"Li, what's wrong? Another enemy attack?" Shi Chuan Kong asked, somewhat puzzled.

Crab Taoist also looked at Han Li, but said nothing.

Han Li didn't answer Shi Chuan Kong's question, but looked into the distance, towards a small hill a few miles away.

Seeing this, Shi Chuan Kong also followed Han Li's gaze and looked in that direction, his face even more puzzled.

Before Shi Chuan Kong could speak again, Han Li suddenly raised his hand and slapped the giant turtle's back shell.

Controlled by his spiritual power, the Void-Stepping Turtle immediately took to the air again. Its four legs slid in the void like paddles, rushing forward. Although its speed was not as fast as the Floating Birds, it was already quite fast.

When approaching the hillock a hundred feet away, Han Li immediately jumped off the turtle's back, crashing to the ground under the pressure of space.

However, he ignored the shock in his body and the uncomfortable feeling brought by the spatial pressure, and ran wildly towards the hill.

Seeing this, Shi Chuan Kong exchanged a suspicious glance with Crab Taoist, then jumped off the turtle's back one after another, chasing after Han Li's figure.

This small hill was only a hundred feet high. Halfway up the mountain, there was a hidden cave entrance about half a person tall. Han Li ran all the way to this cave entrance.

Shi Chuan Kong rushed up first and was about to say something when he saw Han Li had already bent over and entered the cave.

He frowned and hurriedly followed.

After he also entered the cave and passed through a low passage, he discovered that there was a completely different world inside.

The space inside the cave was quite large, about the size of two ordinary houses, and the dome was extremely high, with several large holes that let in the light of the sky, illuminating the entire cave.

Shi Chuan Kong glanced around and saw four strange-looking corpses lying on the ground of the cave. Han Li was squatting next to one of the corpses with his back to him, seemingly examining something.

He didn't interrupt, but walked forward to take a closer look.

Only then did he discover that among the four "corpses" on the ground, two were not corpses, but two wreckage of puppets made of some unknown material. Their shapes were somewhat similar to humans. Their heads had been smashed, and their chests had been punched with two large holes.

The other two real corpses were naked to the waist, and their bodies were covered with a dense layer of gray scales. Perhaps because they had been dead for a long time, the moisture in their bodies had evaporated a lot, making them look somewhat shriveled and hideous.

"This is..." Crab Taoist also entered the cave at this time, and after scanning the surroundings, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Should be the exiled remnants of the prisoners..." Shi Chuan Kong murmured.

"Shi, can you see anything?" At this time, Han Li stood up from the ground, clenching his fists, and said.

"Although there are two corpses and two puppets here, judging from the injuries on both sides, it seems that they were caused by mutual attacks. They should belong to two different camps." Shi Chuan Kong thought for a while and said.

"What you said is roughly the same as what I guessed. The reason why they fought here was mostly to fight for a person." Han Li said with a solemn expression, nodding.

"A person...are you saying?" Shi Chuan Kong pondered for a moment, then said in surprise.

"Yes, I found the veil left by Zi Ling." Han Li raised his palm and spread it out, and said.

In his outstretched palm lay a piece of black gauze, which was a woman's veil.

"Li, are you sure this is Zi Ling's thing?" Shi Chuan Kong said hesitantly.

"There is her blood on the veil, and I will never mistake this aura. The reason why these two prisoner parties fought was mostly to fight for her, and she should have been taken away by one of these two forces." Han Li said with a solemn expression.

"Judging by the appearance of these corpses, they should have been dead for a long time. I don't know when Zi Ling arrived here." Shi Chuan Kong pondered.

"It's impossible to judge this for the time being. When we passed by those islands before, we were exploring all the way, and we didn't find any traces left by her, not even a trace of aura. It can be seen that it is very likely that she did not enter the Scale Sky Realm from the Blackwater Domain entrance. Perhaps there are other entrances and exits in the Demon Realm." Han Li sighed and said.

"This is really possible. It's just that Madame Ju, that shrew, was willing to tell us the whereabouts, already giving Third Brother some face, but she was unwilling to reveal more inside information. I should have carefully questioned Xu Fu when I entered the Scale Sky Realm at the beginning." Shi Chuan Kong also said with a worried look.

"I've thought about this, it's useless to ask. If Zi Ling was really sent into the Scale Sky Realm through the entrance he guarded, would he dare to admit it after learning of our purpose? No, he would only hide it, or simply lie to protect himself, giving us more wrong information." Han Li shook his head and said.

"Fortunately, we finally have some clues now. As long as we find any one of these two forces, we can find out Zi Ling's whereabouts. This is good news." Shi Chuan Kong said.

Han Li didn't speak when he heard this. Zi Ling's injury made him a little worried.

"Let's go, since it is determined that she is on this continent, finding her is just a matter of time." Han Li put the veil into his arms and said.

After saying that, he took a big step and walked towards the outside of the cave.

……

Half a month later.

Han Li and his group came to a mountainous area with undulating terrain. The Void-Stepping Turtle, which could only float a few feet above the ground, could hardly move.

Helpless, Han Li had to release his spiritual control and let it go. They then began to trek on foot.

One day at noon, the three came to a narrow valley.

Han Li, who was walking in the front, suddenly moved his eyebrows and showed a look of surprise.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Shi Chuan Kong asked immediately when he saw Han Li's face.

Han Li made a silent gesture, and then moved his body and moved quickly towards the front left, while waving to let Shi Chuan Kong and Crab Taoist follow.

The three moved forward quickly and soon ran more than ten miles away, came to the top of a small mountain, hid behind a large rock, and looked towards a mountain depression dozens of miles away.

He didn't continue to approach, lest he be sensed by those people.

In fact, this distance was already very dangerous, but he had to do this to take care of Shi Chuan Kong.

I saw loud rumbling noises in the mountain depression ahead, and smoke and dust were rising everywhere. A fierce battle was taking place.

One side was a huge tiger-shaped monster. This beast was more than thirty feet long and seven or eight feet tall. Its body was covered with huge dark brown scales, shining with a cold metallic luster. The four scale-covered legs were also surprisingly thick, requiring two or three people to hug together. Scythe-like claws popped out from the huge paws, making people shudder.

What was particularly peculiar was that there were nine black bone spurs growing on the back of this giant tiger monster, like nine extremely sharp giant spears, looking extremely fierce.

The other side was seven or eight men. These people had very dark skin, and their skin was quite rough, but their bodies were unusually tall, two or three heads taller than Han Li. The muscles on their bodies were even more bulging, making them look extremely burly.

They were wearing rather crude gray bone armor, and holding white swords and other weapons, which seemed to be made of some kind of animal bones.

The giant tiger monster had a huge body, but its movements were exceptionally agile, tearing with its tiger mouth, pouncing with its tiger claws, and sweeping with its tiger tail.

The ground was punched out of large pits, and the aroused strong wind easily scratched deep marks on the nearby mountain walls.

Although the giant tiger monster was flexible, the lights on the bone-armored men’s bodies flashed, and their movements were even more amazing. Their bodies directly transformed into blurred gray shadows, causing all of the giant tiger monster's attacks to fail.

Compared with the movements of these people, the various attacks of the giant tiger monster appeared unusually clumsy.

Han Li's eyes flickered. The light spots on those bone-armored men's bodies were the Profound Aperture light.

These people had opened a lot of Profound Apertures on their bodies. The worst one had opened more than a dozen Profound Apertures, and the diamond-like black-faced man at the head had dense light spots, as many as fifty or sixty.

Moreover, the positions of the Profound Apertures opened on this diamond man's body were a bit special. In addition to the chest and abdomen, nearly half of the Profound Apertures were actually on the right arm.

"Are these the prisoners who were locked into the Scale Sky Realm? We finally met them. Should we go out and meet them?" Shi Chuan Kong said happily.

"These prisoners are not kind people. It's not appropriate to go out and meet them rashly. Let's see how the situation develops." Han Li pondered slightly and said.

Shi Chuan Kong's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he nodded.

Those bone-armored men surrounded the giant tiger monster in the middle, constantly jumping, dodging, and moving around. Whenever they had a chance, they would slash the giant tiger monster with the animal bone weapons in their hands.

The animal bone weapons looked crude, but they were unusually sharp. The scales on the giant tiger monster's body could not completely resist them either. Long and large wounds were cut out, scales were broken, and blood was splashing.

The giant tiger monster had more and more wounds on its body. Soon, its entire body was dyed red, and its movements were much slower than at the beginning.

It tried to escape several times, but could not break through the encirclement of the people, and it began to pant heavily in its mouth.

"Roar!"

The giant tiger monster let out a furious roar, and a pair of tiger eyes flashed with blood-red light, like two red lanterns. The nine bone spurs on its back trembled, making a buzzing sound.

"Be careful, this Sword Scale Tiger is about to use its ultimate move!" A bone-armored man shouted to remind.

"Just right!"

The diamond man at the head narrowed his eyes, and his body turned into a wisp of blue smoke and reached in front of it. A broad bone sword in his hand turned into a bright white shadow, heavily slashing on the giant tiger's shoulder blade.

The giant tiger monster's shoulder blade was immediately slashed with a hideous wound several feet long. Scales were broken, and large pieces of muscle turned outward, and blood gushed out like a spring.

The giant tiger monster screamed and looked at the diamond man in a rage. It let out a shocking roar, and the nine bone spurs on its back shook rapidly like a sieve, and then all flew out of its body and shot at the diamond man as nine black phantoms.
