The east courtyard of the Zhenwu Academy is located in the area of the Divine Beast Mountain Range between the Mizusawa Country and the Wuyang Kingdom, according to legend, in ancient times, there is a divine beast as the king here, the divine beast is mighty and brave like a lion, the curve is beautiful like a leopard, and there are wings that are fast like thunder and lightning, after cultivating into a human form, the place is alone, and the beasts bow down.

Legend has it that no one knows what kind of cultivation the divine beast is, but it is said that the nearby martial arts are not easy to enter the core area of this mountain range, but only operate in the periphery; it is also said that there was once a martial saint cultivator who wanted to enter the core area of this mountain range to hunt rare spirit beasts, and he went away from this place in three days, and did not carry the spirit beasts, and later the martial saint disciples did not enter the area of Shuize and Wuyang.

Until 300 years ago, there were more and more people who went into the mountains to collect medicine and trappers, at first it was still only on the periphery, and then there were bold people who coveted profits, in order to obtain elixirs and spirit beasts, and gradually went deeper and deeper into the mountains, and then it gradually spread that although the deeper into the mountains, there were more beasts and higher levels, but the news that the beasts had already left this mountain range, and there was also news that the beasts were dead, anyway, there were more and more people who slowly cultivated martial arts to come here to practice.

More than 100 years ago, the True Martial Sect wanted to open the East and West Courtyards in the Wuqi Continent, and the strong martial arts in the sect walked in the Divine Beast Mountain Range for more than a month, and finally set up the East Courtyard on the periphery of the mountain range, and took advantage of the terrain to set up a place for disciples to cultivate, among which a source beast forest outside the mountain gate is extremely famous.

Now, Elder He was leading six True Martial Academy disciples and 102 True Martial Academy candidate disciples from Nanjun to the East Courtyard of True Martial Academy located in the Divine Beast Mountain Range.

In line with the intention of observing the future disciples from the experience, Elder He divided the remaining 100 disciples into five groups, except for the two "leyline geniuses" with him, and the five disciples outside the field each led a team and marched forward in order.

These 100 candidate disciples were followed by some martial artists, most of whom were retinues sent by families with backgrounds such as Nan Yusheng, Yan Wuji, and Fang Zhan to escort the little master. Elder He didn't stop them from following, but he didn't allow them to help the candidate disciples casually.

Every day, the place where they settled was the wilderness, and each group of disciples set up their own tents, prepared food, and kept vigil and patrol.

As a "leyline genius" and the youngest girl among everyone, Yan Wuji received special care, Elder He allowed Yan Kang and the others to set up a separate tent and prepare food for Yan Wuji next to his tent, and Yan Kang led people to build Yan Wuji's tent "by the way" to build a place for Ling Han, as if Ling Han was really the son and nephew of the King of Immortal County, Elder He didn't say anything.

These more than 100 disciples are also martial artists who have been practicing for several years, and they are the best selected among thousands of martial artists, although most of them have never had this kind of training, but compared with the usual cultivation, they don't feel hard, but because most of them have never been far away, they are a little excited to see the scenery different from their hometown at this time, and they are also excited because they are getting closer and closer to the cultivation holy land in their minds.

It was in this mood that the team had already arrived in the Divine Beast Mountain Range area, and according to the speed of the team, it would take about another three or five days to reach the East Courtyard of the True Martial Academy.

Starting from entering the area of the Divine Beast Mountain Range, after camping every day, each team of warriors will hunt some small beasts as fresh ingredients in the forest near the camp under the leadership of the captain. Yu Ye and the other six disciples also often went to the Source Beast Forest and some other areas to hunt beasts when they were cultivating in the mountain gate, knowing that there were no too fierce beasts on the outskirts of the mountain range, and ordinary martial artists would go deeper to practice.

On the evening of the second day after entering the Divine Beast Mountain Range, Yu Ye and the others found a relatively open flat land in the mountains and forests to prepare for camping, and then each team divided half of the team members to set up tents and prepare firewood, water, etc., while the other half of the team members followed the captain out to hunt small beasts.

Because he was more familiar with Fang Zhan, Yan Wuji still followed Fang Zhan's team out to hunt like the day before, while Ling Han stood silently next to Yan Wuji most of the time, naturally following Fang Zhan's team.

The captain of Fang Zhan's team is a young woman named Li Xia, about 20 years old, under thin eyebrows, a pair of small eyes, very smiling, her eyes will squint into a slit when she smiles, she is very affinity, everyone privately calls her "Senior Sister Li who loves to laugh".

Senior Sister Li, who loves to laugh, has a gentle temperament, but it is said that she has good skills, and among the six disciples brought out by Elder He, only Yu Ye can defeat her. Seeing that Yan Wuji followed Li Xia towards the forest, Elder He just told Li Xia to "take care of them".

Of course, Li Xia understood what Elder meant, and the other team members naturally had to take care of it, but it was not enough for Elder He to tell him alone, and the "they" in Elder He's mouth naturally referred specifically to Yan Wuji and Ling Han.

Li Xia had already taken Yan Wuji and the others on a hunt on the first day, and she liked this 10-year-old girl very much, so she asked Yan Wuji and Ling Han to follow her.

After the team of 13 people entered the forest, they searched quietly in a fan shape in pairs, and after searching for a long time, they did not encounter the small beast.

Yan Wuji had been following Li Xia's side, and suddenly pointed to the left front, and said, "Senior sister, let's go over there and see?" Li Xia had no choice but to ask everyone to continue the search to the left front. After turning the direction, Yan Wuji fell to the last position, and Ling Han saw her quietly pasting a paper talisman on the tree behind her.

The team walked for more than ten minutes, and sure enough, they found a black bear of half size, Li Xia asked 5 team members to attack the black bear in five directions, and the other 5 team members guarded the east, south and west directions of the periphery.

Ten minutes later, the five members of the team in charge of the attack had killed the black bear, and everyone returned to the camp with the booty.

On the way, Yan Wuji found an opportunity and whispered to Ling Han, "Today at midnight, let's come back to find something." ”

Ling Han nodded.

Because there was a lot of delay in searching for the little beast at the beginning, by the time Li Xia's team returned to the camp, all the other teams had already returned.

After cleaning up, everyone sat around the fire and began to prepare for the dinner party lively, and the situation was the same as the first night: the teams competed with each other, and each boasted about how his team members had cultivated and fought fierce beasts.

When everyone was tired and went into the tent to rest, only five teenagers sitting around the fire were left keeping vigil.

In the middle of the night, the door of Yan Wuji's tent was gently opened, and Yan Wuji, who was dressed in black, poked his head out and looked left and right, and then quickly walked along the edge of the tent to a tent on the north side like a little raccoon.

Yan Wuji's tent was on the west side of Elder He's tent, which was not the most central location, but once something happened, Elder He would be able to protect her as soon as possible, and on the north side of the tent was Ling Han's tent, and further north was the tent of Yan Kang and other entourage, and further north was the edge of the forest.

Every night, in addition to the night vigil disciples arranged by Yu Ye, Yan Kang would arrange an entourage to guard Ling Han and Yan Wuji's tent for special protection. And tonight, Yan Kang asked the entourage who was scheduled to keep vigil to rest, and he guarded outside the tent.

Yan Kang saw Yan Wuji's figure, pretending to patrol back and forth, looking around, and coughing lightly when he passed by Ling Han's tent.

A man in black immediately quietly walked out of Ling Han's tent, and after meeting with Yan Wuji, Yan Wuji pasted a talisman paper on each of them, and then the two walked towards the forest through the tent of Yan Kang and others.

As soon as the two entered the woods, they heard someone not far away, "Who?"

Then Yan Kang's voice was smiling: "It's okay, Ling Han's son has a bad stomach, just go to the woods to solve it." ”
