Guardian beast

Xiao Feng came before the Ganoderma, examining it carefully, and discovered that the Ganoderma before him might not be an ordinary one.

Suddenly, the howling of a fierce beast came from outside the cave.

Xiao Feng quickly hid to the side, carefully listening to the movements from outside the cave, and found that the fierce beast had no intention of coming in.

Although it hadn't come inside, Xiao Feng still inferred that the fierce beast might be the guardian beast of this Ganoderma.

Currently, he hadn't picked the Ganoderma, so the fierce beast shouldn't have discovered his location.

As long as Xiao Feng picked the Ganoderma, he believed the fierce beast in the Mountain Forest would immediately know his location.

Since the fierce beast hadn't come inside, Xiao Feng returned to the side of the Ganoderma again, carefully picking it.

As expected, as soon as he picked the Ganoderma, the extremely tragic howling of a fierce beast came from outside the cave.

Xiao Feng quickly exited the cave to avoid being trapped inside by it.

As soon as he came out of the cave, the fierce beast immediately saw Xiao Feng's location and charged towards him as if its life depended on it.

Xiao Feng dared not face it head-on, placing the Shanhe Sword to circle around his body, while his speed was raised to the extreme.

Although the fierce beast's speed was very fast, its damage was truly not worth mentioning; it couldn't even break the Shanhe Sword's defense.

In just a short while, he released his Spirit Energy, concealed the aura of the Ganoderma, and hid behind a large rock.

Without the aura of the Ganoderma to guide it, the fierce beast roared a few times with a face full of anger, fiercely breaking the surrounding large trees.

From beginning to end, Xiao Feng didn't move at all, afraid that the fierce beast would see his location.

After who knows how long, the fierce beast entered the Mountain Forest again and disappeared before him.

Xiao Feng spread out his Spirit Energy, and only after not detecting the fierce beast's aura did he feel relieved and walk out of the Mountain Forest.

Although it was safe here for him, no one knew if it was safe over there for the Qing Sect Disciples.

Not long after, Xiao Feng walked out of the Mountain Forest.

When he saw that Zhou Wei and Shen Qingchen were still at the original spot, he was completely relieved and walked up to them.

Just as he returned to the Qing Sect team, Lu Xue'er walked back from a distance, and upon seeing that Xiao Feng had shaken off the fierce beast, her expression was slightly disappointed.

However, she quickly recovered and walked to the front of the team: "Let's continue moving forward. We don't know if those fierce beasts will come back to trouble us."

Xiao Feng watched Lu Xue'er lead the way in front of them and couldn't help but say to Lu Xue'er: "Shouldn't you tell us about your training mission?"

Since the people had already been brought here by them, there was no reason to know nothing.

When Lu Xue'er heard that Xiao Feng wanted to know about her training mission, she pointed ahead: "We need to obtain a bead inside the cave ahead."

And at the entrance of that cave, there is a fierce beast. Without the corpse of a Tiger Hound Beast as food for it, the Qing Sect Disciples wouldn't dare to appear before it at all.

As the leader, they not only needed to consider the completion of the mission but also the safety of their team members' lives.

Otherwise, if they returned to the Qing Sect with heavy casualties, the Sect Leader and Elder would definitely trouble her, and she might even be expelled from the Qing Sect.

In just a short while, Lu Xue'er led Xiao Feng to the entrance of the training cave.

Xiao Feng spread out his Spirit Energy and circled the cave, discovering that there was indeed something guarding the cave entrance.

Lu Xue'er saw that Xiao Feng had discovered the fierce beast inside and quickly pulled Xiao Feng back: "That one inside is very powerful, you'd best not get close."

Since Lu Xue'er could say such words, Xiao Feng believed that she must have troubled that fierce beast before.

Unfortunately, she didn't defeat the fierce beast, which was why she resorted to this last measure, searching everywhere for the corpse of a Tiger Hound Beast.

Lu Xue'er was seen slowly walking over from the side and throwing the corpse of the Tiger Hound Beast inside.

When the fierce beast saw the corpse of the Tiger Hound Beast fall from the sky, its face was full of surprise, and it glanced at the Mountain Forest.

At this time, Xiao Feng and Lu Xue'er remained before the Qing Sect Disciples, making the Qing Sect Disciples unable to speak.

Currently, the aura of the fierce beast was circling around them, as if searching for their location.

Xiao Feng made a gesture to the Qing Sect Disciples, signaling them not to make a sound.

In such a situation, even the slightest movement from them could lead to them being discovered by the fierce beast, which would absolutely be a catastrophe for them.

The Qing Sect Disciples looked at Xiao Feng telling them to relax, and one after another, they closed their eyes, not daring to say a single word.

Not long after, the fierce beast confirmed that there were no threats around, and it lay down on the body of the Tiger Hound Beast, desperately tearing and biting.

Lu Xue'er watched the fierce beast begin to feed and couldn't help but say to Xiao Feng: "We need to go inside while it's feeding, and then we have to come out."

Xiao Feng understood how dangerous it was and took a deep breath: "First-level Cultivators whose strength is too weak shouldn't follow, or you will be in danger."

As the leader of the team, they not only needed to consider their own safety but also the safety of those in the team.

In just ten breaths, Xiao Feng and Lu Xue'er, along with some Qing Sect Disciples, slowly walked into the cave.

They didn't dare to make too much noise, afraid that the fierce beast would detect their location.

Xiao Feng looked at the fierce beast seriously gnawing and couldn't help but say to Lu Xue'er: "If I'm not mistaken, this fierce beast should be a guardian beast, right?"

Only a guardian beast would possibly stay in the same place all the time; other fierce beasts would have already left long ago, their pride not allowing them to stay in one place continuously.

Lu Xue'er heard Xiao Feng mention the guardian beast and nodded slightly: "It's possible it's a guardian beast."

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, looked at Xiao Feng with deep meaning, but didn't say anything.

Not long after, a few people came inside the cave and found a glittering bead placed in the middle of the cave.

Lu Xue'er pointed at the bead in the middle of the cave with a smile on her face: "See that bead? That's our goal this time."

Since the fierce beast hadn't followed them inside, Lu Xue'er easily came before that bead and pulled it down.

Originally, the few people thought they could leave safely after getting the bead, but no one expected the fierce beast at the entrance to react immediately, abandoning the food in its mouth.

Xiao Feng heard the roar coming from the entrance, his eyes suddenly widened, and he glanced at the bead in her hand: "Quickly put it back, do you want us to die here?"

The area of the cave wasn't very large to begin with, and the few of them inside didn't even have room to move.

As long as the fierce beast entered the cave, they would be in a situation of certain death, and no one wanted to die here inexplicably.
