An hour and fifteen minutes ago, Yunhu, who had been instructed by Zhang Ling to wait where he was, paced back and forth, occasionally glancing at the location of the Crimson Wind Bird's nest.
A day ago, he had seen Senior Zhang and the Crimson Wind Bird fly away into the distance. A whole day had passed, and the senior hadn't returned, which made him anxious. Of course, he wasn't worried about Zhang Ling's safety, but rather had his own plans in mind.
He had also met several Golden Core experts. Although he couldn't figure out Senior Zhang's true cultivation level, that Crimson Wind Bird was a genuine Rank 6 wild beast.
Even a mid-stage Golden Core expert would probably waste a lot of time dealing with it, and a day wasn't a long time.
Yunhu thought to himself, 'Could it be that this senior couldn't defeat the Crimson Wind Bird and has already fled, or has been killed by the Crimson Wind Bird?' But the Crimson Wind Bird hasn't returned for so long, so it's very likely that they are still fighting.
Gazing at the Crimson Wind Bird's nest, Yunhu's face darkened. But after thinking for a moment, a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He patted his storage bag and took out a flying artifact.
A round disc was thrown into the air by him, and several magic seals were cast upon it. The disc flashed with a dark light and spun rapidly, turning into a disc half a丈 in diameter.
Yunhu swayed and stood on the disc, manipulating it with hand seals, and flew towards the Crimson Wind Bird's nest.
There was something left in the Crimson Wind Bird's nest that he couldn't give up, something that concerned his future path of cultivation.
Speaking of which, Yunhu was also a little helpless. It was the reward the Chen family had promised him for taking action, a precious pill that could increase the chances of forming a Golden Core.
If things had gone smoothly, he would have already obtained that pill by now, and might have already returned to Myriad Elephant City to begin his closed-door breakthrough.
The team assembled by the Chen family had a total of seven people. After they entered the desolate region, they encountered many dangers, and two people were lost along the way.
After arriving at their destination, they were even more unlucky to encounter this damned Crimson Wind Bird.
Only the Chen family's young master and he escaped. In fact, he had told a lie to Senior Zhang earlier. The young master had escaped with him, but was seriously injured and killed by him.
Encountering two Double-Headed Vultures was just his own experience.
He didn't find what he needed in the Chen family's young master's storage bag, and that's when he thought that the pill might be carried by one of the Chen family's elders, who had died directly in this wind bird's nest.
That's why he told Zhang Ling about the Profound Yang Fire, hoping that this expert could kill the Crimson Wind Bird. This was the only way to possibly obtain that rare pill.
As for the Profound Yang Fire, Yunhu didn't cultivate a fire-attribute technique, so even if he obtained it, it wouldn't increase his chances of forming a Golden Core.
Taking advantage of the Crimson Wind Bird's absence, there might still be a chance.
This was also a risky move. The team was attacked by the Crimson Wind Bird as soon as they entered the cave, and he didn't know if there were any other wild beasts inside.
Moreover, he had been implanted with a curse by this Senior Zhang. Doing so also had a high chance of angering this senior.
But facing the temptation of breaking through to the Golden Core stage, Yunhu couldn't care less. Taking advantage of this senior's fight with the Crimson Wind Bird, he might be able to obtain the elixir smoothly and seamlessly.
With a glimmer of hope, Yunhu quickly urged the flying artifact to approach the Crimson Wind Bird's nest.
After a quarter of an hour, Yunhu arrived at the Crimson Wind Bird's nest. First, he released his divine sense to explore inside for a while, but found nothing.
The divine sense coverage of a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator is about two miles. Exploring in one direction can extend up to three or four miles.
This distance was naturally not enough to explore the entire Crimson Wind Bird's nest. Yunhu hesitated for a while, but decided to enter it. He put on two layers of defense shields and walked in with a short spear magic tool.
Soon after, he entered the Crimson Wind Bird's nest. No wild beasts were seen around, only traces of fire energy floating in the air.
After observing for a while and seeing no danger, Yunhu looked towards the place where they had been attacked by the Crimson Wind Bird before, which was a pile of white bones.
Facing the pile of white bones, Yunhu's face lit up with joy and he quickly walked over. He began to rummage through the pile of bones. As long as he found the elder's storage bag, he could get the pill that he had been thinking about day and night, which could increase the chances of forming a Golden Core.
As he rummaged, a short while passed, and Yunhu finally found several human skeletons, but he didn't find any storage bags.
A look of disappointment flashed across Yunhu's face, and he turned to look at the human skeletons again. They seemed to be arranged neatly, as if they had been searched before.
Could it be that other cultivators have already visited this place? This thought popped into Yunhu's mind, and it was very likely that it was that Senior Zhang.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, what are you looking for?"
Just then, a clear and cold voice came from behind him.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Yunhu's back, and he turned his head stiffly to see Zhang Ling looking at him with a strange smile that was not quite a smile. Yunhu smiled stiffly and quickly cupped his fists and said.
"So it's Senior, that's great! Junior thought that Senior was dealing with wild beasts and wanted to do his best to help. I didn't expect that Senior has already arrived here. It seems that you have already killed that Crimson Wind Bird. Junior congratulates Senior."
Zhang Ling stared at the person in front of him with his eyes narrowed. His expression and actions were obviously lying, and he seemed to be hiding something. Zhang Ling's expression turned cold. He had just crawled out from underground and saw this person rummaging through the pile of bones, not knowing what he was looking for.
After thinking for a little, Zhang Ling also had some guesses. Either this person coveted the Profound Yang Fire, or he wanted to find the storage bags that he had collected not long ago.
Zhang Ling didn't think too much about it and directly took out those storage bags and threw them into the air. With his current strength, he was not afraid of this person playing any tricks.
Although Yunhu's expression didn't change much when he saw those storage bags, he looked at one of the storage bags a few more times.
Zhang Ling sneered in his heart and didn't say much. He directly grabbed the green leather storage bag and tossed it twice in his hand and asked.
"You are looking for this storage bag. Is there some treasure in it?"
Yunhu's smile froze a little more when he heard Zhang Ling's question, and he wondered how to explain it.
Zhang Ling had already made a move. A wisp of yellow light flew out from his finger like a snake, and instantly landed on Yunhu's body. Suddenly, his body was pressed to the ground.
Yunhu felt a huge force pressing down on him, and he couldn't speak for a moment.
Zhang Ling's movements didn't stop. After controlling this person, he pinched a magic seal with one hand and shot out several yellow spiritual powers. The spiritual power rotated a few times in his palm and turned into a cloud of gray-yellow mist that enveloped Yunhu.
Zhang Ling glared and a layer of gray light appeared in his eyes. Yunhu also stiffly raised his head and met his eyes.
Suddenly, Yunhu's expression also became blank.
