Chapter Twenty-Three: Challenging the Earth Bear King
Deep in the primeval forests of the vast mountain range, a narrow old approach road is winding and terrifying.
The moon was obscured by the influx of black clouds, revealing only a faint halo of darkness from behind the thick clouds.
The bones of various spirit beasts can be seen everywhere here.
Zhongli was lying on a huge plane tree, looking at the stars in the sky that were not shining, and beside him, there stood a small fiery red bird with two eyes.
"Xiaohuo, both of us have been here for more than half a year, and at the moment I am very worried about Senior Brother Ma's comfort, as well as the fat man, and I don't know how he is doing in the mining area. β
Zhongli lay on the tree, looking at the sky, but his heart was full of sorrow.
Ma Yun and Mu Yuxuan fought side by side with him and fled the mining area together, at this time he was admiring the moonlight here, but he didn't know if the two were okay.
And the fat man is his only friend, since he was a child, he is a beggar, since he arrived in the Tianhuo Sect, only the fat man has lived with him for eight years.
When he escaped from the mining area, he really wanted to take the fat man with him, but reason told him that it was impossible, and he had been away from the mine for half a year at this time, and he wanted to be fat more and more.
He has lived with Chongming Bird for half a year, and one person and one bird are also familiar with each other a lot, and Chongming Bird is his second friend.
Since the one person and one bird fought the wolves together, the Chongming Bird has not mentioned any more about the contract, and Zhongli is willing to let it cultivate with him.
Zhong Li is a person who attaches great importance to feelings, if the heaven and earth aura he has attracted is really so beneficial, he is also willing to share it with the fat man, Ma Yun and Mu Yuxuan.
These people are very important to him, because before the age of five, he was lonely and had no friends, so he would not take his friends for granted, he knew how to cherish them better than anyone else.
"You have this time to be sad, it's better to cultivate hard, when you cultivate to become strong, are you afraid that you won't be able to find them? What is the Biyun Sect, when the time comes, you can destroy them with a word." β
Chongming Bird spoke lightly beside it, Xiaohuo was the name Zhongli gave it.
Before this, it didn't have any friends, not even a name, as a divine beast, its inheritance memory told it that too many people and spirit beasts coveted its bloodline.
With Zhongli, he didn't feel that terrible look, even Yi Yenan, he just wanted to take it as a mount.
"Well! Cultivate, let's become stronger together! I want to find the old beggar grandfather, rescue the fat man, and find Senior Brother Ma and Senior Brother Mu! I want to enter the Leizhou you mentioned!"
Zhongli was no longer discouraged, and a carp sat up and began to continue cultivating.
Seeing that Zhongli had begun to cultivate, Chongming Bird's eyes showed a shiny light, and he suddenly flew to his shoulder and cultivated with him.
In half a year, Zhongli had already reached the ninth order of the Mortal Martial Realm, but for some reason, he just couldn't break through to the Lingwu Realm.
Chongming Bird couldn't explain clearly, but guessed that Zhongli should have not been tempered to the extreme.
......
"Do you really want to challenge the Earth Bear King alone, although you have already been able to defeat the spirit beasts of the Nine Realms of Lingwu, but the Earth Bear King is a first-order of the Yuanwu Realm, are you sure?"
The Chongming Bird stood on Zhongli, chattering non-stop, it was unwilling to let Zhongli take risks alone, every time they had cooperated to kill the spirit beasts of the Spirit Martial Realm together.
In half a year, it had recovered to the Seven Realms of the Lingwu Realm, and every time it cultivated with Zhongli, its spiritual power seemed to be more refined, and it was even more powerful than its previous Seven Realms of the Lingwu Realm.
But this time, Zhongli wanted to challenge the Earth Bear King of the first order of the Yuan Martial Realm alone, it was still quite worried, if something happened to Zhongli, its cultivation path would be broken.
"Don't worry, I'm just trying, you also said that the Earth Bear King is extremely slow, but the brute force is amazing, even if I bring it, I use the 'Wind Walk', it can't catch up with me. β
"Well, be careful, then. Chongming Bird muttered helplessly and flew high into the air.
Zhongli sat cross-legged in place, waiting for about a cup of tea, when he saw a huge figure walking in the distance.
"Roarβ"
The Earth Bear King came, and when he saw the corpses of Voldemort spiders all over the ground, a pair of huge bear eyes suddenly turned red and bloodshot, and he couldn't help roaring angrily towards the sky, the weak human in front of him actually dared to kill his companion spirit beast.
Boom!
"The angry Earth Bear King has more strength, but fortunately it is not fast. β
Looking at the thousand-year-old tree that only a few people could hug together, it was cracked by the angry Earth Bear King's palm, and Zhongli's eyelids trembled.
The characteristics of the Earth Bear King are strong defense, not strong attack, and the speed is not as good as even the mid-level spirit beasts of the Spirit Martial Realm.
And although Zhongli was a ninth-order mortal martial realm, he already had a speed comparable to the ninth-order of the Lingwu realm, all because of the purity of his spiritual power.
After Zhongli used the 'Wind Walk' to dodge the bear's paw, he made a detour behind his back, and a 'Spirit Circle' was slammed towards the head of the Earth Bear King.
Zhong thought that I was faster than it, and I could grind it to death slowly.
While!
The Earth Bear King felt the spiritual skill behind him, raised his hand to block it, and the 'Spirit Circle' seemed to hit some metal, making a loud noise, and bounced back directly.
"Fire Spirit Protector!" Zhongli shouted softly, and bright red runes appeared on Zhongli's body, forming a battle suit like the armor of a flame warrior.
A pair of brilliant fists were formed on his hands, and he wore a helmet on his head, only his eyes were exposed, and from a distance, Zhongli looked like a demon covered in flames.
"It's too anxious to use the complete body of the 'Fire Spirit Protector' so quickly, even if Zhongli's spiritual power purity is amazing, it can only last for a quarter of an hour. The bird muttered in the tree.
"Roar!"
The Earth Bear King watched the human in front of him use his spiritual skills to protect his whole body, and with a roar, the two huge bear paws also appeared with a pale yellow halo wrapped in it.
Jump!
The Earth Bear King slapped his palm on the ground, and the wind carried it, and a large number of trees around it broke off at the root, all of which fell towards Zhongli, and countless cracks appeared on the ground and spread towards Zhongli, and the ground collapsed a lot.
"Hey, this Earth Bear King has a very high level of intelligence, and he actually knows how to use the terrain to attack, Zhongli is reluctant to forcibly open the 'Fire Spirit Protective Body' of the complete body with the ninth order of the Mortal Martial Realm, and at this time, the 'Wind Walk' can't be used, how can he dodge it?"
The Chongming Bird watched the battle from the trees, ready to rescue at any time, looking at the collapsed trees in the sky, the cracked earth, rushing towards Zhongli's Earth Bear King, triple attack, how should Zhongli respond?
"Fire crows cover the sky!" With Zhongli's low roar, countless fire crows burst out violently and crashed into the huge fallen trees, which stuck to the fire crows, and were burned to dust, and countless sparks fell from the sky.
Zhongli only solved the collapsed trees above, but underestimated the cracks that continued to spread on the ground, and when the ground cracked to Zhongli's feet, the earth suddenly rose and fell like sea water, making Zhongli's center of gravity unstable and almost falling.
The Earth Bear King let out a beast roar, and at this time, he was only three or four meters away from Zhongli, and slapped his palm, and the bear's paw was more than twice as large as the pale yellow rune.
