Han Zhen and others had been fighting for so long, and their spiritual energy had long been exhausted.
If they stay any longer, they will not be able to withstand the erosion of the acid mist.
So Han Zhen took the wounded up first, leaving some people to clean up the battlefield, while Qingwu chased in the direction Ling Xuewei left.
Along the way, Qingwu saw the corpses of many ferocious beasts.
Through the sword marks, Qingwu could tell that it was Ling Xuewei who did it.
The trace moved forward until it stopped in front of a cliff. Qingwu landed on the cliff and saw faint spiritual light and sword energy flashing below, accompanied by the faint roar of beasts.
He flew down the cliff with his sword, and soon saw Ling Xuewei fighting with a group of howling wolves. The bodies of countless beasts were piled up around her. The stream was dyed light red with blood. She stood in the air, controlling the black
Blade, constantly harvesting the lives of ferocious beasts.
Wherever the black blade passed, it left a bloody mark on the neck of Howling Sirius, killing him with one blow.
A monk's sword control depends on his mind. When the man and sword become one, like an arm and a finger, that is the state of true perfection.
After Ling Xuewei obtained the black blade, she also knew that the black blade was actually a demon sword. To put it bluntly, it was unruly and stubborn.
Even three years ago, Ling Xuewei could not really control it. Now, after her nirvana and rebirth, she faintly feels that her connection with the black blade is deeper.
As everyone knows, due to rebirth, most of the power of the Pure Lotus Glass Fire has been restored, and the divine fire has a purifying effect. While Ling Xuewei was sleeping, it had been purifying the evil spirit in the black blade. In addition, after she woke up, she had been practicing diligently.
Swordsmanship has made great progress now.
The control of the black blade can almost reach the point where "the man and the sword become one". With just a thought, the black blade can be controlled like an arm, and the position where it lands is exactly the same.
Qingwu quickly went down to help, and after a while, the last Howling Sirius also fell.
"Son."
"Here you come? How are you doing there?"
Ling Xuewei's expression remained normal and her breathing was steady.
These are all small heads. Except for a few low-star beasts that are a bit tricky, the others are not very powerful. It just takes some time to eliminate them.
"The remaining beast herds have been wiped out."
"Okay, let's go back."
At this time, Ling Xuewei suddenly saw a faint light flickering in the middle of the stream.
"What?"
Ling Xuewei looked carefully and realized that they were actually fish scale-like things.
Could it be that it fell from those ferocious beasts just now?
She didn't care and was about to leave when suddenly Bai Ze in the small world said, "Come closer and have a look!"
"What's wrong?"
"Do as I say!"
Bai Ze's voice was inexplicably a little excited.
Although Ling Xuewei was a little confused, she still walked over.
She picked up the scales on the edge of the stream. The tentacles of the scales were cold and hard, and they looked like they belonged to some kind of fish creature.
But this thing was very common, and she didn't know why Bai Ze asked her to come over to check it out.
"Did you see anything?"
Bai Ze was confused, "...Is it strange?"
"What's weird?"
"I just clearly sensed a strange wave. Why did it disappear when I got closer?"
"What strange fluctuation?"
"I detected a special substance, so I asked you to come and take a look..."
"Special substance?"
"Materials needed for advancement in the small world."
"real?"
Ling Xuewei's Coke is broken, she didn't expect to get something unexpected when she went out!
"What about the result? Is it really true?"
"The strange thing is that the fluctuation disappears as soon as you get closer."
Bai Ze was also very confused.
"Ah?" Ling Xuewei looked at the scales in her hand with disappointment, and soon discovered that it didn't seem to be the glowing thing?
"Sir, do you see this?" Qingwu came over at this moment, holding a bead in his hand, which was emitting light.
"That's it!" Bai Ze said excitedly.
"So this is it? Where did you find it, Qingwu?"
"Under the stone."
It turned out that the light just now was actually emitted from the bead, but it was surrounded by scales, so she misunderstood.
"This looks... like the spiritual core of some kind of spiritual beast?"
Ling Xuewei was thoughtful.
"It should be the mercury snake's spiritual core."
"Do you know him?" Ling Xuewei asked Qingwu.
Qingwu nodded, "I saw him in the waters of Lingbei a year ago."
Now that you’ve found it, it’s easy to handle!
"Bai Ze, are you sure this is it?"
"Further verification is needed."
So, Ling Xuewei put away the spirit core first. At this time, she heard a beast roar from a distance. It seemed that the bloody smell here attracted some spirit beasts.
"Get out of here first."
Soon the two of them left here with their swords and returned to the military base.
Outside the base, corpses littered the ground, the acid fog was no longer so thick, and the storm finally passed.
The base was intact, but because of the thick acid mist outside, it was very difficult to clean up the bodies. As a last resort, Han Zhen could only ask everyone to retreat and wait for everyone to recuperate before cleaning up.
After all, the strong bloody smell might attract more ferocious beasts, but they couldn't care too much at the moment.
"Sir, are you back?"
"grown ups!"
…
Seeing the two people returning safely, Han Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and reported the current situation.
"How are the casualties?"
"Counting in progress."
Soon, the number of people was counted.
Ling Xuewei looked at the numbers presented and quickly walked towards the wounded camp. She opened the curtain and entered. There were hundreds of wounded people lying in the camp. It was noisy. Military doctors hurriedly shuttled back and forth among the wounded without any time left.
"Inspector."
"grown ups."
"Son."
…
The soldiers below did not know Ling Xuewei's identity. Seeing that the generals called her "Young Master," they followed suit.
"Sixty-seven people died, nearly 400 were injured, and more than 4,000 beast pills were confiscated..."
"Where's the wound medicine? Have you given it out?"
"They have all been distributed. Currently, the army has 300 bottles of Hemostatic Pills, 200 bottles of Nourishing Pills, and 70 bottles of Bone-Restoring Pills in stock. Because it is the end of the month, the above supplies have not arrived yet, so..."
The current inventory is only enough to supply the wounded for one day, and the captain is quite worried.
I didn’t expect that the acid mist was so powerful! Most of the soldiers were injured by corrosion!
At this time, an old military doctor hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The soldiers' wounds are poisonous. I guess it's because of the acid mist. Although our wound medicine can stop bleeding, if we don't know the ingredients of this poison, the wounds will only continue to worsen."
, there will be no way to save it by then..."
"poison?"
"Is this acid mist poisonous?"
The captain didn't know that the acid mist was poisonous, but Han Zhen and others knew it.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Han Zhen quickly comforted him.
When the captain saw that there was no panic on the faces of Han Zhen and others, he also calmed down, guessing that Han Zhen must have a back-up plan.
"Give these to them."
Ling Xuewei took out a hundred bottles of antidote pills, and Han Zhen took them and immediately had people distribute them.
The military doctor looked confused, "Antitoxic Pill?"
Han Zhen waved his hand and said, "These can temporarily suppress the poisonous gas in the body. You need to let the injured soldiers take it first."
