Lu Li paused for a moment, then leaped up from the stone peak. He looked up at the golden war chariot above, examining it carefully.

The last time, the golden war chariot had been too fast and too high, and Lu Li had only seen a few golden figures. This time, he could see clearly, and after a few glances, his eyes became slightly entranced.

On the golden war chariot was a beautiful young girl, surrounded by four powerful warriors in golden armor like stars around the moon.

The girl was about sixteen years old, wearing a light green soft armor, holding a jade flute, with hair like a waterfall, a face like the full moon, a graceful figure, and an elegant and transcendent aura. From below, Lu Li felt that the girl was like a celestial maiden, surrounded by a group of deities who had descended to earth.

Lu Li was not unfamiliar with beauty; Lu Ling's face was so beautiful that it could topple a nation, so he had a high immunity to beauty.

Miss Yi was a pretty woman, but Lu Li was not particularly impressed. However, the beautiful girl above gave him a feeling of being completely captivated. Her beauty was not inferior to Lu Ling's, and her aura was even more elegant and unique.

"Huh? A bloodline mark, purple, a seventh-grade bloodline!"

Lu Li's gaze was drawn to a purple mark on the girl's neck. It was a small purple flower, very beautiful. A purple bloodline mark meant a seventh-grade bloodline. As long as this girl did not die young, she would definitely become a powerful figure in the Northern Desert in the future.

What puzzled him was that the four warriors in golden armor did not have any bloodline marks on their necks. Perhaps they had hidden their bloodline marks with special techniques, or they were not bloodline warriors.

"Hmph!"

One of the warriors in golden armor snorted heavily, and Lu Li felt a thunderclap in his ear. He quickly stopped looking and bowed, saying, "Greetings, honored lords. I am Lu Li, a guest of the Liu family in Wuling City. This is my identity token."

"A member of the Liu family?"

The warrior in golden armor glanced coldly at him, frowned, and asked, "Your family's warriors are stationed in An Ding Mountain to the east. Why are you here?"

Lu Li did not dare to lie and honestly replied, "I am on a mission to Hongyan Mountain, not stationed in Han Yun Mountain by my family."

"Hongyan Mountain?"

The girl, who looked like a celestial maiden, suddenly spoke. Her voice was as melodious as a lark, and she asked in confusion, "Why didn't you go through Han Yun Valley to get to Hongyan Mountain? Why did you take a longer and more difficult route?"

Lu Li smiled bitterly and bowed, saying, "Miss, the families in Wuling City are not very harmonious. I am alone, and it's easy for enemy families to assassinate me, so..."

"Oh!"

The girl nodded slightly, seemingly not interested in the story of Wuling City. She waved her hand, and the golden war chariot flew away. After flying for a while, she thought for a moment and warned, "There are many powerful mystic beasts nearby. You'd better be careful."

"Whoosh~"

The golden war chariot turned into a golden light and flew away. Lu Li let out a slight breath, feeling a bit of goodwill towards the beautiful girl.

Although she was proud and looked down on small warriors like him, at least this beautiful girl had a good heart and gave him a warning before leaving.

"What realm is this girl? What family does she belong to?"

The girl did not reveal her aura, but the powerful warriors around her had thick and mountain-like blood qi, indicating they were all top-notch warriors. For the girl to be able to travel with them, her realm must be quite high.

"Let's go!"

Lu Li shook his head, forcing himself not to think too much. Such a heavenly beauty was from a different world, and there would be no intersection between them in the future.

He continued on his journey, slowing down his speed and becoming more cautious. The girl had warned him that there were many powerful mystic beasts nearby, and an encounter would be a big problem.

Hongyan Mountain was two hundred miles from Han Yun Valley. If the road was good and he ran at full speed, it would take about half a day. Clearly, with his current situation, it would take him at least a day or two to reach Hongyan Mountain.

"Roar~"

After traveling for half a day, a deafening roar came from the left front. Lu Li quickly hid in a mountain ravine, listened for a while to confirm safety, and then moved to the right front.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Soon, a series of huge explosions came from the left front. Lu Li quietly observed and saw a warrior in golden armor fighting a mystic beast as tall as a mountain.

"It seems the girl and her group are here to clear out powerful mystic beasts."

Lu Li felt a bit relieved. With these powerful warriors patrolling, even if there were powerful mystic beasts, they wouldn't be able to wreak havoc. As long as he was careful, he should be fine.

He did not dare to watch and continued on his journey. After a few hours, a few huge roars came from the northwest as night fell.

"Find a place to spend the night!"

The night was more dangerous, and Lu Li did not dare to continue. There were too many mystic beasts in the area, and he needed to find a safe place to spend the night.

After searching for half an hour, he finally found a narrow and deep cave. It had a foul smell but no mystic beasts, indicating it was once the den of a mystic beast.

He blocked the cave entrance with stones, had Xiao Bai guard the entrance, and sat inside to rest and cultivate, continuing to unblock his meridians and accumulate mystic energy.

After cultivating until midnight with no disturbances, Lu Li fell into a deep sleep.

He woke up before dawn, sat in meditation for an hour, and waited until it was completely light before heading towards Hongyan Mountain.

After a day of travel, he had crossed over a hundred miles, and Hongyan Mountain was not far away. Today was smooth, and he did not encounter anyone or any mystic beasts. By the afternoon, he finally saw a huge red mountain in the distance.

"Indeed, there are many Red Phosphorus Eagles!"

Lu Li saw Red Phosphorus Eagles soaring and circling in the sky above Hongyan Mountain. His eyes became intensely hot. A Red Phosphorus Eagle egg was worth five hundred contribution points. If he could steal four or five, it would be enough to exchange for many broken mystic weapons for Xiao Bai to eat.

Finding Hongyan Mountain, he did not immediately climb it but circled around the base. What if there were powerful mystic beasts or hidden warriors on the mountain?

After observing for over an hour, Lu Li felt more confident. He only saw stone rats and Red Phosphorus Eagles on the mountain, indicating there were no other mystic beasts.

There were many mystic beasts on the mountain, so it was unlikely that any warriors were hiding, as they would have been discovered by the mystic beasts.

As dusk approached, Lu Li did not dare to enter the mountain. At night, mystic beasts would not be a big threat, but the strength of warriors would be greatly reduced. He had to find a place to spend the night and wait until the next day.

The night passed without incident. Lu Li cultivated all night, and the last meridian was about halfway through. If everything went smoothly, he could fully unblock it in two or three more days and form a divine sea.

"Up the mountain!"

Lu Li observed the area for a while, his face showing determination, and he quietly made his way up Hongyan Mountain.

His route was very concealed, moving through grass and ravines, his steps as light as a cat, to avoid being detected by mystic beasts.

His thoughts were too naive. After only a kilometer, a stone rat in a distant cave suddenly called out, and countless stone rats poured out from all directions.

"Chirp chirp~"

The Red Phosphorus Eagles on the mountain were also alarmed, and a large group of them took flight, rushing towards Lu Li. At a glance, there were at least a hundred, and hundreds of stone rats also emerged.

"Xiao Bai, it's up to you!"

If it were just Lu Li, he would be in serious trouble. This was only the first wave of mystic beasts. Once a battle started, several times more mystic beasts would likely swarm in. Lu Li's strength would not be enough to survive, so he called out Xiao Bai.

"Neigh!"

Xiao Bai leaped onto Lu Li's shoulder, looking like a king of beasts, proudly watching the swarming stone rats and Red Phosphorus Eagles. A mysterious aura emanated from him, and the stone rats and Red Phosphorus Eagles, which had been rushing in, became terrified and dared not come any closer.

"Great!"

Lu Li's eyes lit up. With Xiao Bai's help, everything became much easier, and the Red Phosphorus Eagle eggs were within reach.
