Chapter 43: This Is the Beginning

The sky was slightly bright, and it was just when dawn broke, but the air was still shrouded in a layer of gray-white mist, lining the black and oppressive Netherworld Forest below, which was extremely weird!

There was a dead silence on the hill where the fierce battle last night was fierce, and you could see broken dry bones everywhere, this is what those fourth-level ghouls looked like after they were killed, and occasionally a piece of dry bones broke with a "snap", but then it fell silent again.

On the hill, the three of Yun Hao of the Nine Divine Palace were recovering their mana with all their might, and not far from them, a tall young man looked thoughtfully into the distance, and there was always a cynical smile on his face, which could unconsciously give people the illusion that as long as he was by his side, no matter what difficulties could be overcome.

On the other side of the hill, Mu Feixue lowered her head slightly, and seemed to be paying all her attention to the delicate flying sword in her hand.

"Feng Ruo, it's useless, the fourth-level ghouls here are just condensed by the Netherworld Miasma, not only can they never be killed, but they also don't have the Five Elements Stone in their bodies, even if they are that kind of fifth-level ghouls, the chance of having the Five Elements Stone is also small and pitiful, if you kill a hundred, you may be able to get a low-grade Five Elements Stone!"

I don't know how long it took, Mu Feixue finally couldn't help but speak, she really felt incredible, is there such a greedy man in this world? There is no grace at all, after she and Yan Zichen teamed up to kill all the ghouls, this letter will immediately rummage around in the countless dry bone piles, if there can be five element stones in these bones, it will be fine, but in fact, even if you rummage through them all, you may not be able to find ten low-grade five element stones!

And this is still in front of many disciples of the Nine Divine Palace, this is simply too cheap!

"Oh!"

Feng Ruo replied slightly, and his figure slowly stood up, of course he knew this common sense, he was just looking for something to do for himself!

"When I go back from this training, I will let Senior Brother Wan promote you to an official disciple of the Sword Heart Academy, if you want to come to the Lingshan Academy, you can do that!" Mu Feixue hesitated and said, "Your qualifications, I have seen it, in your lifetime, the chance of being able to pass the Jindan period is very slim! So, you might as well put all your mind on cultivation, in this way, you may have a chance!"

"Anything else?"

Feng Ruo turned around slowly, but the smile on his face was extremely bright.

"I'll help you as much as I can, for example, the medium-grade Five Elements Stone that you urgently need right now!"

"No, I just believe that things are man-made, because no one knows what the future holds? It's like no one can guess that this sect will actually win this first competition! You didn't guess either? Uncle Xue!"

Feng Ruo gave a bow calmly, turned around and returned to the top of the hill, and meditated quietly!

An hour later, the number of people on the hill has increased to more than 100 people, but this is all the disciples of the Nine Divine Palace and Zhentian Sect this time, at this time, the latecomers knew that the competition between the two major sects had started last night, and finally Zhentian Sect won by a narrow margin!

But that's just a piece of cake, because there's still a long month ahead!

"All the disciples of the two sects, listen, you only have time to prepare a hot tea now, and in the next month, you will need to hike through the entire Netherworld Forest! Remember, it is on foot! No one is allowed to use flying mounts, otherwise once discovered, they will be cleared out of the training team immediately! Of course, except for the flying of Edgeworth, but if you want to do this, you had better think about the price first! And the first ten people to reach the finish line will receive rich rewards, among these ten people, the sect of the Nine Divine Palace and the Zhentian Sect occupies the highest proportion, whichever sect wins! However, in view of the possibility that there may be a corpse king in the Netherworld, you can form a team on your own, but the number of people in each team must not exceed five!"

"In addition, if you encounter an irresistible danger, you only need to send a signal, and within ten breaths, we will quickly come to the rescue, but this will be regarded as an automatic withdrawal from this experience! Also, the disciples of the two sides must not have conflicts, and once the violator is discovered, the experience qualification will be cancelled immediately! Now, you can choose your own companions and set off!"

Before the elder of the Nine Divine Palace's leading elder spoke, the experienced disciples of the two major sects rushed into the Netherworld Forest not far away, and after three breaths, there were only seven people left on the hill, in addition to the six masters who led the team and the two sects, there was also a Feng Ruo!

"Haha! Feng Ruo! Your popularity is too bad! Okay, don't be stunned, let's go quickly! If you encounter any danger, just enter the mana into your identity waist card! The old man promises to save you, and if you can get out of the Netherworld Forest smoothly this time, the old man can promote you to an official disciple of this academy!"

The head of the Kenshin Courtyard laughed and laughed!

"Thank you, Master Master!" Feng Ruo also smiled a little helplessly, he really didn't expect to be rejected by those guys to such an extent, what's wrong with him alone, and he may not really be held back?

Bowing slightly to Mu Feixue and the other six people, Feng Ruo turned around and rushed into the Netherworld Forest unhurriedly, and now he didn't expect to be able to rush to the top ten, because it was simply impossible, you must know that among the hundred experienced disciples of these two major sects, there are forty people who have cultivated in the late stage of foundation building, there are also forty people who have cultivated in the middle stage of foundation building, and there are only twenty people like him who have only cultivated in the early stage of foundation building!

There is no doubt that the final competition will arise among the forty disciples who have the experience of cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, and there may be a few disciples in the middle stage of foundation building who can get a piece of the pie, but these really have nothing to do with him! Even if he wants to fight, he doesn't have that qualification, to put it simply, such as Zhou Yu, Ning Yao, a master like Ning Yao, is it possible for him to compare?

So it's very good that he can get out of this Netherworld in a month!

Because it is in the white sky, there is still a slight light in this netherworld forest, and it can barely be seen more than a hundred zhang away, but this is also thanks to the fact that all the trees in it have already died, otherwise it is really a bit of a problem to find the right direction!

The ground was extremely muddy, and there was a slippery feeling when you stepped on it, wisps of black mist floated out of the mud like ghosts, and occasionally a miserable white bone stick shook trembling in the mud, and then attracted all the black mist around it, and in just a few hours, a fourth-level ghoul would appear!

As Mu Feixue said, as long as the Netherworld Miasma here does not disappear, then these fourth-level ghouls will never die!

Of course, Feng Ruo had no interest in competing with that kind of fourth-level ghoul who couldn't be killed, so he just rushed forward at a balanced speed!

Now that he is in the early stage of foundation building, his entire body is already more than ten times stronger than that of mortals, so even if he runs on foot, he can walk five hundred miles away in one time, and he will not consume half of his mana!

If he could maintain this speed every day, then it wouldn't take him a month to get out of this Netherworld!

Of course, things are far from that simple, his current location is only on the edge of the Nether Forest, and there will only be a small number of fourth-level ghouls, but as he goes deeper, he will encounter more and more ghouls, and the level will become higher and higher, which are all fatal factors!

After flying forward for nearly a hundred miles, Feng Ruo didn't see the shadow of those experienced disciples in front of him, there was no doubt that those of them were flying with the imperial sword!

However, now the Netherworld Miasma on the ground has become thicker and thicker, and more than a dozen fourth-level ghouls can already be seen walking around within the field of vision!

"Flying mounts can't be used, but what about land mounts?"

Feng Ruo unsealed the Silver Armor Spider casually, he now needs to conserve mana to deal with emergencies, so he can't fly with the sword, but this speed is too slow, he must bite the traces left by those people in front of him, otherwise what if he gets lost?

However, the speed of the Silver Armor Sky Spider is comparable to that of a second-level vulture, which is just right for advancing in such an environment!

"Gone, Silver Armor!"

Jumping on the Silver Armor Sky Spider, Feng Ruo patted its head casually, this guy hasn't had a chance to come out to breathe for most of the past half a year, I'm afraid he's depressed to death!

"Hiss!" With two sounds, the silver-armored spider rushed forward, its eight thighs covered with sharp blades were completely unaffected by the muddy ground, even if there was a fourth-level ghoul in front of it, its eight thighs could cut the ghoul into several pieces with just a casual stroke, and it would not affect the speed of progress at all!

However, the further you go, the more and more fourth-level ghouls you encounter, from a few at the beginning, gradually increasing to dozens, and sometimes, even a fifth-level ghoul that can fly will jump out!

Fortunately, Feng Ruo and the Silver Armor Spider have good strength, and they cooperate with each other very smoothly, if they encounter dozens of fourth-level ghouls, Feng Ruo will use the sword technique to carry out long-range attacks, and the Silver Armor Spider is responsible for rushing to the nearby fourth-level ghouls, under its eight sharp thighs, those fourth-level ghouls are simply a scum!

In this way, after a few hours, Feng Ruo had already advanced hundreds of miles!

"Huh, Silver Armor! Wait!"

Just as the Silver Armor Heavenly Spider was about to pass through a somewhat raised hill bag, Feng Ruo suddenly stopped it, because here, the traces he had been tracking were actually divided into more than ten strands, but it just bypassed the small hill bag in front of him!

"Silver Armor, get around!"

Although Feng Ruo didn't know what was special behind this small mountain bag, his current goal was just to pass through the Netherworld Forest safely, and other things should be put on hold!

Following the traces left by the previous training disciples, Feng Ruo continued to move forward, but what puzzled him was that he didn't find a single ghoul during this journey, but there were a lot of dry bones on the ground that had been cut into several pieces, and now these dry bones were slowly wriggling to absorb the surrounding Netherworld Miasma!

"Oh no! Someone must have encountered a higher-level ghoul up there!"

Feng Ruo frowned and said to himself, because fourth-level ghouls don't have any consciousness, they can only act on instinct, as long as they don't get too close to them, there will basically be no problem, but now there is not a single fourth-level ghoul in this large area, so there must be high-level ghouls who have summoned them all!
