"Ding!"

The black panther's spear and the black shadow collided together in mid-air, making a crisp sound, and the black shadow's forward figure instantly paused, and the black panther also retreated slightly under the impact.

Chen Ning hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the black panther back, and then everyone looked at the black shadow, only to see that it was a demon beast with the appearance of a two-meter-tall wild boar, but it was not like a wild boar, the upper body was pitch black, the lower body was white, there were two half-meter-long fangs under the mouth, and the soles of the limbs and feet also had claws of more than ten centimeters. ”

"Brothers, surround it, don't let it run." The panther shouted to the other mercenaries, and then looked at Chen Ning, Chen Ning also looked at the panther, the two of them had a heart in their hearts, and they instantly killed the fierce pig with a shot and a sword, and Hu Wen also followed closely, and the other mercenaries also quickly dispersed and launched a siege.

"Roar!"

In the face of everyone's encirclement, the Fierce Pig was not afraid, it was a second-order demonic beast, its two cloudy eyes revealed reddened bloodshots, as if it had some deep hatred for Chen Ning and his party, and it also ran with its head, like a tank, rushing towards the black panther and Chen Ning.

Chen Ning and the black panther flashed, and they didn't dare to touch the edge of the fierce pig, but Chen Ning's fourth-order speed was obviously fast The black panther was fast, and he was able to dodge it by the half-meter-long fangs of the fierce pig, but fortunately, they only cut through their clothes and did not hurt Chen Ning, and Zhou Qing and Hu Wen also attacked the fierce pig at the same time.

"Drink!" Seeing that Chen Ning was almost hit by the fangs of the fierce pig, the black panther burst out with a loud shout, and the Xuan Qi in his body was running on the spear, and then waved the spear to sweep away the fierce pig with lightning speed.

In the face of the attack of the panther and everyone, the huge body of the strong pig dodged the attack of everyone with a flexible jump, and then the two forelimbs jumped up and stepped on the direction of the black panther, and suddenly the originally flat land in front of it was instantly collapsed into a big pit, the black panther was about to attack again The figure shook slightly, and almost fell to the ground and fell into the pit, and then the bulky body of the strong pig came to the panther like lightning, a pair of fangs against the black panther is one, the panther couldn't dodge, the spear was horizontal, and swept to the fangs of the strong pig, with a piercing beard"Squeak" sounded, the huge impact of the fierce pig, the black panther hit the body swinging, the black panther only felt that the palm of his hand holding the spear was numb, his body was crooked, he couldn't control his body, and suddenly fell into the big pit that the strong pig stepped on.

Seeing the panther fall into the pit, the fierce pig naturally wouldn't let him go, the two one-meter-long forelimbs were about to jump up and step on the black panther fiercely, Chen Ning and Zhou Qing naturally wouldn't let the fierce pig succeed when they saw this, Zhou Qing's weapon was a pair of black claws on his hands, and the Xuan Qi was covered with claws, and he grabbed the belly of the fierce pig, Chen Ning also attacked almost at the same time as Zhou Qing, but Chen Ning used a long sword to cut the forelimbs raised by the fierce pig.

"Roar, whoa!"

The fierce pig who was attacked and felt pain let out a scream, and there were five or six blood marks on his stomach by Zhou Qing's claws, and the right limb of his front leg was also cut out of a deep wound by Chen Ning's long sword that used purple sword qi, and he was about to step on the front limbs of the black panther slightly, but the black panther also took the opportunity to kick into the pit with his foot, leaving a deep footprint in the pit and jumped up, and the spear in his hand stabbed at the head of the fierce pig.

"Ding!"

Seeing the panther's spear stabbing at him, the fierce pig collided with the panther's spear with his fangs, and knocked the spear away, the panther saw that the blow missed, and also used the impact of the panther's fangs on the spear to retreat, seeing the panther retreating, the fierce pig turned around and launched a fierce attack on Zhou Qing and Chen Ning, "Roar!" The fierce pig let out a violent roar, and the two front paws waved, the sharp fangs of the front paws collided with the long sword stabbed by Chen Ning, and the huge power of the front paws almost shook off the long sword in Chen Ning's hand, and then without waiting for Chen Ning to react, he opened his mouth and bit Chen Ning's head.

Chen Ning didn't care about the numbness in his hands, and the Xuan Qi in his body used the body of the sword duel to retreat sharply, and then stabbed towards the huge mouth of the fierce pig again.

"Ding!"

Just when Chen Ning's long sword just sank into the big open mouth of the fierce pig, the mouth of the strong pig closed instantly, and it bit Chen Ning's long sword with its sharp and very hard teeth, so that Chen Ning could not pull out the sword, and then his head tilted upward, Chen Ning's body holding the long sword stumbled, and he was actually taken by the fierce pig.

Chen Ning was shocked, looking at the sharp fangs in front of the strong pig's mouth, and quickly let go of the long sword in his hand, but under the effect of force inertia, his body still fell forward, and Chen Ning's right foot stepped on the ground hard, and his body could not stop.

"Brute, die!"

Just when Chen Ning stopped, and the Fierce Pig was about to attack Chen Ning with his fangs, a loud shout came from the side, only to see that the black panther had come to the side of the Fierce Pig, and the spear in his hand stabbed at the Fierce Pig's right eye with a broken sound, and at the same time, the attacks of other mercenaries also smashed into the Fierce Pig, so that the Fierce Pig had to give up attacking Chen Ning.

The fierce pig threw the long sword in his mouth at a black panther, and turned his body to defend against the attacks of others, but there were many mercenary weapons that smashed and stabbed at the body of the fierce pig with a thick mysterious aura.

"Whew!"

The strong pig suddenly let out a painful howl, but the body action still did not stop, and kept attacking everyone frantically, although the strong pig was injured many times at the moment, and the whole body shed a lot of blood, but this did not weaken the fighting power of the strong pig, but aroused the ferocity in its body, and the combat power did not decrease but increased, under the crazy attack of the strong pig, seven or eight mercenaries fell to the ground after a while, dead and wounded.

Generally, demon beasts are divided into three levels: low-level, intermediate, and advanced, and each kind of demon beast is different, some are good at attacking, some are good at speed, some are good at defense, etc., and the fierce pig in front of him is obviously stronger than the second-order demon beast black scorpion that he encountered before, the black scorpion is a second-order low-level demon beast, and the strong pig is estimated to be a second-order intermediate demon beast that is good at attacking.

Seeing the ferocity of the Fierce Pig, Chen Ning and the Black Panther and the other mercenaries did not dare to touch the edge, and when the Fierce Pig attacked, several people resisted at the same time, and then attacked it while it was attacking other mercenaries.

Just when everyone and the Fierce Pig were in a stalemate, the Fierce Pig gradually lost his physical strength, and launched a fierce attack on everyone again, forcing everyone to retreat, and then jumped and fled towards the dense forest.

"Oh no, it's going to run away. ”

"Stop it, don't let it run. ”

Seeing that the fierce pig was about to run, the black panther immediately jumped towards the fierce pig, a spear was covered with mysterious light, and then quickly stabbed towards the fierce pig, everyone was busy for so long, injured nameless, how could two mercenaries let it escape.

At the same time as the panther made a move, the other mercenaries also ran towards the Fierce Pig, and the strength of the mercenaries closest to the Fierce Pig's escape was not weak, and they all reached the Seventh Layer of the Xuan, although it was impossible to kill the Fierce Pig, but it was still okay to stop it a little, and each of them attacked the Fierce Pig with their weapons.

"Roar!" Seeing that several mercenaries were stopping him, Ganglie Pig let out a low roar from his mouth, and went towards several mercenaries with fangs, and several mercenaries were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they dodged one after another, but it was this pause time, the black panther Chen Ning and others caught up one after another, and the weapons covered with mysterious qi in their hands smashed into the Ganglie Pig, and the back of the Ganglie Pig's buttocks was beaten by the Black Panther and others, and the flesh and blood were blurred, especially the hind limbs were cut out by everyone with a deep wound that could be seen in the bones.

Seeing that Ganglie Pig was injured, everyone rose up to attack, and after paying two mercenaries to be injured, Ganglie Pig's huge body stabbed into his head with the black panther spear and fell to the ground with a bang.

After seeing the pig fall to the ground, the panther came to the pig and kicked it, and said fiercely, "Damn, this thing is really powerful, if we don't kill it, we really can't kill it." After saying that, he beckoned the other mercenaries to divide the strong pig, and when he took out a demon core the size of a glass bead from the strong pig's brain, the panther finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Chen Ning saw the demon core for the first time, and couldn't help but take the demon core from the black panther and looked at it, the demon core was only the size of glass beads, and the whole body was earth-colored, under the explanation of the black panther, Chen Ning understood that the original demon beast was also divided into gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, this demon core was earth-colored, obviously this strong pig was an earth-based demon beast, but what the specific role of this demon core was Chen Ning did not know, seeing the black panther's happy face, Chen Ning asked the black panther, "Brother, what is the function of this demon core?

"Brother, don't you know, the most valuable thing about a demon beast is the demon core, the demon core is like the dantian of our human beings, where the essence is gathered, it is full of all kinds of energy, and it is very valuable. The panther patiently explained to Chen Ning.

Hearing this, Chen Ning nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask, "Since the energy contained in the demon core is so large, can we absorb the energy of the demon core to cultivate?" The two rays of light in his body, one purple and one green, have been absorbing his own Xuan Qi, making him worry about his cultivation speed, if he can cultivate with the help of the huge energy in the demon core, then he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

But to Chen Ning's disappointment, the black panther shook his voice and said, "No, our human bodies can't withstand the violent aura in the demon core at all, which will cause the meridians to be unable to withstand this energy and become intense." Seeing Chen Ning's disappointed look on his face after speaking, the black panther couldn't bear to pause in his heart, and continued to explain, "Brother, my brother knows that you want to improve your strength, but you must not absorb the demon core to improve your strength, because as far as I know, no one in the Xuantian Continent has absorbed the demon core to improve their strength, but they can't live for more than three months, and the violent aura in the demon core will destroy the cultivator's meridians at best, and the wheel will be wasted, or the whole body will be supported by the violent breath in the demon core and die." After speaking, the panther patted Chen Ning's shoulder again, looked at Chen Ning with a serious face, and spit out four more words in his mouth: "Nothing else!"

Chen Ning knew that the black panther was afraid that he would take the wrong path if he wanted to quickly improve his strength, so he couldn't help but nod and smile at the black panther, "Brother, don't worry, I won't." ”

After hearing Chen Ning's answer, the black panther was relieved, he was really afraid that Chen Ning would embark on a road of no return for the sake of strength, and he was really good for Chen Ning. It didn't take long for Hu Wen to run over and tell the panther that the pig had been taken down by everyone, and asked the panther if he wanted to move on.

When everyone packed up their things and buried the dead mercenaries and was ready to leave, the black panther asked Chen Ning, "By the way, brother, what kind of strength do you have now, the Fierce Pig is a second-order demon beast, although it is only a second-order low-level demon beast, but you can protect yourself under the hands of the Fierce Pig, it's not easy." ”

"I'm now the fourth-order of the Xuan, if I use the sword technique, I should be able to match the seventh-order of the Xuan, but I haven't tried it, brother, do you want a sword? Regarding the problem of the black panther, Chen Ning naturally told the truth, and had the idea of teaching the purple and green sword duel to the black panther.

But to Chen Ning's surprise, the panther shook his head at Chen Ning and said, "No, my brother is taking the road of guns, supplemented by boxing, this thing of kendo is not suitable for me, you can keep it yourself." ”

Seeing that the panther didn't want it, Chen Ning didn't force it, but he secretly noted in his heart that what the panther needed was a shooting and fist duel, and he would have to pay more attention to his eldest brother when he saw this type of himself in the future.

In the next few days, Chen Ning and the Black Panther hunted demon beasts all the way in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and during this period, they also encountered many mercenary teams who entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts like them, but Chen Ning and the others were also quite numerous, and there was no major conflict between the two sides. In the Demon Beast Mountain Range, sometimes a strong mercenary team encounters a weak team, and it is purely normal to kill people and seize goods, so in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, you must not only defend against the demon beast, but also against other mercenary teams.

At night, a crescent moon hung high in the dark night sky, emitting a faint light shining between the heavens and the earth, and in a relatively spacious clearing in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, there was a group of mercenaries sitting in front of the bonfire roasting the monster meat pieces, and it was Chen Ning and his party. "After these seven or eight days of traveling, I think the brothers are also tired, and our trip has a very rich harvest, there are six second-order demon cores, eighteen first-order demon cores, although we also killed and injured more than 20 brothers this time, but it is also worth the trip, after today, we will go back to Tianyun City to repair, everyone can take the opportunity to relax." Sitting in front of the bonfire, the panther said to everyone with a gratifying face, for the results announced by the panther, the mercenaries are naturally extremely satisfied, although there are also many dead and injured brothers, but the mercenary industry, has long been strange, everyone sits in front of the bonfire eating barbecue and chatting, talking and laughing.

Only Chen Ning sat on the side and blew the cold wind without saying a word, in the past few days, he has constantly seen the mercenaries around him fall under the mouths of various demon beasts, not because Chen Ning has a deep relationship with them, but because Chen Ning feels the fragility of people, and the indifference of human nature, the death of a person in the Xuantian Continent is the same as the death of an ant, it seems so insignificant. And in the past few days of life and death struggle, Chen Ning's strength has also improved a lot, and he has reached the peak of the fifth order of the Xuanzhi, and he is only one step away from the sixth order of the Xuanzhi.

And just when Chen Ning looked at all this in front of him, Chen Ning's ears moved slightly, and then he quickly turned his head to look at a bush not far away, Chen Ning's divine sense was now able to explore a radius of 100 meters, he had just sensed that there was movement inside, although he couldn't see what it was, but it was definitely not a demon beast or something, he couldn't help but stand up and shouted at everyone, "Everyone be careful, there is a situation." ”
