You must know that the location where the two of them are now is the last section of the front section of the second-level mountain range.
If you cross this lake and walk one mile further, you will enter the middle of the secondary mountain range.
There, there are simply an overwhelming number of level five ferocious beasts like water-swallowing beasts.
But Zhou Yue chose to absorb the water-swallowing beast's core at the junction of the front and middle sections of the secondary mountain range, on the shore of this lake?
What a dangerous thing this is.
When Su Xing thought of this, his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkled.
Not to mention that Zhou Yue was so confident in entrusting her back to him, and was not worried at all that he would sneak attack her while she was absorbing the beast core and swallow all the beast core for himself.
Even a slightly cautious disciple of the sect would not choose to retreat in such a dangerous place, right?
Su Xing raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yue, and saw that her pleading look didn't seem to be intentional.
Maybe, I am too cautious?
Su Xing shook his head. Although he was unwilling to stay in Duanyang Forest for any longer, absorbing the beast core would only take half an hour. He believed that no changes would occur in half an hour.
"The depths of Duanyang Forest are full of dangers. Senior sister should absorb the energy in the beast core as soon as possible, so that we can return to the sect as soon as possible and leave the place of right and wrong."
Zhou Yue nodded vigorously after hearing this, then sat down and placed the sapphire-like beast core in front of her.
"Then please ask my junior brother to protect me."
Zhou Yue said something and slowly closed her eyes.
It seems...she really trusts me.
Is it just her own personality, or is it...
Su Xing held the rusty sword in his hand and stood beside Zhou Yue who was sitting cross-legged. His handsome eyes looked back and forth around the lake. If there was any sign of trouble, he would immediately catch it.
A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and this lake, the only one blessed by the sun, did not seem to be as dangerous as imagined.
Su Xing lowered his head and looked at the blue beast core in front of Zhou Yue. The light on the blue crystal was much weaker than before. He believed that Zhou Yue would be able to absorb it in a short time.
"How much will the water-swallowing beast's core increase the power of Senior Sister Zhou's illusion technique?"
Su Xing recalled Zhou Yue's previous decisive battles with various ferocious beasts in his mind, and began to think about how he would break the situation if he faced Zhou Yue's illusion technique.
"The only way to break illusions is to have strong soul power or be proficient in illusions. The only thing left is pure power."
He recalled how the Water Swallowing Beast had dealt with six real and false attacks before. Didn't it rely on a range of attacks to successfully repel Zhou Yue?
And just when he relaxed his vigilance slightly, a bush not far from the lake shore suddenly trembled.
"Stab-"
The nameless rusty sword was pulled out of the scabbard in the blink of an eye and held in Su Xing's hand.
He squinted his eyes, trying to see what was hidden in the grass.
After a while, a slender shadow suddenly jumped out from the grass.
It was a snake-like creature that was more than three feet long, but the earth-colored snake body had eight short, thin claws, and there was a two-inch long horn on the snake's head.
"Escape from the earth?"
Su Xing recognized this ferocious beast at a glance.
The ground-escape dragon is a fifth-level earth-type ferocious beast. It is a mutant species of ordinary dragons. Ordinary dragons only have four claws, but this one has eight, and it can escape thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.
Hence the name Dundijiao.
At the same time that Su Xing discovered the escape dragon, the snake also noticed Su Xing.
The dragon snake was four feet away from Su Xing. A snake's head stood tall, and bright red letters spit out from the snake's mouth from time to time, which looked extremely terrifying.
The man and the beast just looked at each other, and no one made a move first.
Su Xing knew that the Earth-Escape Jiao was actually an extremely timid ferocious beast, unlike the ferocious Claw Wolf. As long as the Earth-Escape Jiao felt the slightest danger, it would escape thousands of miles away.
So he did not take the initiative, but prepared to watch the movements of the escape dragon.
I saw the escaping dragon spit out the letter, turned the snake's head and looked at Zhou Yue who was meditating next to Su Xing.
"Hiss."
Suddenly, the snake's yellow eyes shrank, and as if it saw extremely delicious food, it began to move its flexible and slender body towards the two of them.
"well."
Su Xing sighed secretly, this vicious creature must have had the attention of a water-eating beast.
Although the Escape Dragon is timid, its character is extremely stubborn. If it is determined to get this beast core, it will never leave easily.
Although Su Xing stood with his sword drawn, the force under his feet was already strong and he was ready to attack the snake at any moment.
He was just waiting for the Earth-Escape Jiao to come within his range.
The Escape Dragon moves very quickly underground, but on the ground, it crawls clumsily on the ground with its eight claws.
Four feet, three feet, two feet, one foot!
When the snake's head of the Earth-Escape Dragon reached a position about one foot between the two of them, Su Xing suddenly stood up from the ground, raised the rusty sword in his hand high above his head, and struck the fat snake's head with all his strength.
"clang--"
To Su Xing's surprise, when the rusty sword he struck down with 70% of his strength hit the snake's head, it bounced back as if it had struck a gold stone.
"oh?"
Su Xing took two steps back, and the arm holding the sword was numb from the shock, which made him change his mind.
I saw that the snake head, which was originally the color of earth, turned into dark gold.
"It is indeed a ferocious earth beast, and its defensive capabilities are truly top-notch."
"But... try this trick!"
Su Xing smiled confidently and stood the rusty sword in front of his chest.
His eyes narrowed slightly. Although he stood still, the vitality in his Dantian was surging crazily towards his limbs.
When the Escape Jiao saw Su Xing paused on the spot, he thought that the opponent was frightened by his own defense. He happily vomited his message and continued to crawl towards Su Xing.
It's just that he climbed too slowly.
Just when its snake head reached the position half a foot in front of Su Xing, a majestic aura suddenly burst out from Su Xing's body. This vast aura burst out from every inch of the young man's skin, heading straight towards the sky.
Fly away.
"Isn't it right to kill things that threaten me?"
This surging and terrifying aura couldn't help but make the Escape Jiao stop his movements.
Su Xing smiled evilly and raised his hand to hold the sword, with the blade parallel to his shoulder.
With both feet pushing hard on the ground, his body rose up from the ground and flew above the snake's head in the blink of an eye.
"Returning to our roots."
After speaking calmly, Su Xing stood on his head and flew towards the snake head on the ground.
A pair of rusty long swords stabbed straight towards the ground. The snake's eyes turned red, and its head turned black and gold again in the blink of an eye.
In its eyes, its own black gold snake head cannot be broken by a small Huayuan realm human boy.
I am the most defensive creature among the intermediate ferocious beasts!
The blade of the rusty sword and the black gold snake head connected at the next moment.
The dragon snake spit out the letter and secretly sighed that the blade of the sword was too weak, right?
"呲——"
The next moment, a red light flashed.
Black-red blood spurted out from the head of the Hidden Earth Dragon, once again giving Su Xing's yellow robe a dark red color.
The stabbing shadow of the sword was like a swift arrow, and the snake's head exploded like firecrackers on the earth.
The snake's head exploded, and the red and white things suddenly scattered on the shore of the lake.
Su Xing dropped the blood on the sword's edge again, took back the Nameless Sword, and turned back to the original place.
The second form of the Falling Leaf Sword Technique, in the final analysis. If you want to exert the full power of this sword technique, the sword wielder needs to imitate the way the whirling leaves fall, and slowly fall to the ground.
Just like the sword edge, it seems to be weak and weak, but in fact it lands on the head of the Escaped Jiao with hidden murderous intent.
Su Xing put the core of the Escaped Dragon into his bag and thought in his mind:
"After absorbing this beast core, I will indeed be a cultivator of earth attribute energy. Although it will only be short-lived."
He looked at the blood on his body and shook his head helplessly.
This time I went out, but I wasted a lot of clothes. This is already my third change of clothes.
And he looked at Zhou Yue on the side and saw that the light on the blue crystal was getting darker and darker. It would take a few minutes for Zhou Yue to wake up from his meditative state.
At this moment, an idea suddenly appeared in Su Xing's mind.
He frowned and thought for a while, his face extremely hesitant. But after a few breaths, he clapped his hands and decided to do what he wanted in his heart.
It is always better to be cautious when going out by yourself.
He walked to the body of the underground dragon and touched the snake's blood on the rusty sword blade and his own skin.
Then he turned around and walked to Zhou Yue's side, leaned up, and lay down next to Zhou Yue's meditating position with a bang.
He put the rusty sword on himself, tilted his head, closed his eyes, and pretended to be unconscious.
…
A few minutes later, Zhou Yue made a squealing sound and woke up from trance.
After absorbing the water-devouring beast's core, she felt that her strength had increased a bit, and she could also faintly feel that her mastery of illusions had also increased a bit.
This surprised her very much.
If we deal with it now...
She straightened her appearance and just stood up, her movements stagnant.
"Su, junior brother?"
Looking at Su Xing who was unconscious on the ground, Zhou Yue's expression suddenly became wonderful.
