Full speed ahead!

Baili Hongzhuang moved with incredible speed, and with a swipe of her Lulijian, she directly extracted the demon crystal from the Black Fox Mink's body.

Casually tossing it, the White Lion caught the demon crystal and immediately started munching on it, making crunching sounds.

"Indeed, this Black Fox Mink is much faster and stronger than the ones outside. Its speed and strength are exceptional," Baili Hongzhuang said calmly, her phoenix-like eyes shining with wisdom.

"The elemental energy in this small world is far richer than the outside world. These demonic beasts are constantly immersed in such abundant elemental energy, so it's not surprising that they are stronger than the demonic beasts outside," she continued.

A look of realization appeared on Xia Zhiqing's face. "So, the demonic beasts in this small world are even harder to deal with."

Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly. "It seems that we can't judge the strength of demonic beasts here based on our previous experiences."

For a moment, the expressions of everyone became solemn. They needed to be cautious in every step they took during their time in this small world.

As they continued their journey, demonic beasts appeared from time to time, giving them an idea of how many demonic beasts inhabited this small world.

Fortunately, everyone was in high spirits, and the strength of the encountered demonic beasts wasn't overwhelmingly powerful. They managed to defeat them after some struggles.

Among all of them, Bai Shi (White Lion) was the happiest. In this small world, demon crystals were practically everywhere.

After encountering several demonic beasts, everyone finally believed in Baili Hongzhuang's judgment. All the demonic beasts here were stronger than their counterparts outside and posed a greater challenge.

As they slayed the demonic beasts, they also noticed that the points on their identity tokens were increasing.

"The number of demonic beasts appearing during the day is already this high. If it were nighttime, the quantity of demonic beasts would probably be even more terrifying," Bai Junyu said with a hint of awe in his eyes. He finally understood Emperor Beichen's advice to seek refuge in the city during the night, or they would have no time to rest.

"We're lucky enough to be on the outskirts of the forest. If we were teleported into the heart of the forest, the situation would be much worse," Gong Shaoqing said calmly, his eyes filled with wisdom. "Let's speed up and reach the city as soon as possible."

Although they had previously gathered some information about the small world, facing it firsthand revealed more questions.

Baili Hongzhuang checked the map and said, "Our current position is not too far from the city. As long as nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely reach the city before nightfall."

The group smiled at each other and continued their journey, but now their speed had subtly increased.

While Baili Hongzhuang and her companions were on their way, other cultivators scattered throughout the small world were also rushing towards the city, hoping to arrive as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, Cui Haoyan and Zhan Yunfeng of Tian Gang Sect bid farewell to Emperor Beichen.

"Emperor Beichen, we take our leave," Cui Haoyan said, clasping his fist in salute.

Emperor Beichen looked at Cui Haoyan and Zhan Yunfeng in front of him. "I'll have Heimu escort you back."

Upon hearing this, Cui Haoyan waved his hand dismissively. "No need. We can gain experience on the way back ourselves. Don't trouble yourself."

"Yes, we'll make our own way back," Zhan Yunfeng added, nodding in agreement.
