Chapter 21: Hengduan Mountains (4)
In front of a cave somewhere in the Hengduan Mountain Range, a huge roar sounded, shaking the surrounding rocks and rolling down, and the earth was constantly shaking, so that the surrounding demonic beasts trembled and did not dare to approach. In the Hengduan Mountain Range, the powerful demonic beasts all have their own territories of different sizes, and the strength of the other demonic beasts in these territories is definitely not comparable to it, at least a big difference of a realm. For example, in the territory of a heaven-level peak demonic beast, there will definitely be no second heaven-level demonic beast, and the strongest is a ninth-level demonic beast, even if it is at the early stage of the heaven-level, it is impossible. Of course, this refers to the Solitary Warcraft, and the Hereditary Warcraft in groups will not be like this. And here, it is the territory of a Broken Rock Bear with a mid-level cultivation of the Heavenly Level, and the huge movement is obviously that this Broken Rock Bear is fighting with something, and it is a very difficult opponent, because this business has been going on for a while. These demonic beasts knew in their hearts that the two sides of this battle, no matter which one they were, were not comparable in strength, so none of the demonic beasts dared to approach, just hiding in the distance like this, anyway, even if another demonic beast occupied this place, it would not have much impact on them.
After a long time, the roar and the shaking of the earth finally stopped, and there were five men standing in the place where the battle was fought. The five people, two men and three women, one of them a young man with a pair of peach blossom eyes and the other three girls were sweating profusely at the moment, their faces were pale, and even their bodies were trembling, obviously extremely consumed, while the other young man with long silver hair was holding a long sword, standing quietly, looking indifferently ahead. In front of him was a huge demonic beast corpse. The carcass was left behind by a bear, it had brownish-gray fur, and it was unusually large, reaching a height of nearly a meter even when it fell to the ground, and when it stood up, it was probably at least three meters. With a pair of bear's paws and sharp claws, anyone who sees it will never doubt its great strength. If the demonic beasts in this vicinity can see this corpse, they will recognize it, this is the lord of the demonic beasts in this territory, the Broken Rock Bear. It is an earth-type demonic beast, not only is it extremely powerful, but even its fur is unusually thick and its defense is extremely strong. It is said that it has a trace of the blood of the Divine Beast Earth Demon Bear on its body, so its strength is a little stronger than that of ordinary mid-heaven-level demonic beasts, which is extremely terrifying. Around its corpse, the land had been shattered, leaving behind deep and huge cracks, all of which were left by its bear paws when they fell to the ground, and it was conceivable of its great strength.
It is conceivable that such a powerful demonic beast wants to kill it, but it will cost a great deal to snub Xing and others. At this moment, the fighting spirit of the four Tang Juan was almost exhausted, if the battle continued for a while and a half, their fighting spirit would really be exhausted, and they would definitely die at that time. And now, after killing this powerful demonic beast, due to the excessive consumption, the four of them immediately sat down, seizing the time to cultivate and replenish their fighting qi, after all, it was too dangerous here. Because the four of them had just fought a battle, their fighting energy consumption was too great, and their strength was not one in ten, and only Snub Star still maintained a certain combat effectiveness. Therefore, they should recover quickly and leave here, lest any powerful demonic beasts be attracted by the movement of the battle here.
However, fortunately, none of them were injured, because with the powerful attack power of this Broken Rock Bear, as long as Tang Juan and the others were hit by its attack, they would definitely be seriously injured on the spot immediately, after all, its power was too terrifying, and Tang Juan couldn't stop it at all. However, at the cost of its great power, Rock Shattering is very slow, about the same speed as Don Juan after using his battle armor, so they can avoid its attacks as much as possible, as long as they are careful with its earth-based magic. However, because its defense is too strong, the four of Don Juan can't hurt it at all, and can only help Snub Star to harass it somewhat, and even Snub Star's attack can only leave a shallow wound on its body, and it can't cause any substantial damage at all. In the end, it was the Snub Star who looked for an opportunity to stab the sword through its open mouth, piercing its skull, and that was the result of it. Although this battle did not last long, the pressure on Don Juan's four people was indeed the greatest in their lives, especially the psychological pressure, because once they were attacked, they would basically die, so they had to be cautious and highly concentrated, in order to avoid the possible attack of the Broken Rock Bear.
"How's that, has your vindictive spirit recovered a bit?" Snub Xing asked lightly.
Hearing his question, the four men opened their eyes and stood up from the ground. Caroline said: "We've recovered a bit, let's get out of here and find a safe place." ”
Snub Xing nodded: "We can already go back the way we came, leaving the Hengduan Mountains." ”
The others couldn't help but be stunned: "Leave?"
"That's right," Snub Star said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, with this Broken Rock Bear's core, all of us are now in a mission, right?"
Hearing the words of the snub star, the four of them couldn't help but be stunned: "Can we leave?" In this way, they have been in the peanut rice for ten days, although they are targeting the demon core of the mid-heaven-level demonic beast, but the complexity in the Hengduan Mountain Range is obviously beyond their imagination, and before they get the last heaven-level mid-level demon core, the other magic cores they have obtained have exceeded their needs. And now the time they spent is less than half a month, counting the time when they go back, it can be greatly shortened, and when they return to Oran City, there should be about a week left, which can be regarded as completing the task ahead of schedule.
However, although they only stayed in the Hengduan Mountains for ten days, it felt as if ten months had passed for them, and every moment they had to be alert to the danger that might strike, and they had to pay close attention to their surroundings every moment, except for hunting and recovering, there was no real rest at all, even the strict training they had received in the family before could not give them so much psychological pressure as here. Therefore, when they heard that they could go back, each of them couldn't help but relax a little.
"Well, now is not the time to relax," Don Juan was the first to regain his vigilance: "Let's get out of here first, and we'll talk about the rest of the rest later, I don't want to have a problem when I go back when I have completed my mission, wouldn't it be a pity." ”
Hearing Don Juan's words, Caroline and Ivy Erin also understood that although they had recovered some of their fighting spirit, the fighting spirit they recovered in such a short period of time was limited, and there was still a big difference between their combat effectiveness when they were in a complete state, so it was better to leave quickly, if they encountered a mid-heaven-level magical beast again, then I am afraid they would really die here. Under Don Juan's leadership, they quietly left from a completely different direction than when they came, while Snub Star followed them, and on the way, they also dealt with two ninth-level peak demonic beasts that they accidentally encountered. After moving away from the territory where the Broken Rock Bear was located, they found a cave where the monsters lived, and after killing the monsters inside, they entered the cave and began to regain their fighting spirit.
Since the consumption of the others this time was too great, by the time they had fully recovered their fighting spirit, half a day had passed, and the sun was about to set. Therefore, they simply spent the night in the cave, planning to return tomorrow, after all, they don't need to be in a hurry now, and Snub Star also needs time to recover, after all, they have been relying on him to support them before.
In the middle of the night, the cold star, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at everything in the cave. A faint starlight shone in from the entrance of the cave and hit Caroline, who was sitting on her knees at the entrance of the cave, forming a graceful silhouette on the ground. Looking at this scene, Snub Star suddenly felt a little dazed, and a scene in another cave seemed to appear in front of his eyes. The strange runes that shone on the walls of the cave, the silver starlight shining through the entrance of the cave, the woman who was half-kneeling on the ground, unable to see her face because her back to the starlight, and her beautiful figure reflected on the ground. He knew that he would never forget the woman, her peaceful, graceful, and wise voice. He stared at it for a moment, then closed his eyes again.
The next day, when the sky was bright, the five of them walked out of the cave in the warm sunshine. They hadn't been heading towards the depths of the Hengduan Mountains before, but they had only slowly circled around after reaching a place, looking for demonic beasts, otherwise they would have already passed through the Hengduan Mountains in ten days. Of course, they don't have that kind of strength. Therefore, if they want to go back, it will not take them ten days, and they will probably be able to leave the Hengduan Mountains in about five days.
At noon, when they walked past the place where they had encountered a Heaven-level early stage demonic beast before, Snub Star suddenly said, "Okay, it's almost safe here, and with your strength next, as long as you are careful, there shouldn't be much of a problem getting out of the Hengduan Mountain Range." ”
Hearing this, the others couldn't help but be stunned. Don Juan was the first to react and frowned: "What about you?"
"I plan to stay here for a few more days," Snub Star said lightly, "You guys come here, there shouldn't be much of a problem with safety on the way back, you go back with the demon core first, and I will come back before the time of a month is up." ”
"What, you're still going to stay here?" Don Juan was amazed, as he had no idea that Snub Star was going to stay here for a while.
Ivy said worriedly, "It's not good, it's too dangerous." Along the way, she understood that the strength of the snub star was very strong, but even so, it shouldn't be so risky.
"It's fine. Snub Star said lightly. Hearing Snub Star's words, Don Juan's brows furrowed even deeper, as if he had thought of something.
The crowd was silent for a while, and Caroline suddenly said, "Then you must come back then, or you will be expelled from school." Along the way, she has gained a deeper understanding of the character of the snub star. Although she didn't know what Snub Star was hiding from them, once he wanted to avoid them and do something, they couldn't stop it, just like when he was in the Dark Forest before, saying that he kept vigil by himself all night, but she was sure what Snub Star did that night. Whenever this happens, she feels that the distance between the cold star and them becomes extraordinarily distant. Looking at Snub Star's appearance, she knew that it was impossible to persuade him to go back with them, so she had to do this.
Snub nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked in the direction they had come before. Looking at his back, Don Juan sighed, knowing that it was useless to say anything more, turned around and walked in the opposite direction to the cold star, and the others followed behind them as well. In this way, the distance between Snub Star and them gradually narrowed until neither side could see the other. At this moment, Snub Star suddenly stopped, glanced in the direction of Don Juan and the others left, and turned back when he confirmed that they couldn't feel themselves. However, at this moment, a faint silver light emanated from his body, and his speed suddenly accelerated. If Don Juan could see this scene, he would definitely be surprised to find that Snub Star's speed at this moment was several times faster than the fastest speed they had seen him before.
The cold star moved forward at high speed, and his spiritual power also spread out, probing all movements within a radius of several kilometers. He was extremely fast now, and it didn't take long for him to get back to the place where the five of them had fought the Rock Breaker Bear. However, he did not stop, but headed towards the deepest part of the most dangerous Hengduan Mountain Range, and did not even hide his own aura in the slightest. However, on the way he passed, he didn't encounter a single demonic beast, as if the entire Hengduan Mountain Range was suddenly left with only Snub Star. If you expand your field of vision a little more, you can see that there are not no demonic beasts near the cold star, and even the heaven-level demonic beasts have four heads. However, when the Snub Star passed by, they were desperately shrinking their breath and cowering into their lair, as if they had encountered something terrible. It was an extremely powerful aura, which was rare in their lives, so that they could not raise the slightest idea of resistance, so they could only try to weaken their sense of existence, hoping that the other party would not be interested in them.
Gradually, Snub Star had basically reached the core area of the Hengduan Mountain Range, and he had already discovered a lot of heaven-level demonic beasts here, even saint-level demonic beasts. However, since he didn't hide his aura at all, although this was undoubtedly a provocation for the Demon Beasts, these Saint-level Demon Beasts didn't even come to ask for trouble, but instead avoided him from a distance. There are no demigod-level demonic beasts in the Hengduan Mountain Range, and the strongest is only a saint-level demonic beast. After all, this Hengduan Mountain Range is only five days away from Oran City, the capital of the Orlan Empire, and it is impossible for the Orlan Empire to tolerate the existence of demigod-level demonic beasts near its capital, which will be a great threat, after all, the destructive power of the demigod-level is too great, and in order to ensure the safety of the capital, it must be eradicated. Probably because every certain world, the powerhouses of the Orlan Empire would come to the Hengduan Mountain Range to clean up, and these saint-level demonic beasts were extremely cautious.
