Chapter 936: Chapter 594: 18 Guardian Beasts, Solo Challenge_2

"Is this the Guardian Beast of the Ancient Tower?"

Lu Qing looked at those powerful figures and finally understood why Zi Xiao and the others were so afraid to speak of them.

Indeed, the aura emitted by these Mutant Beasts was overwhelmingly powerful, enough for him to take seriously.

Especially those closest to the Ancient Tower, the ones with over ten feet of stature, made him feel bouts of palpitations.

"Indeed, these are the Guardian Beasts of this place." Qin Zheng said solemnly.

As he looked at the two pools of blood on the ground not far ahead, a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes.

"That day, Junior Sister Qing Zhu and the others were defeated when the formation was broken by that two-meter-tall ape in the middle."

At this moment, Ye Qingzhu and the others also showed sadness on their faces.

Because those two pools of blood on the ground were left by Zhao Gang and Wang Ming.

Lu Qing’s gaze fell on the ape Qin Zheng mentioned.

On this plain, there were a total of eighteen Mutant Beasts.

Among them, there were two ape Mutant Beasts. The one Qin Zheng mentioned was the smaller one, standing over two meters tall.

Its arms were robust and long, with a body covered in steel-like black fur, except for a patch of snow-white long hair floating on top of its head.

As for the other ape, it was located in the innermost position, standing over ten meters tall.

It was entirely snow-white, and one of the three Mutant Beasts with the most formidable aura.

These Mutant Beasts stood motionless on the plain.

They didn’t show any reaction to the arrival of Lu Qing and the others.

It seemed as if Lu Qing and the others just needed to avoid approaching the Ancient Tower, and they wouldn’t take action.

After Lu Qing posed this question, Qin Zheng nodded and said:

"Indeed, these Guardian Beasts seem to be restricted by some kind of rule, attacking only the living creatures that enter their guarding area.

The three most powerful ones in the innermost area will only attack when you approach the entrance of the Ancient Tower.

That day we penetrated halfway through, and it was quite smooth initially.

But then, someone from the Gongsu Family accidentally stepped into the territory of some other beasts, increasing the pressure on us, leading to the failure of our formation."

"I see now, each of these beasts has its own area to guard." Lu Qing understood.

He felt that the space above had become stagnated to an exaggerated degree.

Just as he had anticipated, at this point, it was completely impossible to perform the Flying Skill.

Fortunately, when standing on the ground, the influence wasn’t too significant; otherwise, forget about storming the tower, even Golden Core Realm individuals with weak strength would find it difficult to move.

After understanding the general situation, Lu Qing activated his Superpower and looked at those beasts.

After a while, a sense of clarity flashed in his eyes.

"Eighteen beasts are divided into three tiers.

The nine outermost beasts are at the Initial Realm of the Golden Core level, the weakest.

The six middle beasts are at the middle level of the Golden Core Realm, powerful.

As for the three beasts inside guarding the entrance of the Ancient Tower, they are all powerful beasts in the latter stage of the Golden Core Realm.

And indeed, as Qin Zheng said, these Guardian Beasts are shackled by the Ancient Tower.

They can only guard around the Ancient Tower and cannot move freely.

Calling them Guardian Beasts is actually more like saying they are Puppets controlled by the Ancient Tower."

Seeing the numerous pieces of information emerging in his field of vision, Lu Qing immediately understood the origin of these beasts.

What surprised him even more was that these beasts also contained the Witch’s Primordial Blood within their bodies.

"Some people appeared on the edge of the Ancient Tower Plain; they are from the Qiankun Sect!"

While Lu Qing was observing those Guardian Beasts, quite a few people in the dense forest also discovered their tracks.

The matter of the Ancient Tower is significant, and there are always people watching.

Moreover, since they figured out that these Guardian Beasts would not easily leave the surroundings of the Ancient Tower, many forces chose to lurk in the dense forests at the edge of the plain.

So, when Lu Qing and the others appeared, they immediately caught the attention of the forces lurking nearby.

"Could it be that the people from the Qiankun Sect want to storm the tower, but didn’t they just suffer a crushing defeat a few days ago, losing several disciples?"

"That’s right, they even joined forces with the Gongsu Family back then, and they still failed. Now it seems the people from the Gongsu Family are not around. Do they really plan to storm the tower with their own strength? That’s too reckless!"

"You probably didn’t see what happened back then, right? That day, when the Qiankun Sect teamed up with the Gongsu Family to storm the tower, the Gongsu Family deserted on the spot, leaving the Qiankun Sect to hold the rear, leading to casualties for the Qiankun Sect."

"Such a thing happened? The Gongsu Family is indeed untrustworthy!"

"Nothing surprising. The Gongsu Family has always been unreliable."

"Even so, it is truly unwise for the Qiankun Sect to attempt another storming of the tower. Without top experts with Golden Core Nine Turns leading the way, they won’t pass those three beasts in the innermost area. Isn’t Qin Zheng only at Golden Core Eight Turns? He can’t protect his junior brothers and sisters."

"Let’s just watch and see. Maybe the Qiankun Sect has other plans. If they can chart a path for us, it would be great."

"Exactly, otherwise, we can only keep waiting and watching other forces gain opportunities."

"Look, the people from the Qiankun Sect seem to be taking action!"

On the other side, Qin Zheng was looking at Lu Qing in surprise: "Mr. Chen, what did you say? You want to storm the tower alone?"

"Impossible, Brother Chen, that’s too dangerous!" Xiao Jing shouted.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, we know your strength is exceptional, but these beasts are not easy to deal with, and with the strange nature of this secret realm, storming the tower alone is too risky."

Ye Qingzhu also tried her best to persuade.

"Mr. Chen should reconsider!" Zi Xiao said anxiously.

As for the other disciples of the Qiankun Sect, they looked at Lu Qing in disbelief.

None seemed to expect that he had such audacity as to dare to storm this dragon’s den alone.

"You all misunderstand." Facing everyone’s worried persuasion, Lu Qing said helplessly, "I merely said I wanted to test the strength of these outer Mutant Beasts, not storm the tower alone."

"That is also quite dangerous. These outer Mutant Beasts do not act alone. Every time, at least three of them will make a move.

Their Physical Bodies are exceptionally powerful. Even at the Initial Realm of the Golden Core level, our Taoist Magical Treasures can hardly inflict substantial harm on them.

Mr. Chen, if you enter and get surrounded, you might find it hard to withstand.

It’s better for us all to go in together; at least we can look out for each other."

However, Qin Zheng did not agree to Lu Qing’s proposal, and instead, he advised him.

"That won’t work." Lu Qing shook his head, "Miss Ye and the others haven’t fully recovered from their injuries; it wouldn’t be good to engage in intense combat again. If they get injured again, it would damage their health, making recovery even harder."

Seeing them still wanting to persuade, Lu Qing waved his hand: "I understand everyone’s concerns. But rest assured, I don’t have many skills, but I do have some methods to save my life. If I can’t hold on, I won’t force it."

"If I decide to leave, just a few Golden Core Initial Realm Mutant Beasts won’t be able to keep me here."

Feeling the determination in Lu Qing’s words, Qin Zheng and the others found themselves at a loss for words.

They realized Lu Qing had made up his mind, and further persuasion would be futile.

At this realm of cultivation, one’s Dao Heart is extremely resolute.

Once a decision is made, it is hardly swayed by outside influences.

"In that case, please, Mr. Chen, be extra cautious. If anything seems amiss, do not hesitate to retreat immediately. Once you exit the plain’s perimeter, those beasts will cease their pursuit."

Understanding Lu Qing’s determination, Qin Zheng finally could only say.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Don’t worry, everyone, I’m very wary of my own life. I would never gamble my life away. If anything feels off, I’ll make sure to escape faster than anyone else."

"Then we shall cover for you from here, Mr. Chen."

Qin Zheng decided that if Lu Qing encountered any danger, he would immediately step in to help.

"Brother Chen, be careful!"

Just like that, under the worried gaze of the Qiankun Sect disciples, Lu Qing slowly walked into the plain.
