As the person's tenacious voice fell.
Gu Qianying and Bai Yulan quickly moved aside, their eyes warily scanning in one direction.
At this moment, mist began to rise in the jungle, and at the edges, layers of firelight could be seen.
Then came sharp cries.
The fierce intent mixed in these cries, along with several gusts of wind, madly stirred up the fallen leaves on the ground.
Four or five ugly-looking Ren-eating Beasts charged from all sides, their feet crushing the fallen leaves beneath them, transforming into a violent force.
With a rumbling sound.
The once peaceful mountain forest was instantly thrown into turmoil and began to tremble continuously.
A sharp glint flashed in Bai Yufeng's pupils.
As a burst of power erupted, he showed a cold expression, rose rapidly, and transformed into a streak of light in the sky, quickly engulfing the Ren-eating Beasts.
The two sides clashed.
The force of their struggle was so great that it almost shook the heavens and changed their colors.
"What exactly are these things?" Gu Qianying had never seen such monsters and, needing to conceal her strength, cautiously hid silver needles in her sleeves, vigilantly watching her surroundings, not daring to be careless.
Even Bai Yufeng couldn't resolve them in one go; these Ren-eating Beasts were no ordinary creatures.
Bai Yulan's spiritual power was already weak, and facing such a threat, she was trembling uncontrollably, unable to even summon the protective power at her fingertips.
Her face was distorted, and she said tremblingly, "They are Ren-eating Beasts. These creatures are extremely savage. If you are caught by them, you won't survive."
"So powerful."
"So powerful."
She repeated herself several times. Gu Qianying chuckled, "Don't worry, with your brother here, nothing will happen."
"Me." Bai Yulan pouted aggrievedly, feeling even more useless.
She mumbled to herself, "So, in your eyes, I am also a useless person?"
Gu Qianying did not reply, shielding the weak person behind her, and cautiously watching her surroundings, she answered in an extremely low voice, "I don't look down on you, but no matter what, self-preservation comes first."
"Okay." Bai Yulan's voice grew softer. She tightly clutched Gu Qianying's sleeve, facing the bursts of firelight, not daring to touch them.
Although Bai Yufeng's spiritual power was immense, this trial was specifically designed for the Shengyu family, and these Ren-eating Beasts were specifically designed to counter him.
He struggled to deal with them, yet he could not find a way to break through.
He could only continue to contend with them in mid-air.
The Ren-eating Beasts, unable to gain an advantage against Bai Yufeng, became impatient. They suddenly sensed two weaker beings beneath the ground.
The Ren-eating Beasts roared instantly, their spiritual power erupting and transforming into a lightning bolt, suddenly charging rapidly towards Gu Qianying.
Gu Qianying felt the oppressive force before her, a dark glint flashing in her eyes, and she quickly urged Bai Yulan.
"These Ren-eating Beasts are coming towards us. You have some spiritual power, can you create a protective shield to keep us both safe?"
Bai Yulan trembled all over, not daring to even lift her head, and said fearfully, "No, my spiritual power is too weak, so I haven't learned it. I'm so scared, will I really die here?"
Gu Qianying's mouth twitched, her eyes darting downwards rapidly as she quickly pondered a solution.
Bai Yulan was incapable, unable to even summon a protective shield in this emergency.
If this was the case, she feared she wouldn't be able to use Bai Yulan's power to drive away these Ren-eating Beasts.
Seeing the Ren-eating Beasts approaching, Gu Qianying gritted her teeth, quickly grabbed Bai Yulan's arm, and ran rapidly towards the edge.
At the same time, she shouted towards Bai Yufeng in mid-air, "The Ren-eating Beasts are coming towards us, Eldest Young Master, save us."
Bai Yufeng stood in mid-air, lightning constantly flashing around him, transforming into piercing blades that repeatedly struck the Ren-eating Beasts.
The power of the two merged.
In an instant, a white light rose from the heavens and earth.
Seeing this opportunity, Bai Yufeng unleashed his spiritual power, transforming it into a hurricane that rapidly descended.
At this moment, the Ren-eating Beasts that had just retreated had their spiritual power replenished. They swung their hooves and charged towards Bai Yufeng again.
"Ah!"
Stimulated, the Ren-eating Beasts' bodies rapidly swelled, like a mountain, blocking Bai Yufeng's path, surrounding him, and forming a formation.
Bai Yufeng, trapped within, felt the oppressive force around him, his expression instantly turning fierce, and he cursed.
"Damn it."
Meanwhile, at Gu Qianying's location, the hurricane swept up the Ren-eating Beasts and violently flung them towards the south.
With a screech, the Ren-eating Beasts fell to the ground again, their bodies nearly shattered, looking extremely battered.
Gu Qianying finally stopped, supporting herself on her thighs, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.
"This is deadly. Why are these things so troublesome?"
Bai Yulan was even worse off than Gu Qianying, having already collapsed on the ground. Her expression was blank, and she only said bitterly.
"This is a trial specifically left for the juniors of the Shengyu family. Every fierce beast is incredibly ferocious. We might die at their hands."
Gu Qianying was surprised, "Die at their hands? Isn't this a trial set up by your family? You can really die."
Bai Yulan struggled to support herself, her bones exhausted, creaking with every movement.
She took a deep breath, "In my family, those with weak abilities are not qualified to live. Like me, I am mocked by others every day, in a pathetic state."
Gu Qianying's eyes widened, finding it astonishing. This Shengyu family, in their madness, would even kill their own family members. No wonder outsiders were terrified and dared not speak a word.
At this moment, Bai Yulan let out a cry of alarm, pointing frantically behind her, turning to flee.
"This is bad, they're catching up! Let's leave quickly."
Gu Qianying cursed under her breath.
It was the same trick again. She shouted towards the sky, "Eldest Young Master, save us, Eldest Young Master."
But this time, Bai Yufeng was trapped in the formation, unable to move, and the sounds from outside were blocked.
Seeing no response from above, and the powerful forces causing the surrounding forest to tremble, Gu Qianying finally realized that they could only rely on themselves now.
The Ren-eating Beasts had clones within them. They transformed into multiple illusory forms, roaring as they went, completely blocking the path of Gu Qianying and Bai Yulan.
Bai Yulan screamed and huddled in front of Gu Qianying, filled with despair, "What can we do?"
"There's no other way." Gu Qianying sighed. If she continued to hide her strength, the two of them would likely be cornered and killed here.
With a determined resolve, she flicked several silver needles from her sleeve, accompanied by dark red spiritual power, transforming into a surging force from within, directly approaching the Ren-eating Beasts.
