Among the people sent by the Xu family to this forest, the two elders with the highest status were named Xu Tun and Xu Ding.
Both of these elders have the cultivation level of Dan Formation Realm.
The Xu family traveled thousands of miles this time and sent two elders from the Danjie Realm, who were obviously determined to get something in this forest.
Among them, Xu Ding's cultivation level has reached the late stage of Dan Jie Realm. In his early years, he joined the Yan Sect, which specializes in practicing evil arts, and was named the son of Yan Sect's genius that year.
So he has a more resounding title than his real name;
Tablets of inflammation.
At this moment, Ding Yanzi led people deep into the jungle, as if he was looking for something.
On a sedan chair carried by four people, Ding Yanzi was seen wearing a wide plain white linen robe, with a thick white beard, not much hair, and a bright and full forehead.
At first glance, he looks like an ordinary old man.
Who would have thought that he was Ding Yanzi, a famous evil cultivator in Jiangnan Prefecture decades ago!
The cultivation level in the late stage of the Dan Formation Realm can already be regarded as top-notch combat power among local official families like the Xu family.
In the past few decades, Ding Yanzi had been practicing in seclusion and rarely interfered with his family's affairs, which also led to the legend of him becoming weak in the public.
But within the Xu family, no matter how long it took, the name Ding Yanzi was always known to everyone.
"Lord Ding Yanzi, the search has been completed within ten miles, and no trace of other spiritual beasts has been found." A man knelt on one knee in front of the sedan chair and reported.
In the Xu family, subordinates generally address elders as "Sir". After all, they are an official family and are used to it.
"Well, let's end here today." Ding Yanzi's eyes were slightly squinted, but bright pupils often flashed through the gap.
Just when a group of people were about to turn around and leave.
Boom——!
Suddenly there was a loud noise underground.
"Roar-!"
A spiritual beast that looks like a lizard and is covered with thick armor suddenly bursts out of the ground and pounces with a soul-stirring roar.
"Protect Master Ding Yanzi!"
A dozen cultivators from the Xu family immediately surrounded the sedan chair and drew out their weapons to deal with the incoming spiritual beasts.
They fought for a while, and the Xu family was obviously at a disadvantage.
The thick armor on this lizard spirit beast is so strong that even a blade injected with true energy by a Qi Sea Realm cultivator cannot break it.
Moreover, the lizard spirit beast has sharp horns on its forehead and bulging cheeks with hidden weapons that can be fired at any time to attack.
"puff!"
Every time a black shadow that cannot be caught by the naked eye is shot out, a member of the Xu family will be blown away.
Until a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Sea Realm used a certain secret method when facing the approaching black shadow, and the true energy in his body suddenly increased by several percent.
He yelled angrily, stepped forward, stepped on the stones under his feet, splashed out bursts of stone powder, and chopped them off with a knife in both hands.
Tsk, tsk...
Amidst a series of gritted sounds, everyone saw that the black shadow was actually the tongue stuck out by the lizard spirit beast.
It's just that the long tongue is covered with a layer of fine scales. Even if the blade hits it, it will only throw out some dazzling sparks and fail to cut it off.
However, this blow seemed to make the lizard spirit beast feel the pain, and it quickly retracted its long tongue, turned its body, and tried to escape with its four claws flying.
"Chase!"
The people of the Xu family definitely wouldn't let him escape easily, so they all chased after him.
There was another fight, but the lizard spirit beast was extremely powerful and had superb tongue skills.
More than a dozen cultivators could only surround it and were unable to cause much damage.
At this time, Ding Yanzi, who had been sitting firmly on the sedan chair, moved.
His figure flashed, and with his next breath, he brought up a cloud of black mist and appeared three feet in front of the lizard spirit beast.
Looking at Ding Yanzi, the amber vertical pupils of the lizard spirit beast were full of vigilance, but more importantly, they were still flashing with an angry and fierce light.
A few days ago, the spirit beasts in this forest lived a carefree and comfortable life because it was far away from human life.
Especially this lizard spirit beast. Among lizards, it has won the favor of many female lizards with its strong strength and superior tongue skills.
Every day, a different female lizard comes to its cave and has an in-depth communication with it.
Afterwards, the female lizard didn't bother and left obediently. The next day, other female lizards came here.
Enjoying in-depth communication with different female lizards every day, this lizard spirit beast really lives a fairy-like life.
But the arrival of the Xu family broke this life.
Those female lizards were killed one after another by the Xu family, and in the end, she was the only lizard left in the huge forest.
In other words, no female lizard will come to him for in-depth communication in the future.
When he thought of this, the lizard spirit beast fell into endless melancholy.
You can leave me a female lizard anyway! How will I meet my physical needs in the future?
I really thought that we were all just like you humans. Even if we were alone, we would still have the girl on the left and the girl on the right to accompany us.
I have four claws and I can’t even do it if I want to! Hey!
Therefore, it carried out today's carefully prepared attack.
I must avenge you, humans, for the fact that I will have to die alone in the future!
Thinking of this, even though the lizard spirit beast realized that Ding Yanzi was difficult to deal with, it still puffed up its cheeks, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a thick roar.
When the cultivators from the Xu family around heard this voice, they felt as if someone had hit the back of their heads with a mallet, and they fell into a trance.
Psychic attack!
But not only that, a black shadow shot out from the mouth, which was another tongue skill that it was proud of.
This combination is the lizard spirit beast's unique skill.
First use mental attacks to stun the opponent, and then use the long, thick and hard tongue to attack Huanglong with lightning speed.
Since its birth, whenever it uses this trick, it has never failed.
The lizard spirit beast firmly believes that its long tongue is the longest, thickest, and hardest tongue in the world.
The moment it stuck out its tongue, it seemed as if it had already heard a hissing sound in its ears and saw the scene of the ingot cracking.
This is the inertia formed by his brain after killing enemies countless times.
hiss--!
Sure enough, the moment its tongue touched Ding Yanzi, it almost tore it apart viciously...
Um?
Something is wrong.
Although his tongue was submerged into Ding Yanzi, it did not tear him apart, but instead seemed to have penetrated a bottomless black hole.
too deep...
Unfathomable…
No, even though my tongue is long, thick and big, I can't explore the other person's depth. This is very dangerous!
Just when the lizard spirit beast sensed the crisis and wanted to take back its tongue.
Ding Yanzi smiled coldly; "You've already come in, do you still want to go out? Stay!"
Wow——!
A ball of black energy erupted from Ding Yanzi's body, and traveled along the tongue of the lizard spirit beast like a lead, quickly burning throughout its body.
"Roar-!"
Roaring in pain, the lizard spirit beast fell.
The black energy has been clinging to its body, causing its size to continue to shrink.
Until the huge lizard disappeared completely, Ding Yanzi exhaled and let out a sound of relief;
"Yes, the spirit beast that has almost reached the fourth level is full of materials, especially the tongue. I am very satisfied."
Just when Ding Yanzi was sighing with emotion, a man ran out of the forest and kneeled respectfully in front of him;
"Lord Ding Yanzi, I accidentally met an alchemist who said he could refine third-grade elixirs. He has now brought him back to the camp. Please go back and take a look."
When he heard that a third-grade elixir could be refined, Ding Yanzi's eyes lit up;
"Okay, let's go back and take a look. If he is really an alchemist who can refine third-grade elixirs, we will have a greater chance of completing the task first!"
