Shen Xiang quietly followed the two little holy beasts, passed through a large forest, and entered a canyon. He saw many holy-armored mad lions here. When they saw the two little holy beasts coming, they all bowed down as if they were saluting.
Xiao Lizhi and the other captured people were tied up with ropes that seemed to be made of hair. The ropes were very strong and difficult to break free from. Moreover, if you tried hard to break free, the ropes would emit a glow. Several people on the road wanted to break free, but when they were discovered by the man, they were all killed.
So there were only nine people left in Xiao Lizhi's group, and they were all covered with wounds and looked very seriously ill.
"Is this canyon their lair?" Shen Xiang turned into a bird and observed carefully from a tree above the canyon.
At this time, several holy-armored mad lions turned into human forms, but they were not completely human. They had many animal features, with golden hair, a strong body, a tail, and golden armor on their arms and chests.
However, those who can transform into human form should be quite powerful, at least at the Saint Transformation level. The man and woman handed Xiao Lizhi and the others over to these mad lion orcs and were taken into a cave.
There are many caves on both sides of the canyon, some of which are very huge. This place should be the habitat of the Holy Armored Mad Lions. Shen Xiang saw many Holy Armored Mad Lions drinking water and playing beside the river in the canyon, and there were also many smaller mad lions.
Just as Shen Xiang was about to take action to save Xiao Lizhi, a golden light suddenly shot down from the sky, and the middle-aged man appeared here.
"Father!" the pair of little sacred beasts shouted immediately.
The great mad lion sacred beast that fought with Lv Qilian is back, and brings Lv Qilian with him!
Lv Qilian was covered in wounds and thrown to the ground by the big mad lion. He looked at Lv Qilian and said with disdain, "Humans are weak. If there were no restrictions, we would have dominated their world long ago."
Shen Xiang looked at Lv Qilian, whose body was covered with shocking scars, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Lv Qilian was defeated, and defeated so miserably. However, Lv Qilian was facing a Holy Armor Mad Lion King, so it was normal for him to be defeated.
"How many were captured alive?" asked the Mad Lion King.
"Nine...Eldest sister killed many women." The Crazy Lion Prince said somewhat unhappily.
"Hmph, if we don't kill these human women, they will confuse the men of our Crazy Lion Tribe and bring disaster to us." The Crazy Lion Princess was a little angry because her brother was blaming her.
The Mad Lion King said, "Okay, lock up this woman, and then heal the injuries of those nine people."
"Father, what use do we have for these weak humans?" asked the Crazy Lion Princess. She was very confused.
"Although they are weak, they are smart. For example, we have spent a lot of time to understand those mysterious formations, but humans are proficient in them. Keeping them will be good for us! But before that, we have to see if they understand the formations. If they don't, kill them. I will arrange someone to test them." The Crazy Lion King said, "They will only be useful if they understand formations better than us."
After Shen Xiang heard this, he was not so worried anymore. At least Lu Qilian would not be killed for the time being. She must be proficient in the art of formations, but the same cannot be said for Xiao Lizhi.
"Then go and test them now. If they fail, there's no need to heal their wounds. Just kill them or eat them." The Crazy Lion Princess looked at Lu Qilian on the ground and said viciously. If the Crazy Lion King hadn't been here, she might have killed Lu Qilian.
The Mad Lion King nodded and said, "But formations and other things require sufficient energy to proceed. Now they are all injured, so we have to wait until they are better before we can proceed. You will supervise them then."
Lv Qilian was taken away, but was locked in another cave. The mad lion prince looked at Lv Qilian who was taken away, licked his lips, and said with a wicked smile: "I wonder what it would be like to play with a human woman. I really want to try it!"
"Hmph!" The Crazy Lion Princess snorted coldly and entered a cave.
Shen Xiang originally wanted to take action to rescue them immediately, but now he had another consideration, because the Mad Lion King was back, this was a sacred beast, and the other Holy Armored Mad Lions here were very strong. If they were discovered, he would be in trouble, so he planned to continue observing.
"Go and check their treasure house. They shouldn't have things like storage magic weapons, so the good things they got should also be here." Shen Xiang said: "Be careful!"
"I get it. They are all holy beasts, and the food they eat must be delicious. Hehe!" Long Xueyi became inexplicably excited, and immediately used the Divine Wandering in the Nine Heavens to look for treasure.
Shen Xiang moved away from the canyon a little, hiding in a cave. He used the Divine Liquid of Creation that he had accumulated to make a large amount of God-Intoxicating Flowers, and then refined them into God-Intoxicating Powder. His strength was far inferior to those holy beasts, but if he used poison, it might be able to save his life in a critical moment. However, to deal with the holy beasts, a very large amount of poison would be needed.
"We found a place that leads deep underground. There should be something inside, but it's shrouded in a force and I can't penetrate the protective shield." Long Xueyi said.
"Is it something like an array formation or barrier?" Shen Xiang asked. It was already late at night. Long Xueyi had been exploring for so long before finding anything. It was obvious that the place was well hidden.
"No!" Long Xueyi said, "If we go there, it should be easy to enter. Although these mad lions are very strong, the formations and other things are very weak."
The Crazy Lion King wanted to capture humans alive in order to get someone to help them set up the formation, and they also knew the importance of the formation.
"Oh no, they're starting to take action!" Long Xueyi suddenly shouted.
"What do you mean?" Shen Xiang just asked and immediately thought of it.
"I don't know how they healed their injuries, but Xiao Lizhi and the others recovered quickly. We started to test their mastery of the formation. Several people had already died and were thrown out to feed the mad lions." Long Xueyi said.
When Shen Xiang heard this, he immediately asked Long Xueyi to look after Xiao Lizhi and make sure she didn't die. He put down what he was doing and rushed to the canyon. He was on the mountain beside the canyon, waiting for Long Xueyi's instructions.
"Xiao Lizhi has a good grasp of the formation. She passed!" Long Xueyi said, "It seems that among the nine people, only Xiao Lizhi can survive. The old mad lions in the mad lion tribe are quite proficient in the formation."
Originally, Hua Di and his group were the strongest and seemed the safest, but now Hua Di and Xiao Lizhi were captured, and the others fled. If Shen Xiang hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed such an outcome.
"Where is Lu Qinlian?" Shen Xiang asked.
"Her injuries are still recovering, and she is still in a coma. It will probably take a few more days. Xiao Lizhi hasn't fully recovered either. What are your plans now? Not only do we have to save them, but we also have to empty their treasure house. That's not easy!" Long Xueyi asked.
