Chapter 116: The One-Horned Demon Pig
Early the next morning, when the sky was just cloudy, Jian Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in the tent and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and cultivated all night, slowly opened his eyes, feeling the holy power in his body that did not increase in the slightest, Jian Chen sighed, although the speed at which he absorbed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was far from comparable to the past, but almost all of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi he absorbed was snatched away by the purple and blue light spots in his dantian, and he could really absorb it himself, almost negligible.
Out of the tent, Jian Chen stood outside and took a few deep breaths of the fresh morning air, then slowly raised his head, looking at the dense branches and leaves overhead, it was still early, the sky was still in play, and it was not completely bright, and the east where the sun rose every day was dim.
Listening to the faint sound of breathing and the occasional snoring sound coming from the other tents, Jian Chen shook his head in disappointment, with his ear power, he could easily hear that all the people in the Flame Mercenary Group were sleeping at this moment, and no one was cultivating.
"Alas, if you are so lazy, how can you improve your strength, although on the path of cultivation, personal talent is very important, but diligence is more important than talent, even if a person with high talent is not diligent in cultivation, then his achievements are not as good as a person with mediocre talent but diligent cultivation. Jian Chen thought secretly in his heart.
Then, Jian Chen went to the woods to find some dry branches, made a fire, made a simple grill, and then put on a few pieces of demonic beast meat and roasted it.
Maybe he was awakened by the movement outside, Captain Kende's head came out of the tent, looked at Jian Chen, who was making a fire and roasting meat outside, and smiled: "Jian Chen, you got up so early." β
Hearing this, Jian Chen said without looking back: "It's almost dawn, it's not too early." β
The head of Kentucky looked at the still gray sky, laughed twice, did not speak, and then also got out of the tent and sat down in front of the fire.
Not long after the head of Kender came out, the rest of the Flame Mercenary Regiment seemed to be woken up by the sound outside, and they walked out of the tent one after another, and then immediately put the tent away and put it into the space belt, and when everything was cleaned up, everyone gathered in front of the fire and sat down, and Amber was drinking a small wine alone with a wine jug in his hand.
Seeing that all the personnel had arrived, Jian Chen looked up at Head Kende and said, "Head Kent, I don't know how you arranged the next action." β
"Next, of course, we will continue to hunt the first-order and second-order demonic beasts, and stay in the demonic beast mountain range for a few days until we have achieved a rich harvest before leaving here. Head Kender said lightly.
Hearing this, Jian Chen was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "Head Kende, I have a suggestion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." β
Captain Kende's gaze fell on Jian Chen, and he smiled: "Jian Chen, if you have any suggestions, just say it, don't worry about anything, since you have joined our Flame Mercenary Group, no matter how old or young, we are all brothers, even if we say it wrong, it's nothing." β
"My suggestion is, why don't we go deeper again and go hunting the third-order demonic beasts directly. Jian Chen's gaze was indifferent to Captain Kent.
"What, hunting third-order demonic beasts, Jian Chen, you are crazy, the black tiger at the peak of the second-order is so difficult to kill, let alone a third-order demonic beast. Xiaodao looked at Jian Chen in surprise and exclaimed. Although the Flame Mercenary Group has added a Sword Dust with the strength of an intermediate Sage, in the opinion of Xiao Dao, it is still a bit difficult to hunt a third-order demonic beast with such strength.
Hearing Jian Chen's opinion, everyone frowned deeply, although the Flame Mercenary Group now has a junior saint master, plus six great saints, but the strength of the demonic beast due to its innate advantage is definitely much stronger than that of humans of the same level, unless it has combat skills or has the holy power of attributes, otherwise, it is almost impossible for a human powerhouse to kill a demonic beast of the same level as him, even if it can be killed, the price paid is extremely heavy. And the third-order demonic beast that appeared in the Warcraft Mountain Range, if it encounters a third-order primary demonic beast, it can barely be killed with the strength of the Flame Mercenary Group with full strength, but if it encounters a demonic beast whose strength is from the peak of the third order, then the Flame Mercenary Group will be powerless.
After all, after hunting a second-order peak demonic beast before, not only did the head of Kende and Changning Feng suffer a certain amount of minor injuries, but at the last moment, if it weren't for the sword dust's obstruction, I am afraid they would not be able to leave the black tiger whose strength was still at the peak of the second order.
Therefore, Jian Chen's suggestion to hunt third-order demonic beasts was undoubtedly self-defeating in the eyes of everyone in the Flame Mercenary Group.
A strange look flashed in Kabudus' eyes as he looked at Jian Chen, and he asked, "Jian Chen, since you took the initiative to hunt third-order demonic beasts, then presumably you should also have the strength to hunt third-order demonic beasts." β
Hearing Kabudus's words, Jian Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "As long as we don't encounter three third-order demonic beasts at the same time, then we can say that there is no danger at all." β
Everyone's eyes lit up, and complex eyes such as shock, surprise, doubt, and disbelief were cast on Jian Chen.
"Jian Chen, what you said is true, as long as we don't encounter three third-order demonic beasts at the same time, then we won't encounter the slightest danger. Captain Kent's breathing became heavier, and he asked in an eager tone. If it was really as safe as Jian Chen said, then the head of Ken De would have to take Jian Chen's voice to hunt the third-order demonic beast, after all, the value of the third-order demonic beast, whether it was a corpse or a demon core, was several times higher than that of a second-order demonic beast.
"Jian Chen, do you really have the strength to hunt third-order demonic beasts?" Diel's tone was obviously a little incredulous. Although Jian Chen had killed a second-order peak black tiger, this black tiger was already a seriously injured body, and its strength and complete state of the third-order demonic beast could not be compared at all.
"Yes, Jian Chen, this matter must not be sloppy at all, otherwise it will cost you your life. It was Changning Feng who spoke, and his tone was full of solemnity.
Jian Chen looked at everyone with a smile, for everyone's reaction, Jian Chen did not feel the slightest unhappiness in his heart, after all, with the current strength of the Flame Mercenary Group, it was indeed too difficult to hunt a third-order demonic beast, and if you didn't pay attention to it, there would be casualties, and everyone's caution was reasonable.
"This time, you might as well believe me once, but if we really can't fight against the third-order demonic beasts, we will have enough strength to retreat. Jian Chen's tone was full of confidence.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the head of Kende, for such an important matter, it is still up to the head of Kende to decide.
Captain Kende took a deep breath, staring at Jian Chen's eyes fiercely, when he saw the incomparable confidence on Jian Chen's face, he bit his silver teeth, and finally made up his mind, and shouted: "Okay, let's him for a while this time, Jian Chen, since you are so confident, then I will hand over the command of the team to you for the time being, what to do, it is completely up to you to decide, I don't know if you have any problems." As he spoke, Captain Kende's gaze swept towards everyone.
"I'm fine!"
"I'm fine!"
"I'm okay too!"
......
The decision of the head of the Kender regiment was quickly passed by everyone, and no one had an opinion, and all of them passed it. Seeing this, Jian Chen's face finally showed a happy smile, and said, "Well, since everyone trusts me so much, then I will definitely not disappoint everyone, now I'll arrange it." Saying that, Jian Chen's tone paused, and then continued to speak: "Next, I will walk in front, the position of the others will remain the same, once you encounter a third-order demonic beast, I will go first, and then you pay attention to the surroundings to prevent other demonic beasts from taking advantage of the chaos to attack, if other demonic beasts appear, then you try your best to hold it down, remember not to fight hard, just drag it on." β
Hearing this, everyone in the Flame Mercenary Group looked at each other, and they all saw a deep doubt and surprise in their eyes, they were indeed very curious in their hearts, how could Jian Chen, who only had the strength of an intermediate Great Sage, be able to hunt the third-order demonic beast alone, and from his conversations, it was not difficult to hear that he didn't seem to take the third-order demonic core to heart at all.
After breakfast, everyone packed up their things, and then marched towards the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range again, but the current formation has changed, Jian Chen alone opened a distance of ten meters from everyone and walked in front, while the rest of the people kept the previous formation unchanged, and the whole team did not exude a little momentum or murderous aura, on the way, it attracted a lot of first-order demonic beasts, but due to the reason that they were in a hurry now, these first-order demonic beasts were not handed over to Xiaodao and a few people to deal with, but were directly killed by the great sages in the Flame Mercenary Groupγ
As the people continued to go deeper, the terrain in the forest began to become harsh, and the ground was full of swamps that were difficult to detect with the naked eye, and all kinds of poisonous insects and poisonous plants were everywhere, and occasionally attacked by some special plants that could eat people.
Along the way, everyone maintained a state of vigilance, while paying attention to the ground under their feet, while paying attention to the surrounding environment and moving forward cautiously, along the way, everyone harvested a few first-order and second-order demon cores, but as they continued to go deeper, the first-order demonic beasts gradually decreased, and the second-order demonic beasts, almost every distance they walked, they would meet a head.
At this moment, Jian Chen's ears trembled slightly, and then his pace suddenly stopped, and he raised his hand to signal the members of the Flame Mercenary Group who were following behind him to stop.
Sensing Jian Chen's movements, everyone in the Flame Mercenary Group also stopped, looking around with nervous expressions on their faces, although Jian Chen had repeatedly assured that as long as they did not encounter more than two third-order demonic beasts at the same time, there would be almost no danger, but everyone's hearts were still nervous, after all, this time they were facing third-order demonic beasts, not ordinary second-order demonic beasts. Although there is only a difference between the second-order demonic beast and the third-order demonic beast, the difference in strength is several times greater.
At this time, a beast's roar came from the front, and with the violent shaking of the weeds in front, a huge monster with a body size of two meters appeared in everyone's sight, this monster looked like a wild boar, with a long nose, the only difference from the wild boar was at the corner of the mouth, where there were snow-white fangs that were more than two feet long, and on the forehead, there was a single horn.
The head of Kende's eyes swept over the demonic beast in front of him, his face immediately became solemn, and he said, "One-horned demon pig! β
Jian Chen nodded slightly, staring at the one-horned demon pig in front of him with a flat gaze, the silver-white breeze sword gradually appeared in his right hand, and a layer of hazy sword light emanated out, enveloping the entire sword body.
"Act according to the original plan, this demon ** will deal with it for me, you pay attention to your own safety. Dropping these words, Jian Chen's sword quickly rushed towards the one-horned wild boar.
