All the judges outside the camera also noticed Yu Nian.
Xu Yufang said with a smile, "Young friend Yu Nian's performance is still very eye - catching. Maybe she'll be the champion of the semi - finals!" She paused for a moment, then turned to look at Old Master Fu and asked respectfully, "What do you think of this girl, sir?"
Old Master Fu's gaze slowly fell on Yu Nian.
This girl was young, but her mind was surprisingly calm.
The eight - trigrams formation was filled with thick fog, and it was easy for people to lose their way.
Unlike other contestants who panicked and rushed about, Yu Nian walked steadily towards the center of the formation without any deviation.
Xue Jinyan, an elder of the Xue family, looked at Yu Nian and then at his own family's Xue Yier, and sighed softly.
Although Xue Yier was also fast in searching for the center of the formation, she was often confused by the deliberately set fog in the formation. Her sense of direction and judgment were far inferior to Yu Nian's.
Xue Jinyan sincerely sighed, "This child is very remarkable. She will surely achieve great things in the future."
Old Master Fu showed no extra expression on his face. He seemed not to want to comment too much. He just said indifferently, "Not bad."
Xue Jinyan thought for a while and added, "It's a pity that such an outstanding child comes from a small sect like the Pure Heart Temple."
At the moment when Old Master Fu heard "Pure Heart Temple", he was slightly stunned. He seemed to recall something, and his face softened a lot.
"Is she actually a disciple of the Pure Heart Temple?"
........
Yu Nian continued walking forward. When she had covered about one - third of the journey, it was getting late. She found a pavilion to take a rest.
There was a supermarket beside the pavilion. Yu Nian exchanged some food and drinks and shared them with Xiao Qi.
Yu Nian leaned on the stone bench and took a deep breath.
"The air here is really good."
Xiao Qi twitched the corner of his mouth. He felt that Yu Nian was not here for the competition but for a tour.
In the camera, the sunlight shone on Yu Nian's face, making her look even more delicate and charming.
Xiao Qi had filmed many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry over the years, but at this moment, he unconsciously held his breath, not wanting to break this beautiful picture.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the forest, as if someone had arrived.
Fu Sui walked while constantly casting the Clean - Clothes Spell on himself.
When he saw Yu Nian, he was slightly stunned. Then he frowned and walked into the pavilion.
"You actually found this place before me?"
The moment the two of them were in the same frame, the bullet - screen on the live - broadcast exploded.
[Fu Sui is really so handsome! He deserves to be my male god.]
[The temple master and the big shot Fu met again. Will they fight?]
[I bet the big shot Fu will win!]
.......
Yu Nian gave him a cold look and said nothing.
Ignored by Yu Nian, Fu Sui's face darkened for a moment.
"I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me?"
Yu Nian calmly cooked the instant noodles with a fire talisman and buried her head in eating.
A gust of wind blew, bringing the aroma. All of Fu Sui's anger was instantly extinguished.
He had been in the car for a whole day and had been searching for the center of the eight - trigrams formation for so long. His spiritual power and physical strength were both consumed very quickly.
Fu Sui asked, "Our phones were confiscated. How did you buy the things?"
Yu Nian didn't even lift her eyelids. "I exchanged them with my compass."
Fu Sui:?
A soft "gurgle" sound came from his stomach. Fu Sui's face stiffened. He covered his stomach and took a step back.
Yu Nian looked up at him. According to seniority, Fu Sui was actually her junior - grandson. So she handed the ham sausage beside her in his direction.
Fu Sui pursed his lips, took the ham sausage, and stood there without saying a word.
It got dark quickly, and a thick white fog rose around.
Yu Nian estimated that there were still 18 hours until the end of the competition. She decided to sleep in the pavilion for a while and continue on her way at dawn.
Xiao Qi was also tired after a day. Hearing this, he was extremely happy. Just as he put down the camera, he felt a chill on his back.
A creepy crying sound echoed in the entire forest.
He turned his head stiffly, and what came into his sight was half of a pale and distorted human face.
Yes, it was the kind of human face that was in the process of being digested and corroded by gastric acid.
The next moment, a huge shadow covered them from above.
It was a huge monster surrounded by thick black qi.
It had a human face and a beast's body. Its body was flat, with long limbs, but its waist and abdomen were semi - transparent, clearly reflecting countless human faces.
Xiao Qi just took one look and felt his trypophobia kick in.
The monster spoke in a human voice and kept mumbling, "So hungry, so hungry..."
Yu Nian followed Xiao Qi's gaze and frowned. "It's a human - faced demon, a great demon from ancient times. It likes to eat humans. They often disguise themselves as humans in the mountains and forests to lure their prey."
As they were talking, the human - faced demon rushed straight towards Yu Nian and Fu Sui. Its scarlet eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, filled with greedy looks.
Its voice was hoarse. "It's the smell of food."
The human - faced demon suddenly opened its huge mouth, and several black qi rushed straight towards the two of them.
The scene was extremely chaotic. Amidst the rampaging resentment, Fu Sui's pupils shrank suddenly. He used all his strength to dodge to the side.
Seeing that the two had dodged the attack, the human - faced demon let out an angry roar from its throat. Its body arched in a strange arc and rushed towards them again.
Fu Sui continuously threw out two talismans. Unexpectedly, after the talismans burned, only a puff of green smoke was produced, and it didn't cause any actual harm to the human - faced demon.
The next second, a huge net condensed by resentment came from the sky and slapped Fu Sui heavily on the ground.
Fu Sui's face instantly turned deathly pale. He turned his head to look at Yu Nian, who was still about to step forward, and shouted, "This demon is extraordinary. You're no match for it. Don't interfere!"
But Yu Nian seemed not to hear his words. She stepped forward sideways. Her figure was extremely agile. The red silk threads dyed with cinnabar that were originally tied on her wrist seemed to come to life and flew into the air. Then they rushed out suddenly and gathered together one by one.
The red threads kept intertwining and weaving. Finally, they slowly formed a divine beast as big as the human - faced demon... It was shaped like a tiger or a leopard, but its head and tail were like a flying dragon. There was a pair of wings on its broad and strong back!
Xue Jinyan in the judge's seat suddenly stood up and stared at the divine beast in disbelief. "It has a single horn on its head that bends backward... This is the divine beast Pixiu?! She can actually summon Pixiu?!"
Xu Yufang was also extremely shocked. "Pixiu swallows all things without discharging. Is she going to..."
Only to see Yu Nian mutter a few incantations. Immediately, pure light emitted from Pixiu's body, looking both golden and jade - like. After giving out a solemn roar, Pixiu rushed forward and swallowed the human - faced demon in one gulp.
The red threads trembled slightly and then calmed down. They obediently returned to Yu Nian's hand.
The bullet - screen paused for a moment and then flooded in like a tide.
[It's so shocking! Is this really not a special effect?]
[The human - faced demon probably never thought that it would be swallowed one day!]
[Holy shit! Does this combat power really exist?]
..........
Old Master Fu's body trembled slightly. His eyes were firmly fixed on Yu Nian's face, with strong emotional fluctuations in his eyes.
Fu Sui hadn't recovered from the fight just now. He stared blankly and asked, "What was that?"
Actually, Fu Sui knew the answer but didn't want to believe it. He couldn't believe that Yu Nian could so easily summon an ancient divine beast that only top - level celestial masters could summon!
Yu Nian was too lazy to explain and just perfunctorily said, "String figures."
Everyone:......
