Time is gradually passing, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed since the Dugu family test!

In the course of this month, Dugu Zixuan, with the "help" of the Holy Elder, had raised his strength to the peak of the power of the ninth stage of the Holy Sword, and he was only one step away from that Holy Priest!

"Uncle An, can you tell me about your current strength?" Looking at Uncle An, who looked kind to him, Dugu Zixuan asked strangely.

"Hehe......" Uncle An laughed loudly for a long time.

"What's the matter, now I want to know Uncle An's strength so much......! You have just stepped into the martial arts now, and you must believe that in this strange continent, only the martial arts are the unchanging truth! and only the martial arts can get there!" After speaking, Uncle An pointed to the sky with his withered fingers.

"Uncle An, although I don't understand what you said, but I know that your words are definitely not groundless! I believe in my own perseverance! I have endured it all these years, and the pain is nothing to me!" Looking at Uncle An's cloudy eyes, Dugu Zixuan said firmly.

"Huh...... Little guy, you think things too simply, you must know that martial arts are difficult to get to the sky, hehe, now your Uncle An has just stepped into the beginning of martial arts, and then you will really understand what Uncle An said today!"

Although Dugu Zixuan didn't believe what Uncle An said, Uncle An's last words completely disrupted Dugu Zixuan's young and turbulent heart!

"Uncle An said that he has just stepped into the beginning of the martial arts, is it really that difficult to do the martial arts?"

"Hmph, no matter how difficult it is, since God has let Dugu Zixuan live again, then I have to take advantage of this opportunity!"

"Teacher, now I feel that I am in a bottleneck period, I want to go out and practice, and by the way, see if I can break through to the saint!" Dugu Zixuan said.

"Well, in the past month, the teacher feels that you still lack a breakthrough opportunity, maybe going out to experience is also a very good choice, but how long do you want to go out this time!" asked the holy elder strangely.

"I think there will be at least one to one and a half years, because there are still two years to be the day when the Imperial Divine Martial Academy will enroll students, and the Fallen Leaf Sect is undoubtedly a behemoth for me, but I will not give up, and by the way, I also want to see how capable I am among those geniuses in the Divine Dragon Empire!"

"Okay! I'll go crazy with you for a teacher! Rest today, and set off early tomorrow morning! Target-Despair Forest!" said the old saint proudly.

The next day, as soon as the sky cleared, Dugu Zixuan changed and left the Dugu family, no one knew where he was going, and Dugu Zixuan did not contact anyone in the Dugu family, so he left a letter to Uncle An, saying his thoughts!

Dugu Zixuan, who was walking alone on the road, also felt a little lonely at this time, after all, the current Dugu Zixuan was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child!

"Zixuan, there are five people in front, it seems to be a small mercenary group, the most powerful of them is only a two-star saint, the others are not worth mentioning, you can go over and go with them!" This is the voice of the Holy Elder.

Sure enough, when Dugu Zixuan walked forward for about a hundred meters, he really saw five people, four men and one woman, talking under a huge tree......!

"Hello, can I stay with you?" Because it was a request for others, Dugu Zixuan didn't use any indifferent tone.

"Little brother, seeing that you are not very old, how could you come to the Despair Forest by yourself?" the two-star saint asked at this time.

"Hehe, something happened at home, so I had to ......" After speaking, Dugu Zixuan made a simple gesture and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Dugu Zixuan was originally tall, and after the training of the Holy Elder Na Feiren, coupled with the maturity of his heart, no one thought that Dugu Zixuan was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child!

"Hehe, since it's the reason at home, then it's inconvenient for us to ask! Hello, my name is Qingtian, we are all from the Qingtian mercenary group, and they are my members!"

"Hehe, it turned out to be Brother Qingtian!My name is Zixuan!" Dugu Zixuan didn't use his real name outside, only the word Zixuan.

"Haha...... Little Brother Zixuan, then sit down and have some food together! The four of them are Liu Mang, Ye Tian, and King Kong, and that beauty is the baby of our mercenary group!

"Hello, my name is Zixuan......" After speaking, Dugu Zixuan sat on the ground.

At this time, the beautiful woman named Piaoxue rolled her eyes and asked slyly: "How old are you this year, why do I feel that your age is so young! It seems that you are at least five years younger than me, hehe, tell me your real age!!"

"Drifting Snow, how can you ask someone's age when you see them!" Qingtian said with a helpless look.

Dugu Zixuan thought in his heart, it seems that this beauty is still a very sensitive person!

"Got it!Uncle! Rory is verbose, and I don't ask you about your age, but you tell me yourself, I don't want to listen to it yet!" After speaking, the person named Piaoxue pouted and walked to the side, bowing his head and eating the barbecue.

After the other three people saw this scene, they all wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and the puppet was holding back, and their whole faces became red.

Seeing this Qingtian also felt very helpless, but there was nothing to do, Piaoxue was the treasure of his own mercenary group, thinking of this, Qingtian only shook his head slightly, and then said: "Okay, don't make trouble, there is still an hour to go, don't forget the purpose of our coming, besides, the first-level magic horn fox is not so easy to subdue, hurry up and rest, and prepare for battle in an hour!"

"Brother Qingtian, are you doing a mission?" asked Dugu Zixuan strangely at this time.

"A few of us just took over a task today to hunt and kill a first-level devil-horned fox, and the bonus is 1w gold coins, although the devil-horned fox is not the most powerful in the first-level demonic beasts, but his speed is indeed very fast, a few of us want to try our luck!

"Oh! I see, Brother Qingtian, if you don't dislike it, I can do this task with you, don't worry, I don't want any reward!" Dugu Zixuan said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, but we are not absolutely sure that we will be able to complete this task, and in the process of hunting, we have no intention of protecting you, we can only rely on your own strength!" said after a moment's thought.

"There's no problem with this!" Dugu Zixuan agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, come with us......!"

A group of six people slowly walked towards the old nest of the devil-horned fox, and from time to time there were bursts of roars, like a frightening requiem.

"Okay, everyone, don't go forward, go further, the Devil-Horned Fox will probably find us, now we're here to rest now, King Kong, take out what we've prepared, and light it!"

King Kong nodded slightly, took out a plant similar to vanilla from his arms, and burned it!

"Brother Qingtian, what are you doing here?" Dugu Zixuan asked puzzled.

"Brother Zixuan, do you know, this grass is called Horned Fox Grass, it is specially used to deal with the Devil Horned Fox, this grass will emit a special smell when burned, and after the Devil Horned Fox asked about this taste, the speed will drop by a third within half an hour! We spent a few hundred gold coins to buy such a little for this mission!"

After hearing Qingtian's explanation, Dugu Zixuan nodded thoughtfully!

After about twenty minutes of burning, a roar suddenly came from the cave of the Devil-Horned Fox, and then I saw a yellow demonic beast rushing out of the mouth of the cave, and this demonic beast had three tails!

"Three-tailed Demon Horn Fox, oh my God! This Demon Horned Fox turned out to be a second-level Demonic Beast!" said Piaoxue, who was on the side at this time.
