Ling Yun looked at the Gray Forest map he had purchased from a vendor in Silverleaf Town as he quickly shuttled through the jungle.

With two full years of living in the jungle before, the dense woods did not pose any obstacle to his speed. However, the Gray Forest was the Gray Forest after all, and it was not at all comparable to the jungle that Ling Yun had experienced before.

Less than forty or fifty miles into the forest, a tiger-shaped demonic beast covered in scales brazenly launched a ferocious attack on him, a human who dared to invade his territory.

The strength of this tiger-shaped demonic beast was probably at the peak of the first order, and even those formal swordsmen who had just mastered ordinary sword skills were not sure to defeat them in one fell swoop. However, Ling Yun was not as simple as waiting for an idle first-order sword master after all, under the sharp attack of the Xuan Sword Qi on the Ninety-Nine Heavens, its sturdy scale armor with a blade that was difficult to injure suddenly opened its flesh and flesh, and its flesh and blood flew all over it.

The intense pain instantly made this demonic beast perceive the strength of the person in front of him, and he immediately didn't care about how long he had lived in this territory, and hurriedly threw himself into the forest and disappeared into the vast forest sea.

Ling Yun did not pursue. The first-order peak demonic beast was obviously much worse than him. He came to this forest to test and complete the mission by the way, instead of abusing those first-order demonic beasts to have fun.

This radius of dozens of miles was obviously the territory of this tiger-shaped demonic beast. After defeating the demonic beast, Ling Yun advanced for more than thirty miles in a row, and finally encountered the second demonic beast again. It's just that because this is only the edge of the Gray Forest, even if you encounter a demonic beast, it is only a first-order. If you want to encounter a second-order demonic beast, you have to go deep into the forest for 300 miles.

"Gentian grass is only in the ordinary area of the Gray Forest, some distance from the central area. Presumably, you won't be able to encounter a close match. In this way, wouldn't it be difficult to achieve the purpose of training?" Thinking of this, Ling Yun gave up his plan to go to get gentian grass first, and took the lead in going to the central area.

The dean of the Brilliant Academy can't break through the Innate Mahayana realm, so let's find those demonic beasts that have reached the third-order strength.

Although he would inevitably be seriously injured after defeating a third-order demonic beast with his strength, and he might even be hunted down by other demonic beasts because of this, how could he successfully break through this barrier that was not considered a barrier without being oppressed in such a harsh environment?

With this mentality, Ling Yun bypassed the place where the gentian grass was located and went to the central area first.

What he didn't know was that it was precisely because he didn't go to get gentian grass first that he was lucky enough to resolve an invisible crisis.

Because on the second day after entering the forest, Roman Swordsman and the others had already arrived near the gentian grass guarded by the two-headed demon snake. After an hour-long period of repairing and recovering, as a third-order swordsman, he and Luo He brazenly launched an attack on the two-headed demon snake.

However, the strength of the combat power that erupted from the fourth-order peak demonic beasts far exceeded the estimation of the Roman Sword Master and the Luohe Sword Master. In just a few shots, the Roman swordsman was the first to be wounded. What was especially terrifying was that the toxins in the demon snake's body quickly invaded the Roman Sword Master's body along the wound, if it weren't for the fact that they had made sufficient preparations in advance and brought a large number of antidote pills, Roman this third-order sword master would probably have to explain here.

With the Roman swordsman injured, Luo He, the chief swordsman of the Purple Cloud Empire, couldn't hold on for long, and his entire arm was bitten into flesh by the sharp teeth of the demon snake without paying attention, and almost half of his combat power was consumed.

The combat power of the two-headed demon snake shocked the two of them one after another, and Luo He, the chief swordsman, was charged, causing them to give up this task full of temptation.

The two third-order sword masters joined forces, and they were both forced to this point by the two-headed demon snake, if Ling Yun came to seize the gentian grass in advance and faced the two-headed demon snake, what kind of scene would it be?

......

Ling Yun was still ignorant of the changes in the Gentian Mission, and he was walking inside the Gray Forest, trying to find the place where the large demonic beasts lived.

However, after walking for three days, he frowned: "This Gray Forest is rumored to have even third- and fourth-order super demonic beasts, and now that I am close to the central region, how come I have never seen even second-order demonic beasts except for the seven first-order demonic beasts? let alone those third-order demonic beasts." ”

Puzzled, Ling Yun compared the direction and moved forward again.

As he turned through a dense forest, a rustling sound was suddenly heard by the wind. Ling Yun's heart tightened, he leaned lightly, and with the help of the tree trunk next to him, he directly stepped on a dense tree opposite, hiding in the dense leaves.

After surviving in the jungle for so many days, Ling Yun naturally understood what the rustling sound meant—a creature approaching.

"I don't know what kind of monster it is this time. If it's still a first-order, it's too boring. Just as Ling Yun was thinking, the grass in front of him suddenly parted, and a white figure suddenly flew out of the grass, borrowing a little force on the ground, and its elegant figure was like a light leaf dancing in the wind, passing through the jungle, and in the blink of an eye, it had floated past the big tree he was hiding, and disappeared from sight.

After Ling Yun watched the strange figure disappear, he secretly said in his heart: "What a light and elegant body, this speed, I'm afraid it can catch up with me to perform Ling Yun Steps." ”

Suddenly, Ling Yun remembered that the figure that floated away was faintly familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. If you think about it carefully, isn't it the woman in white who met on that rainy night a month ago?

"Why is she here? Could it be that she is still chasing that demonic beast?" Thinking of this, he looked up in the direction where the woman had disappeared, and was about to get down the tree.

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps from the direction where the woman had just come, and this time it was not just one person, but three people who caught up. Without exception, these three people are all masters of the sword master stage, and one of them has reached the level of a second-order sword master.

One of the three had a sensitive nose, and he sniffed at the smell that remained in the air, and a fine light immediately burst out of his eyes, and a burst of white light flashed like lightning in his hand, and a strong wind howled towards the tree where Ling Yun was hiding.

Ling Yun's heart froze, and he kicked on the trunk of the tree, jumping out of thin air and breaking through the canopy, avoiding the attack of the Dou Qi Slash.

However, before he could land, several successive Dou Qi came one after another, directly blocking all his dodge space, forcing him to immediately use his sword to disperse all the Dou Qi that had been slashed.

Ling Yun took advantage of this fighting aura to float backwards in the void. At this time, the other party also saw Ling Yun's appearance clearly, and shouted lightly: "It's not him!"

"Sneaky, there's definitely something wrong. Another swordsman was about to strike again, but was stopped by the second-order swordsman who stretched out his hand: "This person's strength is not below me." It's important to chase people, don't make extraneous branches. In which direction did she go?"

"It's the central area! It seems that he wants to escape from the gray forest with the cover of high-level demonic beasts. ”

"Hmph, nearly thirty swordsmen and nearly a thousand high-level swordsmen from our four countries have laid a net in this area, and it is difficult for her to fly out even if she has wings. After saying that, he took the lead in chasing out.

Ling Yun watched the three of them leave, and he didn't stop them.

His current strength was only comparable to that second-order sword master, and if he went to chase after him, he might not be able to gain any benefits from one enemy and three enemies.

As he walked, he could still hear the conversation between the three of them: "Although that woman is only a first-order sword master cultivator, her body speed is really difficult. Even if we catch up, we may not be able to catch her. ”

"If you can't catch it, you have to catch it. Our four empires paid such a heavy price to slay that two-headed snake demon, how could we cheapen gentian grass to others? Therefore, no matter what, that woman must die. ”

"Hey, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. It's all our carelessness. Unexpectedly, in front of more than 20 swordsmen, the gentian grass was stolen by a little girl of the first order. If this matter gets out, how can our four empires have any face!"

"It's no wonder that we Shikoku are in this matter, after all, at that time, several third-order sword masters were all injured by the toxin of the two-headed demon snake when it burst into violence, and they had no time to be distracted to intercept her. Otherwise, no matter how fast her speed was, it would not be possible to be faster than the pursuit of the third-order sword master. ”

"Things have come to this point, let's chase after it......"

Listening to the sound of the conversation between the three of them gradually faded away, Ling Yun couldn't help but be a little strange: "Gentian grass? It's just a gentian grass, and it actually made all the swordsmen of the four empires dispatched? What's going on? And according to the conversation between the three of them just now, it seems that the woman stole the gentian grass while the swordsmen of the four empires and a demonic beast were both defeated......

Although he was a little puzzled by what had just happened, Ling Yun was not a person who was too curious.

He just wanted to use the exercises rewarded by the Gentian Grass task to confirm it with his Ninety-Nine Upper Xuan Sword Qi, and if the task really failed in the end, he didn't care. It's a big deal to earn meritorious deeds and exchange for a fourth-order exercise. The most important thing at the moment is to break through to the innate Mahayana realm as soon as possible, and after reaching that realm, he can be regarded as returning to the starting point of his previous life and begin to be able to use the benefits brought by Reiki.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun put this question on the back of his mind and sped up his speed to rush to the central area.
