The pockmarked young man came over quickly to come to the rescue.
As he spoke, the pockmarked boy showed a faint complacency in his own strength.
"Oh, I see……"
Zhou Xing suddenly realized that the task of hunting the Iron Brown Bear was indeed not easy.
But among these people, the ones with the lowest cultivation level are all at the peak of the Tongmai stage. Among them, Feng De is probably considered weak.
"As long as you understand."
Ding Jiuhui curled his lips, as if you were quite sensible.
"Of course. If that's the case, Zhou confirmed that he is still qualified to participate..."
Zhou Xing said slowly.
What!
Ding Jiuhui's face darkened, and the invisible inner energy emitted during the pulse-opening stage made several people present take a deep breath.
The pockmarked boy and the slender girl both looked at Zhou Xing in surprise.
"After all...among you, there is a defeated general under my command."
Zhou Xing remained unmoved.
His eyes glanced at Feng De intentionally or unintentionally.
"Zhou Xing! Don't be so arrogant!"
Feng De's face turned the color of pig liver, extremely embarrassed.
But, he couldn't deny this fact, and even felt afraid of Zhou Xing in his heart.
Among the members of this mission, his strength is considered to be at the bottom. He was able to join because of his good relationship with Ding Jiuhui.
"oh?"
Ding Jiuhui glanced at Feng De thoughtfully.
The shame of Feng De's defeat will naturally not be publicized everywhere; and the brief confrontation in the cafeteria that day can only be regarded as a small fight. It is very common in the sect and is only known to people in a small circle.
On the contrary, it was Zhou Xing and Mu Xueqing's "walking hand in hand" that attracted everyone's attention, and was passed down by tens of thousands.
"Hehe, boy, it seems that I, Ding, have underestimated you. How about this, as the deputy team leader, you only need to pass my "one finger" test and you will be recognized."
Ding Jiuhui's triangular eyes looked at Zhou Xing again with amusement.
He has confirmed that Zhou Xing's strength should be higher than Feng De's. Logically speaking, he is qualified to be the last member of the team.
However.
Zhou Xing had just lost his face, and since he had a good relationship with Feng De, it was necessary to vent his anger on his friend.
One finger?
The pock-marked boy and the slender girl on the other side changed their colors when they heard this.
The two of them were shocked, realizing that Ding Jiuhui wanted to deliberately embarrass Zhou Xing, and even teach him a lesson.
"Oh well."
Zhou Xing's expression remained as usual, as if he was unable to understand Ding Jiuhui's malice at all.
"good!"
Ding Jiuhui smiled strangely, stretched out a soft finger, and lightly pointed towards Zhou Xing.
That finger didn't seem to be exerting any force at all, and there was just a dull whisper of airflow around the finger.
"It's the intermediate martial arts "Liu Yin Zhi"!"
Some people nearby changed their colors one after another.
This "Liu Yin Finger" belongs to the feminine martial arts. It looks like wicker brushing against the face, but in fact it contains murderous intent.
Zhou Xing faintly felt that an invisible feminine inner breath was "accumulated but not released" on the opponent's light fingertips. The sense of crisis it brought was even slightly better than Wang Lingyun's "Iron Cloud Claw".
The murderous intention of "Iron Cloud Claw" comes from the bright side, but this "Liu Yin Finger" contains it in the dark.
"break!"
Zhou Xing did not retreat at all, he punched out, his heart beat powerfully, and a surge of energy and blood surged out.
call!
The moment the punch was thrown, there was a heavy wind, faintly accompanied by heavy rain and thunder.
Pengpa!
In an instant, a finger and a fist collided in mid-air, and an invisible wave of air exploded.
Several people watching the battle felt the cold wind piercing their faces and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Outside the Zongwu Hall.
Pengpa!
With one finger and one arrow, the air flow vibrated and the cold wind hit his face; the impressive momentum alarmed many people.
Feng De, and even another man and a woman on the side looked surprised and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
The two figures, as soon as they met, quickly separated.
Among them, Zhou Xing stepped back a foot away, swaying slightly on the spot, his blood boiling, and his face turned slightly red.
He himself was not injured, but he felt a stinging pain in his fist. After being invaded by the opponent's feminine inner energy, his energy and blood were a little blocked.
However, as a vigorous flow of heat emerged from the heart, Qi and blood flowed quickly.
Zhou Xing discovered that after the transformation of the mysterious heart, the body's resistance to internal energy attacks was somewhat enhanced.
the other side.
Ding Jiuhui took a few steps back and quickly stabilized, his fingers drooping slightly.
It seemed that he had the upper hand.
However, Ding Jiuhui's face gradually became serious, hiding a hint of surprise.
"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Zhou is actually a secretive person. Not only is his boxing skills amazing, but he also has 'natural power'."
Ding Jiuhui forced a smile on his face.
In the previous confrontation, he had already used 70% of his inner breath, and as a result, his fingers were still numb.
"Senior brother Domondin kept his hand, that finger just now really made him suffer a little secretly."
Zhou Xing rubbed his hands and asked the other party to go down the steps.
In the sect, it is necessary to properly show a certain degree of strength and strength.
Just before and after the confrontation, Ding Jiuhui's attitude toward Zhou Xing took a 180-degree turn.
"Haha, in this way, our team will be assembled."
Ding Jiuhui breathed a sigh of relief.
He was also dubious about Zhou Xing's words.
It stands to reason that with his cultivation in the channel-opening stage, his invisible feminine inner breath is enough to cause minor injuries to the opponent.
But a thought flashed through his mind: If Zhou Xing didn't suffer at all in the confrontation just now, then this person was hiding too deeply...
Of course, this unrealistic idea was quickly dismissed by him.
"With Senior Brother Zhou joining us, our chances of winning will be even greater."
The pockmarked young man also had a smile on his face and was very afraid of Zhou Xing's strength.
Only Feng De looked a little embarrassed, quite embarrassed.
"Everyone is gathered?"
At this time, a gentle young man's voice came from beside Zhou Xing.
Um?
Zhou Xing's heart froze, and he didn't notice it until the moment the other party appeared.
I saw a handsome and gentle young man with long flowing hair and a long package appearing in front of several people.
"Junior Brother Le!"
Ding Jiuhui and others all greeted him one after another and were very polite.
"Brother Lefeng, you are finally here."
The slender girl, who had always been dull, had bright eyes and a soft voice.
Le Feng! Is he that Le Feng?
Zhou Xing looked shocked and hurriedly greeted the handsome young man.
Speaking of the "Le Feng" in front of me, he is one of the few geniuses in the outer sect.
Zhou Xing remembered that the other party entered the sect more than half a year later than him, but he broke through the channel-opening stage in just one year!
It is said that Le Feng’s current cultivation level is at least in the middle stage of Tongmai!
In terms of age, the other person is younger than me!
Facing such a genius, Zhou Xing had to stand in awe.
"Oh, are you that senior brother Zhou Xing?"
Le Feng's eyes lingered on Zhou Xing's face for a moment, showing a slight interest.
Zhou Xing couldn't help but feel depressed. It seemed that he couldn't get rid of his "soft rice" hat in a short time.
no way.
Mu Xueqing's reputation in the outer sect is really great. She has the aura of being the proud daughter of heaven and the most beautiful woman in the outer sect. It is quite a big deal to have such a relationship with her.
"Senior Brother Zhou, don't get me wrong."
Le Feng smiled slightly and then explained: "Mu Xueqing's beauty and talent are astonishing. She was once my competitor. However, recently due to some reasons, she entered the inner gate early."
turn out to be.
Le Feng, one of the geniuses of the outer sect, once competed with Mu Xueqing.
"Hmph! Then Mu Xueqing has to enter the inner gate half a year earlier than Brother Le. And who knows if Mu Xueqing entered the inner gate early for some 'special' reason."
The slender girl looked very admired and protective of Le Feng.
"Okay, let's not mention this. Let's discuss the mission together..."
Le Feng waved his hand and got to the point.
At this point, all the members of the team have gathered together.
The captain is Le Feng and the vice-captain is Ding Jiuhui.
The following four members are Zhou Xing, Feng De, the pockmarked boy, and the slender girl.
Six people in total.
Zhou Xing was slightly surprised that a good lineup had been assembled for the task of hunting the Iron Brown Bear.
In the team, Le Feng and Ding Jiuhui are both in the Tongmai stage, especially the former, who is considered a top-notch genius among the outer sects.
The other four team members, although they are not in the channel-opening stage, are all at the peak of body-building!
After a while.
The six members of the team received the team mission at the Zongwu Hall and discussed some details.
Half a day later.
A group of people rode horses and arrived at the edge of Yunyuemen's influence, a rolling mountain range.
"This is the 'Yunyuan Mountain Range', which runs through the nearby countries. It is only a small area nearby. Under the jurisdiction of Yunyue Sect, it is actually a neutral and dangerous forbidden land!"
Le Feng took the lead in dismounting.
Zhou Xing had heard a little about the records and legends of the "Yunyuan Mountains".
It is said that deep in this mountain range, there exist ancient beasts that have continued from ancient times, possessing the terrifying power to overwhelm mountains and destroy sects and countries.
Many years ago, the superpowers of nearby countries joined forces to eliminate the terrifying existence deep in the mountains, and there were earth-shattering battles.
As for the final result, it is unknown.
In the current situation, humans, as long as they don't go deep into the Yunyuan Mountains, will not encounter the terrifying existence in the legend.
"According to the mission information, the Iron Brown Bear should be nearby, so we don't need to go deep."
Le Feng dispelled several people's worries.
After all, the Yunyuan Mountains are a famous forbidden area. If they want to go deep, they, the outer disciples, simply cannot fill their teeth.
Roar!
As soon as we entered the mountains, some tiger and leopard-like animals came scurrying nearby.
However, these are just ordinary animals.
Ordinary tigers and leopards can easily cope with it during the tempering period and there is no danger to their lives.
Liu Yinzhi!
Ding Jiuhui lightly touched the head of a leopard with a finger, and the leopard let out a "whoosh" and died.
The ferocious beast that scares ordinary people can be killed in one move in front of the Tongmai stage.
After all, the "inner breath" has been cultivated in the Tongmai stage, which can invade the body and crush vital organs such as organs and blood vessels. Ordinary flesh and blood bodies cannot resist it.
In comparison.
Feng De, the pockmarked boy, and the slender girl usually need two or three moves to kill a tiger and leopard-like beast.
In this case, the gap between the pulse-opening stage and the body-forging stage is clearly revealed.
"roll!"
Zhou Xing hit a jackal on the head with a heavy punch. The latter's head was suddenly broken and blood spattered on the spot.
Although there is no "inner breath", Zhou Xing's strength is very strong and his boxing skills are high-temperature.
Even if he couldn't kill an ordinary beast with one punch, he would still be severely disabled and lose his fighting power. This was even if he hadn't shown the full potential of "Iron Plow Fist".
The strength shown by Zhou Xing made Le Feng take another look and show appreciation.
"Coming."
Le Feng led the way, and the animals that approached him were all instantly shot away to death, making it difficult to see the movements clearly.
Not long after.
The six people climbed over a mountain peak, and a forest appeared in front of them, leaning against the mountain, and some caves were vaguely visible.
Zhou Xing's eyesight, after his physical transformation, was far superior to that of ordinary people. He could vaguely see some thick footprints in the mountains and forests, which was far better than that of humans and ordinary animals.
"It's around here, everyone, get ready."
Le Feng took out a small jar of honey and threw it on a hilltop upwind.
Since they didn't bring any tools, they couldn't lay traps and ambush, but only set simple baits. Furthermore, when faced with existences like the Iron Brown Bear that could be classified as dangerous beasts, ordinary traps and ordinary blades were useless.
No roar!
After only half a cup of tea, two tall brown bears jumped out of the woods, nearly ten feet tall and almost as big as a one-story small house.
The two huge brown-black shadows roared towards them, and the invisible breath of ferocious beasts caused the insect beasts in the nearby area to flee in fright.
"This is the iron brown bear, so big..."
The weaker Feng De and the slender girl had numb scalps and trembling legs.
This was the first time they had faced a ferocious beast of this size. After all, they were only junior outer disciples.
"Two ends came, and the size is larger than expected."
Le Feng's complexion changed slightly.
According to the mission description, one bile from an iron brown bear of this size can be exchanged for forty or fifty contribution points.
"Come on, everyone!"
Le Feng and Ding Jiuhui looked at each other and each faced an iron brown bear.
According to the plan, the four groups in the weekly body-burning stage will be divided into two groups to support the leaders of the two major channel-opening stages respectively.
Ding Jiuhui, Zhou Xing, and Feng De were divided into one group to deal with one of the iron brown bears.
Le Feng, the pockmarked boy, and the slender girl are the other group.
However, the results of the initial confrontation were far from ideal and even disappointing.
"Liu Yin Zhi!"
Ding Jiuhui swayed, moved to the side of the iron brown bear, and pointed at his vest.
The iron brown bear's vest is already several feet above his head.
puff!
The huge body of the iron brown bear only swayed, but it was not serious. Then a pair of bear arms waved randomly, and a strong wind blew up.
"careful!"
Ding Jiuhui's speed could barely dodge a blow.
ah!
But Feng De on the side screamed, unable to dodge, and fought the iron brown bear head-on.
Just the next moment.
Boom!
Feng De turned into a black shadow, flew backwards several feet, hit the mountain wall, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
In a confrontation, Feng De was slapped away!
Zhou Xing, on the other hand, reacted extremely quickly and rolled on the spot, avoiding the thick and fluffy bear arms.
"so close!"
Zhou Xing secretly broke into a cold sweat.
If his body hadn't undergone the transformation of the mysterious heart, and his reflexes and speed had greatly increased, he might have been like Feng De and had to resist.
On the other hand, the situation of Le Feng and the others is not optimistic either.
Snapped!
The slender girl waved a silver whip and wrapped it around the leg of another iron-brown bear, with a happy look on her face.
The iron brown bear was furious, the wind roared, and he roared and grabbed the silver whip.
"Let go!"
Le Feng reminded loudly, but it was too late.
next moment.
The slender girl was grabbed by the iron brown bear with a silver whip, and was dragged into the air. Its bloody mouth was comparable to that of a giant python, and it bit hard at the unbalanced girl in mid-air.
"ah……"
The girl's scream echoed in the mountains and fields.
Hearing the scream of the slender girl, Zhou Xing and others felt their hearts tremble, and they realized that the difficulty of this mission was beyond expectation.
