Villain: I am not good at fighting.

The leader of the Jindan Sect personally ordered an inspection?

This is the heartland of Daoxuan Sect. Even if Hehuan Sect has the guts to launch a sneak attack, it is not worth it to destroy a worthless Holy Beast Mountain.

Or is it that once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years, and the leader of the Holy Beast Mountain has sensitive skin?

"Uncle Zhou, do you have this habit in the past?"

In order to get close to her, Liu Muqing deliberately called the head of the Holy Beast Mountain "Uncle Master". Her seniority in Luoxia Mountain was also high.

"No, it's not the usual case. After all, tomorrow is the Beast Taming Conference. Master might be worried that something might go wrong."

Zhou Tonghao thought for a moment and replied that his thought was that his master was more sensitive after the previous blow.

Almost all the foundation-building disciples in the sect died. Zhou Qi, the direct descendant, was originally at the foundation-building stage, but he suppressed his realm and went to Kunshan Secret Realm to train.

The result reported back was an accidental death, the murderer is still at large and no one knows who he is.

Afterwards, Zhou Sui seemed to have aged a lot. He had a short life span to begin with, and no one could withstand the series of blows.

Zhou Tonghao and his two fellow apprentices are now the most talented disciples in the sect and the last hope of the Holy Beast Mountain. Compared to the past, he is much less unruly.

Liu Muqing thought it made sense. The mountain protection formation was an external defense and could only restrict disciples from entering and exiting. It had no other special abilities.

Be prepared and stay steady.

"Brother Zhou, can you take me to see the ancient beast? I'm curious about what it looks like."

"This... strange beast is fierce and aggressive, and I am afraid it will disturb Junior Sister Liu."

Zhou Tonghao looked embarrassed.

"Junior Sister Liu just wants to take a look. She doesn't want to subdue it right now. With the two of us protecting her, how could it be dangerous?"

A flower-guarding angel stood up behind Liu Muqing and said in an unhappy tone, "Goddess, take a look at your stuff. It's not like you're losing a piece of meat."

"Brother Zhou, don't worry. I'll just watch from a distance and won't get close."

"Okay, follow me."

Under pressure from a first-rate sect, the small Holy Beast Mountain did not dare to be too tough. Zhou Tonghao pondered for a moment, then turned around and led everyone to the place where the strange beasts were imprisoned.

It was an underground dungeon, dark and damp. The two senior brothers considerately placed Junior Sister Liu in the middle, one in front and one behind, and provided warm sunlight for her protection.

Zhou Tonghao, who was leading the way, wanted to turn back several times to chat with Liu Muqing, but he could only see the hostile face of the senior brother in front of him.

“It stinks in here.”

Liu Muqing complained in a delicate voice, then took out a sachet and hung it around her waist. Suddenly, a strange fragrance stimulated everyone's nose, and the tip of their tongue felt numb.

"Since the beast was captured, it has never been tamed. It eats, drinks, defecates and urinates in it, so the smell is a bit strong. Junior Sister Liu, is your sachet poisonous?"

Zhou Tonghao took a wary look at it, then let down his guard. This thing is poisonous but not very toxic. Its main function is to repel other smells in the air.

"Well, the poison is snake saliva. I have diluted the dosage. At most, the tip of your tongue will feel numb. There won't be any serious harm. If you are worried, Brother Zhou can check it out."

Liu Muqing took off the sachet from her waist and handed it to Zhou Tonghao. Just as Zhou Tonghao was about to reach out to take it, he was stopped by the flower-guarding messenger.

"What's there to check? Even if it means I have to take poison through my intestines, I'm willing to do it."

"Brother Chen~"

Liu Muqing's voice was so moved that it trembled, but she was actually very angry. She cursed this idiot in her heart, "How could I poison him if Zhou Tonghao didn't do it?"

Snake saliva incense is a poison extracted from Xiao Hei's body. It is specially refined and will paralyze mortals all over when inhaled, while cultivators will at most experience a numb tongue.

Only the small black snake can mutate this toxin and poison the target, but the monk has a protective light shield and cannot be contaminated by the snake saliva if he does not touch it with his own hands.

The flower-guarding messenger was totally unaware. When Liu Muqing called him "Senior Brother Chen", his heart melted.

"Junior sister's eyes go where the elder brother's heart goes. The sachet is precious, so keep it well and don't let the pollution in the air hurt your spleen and lungs."

"me too!"

The other flower-guarding messenger sensed something was wrong and stepped forward to insert himself between the two of them, blocking Brother Chen's affectionate gaze towards Liu Muqing.

The two who had been chatting and behaving elegantly the day before now were now surrounded by a smell of gunpowder.

Zhou Tonghao retracted his half-extended hand, feeling a little embarrassed, but mostly speechless. The two senior brothers around Junior Sister Liu were really...

The two Qi-refining disciples behind Zhou Tonghao did not dare to interrupt the conversation between the Foundation Establishment cultivators. They took advantage of the gap to steal a glance at Fairy Luoxia out of the corner of their eyes.

Even with that damned mask on, she was still flawless.

Near the bottom of the dungeon, there came a series of long and distant snoring sounds that sounded like the roar of a train. The Barbarian Armored Bear was sleeping soundly.

Everyone walked out of the formation that imprisoned it, but it still did not respond and was sleeping soundly than a pig. Liu Muqing confirmed at a glance that it was undoubtedly an old grizzly bear.

Its fur was covered in blue and white stripes, its flesh was torn to pieces, and not a single part of its body was intact. It seemed that the Holy Beast Mountain had used many means to tame it.

Several iron chains as thick as buckets tightly bound its limbs. Sealing runes were engraved on the chains. The runes and talismans belonged to two branches of the same path.

Those sealing runes sealed strength and vitality, but the Barbarian Armored Bear was not really sleeping, but was using sleep to fight against this situation.

In other words, it was forced into hibernation, and when it was awake it would constantly be drained of its energy by the runes on the chain.

"Old Grizzly, Old Grizzly..."

Liu Muqing tried to call it in her mind, and the huge snot bubble of the Barbarian Armored Bear burst. It took a quick look with its nose and seemed to smell the scent of Xiao Hei.

But when it opened its eyes, they were blood red, and the pain from the wounds on its body made it go berserk instantly.

"Roar!!!"

It made a move to pounce in the direction where Liu Muqing and the others were, and the rattling iron chains rolled, pinning it down.

The light blue ripples formed a barrier, blocking the sound waves from the roar of the Barbarian Armored Bear. The water prison was a formation that was specifically used to imprison the Barbarian Armored Bear.

"Ancient beasts are like this. Once extreme measures are used, they will go berserk and attack everyone indiscriminately."

Zhou Tonghao looked at the Barbarian Armored Bear with eyes full of regret. Such a powerful beast could not be used by the Holy Beast Mountain and could only be given to others.

In Liu Muqing's mind, the Barbarian Armored Bear was so violent that it was impossible to communicate normally.

"The fate ends here. What follows depends on its own destiny."

There is Xiao Hei's scent in the snake saliva incense. When the Barbarian Armored Bear regains his sanity, he will be able to distinguish it.

Whether or not she could gain freedom and find her and Xiao Hei based on the smell was beyond Liu Muqing's control.

Come to see it in advance. The first plan is to poison Zhou Tonghao and let the two flower-guarding messengers help set up the plan, but it was ruined by the wise Senior Brother Chen, and no further mention is made of it.

Plan two, using his own special ability, secretly instruct the old grizzly bear to pretend to surrender to a foundation-building monk tomorrow, and then find a way to set an ambush and help it escape from the predicament with the help of both inside and outside forces.

Now, nothing can be done and we can only take care of ourselves first.
