Chapter 540: 540
Mo Wen did not have to worry that there was nowhere to leave the Flaming Dragon Colt now he was working with Yin Banshuang . He left it on the territory of the Five Beasts Sect and had the disciples of the sect look after it . There were not many people in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension who would dare to object .
Nobody knew how many experts from the Five Beasts Sect had come this time . They only knew that the big bosses had all entered the Tan Zi Beast Lair . As for what they were doing, not many people knew . The other ordinary disciples left were all working hard to collect the resources in the lair . To human warriors, this was a rare opportunity .
Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang entered the Tan Zi Beast Lair together .
The inside of the Tan Zi Beast Lair was like a dark world . It was very large and nobody knew exactly how big it was . There was no light in it, only darkness . You would not be able to see your fingers if you stretched out your hand inside . An ordinary person would not be able to see anything . But to warriors with deep cultivation, it was not an issue .
There were numerous monstrous beasts living inside the Tan Zi Beast Lair, and there were many different types of beasts . They were stronger in the dark than in daylight .
As such, human cultivators faced more danger inside the lair than in the forests .
Two figures wove through the darkness like two shadows . Their figures wavered and then disappeared, reappearing some distance away .
“How much longer until we can find the entrance to the second level?”
A dark figure looked at another dark figure in the darkness . The person who had asked the question was Mo Wen . They had already been in the Tan Zi Beast Lair for more half a day but were still walking about on the first level . From the outside, the lair might look like just a cave, but inside it was vast . Mo Wen suspected that the entire area beneath the ground of the Flame Barren Savage Lands belonged to the Tan Zi Beast Lair .
There were nine levels inside the Tan Zi Beast Lair, and it was said that the space grew smaller as the levels descended . The first level was the most spacious . If one wanted to go to the second level from the first, then they had to find the passage leading to it . There was no other way .
After human warriors entered the first level, there would often be those who had the ability to reach the second level but could not find the way to it . They would only be able to walk back and forth on the first level .

The first level was the safest, relatively speaking . Even a warrior in the Embryonic Breathing realm, should he be lucky, would be able to survive in it for a long period of time . Of course, this level of danger was relative . Actually, there was no definite safe spot in the beast lair . It was highly likely that a mid-seventh rank beast would appear there .
A mid-seventh rank beast, under normal circumstances, was comparable to a warrior in the intermediate Golden Elixir realm, and might well be even stronger .
“In the beast lair, almost every entrance and exit to the next level has powerful beasts lying in ambush . If you want to reach the second level, don’t just think that this is the first level, it is highly likely that one might encounter mid-seventh rank beasts, or something even stronger . As such, we have to be vigilant and find the safest path . ”
Yin Banshuang held a map in her hands . It was a map made over several hundred years by human warriors exploring the Tan Zi Beast Lair . There were some entrances to the next level marked on it, but many of these paths were fraught with great dangers .
There was more than one path to the second level: there were actually several . Many of the paths though were fraught with hidden and unknown dangers . There was almost no single path that had no dangers . As such, they had to find the path that was the easiest to pass .
Even with their extraordinary cultivation, Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang would still be afraid if they encountered a mid-seventh rank monstrous beast . In the beast lair fraught with unknown, anything could happen . They might lose their lives if they were not careful .
“Something’s coming . ” Mo Wen lifted his chin slightly and looked toward the northwest . A faint cold breeze came from there . All was silent around them . If their spiritual senses had not been strong enough, they would not have discovered it .
Yin Banshuang froze slightly for a moment . She followed Mo Wen’s gaze, confusion filling her eyes . Just as she was about to ask Mo Wen what he had heard, his expression changed dramatically and he whispered,” That’s a Blood Mosquito Bat . It’s a group of Blood Mosquito Bats . ”
Blood Mosquito Bats were the landmark beasts of the first level of the Tan Zi Beast Lair . It was almost impossible for human warriors to come to the first level and not encounter any Blood Mosquito Bats . That was because there were simply too many of them and they populated every corner of the first level .
A single Blood Mosquito Bat might not be any threat and a Qi Nucleation realm warrior would be able to get rid of it without difficulty . However, Blood Mosquito Bats were herd beasts . They would often appear in a group which ranged from a few hundred to at most, a few thousand . What was most terrifying was if one encountered a large group that could number tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands . Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would not dare to be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Blood Mosquito Bats . As such, a warrior would usually choose to escape it he encountered a large group of them .

“There are only about a thousand of them . Don’t worry,” Mo Wen said lightly .
He had only sensed something approaching at first . As the Blood Mosquito Bats neared, he could sense how many there were in total . With his and Yin Banshuang’s abilities, they need not worry, as long as they didn’t encounter hundreds of thousands of Blood Mosquito Bats .
“What a strong perception ability,” Yin Banshuang said, looking at Mo Wen . The youth’s perception ability was really surprising . He could clearly sense how many Blood Mosquito Bats there were even from such a distance . It had been the same earlier . She had not yet sensed anything but he already knew there were Blood Mosquito Bats approaching . It was a least a minute before she had sensed it .
Disregarding everything else, this sort of perception ability would multiply their chances of surviving in the Tan Zi Beast Lair .
“From the map, this path is the safest and we should not take another path . It’s just a thousand Blood Mosquito Bats . We can just kill them . ” Yin Banshuang frowned and then charged toward the group of Blood Mosquito Beasts . A thousand Blood Mosquito Bats were not much trouble . If they took an alternate path, they might encounter an even greater danger .
Mo Wen did not have any objections . He followed Yin Banshuang with leisurely strides . He did not have to use much effort when he was with a sassy and violent woman like Yin Banshuang .
There was a white light that seemed to be like light from the sun in front of them . Where the light flashed, the Blood Mosquito Bats fell from the air like raindrops . The White Tiger Divine Power had a terrifying killing aura . It charged and made a large path in the dense group of bats .
The two figures shimmered and they passed through the group of bats, flying far ahead .
“Found it . ” About an hour later, the two appeared before a pile of rubble . There were many craters on the ground and grass grew from the messy pile of rocks . A wide passage leading downwards stretched from the ground . It was so deep one could not see the bottom . The two of them looked at it but could not see the deepest part of it .
“According to the map, this passage is safer than the others . ”

Yin Banshuang’s gaze swept around and then she nodded . The first level was not a big deal . The issue was that the second level would be very dangerous . From the first to the second level, the danger would appear at the passage of the second level . It was likely that they would encounter the powerful beast of the second level there .
It often happened that some warriors would emerge from the passage of the first level and would get killed by a terrifying beast when he just got to the second level . If they were unlucky, they might even encounter a seven-rank monstrous beast .
“Let’s go down . ” Yin Banshuang saw that there were not too many dangers around them and prepared to fly toward the passage .
“Hang on . ” Mo Wen reached out and stopped her . Mo Wen had already waved his hand before Yin Banshuang could question him . A black light flew out and the spiritual weapon, the flying dagger, immediately shot out and into the tunnel at the blink of an eye .
Almost at the same time, a painful shriek could be heard in the passage . Following that, a blinding yellow light flew out from the passage .
Roar! It was a monstrous beast that looked as if it was wearing a mountain shell . However, it was larger than an elephant and was more than five meters tall . It more than 10 meters long and looked like a small moving mountain . Its roars were like sonic waves, causing the rubble on the ground to fly up .
“Seventh rank ground shell beast . ” Yin Banshuang’s expression changed slightly and she subconsciously made a startled sound . The beast was a ground shell beast, and it was a seventh rank ground shell beast . It was good at drilling underground or hiding under the earth . It was very hard to discover them, so they were also called underground killers .
She had not expected that the seemingly safe path would have a seventh rank ground shell beast hidden there . If they had not been careful and had not considered the possibility of such an occurrence, she would have been in trouble even in a situation she was confident in .
Mo Wen’s expression remained the same . After all, he had discovered that it was hidden in the passage long ago .
“You beast, how dare you try to plot against your aunt . I’ll kill you . ” Yin Banshuang was enraged . If not for Mo Wen, she feared that she would have been attacked by the beast . With her fiery temper, she really could not bear it . She leaped up on her long slender legs and flew towards the ground shell beast as if she were the true vicious beast and the enormous ground shell beast was a pitiful thing waiting to be beaten up .
Roar! The seventh rank ground shell beast looked up and roared . Its clear yellow eyes turned pink . That was how it behaved when it was angry . There were long cuts on the dark yellow scales of the ground shell beast . Blood flowed from the wounds and slowly dripped onto the ground .
They were the results of Mo Wen’s flying dagger . The ground shell beast had originally intended to ambush them but had been ambushed instead .
The ground shell beast was highly intelligent compared to other beasts . Otherwise, it would not have gotten the name “underground killer” . It was unlike other beasts that only knew how to fight and kill upfront . They were better at ambushes and assassination and often used their advantage to hide under the ground and attack when least expected .
It was impossible to know how many beasts and human warriors had been lost to the ground shell beast’s ambush .
The intelligence of a seventh rank ground shell beast was far superior to the ordinary ground shell beast . It knew that Mo Wen was the enemy who had injured him the moment it saw him .
However, Yin Banshuang had already leaped at it and did not give it any chance to look for Mo Wen .
Rumble Crash! Human and beast collided against each other, just like a meteorite colliding with the earth . A stunning storm rose and a large crater appeared in the ground .
With the use of the White Tiger Divine Power, Yin Banshuang’s height grew to more than three meters tall . She looked like a war goddess . Luckily, her clothes were made of special material and was extremely stretchy . Otherwise, when she used this power…
Mo Wen hugged his arms and did not participate in the battle . He knew that a beginner seventh rank ground shell beast would not be difficult to handle with Yin Banshuang’s combat ability . Since he could be lazy now he naturally had to be .
