Along the way, Tang Ao became even more careful than before.

Perhaps it was because of the great battle just now, but the number of strange beasts in the surrounding area had also become sparse. It seemed that they had all fled far away, and would not be able to return for a while!

"We've finally arrived!"

As he slowly and cautiously moved forward through the forest, Tang Ao released his divine sense to observe his surroundings.

He recalled that the phoenix egg that Wang Lin mentioned was found in this group of forbidden zone of life! However, at this moment, when he looked over, let alone an egg, he didn't even see a single bird feather.

Tang Ao was not anxious at all. He knew that this kind of rare and precious resource could not be obtained just by thinking about it. No one knew how big of a risk the inner disciple had taken to get this egg.

There were no dangers along the way. While Tang Ao was searching for resources, he was also guarding against the giant ape that was hiding somewhere.

Without a sound, Tang Ao felt a great pressure, this pressure came from the fear of unknown strength in his heart.

forbidden zone of life's vicious reputation had spread far and wide, and it had long ago not been a matter of a year or so. The formation of every restricted region required a long period of time to accumulate. Otherwise, if there was even the slightest danger, then people would call it a restricted region. It would be meaningless!

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a voice from not too far away woke Tang Ao up, he anxiously hid himself and hid in a bush.

"Senior brother, do you think this forbidden zone of life is really that scary?"

"That's right, Senior Brother. No matter how I see it, it's not that big of a deal!"

"Let's not even talk about berserk beasts along the way. We didn't even see any bird feathers, so how could it be as scary as the elders say? I think they just wanted us to be on guard, and they just randomly came up with an excuse to trick us!"

"All of you, shut up!" A deep voice stopped a few impatient voices.

"What do you know? This forbidden zone of life has a giant ape whose cultivation is extremely powerful. Even The Origin Martial realm experts would die if they saw it, so you small fries don't even have enough strength to fill the gaps between its teeth! "

"No way!"

Instantly, the discussion gradually died down.

Hiding within the bushes, Tang Ao looked through the gaps in the forest. From afar, four or five figures walked over.

All of these people were young people around the age of twenty-one or twenty-two. Their clothes did not belong to Seven Killing Sect.

Tang Ao did not dare make a move, he quietly watched from the bushes, and took the chance to do what he wanted.

"There are indeed no strange beasts around here. It seems like they have been scared off by that inexplicable big battle!"

"I think so too. Although I didn't see it, from the sound of the battle, I can feel that it must have been extremely exciting. It's such a pity that I missed out on such a wonderful scene!"

Hearing the words of one of their disciples, Tang Ao's forehead was filled with black lines as he thought to himself: I'm about to be scared to death, yet you guys actually didn't see it, it's truly a newborn calf that isn't afraid of a tiger!

"We haven't found any rare resources yet. Let's find somewhere else to check!"

After the voice faded away, Tang Ao finally walked over from the bushes. He looked in the direction of the people and muttered to himself: "These people should be disciples of the sects, but which sect are they from?"

Through their attire, Tang Ao discovered that they were not members of the Seven Killing Sect, because they were all unfamiliar faces. Furthermore, their strength was not very deep, and they definitely could not enter the inner sect.

After sensing that he was not the only one who was scouting the area, Tang Ao became even more cautious.

The few youths just now walked eastward. Tang Ao hesitated for a bit, but didn't choose to walk in the same direction as them. Furthermore, he continued to walk towards the north.

Sure enough, after walking forward for another few hundred meters, Tang Ao saw a towering tree not far away. On a thick branch, there was a huge bird's nest, only that it had been abandoned a long time ago.

Tang Ao's sharp senses probed further, and discovered that the bird's nest actually contained traces of a weak Phoenix's aura. Even though it was extremely weak, it was still detected by him!

"An abandoned phoenix nest!" cried out. Not only did he remember the disciple from Seven Annihilations Sect Inner Court who had obtained the phoenix egg, he also felt that that person could have obtained it from here!

Tang Ao climbed up the tree and looked at the empty lair, there was nothing left behind. Not only was he regretful, even if there were any, they would all have been taken care of by that disciple.

Without any hesitation, Tang Ao headed towards the north again.

This time, after walking for more than 500 meters, he finally saw something strange.

In front of him, there was a pile of scales that were especially large. Each scale was about the size of an adult's palm and they would occasionally emit a faint glow. It was likely that they had just fallen off not too long ago.

Tang Ao observed his surroundings. After discovering that there was no danger, he carefully walked over and picked up a scale.

The moment the scale entered his hand, Tang Ao immediately felt a chill down his spine, it seemed to contain a very weak fluctuation of True Essence.

"The scales of the giant python!"

Tang Ao's pupils contracted drastically as he realized what kind of wild beast dropped the scales on his hand.

Looking at the scale that was even larger than his palm, Tang Ao was not only shocked, how big of a python would this be to have such astonishing scales!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Tang Ao noticed the scales below his feet, there were traces of blood on them, some scales even had cracks on them, broken upon touching.

Tang Ao guessed that this giant python must have suffered from a huge battle and its body was struck by its opponent. Its iron-like scales could not resist and fell to the ground.

Looking at the undried up blood on the scales, Tang Ao's heart sank.

Looking at the remaining True Essence undulations on the scales, Tang Ao felt that the strength of this enormous python was far higher than that of the Firebird s, and even a little stronger than them.

Not only did he start to worry, the fact that these bloodstains had yet to dry up undoubtedly meant that they had not gone far since the battle!

"Looks like I have to be extra careful. This forbidden zone of life is truly filled with danger! " Tang Ao said to himself, then threw away the scale in his hand.

Although the smell of blood and the fluctuations of true essence on these scales were very weak, a powerful vicious beast could still smell them.
