  "This is strange, the eight peaks of Fenghuang Mountain are supposed to be inhabited by high-level spiritual beasts, but we haven't seen a single one on our way here? It's too smooth... it's scary!" Ah Hu chopped open a bundle of vines in front of him with his knife, muttering to himself. As an old hunter with many years of experience, Ah Hu didn't feel relieved at all, instead he felt a deeper sense of fear.

  Not encountering a ferocious spirit beast doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing, because that means there might be an even more terrifying spirit beast lurking around here! The weaker ones wouldn't dare to come close!

  "Perhaps those human warriors were scared away?" Bu Yunyan said uncertainly: "After all, so many top-notch experts, even if they are transformed spirit beasts, will retreat in disarray."

  "Ah Hu shook his head: "In this life, the strongest spiritual beast I've encountered is probably only at the Xuan level. When facing it, I can only run for my life. In short, powerful spiritual beasts are terrifying existences. We're now like walking on a narrow plank on a cliff!"

  Bù Yún Yān's face was somewhat pale, many things, hearing others say it and experiencing it oneself are two different concepts. To say one is not afraid would be to deceive others. However, looking at Qín Lì whose expression was relatively calm, Bù Yún Yān comforted herself: if he's not afraid, what do I have to fear?

  "This trip has been very rewarding!" Ah Hu noticed that Bu Yunyan's face was a bit pale, and changed the subject: "The medicinal herbs we collected this time are more than what we usually collect in a year. Plus, with this thousand-year-old one-leaf hundred-year grass, we've hit the jackpot! As long as we make it back alive, maybe we won't have to take such risks again!"

  In Ah Hu's opinion, Qin Li taking them in was most likely to establish a family of his own! Just like in Huangsha City, although the largest families were the Shangguan, Qin and Fang families, there were still many small families. If Qin Li wanted to build up his power, Ah Hu believed that it wouldn't take long for them to develop!

  With a freak genius martial artist like Qin Li, and a master alchemist like Leng Yao, it's hard to imagine that they wouldn't be able to develop. The Fang family back then didn't rise to prominence by relying on just a few elixir formulas? The Qin family only has two top-level ancestors who are high-ranking experts, yet they've developed to where they are today.

  They can, why can't we? Ah Hu appears to be rough and generous on the surface, but in fact, he also has a delicate and intelligent heart. Otherwise, how could he choose to follow Qin Li, this young man who has no foundation?

  Once Qin Li develops, these few people will be the earliest veterans to follow Qin Li! Not to mention, he has a very good impression of Qin Li, and the hot-bloodedness and generosity in his bones make Ah Hu care about Qin Li as a brother!

  Leng Ya said faintly: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger, what truly has value is the relics inside Feng Huang Lake! As long as we can get in, we'll always be able to bring out something!"

  Leng Yao's words made Ah Hu somewhat ashamed, but he had to admit that when Li Jian and He Lao San were alive, among their team, it was Leng Yao who had the highest vision. Privately, they also secretly guessed whether Leng Yao came from some big family.

  They chatted all the way, and after several hours, they had already walked out of the forest and climbed to a very high position. Looking back, the vast expanse of the forest was like a green carpet under their feet.

  At this moment, what was in front of them was a sparse and barren wilderness with scattered trees, the terrain was flat and vast, more than ten miles away, there was a steep and majestic mountain, surrounded by white clouds and mist, covered with snow, piercing through the sky!

  Although separated by more than ten miles, there is still a kind of heavy momentum rushing towards me.

  "How high it is!" Bu Yunyan couldn't help but exclaim.

  "The lowest place is actually the steepest, while the slightly gentler slope is much higher." Ah Hu narrowed his eyes and gazed at the mountain peaks ahead, saying: "I suggest we go over from the steeper side. This place really makes people uneasy, the sooner we get past it the better!"

  Qin Li nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth twitching as he smiled wryly: "I suddenly feel that with our current strength, coming to a place like this is an utterly crazy move."

  Qin Li's words made a few people smile, but thinking of the ancient ruins in the huge lake behind the mountain, their eyes shot out with intense light.

  "Go!"

  Qin Li took the lead this time, entering the wilderness and walking towards his target with determination.

  After several people disappeared in the wilderness, a white little fox appeared at the place where they had just rested, squinting its eyes and looking at the steep cliff with some helplessness shaking its head, thinking: What a crazy group of humans, simply unaware of life and death. If I hadn't followed you all along, you would have died countless times by now. Now you actually want to cross over from there... Alas, I'm so unlucky!

  The little fox muttered to himself, reluctantly following along. That slightly shorter mountain peak was home to a heavenly-level spiritual beast - the Iron-Armed Ape! Let alone Qin Li and those other warriors who weren't even at the Earth level, even if it were a powerful human warrior of the Heavenly level, the outcome of clashing with the Iron-Armed Ape would be only one.

  That's death!

  Fortunately, that spirit beast was originally a subordinate of the little fox. The little fox thought to itself, its body disappearing into the wilderness like a shot of electricity. It also had to give Iron Arm Ape advance notice, otherwise that violent guy would definitely tear these humans who dared to enter its territory into pieces without asking any questions!

  When several people stood at the top of this mountain peak, the sunset was just stuck between two high peaks on the opposite side, a golden light, shining on the surface of Fenghu Lake below, creating a piece of golden yellow. This scene is like a paradise on earth! And in the lake water, exposing that huge building complex with a length of tens of thousands of meters, it's even more exciting for several people, although only exposed to the water surface for over ten meters, but that ancient, grand, heavy and desolate atmosphere, as if rushing towards them. Although still separated by a great distance, the hearts of several people have long been turbulent! Can't help but look up at the sky and cheer.

  "Our luck is really good!" Qin Li said loudly.

  In the shadows, a small white animal viciously swiped its paws at their backs, while next to it, a gray giant ape with razor-sharp fangs and a height of over two meters glared at the weak humans with an unkind gaze. It was puzzled why Big Sister wouldn't let it tear those damned guys to shreds! The iron-armed ape stuck out its scarlet tongue to lick its lips, and the little fox gave it a sideways glance.

  "Don't be ridiculous! They saved me!"

  Iron Arm Ape turned around gloomily, Big Sister Head's command, naturally cannot be disobeyed, it has reached the Heavenly level, already possessing a part of spiritual intelligence, knowing what it means to repay a life-saving favor.

  The white fox lay there, watching those happy humans, and for some reason, its gaze also gradually softened, thinking: being a human must be wonderful?

  A few people on the mountain, naturally had no idea about all this. Ah Hu felt extremely puzzled by the smoothness of their journey, because in such a majestic and steep mountain range, it was impossible not to have even a single Xuan-level spiritual beast! In fact, their journey so far had been so smooth that it could be described as miraculous, without encountering even a single Huang-level spiritual beast.

  Apart from luck, they really couldn't find another explanation.

  At this moment, Qin Li's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly saw that there were several figures flying in the air, sticking to the surface of the water!

  The target is precisely that ancient relic in Phoenix Lake, with a magnificent atmosphere of tens of thousands of meters...
