It has to be said that the days in the Qingling Mountains are indeed a bit boring. Not to mention sleeping in the open air, you also have to be cautious. You even have to go together to relieve yourself and pee. If you accidentally encounter a monster attack, someone will
Take care of me, at least I have time to put on my pants.
After experiencing the attack by the Shadow Rats, the mercenaries were fully aware of the dangers of the central area, so they were extremely alert and alert at all times, not daring to ignore even the slightest noise around them.
The leader of the regiment, Fang Chihan, relied on his extraordinary vigilance as an old mercenary to lead everyone to avoid dangerous areas. He pursued the supreme strategy of "run if you can't beat him, run if you can beat him."
When monsters are fighting, try to maintain the fighting power of the mercenaries.
In the past few days, while Xiao Che was cultivating his life force, he also gained a lot of knowledge. For example, the fragrance of tongue orchids can mask the smell of human beings. Areas with few vegetation either contain elixirs or powerful monsters, as well as black-lined poisonous snakes.
His blood can make some monsters stay away, which is knowledge about the deep forest that is not recorded in books.
However, as they deepened into the central area of Qingling Mountains, the number of monsters also increased greatly, almost reaching the frequency of a small monster at ten steps and a large monster at a hundred steps. Therefore, no matter how cautious the Red Blood Mercenary Group was,
, the battle that was supposed to happen was still inevitable.
Fortunately, Fang Chihan was indeed strong enough to resist most monsters. Under his leadership, there were no dangers along the way.
On the third day after entering the siege of the mountains, the mercenary group once again experienced a fierce battle and encountered a powerful monster in the late stage of the Demon Fate Realm - the Cloud Patterned Light Leopard.
This time, the Red Blood Mercenary Group did not have the same good luck as in the past. The Cloud Patterned Light Leopard was extremely powerful and eager to fight. It was completely unafraid of the Red Blood Mercenary Group and others. It launched an attack brazenly and galloped through the crowd with terrifying speed.
In the end, after tearing apart nearly ten mercenaries, he was completely killed by Fang Chihan.
However, at this time, the Scarlet Blood Mercenary Group was already more than half way away from the destination of the mission. When he thought of the Life Crystal Fruit Tree, Xiao Che could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
In the early morning of the fourth day, as dawn broke, Xiao Che, dressed lightly and still wearing a silver mask on his face, quietly walked out of the cave where the mercenary group lived, found a hidden place with lush vegetation, and sprinkled some tongue orchids around it.
powder, and then sat down cross-legged.
Xiao Che's eyes were deep, and there was a determined look on his face under the mask. After these few days of traveling, he knew that his strength was no longer enough. Not to mention the cloud-patterned light leopards, he had faced seven before.
The Shadow Rat General, without using his trump card, was somewhat weak. If Fang Chihan hadn't killed the Rat King in the end, it's still unknown how his battle with those Rat Generals would have turned out.
"Low cultivation level is a limitation after all." Xiao Che frowned. If he were at the peak of the Body Forging Realm now, he would dare to fight even a master of the Six-line Destiny Realm.
"However, these days of fighting are not fruitless. It has allowed the power of the sun and the moon to fuse with the bones in the body to a certain extent. There is only one chance left before we can reach the bone forging realm." After saying this, Xiao Che subconsciously looked towards
The green jade spirit branch exuding spiritual energy in his hand raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
: "Now that we have this elixir, it will not be a problem to achieve perfect bone forging."
Sapphire Spirit Branch is a very precious elixir that can only be found but not sought. Even Danyangfang generally does not sell it to the public. Sapphire Spirit Branch has excellent medicinal effects on improving the physique of warriors and strengthening their body. It is far more effective than ordinary body-building elixirs.
What's precious is that its medicinal power is mild and not as strong as ordinary body-building elixirs. There is no need to worry about the instability of a warrior's foundation.
Xiao Che took a deep breath and murmured: "You do extraordinary things at urgent times, and you don't have to worry about so much now." If the situation was not urgent, he was afraid that his strength would not be enough to cope with the subsequent battle. With Xiao Che's cautious attitude
Xinxing would not choose to break through in such a dangerous place in the Qingling Mountains.
After saying that, Xiao Che made up his mind and placed a small piece of sapphire spirit branch the size of a baby's arm in front of himself. He made seals with both hands and recited the formula silently. As the harsh and obscure formulas sounded, Xiao Che's purple aura filled the air.
, the Seed of the Red Sun and the Seed of the Xuan Yue rotate faster and faster, and the two powers of the Red Sun and the Xuan Yue continue to emerge, flowing into the meridians, merged into the flesh and blood, and faintly grazing towards the bones in the torso and limbs,
The red-gold and blue magic patterns on the surface of its body appeared again, exuding two peculiar brilliance.
At this time, Xiao Che made a strange move. He raised his left hand and waved out a scorching red-gold light that turned into flames and wrapped around the jade spiritual branch, letting it slowly float in front of him. Under the red-gold flames,
Under constant burning, the spiritual branches that were originally as green as emerald and as textured as beautiful jade suddenly began to slowly deform, with a faint tendency to melt.
The reason why Xiao Che did this was that he had read it in ancient books and knew that the jade spirit branch would not be able to exert its true medicinal effect if taken orally, but that it needed to be refined into a jade bone pill to fully activate its medicinal properties.
Under the current circumstances, Xiao Che did not have the conditions to find a pharmacist to refine the Jade Bone Pill, but he did not want to take it orally and waste the magical medicinal properties of the Jade Spirit Branch.
Then, he had an idea and decided to risk using the flames transformed by the power of the red sun to refine the elixir. Since the power of the red sun is the power transformed by absorbing the energy of the sun, the flames it transformed also have some of the power of the sun.
Qi has the property of nurturing all things, and when used to refine the sapphire spirit branch, it has a great possibility to fully exert its medicinal effects.
Sure enough, after a while, within the red gold flame, the sapphire spiritual branch gradually turned into a ball of green liquid like nectar, exuding a rich life energy, which was many times stronger than before.
"It seems that the bet was right." Xiao Che grinned when he saw this. In fact, he was also a little worried. He was afraid that he would accidentally burn the jade spirit branch and there would be no place to cry. But seeing this scene, he felt a little nervous in his heart.
The stone finally fell to the ground.
"Absorb it as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams!"
Just when Xiao Che happily decided to absorb the spiritual liquid and complete the bone forging, a strong sense of danger suddenly spread in his heart, causing his expression to change suddenly.
Xiao Che didn't care about anything at the moment, he immediately opened his mouth and sucked in all the spiritual liquid suspended in front of him like a whale sucking water, and then planned to rush into the lush weeds to hide his aura.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden burst of fierce medicine
The force went straight to his forehead, causing Xiao Che to feel dizzy, as if he had drunk a jar of fragrant wine. Drunkness surged into his heart, and he couldn't control himself, and he froze in place.
This pause caused Xiao Che to miss the best opportunity to hide himself. When he came to his senses, he saw a strange-looking monster appear in front of him, with a pair of big dark blue eyes staring innocently and smartly.
he.
Xiao Che's heart felt cold and he cried secretly. He tried his best to suppress the medicinal power gushing out of his body. He felt bitter in his heart: "The medicinal power of this spiritual liquid really hurt me, but the aura of the monsters it attracted does not seem to be too strong."
Xiao Che was currently focused on suppressing the power of the medicine in his body, unable to fully display his strength. It was not easy to escape at this time.
He was already prepared for the battle, gradually calmed down, and began to seriously look at the monster in front of him.
"Why does it look different from what you imagined?" The moment Xiao Che saw the monster's true face clearly, his face looked a little strange.
This monster not only has a normal aura, but also looks quite cute. It is not tall and has a small body. It looks a bit like a rabbit, but its hair is different from the white hair of ordinary rabbits. It is bright red like a blazing flame.
, looking crystal clear and soft, the most special thing is its eyes, which are not the red that a rabbit should have but a deep dark blue, just like the starry sky in the middle of the night, and like a magnificent deep sapphire, very spiritual.
"Is this little guy really a monster?" Xiao Che was a little confused. It would be more believable to say that it was a spiritual beast.
The spirit beasts in Tianxu Continent are different from the monster beasts. Spirit beasts are spiritual, docile and relatively friendly to humans.
"Monsters and beasts are good at using their appearance to deceive people, so you can't let your guard down." Xiao Che said cautiously, but it was indeed difficult for him to generate any hostility towards the little guy.
Who makes this little guy look cute?
Suddenly, Xiao Che took out an elixir that looked like a radish from his arms, threw it in front of the strange-looking rabbit, and said softly and kindly: "Little rabbit, you're welcome, I'll treat you to a radish."
Seeing Xiao Che's move, the little rabbit casually glanced at the elixir with his big blue eyes, ignored it, and continued to stare at Xiao Che.
"I don't have any good things here." Xiao Che smiled sarcastically.
The moment Xiao Che spoke, the little rabbit sniffed the air with its exquisite and small nose, and then made a humane gesture toward him, which was very similar to the greedy expression of a businessman when he saw a lot of gold and silver jewelry.
Seeing this expression, Xiao Che was stunned for a moment, and then an uneasy feeling instantly surged into his heart.
"Wha—" A red shadow as fast as lightning suddenly appeared.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Xiao Che was kicked out and his body flew up high. It was not until he fell freely in the air that Xiao Che realized that this rabbit was really not a good person, and he was actually stupid.
Thinking about making peace.
Before Xiao Che landed, a red light appeared in front of him again. This time, Xiao Che just saw a pair of greedy dark blue eyes. He had no time to react and was kicked out again.
