The Hengduan Mountains are formed by several north-south mountain ranges closely arranged together, and when viewed from above, they look like neat ribs. The Hengduan Mountain Range is located on the edge of the Talo Province, only about two hundred kilometers away from Oran City, because of the large number of magical beasts inhabited, it has attracted a lot of mercenaries to hunt for magic cores and materials, and the Orlan Empire will also hire mercenary groups to clean up every year, after all, the Hengduan Mountain Range is not far from Orlan City, in case of something like a beast tide, it is likely to affect Oran City.

The strength of the demonic beasts in the Hengduan Mountain Range is very strong, and it is said that there are even many saint-level demonic beasts in the deepest part, so most of the mercenaries hunt the demonic beasts on the periphery and will never go deeper, after all, their strength is really not enough. The strongest of the general mercenary groups is only level eight, and there are already eighth-level demonic beasts on the periphery of the Hengduan Mountain Range, and as they go deeper, the strength of the demonic beasts will become stronger, so these mercenary groups can only stay on the periphery of the Hengduan Mountain Range to carry out some hunting activities.

However, at this moment, near the interior of the Hengduan Mountain Range, where only a small number of mercenary groups could reach, there were five young men and girls with swords in their hands approaching the interior of the Hengduan Mountain Range. They were all dressed in white, and there was a purple round emblem on their clothes, which was very eye-catching. Among the five people, there were two teenagers and three young girls, and their eyes were cautious, and they cautiously walked towards the depths of the Hengduan Mountain Range. At the foreground was a handsome young man with peach blossom eyes and a heavy sword in his hand, and at this moment his face was no longer as immodest as he was in Violet Academy, and some were just cautious, so his appearance was very attractive. Behind him was a young man with long silver hair, and the boy's handsome face had a cold look, a cold temperament that made people feel unapproachable. The silver-haired boy was in the center of the five, and on either side of the silver-haired boy were two beautiful girls with almost identical appearances. Their hair is all blue, and even the swords in their hands are almost identical, making it easy to tell that they are twin sisters. At the end of the five, there was a girl with a delicate face and long blue hair, because she could encounter a battle at any time in this Hengduan Mountain Range, her long blue hair was tied behind her head with a red hairband, but she looked more heroic than usual.

The five people who were going to the depths of the Hengduan Mountain Range were naturally the five people who were in the Hengduan Mountains, and after meeting the female killer, the Colding Star and they never encountered anything else, but it took three and a half days to reach the Hengduan Mountain Range. In fact, only Snub Star knew about the assassination, and he didn't tell anyone else, so as not to cause trouble for himself. The task of the five of them in the cold star is to get a total of ten ninth-level late-stage demon cores, twelve ninth-level peak demon cores, seven heaven-level early stage demon cores, and three heaven-level mid-stage demon cores. And on the periphery of the Hengduan Mountain Range, it was not easy to even encounter a ninth-level demonic beast, so they had to go deep into the Hengduan Mountain Range to a place where there were ninth-level and heaven-level demonic beasts.

The Hengduan Mountain Range is not small, they have been walking in it for more than three days, and they have just passed through the periphery of the Hengduan Mountain Range and officially entered the interior of the Hengduan Mountain Range. For the next few days, they were expected to stay in the Hengduan Mountains all the time, so each of them had their food and some medicine in their backpacks. No fire can be lit in the Hengduan Mountains, otherwise they will be exposed by the thick smoke, and may even attract a large number of demonic beasts, so they carry some dry food, and sometimes pick some fruit from the trees to quench their thirst. Snub Star's elective course was Scouting, so some of the things he learned in class were of great use now, at least he could recognize some edible fruits. Although he had only been in the course for ten days, his first lesson was about survival in the wild, which was a skill that a scout must master, so it played a considerable role in him. While it's impossible to learn all the things about survival in the wild so quickly, even if it's only a part, it's very useful.

At this time, Don Juan suddenly said: "Wait. ”

His voice was very sudden, which instantly raised the vigilance of the other four to the highest level, and they immediately looked around. This place was already very close to the depths of the Hengduan Mountain Range, and it was very likely that a ninth-level demonic beast would emerge to sneak attack them, and they had already encountered such a thing three times before. However, because of their very strong strength, the three ninth-level demonic beasts that sneaked up were only in the early or middle stage of the ninth-level, so although they were a little caught off guard at that time, they finally killed the three-headed ninth-level demonic beasts relatively easily, took out the demon core and put it in the backpack. Although the magic core in the early and middle stages of level 9 is not in the mission, if you take it out and sell it yourself, you can also get a lot of gold coins.

"What's wrong?" asked Caroline, who hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary, and no monsters had appeared.

"There. Don Juan gestured to a nearby tree.

"Huh?" Erin looked at the tree, but it was a larger tree, and there was nothing hidden near it, "Nothing?"

"Feces. Snub said, "There's manure on that tree." ”

Erin looked at the tree again, and finally found that there was a small pale green mark on the trunk of the tree, which was stuck there, and it was really not easy to find if you didn't look closely.

"Look at the shape, it's supposed to be bird droppings," Don Juan explains: "Birds excrete as they fly, so their excrement falls as they fly." Ordinary birds that are not threatening have white dung, and this dung is light green, naturally not ordinary birds, definitely Warcraft. Different birds and monsters, because of their different food, their droppings are generally different colors. ”

"Birds and monsters?" Irene asked curiously, "Do you know what kind of monsters it is?"

"I happen to know a little bit about Warcraft in this part. Don Juan said: "There are two known bird beasts with light green droppings, one of which is the Purple Feather Eagle, the Thunder Beast, which has a strong potential, and can even grow to the level of a demigod, and is very aggressive and very dangerous. ”

Tang Juan glanced at Ai Wei, whose face changed slightly, and continued: "But such a powerful demonic beast should not appear here, after all, in this Hengduan Mountain Range, it is said that the strongest is only a saint-level demonic beast, and it is still in the deepest depths, and it is impossible for us to encounter it here." ”

"It turned out to be the Purple Feather Eagle," Caroline breathed a sigh of relief, "That shouldn't be possible here, this kind of magical beast is very rare, it is said that it can only be found in the Beast Language Forest and the Demonic Beast Mountain Range of the Gus Empire now, and we can't come across it." ”

"That's good," Ivy also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, even if a Warcraft of this level has not yet grown, it is very difficult to deal with: "What is another Warcraft?"

"Another bird monster is the Black-winged Bird. Tang Juan replied: "The talent of this kind of demonic beast is far inferior to that of the Purple Feather Eagle, at most, it can only reach the heaven level, and it is almost impossible to break through again." ”

Hearing this, everyone else was also a little relieved. If it is a demonic beast like the Purple Feather Eagle that can grow to the demigod level, even if it does not grow, it is only a ninth-level peak cultivation, which is much more terrifying than an ordinary ninth-level peak demonic beast. Under the same level, the average human race is not the opponent of Warcraft, let alone this kind of Warcraft that is much stronger than ordinary Warcraft of the same level. Moreover, this Purple Feather Eagle is still a flying demonic beast, which is even more difficult to deal with, because in addition to the wind magician who has reached the holy level can fly, unless it reaches the god-level level, it is absolutely impossible to fly, so the flying demonic beast is very difficult. Compared with the Purple Feather Eagle, with the same cultivation, although it is also a flying demonic beast, the Black-winged Bird is obviously much easier to deal with.

"Then let's move on. Caroline said that now that she had guessed the monsters she might encounter next, it would be easier to deal with them.

Snub Star nodded: "Be careful. This time, our task is to hone in the cooperation between us, so if you don't encounter a heaven-level black-winged bird, you will take action, and I won't take action. "His strength is too strong, even if it is only the strength shown on the surface, it is far stronger than the other four, so if it is a black-winged bird who has not reached the heaven level, once he makes a move, I am afraid that the battle will end immediately. Tang Juan had analyzed this mission before, if he came one-on-one, it would be impossible for anyone to get the Warcraft Demon Core that was higher than his own cultivation, after all, at the same level, the Terrans were basically not opponents of Warcraft with high physical strength and could also use magic. Therefore, if you want to complete this task, you must rely on the cooperation of the team, which is why Ms. Edwina tries to make the strength of the five people in each group as close as possible when grouping. Therefore, before facing the Heaven-level Demonic Beasts, they needed to go through several battles to hone their cooperation. Therefore, if the snub star made a move, then it would be very inconsistent with their original intention, and the ninth-level black-winged bird, after all, was a flying demonic beast, and it would not be killed so easily, so it was suitable to use it to practice for Tang Juan and the others.

"Okay," Caroline thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, let's change positions." "The Snub Star is the strongest, and it can respond to everyone at any time, so it will stand in the middle. Since the Snub Star may not make a move next, then the position of this strategy will be taken by Caroline, who is the strongest besides the Snub Star, and he should go to the rear, so as not to affect Caroline's battle. Snub Star also understands this, so he swaps places with Caroline.

In fact, through his spiritual power exploration, Snub Star had already discovered the existence of a black-winged bird, but he didn't say it. This black-winged bird has a ninth-level peak cultivation, and it is just right for Tang Juan to let them practice, so he just said that if he encounters a black-winged bird that is not a heaven-level black-winged bird, he will not make a move. And now, in the spirit power detection of the cold star, the black-winged bird should have discovered their traces and was flying towards them. This area is probably the territory of the black-winged bird, so it will not tolerate anyone entering it. Snub Star didn't remind Tang Juan of them, in addition to not wanting to expose his strength, it was because this black-winged bird should have Tang Juan and the four of them to defeat together. If he reminded him loudly, and let Don Juan and the others be alert in advance, the difficulty would be greatly reduced, and only when there was a certain degree of difficulty, their teamwork ability would improve the fastest.

Tang Juan and the four of them didn't know that the black-winged bird at the peak of the ninth level was approaching, but they walked cautiously, and just as they were moving forward, they suddenly heard a sharp birdsong, which went directly into the depths of their spirits, as if it was going to penetrate their bodies, causing a momentary shock to Tang Juan and their spirits. And at this moment, a black shadow rushed out of the canopy of a tree on their right at an extremely fast speed, and when the four of them didn't have time to react due to mental shock, they went straight to Don Juan. When Don Juan came to his senses, the dark shadow was already in front of him. Seeing that it was impossible to block with a sword, he gritted his teeth, and his body instantly lit up with the earthy yellow light of the earth-based fighting spirit, forming a pair of earth-colored illusory armor on his body, and just like that, he protected the door with his left hand without dodging. This is exactly what Don Juan is best at: Battle Armor! With the terrifying defensive power of this battle armor, even Caroline, whose attack power has exceeded the ordinary ninth-level peak, can hardly hurt him.

At the moment when Don Juan's battle armor had just formed, the black shadow of the sneak attack crashed into Don Juan's body with a loud bang. Under this collision, although Don Juan blocked the attack of the black shadow, the hand used to block it was almost shocked to the point of losing consciousness, he took four steps back in succession, and almost hit Caroline behind him, and the black shadow was bounced aside by Don Juan's battle armor after the attack failed. whereas

It was only then that everyone saw the true face of the dark shadow. This is a bird with a length of about half a meter, and its wings are only slightly more than half a meter long, and its body is not large, and compared to most magical beasts, it can even be regarded as small. Its body is grayish-white, but its wings are thick black, and when it moves, its wings flapped at high speed, and only a touch of black can be seen, like a black thunderbolt. This pair of pure black wings is the most eye-catching part of its body, and it is its wings that are the first thing you see at any time, hence the name of its black-winged bird.

Its beak and claws were red, as if it had been soaked in blood, and it was so sharp that even ordinary iron weapons could cut it off at once. In its small eyes, there was a violent red light, and it was obviously not a good kind. The Black-winged Bird is a dark monster with a violent and murderous personality, and is very cruel. Although it feeds on plants, if it sees other living magical beasts in its territory, it will kill them, so there are basically no other magical beasts in its territory. And Snub Star has not seen any other magical beasts since they arrived in this vicinity, and it is precisely because of this.

This black-winged bird just used a dark magic magic spell that would have a great impact on people's spirits in an instant, and the lowest level was also an eighth-level magic, so it would have an effect on Tang Juan and the others. Under normal circumstances, the power of eighth-level magic is about the same as the attack power of a ninth-level martial artist, and the magician can silently send a magic that is one level lower than his own cultivation, and although the silent hair of this magic takes a short time, it has the power to compete with the same martial artist as the magician, so when the magician fights alone, he generally uses the magic that is one level lower than his own cultivation to entangle with the martial artist and create time for himself to chant real magic, as long as his magic comes out, under the same level, the martial artist cannot resist at all, after all, the attack power of such magic has reached the level of a higher level of martial artist。 Warcraft are all magicians, and in addition, their physical strength can also compete with the fighting spirit of martial artists with the same cultivation, and it is precisely for this reason that under the same level, the human race is generally not the opponent of Warcraft. The Black-winged Bird is a dark magical beast, so it uses dark magic, and its attack power is quite strong. It was precisely because Tang Juan's cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level that he reacted when the black-winged bird was about to attack him and released the battle armor in time, otherwise Tang Juan would probably be hit the spot, after all, if he didn't use his fighting energy, the physical strength of the human race could be described as fragile for a demonic beast of the same level.
