"Everyone, rest early tonight. We will continue our cultivation tomorrow." Oh yeah, Xinghe, when you head to unforested forest tomorrow, you must come back to gather some medicinal herbs. Tomorrow morning, I will give you the diagram of the medicinal herbs that you need. "
Jia Lieyu thought that Lu Qiluo would still allow Nie Xinghe to continue cultivating in the unforested forest, and added on: "Never forget, you cannot enter any further into the unforested forest. The thousand year old spirit beast inside is not something you can handle right now."
Hearing "Training"
With these two words, Cui Chengyu and Xu Dazhuang's reactions were one sad, the other happy.
"Master Lu, have I always been training here?"
Although Nie Xinghe had gotten a lot of combat experience from the spirit beasts, his strength had not increased because of that.
Lu Qiluo pondered for a moment, then said: "You are the first student that I have ever taught to use the light-attribute pulse, so I still need time to properly formulate your cultivation plan. In order to increase my combat ability, the best way is to learn from the spirit beasts. If I have good luck, I can get one or two useful animal core or something like that. At least this is how I came here! "
"Then when can I start my combat training?"
In these past few days, Xu Dazhuang had been improving his own strength. He had overdrawn his Qi channels multiple times every day, which caused him to look much thinner than before. His body also became stronger.
Lu Qiluo exhaled a breath of air filled with alcohol, and said: "We'll start once you break through that piece of metal."
Seeing Xu Dazhuang's look of anticipation, Lu Qiluo continued: "I hope that you will still have that kind of expression when the time comes. That person's training methods, ordinary people wouldn't be able to take it."
"Master Lu, aren't you supposed to train me?"
Xu Dazhuang asked.
"In the tournament, every team has at least two Sculptus Atractylodes s, so your current speed is far from enough, so this is only the first stage of the training. When all of you have broken through, I will assign you one by one to the appropriate trainers. "So you guys should enjoy this time. The second stage begins with the devilish training."
Everyone was startled, and even the cultivation madman Xu Dazhuang's expression became gloomy.
His current training method was extremely difficult, if not for Leng Muxue's pills, his body would have collapsed long ago. But from Lu Qiluo's words, it was still a light time.
The full moon peeked out of the dark clouds, and the pale moonlight shone through the half-open window. The summer night was as hot as day, and mosquitoes hovered on the beams of the houses, not daring to approach their prey.
Cui Chengyu was already fast asleep.
With his upper body naked, Xu Dazhuang kicked the blanket that was covering his feet under the bed.
Jin Lin slept soundly in peace.
Nie Xinghe placed both of his hands behind his head as he pondered about how to deal with tomorrow's mission — — Herba Corydalis s.
The Herba Corydalis was a type of snake type spirit beast and had the ability to change its color. It could completely integrate its huge body into various environments and swallow the enemy in one gulp without them noticing.
Herba Corydalis s were weaker than other snakes, and most of them relied on their attacks and soft bodies to wrap around their enemies and kill them.
A Herba Corydalis with 500 years of cultivation was only about six meters long. Every 100 years of growth in cultivation could cause its body to elongate by one meter.
Herba Corydalis often resided on trees, so it was difficult to see its figure with the naked eye, which was known as the most outstanding camouflage user.
Nie Xinghe had interacted with Herba Corydalis before, Herba Corydalis s had a lot of medicinal value, but were extremely difficult to kill.
Herba Corydalis did not eat corpses or rotten meat, nor did they eat prey that could not move, so bait was basically useless.
"Dang!" Clang! "Dang!"
The gong sounded as usual, and Cui Chengyu only had to roll once before falling off the bed.
Nie Xinghe folded the herb encyclopedia that Jia Lieyu gave him and carefully put it inside his clothes.
After running fifty laps in the morning, although Nie Xinghe was sweating profusely, his breathing was calm.
"Seems like I've already adapted to the strength of fifty laps."
Jia Lieyu muttered.
The distance from the Wan Dao Academy to the outskirts of the unforested forest was only a dozen or so kilometers. As if he was stepping on the wind, Nie Xinghe headed towards the deep forest.
Ahead appeared several men on horseback, their coats and coats draped over their shoulders.
Nie Xinghe walked past them, and a few of them looked at each other, but because Nie Xinghe's speed was too fast just now, no one could clearly see his appearance.
"Boss, just now, someone ran over."
"Nonsense!" I'm not blind, I see! It's not a big deal, our job is just to find traces of repellent beast anyway. "
"I know, Boss, it's just that I don't understand, why was we the ones who found the repellent beast, and let the Headhunter Clan take advantage of it? That group of people from the Beast Hunting Department have always picked up rewards for nothing. Last time, if we were the ones fighting with the repellent beast from Nu Huai River, we might have taken care of them a long time ago. I heard that their Beast Hunting Department had lost a large group of people, and from what I see, they are just a bunch of people who did not learn anything. Why don't we try our own game? If we can kill one repellent beast, the owner might let us all enter the Beast Hunting Department, so we wouldn't have to go out every day to look for mutated beasts.
"Do you really think repellent beast are so easy to deal with? Battle scum like you all, your legs went soft the moment you saw the repellent beast, and you still want to kill it? "
The man who was called "Boss" had a face of disdain. He used his strength to squeeze his legs and urged the white horse to continue moving forward.
Just as Nie Xinghe approached the outskirts of unforested forest, he stopped in his tracks. He saw a deep pit on the ground, the last time he left it was not there, but when Nie Xinghe got closer, he could smell a faint stench that seemed to be from a corrosive substance.
There were a few long black objects in the deep pit, which Nie Xinghe vaguely felt was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before, but he was unable to remember where he had seen them.
Looking forward along the deep pit, there was a huge drag mark, and the trace disappeared at the periphery of unforested forest.
Nie Xinghe was puzzled, could it be that this was related to the group of people he saw just now?
After thinking about it for a while, Nie Xinghe suddenly remembered that the Thunder Calf was fighting with other spirit beasts and he could clearly see the blue lightning on the other side of the wall. No matter what kind of spirit beast the other one was, it would not be a simple opponent to make the Thunder Calf use lightning.
Nie Xinghe thought back to what Lu Qiluo had said yesterday. Before he went to search for the Herba Corydalis, why not take a look?
He might even be able to pick up a loophole, and the group of people he saw earlier might be thinking the same thing as him.
After entering the unforested forest, due to the lush forest, it was difficult to determine one's direction. Nie Xinghe searched everywhere according to his own memories, but was unable to find the place.
The unforested forest was like a maze, the trees here and there looked exactly the same.
