Feng Yuqin was standing beside a big tree. Subconsciously, she hugged the tree tightly.
The next moment, a gust of wind rose from the spot. Feng Yuqin's body was blown into the air. She felt as if she was a broken - string kite flying away.
The moment she landed, Feng Yuqin spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
Seeing this, Xiaoying's face changed drastically. "Master!"
Feng Yuqin's blood disappeared the moment it hit the ground. Xiaoying quickly flew to her side.
The ground stopped trembling the moment the blood seeped into the ground.
"Master, are you okay?" Xiaoying asked anxiously.
Feng Yuqin covered the painful parts of her body and said slowly, "I'm fine."
However, she was a bit worried that the tremors might cause a landslide and bury her alive.
She could figure out ways to deal with enemies, but she was helpless against the trembling of the mountain.
Moreover, she was quite curious about what was going on with this mountain. Why did she and Xiaoying both feel that it was a living being?
She looked up at Xiaoying and asked, "Since you're a divine beast and have lived for a long time, do you know what's going on? Why does a mountain peak feel like a living being?"
Xiaoying shook her head. "Master, although I'm a divine beast, the Phoenix Clan has always preferred to stay within its own territory and has not had much contact with the outside world. So I don't know what's going on either."
"Master, the ground has stopped trembling. We must leave quickly."
Feng Yuqin thought this made sense, so she forced herself to move forward.
But after walking only a few steps, her face changed.
"What's wrong, Master?" Xiaoying asked in confusion when she saw Feng Yuqin stop.
Feng Yuqin gave a strange look at Xiaoying flying beside her and asked, "Don't you notice something wrong with my spiritual sea?"
Logically, since she couldn't practice, she shouldn't be able to feel it.
But at this moment, she clearly felt that there seemed to be an additional contract line.
She didn't block this thought, so after Xiaoying sensed it, it immediately flew into her brow to explore her spiritual sea.
Sure enough, it saw an additional shadow in the spiritual sea. It was the appearance of a beast pet.
Xiaoying looked stunned. Its slightly trembling voice sounded in Feng Yuqin's mind. "Mas... Master, when did you contract another spiritual beast?"
"What did you say?" Feng Yuqin was shocked. "What spiritual beast?"
Xiaoying flew out from between her eyebrows and hovered in mid - air opposite Feng Yuqin. "I know that spiritual beast. It's recorded in the inheritance of the Phoenix Clan."
Feng Yuqin had no spiritual power and couldn't detect it, but after all, there was an additional spiritual beast, and she could still feel the contract line.
So when she heard what Xiaoying said, she immediately asked, "What kind of spiritual beast is it? Isn't it said that there are hardly any spiritual beasts in the Tianyuan Continent? Why do I feel that spiritual beasts and divine beasts are as common as cabbages?"
Hearing this, Xiaoying's mouth twitched violently, not knowing how to refute.
Because it thought its master was right. There were very few spiritual beasts in the Tianyuan Continent, and it had never even heard of a divine beast appearing on this continent.
As for its master, she only had two beast pets, but one was a divine beast and the other was a spiritual beast.
"Master, it can only be said that you're very lucky. The spiritual beast in your spiritual sea is a Gold - Eating Beast," Xiaoying said.
Feng Yuqin blinked, looking confused. "There's such a beast?"
Xiaoying nodded and began to explain to Feng Yuqin what a Gold - Eating Beast was. "Master, if an ordinary person has a Gold - Eating Beast, they'll never be poor in their life..."
Because the Gold - Eating Beast had the ability to find treasures, and its body was an immeasurably vast storage space. Its greatest hobby was to accumulate wealth.
It hadn't thought about what was going on with this living being before because it hadn't even considered this possibility.
So now, after discovering the Gold - Eating Beast in Feng Yuqin's spiritual sea, it remembered some deeds about the Gold - Eating Beast.
This mountain peak should be the body of the Gold - Eating Beast.
"What did you say? This is the body of the Gold - Eating Beast?" Feng Yuqin was shocked, and her eyes suddenly widened.
Xiaoying nodded. "Yes, Master. It should be injured, which is why it has become like this."
After a pause, Xiaoying continued, "But I don't understand how Master managed to contract the Gold - Eating Beast. You know, the Gold - Eating Beast is extremely difficult to tame. So far, I've never heard of an example of a Gold - Eating Beast recognizing a master."
As soon as the words were out, the mountain began to tremble again, and this time it was much more serious than before.
All kinds of plants on the ground were in a mess. Trees were uprooted and flying in the forest with the wind. The scene was extremely chaotic.
Feng Yuqin felt that the forest at this moment was really like an earthquake. She was already injured. When the trees were uprooted, they were all over the place. She tried her best to hide.
But even so, she was hit by broken branches several times.
Seeing this scene outside the mountain, Xia Yujia's expression twisted, and she laughed maniacally. "That bitch Feng Yuqin has encountered the Earth Dragon's Flip. She's finally going to die."
"Yujia, there's something wrong with this mountain. We must leave here quickly," Meng Yuanhang said.
Xia Yujia nodded. "That's right. I don't want to be buried with that bitch."
Among the eight people in the group, the remaining four quickly left.
If Xia Yujia knew that she had tried every means to force Feng Yuqin into the so - called deadly mountain in her mind, only to let Feng Yuqin get a great opportunity, she might vomit blood in anger.
Seeing Feng Yuqin being hit by the branches, Xiaoying was extremely anxious. It used its power several times to help Feng Yuqin avoid the danger. "Master, are you okay?"
Just as Feng Yuqin was about to answer, she felt a tree falling behind her. Without thinking about anything else, she endured the pain in her body and flipped over to avoid it.
Although she managed to avoid it, due to the limitation of her injury, she fell heavily to the ground and spat out another mouthful of blood.
A sense of despair suddenly rose in Feng Yuqin's heart.
She had no spiritual power and couldn't communicate with the Gold - Eating Beast deep in her spiritual sea. If this continued, she would be buried under this mountain.
"Master, the commotion on this mountain is so great that it will probably attract a lot of people," Xiaoying said seriously. "We must leave here as soon as possible."
Feng Yuqin was helpless. The forest was still in a mess. She was pushed to the other side by the trembling of the ground and happened to bump into a tree. She hugged the tree, which was almost as thick as her waist, tightly and said, "Do you think it's possible for us to leave in this situation?"
Xiaoying was also in a difficult position. "Master, we've collected enough demon cores. I'll help you dredge your meridians now."
Feng Yuqin's eyes were stung by the strong wind, and her mouth twitched violently. "Do you think this is the right time?"
Xiaoying said urgently, "Even if it's not the right time, we have to do it. The Gold - Eating Beast should be unable to establish contact with you actively because of its injury. So I must dredge your meridians so that you can have spiritual power. Only when you have spiritual power can you go into your spiritual sea and communicate with the Gold - Eating Beast. Otherwise, it won't stop."
"But even if... I dredge my meridians, it's useless if I can't practice," Feng Yuqin said. At this moment, she was holding the tree trunk, her hair and clothes were fluttering in the wind, and it was extremely difficult for her to speak.
Xiaoying shook her head. "No. If I dredge your meridians, it's still okay for you to use a wisp of spiritual power to communicate with the Gold - Eating Beast. The Gold - Eating Beast should not know that it has been contracted, so next, Master may have to have a good deal of trouble with the Gold - Eating Beast."
Feng Yuqin nodded helplessly. There was no better way.
Now the whole mountain was trembling, and the commotion was very big. The trees were all over the place.
Feng Yuqin felt that it was a miracle that she could still be alive in such a situation.
Xiaoying began to dredge Feng Yuqin's meridians with great difficulty. Because the demon cores it had absorbed before were still a bit short, and then it had consumed some power due to the mountain's trembling, the speed of the operation became much slower.
Xiaoying was right. The movement in the forest had already attracted a lot of people.
With such a big commotion, everyone thought there was a treasure in the forest, so many people were coming towards here.
Even Mo Xuanye from Yundian City had come.
Mo Xuanye was walking in front alone, followed by the city lord of Yundian City, Dongfang Zhi, and Feng Yi.
Dongfang Zhi looked up at Mo Xuanye in front and asked Feng Yi beside him, "What's wrong with your master? I've known him for so many years, but this time he seems to be more anxious than ever."
Feng Yi didn't answer but instead increased his power to the maximum to catch up with his master.
