Fan Le's cultivation base was at the 1st level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, while Qin Wentian was at the 9th level of the Body Refinement Realm. As long as they didn't venture too deep into the Dark Forest, they wouldn't encounter any danger easily.
Hence, Qin Wentian and Fan Le passed their days leisurely.
"Qin Wentian, you've already started to break through to the Arterial Circulation Realm. What kind of Astral Soul do you want for your 2nd Astral Soul?" Fan Le asked Qin Wentian as they walked through the forest.
Fan Le was filled with anticipation for Qin Wentian to condense his 2nd Astral Soul. Since his 1st Astral Soul was already condensed from an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer, there was no doubt that his 2nd Astral Soul would be condensed from the 3rd Heavenly Layer. The tyrannical Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul had bestowed upon Qin Wentian.
"I haven't decided yet. Above the 9 Astral Rivers, there are countless constellations. This time around, I have to choose wisely." Qin Wentian smiled. He was also filled with anticipation for his 2nd Astral Soul.
"You pervert." Fan Le cursed in a low voice. "Many people's consciousness can't even remain in the 1st Heavenly Layer for too long. They can only condense an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer."
"However, although you are a pervert, there's still a gap between you and me." Fan Le replied with a straight face.
Qin Wentian was already used to Fan Le's shameless boasting. His lips curled up in a disdainful smile, as though he was intentionally angering Fan Le.
"There's someone fighting." The two of them suddenly spoke at the same time. After which, they sprinted forward with swift steps as though they were flying. Little Rascal who was hiding in the grass followed closely behind them.
Not far away from Qin Wentian, Liu Yan was filled with despair. She had never thought that she would encounter a 4th-level demonic beast, the Green-Scaled Python. In front of her, the python coiled around her friend, Zhuo Fan, and swallowed him whole. The cruelty of the scene caused her legs to go soft.
"Liu Yan, run!" Not far away, Liu Yue roared in rage when he saw Liu Yan standing there in a daze. However, Liu Yan was only sixteen years old after all. Such a scene caused her heart to crumble. Her body trembled in fear as she stared at the python, staring at her in a daze.
The python stopped in front of Liu Yan, looking down at her. At this moment, Liu Yan's mind was in a complete mess, to the point that she didn't even hear the whistling sound of the wind.
"Evil creature." Qin Wentian was like an arrow released from a bow as he pounced towards the head of the python. The third style of the Dragon-subduing Fists, Nine Heavens Dragon Roar, was blasted out, and a strong gust of wind was generated. The python turned its cold eyes towards Qin Wentian and opened its bloody mouth wide, biting towards Qin Wentian.
"Bang!" Like a landslide, a tyrannical force shook the python's head, causing its huge head to bounce back, while its huge tail swept across the void.
"Go!" Qin Wentian shouted to Liu Yan, who was below him. He grabbed the python's tail, and his entire body was flung out of the way. At the same time, the whistling sound of an arrow whistling through the air was heard, aiming straight for the eyes of the python.
Only now did Liu Yan react. She turned and fled, while Qin Wentian's body was slammed into a huge tree. His entire body was in pain, but luckily, his physique was extremely strong, and he didn't suffer any serious injuries.
A terrifying roar pierced the eardrums of those who heard it. The python had suffered an attack from Qin Wentian, and had its eyes pierced by Qin Wentian's tracking arrow. It actually turned and fled, and didn't enter a state of rage. Evidently, it could still think.
"How painful." Qin Wentian didn't chase after it. He glanced at Fan Le, "Fatty, not bad."
"Hehe." Fatty grinned as he walked over. His second Astral Soul, the Ghost Mask Astral Soul, bestowed upon him the power of will. He was able to slightly change the direction of his arrows, and could easily see through the cultivation base of others. Although this type of Astral Soul couldn't directly bestow a powerful attack or defense, it was classified as a control-type Astral Soul, and had an extremely high potential for growth.
After all, currently, Fatty could only use this power on his arrows. Not only that, he could only change the direction of his arrows at the most crucial moment. But in the future, when his will grew stronger, he would be able to directly control swords and objects.
"Are you alright?" Qin Wentian walked towards Liu Yan, as he stretched out his hands towards her.
After the python had escaped, Liu Yan was completely drained of all her strength. She sat weakly on the ground, but when she saw the smile on the young man's face, a smile also appeared on her face. Stretching out her hands, she grasped Qin Wentian's palm and stood up.
"Thank you." Liu Yan had been in despair earlier, but Qin Wentian had pulled her back from the brink of death.
"Don't worry about it, just be careful in the future." Qin Wentian smiled.
"Mhm." Liu Yan smiled and nodded her head. But when she thought of Zhuo Fan's death, an expression of sorrow appeared on her face.
Above the forest, a black raven, attracted by the battle earlier, let out a caw, adding a sense of desolation to the atmosphere.
"Black raven?" Fan Le abruptly raised his head, and his eyes narrowed as he stared at the black raven circling in the air. After which, he murmured, "What a lingering spirit."
Qin Wentian's brows twitched as he raised his head. He immediately understood what had happened. He had not forgotten the lesson he had learned from the demonic wolves. Orfon's friend was able to tame demonic beasts.
"Liu Yan, don't tell anyone that we're acquainted." Qin Wentian spoke to Liu Yan. After which, he exchanged a glance with Fan Le, and the two of them turned and sprinted towards the depths of the Dark Forest.
This scene caused Liu Yan to be stunned. She wanted to chase after them, but at the same time, a raging wind kicked up, causing the leaves on the trees to rustle. From afar, a few flying beasts swooped over, and very quickly, they flew past her head. There were actually human silhouettes on top of the flying beasts.
Upon seeing this scene, Liu Yue instantly pulled Liu Yan back, "Don't chase after them, they've met with a powerful opponent."
"Brother." Liu Yan looked at Liu Yue, only to hear him continuing, "This Qin Wentian was willing to endure the attack of the Green-Scaled Python to save you. It seems like he likes you a little. However, these people riding on flying beasts are obviously more powerful. Remember what Qin Wentian said earlier, we don't know him."
As the sound of his voice faded, the silhouette of a young man riding on a 3rd-level black hawk returned. This person was none other than Ye Zhan.
Ye Zhan had a smile on his face as he dismounted and walked towards Liu Yan and Liu Yue. "I'm Ye Zhan, a student from the Royal Academy. How about you two?"
"My name is Liu Yue, and this is my younger sister, Liu Yan." Liu Yue carefully replied. Ye Zhan's smile was gentle, but he didn't dare to be careless.
"That person earlier is named Qin Wentian, a student from the Emperor Star Academy. However, I'm afraid that he won't be able to walk out of the Dark Forest alive. How long have you known him?" Ye Zhan casually asked.
"Not too long ago." Seeing the smile on Ye Zhan's face, Liu Yue didn't dare to lie.
"Don't be so nervous, we're only targeting him. We have no ill intentions towards you." Ye Zhan smiled. Only then did Liu Yue heave a sigh of relief, while Liu Yan started to worry about Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian and Fan Le were madly sprinting, but the speed of the flying beasts was too fast. The distance between them was gradually shortened.
"Little Rascal, transform!" Qin Wentian roared. Momentarily, a white silhouette expanded in size, instantly appearing in front of Qin Wentian and Fan Le. The two of them directly leapt onto the silhouette, squeezing together.
"Sit tight, how are their cultivation bases?" Qin Wentian asked Fan Le.
"Three of them. Orfon and the beast tamer are still manageable, but the last one is extremely difficult to deal with. I can't see through his cultivation base with my spiritual sense. I'm afraid that he's at least at the 3rd level of Arterial Circulation." Fan Le's back was facing Qin Wentian. His legs clamped onto Little Rascal's body as a bow appeared in his hands. In an instant, three arrows pierced through the air.
However, the speed at which the black hawk dodged was too fast, causing the arrows to deviate from their original trajectories. In addition to the terrifying speed of the black silhouette, Fan Le's spiritual sense couldn't control the arrows to catch up to it.
"How troublesome." Fan Le stated in a depressed tone, "Luckily this little rascal's speed is fast enough. If it wasn't for the two of us, he wouldn't even need to transform, and would be able to easily shake off the pursuit of the black hawk."
"But this isn't a solution. Let's prepare for battle and kill the beast tamer. If we do that, they won't be able to control the black hawk anymore." Qin Wentian suggested.
"Right, let's wait for an opportunity." The two of them started to discuss. Fan Le didn't waste his Astral Energy as he continued shooting arrows. They continued to advance deeper into the Dark Forest.
Huayun was somewhat depressed. He didn't expect that it would be so tiring to chase after the two of them. Not only that, the white dog was running all over the place. Right now, he didn't even know where they were. There was a possibility that powerful demonic beasts would appear at any moment.
In front of them, the forest was no longer there. Instead, it was a vast open space. Ahead of them, there seemed to be a misty mountain valley.
"It's the Fantasy City." Huayun's eyes narrowed as he stared at the misty mountain valley. They had actually arrived at the boundary of the Fantasy City within the Dark Forest.
Qin Wentian and the rest also halted. Ahead of them, within the misty mountain valley, a city could be seen flickering in and out of existence, appearing illusory and illusory.
"They seem to be extremely fearful of this place." Fatty narrowed his eyes as he stared at the three pursuers. This time around, Qin Wentian wouldn't be able to escape even if he grew wings.
The two of them dismounted from Little Rascal's back. Little Rascal's body shrank back to its original size.
Qin Wentian and Fan Le exchanged a glance. Their minds were connected, and after which, Fan Le instantly drew his bow. Nine Astral Arrows pierced through the air, whistling through the air as they shot towards Mu Ye.
"Little Rascal!" Qin Wentian roared. Little Rascal directly leapt into Qin Wentian's hands, and after which, Qin Wentian abruptly flung Little Rascal towards Mu Ye.
Mu Ye's countenance stiffened when he saw the nine arrows shooting towards him. The space in front of him had been sealed. Gathering his strength, Mu Ye abruptly slammed his palms against the incoming arrows, using brute force to break them apart.
At the same instant, a snowy puppy appeared in front of him. Its body abruptly expanded in size as it swiped its sharp claws at Mu Ye's head.
Mu Ye's countenance drastically changed as he controlled the black hawk to fly upwards. However, Little Rascal's sharp claws directly slammed into the black hawk's head, causing it to plummet downwards. Mu Ye also lost his balance as he plummeted downwards.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. It was too fast. Earlier, the nine arrows were merely used to control Mu Ye, causing him to fall into a dire situation.
At the boundary of the mist, Fatty's arrow was aimed straight at him as he grinned!
