After breakfast, Jianchen and Tie Ta continued on their journey with their weapons in hand. However, a petite figure followed closely behind them. It was Liang Xiaole. Liang Xiaole was empty-handed as she stared around cautiously. She had lost her weapon when she fled the previous day.
Tie Ta carried his axe. He had already changed his clothes. They were made from a piece of Azure Wolf hide that had been sewn together with grass roots. His original uniform had become tattered after the battle with the Azure Wolf the previous night.
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed. Although Jianchen and Tie Ta's harvest was not as good as the first day, it was still quite good. They had killed over seventy magical beasts in total, which made Liang Xiaole extremely envious.
Liang Xiaole had changed a lot during the day. She had become much tougher after the attack from the Azure Wolf the previous night. At the very least, she no longer cried out in fear when she saw magical beasts. Moreover, as the magical beasts died one after another at the hands of Jianchen and Tie Ta, Liang Xiaole had developed a certain level of immunity to the bloody scene. She gradually adapted to it.
Moreover, she had actually learned quite a lot from Jianchen and Tie Ta about surviving in the forest, as well as her ability to predict danger. Her talent and ability to learn amazed Jianchen. Jianchen had already guessed that if Liang Xiaole maintained this state, her future achievements would definitely not be too low. Of course, the most important factor was her talent in cultivation. After all, on the Tian Yuan Continent, where the strong reigned supreme, one's own strength was the ruler of everything.
Liang Xiaole was extremely smart. Although she did not do much during the day, she did not cause any trouble for Jianchen and Tie Ta. She also did not become a burden to them like Jianchen and Tie Ta had imagined. Whenever the two of them fought against magical beasts, she would always watch from afar.
After a day, both Jianchen and Tie Ta had a whole new level of respect for Liang Xiaole. They no longer looked down on her like before.
In the evening, Jianchen and the other two sat by the fire, roasting a large piece of magical beast meat.
"Seniors, have you really not condensed a Saint Weapon and become a Saint?" Liang Xiaole stared at Jianchen and Tie Ta with her bright eyes and asked curiously. After a day of running around, Liang Xiaole's clothes had a few holes. These were all scratched by the thorns and branches in the forest. Her small face had completely become a dirty little cat. In this forest without water, they had to rely on the blood of magical beasts to quench their thirst. Liang Xiaole had no way to wash the dirt off her face..
"If we had a Saint Weapon, why would we use this broken Axe?" Tie Ta looked at the Axe that had curled up and had many nicks on it and complained.
After continuously being chopped by Tie Ta's abnormal strength, even the Axe was a little unable to withstand the extreme. The Axe was no longer as sharp as before. Even the originally sharp tip of Jianchen's rusty iron rod was almost worn flat.
Liang Xiaole looked at Tie Ta and Jianchen with a face full of admiration. "You two are really amazing. You can kill a first rank magical beast so easily before becoming a Saint. In my opinion, when you two become Saints, you will probably be able to fight a second rank magical beast alone."
Jianchen disagreed and said, "How could it be that easy? These magical beasts were all raised by the academy. They belong to the category of magical beasts that do not have any offensive abilities. That's why it was so easy for us to kill them. Once we encounter magical beasts with strong offensive abilities, it will be very difficult for us to kill them."
Hearing this, Liang Xiaole nodded seriously and said, "That's right. I've heard my father say before that some of the more powerful first rank magical beasts can already spit out low level magic. Their destructive power is very strong. Some ordinary Saints are not their opponents."
Jianchen looked at Tie Ta who was staring blankly at the dancing flames and said, "Tie Ta, the second area is no longer a challenge to us. I want to go to the third area tomorrow. What are your plans?"
Tie Ta thought for a moment when he heard that. "That's right. I can already easily deal with the magical beasts in the second area. They are indeed no challenge to us. Alright, Changyang Shōten, I'll go to the third area with you and see just how powerful the second rank magical beasts there are."
Hearing their conversation, Liang Xiaole's expression changed slightly, "No way, the two of you haven't even reached the Saint Realm, yet you want to hunt Class 2 Magical Beasts in the third region? Although the two of you are very strong, Class 2 Magical Beasts are much more powerful than Class 1 Magical Beasts. Without a Saint Weapon, you might not be able to deal with them. Moreover, the fur of Class 2 Magical Beasts is much thicker than that of Class 1 Magical Beasts and their defense is very strong. With your broken axe and rusty iron rod, it would be very difficult to injure them, let alone kill them. Moreover, I heard that the environment in the third region is much worse than here. There are poisonous insects and snakes everywhere, and there are also swamps. The slightest carelessness will cause you to lose your life. It is very dangerous, so I don't recommend you to go to the third region."
Tie Ta looked at his and Jianchen's weapons when he heard that. He said bitterly, "Yeah, Changyang Shōten, after two days of fighting, my axe is no longer as sharp as before. Even your weapon has become blunt. It'll probably be very difficult to kill second rank magical beasts."
Jianchen smiled and said, "There's no rush. I think there are still quite a few students in the second area. The reason why we haven't met them yet is because we've already left them far behind. We'll head back tomorrow and use our monster cores to trade for weapons. I'm sure they'll be very happy."
"Yeah, that's a good idea." Tie Ta nodded in agreement.
Jianchen continued, "Liang Xiaole, let's split up tomorrow. You should be able to make it through the last day safely with the other students. After all, those who can last two days here all have some real ability."
Liang Xiaole nodded and said nothing. She was clearly rather dejected right now. After all, she knew how dangerous the third area was. It was still very difficult to say whether Jianchen and Tie Ta could deal with the magical beasts. If she insisted on following them, Jianchen and Tie Ta would not agree to it. Even if she really did follow them, she would only become a burden for them to retreat.
The night passed very quickly without any incident. When the sky had just turned gray, Jianchen and Tie Ta finished cultivating for the night and began to prepare breakfast.
Only after the three of them had breakfast did the sun slowly rise from the horizon. Afterward, Jianchen and the other two continued on their journey. However, they headed back this time.
After two days of battle, the two of them had become much more vigilant against danger, so they returned extremely quickly.
Under a large tree, nine students in tattered clothes were sitting powerlessly, panting heavily. They were a combination of commoners and nobles, but at this moment, all nine of them were in tattered clothes, with many dried bloodstains on them, and all of them were wounded. Not far from them, there was a corpse of a magical beast lying on the ground.
"Everyone, hold on. This is already the last day. After today, we'll be able to leave," a commoner student said as he panted slightly.
"It's a pity that we don't have enough magic cores. We're still missing five. It seems that we still need to hunt five more magical beasts," said a young man who was born in a noble family. Originally, these aristocratic children disdained to stay with these commoner students, but after they saw those ferocious magical beasts, they were all scared out of their wits. At this critical moment of life and death, who would care about the issue of one's identity? Protecting one's own life was the most important thing. Therefore, those aristocratic children gradually walked together with the commoner students. After all, many people understood the principle of strength in numbers. Moreover, these commoner students might have grown up in a harsh environment, but when faced with those ferocious magical beasts, they actually didn't cower in the slightest. This made those aristocratic children who had always looked down on them look at them in a new light for the first time. Gradually, everyone gradually became friends.
Moreover, as they continued to fight with the magical beasts, the nine of them became more and more familiar with each other. In the end, they actually formed a rare contract, which caused the nine of them to become more and more harmonious.
At this moment, a trace of movement suddenly came from the weeds in the distance.
"Everyone be careful, there's a magical beast attack." A person who reacted quickly immediately shouted. Immediately, the nine of them stood up from the ground and vigilantly stared at the direction of the strange movement.
As the weeds swayed more and more violently, finally, a burly man dressed in animal skin appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Just as the burly man in animal skin appeared in front of everyone's eyes, two more figures walked out from behind him. Although their clothes were tattered, they still wore the uniform of Kargath Academy.
Perhaps because they had been shuttling through the weeds for a long time, the three people's faces were all black. There were still some broken pieces of grass on their heads. Only their facial features could be seen. Their appearance was already very unrecognizable.
Seeing that it was humans and not magical beasts that appeared in front of them, the nine students immediately let out a sigh of relief. Then, a trace of a happy smile appeared on their faces. At a time like this, if a few more people could join them, it would directly increase their overall strength. It would also be much easier to hunt magical beasts. Moreover, they were not stupid. They all understood that the people who could survive until the third day were definitely not weak.
These three people were Jianchen, Tower, and Liang Xiaole. After rushing back for half a day, they finally discovered a group of people.
As it was already the last day of the three day period, there were not many people who continued to stay in the forest. Most people had already directly given up and left, so there were very few students who remained in the forest now.
At this moment, when Liang Xiaole's gaze landed on a beautiful girl in the group of nine, his face immediately revealed an expression of pleasant surprise.
"Ah, Lisa!" Liang Xiaole's face was filled with excitement. After letting out a cry of pleasant surprise, he immediately ran towards the beautiful girl as if he was flying.
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, the young girl blinked her big bright eyes. She suspiciously stared at Liang Xiaole who was dashing towards her. However, at this moment, Liang Xiaole's small face was blurry and looked like a little tabby cat. Even if this girl called Lisa was very familiar with her, it was still very difficult to recognize Liang Xiaole from her appearance.
Liang Xiaole rushed in front of the girl and opened his arms to hug her tightly with an excited expression. His voice was filled with joy: "Lisa, I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you had already left."
