"How long will it take for it to mature?" Ning Chen asked.
"About three hours." Jiang Yun said.
Three hours is not long, and a few people were guarding the seven-leaf magnolia in the cave.
Ning Chen sat cross-legged and started to use the "Body Tempering Technique". Wisps of refreshing fragrance poured into his nose and blended into his body, making him feel very comfortable and making his practice more effective with half the effort.
Usually he would reach his limit after practicing for more than an hour at a time, but this time he practiced for more than two hours before opening his eyes.
"A magical elixir." Ning Chen praised.
The seven-leaf magnolia has almost fully bloomed. The three orchids have spread out, and the fragrance has become stronger and stronger. The whole cave is filled with fragrance, and it even spreads to the outside of the cave.
Jiang Yun, Xu You, and the Meng family brothers and sisters all stared at the seven-leaf magnolia. The Meng family brothers and sisters looked at each other with some regret. If they got this elixir, they might be able to break through to the third level.
Pity.
"It's almost ripe, there's still half an hour left." Jiang Yun said.
At this moment, a beast's roar suddenly sounded outside.
The roar of the beast was deafening, just outside the cave.
"No, it's a scary creature."
"Maybe I was attracted by the fragrance of seven-leaf magnolia."
The faces of several people changed, and they all looked at the entrance of the cave. With a "bang", the cave shook, and a huge head appeared at the entrance of the cave, shaped like a black bear, with red eyes, bursting with cold murderous intent. One head was three times the size of the entrance of the cave.
One-third the size.
The black bear was frantically charging at the entrance of the cave. It was too big to come in directly. Under the frenzied collision, rocks flew at the entrance of the cave, and everyone was hit by it. The black bear roared and squeezed into the entrance of the cave, and saw the seven-year-old plant at a glance.
Magnolia leaves.
This is a third-level terrifying creature. It already has some wisdom and has an instinctive sensitivity to elixirs. Its nose twitched and smelled the rich fragrance of flowers. It suddenly became excited and kicked its four paws on the ground.
He would pounce on the Seven-leaf Magnolia with his mouth shut.
"Stop it." Xu You shouted.
He stopped the black bear and punched first, powerful force burst out, the air exploded, and he collided with the black bear.
Fortunately, this cave is gourd-shaped, small on the outside and wide on the inside. The space inside the cave is very large, even if a scary black bear creature squeezes in, it is spacious enough.
At the same time as Xu You took action, Ning Chen patted the knife case, pulled out the sword, and said to Jiang Yun: "You guard the seven-leaf magnolia."
Jiang Yun nodded and placed her right hand on the hilt of the Qinglu Sword.
She did not participate in the war, mainly not to guard against black bears approaching the seven-leaf magnolia, but to guard against the Meng family brothers and sisters.
Although judging from their previous performance, the Meng family brothers and sisters are pretty good people, but people's hearts cannot stand the test. At this moment, faced with the temptation of the elixir, Ning Chen and the three of them maintained a three-point attitude towards everyone except each other.
beware.
puff!
There was a muffled sound and blood spattered.
Ning Chen slashed the long knife in his hand, leaving a deep wound on the black bear.
...
At the same time, outside the cave.
The cold man, Man Niu, and the two second-level peak team members stared at the cave. Listening to the movement in the cave, Man Niu laughed: "Hey, the boss is still powerful. This third-level terrifying creature is enough for the people inside."
It’s time to drink a bottle.”
This is the way of cold men.
Zhao Zheng died, leaving only the four of them. Their strength was clearly no match for Ning Chen and the others.
So in order to compete for the elixir, the ruthless man attracted this black bear - yes, they deliberately attracted this terrifying black bear creature.
Ten minutes ago, they found the cave, and even vaguely smelled the refreshing aroma. They were sure that the elixir was inside the cave. The cold man and the bull found the black bear in the distance and lured it over.
.
Originally, the black bear was staring at them. When they got near the cave entrance, the black bear smelled the scent of the elixir and immediately changed its target and headed straight for the cave entrance.
"Boss, when will we take action?" asked a second-grade warrior.
"Now." The cold man took the lead and jumped into the cave.
Man Niu and two second-level warriors followed closely behind.
When the four people entered the cave, Ning Chen immediately discovered them. His heart moved, and he instantly understood that it was these people's plan, and his heart was filled with rage.
At the waterfall, he didn't kill him and let these people go. However, they didn't know what was wrong and chased him again, attracting the black bear.
Do you really think I am a soft-hearted person?
"Brother Xu, leave this black bear to me." Ning Chen's pupils shrank and he said: "You go deal with that big guy. Jiang Yun, you deal with the other third-level guy. Meng Qingshan, Meng Qingyu, you two deal with those two second-level ones.
Quality."
After quickly making arrangements, Ning Chen held the sword in both hands and struck out violently with the seventh slash of "Nine Slashes of Breaking Waves". At the same time, he made a fist with his left hand and struck out with "Rang Niu Fist", hitting the black bear on the head.
Xu You pounced on the bull.
With a sonorous sound, Jiang Yun pulled out the Qinglu Sword. The green light was misty and the sword flowers bloomed. "Taiyi Light Splitting Sword Jue" Li Zi Jue was launched, shrouding the cold man.
Meng Qingshan hesitated and glanced at the Seven-leaf Magnolia vaguely. Meng Qingyu shook his head at his brother and called out: "Brother."
The brother and sister had a good rapport, and Meng Qingshan immediately understood what his sister meant.
At this time, the situation was chaotic. Ning Chen and the three of them had opponents, but the ruthless man had two second-level enemies on his side. Even if he didn't take action, the other party might not let them go.
As for picking the seven-leaf magnolia during the chaos... there may be hope, but what happens after you pick it?
Once they pick off the seven-leaf magnolia, they will immediately become the target of public criticism. Not only the ruthless men but also Ning Chen and the others will not let them go.
"Qingyu is still awake." Meng Qingshan secretly said something dangerous, nodded to his sister, and the two of them swung their swords towards the two second-level realms.
For a time, the light of swords and shadows filled the entire cave.
Xu You still suffered a loss against Man Niu. After all, Xu You was only at the peak of the second level, and the injury he suffered in the previous fight with Zhang Meng had not yet healed, so he would not be able to last long.
Jiang Yun couldn't take advantage of the cold man.
This cold man is different from Zhang Meng. He has a very high level of cultivation, and his martial arts and body skills are even better than Zhang Meng. Although Jiang Yun has the Qinglu Sword in her hand, her level of cultivation is a bit lower.
In addition, the Meng family brothers and sisters are also at a disadvantage. Their cultivation levels are comparable to each other, but both of them are injured, especially Meng Qingshan. He was seriously injured before and cannot perform at 70% to 80% of his strength at the moment.
"We must fight quickly." Ning Chen thought to himself.
The next moment, Ning Chen's sword technique changed and he displayed "One Sword Breaks All Laws".
At this time, the Meng family brothers and sisters also joined the battle, and they had no time to pay attention to Ning Chen. Ning Chen no longer had any scruples and used his trump card.
As for the cold men, it didn't matter if they saw them. Ning Chen had no intention of letting them go this time. Since they were looking for death, none of them would be spared.
"kill!"
Ning Chen shouted violently, and slashed down with his long knife. The light of the knife was like a rainbow, and it hit the belly of the black bear. With a pop, blood poured out, mixed with the internal organs, and left a splash on the ground.
This knife was so powerful that it cut open the black bear's fur, cut open its flesh and blood, and disemboweled the black bear...
