A stone peak pierced straight into the clouds, like a crane standing among chickens, looking down on all the mountains. Around the stone peak, seven ridges sloped in different directions, varying in height and shape.

Xun Fang respectfully said, "Real Person, this is Savage Mountain. More than twenty years ago, I passed through this place and was relentlessly pursued by several demon beasts, so I took refuge in the mountain. There is a kind of spiritual herb in the mountain called Huo Leaf Flower, which is a Profound-grade spiritual herb that can be used to refine mana and break through limits.

"I was lucky enough to pick one, and I intended to continue searching, but I don't know where a group of hairy savages suddenly sprang out and surrounded me. These savages were two zhang tall, moved as fast as the wind, had thick skin and strong flesh, and were very powerful. Magic treasures couldn't hurt them at all. I used all my means and exhausted all my efforts to escape.

"Later, I came here once again, and this time I had several fellow Daoists with me, but before we entered the mountain, we saw from afar a giant with a terrifying aura standing on the top of the peak, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. We immediately fled."

Fire Crow Daoist nodded and said, "This Hengduan Mountain is truly a treasure land, with rich spiritual energy and many great spiritual nodes. It's a pity that it's occupied by the demon race. If it were owned by our human race, I don't know how many more Nascent Souls there would be!"

According to Xun Fang's suggestion, the group turned northeast and traveled nearly 500,000 miles along two huge mountain ranges, defeating many demon beast territories along the way, and collecting many high-grade spiritual herbs and low-grade Profound herbs. The dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators gained a lot and were all beaming with joy.

Fire Crow Daoist and Zhang Yuanjing, along with several other Core Formation cultivators, observed that the grade of the spiritual herbs nearby seemed to be one level higher than that of the demon beasts they encountered. This was not an isolated case, but was generally the case. Before reaching Savage Mountain, everyone had already made a judgment.

At this time, hearing Fire Crow Daoist's words, Qu Chongyi said with emotion, "What the Real Person said is very true. If it is really as Daoist Lin said, and the spiritual herbs in Hengduan Mountain suddenly increase by one grade, the strength of the demon race may greatly increase in the short term, and Hengduan Mountain will enter a troubled time from now on!"

Fire Crow Daoist and Zhang Yuanjing exchanged a glance. Both of them thought of the undercurrents within the human race cultivators in Hengduan Mountain. This must be related to the drastic changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Lu Xiangkun laughed and said, "Daoist Qu's worries are indeed reasonable, but this is not only a crisis for our human race cultivators, but also an opportunity. The demon race certainly gets the first opportunity by being close to the water, but there are hundreds of thousands of human race cultivators in the seven major cities of Hengduan Mountain. Aren't we all here to compete for a chance! If spiritual objects are upgraded, wouldn't that be exactly what we want! Lu is only afraid of not having opportunities, and is not afraid of danger!"

Xun Fang immediately echoed, "Exactly what Daoist Lu said, we cultivators only need to compete!"

The other Core Formation cultivators did not speak, but judging from their expressions, they obviously agreed.

Fire Crow Daoist waved his hand and said, "Since you all have this intention, then let's venture into this Savage Mountain. Everyone should prepare first."

Everyone was overjoyed, and bowed in unison to thank the Real Person for his consideration.

Fire Crow Daoist pulled Zhang Yuanjing aside and asked, "Yuanjing, do you still have any Meteor Dust?"

"Yes. Does Senior need it?" Zhang Yuanjing took out the Meteor Dust from his storage bracelet and handed it to Fire Crow Daoist.

Fire Crow Daoist said with a somewhat helpless expression, "When I refined the Ruin Universe Sword, I thought of using Meteor Dust to defile the opponent's magic treasures, or to injure the enemy unexpectedly. Now it seems that it is useful, but it consumes too much, and it will also cause some damage to my own magic treasures, which need to be repaired from time to time. The latter is fine, I know a little about refining tools, but I can only ask Yuanjing for Meteor Dust for now."

Zhang Yuanjing laughed and said, "Meteor Dust can only show its value if it is used. It's a waste to keep it in my hands, so it's better to give it to Senior. I will pay attention in the future and try to collect more."

Fire Crow Daoist thanked him, took the Meteor Dust, and went to refine his weapon.

Seeing that Fire Crow Daoist, with the power of defeating the transformed demon python, was still cautious and careful when facing the enemy, and did not hesitate to refine his weapon before the battle to enhance the power of his magic treasure, the Core Formation cultivators couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. They all carefully reflected on themselves and pondered how to maximize their combat power.

Fire Crow Daoist spent three days refining a part of the Meteor Dust that Zhang Yuanjing had given him into the Ruin Universe Sword, and then led everyone into the mountain.

The south ridge of Savage Mountain was gentle and broad, and was covered with huge trees with extremely hard wood. Between the trees, there were many thorny vine plants climbing.

There were many spiritual herbs in the mountain. Only a few hundred steps into the mountain, everyone discovered many spiritual plants. Some of them were commonly seen, such as the Nine-Leaf Yellow Dusk Grass, the main ingredient for refining Spirit Gathering Powder, while others were relatively rare. But no matter which kind, their internal aura was very pure, and they belonged to the superior grade in the same rank.

After entering the mountain for hundreds of miles, the forest became more and more secluded. From time to time, there were owl-like hissing sounds from afar, which seemed even more eerie in the silent forest.

"They're here," Xun Fang suddenly said.

Except for Fire Crow Daoist, everyone else followed his gaze and looked to the northwest, where the branches and leaves were obscured, and they couldn't see anything. Their divine senses didn't detect anything either.

After a few breaths, there was a "poof poof" sound in the distance, starting with one or two points, and soon overlapping into a piece, shaking the forest and causing the fat leaves to rustle down.

At this time, the Core Formation cultivators observed with their divine senses that forty or fifty "savages" covered in red or yellow long hair, with heads that were like apes but not apes, and heights exceeding two zhang, were rushing towards them from between the giant trees, breaking through the thick vines that blocked their way. Some of the vines were covered with sharp thorns, which pierced the savages' bodies, but could not pierce their skin at all, and were instead broken off.

These savages also had extremely long hair on their faces. Only their two eyes, as big as fists, protruded outward, and their eyeballs were blood red, full of murderous intent.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "I heard some fellow Daoists say that there is a kind of monster in Hengduan Mountain called Red Xiaos, with hairy red eyes, strong and powerful, fond of living in groups, fond of killing, and with a particularly sensitive sense of smell, able to smell the scent of living people and creatures from a hundred miles away. I wonder if this is that demon?"

Yao Zhanyi said, "I have also heard of Red Xiaos, saying that they run as fast as the wind and have very light feet, which seems to be different from these monsters."

Lu Xiangkun shook his head, "This is a group, and even if their feet are light and fast, the movement cannot be small."

The three of them spoke in a relaxed tone, and did not take the attacking monsters to heart. Although there were many of these savages, only ten or so were in the Demon Core realm, and only two had reached the later stage.

"Let's go, meet them. The place where these savages came from is a valley, or their nest," Fire Crow Daoist pointed his hand to the northwest and said in a deep voice.

Everyone's expression became solemn. Xun Fang stepped forward, his silver spear flashed in his hand, and he said loudly, "I, Xun, will be the vanguard!"

He tapped his feet, stepped into the air, his clothes fluttering, and went straight to kill those rampaging savage demons.

Qu, Lin, Lu, and Yao were not willing to lag behind, and each sacrificed their magic treasures, galloping behind.

When those savages saw this, they all let out a stern roar, their voices like bears, their appearance like madness, and their running speed suddenly increased. Their feet seemed to be born with wind, stepping through the air, and there was no longer the rumbling sound that shook the earth.

The distance between the two sides quickly approached. At two hundred zhang, the savages suddenly raised one hand high and waved it forward. Suddenly, dozens of differently shaped things, like green stones, smashed towards the heads of the five people.
