Chapter 23: The Spirit of the Demon Beast (Three Watches)
The Beast Shadow is the spirit of the monster.
The spirit of the demon beast, like the soul of a human being, should be an existence that cannot be seen by the naked eye, but Yang Xiu ...... See!
Moreover, when the spirit of the demon beast entered his head, Yang Xiu felt very cool and comfortable, which was really weird.
Duan Chong, Ji He, Ying Bu, and Zhao Qiu were all colorless, and they didn't seem to see the faint beast shadow.
Yang Xiu obviously couldn't tell Duan Chong and the four of them about such strange things, although he was surprised in his heart, his face was not shocked.
The cool feeling disappeared after a while, and it seemed to ...... The spirit of the demon beast disappeared without a trace in Yang Xiu's mind.
"Gone?"
Yang Xiu was shocked in his heart, and immediately reacted, the demon beast spirit soul was very likely to be absorbed by the 'sword shadow' in his mind.
This can also explain why the spirit of the Iron Horned Ox rushed into Yang Xiu's mind after its death, obviously attracted by the 'Sword Shadow'.
Moreover, Yang Xiu was able to see the spirit of the Iron Horn Ox, which was also very strange, and it was inseparable from the 'sword shadow' in his mind.
"What is that sword shadow?" Yang Xiu was very curious in his heart.
Except for the night when he fell into the falling sword cliff, when Yang Xiu's life was threatened, he suddenly 'looked inward' and glanced at the sword shadow in his mind, and Yang Xiu never 'saw' it again, even ...... I can't feel the existence of the sword shadow.
Yang Xiu knew very well in his heart that the sword shadow did exist, and it had a great impact on his kendo cultivation.
Otherwise...... It was only three years of accumulation, and it was impossible for him to cultivate by such leaps and bounds.
That 'Sword Shadow' was Yang Xiu's greatest chance creation, Yang Xiu didn't know anything about it, he only knew that it was very beneficial to his cultivation.
Yang Xiu secretly said in his heart: "That sword shadow needs a demon beast spirit, I need to get some demon beast spirit soul for it to absorb, perhaps, when the sword shadow grows, it will have a better effect!"
Duan Chong broke open the head of the Iron Horn Ox and quickly dug out the demon crystal.
The first-order eightfold demon crystal is worth one hundred and twenty-eight points.
Duan Chong put the demon crystal into a bag, hung it on his waist, looked at the corpse of the ironhorn ox, and said, "It's a pity...... If the carcass of the Ironhorn is transported, it can be sold for a lot of money, but ...... Our trials matter.
It is also lucky to be able to find a first-order eightfold demon beast here, the higher the level of the demon beast, living in the deeper part of the Cangling Mountain Range.
If we want to find a large number of high-level demon beasts, we still have to continue to go deep into the mountains, and we don't have time to transport the corpse of this ironhorn ox out, so let's move on!"
Ji He, Ying Bu, and Zhao Qiu all nodded and agreed to move on.
Yang Xiu has no opinion.
Duan Chong led the way and continued deep into the Cangling Mountains.
At the end of the day, Yang Xiu and the five of them found a total of three demon beasts, two of which were of the first order and eight, and one of which was of the first order of seven, and they were all easily hunted by the five people.
After the death of the three-headed demon beast, Yang Xiudu saw their spirits and flew into his head, making him feel a burst of coolness.
Soon, the cool feeling disappeared again, and the spirit of the demon beast was absorbed by the 'sword shadow' in his mind.
At night, sprinkled animal repellent powder around, Yang Xiu and the five spent the night in the Cangling Mountains.
The duration of the trial lasted for a month, and the disciples who participated in the trial had to spend a month of night in the Cangling Mountains.
There are beast repellent fans, and the demon beasts will not approach in the dark night, and when it is dawn, Yang Xiu and the five of them continue to set off.
Duan Chong led the team forward, and kept heading towards the depths of the Cangling Mountain Range.
The next day, he encountered more demon beasts, two first-order eightfold and two first-order sevenfold! After these demon beasts died, the spirit of the demon beasts was absorbed by the 'sword shadow' in Yang Xiu's mind.
On the second night, continue to spend the night in the Cangling Mountains.
Yang Xiu closed her eyes, leaned against a big tree, and did not fall asleep, recalling the bits and pieces of the past two days in her mind.
Encountering the first demon beast, Duan Chong and the four of them all let Yang Xiu go first.
Later, the five of them worked together to hunt the demon beast, and Yang Xiu could feel that Duan Chong always intentionally or unintentionally, so that Yang Xiu faced the frontal attack of the demon beast and made Yang Xiu encounter danger.
"He seems to have been testing my strength, wanting to know my depth!"
Yang Xiu saw Duan Chong's purpose clearly.
Therefore, Yang Xiu has not used his true strength, but only showed the strength of a normal Ning Yuan Realm eightfold martial artist, which is comparable to the four of Duan Chong.
Duan Chong and the four of them thought that Yang Xiu was a chick without the meridians of the rivers and lakes, which was true, Yang Xiu did not have experience in the rivers and lakes, but he was not stupid!
"In the past two days, Duan Chong has been advancing towards the depths of the Cangling Mountain Range, and there is no lateral search at all, so advancing into the Cangling Mountain Range so straight should be beyond the scope of the trial, right?"
"Tutor Forestry suddenly asked Tutor Xie Siqi for someone, transferred me to the 995 class of disciples to practice together, and arranged for me to have four Duan Chong as teammates!"
"Entering the Cangling Mountain Range, Duan Chong has been testing my strength, and leading me deeper into the Cangling Mountain Range!"
"The combination of these two points really makes me wonder, do they want to deal with me in the Cangling Mountains?"
"I'm not familiar with them, I can't even talk about acquaintance, let alone a grudge, this shouldn't be, they have no reason to deal with me!"
"However, their actions are indeed strange, is it a coincidence, or do I think too much?"
"If you really want to deal with me, just Duan Chong, Ji He, Ying Bu, and Zhao Qiu are far from enough......! What kind of medicine are they selling in their gourds!"
......
Day 3.
Duan Chong led the team and continued to march towards the depths of the mountain range.
Yang Xiu asked, "Senior Brother Duan, we have already gone deep into the Cangling Mountain Range for a long distance, right, should we have already left the trial range of the sect?"
Duan Chong's expression was slightly surprised, and Yang Xiu's keen feeling in his heart said: "It shouldn't be yet, but it's soon, I am familiar with this area, and I know that there are a large number of high-level demon beasts in an area, even the first-order nine-fold demon beasts."
If we want to get good results and get the rewards of the sect, I think we should go there and hunt a first-order ninefold demon beast, but there are two hundred and fifty-six points, can you go?"
"Go, go, of course! There is Senior Brother Duan leading the way, what are you afraid of!" Ji He was the first to say.
"Go!"
"You can fight it!"
Ying Bu and Zhao Qiu said successively, concise and to the point.
"Senior Brother Yang, what about you?" Duan Chong asked Yang Xiu.
Duan Chong said that he hadn't left the trial area yet, but Yang Xiu felt that he had already left, and they had already arrived here, Yang Xiu said that he would not go, and Duan Chong and the four of them would probably not agree.
Yang Xiu wanted to see what Duan Chong wanted to do, and hunting more high-level demon beasts, the 'sword shadow' in his mind could absorb more beast souls, he didn't object, and nodded.
"Okay, let's go, we can get there today, and there will definitely be a bumper harvest!"
Duan Chongyi waved his hand, looking a little excited: "Let's go, this time the winter hunting trial, we will win!"
