The shape of the lava swallowing beast is similar to the giant lava beast that Xiao Ran saw in movies and games in his previous life.

The surface is a rock full of cracks, and inside the cracks is gushing and flowing magma. The magma contains protein, which is five times that of beef.

The last sentence is a guess.

But what is certain is that there is indeed a layer of gray mist floating in those giant abyss-like red eyes.

There was exactly the same gray mist in the eyes of the rams that besieged him in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

——Xiao Wu!

Isn't this the right time?

He originally thought that Xiao Wu would appear in the Sword Thorn Layer or the Sword Tomb, but it turned out that he appeared earlier than expected.

It's the same tactic again.

Just wait and see.

Xiao Ran discovered that Xiao Wu had never taken the initiative to attack him, but always waited for him to come.

Just like last time, it was Xiao Ran himself who said he was looking for the swallowing beast, and it was Chu Yan who pointed out the location of the beast.

It can be seen that Xiaowu is a passive person, and at the same time, he is also an old yinbi who likes to follow in secret.

Uh... will Chuyan be caught taking a shower?

If you think about it carefully, probably not.

In the world of cultivation, the Hidden One always only uses the minimum level of spiritual awareness to track the target's spiritual reaction.

I will not risk being discovered by the target and waste my spiritual energy to peek at an unimportant person taking a shower.

Will Xiaowu peek at me taking a shower?

This is really possible!

Explore your physique and communicate with hot springs to replenish your soul...

never mind.

It's not my fault that I'm a big kid, but it's your own fault that you feel inferior because of it.

Next, Xiao Ran fell into deep thought.

Every action Xiaowu takes is not to actively attack, but to passively find him.

Xiao Ran had several guesses in an instant.

First, Xiao Wu may be really afraid of the mountain guard formation and dare not attack in public.

This shows that Bo Yunzi may not be Xiaowu, otherwise he would maintain a mountain-protecting formation and have 10,000 ways to deal with himself.

But it's also possible that he didn't want to alarm the real person in charge...

Second, Xiao Wu appears so early, indicating that there may be big moves later, and this is just a small test.

It is also possible that there are countless pairs of eyes watching from the sword spine layer in front, making it difficult for him to make a move.

What is Xiaowu’s purpose?

kill me?

Take me away?

Or testing me?

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Ran suddenly found that he had no conclusion.

Fortunately, only three breaths have passed.

Xiao Ran grabbed Chu Yan, turned around and ran away.

Before Chu Yan could react, her small body was lifted up in the air and ran more than ten feet away.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Xiao Ran said quickly:

"To deal with this scum of the beast world, there is no need to argue with him about moral principles. Let's... escape together."

Chu Yan nodded, wondering if he had underestimated the strength of the swallowing beast before, so he ran away in a panic.

Thinking like this, Chu Yan used the escape method to attract the wind and ran faster.

Unexpectedly, there was a rumble in front... and it collapsed.

A huge boulder fell, completely blocking the way out.

Chu Yan suddenly panicked and quickly drew out his sword.

"I used sewing needle sword skills to make a hole in the boulder!"

Xiao Ran frowned slightly and shook his head.

"It takes too much effort to do this kind of thing with a sewing needle. It requires a big stick. Besides, there are hundreds of small swallowing beasts waiting for us behind the boulder. The surrounding area is also set up by the sect to prevent the swallowing beasts from escaping.

The barrier is really a good place to catch turtles in a jar!"

Chu Yan became more and more anxious as she listened, and quickly broke away from Xiao Ran's big hand grabbing her shoulder.

"Why are you still sighing? Call someone quickly!"

Xiao Ran glanced at it and thought about it for a moment.

Although the entrance to the cave is blocked and there are dense seals around it, it is still possible to forcefully call people using the second-level resonance method.

But in this way, wouldn't it be the same as that time in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, allowing Xiao Wu to gain insight into her own strength?

Last time, Xiaowu came to the conclusion after some operations in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts that there was first-order resonance.

Just now, Xiao Ran searched for resources like a carpet, and it was possible to complete it with first-level resonance and Chu Yan's golden elixir consciousness.

But if I could transmit my voice from here, I would definitely be suspected of second-order resonance.

Then Xiao Wu immediately went to the Black Ring Group and said:

[Xiao Wu: Xiao Ran, you have learned the second level of resonance power, it is so terrifying, you must change your plan and increase your efforts!]

(I came back here specifically to explain: This sentence is a scene from Xiao Ran’s fantasy, not something that really happened.)

Xiao Ran's scalp was numb, and after thinking for a while, he wanted to hide the fact that he had acquired the second-order resonance for the time being.

With this thought in mind, he did not break the stone, but turned around and said:

"It's better to go back and kill them."

"Um?"

The two of them immediately turned back.

Facing the swallowing beast again, Xiao Ran didn't say much and pretended he didn't see the gray mist.

Turning to Chu Yan, whose white silk stockings were trembling, she said:

"It's just a pulp-swallowing beast in the Golden Core realm. You can deal with it alone. It happens to be a test for you as a master."

"What?"

Chu Yan's legs stopped shaking all of a sudden, her innocent little face froze slightly, and her eyes were full of anger towards Xiao Ran.

At this moment--

Xiao Ran remained calm, secretly vibrating the air with first-order resonance, and whispered into Chu Yan's ear from close range.

There is no consciousness and no sound. It is integrated with the air and can only be received inside Chuyan's ear canal.

Even the gray fog can't be noticed!

"Shh... this swallowing beast has a mobile life gate. I will whisper its location to you at any time. You pretend not to hear and don't expose any flaws."

good!

Of course, the good word was not spoken out loud.

Chu Yan was very cautious and controlled, and even her eyes did not change.

Just when Xiao Ran spoke softly into her ear, her whole body was aroused, a warm current melted into her blood, and her ears turned red.

She thought to herself, no wonder even the master fell...

Men are too hateful. They use wave after wave of dirty tricks, which makes it difficult for people to guard against. It is completely unfair competition.

If this continues, in the war for her master, she will not only be completely defeated, but she will even fall!

I don’t want to inherit the sword!

With this thought in mind, Chu Yan drew out his slender silver sword with anger and shame on his face, and in a flash, he rushed towards the huge swallowing beast.

The battle begins.

Xiao Ran huddled in the corner.

Both are in the Golden Core realm, and the strength of the swallowing beast is much stronger than that of Chu Yan.
