The sword light was like lightning, the setting sun was like blood. The fierce battle between Wang Lu and the unknown monster had lasted for a long time. The sun had already set and the curtain of the night was about to fall.
Wang Lu was indeed worthy of being a Successor Disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect. His defense was flawless and his endurance was amazing. With only Winding Steps and Soft Cloud Sword, he was able to block the lightning fast little fox. At first, the little fox was still grimacing in excitement. However, after several hundred rounds of fierce battle, it became weak and its speed was getting slower and slower.
Seeing that his opponent was getting weaker and weaker, Wang Lu let out a long laugh and took a step forward to change from defense to offense. Although he had never learned any offensive martial arts, why would he need to use martial arts to deal with a tired little fox? He just needed to kick it in the head! It was super useful when dealing with the bear, hahaha!
However, just as he took a step forward, he was stopped by someone.
Wang Lu looked up and saw that it was Yue Yun, who was leading the team. This senior inner court disciple looked embarrassed. He hesitantly said, "This, Senior Brother Wang Lu, I think we should forgive people when possible."
Wang Lu was amused. "Just now, you said that this is an experiential learning, not a vacation, how come you've become so sentimental now? Although this little guy looks cute, it might actually be hiding a murderous intention. We must firmly overcome our pity for it and make our move when it's time. You must know that the Heaven and Earth are heartless and treat all living things as straw dogs … "
Yue Yun was really helpless and could only smile bitterly. The two Carefree Peak girls also wanted to say something but hesitated. A certain Black and White girl, who had always been at odds with Wang Lu, actually wanted to make it clear: You are indeed a heartless person. Facing a kind and pleasant pet fox, you can even ruthlessly fight it for a hundred rounds! You have no shame!
However, at this time, there were so many outsiders present, especially Yue Yun and Huo Ying, his two Senior Brothers and Sisters. If he rashly provoked a Successor Disciple, even if he could gain the upper hand for a moment, he would inevitably be called an idiot by the Disciplinary Elder … In the past two years, he and Wang Lu had countless fights, but they were all hidden in the dark. He had never openly disrespected Wang Lu!
So, endure! I must endure it! Even if his belly was about to burst from laughing too hard, and the risk of incontinence had skyrocketed … he still had to endure it!
The atmosphere on the field was as strange as it could be. In the face of Wang Lu's outstanding military exploits, no one could say anything. In the end, Yue Yun, who was a little older, took the lead and showed a bleak smile as if he was suffering from constipation. This could barely be considered as a celebration for Wang Lu.
"Hehe, Senior Brother, about that, everyone has their own specialization. Your achievements in the academic field are astonishing, which is already something to be proud of."
"Sigh, it's not easy to become a top student. Senior Brother, you've sacrificed so much for cultural studies … You're a model for quality education!"
Wang Lu chuckled. "You flatter me. It's just a small episode. It's not worth mentioning."
Yue Yun coughed and said, "Since … the risk has been eliminated, Junior Brothers and Sisters should seize the time to rest. From tomorrow onwards, the difficulty of our training will increase, so everyone must be prepared. "
— —
Early the next morning, Yue Yun and Huo Ying woke everyone up, and the group once again set foot on the road of experiential learning. The difficulty of the second day's experiential learning was a lot higher.
First, Yue Yun relentlessly accelerated his speed. Moreover, after entering the Full Moon Valley area, the mountain road was more tortuous and treacherous, which doubled the difficulty.
Second, the monsters in the Full Moon Valley began to gradually appear. Although the majority of them were non-threatening pets like the Full Moon Fox, there were also a lot of them. After weighing the pros and cons, Yue Yun decided that they needed to be careful to bypass them. The theme of the experiential learning was to lurk and survive, not to fight head-on. Moreover, after witnessing Wang Lu's peerless divine skill, Yue Yun, after careful consideration, decided that it would be better not to include actual combat in this experiential learning.
However, under such tortuous conditions, the experiential learning team still persisted! After the first day of the experiential learning, it was reasonable to say that everyone was exhausted, their muscles were sore, and their bones were soft. But in fact, for these young cultivators who had reached the Large Success Stage of Body Forging and were able to draw spiritual energy into their body, the experience of this day's tempering was just enough to stimulate their dormant potential, and their control of power was also more handy.
Even the stupidest Wen Bao, in the process of climbing the mountain, seemed to have become a bit more dexterous. As for Yue Xinyao, who had the Earthly Spirit Root, she had mastered the Swift Technique in practice. She easily enhanced herself and Junior Sister Wen Yin, allowing them to climb the mountain as if they were walking on flat ground.
As a result, Wang Lu, who was originally in an advantageous position, now had some difficulty keeping up. Although he had endless endurance and many years of mountaineering experience, in the end, he was only a second-level Body Refining Stage cultivator. The Winding Step was a top-notch combat footwork, but it couldn't really enhance a person's speed. Following behind a group of gradually enlightened Qi Cultivating Stage cultivators, naturally, the pressure was like a mountain.
Therefore, on the second night, when Yue Yun found a place to hide in the Full Moon Valley and prepared to rest, he was somewhat distressed.
According to the general itinerary, during this five-day experiential learning, their speed should be increasing day by day. From the entrance of the Small Clear Sky Peak to the Azure Dragon Gorge would take three days, but the return trip would only take two days. The last day was an all-out rapid march. Even he, a sixth-level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator, had to raise his spirit, not to mention other people, if they didn't use all their strength, they would definitely fall behind!
Then … according to Wang Lu's situation, let alone drinking milk, he couldn't keep up! After all, from the beginning, this experiential learning was not prepared for the children of the Body Refining Stage! If not for his identity as a Successor Disciple, Wang Lu simply wouldn't be qualified to join this team!
What should he do? If strictly according to the rules, it was natural to let Wang Lu fend for himself. In any case, the one who signed up for this experiential learning was him, so of course, the consequences should be borne by him.
But Yue Yun really didn't want to be so heartless. Even if there were many disputes between Wang Lu and him, they were still fellow disciples. If he could take care of him, then he would try to take care of him. This was also a test of his ability as a leader. If he handled it well, maybe he would get extra sect points when he returned …
While he was considering the pros and cons, he saw Wang Lu take the initiative to come over.
Yue Yun smiled. "Senior Brother Wang Lu, what advice do you have for me?"
Wang Lu said, "Little Yue, according to today's pace, I don't think I can keep up with the team."
Yue Yun quickly shook his head. "You flatter me, Senior Brother, you are too modest. Actually …"
Speaking up to here, he was stuck. Actually what? Actually, with your Second Stage Body Refining Stage, you really can't keep up …
Yue Yun was, after all, a kind and honest person. His ability to lie was still not good enough. In the end, he could only awkwardly giggle to cover it up.
Wang Lu didn't feel the slightest bit offended. "So I think, at this time, I should carry forward the spirit of the clumsy bird flying first."
Yue Yun was surprised. "Clumsy bird flying first?"
Wang Lu said, "That is, you guys rest here for now. I will set off ahead of time. After you guys set off tomorrow morning, you can catch up with me. We will meet at the entrance of the Azure Dragon Gorge. I can use a simple mathematical model to explain the details of the chase. Little Ming will set off from home at speed A, and after three hours, Little Gang will set off at speed B … "
Yue Yun was not in the mood to listen to Wang Lu's mathematical model. Immediately, he angrily said, "How can this be? Senior Brother, you are really indulging in fantasy! After we arrive at the Full Moon Valley, there will be dangers everywhere. Even I don't dare to walk alone. I must have Junior Sister Huo Ying's cooperation to ensure my safety. Senior Brother, if you go alone, you will simply die! "
Wang Lu explained, "No, no, Junior Brother, you think too much. I only put forward such a proposal because I have absolute confidence."
"Absolute confidence …? Please explain! "
Wang Lu then said, "It's like this. Just now, I borrowed Junior Sister Wen Yin's Nine Regions Monster Book, and then roughly read it. I have a general understanding of the monsters that I might encounter in the Full Moon Valley, so the rest of the journey will be very safe."
Yue Yun was speechless. 'Good, you're a top student, you're awesome. You're only in the Body Refining Stage but you already have a photographic memory. After reading the book, you can clearly remember all the monsters in the Clear Sky Peak … The problem is, what's the use of this!? Do you really think that knowledge is power!? '
Wang Lu spread out his hands. "Then what do you say? Do you want to carry me? "
If the rules allowed it, Yue Yun really wanted to carry him! The problem was, unless it was necessary, the Senior Brother absolutely could not provide any help!
"This, Yue Xinyao's Divine Walking Technique …"
Wang Lu waved his hand. "Forget it. Her magical power is so pitiful. She can only use it on herself and Wen Yin. If I help her, she might collapse."
Yue Yun could only smile wryly. Indeed, limited by their cultivation level, the Divine Walking Technique was simply not feasible. If it was feasible, then he wouldn't have to worry about it!
"That's why I'm going on the road ahead of time. I really don't know what you're so conflicted about."
"…" At this point, Yue Yun was indeed speechless, but he did not intend to give up his own idea. "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I still can't agree."
"Damn, did I just say those words in vain!?"
While the two were arguing, they suddenly heard Huo Ying's stern voice. "Everyone be careful! Something is approaching! "
Everyone was startled. They all stood up, some arranged arrays, and some cast spells. Although they were still in a panic, they had already begun to show some order. In just one day, they had made such progress, which was enough to make people feel gratified.
However, Yue Yun's complexion was dignified. He didn't say a word. The sword in his hand slightly trembled, showing its master's high tension.
In order to be on the safe side, Huo Ying deliberately wrapped the Cloud Silk around Yue Yun's finger. Therefore, when Huo Ying noticed the abnormality, Yue Yun also realized that the monster that was coming this time was not a small matter.
Most of the monsters in the Small Clear Sky Peak were not aggressive. Unless a cultivator mistakenly entered their core territory, they would not fight. Moreover, there were very few monsters that dared to take the initiative to find trouble with cultivators. However, this time, the monster that broke through the Cloud Silk was clearly prepared!
In the Full Moon Valley, there was such a strong aggressive monster. Yue Yun only knew one kind … And when he saw the branches and leaves of the distant woods tremble, and a small hazy green shadow suddenly flashed, he suddenly realized that his guess was right!
"Be careful, it's the Ghost Monkey!"
As soon as his voice fell, Huo Ying had already raised a golden dagger, and a sharp golden light burst out from the tip of the dagger, sweeping in all directions. The black shadow in the woods issued a sharp scream. The hazy green shadow that was used to cover its body twisted, and a hole was torn open, revealing its true appearance.
It was a dark green, bark-like skin, and a ghost-like monkey-like monster. Its two huge eyes revealed a deep-seated hatred and killing intent against living creatures. It was the Ghost Monkey that Yue Yun mentioned!
The Ghost Monkey of the Small Clear Sky Peak was born from absorbing the spiritual energy of the Wood Element and the resentment of the dead. It was one of the most dangerous monsters. Although it was small in size, it was good at witchcraft. Moreover, it could gather people and drive other monsters. Every time a Ghost Monkey was seen, it meant that it was already surrounded by at least four or five monsters!
In the past, more than seventy percent of the casualties in the Small Clear Sky Peak were related to the Ghost Monkey. Therefore, when they saw the Ghost Monkey, the two senior cultivators immediately went all out.
Huo Ying used the Five Elements Golden Sword to break the Ghost Monkey's Wood Element Escape Technique. Then, she used the Cloud Silk to quickly gather the invisible silk threads that were buried in the surroundings, tightly wrapping the exposed Ghost Monkey like a light blue cocoon.
"Go!"
Yue Yun immediately released his flying sword and hit the blue cocoon. When the sword light collided, it turned into a gust of wind, pushing the blue cocoon far away.
The Ghost Monkey was a category 2 fourth or fifth rank monster. Not only did it have a variety of body protection techniques, but its green skin was also as hard as iron and stone, so it was not easy to kill. In a moment of desperation, the two level six Qi Cultivating Stage cultivators couldn't instantly cast a thunderous spell, but they could use small spells to banish the Ghost Monkey from the battlefield.
After banishing the Ghost Monkey, Yue Yun and Huo Ying were slightly relieved. Just now, they used a set of combo attacks, which was the essence of their predecessors' experience. Once they encountered the Ghost Monkey, they must first banish it, and then deal with the puppets it commanded. Otherwise, if they kept a cunning and intelligent commander, the difficulty of the battle would increase exponentially!
However, this time, Yue Yun and the others' luck was really bad. Although the Ghost Monkey was banished, the puppets it commanded were still there! Moreover, this time, the strength of the puppets far exceeded their expectations!
After retrieving the remaining Flowing Cloud Silk, Huo Ying's face turned pale. "Two Stone Wood Apes … category 2 third rank, we are really lucky, Senior Brother Yue Yun!"
The strength of a category 2 third rank monster was already better than a level six Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator. Although Yue Yun and Huo Ying could make up for their lack of strength and their odds of winning were more than sixty to seventy percent, there were too many variables and the risk was unbearable!
Yue Yun said with a sinking voice, "Don't fight them … I will stop them here. You take your Junior Brothers and Sisters and retreat first. This experiential learning must be stopped."
Huo Ying didn't hesitate. "Take care, Senior Brother." Then she immediately turned around and called out to the others, "Everyone, use your Divine Walking Technique and follow me back! As long as we leave the end of the Full Moon Valley, there will be a spell to stop them! "
The several young cultivators didn't argue — in an emergency, they must strictly follow the instructions of their leader. If they spoke any more nonsense, their sect's points would be deducted by ten!
On the other side, Yue Yun, who was facing the two monsters, generously smiled. He took out two long swords from his back and inserted them into the ground.
"At this time, I really should be glad that I have the compound spirit root of metal and earth. At least in terms of defense, I still have some specialty …" Yue Yun smiled, reached out his hand, dipped a little bit from the medicine bottle on his waist, smeared it on his lips, and then forcefully blew on it.
The two Stone Wood Apes turned their heads at the same time and stared at Yue Yun. These giant apes had the earth and wood elements as their foundation, so they had extraordinary strength and tenacious vitality. However, their brains were relatively poor, so it was easy for them to be distracted. Just smeared with the meat powder was enough to make them treat him as a delicious meal.
The giant apes roared and rushed over, but when they were ten steps away, Yue Yun shouted loudly. Both of his hands grasped the long swords on the ground, and his magical power surged out!
The next moment, a circle of metal and stone walls rose from the ground, enveloping one person and two beasts!
While Yue Yun was dragging the two Stone Wood Apes, Huo Ying didn't hesitate to use her magical power to support everyone with the Swift Technique. For a moment, everyone felt that their bodies were as light as a swallow, and their legs were filled with incredible power.
"Don't waste the time that Senior Brother Yue Yun has bought for everyone. Follow me closely and don't fall behind."
Huo Ying said in a low voice, but she didn't dare to look at the metal and stone prison where the two Stone Wood Apes were imprisoned.
Although Senior Brother Yue Yun appeared calm and collected, he was only a level six Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator, facing two monsters at the same time … he must have risked his life. She hated that she had the Wind Spirit Root, so she wasn't good at defense.
At this time, the Cloud Thread in her hand suddenly shook! Huo Ying incredulously looked behind her. A huge figure slowly walked out from the woods. It had the head of an ox, the body of a lion, and the tail of a leopard. Its body was like a small elephant, and every step it took caused the ground to slightly tremble.
"Moongazer, Moongazer Roar …?"
At this moment, Huo Ying's mind went blank! This kind of rank two first rank monster was known as the most powerful vicious beast in the Azure Dragon Gorge. How could it appear here? It was impossible for a mere Ghost Monkey to control such a big guy!
What should she do now? The Moongazer Roar was a rank two first rank beast, even a level four Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator wouldn't dare to say that he had a high chance of winning against it … If it was a one on one fight, she could use her advantage in speed to fight it, but now there were five Junior Brothers and Sisters around her. Once she left, it would be equivalent to throwing the threat to them!
What should she do!?
While she was hesitating, she suddenly heard someone open his mouth.
"Huh? Another Moongazer Roar? Interesting, put it here, I want to fight it one on one! "
