Zhang Hao and the others followed the flow of people and headed towards the Iron-Desert Wasteland. After walking for more than two hours, they saw a bare mountain range in front of them.

Tie Yi also whispered in his ear, "We will be able to reach the location of the Ancient Sect's remains once we cross this mountain range. However, there are many demonic beasts roaming around this mountain range. Do not stray if you encounter any danger later."

Zhang Hao heard these words and slightly nodded his head. He looked at Liu Mu and said: "Be careful. If something happens, no one will be able to save you!" Hearing this, the latter curled her lips but didn't say anything.

Just as they were talking, the pockmarked man raised his voice in front of the crowd and said, "Everyone, we will cross this mountain range and reach the location of the ruins. Just as they were speaking, the pockmarked man raised his voice in front of the crowd and said," Everyone, we will cross this mountain range and reach the location of the ruins.

The moment he finished speaking, cheers broke out from the crowd, followed by people proposing to be the vanguard with him. However, most of the people still looked on coldly from the sidelines. After all, those who were able to come here were not fools. Naturally, they would not be moved by his words and work for him.

Just as cheers and applause rang out from the crowd, that pockmarked face cupped his fists towards the crowd and turned to head towards the mountain range. Following that, he saw hundreds of people following closely behind.

When the crowd saw them enter the mountain range, they also hesitated for a moment before charging in. In the blink of an eye, howls of beasts could be heard from the mountain range along with the miserable cries of some injured people.

Zhang Hao was mixed into the crowd. Just as he rushed up the mountain, he saw that the people in front of him had already started fighting with a group of magical beasts.

A two-meter-tall iron armored wolf rushed past a man and bit him on the head. Soon after, a bloody scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the man who had his head bitten by the iron armored wolf had only enough time to let out a scream before he was dragged into the beast herd behind him. In the blink of an eye, he was torn to pieces.

Tie Yi looked expressionlessly at the scene, and said to him, "This type of iron armored wolf's fur is as hard as iron, so ordinary sabers and swords cannot harm it. Tie Yi looked at the scene expressionlessly and said," This type of iron armored wolf's fur is as hard as iron, and ordinary sabers and swords cannot do anything to it.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao inclined his head slightly, looking at the people from the Qing-Yun Sect in the distance. "I will also go and take a look at these Iron Armoured Wolves and see just how strong the magical beasts are."

When Tie Yi heard this, he opened his mouth but in the end, he still nodded and said, "Be careful then."

He also knew that with Zhang Hao's strength, even though those Iron Armor Wolves were fierce, they might not be able to do anything to the enemy. However, by doing so, the Qing-Yun Sect was definitely holding back their strength. Thinking of this, Tie Yi couldn't help but frown.

"Clang." The fist collided with the steel armored wolf in front of him, and soon after, he felt a slight numbing sensation on his arm. Seeing this, Zhang Hao was also a little surprised in his heart. He was very clear on the strength of his body.

"Howl." After the Armored Wolf was pushed back by the punch, it raised its head and howled towards the sky before charging forward again. With a faint smile on its face, it stomped on the ground and explosively rushed forward as it suddenly kicked out.

"Bam." "After being kicked flying for another ten meters, the Armored Wolf immediately retreated with its tail between its legs." Hehe, I didn't expect you to be in such a good mood, and actually have the mood to play! "

Just as the Armored Wolf retreated, Liu Mu suddenly appeared by its side and beheaded the Armored Wolf behind him with a casual swing of his sword. Only then did Liu Mu smile and say this to him.

"Why are you here as well?" Seeing Liu Mu stand beside him and vigilantly look around, Zhang Hao also smiled and said. Then, he looked at the sword in his hand and asked: "Is this sword the low rank Totem that you bought at the auction?"

Hearing that, the latter pulled back her sword and said complacently: "Of course! This is something that I have spent a great deal of effort to obtain, of course I have to bring it with me. " Seeing that this guy was showing off again, Zhang Hao sneered and said, "Then don't let anyone else take it away. No one will help you this time."

Hearing this, Liu Mu let out a hollow laugh. He immediately saw the Spirit Treasure Sword fall from his hand and be put back into his storage bag: "That's right. There are too many eyes here, so it's best to be a bit more cautious!"

Seeing this, Zhang Hao casually sent one of the Iron Armoured Wolves flying back before asking, "Oh right, I still don't know how this spiritual tool is different from ordinary weapons. Tell me!"

When Liu Mu heard this, he was slightly surprised. He immediately looked at him and asked: "You really don't know?" After seeing the former shake his head, he then stared at him with a strange expression and said, "The difference between a spirit weapon and an ordinary weapon, as long as you're a cultivator, you know about this. How come you don't even understand this?"

Seeing him nod, Liu Mu gave him a strange look and said: "The biggest difference between this totem and an ordinary weapon is that the former can channel spirit energy into it, while the ordinary weapon cannot. The larger the amount of spirit energy that it can endure, the better the quality of this totem will be!"

After hearing this, Zhang Hao embarrassedly touched his nose, then ignored Zhang Hao's strange look and smashed the head of an armored wolf that was pouncing towards him with a punch. Zhang Hao heard this and awkwardly touched his nose, then ignored his strange look and punched the head of an armored wolf that pounced at him with a punch.

Liu Mu didn't think too much about it. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he looked at the corpses of the Iron Armor Wolves and smacked his lips. "If this was a Core Formation demonic beast, how good would it be? We would be rich today!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Don't f * cking dream about it here. There are ten or so Core Formation magical beasts here. We've already been swallowed alive, so how could you waste your breath here?"

Magical beasts at the Core Formation stage had the chance to condense a Magical Beast's inner core within their body. Although this chance was very small and the inner core could not turn into a Nascent Soul like a human's and would not change even after it reached the Mastery Stage, the amount of energy contained in the inner core would increase gradually as the time for cultivation increased.

A demon beast with the strength of the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, with its powerful physical body and the spiritual energy contained within, was able to compete with a late stage Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. This kind of inner core was something that cultivators loved and hated, whether it was used for alchemist to refine medicine or for cultivators to cultivate.

This also caused countless cultivators to die in their stomachs every year in order to obtain the beast core. However, under such temptation, there would still be a few cultivators fearlessly hunting demon beasts.

Just as Liu Mu heard these words and was about to dryly laugh and say something, an angry roar suddenly rang out from the distance. Right when Liu Mu heard these words and dryly laughed and wanted to say something, an angry roar suddenly sounded out from the distance.

"Ah …" The cultivator suddenly let out a heart-wrenching howl, then was bitten on the chest by the iron armored wolf and thrown into the beast herd at the back. Before he could even get up, he was rushed by the other iron armored wolves and torn to pieces.

"Gulp!" Seeing this, Liu Mu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He cupped his hands towards him and said: "The opponent is strong. Brother, you can leave first. Take care of yourself!" After that, without waiting for him to react, he disappeared into the crowd.

"F * ck!" Zhang Hao saw that this guy was able to escape so quickly, he couldn't help but curse and immediately retreated. He thought to himself, "I don't want to waste too much energy here. I should just let the others deal with him."

As this thought flashed through his mind, he retreated into the crowd and turned his gaze to the Armored Wolf from before.

At this moment, another three early Core Formation stage cultivators were killed by the sharp claws of the steel armored wolf. The thick, black fur of the steel armored wolf had already been dyed scarlet by the fresh blood, and waves of violent, fiendish aura was continuously emitted from its body.

"Howl." A roar that shook the entire mountain was suddenly heard from its mouth. When the surrounding Iron Armor Wolves heard this howl, they immediately became restless. Following which, they charged towards the crowd like madmen.

"That's the Iron Armored Wolf King, it's summoning another group of beasts. Let's retreat to the back." Just as Zhang Hao's gaze was fixated on the Iron Armor Wolf, Tie Yi suddenly came to his side, said something, and pulled him back.

"Rumble." Not long after the two of them had retreated, roars of anger came from the surrounding mountains, causing the entire mountain range to rumble.

Soon after, everyone felt a slight tremor start to appear on the ground beneath their feet. This tremor did not last long before they saw an endless beast tide surging out from all directions.

"We seem to have fallen into a trap!" Just as everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of this beast tide, Tie Yi's voice rang out beside his ear. Trapped? "What do you mean?" Hearing this, Zhang Hao frowned and asked.

However, Tie Yi's expression was extremely serious. Looking at the sudden beast tide, he slowly said, "Although these magical beasts usually attack humans in groups, they would never appear on such a large scale, unless …"

"Unless what?" Upon hearing these words, Zhang Hao's face turned grim. Tie Yi took a deep breath and said, "Unless someone deliberately provoked the Armored Wolf King, this definitely wouldn't happen."

Hearing this, Zhang Hao's eyes flashed. He then turned his head and started to search in the crowd. Moments later, he coldly laughed: "I didn't expect that we would be tricked by him. What a good move, what courage!"

When Tie Yi heard these words, he also thought of something and searched the crowd.

"There's no need to look for him!" Seeing this, Zhang Hao knew that he had also thought of the reason, so he said, "Let's think of a way to get out of here first!"

At this moment, Tie Yi clenched his teeth and nodded as he said, "I know that there is a small path here. Perhaps we can take a detour in front of them, but no one has passed through this path for a long time. I just don't know if there will be any other magical beasts."

"We can't care so much anymore!" Let's get out of here first! After Zhang Hao heard his words, he pondered for a moment before making his decision. At this time, Liu Mu appeared again from the side. Looking at the black mass of beasts in the distance, he asked: "Why are there suddenly so many? What should we do? "

He sneered, looked at the panicked crowd, and said: "What else can we do?!" "Charge out along with the stream of people!" Hearing this, Liu Mu nodded his head with a serious expression and didn't say anything else.

At this moment, there were already people rushing forward. With this person taking the lead, the others calmed down and quickly followed.

"Follow closely!" Zhang Hao looked at the surging crowd and immediately said this to Liu Mu beside him. Soon after, his body rushed out and rushed forward …
