407: Chapter 407 Caught in Crisis

Yun Chenfei and the others worked together to stabilize the boat so it would no longer rock and bump, some casting their unique Spells while others relied on their physical strength.

For a time, lights of various colors flickered and interlaced, contrasting with the surging river water to form a tense and spectacular scene.

"Everyone, put in more effort; we must leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. The huge commotion from that intense battle just now, along with the thick scent of blood permeating the air, will surely attract more ferocious and powerful Yao Beasts. Once we are surrounded, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Ran Xueyao looked around vigilantly, her voice lowered and urgent.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, and the movements of their hands grew even faster.

Lin Guiwan frowned slightly, and after a moment of thought, she spoke up with a suggestion: "Once we safely cross this river, let's first find a suitable place to rest and properly discuss our next plan of action."

"Advancing blindly and without any clue like we are now is simply too much of a waste of time and energy."

As soon as she finished speaking, she received the agreement of Ran Xueyao, the other two women, and the Little Beast.

However, Yun Chenfei shook his head, frowning deeply as he said worriedly, "The problem is that none of us have truly set foot in the core area of the Misty Forest! Even within the Sect, no detailed maps of that place have ever been preserved."

"I only have a topographical map in my hand that marks the areas occupied by Seventh Tier Monster Beasts, but by my estimation, that place is likely still a long distance away from the center of the Misty Forest."

At this moment, Yan Qingying, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but interject, "Furthermore, one can imagine that the most terrifying top-tier Yao Beasts must reside in the center of the Misty Forest. Perhaps there really are those terrifying existences that have surpassed the Tenth Tier as the legends say..."

Speaking to this point, she couldn't help but shudder, a look of fear appearing on her face.

Just as the atmosphere grew heavy, the Little Beast's eyes suddenly lit up, and it spoke: "I once heard of an extremely mysterious and rare Spirit Butterfly. This kind of Spirit Butterfly possesses extraordinary abilities; they specifically travel through various dangerous and unknown places to search for the rare treasures hidden within."

"If we are fortunate enough to find this kind of Spirit Butterfly, then perhaps we can unveil the mystery of the Misty Forest's central region, and maybe even directly find the location of the legendary world purifying spiritual spring!"

The Little Beast's words were like a bolt of lightning streaking through the night sky, instantly igniting the fire of hope in everyone's hearts.

The eyes of several people lit up in unison, and the originally heavy and oppressive atmosphere became much more relaxed and active because of this new clue.

After a brief and tense discussion, everyone finally decided to split into two groups to take action.

One group would be led by the powerful and experienced Yun Chenfei; they would continue to follow the existing map's guidance and explore forward cautiously.

The other group was entrusted to Lin Guiwan, who would take the Little Beast that provided the important clue to search for the whereabouts of the Spirit Butterfly.

And so, Lin Guiwan and the Little Beast embarked on their journey to find the Spirit Butterfly.

They searched painstakingly for several days within a quiet and deep valley, experiencing countless hardships and dangers during that time, but they never gave up.

Hard work pays off, and finally one day, as the sunlight spilled through the gaps in the dense leaves, Lin Guiwan keenly perceived a strange fluctuation of aura.

Following this weak fluctuation, they indeed discovered traces left behind by the Spirit Butterfly.

However, just as they were filled with joy, thinking they were about to succeed, they were surprised to find that the ones guarding the Spirit Butterfly were a group of terrifyingly powerful Seventh Tier Monster Beasts.

These Yao Beasts not only possessed great strength but were also skilled at using unpredictable illusions to deceive their enemies.

Facing such powerful enemies, Lin Guiwan did not dare to be careless. She quickly cast the Illusion-breaking methods she had mastered, attempting to shatter the layers of illusions set up by the Yao Beasts.

At the same time, the clever and agile Little Beast also fully utilized its speed advantage, weaving back and forth through the group of Yao Beasts like a flash of lightning, constantly interfering with their attack rhythm.

This fierce battle lasted for a long time, with both sides trading blows and neither giving an inch.

Although Lin Guiwan and the Little Beast cooperated tacitly, their strength was limited after all, and they gradually began to feel overwhelmed.

However, just as they were about to be unable to hold on, Lin Guiwan, relying on her strong will and unyielding spirit, forced out a finishing move, breaking through the Yao Beasts' defensive line in one go.

Taking this opportunity, the Little Beast pounced on the Spirit Butterfly with lightning speed, successfully capturing it.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the team led by Yun Chenfei was currently trapped in a life-or-death crisis.

They had been moving forward cautiously, but fate did not seem to favor this brave team.

In a narrow valley passage, they were caught off guard by a sudden raid from a group of chilling Eighth Tier Yao Beasts.

These Yao Beasts were no ordinary creatures, but the massive and immensely powerful Savage Yaks!

Their mountain-like bodies and iron-hard horns were enough to strike fear into anyone.

In an instant, wild winds howled and dust flew. The Savage Yaks charged toward Yun Chenfei's group with the force of an overwhelming tide, their astonishing attack power instantly turning the entire scene into chaotic shambles.

Although Yun Chenfei and the others resisted with all their might, facing such fierce enemies, they could only barely parry and had no strength to fight back.

As time passed, the situation grew increasingly critical. Chen Miaoyin and Ran Xueyao were both heavily injured, their blood staining the ground beneath their feet.

Yun Chenfei was anxious; he knew that if they couldn't turn the situation around quickly, everyone would lose their lives here.

However, no matter how they exerted their full strength, they were still unable to break through the encirclement of the Savage Yak herd.

Just as Yan Qingying and Yun Chenfei were about to be injured as well, a hurried sound of footsteps came from a distance.

These footsteps were like a dawn of hope, breaking through the gloom of death.

Yun Chenfei and the others looked up one after another, only to see two figures rushing toward them at high speed.

Looking closely, the newcomers were actually Lin Guiwan and the Little Beast, the person and beast both moving with great agility.

Furthermore, Lin Guiwan was holding a Spirit Butterfly that had just been captured, which was emitting a five-colored radiance.

The appearance of Lin Guiwan and the Little Beast brought a glimmer of hope to Yun Chenfei and the others. They quickly joined the battle, utilizing their superb martial arts and understanding of Yao Beast habits to skillfully maneuver among the Savage Yaks.

Lin Guiwan gently raised her hand, releasing the Spirit Butterfly into the air.

The Spirit Butterfly was like a light flower petal, performing a Likely the alias Yun Chenfei is using in the air. After a few circles, its entire body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling and intense light.

These lights were like bolts of lightning streaking across the sky, instantly illuminating the entire battlefield.
