Chapter 5: Exploring the Dark Mountains
"Is this the Dark Mountains? Du Ruofeng looked at the crowd coming in and out, and sighed.
The Dark Mountains are rich in resources, and countless people come and go every day, and after a long time, at the foot of the Dark Mountains, a special trading place has been formed for these adventurers, and many adventurers take the things they get to the trading workshop to trade and buy and sell to get what they need. Whether it is the fur of the demon beast, the demon pill or all kinds of medicinal materials, as long as the Dark Mountain Range has it, almost all of them can be traded here, so it seems to be very prosperous.
Du Ruofeng took out the map prepared in advance and looked at it, there are a lot of maps of the Dark Mountain Range, so it is not difficult to get them, of course, it is only the map of the periphery, like the map of the inner periphery is not so easy to get, like where there are powerful demon beasts, where there are precious medicinal materials, etc., all of which are exchanged for the lives of some adventurers, who would be so stupid that everyone knows it. Therefore, the map in Du Ruofeng's hand only marked some peripheral places, but fortunately, the marks were very clear, as long as he didn't break into the territory of high-level demon beasts, he would not encounter any threat to his life.
But the real danger will always come from humanity itself, and the Dark Mountains will never lack killing and looting. Some practitioners don't want to take risks, so they specifically intercept and kill those who come back, because they usually have some gains on them. Therefore, Du Ruofeng's biggest concern was not the demon beast, but other adventurers.
Du Ruofeng found the right direction, and went into the Dark Mountain Range to start his first real training journey.
The demon beasts of the Xuanwu Continent are divided into nine levels of quenching body of the ninth-level martial artists, as for the tenth-level demon beasts, they are equivalent to the powerhouses of the innate realm, and they are king-level at the top, and the kind of demon beasts that encounter them are basically death, but the king-level demon beasts are all in the depths of the Dark Mountain Range, and they will not appear on the periphery at all.
Du Ruofeng is looking for a kind of wind wolf, which is equivalent to a human quenching five-fold demon beast, generally speaking, in the same level, the demon beast is stronger than the human being, because the demon beast defense is higher than that of the human being.
However, if Du Ruofeng encounters a low-level demon beast, he will not let it go, after all, he has come to practice, and it is still necessary to familiarize himself with the fighting style of the demon beast in advance. So Du Ruofeng kicked away a second-level cat demon in front of him. However, there was a little accident in the middle, Du Ruofeng didn't expect the speed of the cat demon to be so fast, so he hung up the lottery very gloriously, but it was not serious, simply clean it up, and Du Ruofeng continued to go deeper.
"Woo~"
Du Ruofeng stared at the wind wolf in front of him, it was really difficult, he was able to defeat Han Yan, who was quenched five-fold, but he couldn't immediately defeat the fourth-level wind wolf, he was a sprint and rushed to the wind wolf, so he ran luckily, but the wind wolf was good at speed, so he didn't get anything cheap, but let the wind wolf make several cuts on his body one after another, and the blood continued to flow.
"TNND" Du Ruofeng looked at the wind wolf not far away, and burst into a foul mouth, it seems that he really can't clean you up if he doesn't show some real skills. The Wind Wolf also looked at Du Ruofeng, with a contemptuous look in his eyes. It's as if to say, "Boy, what else is there to be, just do it."
"I really didn't expect to be ridiculed by a beast today"
Du Ruofeng took out the remnant sword from the ring, yes, it was the one given by the gift package, "The system will produce real gold, don't let me down" Looking at the remnant sword, Du Ruofeng prayed in his heart over and over again.
Du Ruofeng has not learned any sword moves, but he has read a lot of martial arts novels in his previous life, although he can't, he still understands some simple picking, plucking, and stabbing. Rushing towards the wind wolf with his sword, he saw the wind wolf roar angrily, and his front paws slapped straight down.
"Poof.." A pillar of blood gushed out, but it was not Du Ruofeng's, but the wind wolf's, with the help of the remnant sword, Du Ruofeng finally killed the wind wolf, looking at the corpse of the demon beast that fell to the ground, Du Ruofeng's heart was not very calm, after all, this was the first time he killed someone, uh, kill the demon beast. Touching his chest, it seemed that his ribs were broken, and although he finally killed the wind wolf, it was at the cost of his own injury.
"Oh, by the way, Demon Beast Neidan. ”
There is no inner pill in the body of the first-to-third-level demon beasts, but the demon beasts above the fourth level have an inner pill, which is equivalent to the golden pill of human beings, and it is the concentration of the essence of the demon beast. So Du Ruofeng immediately thought of getting the demon beast Neidan out. Looking at the remnant sword in his hand, he shook his head, it seems that he is going to use you as a meat cleaver today.
Although the "sneer" remnant sword did not look good, it was very sharp, and it was inserted into the corpse of the wind wolf at once.
"Huh?"
It seems that something is wrong, this remnant sword is actually absorbing the blood of the demon beast, and a trace of blood flashes on the body of the remnant sword, which seems to constitute some kind of mysterious pattern, and the blood of the wind wolf is absorbed little by little. In the end, there was nothing left, only some wolf fur and solitary ones.
"Is this a magic weapon? It actually sucks blood, and even Nedan doesn't give me any left, do you get a few wolf hairs after all your hard work?" Du Ruofeng looked at the few wolf hairs on the ground, stupid. Wolf hair is wolf hair, Du Ruofeng raised his trembling right hand, and with a wave, he incorporated the wolf hair into the space ring.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating the Remnant Sword Repair Quest, Task Details: Repair the Remnant Sword, the host can gradually repair it by finding refining materials and letting it devour. Rewards: Summoning a character once, a heaven-level combat skill. ”
"Uh... What grade is this remnant sword, it needs to devour other materials to repair, and it also absorbs flesh and blood essence. Du Ruofeng began to have a great interest in the remnant sword.
"Hey, let's find a place to recover my strength first" Now that I am injured, it is not appropriate to look for demon beasts.
Nothing was said all night.
The combat effectiveness displayed by the Hongmeng Battle Heavenly Technique far exceeds that of ordinary exercises, and the speed at which it absorbs Xuan Qi is even more incomparable to other exercises, after a night of cultivation, not only is it healed, but Du Ruofeng feels that his strength has also improved slightly. It seems that my decision to come to the Dark Mountains to experience is the right one, if I blindly cultivate at home, it will definitely not be as effective as here.
Taking out the map, Du Ruofeng rushed in one direction, if he was not mistaken, there should be a phantom fox there. Phantom Fox is also a fourth-level demon beast, and its attack power may not be as good as that of the Wind Wolf, but it is good at illusion, and many adventurers are killed by illusion. There are very few low-level martial artists who are proficient in illusion, so it is not easy to guard against.
"Huh, why is it so quiet around?" Du Ruofeng noticed the abnormality and immediately became alert. Slowly, fog began to appear around him, Du Ruofeng hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but he still couldn't hear anything, he just felt that he was walking non-stop, walking and walking, he seemed to see a fox.
"It's a Phantom Fox"
Du Ruofeng took out the remnant sword, and the sword qi flew out in an instant, hitting the phantom fox. The illusion disappeared, Du Ruofeng picked up the remnant sword, absorbed the flesh and blood of the phantom fox, and continued to run into the depths.
Du Ruofeng continued to go deeper, his strength continued to improve, and finally reached the innate realm. He returned to Sioux City, and three months later, Dabi defeated Han Yang, defeated everyone, and won the first place. In the end, he became the head of the Du family, and after a few years, he defeated Su Sheng and became the master of Su City, which was not prestigious.
"Hum~~"
Du Ruofeng's mind fluctuated, "Am I not in the Suzhou City Lord's Mansion, why are you here?"
"It's a fantasy" Du Ruofeng was cold behind him, and he was afraid for a while, this illusion was too real, making people completely defenseless, Du Ruofeng hurriedly gathered his mind and really withdrew from the illusion.
"Master, you just fell into a hallucination, but luckily the system detected it, otherwise, you would be in danger," Fluttershy's voice rings in her head.
"Fluttershy, it stands to reason that the system is supposed to be a powerful being, why didn't you remind me in the first place?" Du Ruofeng was a little puzzled.
"Master, although the system is very powerful, but it will not take the initiative to take action, only when the master is in trouble, it will appear, so everything still depends on the master himself. ”
"Understood" It seems that you can't be careless with the system, Du Ruofeng secretly made up his mind in his heart, don't rely too much on the system, everything depends on yourself is the real strong.
"The Phantom Fox is there, grab it!" a pleasant voice came. Du Ruofeng turned his head and saw that two men and one woman should also be here to catch the phantom fox.
"Hey. Didn't you hear? Hurry up and get the Phantom Fox. "The domineering voice is undoubtful.
"If you have the ability to catch it yourself" Du Ruofeng looked at them, and the strength of the third level of the quenching body dared to be arrogant in front of him. Du Ruofeng didn't bother to take care of them, and looked at the phantom fox.
"Whoosh!" the phantom fox saw that this was not good, and turned his head into the grass. Du Ruofeng saw it and hurriedly caught up. Phantom Fox is not only good at creating illusions, but it is also very fast.
"Senior sister, let's hurry up and catch up, I'm afraid we'll lose it if it's too late," a young man said to the girl beside him.
"Good" The girl's eyes stared at the direction where Du Ruofeng was going, and nodded heavily. Phantom Fox must get it himself, this is a meeting gift he dedicated to his master, and there is absolutely no room for loss!
"Where is it?" Du Ruofeng searched all the way, and finally lost another place. "The breath is gone here"
Du Ruofeng found a cave, and the aura of the phantom fox loomed, "I can only gamble and see if it's inside."
The cave was not deep, and after walking for a while, I saw the phantom fox's nest appear in front of me.
"Sure enough, it's here" Du Ruofeng was overjoyed, and his efforts were finally not in vain.
The phantom fox also discovered Du Ruofeng's figure, his small mouth opened, and an invisible fluctuation emanated, and Du Ruofeng felt that something was affecting his brain.
"It's an illusion"
Du Ruofeng had the experience of the last time and did not fall for it. Phantom Fox was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the person in front of him would not be affected by his illusion. Seeing that the illusion failed, the phantom fox quickly turned around and ran.
"Where to go" where would Du Ruofeng let go of such a good opportunity. Hurriedly rushed in the direction of the Phantom Fox, and raised his hand to see a sword light.
