Chapter 21: Despair

In a valley deep in the Frost Forest, a figure rose from a bush of weeds after a sound of screaming.

The man was ragged and unkempt, and there were only strips of cloth left on his body that could not distinguish the color, and he could not cover the important parts of his body at all. But fortunately, this place is already in the depths of the Frost Forest, uninhabited, only the existence of some wild beasts, and the person will not be embarrassed anymore.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" The man suddenly coughed violently, and a mouthful of blood spit out, and the skin on his body was ulcerated in countless places, and the blood kept bubbling out, making the man's face extremely pale.

However, there was not the slightest painful look on the man's face at this time, but full of excitement!

"I'm not dead, I'm still alive......," the man whispered, trembling with excitement, waving his clenched right fist.

This person is none other than Wang Yue, who erupted from the volcano!

And at this time, what Wang Yue was holding in his right fist was the soul core of the Holy Beast Earth Fire Flame Lizard Beast!

At this time, he had returned to the ground safely, and Wang Yue's originally nervous mood slowly relaxed, followed by a period of fear and deep tiredness.

In the magma pool just now, if the luck is a little worse, if the qi wave in the magma pool is not strong enough, Wang Yue, who weighs more than 100 catties, is likely not to be thrown up by the qi wave, so that even if Wang Yue gets the soul core of the Earth Fire Flame Lizard Beast, he will definitely fall into the magma pool, turn into flying ashes, his soul will be scattered, and he will not be able to die again.

"That's right! With this holy beast's soul core, coupled with my current super comprehension of martial arts, it is only a matter of time before I want to become strong quickly...... It's just that how can this soul core be absorbed?" Wang Yue opened his right fist and looked carefully at the soul core in his hand.

At this time, the soul core of the Earth Fire Flame Lizard Beast was trembling slightly in Wang Yue's palm, exuding a wave of the coercion of the Holy Beast from time to time, but after leaving the magma pool and leaving the corpse of the Earth Fire Flame Lizard Beast, the pressure in the soul core was already much weaker, and Wang Yue was completely able to reach it.

However, if you want to absorb the soul core of the holy beast, where is it so easy? With Wang Yue's current strength of only the sixth level of the quenching stage, there is no way to start.

Perhaps, we can only wait until our strength reaches the transcendent realm before trying.

"......Forehead" At this moment, the soul core of the Holy Beast Earth Fire Lizard Beast in Wang Yue's palm suddenly burst out with a brilliant light, releasing a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees, which was deeply embedded in Wang Yue's palm at once, and turned into a streamer, followed the bloodline, and instantly came to Wang Yue's heart and stopped.

Subsequently, the soul core of the Holy Beast Earth Fire Lizard Beast was like a hungry leech, frantically absorbing the blood in Wang Yue's heart, as if it wanted to absorb all the blood in Wang Yue's body.

"How can this be? I won't die like this, will I?" Feeling the scorching temperature from the position of his heart and the continuous loss of blood in his body, Wang Yue's eyes slowly darkened, and he slowly lost consciousness.

......

In a valley on the outskirts of the Frost Forest, a team of dozens of warriors was cautiously and carefully searching for something.

"Uncle Meng, we've been looking for a month, and we haven't found any trace of Young Master Wang Yue, let's give up......" A warrior with crossed sword badges embroidered on his clothes whispered to a warrior with red eyes and a haggard face on the side.

"Shut up! Young Master Wang Yue is the only son of our former family master, and it is also the hope of whether our Wang family can become stronger, no matter what, we must find the whereabouts of Young Master Wang Yue, we must see people in life, and we must see corpses in death!" The tall and mighty warrior who exuded a terrifying aura on his body shouted angrily.

"But, but, further on, it is the depths of the Frost Forest, there will be many powerful spirit beasts, once we encounter powerful spirit beasts, then we will ......all die," the martial artist just now said with some worry.

"This ......" The tall warrior was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at the warriors who were searching around him.

The tall and mighty warrior was none other than Wang Meng, the captain of the Wang family's hunting team, and those warriors who were searching for something were the warriors of the Wang family's hunting team. What they are searching for is Wang Yue, who has been missing for more than a month.

After more than a month of round-the-clock searching, the dry food of the warriors of the hunting team was already running out, and the warriors of each hunting team were extremely tired, and they didn't know how long they could last.

Moreover, as the captain of the Wang family's hunting team, Wang Meng's duty is to lead the warriors of the hunting team to enter the frost forest to hunt fierce beasts and spirit beasts, pick heavenly treasures, and increase income for the family.

However, within a month of Wang Yue's disappearance, Wang Meng, the captain of the hunting team, completely gave up the task of hunting, and even divided thirty or forty warriors from the hunting team of only more than 100 warriors to search for Wang Yue's whereabouts.

In a few days, it is the time for the hunting team to return to the family to hand over the hunting proceeds such as heaven and earth treasures and spirit beast spirit cores, and when the time comes, it will not be possible to take out the hunting proceeds similar to the previous hunting team entering the frost forest, waiting for Wang Meng, in addition to removing him from the position of captain of the hunting team, I am afraid that there will be severe punishment from the family rules.

Although Wang Meng is a martial artist in the ninefold quenching period, his position in the family is quite important, but when it comes to the hunting team's hunting income, even if Wang Meng's status is important, he will definitely not be able to escape punishment. At worst, they will be punished with a cane, or they will be punished by mining in the dark mines under the family.

What's more, I have been searching for a month, and there is still no news of Young Master Wang Yue, and in Wang Meng's mind, I don't consciously believe that Young Master Wang Yue, I am afraid that it is really fierce and auspicious, I am afraid that it has been devoured by high-level spirit beasts.

"Let's ......," Wang Meng said hoarsely, and was about to give the order to retreat into the treehouse.

"Uncle Meng! The young master will definitely be fine, I believe that the young master must still be alive, maybe in the valley in front!Uncle Meng, let's hurry up and go to the valley in front of us to find the young master......" At this moment, a dark and thin figure suddenly staggered and pounced in front of Wang Meng, looking at Wang Meng with a resolute face.

"Ziling, don't mess around, we know that you have a good relationship with Young Master Wang Yue, and we also know that you are worried about the young master's comfort, but you have been looking for a month, and in a few days it will be the day when the hunting team will return to the family, if Uncle Meng doesn't hurry up and take the hunting team to pick spirit grass and hunt spirit beasts, I am afraid that he will be punished when he returns to the family......" At this time, an elderly martial artist on the side interrupted the words of the black and thin figure and said seriously.

The black and thin figure was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Meng, and then looked at the more than thirty dusty warriors of the hunting team, extremely tired, and couldn't say anything for a while.

The black and thin figure is none other than the maid Ziling, who grew up with Wang Yue since childhood.

Since the news of Wang Yue's sudden disappearance came back to the Wang family, Ziling seemed to be crazy, and rushed towards the Frost Forest on foot regardless of it, if he didn't happen to meet the warriors of the hunting team, he was afraid that he would be eaten by the fierce beasts of the Frost Forest before he reached the tree house of the Wang family's hunting team's base camp.

Since then, Ziling has been following the warriors of the hunting team all over the place to search for Wang Yue's whereabouts, which was originally dark and thin, after a month of searching, Ziling has become even thinner, I am afraid that a gust of wind can blow Ziling down and blow away.

"I ...... I believe that the young master will be fine, I will go find him myself!" Ziling silently dropped a sentence, turned around and walked towards the valley in the distance.

Wang Meng took a deep look at Ziling's thin back, then sighed, didn't say anything, followed behind Ziling, and walked into the distance.

The rest of the warriors looked at each other, looked at each other, and then silently followed behind Wang Meng and Ziling, searching carefully.

In a month's time, Wang Meng led the warriors of the hunting team from the periphery of the Frost Forest to the depths of the Frost Forest for a distance of hundreds of miles, and had already entered the most dangerous area in the center of the Frost Forest, where fierce beasts and spirit beasts were everywhere.

Over a hill, a group of dozens of people walked through a narrow path that could only be passed by one person, and came to a calm lake.

"Take a rest first, replenish your body, and look ......for it carefully later," Wang Meng commanded.

Several warriors who were in charge of managing the dry food heard the sound and took out the dry food they were carrying on their backs, took out the pot, and prepared to make a fire to cook. One of the warriors walked to the lake, took out the water bladder and began to fill it.

At this moment, a mutation protruded!

The originally calm surface of the lake suddenly burst out of a black shadow, swallowing the warrior who was holding a water bladder to fill it at once.

The terrible screams suddenly echoed over the entire valley!

"What's going on?"

"What's that?"

"Enemy attack! Hurry up and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Wang Meng and the other warriors of the hunting team hurriedly pulled out their weapons and surrounded the lake.

However, when Wang Meng and the others saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, their faces suddenly changed, and they couldn't say a word in horror.

A few timid warriors were so frightened that they trembled all over, where was there still the slightest sense of war?

What appeared in front of everyone was the Xuanyin Ice Python that chased and killed Wang Yue a month ago, nearly a hundred miles away, and almost killed Wang Yue!

The Xuanying Ice Anaconda, which is not weaker than the strength of the third-order spirit beast, even the mid-stage martial artists of the Transcendent Realm are afraid to avoid it, and all the martial artists present, including Wang Meng, do not even have the slightest ability to resist in the face of the Xuanying Ice Anacond, plus the Xuanying Ice Anaconda is extremely fast, even if they want to escape, they may not be able to escape.

"It's over! It's really dead this time!"

"It's over, it's over......"

This thought popped into the minds of almost all warriors.

"Quick! first cover Ziling's retreat. Wang Meng pulled out his long sword, blocked it in front of the Xuanying Ice Python, and shouted loudly.

"Uncle Meng, you go first, we'll cover you......" Several hunter team warriors suddenly ran in front of Wang Meng and swung their knives towards the Xuanying Ice Python.

"Sizzle......" The Xuan Ying Ice Python spewed out a cold breath from its mouth.

Before the two warriors wielding broadswords could run to the Xuanying Ice Python, they were frozen by the cold and turned into two ice sculptures, and they couldn't die anymore.

"Big Bull, Er Niu!" Wang Meng shouted, his eyes cracking.

"I'll fight with you!"

"Fight!"

The warriors of the hunting team watched the two brothers Da Niu and Erniu being killed in an instant, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, and the panic just now was suddenly swept away, and they all waved their knives and pounced.

"Papapa...... The Xuanying Ice Python shook its body, and its thick snake tail slammed towards the warrior of the hunting team.

Bursts of screams rang out, severed limbs and stumps flew everywhere, and the scene was unbearable......

"Young Master, Ziling can no longer serve you, Young Master, you will definitely live well......" Ziling, who was already frightened and weak-legged on the side, whispered, she had not cried since she learned that Wang Yue was missing, but at this time her eyes were full of tears, and big tears were left down her cheeks, and her heart was dead.
