Mu Chen knew the dangers of the Black冥 Abyss, understanding that one wrong step could lead to death.
While watching the battle, he was also circulating his Spiritual Energy, remaining vigilant of his surroundings.
Just now, his ears twitched.
Buzz buzz.
A faint buzzing sound, almost imperceptible, drifted from the depths of the dark forest.
Mu Chen immediately thought of a type of low-level spirit beast.
Those were the Soul Devouring Bees, something that made people turn pale at the mention of the Black冥 Abyss.
The Soul Devouring Bees were only the size of a palm, and only had the strength of the early Spirit Movement Stage. However, for those in the Black冥 Abyss, encountering them was an extremely terrifying thing.
This was because they always moved in swarms, with thousands upon thousands of them appearing at once, sweeping over like a dark cloud.
And wherever they passed, even intermediate spirit beasts comparable to the late Spirit Rotation Stage would turn into white bones in an instant.
Even high-level spirit beasts could only temporarily retreat.
"Brother Yuan, Dad, there's a Soul Devouring Bee swarm!"
Mu Chen immediately shouted when he heard the faint buzzing sound.
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Mu Yuan and Liu Mubai's expressions change drastically, but even Mu Feng and Liu Qingtian, who were in the middle of a battle, stopped.
Their expressions shifted, and their faces quickly became solemn.
"Run!"
At that moment, Mu Feng and Liu Qingtian no longer cared about the other party, and without hesitation, they led their people, heading towards the Black冥 Abyss from two directions.
If they were entangled by the Soul Devouring Bees, their side might suffer heavy losses.
The two groups of people, who had just been fighting, instantly lost their killing intent and retreated separately.
"I'll spare your life!"
Liu Mubai dropped a cold sentence and caught up with the people from the Liu Domain.
"Spare your life? It's more like you've picked up a dog's life!"
However, the disdainful words from Mu Yuan behind him made his face contort with extreme rage.
Boom!
As they hastily retreated, a seemingly endless black cloud surged forth from the depths of the dark forest.
A buzzing sound echoed, as though the very air was vibrating.
Wherever the black cloud passed, the spiritual beasts were left as mere skeletons, their bones laced with blood vessels.
Perhaps the recent fierce battle between the Mu Domain and the Liu Domain had left behind a large amount of blood, instantly stirring up the Soul Devouring Bees' killing lust.
They immediately split into streams of black torrents, swiftly sweeping towards the fleeing groups.
In the midst of the escape, Mu Feng's group was scattered by the black torrent.
"Little Mu isn't as fragile as you think. Besides, Duan Wei and the others are with him. We'll regroup after we escape the danger."
Mu Feng immediately led the remaining men and quickly darted into the forest, staying far away from the ferocious Soul Devouring Bees.
Eventually, the group escaped to the edge of a vast black swamp, finally shaking off the Soul Devouring Bees and reuniting with Mu Chen's group.
This black swamp wasn't easy to cross either.
Because in the black mud, bubbles were bursting, emitting a faint poisonous gas. Even with Spirit Rotation Stage strength, one couldn't last long.
Moreover, beneath the black mud, there were crimson, savage beast eyes slowly scanning.
Originally, a domain master had suggested taking a detour to enter the depths of the Black冥 Abyss.
However, that would consume too much time. They hadn't prepared as thoroughly as the Liu Domain and would fall far behind them.
By then, the Nine Nether Bird would be in the Liu Domain's hands.
Finally, Mu Chen proposed a solution: use the Black Venom Crocodile's hide to make a boat and set up a Bewildering Soul Array on it.
This allowed them to safely pass through the black mud.
"The people from the Liu Domain haven't shown up."
"This doesn't match the plot. There's only one explanation: the Liu Domain suffered heavy losses in the previous battle and can't afford to deal with us."
Mu Yuan muttered to himself.
After leaving the black mud, their vision gradually widened and flattened.
Finally, the group arrived at a vast Black Basin.
The ground there looked as if it had been burned by fire, displaying a charred black color.
And what was most shocking was that the basin was filled with the white skeletons of spirit beasts.
In the center of the basin, a huge black volcano protruded, and at its peak was a sunken, dark area, like the gaping maw of a demon, swallowing everything.
"Brother Yuan, Dad, this is the place!"
Seeing that it was exactly the same as the place recorded on the Copper Fragment, Mu Chen knew this was where the Nine Nether Bird resided.
Unlike Mu Feng and the others, who were surprised and delighted, Mu Yuan frowned slightly.
Strange, I've already arrived at the destination, but why isn't the system giving a prompt?
Could it be that I need to reach the top of the Black Volcano to trigger the system task?
Just as Mu Yuan was pondering this, the Liu Domain team, led by Liu Qingtian, finally arrived.
"So this is where the Nine Nether Bird is?"
Liu Qingtian stared at the Black Volcano with fiery eyes. Then, his powerful Spiritual Energy surged, and his figure shot out like an arrow, heading straight for the volcano.
Behind him, Liu Zong, Liu Ming, Liu Mubai, and the others immediately followed.
Mu Feng naturally wouldn't let Liu Qingtian and his people succeed.
Thus, the two groups clashed again.
The sounds of fighting broke the long silence of this place!
Mu Yuan and Mu Chen exchanged glances, then without any hesitation, charged towards the peak of the Black Volcano.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Seeing this, Liu Mubai immediately chased after Mu Yuan.
He wasn't just trying to stop them from finding the Nine Nether Bird; he also wanted to avenge the blow to his face.
The three of them, one after the other, quickly leaped across the Black Basin and then approached the Black Volcano.
Along the way, the three of them displayed their individual abilities, and wherever they passed, waves of Spiritual Energy surged outward.
Within a few minutes, all three of them had descended into the bottom of the dim crater.
This place was filled with black volcanic rock, pitch black.
However, there was no sign of the Nine Nether Bird.
Liu Mubai also stopped making his move, also scanning around, searching for the Nine Nether Bird's whereabouts.
The bottom of the crater wasn't particularly spacious, and the three of them quickly walked a full circle.
But they still found nothing, which made them all feel puzzled.
Just as Mu Yuan walked to a large black rock that had been washed out by the volcano, the system's voice finally sounded in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for arriving at the Nine Nether Bird's evolution place. Check-in time is five minutes. Exiting halfway is considered a check-in failure!"
Mu Yuan's heart stirred, and he ran his hands over the black rocks one by one.
At the same time, the Copper Fragment he had snatched from Xue Tu also became exceptionally hot.
Finally, Mu Yuan locked onto a black rock about ten meters high, wrapped his fist with Golden Spiritual Energy, and then punched it hard.
Cracks appeared on the black rock, and then a wave spread out. With a loud boom, the huge rock exploded.
Afterward, a mass of light, as black as ink, quietly rose and gently hovered at the bottom of the crater.
"That is..."
Mu Yuan was stunned when he saw a black giant egg, about ten feet in size, within the light. Then, his face was filled with joy.
