"Hur hur, it's fine." Han Chen laughed generously, his gaze looking at the battle in front. The little monkey and Xin Lan were in charge of assisting from the side, while Dazzling Spring was in charge of attacking from the front.
The power of the Inherent Skill increased according to the martial cultivation's own strength.
Even though Dawei and the little monkey's abilities were not bad, the Red Beard Tiger did not seem to care about the two of them. On the contrary, Xin Lan's ability "Sea Heart Flame" made the red-body tiger somewhat fearful.
"Is Xin Lan's Ocean Heart Flame an ability of flame?" Han Chen asked.
"That's right!" Xiao Wen nodded her head, revealing a pleased look on her face, "My sacred art is Purple Heart Flame, it's kind of similar to Big Sister Xin Lan's!"
"Oh? "Is that so?" Han Chen raised his handsome eyebrows, and surprisingly smiled.
Roar! Under the siege of the three people, the Red Boned Tiger was thoroughly enraged. A pair of copper bell-like eyes shone with a murderous light. Then, he turned around and actually ignored the attacks of Da Wei and the little monkey, and pounced towards Xin Lan.
"Sister Xin Lan, be careful!" Not far away, Xiao Wen's face changed, and immediately shouted.
At the same time, Han Chen had already dashed in Xin Lan's direction. When his red body jumped into the air, Han Chen jumped up high and smashed his forehead with his fist, which was surrounded by golden martial force.
Bang! This punch, contained almost 90% of Han Chen's strength. The red-bodied tiger howled in pain and fell back. Then, Han Chen took out the iron sword. Before his feet could land on the ground, his body bent and the sword in his hand went straight for the enemy's head. Hiss! The sharp blade accurately entered the "King" character on the forehead of the red-body tiger.
Roar! The angry and pained cries startled the group of birds in the forest. Dark red blood flowed out from the wound. As for the little monkey and Dazzling Spring, they also rushed up and stabbed the weapons in their hands into the heart of the Crimson Tiger.
Bang! Seeing the Red Boned Tiger fall powerlessly, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Xiao Wen immediately ran over: "Sister Xin Lan, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Xin Lan shook his head and looked at Han Chen with grateful eyes.
"Haha, I didn't expect that it would be so easy to kill a magical beast of the third rank." With a face full of joy, Dazzling Spring stepped forward and hacked open the head of the Crimson Tiger, taking oued crystal core.
"This is all because of Han Chen." The little monkey was also extremely happy.
Han Chen, who had never been praised by anyone before, felt a little embarrassed instead. He rubbed his nose and laughed, "This is everyone's credit."
Everyone smiled at each other before resting on the spot for a while. After recovering the martial energy that they had consumed, they began to search for traces of magical beasts in other areas.
In the next few days, everyone killed a Class 3 Magical Beast with ease. With Xin Lan, Xiao Wen and the other four by the side, then Han Chen will launch the main attack.
Although they were both at the Seventh Layer of Body Tempering, they all knew it. Han Chen's strength was much stronger than them. In the midst of continuous hunting, Han Chen's battle experience was also gradually increasing.
Bang! It was another Level 3 Magical Beast, the Dark Thunder Leopard had died under Han Chen's sword. Taking out the crystal cores, everyone's face revealed great joy.
"The harvest this time is really bountiful!" Xin Lan weighed the bulging bag, and said happily, "This should be able to exchange for a few small cultivation pills!"
Upon hearing "Little Pei-Yuan Dan", Da Wei, Little Monkey, and Xiao Wen's eyes started to burn. For Body Tempering martial cultivation like them, pills that could raise their cultivation were essential.
Aooo!
Just as the few of them were feeling happy over their harvest, a loud wolf howl shook their hearts. Another demon beast had come to deliver himself to his doorstep? Following his gaze, Xin Lan's face instantly turned white.
"Oh my god!" It's a Windwolf, a magical beast of the fourth rank.
Chapter 9 - Spirit Origin Fruit
Hearing Xin Lan's exclamation, everyone's faces changed. Even Han Chen's expression became somewhat solemn.
Thirty meters in front of him, a large, pale blue wolf-shaped magical beast was staring at him with an ominous glint in its eyes. The aura it emitted was much stronger than the one it gave off when it killed the Crimson Tiger.
For the past few days, everyone had been hunting magical beasts of the third rank. Never would they have thought that they would unknowingly barge into the territory of a magical beast of the fourth rank.
"What should we do?" David gripped his weapon nervously. The strength of a rank 4 magical beast was equivalent to a Qi Refining stage level 1 to 3 martial cultivation. The Wind Wolf in front of them could protect their foundation, and would at least have the strength of a Qi Refining stage level 1. With just a few people, their chances of winning were extremely slim.
The Whirlwind Wolves slowly walked over, letting out deep growls from their throats.
No one had the time to pay attention to the situation, so they could only subconsciously retreat. However, their fear had undoubtedly increased the fearlessness of the Whirlwind Wolves. It knew that the few people in front of it were very afraid of it.
"Let's fight it out with him!" Da Wei gritted his teeth and said.
"No way!" Han Chen rejected it immediately, then suddenly stopped his steps and turned to face the people behind him, "All of you go first, I will lure it away."
"Han Chen, you can't!" Xin Lan rejected him without even thinking.
Xiao Wen, who was at the side, shook her head: "If we were to leave together, we will not make you stay."
"That's right. I, Dazzling Spring, am definitely noerson who fears death."
Seeing the four's sincere gazes, Han Chen's heart could not help but feel warm. This was the first time he received the concern of another in the Mystical Peak. He could not help but harden his resolve to lure the Whirlwind Wolves away by himself.
"Listen to me!" Wait for me at the place where you rested last night. I'll be fine. "
"But …"
"If we don't leave now, it will be too late." With that said, Han Chen raised the sword in his hand and rushed towards the Whirlwind Wolf.
Aooo! The Whirlwind Wolves let out a low growl, as if mocking the other party for overestimating their capabilities.
Seeing the scene before his eyes, Xin Lan bit her red lips and shouted loudly, "Han Chen, you must return alive. We won't leave the rear mountains without waiting for you."
"Understood, let's go quickly!"
"Let's go." Xin Lan pulled the worried Xiao Wen and turned around and left with Da Wei and the little monkey.
Aooo! The Whirlwind Wolves stared coldly at Han Chen, and then looked at the backs of Xin Lan and the others, with a sou sound, they wanted to chase after them.
How could Han Chen let it succeed? He focused his martial spirit energy on the sword, causing a faint light to envelop the surface of the sword. "Stupid dog, watch your sword!"
The Whirlwind Wolves were so fast, they easily dodged Han Chen's attacks. However, this move infuriated it. Giving up on chasing after the other, he turned around and pounced over.
However, Han Chen's goal was not to fight it to the death. He immediately retracted his attack, turned around, and ran out of the area. The Whirlwind Wolves were even more furious now. Was he messing with someone? It opened its claws and chased after him like a gale.
It was not Han Chen's wish to provoke the Whirlwind Wolves. He definitely wouldn't be able to beat them. The only thing he could do was to run everywhere!
The Whirlwind Wolves were extremely fast, so Han Chen could only walk around and borrow the trees in the forest to move left and right. He would use this to restrain the other party. But even Han Chen himself
had no direction to go.
The Whirlwind Wolves were in hot pursuit. The man in front of them had completely angered them. Their cold fangs were glinting in the air.
A moment later, something unexpected happened. Unknowingly, a vast expanse of green grass had appeared in front of him. However, the forest he relied on to restrain the Whirlwind Wolves was gone.
"Dammit, isn't this too unlucky?" Han Chen cursed. He knew that he wouldn't be able to run away from the Whirlwind Wolves, but there was nothing he could do. The path of retreat had already been sealed off. There was no way back at all.
Wuuuuu! As the Whirlwind Wolves ran, they let out cries of victory! The distance between it and Han Chen was quickly closing.
Han Chen finally felt that his strength was insufficient as the scenes on both sides were thrown to the back of his mind. He was inwardly anxious, if this carried on, he would really lose his life to the wolf claws.
"Let's go all out!" Han Chen gritted his teeth as he made up his mind. He then fell forward, just like when he accidentally fell to the ground.
At the same time, the Whirlwind Wolf used a bit of force to retreat, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, it opened its claws and fangs and pounced towards Han Chen. If it was a normal person, he would have definitely died at this moment.
But at this time, Han Chen suddenly turned around, and faced the Whirlwind Wolf that was pouncing towards him, in his hand, a sword suddenly appeared. Phantom Limitless! "
Hiss! The sharp sword edge slashed across the Wind Wolf's snow-white belly. A thin red line slowly appeared, like a watermelon that had been split open. The internal organs of the Wind Wolf were exposed.
Aooo! Han Chen let out a miserable cry as he somersaulted and crawled up from the ground. As the Whirlwind Wolves fell to the ground, they were affected by the inertia, causing their wounds to become even more severe. Blood and intestines also spilled out from their wounds.
Han Chen panted heavily, secretly glad that he made the right bet. This magical beast was, after all, a magical beast, and even though it possessed all of its strength, its intelligence was extremely low.
Wuuuuu! The Whirlwind Wolf licked the wound on its stomach, looked at Han Chen fearfully, then dragged its injured body and ran.
"Hey, didn't you feel great chasing me just now?" "He'll become a grandson now."
Han Chen scolded in annoyance, and then chased after his. That sword strike did not manage to injure its vitals. However, in this situation, it would lose too much blood and die soon after. A Level 4 Beast Core was a good thing, Han Chen would naturally not let it go.
The closer Han Chen chased, the faster the Whirlwind Wolves ran. The wound on his stomach became even more severe, and his intestines began to drag on the ground. It was still limping.
As his previous consumption was too great, Han Chen was actually unable to keep up, "Motherf * cker, he's already like this, yet he can still run so fast."
Just as Han Chen had expected, the Whirlwind Wolf fell down unwillingly after a short while, leaving a long trail of blood behind it. His intestines getting rotten was extremely disgusting.
Han Chen walked over and used his sword to slice apart the Whirlwind Wolf's head. He then took ouound crystal core. Feeling the energy undulations from the crystal core, the corner of his mouth revealed a faint smile.
Then, Han Chen found a more serious problem, he got lost.
"Where is this place?" He looked around blankly. Behind him walain, and in front of him was a mountain slope. I don't know what the location is.
"This is going to be troublesome." Han Chen rubbed his head. Previously, he was only concerned with escaping, he didn't even have time to recognize the way.
With heavy footsteps, he suddenly saw a relatively obscure cave in front of him. Could it be another cave inhabited by a magical beast? Looking back at the dead Whirlwind Wolves, he came up with a vague answer. Could it be the Whirlwind Wolves' cave?
It was said that all the injured wolves would run to their "home".
Han Chen didn't have the intention to explore the wolf's lair, it was just that he had consumed a lot of energy inside his body, so he had to find a place to rest first.
In the end, Han Chen carefully walked towards the cave. Standing at the entrance of the cave, a fishy smell assaulted him.
Han Chen frowned, and cautiously moved forward. After about ten meters, a simple cave appeared in his line of sight. The temperature in the cave was rather low, and on the ground, there were a few beast bones that had been gnawed clean.
What surprised Han Chen was that the vines that were climbing up the walls of the cave were still there. On a vine, a crimson red fruit attracted his attention.
"This is?" Han Chen was startled, then slowly walked towards the vine. The vermilion fruit was like a crane amongst a flock of chickens, appearing extremely conspicuous amidst the green leaves. The fruit was as big as an infant's fist and sparkling. Han Chen could clearly feel a trace of spirit energy being emitted from the fruit.
"Spirit Origin Fruit?" The two words suddenly popped out in Han Chen's mind.
He vaguely remembered hearing others talk abourecious Spirit Origin Fruit in the back mountain. This kind of fruit was extremely hard to find, and it was guarded by powerful magical beasts. Furthermore, the fruit had been ripe for a very long time. It would take two to three years before it could bear one or two fruits.
"Is it really a Spirit Origin Fruit?" Han Chen swallowed his saliva, he slowly extended his hand towards the Spirit Origin Fruit and only picked up the green and red fruits gently, causing them to fall into his hands.
A light and elegant fragrance pervaded out, and Han Chen suddenly felt his mind shake, his thoughts becoming extremely clear. Taking a deep breath, Han Chen put the Spirit Origin Fruit into his mouth. Gently biting on it, the sweet juice reverberated in his mouth, and a sweet fragrance lingered on his lips.
Immediately after, the spirit force contained within the Spirit Origin Fruit began to flow into Han Chen's limbs and bones, his entire body was flowing with a dense gold light.
Han Chen immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, channeling his martial spirit energy, guiding the spirit essence fruit's energy to flow through his body, to be absorbed and refined.
Chapter 10 - Pu Shen Yu
After approximately four hours, Han Chen slowly woke up from his cultivation. His clear eyes were filled with unconcealable joy.
"Tempered Body 8th Layer!"
A single Spirit Origin Fruit allowed his strength to surpass another level in such a short amount of time. Furthermore, Han Chen could clearly feel that his body still had a large amount of remaining spirit energy that he had yet to absorb.
"I only absorbed a small part of it, and it already had this effect." I wonder if I can reach the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering if I completely absorb it? " Han Chen gently murmured, but now was not the time to concentrate on cultivation. Xin Lan, Xiao Wen and the others were still waiting for him, he had to reunite with them first.
Han Chen did not stay any longer, as he got up and left the cave. The corpse of the Whirlwind Wolf was still there. Before long, it would be eaten by other wild beasts.
Right now, Han Chen did not know where he was. He could only rely on the scattered memories in his mind to find the way back.
The sun shone brightly as a gentle breeze blew past. In the depths of the lush forest, the roars of magical beasts could be heard from time to time. It was hard to imagine that Mystical Peak could actually be neighbors with these magical beasts for hundreds of years.
Han Chen's luck was not bad when he found the grassland he came from. Just as he was about to head back, he heard the angry roar of a magical beast, causing him to jump in fright.
"Really?" I was just feeling lucky! " Han Chen hurriedly looked around. To his surprise, he didn't find any traces of demon beasts.
However, the howls of the magical beasts continued to be heard, mixed with the sounds of fierce fighting.
Hm? Someone? If there were people around, there wouldn't be any danger. Han Chen thought to himself, after all, those who were able to come here, were all disciples with decent strength. Even if they could not form a team with them, they could still ask for directions.
Following the sounds of the battle, Han Chen moved towards a location in the forest. The battle in front of them was getting closer and closer. Wood chips and rocks were flying everywhere. One could imagine how intense the battle was.
Not long later, a huge monster appeared in Han Chen's line of sight. It wahree-meter-tall bear-shaped magical beast with a sturdy body and a thick brown fur.
"Tyrant Bear!" Han Chen was so shocked that his eyes turned round. It was actually a Violent Bear Beast.
Although the Savage Bear was a magical beast of the fourth step, it was definitely not as weak as the Whirlwind Wolves. If the Whirlwind Wolves were equivalent to the first level of Qi Refining, then the Savage Bear would be equivalent to the third level of Qi Refining.
Without waiting for Han Chen to recover from his shock, what made him even more surprised was that there was only one person fighting against the Tyrant Bear Beast. And it was a woman. It was a young girl around seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a green flowered dress witonytail tied behind her head. She looked very beautiful.
"This world is too crazy." Han Chen didn't dare to believe that what was happening in front of him was real. He carefully examined his surroundings and confirmed that the girl was indeed alone without any helpers.
Han Chen couldn't help but feel defeated. If he had met that Violent Bear, it seemed like he would have died from just a few slaps. However, the young girl in front was extremely calm.
Roar! The Savage Bear pounded its chest and continuously attacked with its fan-like palms. Every time he landed, he would either break a tree or create a deep crater in the ground. It explained what power was.
The young girl was like a gentle butterfly as she nimbly dodged the attack. She did not want to face it head on. In her hand was an emerald green long sword. With a light wave of her white wrist, a sharp sword qi specifically aimed at the Savage Bear's weak eyes, stomach and other areas.
