Chapter 750: The Purple Star Eagle
Xiang Yi nodded and said, "Daoist Master is observant. This Bone Lotus indeed possesses the power to ward off poison, but under the erosion of such intense poison, it will inevitably be affected. Once all the petals are contaminated, the treasure will meet its end and cannot recover. That said, there’s no need to worry; this Bone Lotus can hold out long enough for us to complete our task. It seems the Purple River Crocodile’s cry didn’t alert the beasts within the Purple Mist End. We shouldn’t delay. It’s time to move."
Within the thick Purple Mist, visibility was heavily impaired. Even their spiritual consciousness became corroded by the poisonous mist, making them too afraid to extend it for scouting.
In this environment, everyone felt a deep sense of unease. No one spoke; they advanced in silence.

This made it clear that Xiang Yi was leading them deeper into the Purple Mist End.
The forest grew increasingly sparse. The soil on the ground had turned purple, creating a surreal scene, yet Qin Sang and the others felt no relief at all.
Before long, they noticed something strange. Xiang Yi’s route seemed off. He had led them in circles more than once.

Xiang Yi motioned for silence, glancing left and right, tilting his head to listen. Then, a trace of joy appeared on his face as he pointed ahead. "Found it! Quick, don’t let them get away!"
The others also heard something faint. They were beastly cries, and quite a few at that.
Until now, they had been avoiding the creatures in this place, yet Xiang Yi was now actively seeking them out.
"These are small beasts called Purple Mustelids, the favorite prey of the Purple Star Eagle..."
