The sound of the murmuring of the stream was heard all around, and the sound of the breeze bringing up the branches and leaves, fluttering and flying.

In addition, Qiao Yuan didn't even hear a birdsong and beast roar, which made the bad speculation in his heart intensify, but he didn't show a panicked look, even if he met a fierce beast, he couldn't beat it and ran away, and if he couldn't run, there was a rune treasure left to him by Xiao Fengqing to save his life, but he still decided to try not to use it if he could.

Qiao Yuan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, squatted down to carefully inspect the ditch, and peeled off the layers of fallen leaves in the ditch, he found a palm-sized green snakeskin at the bottom, Qiao Yuan suddenly took a deep breath, and his heart relaxed slightly.

What is the most terrifying thing in this world, it is not a huge and fierce beast, nor a monk who has cultivated to a high level and kills people, nor is it an evil and cruel demon or monster, but the unknown.

People are generally curious about the unknown and afraid of the unknown.

He had guessed that the ditch might be the result of a beast's actions, but now that he knew that the beast was nothing more than a serpent, there was no fear in his heart.

Qiao Yuan grew up in the dense forest since he was a child, and what he saw the most, the one he was not afraid of was the snake, no matter how big the snake was, even if it was a demon beast, he had no fear.

After all, he has been fighting snakes all year round, thinking in his heart that even if he meets the ancestor of the snake, isn't it still a snake.

Moreover, the fallen leaves in this ditch are thicker, Qiao Yuan guessed that it was a long time ago that this snake passed by here, and he was more relieved in his heart, but he still maintained the most basic vigilance.

He walked along the ditch for some distance, and was able to roughly deduce which direction the snake had gone, and then turned and walked in the opposite direction, until he had walked for more than sixty miles. It was almost dark, so I found a hiding place to hide.

Qiao Yuan took out the food in the storage bag and ate some of it, and didn't plan to make a fire here to cook, after all, there will be some demon beasts here, and if some demon beasts are brought in, it will also be a big trouble.

After night fell completely, the Henglin Mountains seemed to boil, and the sound of all kinds of beasts and birds was more than during the day.

Qiao Yuan could still see some light flashing on the mountain from time to time at the foot of the mountain, and he could imagine how many demon beasts there were inside. Although he hadn't yet felt the spiritual power fluctuations of some powerful demon beasts, most of the low-level demon beasts lived in groups, and if he provoked this kind of demon beast, it would be like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the future would definitely be difficult.

He didn't go out to inspect because of his curiosity, he just stabilized his mind, held the spirit stone and the fragment of mixed yuan jade with both hands and meditated and spit it out.

As soon as the sky was dawning, Qiao Yuan opened his eyes, took a deep breath, carefully felt the spiritual power in his body, smiled on his face, and slowly muttered to himself.

"If you follow this progress, you can break through to the fourth layer of Qi refining in another two months, although it is a bit slow, but it is better to have a solid foundation. ”

Qiao Yuan opened his palm and looked at the two stones, the fragments of the mixed yuan jade were still as usual, but the spirit stones were no longer crystal clear, and a gray light appeared in one of the corners, and there was no spiritual energy emitting from that corner.

However, he did not show a worried look, but was very happy, he had used this spirit stone for more than a month, and now only one corner was abandoned, according to his estimation, this spirit stone was enough for his cultivation for half a year.

And there are many such spirit stones in his storage bag, so it seems that he doesn't have to worry about the problem of weak spiritual power and slow cultivation for a long time.

Qiao Yuan put away the spirit stone and the fragment of mixed yuan jade, grabbed a vine from a tree more than ten zhang high and swung it down, stepped on the ground with both feet and walked directly towards the Henglin Mountain Range.

He had already kept the route in mind, as long as he was cautious and not too curious, Qiao Yuan had the confidence to walk out of this Henglin Mountain Range.

Qiao Yuan walked in the mountains and forests, and occasionally saw some demon beasts like hares, these demon beasts only had some faint spiritual power fluctuations on their bodies, at most they were equivalent to monks at the first level of qi refining, these demon beasts were generally more timid and docile, and before he approached, he fled quickly.

He also ran Ruofeng Xing to catch one, studied it and released it, it is really worthless, this kind of demon beast is no different from ordinary small beasts, but there are some spiritual power fluctuations on the body, the spiritual sense is more sensitive, and it will not use spiritual power.

Qiao Yuan still practiced magic while hurrying during the day, and hid and practiced at night. It may be that some powerful fierce beasts are hidden during the day, so he has not seen a single demon beast with a high cultivation level since he entered the Henglin Mountain Range for half a month.

However, he often heard the roars of some demon beasts at night, and these roaring sounds could make him feel a chill in his ears, and several times, Qiao Yuan wanted to take advantage of the night to see what this roaring demon beast was, but he forcibly suppressed this thought.

Although he didn't feel too powerful spiritual power fluctuations, once he was discovered by this demon beast, a fierce battle would definitely be inevitable, and this kind of battle was just to satisfy his curiosity, without any other benefits, it was really worth the loss.

Time flickered, and Qiao Yuan walked forward in the Henglin Mountains for half a month.

As soon as dawn was the day, Qiao Yuan heard a terrible wolf howl, Qiao Yuan didn't plan to pay attention to it when he heard it, after all, he had heard too much of this beast roar, and he could almost turn a deaf ear.

But as soon as he jumped down from the tree, he heard the terrible wolf howl again, Qiao Yuan's eyes suddenly stared, turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from, and he looked extremely focused on motionless, until there was another wolf howl in the distance, his face suddenly showed joy, and the corners of his mouth raised and said to himself.

"It's a wolf cub...... Hey...... Hopefully it won't disappoint me. ”

After Qiao Yuan finished speaking, he strode away and galloped directly towards the place where the voice came from, but he stopped when he was about to get closer.

He stood on top of a tree branch, and at a glance, he saw a black bear more than one zhang high a hundred zhang away was violently hitting a boulder leaning on the side of the giant tree, this boulder was three or four zhang wide and long, and more than two zhang high, but the black bear was staggering, and from time to time some gravel rolled down.

Qiao Yuan moved his eyes to the stone, and saw two wolves lying on it, one wolf was half a foot long, and the other was only a foot long, it was the young wolf that let out a terrible wolf howl.

When he saw this young wolf, his face showed excitement, he recognized that this was the Swift Moon Wolf recorded in the "Ten Thousand Books of Spirit Beasts", and the fur was pure white and flawless, at first glance, it was a pure blooded Swift Moon Wolf, if it was accepted as a spirit beast, it would be of great use in the future.

Qiao Yuan was quite excited, but he didn't go out recklessly to face the black bear, he could feel some spiritual power fluctuations on the black bear, although it was not strong, but the black bear's one-foot tall beast body was enough to make it difficult for Qiao Yuan to start.

"The she-wolf seems to be out of breath, but the black bear is in trouble. That's it, when I condense the wind blade, I should be able to kill with one hit. ”

Qiao Yuan carefully observed the situation and found that the half-foot-long she-wolf beside the young wolf was lying motionless on the ground, her eyes were closed, and her white hair was stained with some purple-red blood, and the black bear's paws also had some bloodstains.

He could roughly deduce something, but some things he wouldn't know until he looked at them closely.

After all, if the black bear killed the she-wolf, why did he hit the boulder relentlessly, was it really just to kill it all, he couldn't figure it out.

After a stick of incense, Qiao Yuan condensed a wind blade, but he was not in a hurry, but continued to condense the second one, anyway, the black bear couldn't hit the boulder for a while, and he didn't expose it, so it was naturally safer to condense two wind blades.

Another incense stick time passed, Qiao Yuan held a wind blade in each hand, although this wind blade was fast and secretive, but it still had a certain range, at most about ten zhang.

Qiao Yuan cautiously shuttled between the tree trunks, and after a while, he was only twenty zhang away from the black bear, and then he planned to no longer hide his body, but directly use the Wind Movement Technique to instantly approach the black bear's side, and throw the wind blade directly to the black bear's vital point.

After Qiao Yuan thought about it, he began to condense the wind cyclone. A moment later, four wind cyclones formed behind Qiao Yuan, and at this time, the black bear had just hit the stone and was counterattacked.

He seized this opportunity, and stepped hard with both feet, as if a wind was approaching within five feet of the black bear in an instant, and with a wave of his hands, two wind blades galloped out, bringing out bursts of whistling sounds.

The black bear was startled by this sudden scene, and before it could roar and roar, it raised its huge claws to block it.

Qiao Yuan didn't look at the result at all after throwing the wind blade, and ran away a hundred feet away in an instant, standing on a big tree to watch the situation of the black bear.

The black bear remained motionless and kept its paws in front of him, and after a few breaths, blood flowed from his paws. Qiao Yuan frowned when he saw this scene, although he was bleeding, it didn't look like he was injured at all, and even the bear paw was not cut off.

Qiao Yuan secretly said in his heart that this demon beast was indeed much stronger than the beast's physique, and it was the first time he had met a beast that could block the wind blade with his body.

However, after a few breaths, the black bear still remained motionless, and did not let out the roar that should have been after being attacked by a sneak attack, which made Qiao Yuan happy, but he still remained vigilant, walked twenty zhang away, picked up a big stone and threw it directly at the black bear.

The boulder smashed directly into the black bear, and then the black bear fell to the ground with a bang, lying on the ground and no longer moving.

Qiao Yuan walked over only to find that the black bear had a small hole the thickness of an index finger on its head, and some black and red blood slowly flowed out of it, which was the wound pierced by the blow of the wind blade, although the black bear used the bear's paw to block the wind blade that attacked its heart, but it did not block the wind blade that hit its head.

Qiao Yuan walked to the black bear's side, fiddled with its bear paw, and carefully examined the wound left by the wind blade, but it only hurt the flesh and skin, but not the bones in the bear's paw, which made Qiao Yuan's mind come alive again, and his face showed a thoughtful look.
