"Su Fei!"
The members of the Beast Taming Sect caught sight of Ye Yunfei.
"Hahaha... Su Fei, now that Lü Yugang, Zen Master Tianlei, and Zen Master Tiansha aren't by your side, let's see who can help you!"
The sturdy man fixed his fierce gaze on Ye Yunfei and roared with laughter.
"Charge! Kill this brat!"
The sturdy man shouted, and a tall black bear rushed out from beside him like a black mountain peak, rolling forth. A pair of enormous, thick bear claws tore through space, and its roars shook the mountain range.
This black bear was the sturdy man's Warbeast!
"Hmph! This Young Master Su is an honored guest of our race. How dare you be so disrespectful!"
A tall, blue-haired Mermaid Clan warrior standing beside the Old Clan Leader stepped forward, gripping a three-pronged steel trident, and snorted coldly.
Roar!
The black bear brandished a massive animal bone, whipping up swirling hurricane winds as it swept forward.
The Mermaid Clan warrior raised his steel trident. Surging waves rose from thin air behind him as he met the charge, clashing with the black bear.
This Mermaid Clan warrior was among the foremost experts of his race. Though not as powerful as the Old Clan Leader, he possessed strength at the mid-stage Dao Yuan realm, making him more than a match for that black bear.
Thwump!
After a few exchanges, the Mermaid warrior's trident struck the black bear's shoulder, shattering it instantly. Then, a massive fish tail, ethereal one moment and solid the next, whipped out fiercely and sent the black bear flying like a black cannonball, crashing into the distant ground with earth-shaking force and billowing dust.
Although the Mermaid Clan had always lived in seclusion within the Cangmang Sea, never venturing into the world, their true strength was no trifle. If placed in the Eastern Barrens, they would absolutely be considered a major power!
The experts of the Mermaid Clan were no weaker than those within the great clans and forces of the Eastern Barrens!
"How dare you! You damned sea beasts, you dare injure my Warbeast?! Seek death!"
The sturdy man from the Beast Taming Sect, seeing his Warbeast injured, flew into a rage. He stepped forward, wanting to charge into the fray.
"Come fight then!"
The Mermaid Clan warrior sneered, utterly unafraid.
"Forget it. Those sea beasts are very powerful, especially that old sea beast. His strength is unfathomable. We are likely not their match. Let's go collect those Ji-grade Spiritual Herbs first! Otherwise, others will get there before us!"
An elderly man beside the sturdy man sent a sound transmission.
"Fine! We'll go get those Ji-grade Spiritual Herbs first! They're priceless treasures we absolutely cannot miss!"
The sturdy man thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Ji-grade Spiritual Herbs were far too precious for these major powers of the Eastern Barrens to pass up.
"Su Fei, and you sea beasts, just wait! For offending our Beast Taming Sect, you await annihilation!"
The sturdy man coldly shouted.
"Let's go. We're heading over to collect those herbs."
The sturdy man waved his hand and led his group from the Beast Taming Sect charging towards the patch of Ji-grade Spiritual Herbs in the distant mountains.
"The aura of that mountain ridge seems a bit strange, like it's a dangerous place. We'd better be careful."
An expert from the Beast Taming Sect spoke up.
"How about this: everyone release your Warbeasts. Let the beasts explore first, and we'll follow behind. It'll be safer."
The sturdy man thought for a moment and said.
Warbeasts roared as they charged toward that mountain ridge region teeming with Ji-grade Spiritual Herbs.
"Old Clan Leader, let's go too. We can't let them monopolize those herbs!"
A Mermaid Clan expert grew somewhat anxious and spoke.
"No hurry. The Blood Demon Land is extremely perilous. They won't have an easy time plucking those Ji-grade Spiritual Herbs. Let's wait a bit."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Everyone, don't be impatient."
Seeing Ye Yunfei seemed knowledgeable about dangerous places, the Old Clan Leader quickly stopped the others. Ye Yunfei had even cured his injury; he knew this youth was no ordinary person.
After all, he had been wounded by a Quasi-Emperor expert!
Few in the world could cure such an injury!
"Haha, so many Ji-grade Spiritual Herbs! We're rich!"
At this moment, the Beast Taming Sect group had already charged into the ridge region brimming with Ji-grade Spiritual Herbs. Seeing the ground littered with herbs ahead, each of them grew extremely excited, crying out.
Over a dozen powerful Warbeasts cleared the path ahead, fierce and imposing. Wherever they passed, they shattered mountains, split rocks, and destroyed vast swaths of primal forest, causing enormous destruction.
For a moment, the entire mountain range was thrown into turmoil.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a flash of bloody light streaked from the distance, and a blood-red figure appeared, gazing coldly at the Beast Taming Sect group.
Whoosh!
Abruptly, the bloody figure extended both claws, which swelled violently, unleashing a tide of sinister qi. They plunged into the chest of one Warbeast and ripped, tearing the beast's body in two.
Roar...!
At the same time, over a dozen thick, bloody long dragons emerged from beneath the ground. These dragons seemed formed from congealed blood, exuding a thick scent of bloodlust and bristling with killing intent.
These blood dragons were condensed from highly sinister and dangerous earth qi, making them extremely fierce.
Boom! Boom!
The blood dragons attacked together and, within moments, slew half of the Warbeasts!
"Watch out! These are earth spirits of this place! Extremely dangerous!"
A Beast Taming Sect elder cried out.
Roar...!
Suddenly, the blood-red figure let out a long, bloodcurdling scream that made everyone's eardrums throb with pain.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The next moment, over a dozen more identical, ethereal blood-red figures continuously appeared, pouncing toward the Beast Taming Sect group.
Simultaneously, the blood-red ground began to tremble violently.
Visibly, wave after wave of bizarre blood-red runes endlessly rose from underground.
"Not good! My body seems to be under the control of a mysterious force! Moving is difficult!"
"Me too! This place is too treacherous! We need to flee!"
...
Finally realizing something was wrong, the Beast Taming Sect members panicked.
"The Blood Demon Land has been completely activated."
Ye Yunfei looked at the shuddering, blood-colored mountain ridge and said gravely.
"Thank goodness we didn't follow and charge over earlier. That's terrifying."
Some Mermaid Clan members spoke.
"It's time."
With a thought, Ye Yunfei directed dozens of Red Dragons to burrow stealthily into the ground, heading toward the Blood Demon Land.
The Blood Demon Land was now fully activated and occupied with dealing with the Beast Taming Sect group, giving Ye Yunfei the perfect opportunity to study it.
After a short while.
Ye Yunfei gradually gained an increasingly clear understanding of this Blood Demon Land.
"Be suppressed!"
Ye Yunfei shouted.
Dozens of Red Dragons charged into the Blood Demon Land simultaneously, occupying various special positions and unleashing immense suppressing power.
Roar...!
Dozens of Red Dragons roared at once, causing the entire Blood Demon Land to shudder violently.
The movements of the blood-red figures and the blood dragons simultaneously slowed, because the energy of the Blood Demon Land had been partially suppressed in that instant.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei employed his Spatial Teleportation technique, arriving instantly within the Blood Demon Land. His sleeves flared as he began harvesting the Ji-grade Spiritual Herbs at the fastest speed possible.
While Ye Yunfei acted, Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and the Gold-horned Dragon Silkworm appeared simultaneously, also frantically gathering herbs at maximum speed.
Within less than five breaths, all the Ji-grade Spiritual Herbs were harvested.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei used Spatial Teleportation again to leave the Blood Demon Land.
"Old Clan Leader, let's go."
Ye Yunfei said to the Old Clan Leader.
"Good! Let's go!"
The Old Clan Leader was struck dumb with shock, taking a moment to recover before hastily agreeing.
Thus, Ye Yunfei and the Mermaid Clan group swiftly headed toward the central part of the island.
"Damn it! Su Fei, you deserve to die! We risked life and limb and didn't even get half a Ji-grade Spiritual Herb, yet you snatched them all up!"
The Beast Taming Sect members were seeing red with fury.
