Time flies, more than a year in the blink of an eye.

Sou!

In the dense jungle, a dark shadow flashed, and then suddenly stopped at the top of a large tree. The black shadow is none other than Wang Ming.

Shabby clothes, messy hair, and stubble like steel needles, compared to a year ago, Wang Ming is much more sloppy, obviously in his early twenties, but he looks like a greasy middle-aged uncle.

But after all, it is a border wilderness, the conditions are limited, and after staying for more than a year, this is already considered good.

"Forty thousand!"

Just now, the balance of exploration value was just 40,000 yuan.

Before entering the border, the system had just been updated, and the exploration value was only 20,000 heads. Once in the wilderness, exploration value begins to slowly and continuously increase.

Later, when he found the Flying Feather Sect and learned the Wings of Garuda, Wang Ming's speed increased several times, and the speed of the increase in exploration value also increased accordingly.

After a year, a total of more than 10,000 exploration points have been accumulated, plus the reward for discovering the ruins of the sect, which has only accumulated 40,000 exploration points.

"Almost. ”

Standing on the treetops dozens of meters high, clicking on the small map to check the area passed through this year, Wang Ming couldn't help but nod secretly.

The so-called border is the middle area between the old and new borders of the Chunghuiguo, and the area is almost twice the size of the current Chunghuiguo. The border area is too wide, and Wang Ming has only explored a small part of it this year.

Instead of exploring along the border, he continued to push outward, and according to the minimap, he was now on the outer edge of the border, close to the border of Chunghuiguo twenty years ago.

In addition, in the area explored this year, a total of more than thirty sect ruins were found!

Close to the sects inside, some were destroyed by demon beasts, and some just migrated to the central area. Because there is a certain buffer time, I took away the martial arts classics and resources in advance, and there are no good things left.

Until the last three or four months, gradually approaching the boundaries of the old domain, these sects were destroyed at the beginning of the beast tide, and there was no time to evacuate, leaving behind a large number of classics.

Even if there are some sects, the arsenal is hard or the structure is special, Wang Ming can't open it. After exploring so many sects, it can be said that the harvest is huge!

While exploring, while cultivating, then fusing skills. At this time, looking at Wang Ming's personal page, great changes have occurred again.

【Wang Ming】

Support Skills: Identification Level 5, Stealth Level 5, Gathering Level 5, Alchemy Level 5, Exploration Level 5, Analytical Level 5

Combat Skills: Fudo Ming King Seal (Level 5), Garuda Wings (Level 6), Thirteen Styles of Variety (Level 5), Mountain Breaking Fist (Level 5), Fire Control (Level 5), God and Demon Incarnation (Level 7)

Among them, the Mountain Breaking Fist, Fire Control Technique, and the incarnation of gods and demons remain unchanged, and the Garuda Wings are directly learned from martial arts. The defensive martial arts Immovable Ming King Seal, as well as the sword technique Hundred Variations and Thirteen Styles, are all fused from low-level martial arts.

Now in the list of combat skills, the lowest level is already level 5, which is equivalent to the low-grade and middle-grade martial arts of the earth realm. With these martial arts by his side, Wang Ming's combat power has more than doubled.

"Five floors. ”

Not only that, but in this year, Wang Ming did not abandon his cultivation. Although the available time is limited, it is now the 5th layer of the Martial Spirit Realm, and it is not far from the 6th floor.

As for the cultivation of the physical body realm, although he had swallowed a large amount of demon beast essence blood in this year, he still failed to break through the ten refinements.

I have to say that the final refinement of the physical body realm is indeed extremely difficult. However, Wang Ming had a hunch that he was not far from a breakthrough.

"This way. ”

After checking the minimap, re-orienting, Wang Ming set off again. With the improvement of the cultivation of the Martial Soul Realm, the amount of True Qi increased, and the wings under the ribs were already two feet long, and the speed had increased a lot again.

According to the minimap, Wang Ming is about to reach the old border of Zhonghuiguo. There are still a large number of sects that have not been found, and he is reluctant to leave like this.

The farther the sect is, the sooner it will be hit by the beast tide twenty years ago, and there will be no time to transfer martial arts and other cultivation resources. So these ruins are often worth more!

Wang Ming followed the minimap and explored along the periphery, his main target was these sects that were destroyed in an instant.

"Divine Realm Demon Beast ......"

At the same time, as he gradually approached the periphery, Wang Ming clearly felt that the number of demon beasts was becoming denser and denser, and the level was getting higher and higher!

The Divine Avatar Realm Demon Beast, which was originally difficult to see, can now encounter one every few days.

Fortunately, most of them are only equivalent to the strength of the first or second level of the Divine Power Realm, and they can't see through Wang Ming's level 5 stealth.

But what made Wang Ming more and more puzzled was that there were so many demon beasts, and there was no shortage of high-level demon beasts, and in this full year, he hadn't even encountered a single demon beast territory or lair!

These monsters are always moving, as if they are patrolling. But what is there to patrol in this wilderness, and what is their purpose?

The most important thing is that so many demon beasts, what kind of force is driving them, so that they have the same movement?

Wang Ming felt more and more uneasy, there must be some secret hidden in it. But so far, he has found no clues, so he has no way to investigate.

Since this is the case, Wang Ming didn't think much about it, and then searched the ruins of the sect.

Roar!

"Hurry back!"

As he was walking through the jungle, he suddenly heard the roar of monsters and the shouts of the human race.

“......”

Wang Ming stood up suddenly, and listened attentively, there was more than one person, as if he was fighting with the demon beast. His brow furrowed slightly, then he reversed course and ran towards the source of the sound.

Just a few hundred meters away, Wang Ming hid in the crown of a big tree, and when he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

I saw a bear-like demon beast, huge and seven or eight meters tall, waving a huge bear paw, and roaring angrily from time to time.

Around the giant bear, there are five Terrans, fighting around it. But after seeing the appearance of these five human races clearly, Wang Ming's face changed slightly in an instant.

The size of the human race, but it is either fur and horns, or sharp teeth and claws, which is clearly the characteristics of beasts!

Wang Ming carefully identified that it was not a decoration, but a real growth on his body!

"Orcs?"

Wang Ming was stunned, these half-humans and half-beasts, could they be some kind of subhuman xenomorph?

"Identification!"

Puzzled in his heart, Wang Ming directly threw over a few identification techniques.

“......”

The system didn't react, and Wang Ming frowned again. Intelligent beings, information cannot be obtained through identification. That is, they are not beasts.

[Collared Bear: Powerful, strong, sturdy teeth, sharp claws, very threatening. The speed is slightly lacking, which is equivalent to the eight refinements of the human body. 】

It was the demon beast that identified clear information.

Bang!

Just as Wang Ming was thinking, with a muffled sound, a man covered in animal hair couldn't dodge, and was rubbed by a huge bear paw, and the whole person flew out upside down in an instant.

Then there was another muffled sound, and he hit the ground hard, motionless and unmoving, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

“...... It's!"

These five people are obviously not the opponents of the giant bear, and it is a matter of time before they lose. But what surprised Wang Ming again was that the hair on his body that was knocked out and died quickly faded, and it was clearly a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy!

"Starfire!"

Not only that, Wang Ming saw at a glance that on the young man's neck, there was an iron piece, which was the symbol of the spark!

"Run! Run with the beans!"

Seeing that his companion was injured, a man with two horns and a slightly taller body shouted at the others as he rushed head-on towards the giant bear.

Roar!

Seeing the man rushing up, the giant bear roared to meet it, and at the same time raised the bear's paw high, and slapped it hard.

"It's over......"

At this moment, the horned man's heart was completely ashen, and he couldn't stop it at all.
