Chapter 385 Phoenix Ancient Tree

The others immediately looked around and discovered that many powerful and terrifying monsters had appeared one after another not far from them.

Some of the weaker members of the Wang family couldn't help but tremble and cry out, "Ah... demonic beasts... more demonic beasts..."

"That was a demonic tiger... It... it was several times larger than an ordinary tiger..."

"That's a wolf demon; its sharp teeth can pierce through low-grade spiritual artifacts..."

"That's a boar demon; its two tusks look like two top-grade spiritual weapons..."

Seeing these tall, mighty, and terrifying demonic beasts filled them with shock and fear.

If it were just one monster, they wouldn't be afraid at all, given their large numbers. However, there were probably dozens of these monsters, and only a few dozen of them were present.

In other words, if these monsters attacked them together, it would be equivalent to each of them facing a monster much stronger than themselves.

Long Jingyun's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but ask Lu Yang, "Master, what do we do now?"

Wang Xiaoman's gaze also fell on Lu Yang. Among those present, only Lu Yang had the strongest martial arts strength and was not worried about the attacks of these demonic beasts at all. Even she was a little scared, after all, there were just too many demonic beasts.

Lu Yang suddenly twitched his nostrils slightly, and a very faint scent mixed with many kinds of medicinal fragrance entered his nostrils, making him feel refreshed.

He learned from the information in the Dragon Ball inheritance that the Phoenix Ancient Tree was the dwelling place of the phoenix, which in itself shows that the Phoenix Ancient Tree was extraordinary.

Phoenix Spirit Grass grows on the Phoenix Ancient Tree. Moreover, the Phoenix Ancient Tree not only grows Phoenix Spirit Grass, but also several other kinds of rare spirit grasses.

What Lu Yang had just smelled was the medicinal aroma emanating from these several kinds of spiritual herbs.

His gaze swept over the dozens of demonic beasts around him again, and he immediately understood that these demonic beasts were probably not coming for them, but were attracted by the various medicinal fragrances emanating from the Phoenix Ancient Tree.

As long as they don't provoke these demonic beasts, they won't really attack them. At this moment, the minds of these demonic beasts are all attracted by the various rare spiritual herbs on the Phoenix Ancient Tree, so how could they care about them?

He immediately waved his hand and said, "Everyone, retreat quickly! Don't provoke these monsters, and they won't really attack us!"

After saying that, Lu Yang immediately led the way back the way they came, and then detoured to a small mountain peak not far from the Phoenix Ancient Tree, where they looked at a towering tree in the distance.

From a distance, this large tree looks like a real tree reaching to the heavens, its branches and leaves flourishing, its canopy like a giant hand supporting the sky, blocking out the sun.

The many demonic beasts that Lu Yang and his companions had encountered not long ago gradually approached the ancient phoenix tree.

However, they did not actually get within 100 meters of the ancient phoenix tree, but lingered at a distance of 100 meters.

Lu Yang's gaze quickly discovered that beneath the ancient phoenix tree, four terrifying monsters, each the size of a small hill or house, were already coiled in four directions.

A crouching, monstrous tiger, as large as a house.

A pig demon the size of a small mountain.

A demonic wolf with fur like steel spikes.

A gigantic black serpent, as thick as a water vat and over ten meters long, had a bulge on its head, making it seem as if it was about to truly transform into an even more powerful and terrifying dragon.

As Lu Yang looked out, the others also stood in other parts of the mountain to observe. When they clearly saw the four demonic beast overlords, their expressions turned deathly pale, and some even began to tremble.

Especially when they saw that huge black serpent, everyone couldn't help but feel their scalp tingle.

These people quickly understood why Lu Yang had told them not to provoke or attack the demonic beasts. It turned out that the demonic beasts weren't after them at all, but rather after the giant phoenix tree, or more precisely, the dozens of incredibly precious spiritual herbs on the phoenix tree.

Lu Yang activated his Yin-Yang Divine Eyes, and even from a distance, he could still clearly see that dozens of rare and precious spiritual herbs of various kinds were growing on some of the thick branches of the Phoenix Ancient Tree.

These spiritual herbs were enveloped in a misty spiritual fog, like a small array. Ordinary martial artists could only see the wisps of spiritual fog, but could not see what was inside.

Lu Yang's gaze quickly locked onto several wisps of spiritual mist, because they contained the Phoenix Spirit Grass he desired.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, for he discovered that one of the phoenix spirit herbs in the wisp of spiritual mist had a much stronger medicinal fragrance than the other phoenix spirit herbs.

After careful examination with his Yin-Yang Divine Eye, he almost couldn't help but blurt out, because although this Phoenix Spirit Grass was similar in appearance to the other Phoenix Spirit Grasses, it was more like a real phoenix, and its spirituality was almost ten times greater than that of the other Phoenix Spirit Grasses.

The location of this Phoenix Spirit Herb on the ancient Phoenix Tree was also different; it was actually at the top of the ancient Phoenix Tree. In his Yin-Yang God's eyes, it looked like a real phoenix about to take shape, spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaoman lowered her voice and pointed to the clusters of spiritual mist on the ancient phoenix tree, saying to Lu Yang, "Master Lu, the phoenix spirit herb you want is in those clusters of spiritual mist on the ancient phoenix tree!"

"Ten years ago, all the members of our Wang family who entered the secret realm suffered heavy casualties, with more than half killed or wounded, and paid unimaginable other costs, just to barely obtain a wisp of spiritual mist from the lowest branch of the Phoenix Ancient Tree and acquire a Phoenix Spirit Herb!"

Everyone else's gaze was also fixed on several clusters of spiritual mist, especially the largest cluster of spiritual mist at the top of the ancient phoenix tree.

Without much thought, they knew that the spiritual herbs growing in this cloud of spiritual mist were definitely extraordinary, worth ten times more than other spiritual herbs, or even more.

However, even obtaining the spiritual herb from the very bottom of the spiritual mist is priceless and a huge gain.

When Xin Yi saw so many clusters of spiritual mist and learned that a priceless spiritual herb grew within them, her beautiful eyes sparkled with an unprecedented brilliance.

In her eyes at this moment, these were no longer clouds of spiritual mist, but treasures of all kinds more valuable than gold ingots.

If it weren't for the numerous demonic beasts beneath the Phoenix Tree, especially the four overlord-like demon kings, she probably would have already rushed towards the Phoenix Tree, eager to obtain all sorts of rare spiritual herbs.
