so they can only go and report it with their physical bodies.

This relatively outlying area already has Nascent Soul stage demon beasts; there might be a fierce battle to come!

"...If you can't explain it clearly, you'll be kicked out."

Gu Heng pursed his lips.

to be frank.

What danger could there be in such an ordinary wild animal?

At least for Gu Heng, this was not dangerous at all. She could cut them to pieces in a few sword strikes. Gu Heng himself was not an incompetent person. What was so difficult about killing a few ferocious crocodiles?

But we can't blame her; I'm afraid most cultivators think the same way.

They believed that ordinary people might not be able to handle any wild beasts they encountered.

Weird.

He turned to Qin Yiyao and asked, "Girl, what do you think? Should we turn back or continue on to see what's going on?" "Continue."

The little girl also said she wasn't afraid.

The woman who just used a sword had a familiar-looking token hanging from her waist. Without a doubt, she must be a retainer or elder of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect.

Of course, it's not that she lacks common sense.

Not everyone is like Jiang Lingyun, who could tell at first glance that Gu Heng actually had a "problem".

There are people or things in these mountains that could threaten her or her good master...

I'm afraid there isn't one.

Moreover, since the Ancient Secret Palace was probably summoned by Gu Heng, wouldn't it be a shame not to go in and explore it?

"Alright, let's continue on our way!"

"And don't look over there, those things are always kind of disgusting."

Gu Heng glanced at the crocodile carcasses scattered on the ground with some disgust, suppressing the urge to vomit.

He genuinely dislikes bloodshed.

Poison would be so much better.

They can at least leave them with a complete body, so they won't be disabled when they're buried and reincarnated.
