Yi Yun was a bit alarmed. He estimated that he was more than 5 miles away from the herbal plant, yet he could smell its fragrance?
The unknown herbal plant grew alone in front of a mountain wall and gently swayed with the wind. The strange fragrance also diffused with the wind.
Similar treasures were likely to be protected by desolate beasts, so Yi Yun became extremely careful. As he was five miles away from it, very suddenly, Yi Yun’s heart froze. A feeling of extreme danger seemed to engulf him.
He jerked backwards and held his breath while being focused. He completely hid his presence and he seemed to become one with the rocks and trees around him.
He was prone down on the ground and he looked forward. He had felt something lock onto him for a split moment.
Oh? That is…
In Yi Yun’s energy vision, he saw a unparalleled powerful energy source that alarmed him.
And this terrifying energy source surprisingly came from inside the huge mountain.
Using one’s naked eyes, the huge mountain seemed to be covered in a brown plant. It did not seem to be anything special.
However, using his energy vision, Yi Yun could clearly see the actual body of this mountain.
It was…a extremely large desolate beast.
It had folded its four limbs and it was prone on the ground. It was like a huge turtle.
It looked like it was sleeping, but Yi Yun knew that it was not sleeping at all. The unknown herbal plant that resembled the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng was growing beside the desolate beast’s mouth.
Another desolate beast guardian? Every treasure on the second level of the God Advent Tower had a desolate beast protecting it, so how would cultivators obtain them easily?
Yi Yun had such a thought, but soon, he rejected that thought.
That’s not right!
Yi Yun saw that the unknown herbal plant was connected to a long vine. The long vine grew from the huge turtle desolate beast’s forehead, and it was hanging like a lantern.
Upon seeing this carefully, Yi Yun’s limbs froze.
Bait!
This “herbal plant” was just bait. If one went to pluck it foolishly, they would probably become food for the large turtle.
Yi Yun really wanted to curse. The first time he found the red lotus, it was protected by a flock of strange birds. Now, after great difficulty, he found a strand of a “treasure”, yet it was a death trap!
The opportunities on the second level of the God Advent Tower were fraught with dangers.
The test established in the Great Empress mystic realm was too difficult. If a cultivator was not extremely careful, it was practically committing suicide by hastily exploring this mystic realm.
However, the path of martial arts was fraught with countless difficulties. The number of geniuses who fell midway was too much to count.
The feeling of danger never went away. Yi Yun knew that this large turtle was not something he could handle. However, he did not leave. He remained prone behind a large boulder and he waited like a hunter.
