The last time at the top of Ji Lei Mountain, Xiao Batian did not take Zhou Yuan's life, which was why Zhou Yuan returned alive.
Therefore, this time Xiao Batian made it clear that he would not feel at ease until he saw Zhou Yuan's body.
He was determined to get rid of Zhou Yuan's future trouble.
Seeing that his brothers didn't understand why, Xiao Jie laughed.
"You are a bunch of guys with strong limbs and simple minds. I really can't lead you."
Xiao Jie pointed at the crowd and said: "So what if the Jiang family has a way to track Zhou Yuan? In the end, we won't have to confront Zhou Yuan head-on, but I have a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
"Brother, do you want to use the Jiang family's help to kill Zhou Yuan?"
"Idiot, with just Jiang Tong's little ability, can he kill Zhou Yuan?"
Xiao Jie rolled his eyes, "Haven't you heard that there are two hunting teams in the Diling Mountains? They are active in the Diling Mountains all year round and are very powerful?"
"They hunt earth spirit beasts and bring various materials to the city to sell. I purchase some of the raw materials for the Xiao family's industries from them."
Hearing this, everyone was suddenly stunned.
But soon someone started muttering.
One of the guards said: "Brother, what you said is true. Those two hunting teams are more familiar with the Diling Mountains than any of us. It's very simple to find Zhou Yuan, but why should they help us?"
Having business contacts does not mean that the relationship is good.
Among businessmen, profit is the most important thing. If there is no profit, everything is useless.
"As far as I know, the two hunting teams are incompatible with each other. As long as we create a little spark and target Zhou Yuan, can't we kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
"Forget it, you don't understand even after I tell you. Come with me."
With that said, Xiao Jie stood up and walked towards the other direction of Diling Mountain Range.
…
evening.
Zhou Yuan came to a water pool.
The pool was clear, reflecting the bright moon, and there were fish swimming in it.
Knowing that it was living water, Zhou Yuan washed his face, then filled the water bag, walked to a big tree, took out some dry food and ate it.
While eating, he also stared at the surroundings keenly.
The Diling Mountains were more dangerous at night than during the day, so Zhou Yuan could not sleep that night.
Fortunately, all the meridians in his body are connected, and the nerves are connected with spiritual power. At his level, even if he doesn't sleep, it won't have much impact.
At the end of the day today, Zhou Yuan had killed dozens of earth spirit beasts one after another.
It has to be said that the Earth Spirit Mountain Range is a paradise for Earth Spirit Beasts, and humans can only move around in secret.
Just like earth spirit beasts don't dare to appear openly in human cities.
"Someone is following me, could it be the Xiao family?" Zhou Yuan looked around and thought to himself.
While he was killing the earth spirit beasts during the day, he had already noticed that someone was watching him secretly and was about to take action at any time, but he never took action.
Here, it is common to kill people, steal goods, and compete for treasures.
But what Zhou Yuan thinks about most is his enemy.
Those who secretly followed him were either the Jiang family or the Xiao family.
Even before he came, he had thought that the two families would not give up this great opportunity to intercept him.
It's just that he is very curious, how did the other party find him?
"Since you're here, let's all stay."
There was a hint of killing intent in Zhou Yuan's eyes.
Since the other party is here to kill you, there is no need for you to be merciful.
Roar!
Suddenly, a roar came from far away, from far to near.
Zhou Yuan's keen nerves immediately became alert, he packed his baggage and hid behind a tree.
Not long after, an earth spirit beast came slowly. The upper half of its body was hidden in the darkness, and its shape could not be seen clearly, but its triangular head was lowered, as if it was sniffing something.
"not good."
The next moment, Zhou Yuan, who was hiding behind the tree, secretly knew something was wrong.
Because those deep eyes were already staring at Zhou Yuan's location.
Whoosh!
Zhou Yuan immediately flashed and fled towards the distance.
The earth spirit beast then roared and chased after him.
Half an hour later, Zhou Yuan wiped off the blood stains on the sword and put the sword into its sheath.
He squatted down and took out an earth spirit core from the wound of the body of the earth spirit beast with a triangular head in front of him.
If it were not for his unfamiliarity with the terrain, Zhou Yuan would not dare to run around, nor would he turn around and fight back.
Fortunately, this is just a fifth-level earth spirit beast.
After taking out the earth spirit core, Zhou Yuan dodged and left.
After half a stick of incense, another earth spirit beast broke into Zhou Yuan's resting place.
There was no other way, so Zhou Yuan could only draw out his long sword and kill him.
But not long after, another earth spirit beast attacked.
In this way, Zhou Yuan has been fighting with the earth spirit beast for the whole night.
Fortunately, these earth spirit beasts are not too strong, ranging from first to sixth level.
Just running around all night disrupted Zhou Yuan's rest time.
It was dawn, Zhou Yuan frowned, hid in a cave, and looked out of the cave warily.
After being disturbed all night, Zhou Yuan would be really stupid if he still couldn't understand.
He seems to be attractive and can always be targeted by earthly beasts.
But this is not a coincidence, but someone did it deliberately.
He suspected that someone had deliberately lured the earth spirit beast here to cause trouble for him.
No need to think about it, it must be the group of people following you.
After thinking about this clearly, Zhou Yuan waited until daylight, ate some solid food, and then walked out of the cave.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked out of the cave, he heard an earth spirit beast approaching in the distance.
But this time Zhou Yuan did not escape.
He stood upright, waiting for the earth spirit beast to approach.
This is a purple fox with six tails, belonging to the sixth level of earth spirit beast.
But if you look carefully, you can see that among the six long tails, there is a short furry tail, which is about one-third as long as the other tails.
As long as its tail grows as long as the other tails, this six-tailed purple fox will definitely transform into a seven-tailed purple fox.
Therefore, it can be concluded that this six-tailed purple fox almost has the strength of a seventh-level earth spirit beast.
Whoosh!
The moment it saw Zhou Yuan, the six-tailed purple fox suddenly flashed, opened its fangs, and rushed towards Zhou Yuan.
The sharp claws of the forelimbs were raised high, as if they could tear everything into pieces.
The six-tailed purple fox was already very fast and extremely flexible. Zhou Yuan first dodged several times, moved away from the cave, and found an open space. Then he turned from passive to active and raised his sword towards the six-tailed purple fox.
Cut it off.
Without trees or other borrowing points, the six-tailed purple fox's attack power was significantly weakened.
After a stick of incense, Zhou Yuan chopped off his head and removed the earth spirit core.
At the same time, Zhou Yuan's body was covered in blood and his face was full of weakness.
In order to prevent the bloody smell from attracting other earth spirit beasts, he quickly left the battlefield.
After a while, Zhou Yuan leaned against a big tree, panting.
puff!
Zhou Yuan lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, appearing to be dying.
At this moment, several figures came out of the dense forest.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Zhou Yuan, the earth spirit beasts you have been fighting were all attracted by us."
"Now you are finally injured. It seems to be serious."
Along with a sneer, a tall and thin man appeared in front of Zhou Yuan, holding a black-haired ghost dog.
