Yunta Mountain Range, located in the northwest of Yunta Town, close to the ancestral house of the Du family, a radius of thousands of miles, the mountains are densely wooded, strange peaks are listed, all kinds of beasts around are living here, there is no shortage of some monsters comparable to human warriors, war divisions, and even war division level, these monsters are some alone, some live in groups, each has its own territory, once it crosses the border, it will trigger a battle, until one side surrenders and escapes.

This mountain range is divided into the periphery, the inner perimeter and the center, the center is the forbidden place for our human warriors, and in the outer and inner enclosures, there is no certain strength or killing tricks to spend there safely, but this is also a treasure hunting, a paradise to make a fortune, and there are some high-level beasts in the inner perimeter that are full of treasures and can be sold for a lot of money!

There was once a warrior who caught a golden eagle bear on the periphery, sold it directly for a high price, and invested all the money to buy resources and exercises, and forcibly raised himself by two levels, so this is a place where risks and opportunities coexist, although many people die every year, but there are still many people who come to look for opportunities.

At this time, at the corner of the mountain range, a column was slowly coming along the rugged mountain road, and at this time in front of the team, "Senior sister, you see that we are almost close to the inner circle, so we must be cautious next, there are often high-level beasts here!" A young man said.

This boy was wearing a cloud brocade robe, with a fairy pattern jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a pair of azure eyes were staring at a young girl, with a strange light in his eyes.

The girl has a fair almond face, long black and thick hair hanging down her ears, beautiful eyes, wearing an embroidered jacquard dress, wearing a pair of red gold filigree bracelets on her hands like congealed fat, and holding her waist, the whole person looks beautiful.

"Hmm," the beautiful girl's face showed a subtle look, full of disgust, disdain...

They came from a nearby city called Wancheng, where there were many monks, mixed fish and dragons, and there were many gangs, and there were three major forces in the city: "Wanfu", "Shenkong Gate", and "Qingxuan faction". Wanfu is in control of this city on the surface, but those who know the inside know that there are two other forces comparable to Wanfu, that is, the "Shenkong Gate" and the "Qingxuan faction".

And the two people who are now hunting in the Yunta Mountain Range are the disciples of the Qingxuan Sect, and the young son and the girl who walked in front are the second-generation disciples of the five elders of the Qingxuan Sect Elders, Bai Lie and Zhihui, and the young son is the second son of the Wancheng Bai family.

The power of the Bai family is second only to the three major forces, so the Bai family spent money to arrange the second son Bai Lie in the Qingxuan faction and worship the five elders as teachers. The girl Zhihui grew up in the Qingxuan faction since she was a child, and her qualifications and talents were good, and she cultivated from an outer disciple to an internal disciple, and was later accepted as a disciple by the five elders. This time, in order to complete the mission, they will come out to hunt together.

"Senior sister, this time we went out hunting, I asked my father to invite a team of mercenaries to protect us, otherwise this mission will definitely not be completed by the two of us alone, the master is really, we have to come to this place to do the task!" Bai Lie said proudly as he walked.

"Hmm..."Zhihui replied softly, without looking at Bai Lie, and walked forward.

"Hmph, pretend to be high, if it weren't for the mercenary I called, how could you be so easy, wait until you complete the task, hehe..." Bai Lie stopped to look at Zhihui's wonderful figure, licked his tongue, and muttered a sound that only he could hear.

......

At this time, in the other corner of the mountain range, Du Fan was holding his first-class inferior combat knife and cutting off the head of a tiger, blood was pouring everywhere, and small blood droplets splashed on his snow-white clothes.

Du Fan looked at the clothes and said helplessly: "Old man, why is my knife so blunt, they all say that there is no blood in killing, look at my clothes, it will be over when my mother finds out;

Du Fan sneaked out of the house this time, first, to come out to practice, and secondly, the enemy is current, and it is too depressing to stay at home. Besides, Du Fan had never killed a living being, so this time he first encountered a wild wolf, and he didn't know where to start, if it wasn't for Old Man Hao to remind him, Du Fan would probably be injured.

"Stinky boy, your natal combat knife is only at the first level now, it's good to be able to kill beasts, if it weren't for your full fighting energy, you might not be able to break the defenses of these beasts! The combat knife can be strengthened, but it is not suitable here, I will tell you again when I have a chance, master, I am a strengthener!" the old man said in Du Fan's body.

When Du Fan heard this, he rolled his eyes and looked indignant!

"Fan'er, be careful!" a hurried voice sounded in Du Fan's mind.

At this time, a huge black shadow went straight to Du Fan's back at a lightning speed, Du Fan's cold hair stood up, his whole body was boiling, and he slammed the war knife behind his back, only to see a "bang", as if metal collided, Du Fan flew forward with the knife, and there was a stinging pain behind him, Du Fan didn't care about the injury, turned over on the ground, stood up, and retreated quickly.

Du Fan stared at this monster, quickly retreated, and pulled away for a hundred feet, the clothes behind him were already soaked with blood.

"Oh my God, what kind of monster is this, it's so big!" Du Fan exclaimed.

"The giant lion beast, which looks like a male lion, has two horns on its head, has rough skin and thick flesh, is characterized by a very large body, agile movements, extremely fast speed, and its strength is equivalent to that of a human eight-star high-level warrior!"

The giant lion beast's eyes were hideous, staring at Du Fan "roaring" and roaring, its body leaning down slightly, ready to charge strength. At this time, Du Fan also came back to his senses, took out a blood return pill from his arms, swallowed it in one gulp, and held the natal war knife with both hands, only to see Du Fan's blood boiling, concentrating his whole body battle qi on the war knife, emitting a dazzling light.

Seeing this, the giant lion beast made a "bang" sound, like a bow and arrow off the string, and instantly flew in front of Du Fan's eyes, a giant claw slashed over like an axe, Du Fan didn't dare to slack off, his body moved, and the glowing war knife slashed upwards like a shuttle, Du Fan actually wanted to defend the giant lion beast.

"Poof" a mouthful of blood spit out, the war knife was shaken away, Du Fan flew upside down like a cloud, and even after landing on the ground, he still rolled out of the distance, hitting a big stone, only to hear a "boom", the stone exploded, leaving dust all over the ground.

The giant lion was also uncomfortable, and its right claw had been cut open, spilling a little blood. Unexpectedly, Du Fan's full force hit almost didn't hurt the beast, but the giant lion beast was angry and went crazy!

Du Fan lay on the ground, in pain, struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, I haven't fought so cool for a long time, happy, Du Fan's fighting spirit is full, and the battle spirit is burning like a fire!

"Stinky boy, the beast's skin is thick and its defense is extremely high, you are not its opponent now, but if you can comprehend the four-character mantra in the first volume of the Heavenly Formula, there may be unexpected results!" At this moment, in Du Fan's mind, a voice slowly came.

"Yes, I almost forgot, the four-character mantra in the first volume is "Phantom Blade Slash", uh, the brain is not good, old man, what do you mean?"

"Comprehend it yourself...", there was no sound, and Du Fan rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Bang" Du Fan was knocked away again, and now he was beaten around by the giant lion beast like a sandbag, covered in injuries.

The giant lion beast was a little impatient, this human looked weak, how could he be so durable, but he didn't know that Du Fan's physical strength was a one-star high-level warrior, several levels higher than it!

However, the giant lion beast was really angry, it roared, and saw that its huge body suddenly slowly became smaller, and finally shrunk to the size of an ordinary lion, and its body faintly exuded an aura beyond that of a warrior!

"Phantom blade slash, the emphasis is on chopping words, it's nothing more than taking a knife to cut, the phantom blade is just... Hahaha, I finally understand!" In an instant, the surging battle qi in Du Fan's body "boomed", as if it exploded, and became stronger, Du Fan broke through to the nine-star mid-level warrior, "Come on, giant lion beast"!

The speed of the giant lion beast was even faster, leaving behind the afterimage of the road when it rushed over, and its smaller claws flew over like meteorites, bringing bursts of sonic booms, and the small pebbles next to it were blown up and flew wildly.

In the face of the attack of the giant lion beast, Du Fan subconsciously felt a trace of crisis, this is the biggest danger that Du Fan has faced in his life, Du Fan did not dare to be careless, he exhaled deeply, closed his eyes, and concentrated all his mental power to feel the breath of the giant lion beast, at the same time, the battle qi in the dantian surged to the whole body like a tide, Du Fan picked up the war knife with both hands, leaned down slightly, tiptoed, "pop", rushed over like an eagle...

The two afterimages collided together as promised, making a piercing sound, the claws of the giant lion beast were strong and hard, and Du Fan's war knife was not to be outdone, but after a few rounds, Du Fan's blade appeared one by one, and Du Fan gradually became at a disadvantage, "Hey, the four-character magic power will be used after all..."

Du Fan muttered, only to see that the natal battle knife changed color in an instant, turning milky white, at this time, the giant lion beast seemed to sense the crisis, and became even more frenzied, but it was too late, the speed of the natal battle knife suddenly accelerated.

"Phantom... Blade... Join... Du Fan picked up the war knife and slashed down like a shadow, it seemed that a trace of black holes appeared in the surrounding space, the giant lion beast's iron-like claws resisted a little, and another knife was cut down, and the crazy war knife slashed hundreds of times like a meteor, only to see that the giant lion beast had no power to parry, and half of his palm was cut off in an instant.

"Roar, roar, roar..."The giant lion beast burst out with a cry of pain, seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately wanted to turn around and run away, how could Du Fan let it get his wish, the battle spirit passed to the knife like a substance, only to see that the milky white war knife turned into milk white, and the attack power increased greatly, Du Fan picked up the war knife and slashed wildly, the palm of the giant lion beast only resisted for a moment and was completely cut off, and then slashed at the body of the giant lion beast, "Woo... Woo... Whoa...", the screams were endless. In a moment, the giant lion beast was split open and died.

Du Fan put away the battle knife and looked at the giant lion beast that was already dead, his tense body finally relaxed, the battle qi in the dantian was exhausted, and a sense of emptiness and powerlessness arose, but after this battle, Du Fan felt that his rapidly improved level was more solid, and there would be no sequelae.

At this moment, Du Fan was about to clean the wounds on his body, and suddenly, he glanced at the corpse of the giant lion beast, and it seemed that something glowing was reflected, which was very dazzling.

Du Fan stepped forward and squatted down, peeled off the body of the giant lion beast, and found that there were crystal clear things in the belly and chest cavity of the giant lion beast, a bit like a stone, Du Fan cut one down, held it in his hand, similar to an ordinary stone, but heavier and smoother on the surface,

Du Fan wondered, "Hey, what is this?"

"This is the Strengthening Stone..."Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in Du Fan's mind.
