Su Yi gazed ahead, feeling the eerie and creepy blood aura permeating the air. Even the surrounding vegetation was strange, all of them bearing a unique dark red blood color.
The closer they got to the mountain peak, the more terrifying the blood aura became.
Situ Muyang looked up at the sky and continued, "We better hurry. If we arrive late and it gets dark, the Wolf-headed Demon Bat will be even harder to deal with."
Su Yi was aware of some characteristics of the Wolf-headed Demon Bat, and he knew that it would indeed be harder to deal with the creature at night.
According to the legend, Wolf-headed Demon Bat can absorb moonlight as energy on moonlit nights, providing a continuous flow of energy, which is quite eerie.
"Jiahui, Zhang Qing, you guys should stop here, don't get any closer."
Su Yi spoke to Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and others, "I dare not take risks. Although the cultivation strength of Xu Jiahui and others has increased by a lot, it is still far from enough to deal with those Wolf-headed Demon Bats."
There was a slight pause in Su Yi's words as he looked at Situ Muyang. He said, "The nest of the Wolf-headed Demon Bat should be ahead, and the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree should be nearby. Let's go there together. If you're afraid, I can go alone."
"Both of us go together?"
Situ Muyang gave Su Yi a glance and went to the nest of the Wolf-headed Demon Bat with him alone. This must be said, it was a bit cowardly.
Moreover, at this moment, Situ Muyang also knew about the strongest Wolf-headed Demon Bat, but with the cultivation of the Peak of the Fifth Grade of the Demonic Spirit Realm, there must be more than one Wolf-headed Demon Bat in a nest of Wolf-headed Demon Bats.
"If you don't have the guts, stay behind. I can go alone."
Su Yi smiled and the Dark Golden Demon Falcon hovered low in the sky. With a gentle tap of its feet, Su Yi landed lightly on the ground from the back of the Dark Golden Demon Falcon.
"Brother Su Yi, be careful!"
"Su Yi, be careful!"
Zhang Qing and Xu Jiahui were worried and had to be tense, but they knew they could not get involved and would only make things worse. Staying far away was the best way to help.
Moreover, based on the understanding that Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing have of Su Yi, they knew that he must have some confidence; otherwise, he would not have had the courage to go there boldly.
Su Yi waved his hand behind him and walked forward confidently with big strides.
Looking at Su Yi's back on the back of the Dark Golden Demon Falcon, Situ Muyang's gaze became somewhat complicated.
"Why wouldn't I dare to go if you dare? I'm afraid you won't make it!"
Situ Muyang gritted his teeth secretly, then leaped off the back of the Dark Golden Demon Falcon and followed Su Yi's footsteps.
"So, are you not afraid anymore?"
Looking at Situ Muyang who followed him, Su Yi smiled slightly and said.
"I was never afraid, it's just the Wolf-headed Demon Bat after all."
Situ Muyang bit his lips lightly and then looked at Su Yi, hesitating as he said, "However, if things don't look good later, we must retreat early. Once surrounded by a group of Wolf-headed Demon Bats, it's really going to be miserable."
"Don't worry, it's just the Wolf-headed Demon Bat!"
Su Yi didn't seem to care, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart.
A pack of Wolf-headed Demon Bats, if my Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique can't suppress them, the consequences will be dire.
"Squeak..."
The two of them were completely focused as they approached the mountain peak ahead, and the atmosphere became so tense that they hardly dared to breathe. Occasionally, sounds of dried branches and leaves could be heard under their feet.
It was a flat terrain but an extraordinary one, as if the soil there was permeated with spiritual energy.
The surroundings were barren with no grass growing, but in the middle stood a fruit tree, about the size of a bowl and three meters tall.
The tree leaves were not lush green, but rather had a dark crimson color, and hanging on them were around forty to fifty fist-sized fruits, colored mostly green with a tinge of dark red. These fruits were crystal-clear, translucent and exuded a radiant luster.
"Dark Spirit Fruit, that is the Dark Spirit Fruit!"
Situ Muyang's eyes brightened. That was the Dark Spirit Fruit, a precious item in the Yuan Spirit Realm. By consuming a single fruit, its effects would be immense and could easily help him advance to the Yuan True Realm.
"Dark Spirit Fruit Tree!"
At this moment, Su Yi's gaze fixed intently on the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree, which held a staggering forty to fifty Dark Spirit Fruits. The quantity was truly astonishing.
"That is the Dark Spirit Fruit. Be careful, the Wolf-headed Demon Bat must be nearby!" Situ Muyang warned Su Yi in a hushed tone.
"How does this Dark Spirit Fruit taste? Is it sweet or sour? I can't tell."
Su Yi's eyes lit up, and he licked his lips, almost drooling. The Dark Spirit Fruit carried an intense aroma that filled the air and made him unable to resist its mouth-watering appeal.
"You should still be careful."
Situ Muyang gave Su Yi a glare, as he couldn't believe that Su Yi was more concerned about the Dark Spirit Fruit than the Wolf-headed Demon Bat. It seemed that he wasn't worried about the bats at all.
"However, it seems that these Dark Spirit Fruits are still a bit raw and haven't fully ripened yet."
Su Yi said, "These Dark Spirit Fruits still have a hint of green color, which means they are not fully ripe yet."
"You can still eat them even if they're not fully ripe, but their medicinal properties might be slightly weakened."
Situ Muyang said, "Although I am concerned about the Wolf-headed Demon Bat, I must say that I'm quite excited about the Dark Spirit Fruit as well. I can't help but feel a little greedy at the sight of them."
"Hula la..."
Suddenly, with a sound, a few dark bloody leaves of the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree in front of them suddenly came to life, soared upward, and spread their wings, transforming into a size of over three meters in an instant.
These "leaves" rose up into the air, with a wolf-like beast head sticking out, its eyes blood red and its appearance fierce. Its wings resembled those of a bat and were completely covered in dark bloody color that seemed to be saturated with fresh blood flowing over its body. Its whole being exuded a strong bloody aura.
"Ah-oooooo..."
The roar of the beasts sounded like a wolf howl, as six fierce and strange beasts suddenly appeared. Six pairs of bloody pupils locked onto Su Yi and Situ Muyang.
"It's the Wolf-headed Demon Bat!"
Situ Muyang frowned, his face changing drastically. It was the Wolf-headed Demon Bat.
Su Yi also frowned slightly, realizing that he had underestimated the situation. He didn't expect the Wolf-headed Demon Bats to be hiding on this Dark Spirit Fruit Tree. It seemed that no one could take away the Dark Spirit Fruit without alerting them.
"Ah!"
With a howl like a wolf, a Wolf-headed Demon Bat had already spread its wings and flew down first. Its dark red wings flapped, exuding a bloody aura and impressive momentum. With its teeth and claws bared, sharp fangs gleaming, it pounced towards Su Yi and Situ Muyang.
"Hmph!"
Situ Muyang coldly snorted. This was just a Wolf-headed Demon Bat of the Yao Xuan Realm level. Although it had reached the ninth level of the Yao Xuan Realm, it was still just a Yao Xuan Realm creature. He stomped the ground with his foot and using the wind attribute Qi in his body, his figure could briefly rise into the air. Then he directly launched a finger seal attack.
"Swoosh..."
The finger seal was brilliant, like a flash of lightning, and it landed on the wings of the Wolf-headed Demon Bat.
"Roar..."
The Wolf-headed Demon Bat roared in agony as a hole was pierced through its wings, and blood sprayed out. Its body swayed and it fell down to the ground.
"Roar..."
Seeing their companion injured, the remaining five Wolf-headed Demon Bats roared in unison, rushing towards Situ Muyang to surround and attack him.
