251: Chapter 251 One Step Away, He's About to Transform into a Beast

Xuan Li was also shocked by the scene just now. He came back to his senses, nodding and then shaking his head, "Mistress, this is really hard to say."

"I'll go take a look." Feng Yange ran outside. A white figure flashed past, having already chased after it. Feng Yange ran to the cave entrance. Bai Jiuxiao and Ling Feng came back to their senses, "Mistress, do you feel any discomfort?"

Feng Yange looked at the swaying bushes in the distance and shook her head, "Did you see a vine go out just now?"

Ling Feng and Bai Jiuxiao nodded hurriedly, pointing together at the grass in the distance, "That vine 'whooshed' into the grass, and Zhushou 'whooshed' after it. It looks like they're about to fight."

Feng Yange was full of excitement and hurriedly beckoned to them, "Let's go, let's go take a look."

It was her first time seeing such an interesting vine. Could this vine have Cultivated to become a spirit?

Noisy sounds of fighting came from the grass. It sounded like a fight, but also like walking a dog. The leaves rustled. Feng Yange could only see the white figure of Zhushou flashing past, frantically pouncing and biting, with dissatisfied low growls.

"Zhushou's speed actually lost to a vine." Feng Yange found it extremely interesting, especially since it had been sleeping soundly in the cave before being whipped by the vine. Who could hold back from getting furious?

It was the first time she had seen a vine dare to provoke Zhushou.

Feng Yange was watching with great interest when Zhushou suddenly ran back, lying on the ground, puffed up, belly up. Its body was covered in whip marks, looking as if it had been ravaged, with a face full of despair.

Feng Yange squatted down and fed Zhushou some spirit spring water, "Zhushou, what's going on between you and that vine? Why did it whip you?"

Hearing Feng Yange's words, Zhushou started wailing, "Waah!"

"Master, that vine whipped me."

Feng Yange really couldn't help but laugh out loud; the scene was just too funny.

"Master, you're laughing at me. Do you think I'm not as strong as that vine?" Zhushou jumped up, its flab shaking with anger, but it was adorably fierce, and incredibly cute.

Feng Yange picked it up and stroked its fur, "No, I just think you're so cute like this. Tell me, what is going on? Why did it whip you?"

Zhushou recounted the origin of that vine. Because Zhushou had been scavenging everywhere in the mountains, it had somehow provoked that vine. The vine was cheeky, whipping it from time to time, walking it like a dog. The key point was that it was extremely fast and cunning; Zhushou missed every time it pounced and couldn't catch the vine at all.

"Master, I want to return to the space." The more Zhushou spoke, the more aggrieved it felt. It hadn't won the fight; Dark Spirit would laugh at it, and Dengdeng and Sword would also laugh at it.

"Don't be sad. Next time I see that vine, I'll help you beat it up. Go play in the space."

Zhushou entered the space, but it didn't dare to find the others to play; it couldn't afford to lose face as a beast.

Long Ze and the others came out of the space. Feeling that the atmosphere was wrong, they hurriedly asked, "Mistress, what happened?"

Feng Yange recounted the matter of Zhushou and the vine, including her three days of absorbing Spirit Stones. Only then did Long Ze and the others understand why they had been trapped in the space when they wanted to come out, as if it had been closed off, unable to contact the Mistress.

"Mistress, let us come out first next time. Fortunately, the vine had no malicious intent this time. If something happened to you, what would we do?" Long Ze's eyes were filled with worry. They had all been going crazy with anxiety in the space. Fortunately, the Mistress was fine.

"Alright, this was my oversight." She hadn't expected that she had only been absorbing for a short while, but three days had passed outside.

Feng Yange looked at them one by one, wanting to speak but hesitating, their eyes full of worry. She knew she had made them all worry this time, so she hurriedly changed the subject, her tone carrying a hint of coaxing, "The Spirit Stone mine is gone. Do you think we should find a place to rest here next, or go to the Second Layer Secret Realm for training?"

Yue Lan's eyes lit up, "Mistress, I have been checking the Sendai these past few days. Many of those Cultivators have gone to the Second Layer Secret Realm. Let's go too. When the time comes, let's see if we can buy the Secret Realm Beast inner core for the Third Layer Secret Realm?"

"The Secret Realm Beast inner core must be bought. However, shouldn't we find a place to Cultivate after we enter the Second Layer Secret Realm? The Second Layer Secret Realm is more dangerous than the First Layer Secret Realm." Long Ze's gaze darkened slightly as he looked at Yue Lan, "You should have checked; a beast at the Spirit God Realm has appeared in the Second Layer Secret Realm."

Feng Yange looked at Yue Lan and saw him nod. Feng Yange reined in her smile and said seriously, "Then we must find a place to Cultivate; otherwise, if we encounter a Spirit God Realm beast, we will be in great danger."

Although her Cultivation Bottleneck had loosened, she had absorbed so much Spiritual Qi but still hadn't reached the Spirit Saint Realm. She couldn't take the risk. Moreover, their strength hadn't fully recovered. If they were discovered by the Upper Realm, they might not have the power to fight.

"Then shall we enter the Second Layer Secret Realm now?"

Bai Jiuxiao watched Feng Yange take out the beast inner cores and hurriedly stepped forward to take one, feeling a bit nervous but very excited.

Feng Yange distributed the beast inner cores to them, watching Mo Yuan and Jun Chen, who were silent, "Do you two have any other opinions?"

Mo Yuan looked up, his eyes filled with unconcealable worry, "Mistress, I feel that I will meet people from the Upper Realm in this Secret Realm."

"Mistress, what if they come..."

Jun Chen's worried words were cut off by Feng Yange before he could finish. She looked at Jun Chen and Mo Yuan and said seriously, "Don't overthink it. If we really meet people from the Upper Realm, we'll use force instead of reasoning. Anyway, we are all a family together; if we can't beat them, we'll run."

Jun Chen looked at the others and saw them nodding, all agreeing. Only then did his hanging heart settle slightly.

"Then we will go to the Second Layer Secret Realm. We don't know what the situation is like in the Second Layer, so we will meet up immediately after landing. Do not linger in battle." After Feng Yange finished giving instructions, she looked at the beast inner cores in their hands and suddenly thought of Li Mingye in the space, "Li Mingye hasn't taken a beast inner core yet; we must call him."

"Mistress, I'll go find him."

Long Ze entered the space and soon brought Li Mingye out. Seeing Feng Yange, Li Mingye hurriedly greeted her. The aura on his body had changed, and everyone was dumbfounded.

"You've reached the Peak of Spirit Venerable Realm?"

Li Mingye nodded, "Still couldn't Breakthrough."

"Your Cultivation speed is simply inhuman." Bai Jiuxiao felt that he was about to be at the bottom. Xuan Li and Ling Feng didn't look like they were working hard, yet their strength was soaring. Mo Yuan and Jun Chen recovered their strength every time they absorbed a bead, and Cang Yan and Yun Lin were the same. Their innate strength was Heaven-Defying. Only he, a pure little fox, was left behind.

Li Mingye's gaze darkened, "I want to undergo Beastification quickly. I want to stay by Mistress's side forever." No one knew how much pressure he felt standing with a group of beasts. He couldn't compare to them in anything; the only thing he could do was join them.

Beastification was what he wanted most right now. Yue Lan had said that as long as he reached the Spirit Saint Realm, he could take the black tortoise inner core and undergo Beastification into a black tortoise Divine Beast.
