"Get rid of these Black Spirit Birds first," the man said.
Linlong immediately sprinted to the right. After some effort, he managed to shake off the flock of Black Spirit Birds.
The scholarly young man and his companion followed closely behind him.
After stopping, Linlong hurriedly asked, "Brother, do you have any way to shake off these Black Spirit Birds?"
"These Black Spirit Birds are only following you through the scent of the Black Spirit Fruit. I happen to have a type of Realgar Stone here. You can keep it with you," the man said.
As he spoke, he tossed a yellow stone over. Linlong immediately caught it.
Linlong naturally had a way to cover up the scent. However, since the man said that the Realgar Stone was useful, he did not waste any more time.
He immediately kept the Realgar Stone with him.
As expected, the Black Spirit Birds did not appear again. Linlong could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He was afraid of being chased by these Black Spirit Birds.
Although he could charge forward with all his might with his strength, he would have to pay a huge price. If he was entangled by other Vicious Beasts, or if the woman in black happened to catch up to him, he would lose more than he gained.
"Thank you." Seeing that the Realgar Stone was really useful, Linlong could not help but express his gratitude.
"You're welcome. I actually helped you because I wanted you to do me a favor," the scholarly young man said with a smile.
"Oh, what kind of favor?" Linlong asked.
"I found a Purple Mountain Stone in a cave nearby. However, there was a powerful Level Four Vicious Beast guarding there. We were not its match, so we wanted to find someone to help. We happened to see you, so we wanted to ask for your help," the scholarly young man said.
"That's fine." Linlong nodded.
"That's great." The scholarly young man could not help but be overjoyed. "Let's go now!"
With that, he turned around and led Linlong to the back.
"How should I address you, little brother?" the scholarly young man asked as he walked.
"My name is Lin Long," Linlong said.
"My name is Feng Hao," the scholarly young man said. He then pointed to the woman beside him and said, "This is my sister, Feng Ting."
The woman named Feng Ting immediately smiled at Linlong. She seemed to not like to talk, so she did not say anything.
"My sister doesn't like to talk. Little brother, don't take it to heart," Feng Hao said.
"Of course." Linlong smiled.
"Little brother, you want to study runes in the School of Runes, right?" Feng Hao asked.
"Yes, that's right." Linlong nodded.
"That's really rare. You're so strong, but you're still able to put your mind on runes. That's really surprising," Feng Hao said again.
"It's not a bad thing to learn one more thing." Linlong smiled and then asked, "What about the two of you? Do you also want to enter the School of Runes?"
"We've already been in the Runes Institute for a few years. These two days, we went out for some business. When we came back, we just happened to find the Purple Jade Stone. That's why we decided to deal with the beast." Feng Hao said.
"You've been in the Faculty of Runes for a few years!" Linlong was naturally surprised by the other party's words.
"Haha, Brother Lin, if you have any problems in the future, you can look for me." Feng Hao laughed.
As he spoke, he pointed to a cave in front of them. "We're here. The Purple Mountain Stone is inside that cave."
Linlong immediately looked at the cave. With his powerful Divine Will, he could sense that there was a beast inside, and it didn't seem to be weak.
"There's a Mountain Pangolin inside. Its armor is really too thick. Otherwise, it would have been blown away by my rune bomb," Feng Hao said.
Linlong knew that the rune bomb was the thing that the woman in green had thrown at him in Lotus Town. He only found out about it after asking Green Lotus. There was no such thing in the Chaos Sky Continent.
This kind of thing used runes to imprison energy in a round ball. When encountering an enemy, one could directly activate the runes and throw them out.
Looking at the small cave, Linlong asked, "Can we lure it out?"
"We can't." Feng Hao shook his head. "This Mountain Pangolin is very clever. It knows that the Purple Jade Stone inside will most likely be taken away if it is lured out, so it won't come out no matter what."
"In that case, Miss Feng and I will kill our way in," Linlong said.
He could kill this Mountain Pangolin alone, but he didn't want to expose his strength. It was better to keep a low profile at all times.
"Okay." Feng Hao nodded. Then, he looked at Feng Ting and said, "Sister, you go in with him. Big brother will hold the line for you."
"Okay." Feng Ting nodded.
Immediately, the three of them walked towards the cave. Once they were outside the cave, the low roar of the Mountain Pangolin came from inside.
At this time, Linlong could clearly see that there were traces of a rune bomb inside the cave. It was obvious that Feng Hao didn't lie to him. Just now, he had used a rune bomb to deal with the Mountain Pangolin inside.
Then, Linlong and Feng Ting carefully walked in. The cave was narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. It could only accommodate three people on the outside, but five or six people could pass through at the same time.
After walking a few feet, Linlong saw a Mountain Pangolin standing inside. This Mountain Pangolin was the size of a calf and was wrapped in thick armor.
"Brother Lin, this Mountain Pangolin's weakness is its abdomen and eyes. It's just that it's difficult for us to attack its abdomen, so we can only attack its eyes," Feng Ting said beside Linlong.
"Yes." Linlong nodded.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly attacked the Mountain Pangolin in front of him with his sword. The direction of his attack was naturally the Mountain Pangolin's eyes.
How could the Mountain Pangolin's eyes be so easily hit? When it saw Linlong's sword attack, it tilted its head and slammed into Linlong.
Linlong's figure flashed and he quickly dodged to the side. It was not comfortable to be hit by the Mountain Pangolin.
Feng Ting, who was at the side, seized the opportunity to stab at the Mountain Pangolin's eyes.
Who would have thought that the Mountain Pangolin's tail would sweep towards Feng Ting?
Feng Ting could only dodge backward. Just as Feng Ting dodged, Linlong had already attacked the Mountain Pangolin.
Just like that, two people and one beast fought fiercely in the narrow space. The Mountain Pangolin was ferocious, but its movement technique was not very good. It was unable to hurt Linlong and Feng Ting at all.
After a dozen moves, Linlong, who relied on the exquisite Profound Wind Sword Technique, stabbed one of the Mountain Pangolin's eyes.
After eating this sword, the Mountain Pangolin immediately rolled in the air in pain. Then, it charged towards Feng Ting without any care.
Feng Ting's back happened to be against the cave wall. For a moment, she did not know where to dodge.
At this critical moment, Linlong's sword stabbed the Mountain Pangolin's other eye.
After this attack, the Mountain Pangolin lost its strength and fell from the sky. Linlong took this opportunity to slash at its stomach.
Even though the Mountain Pangolin could feel it, it could not block Linlong's sword. In the next moment, there was a "puchi" sound. Linlong's sword had actually pierced a hole in the Mountain Pangolin's stomach.
This way, the Mountain Pangolin had no strength left and was directly killed by Linlong and Feng Ting.
After killing the Mountain Pangolin, the two of them continued to walk in. After a few more steps, they saw a dark purple stone. This stone was the size of two palms and there were dark patterns on it.
It must be the Purple Mountain Stone, Linlong thought to himself.
"Big Brother Feng, the Mountain Pangolin has been killed. Come in." Linlong did not go forward to take the Purple Mountain Stone. Instead, he said to Feng Hao, who was outside.
He was here to help. Moreover, he did not know what the Purple Mountain Stone was used for. Naturally, he would not snatch it away.
Hearing the sound, Feng Hao immediately walked in. When he saw the stone, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed with a face full of joy. "It really is the Purple Mountain Stone!"
After saying that, he took two steps forward and took the Purple Mountain Stone in his hand.
"What is the use of this Purple Mountain Stone?" Linlong could not help but ask.
"It is a rare material in runes," Feng Hao said. As he spoke, he exerted force in his hands and the Purple Mountain Stone was split into two.
Then, he directly handed one half to Linlong. "Little Brother Lin, the other half is for you."
Linlong did not stand on ceremony. He directly took it and stored it in his runic spatial ring. From the looks of it, the Purple Mountain Stone was definitely of great use. Naturally, Linlong did not mind obtaining it.
"I like people like Brother Lin who are straightforward." Feng Hao could not help but smile.
As for the hard armor on the Mountain Pangolin, Feng Hao did not want it. Linlong stripped it off and stored it in his runic spatial ring. This was a top-notch material. Even if Linlong did not use it now, it would still be useful in the future.
After that, the three of them left the cave.
After leaving the cave, Feng Hao said, "Brother Lin, you should go first. The two of us still have some matters to attend to. We will enter the runes institute after we are done."
"Alright, then I will go first!" Linlong nodded.
Just like that, the three of them split up. Linlong directly sprinted in the direction of the white light.
After running for a few feet, his expression changed. He discovered that the energy of the green elixir in his body had clearly been exhausted.
In other words, he would not be able to hide from the black-robed woman's search.
Fortunately, he was already at the edge of the mysterious runic array. As long as he entered it, he would be fine. Thinking of this, Linlong could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Next, he sprinted forward as fast as he could. Who would have thought that the white light was so close? After sprinting for an hour, he only saw the edge of it.
Just a little more and he would reach it!
Who would have thought that just as this thought flashed across Linlong's mind, a strange noise would suddenly ring out from the void behind him.
Lin Long turned his head around, and his face immediately darkened. Not far behind him, there was a figure that seemed to be carrying a ball of fire as it charged towards him. Who else could it be other than that black-clothed woman?
Although there were powerful ferocious beasts in the sky, they were clearly afraid of the black-robed woman and did not dare to approach.
At this moment, Linlong no longer had any hesitation. He directly charged toward the white light ahead.
His speed was very fast, but the black-robed woman behind him was even faster.
Fortunately, the moment he charged into the white light, the black-robed woman had also arrived behind him. During this process, she had already sent a palm strike towards him.
However, this palm strike was directly blocked by the white light of the mysterious runic array. After a series of ripples appeared on the white light, the black-robed woman's powerful palm strike directly dissipated into nothingness.
"Brat, hurry up and come out!" It was unknown whether the black-robed woman was afraid of the runic array or something else, but she did not rush in. Instead, she reprimanded Linlong, who was inside.
Why would Linlong care about her? He continued to walk in, minding his own business.
He could clearly feel that the energy in his body and even the ferocious beast's talent could no longer be activated.
Obviously, what Jiang Zhixing and Qinglian had said previously was true.
Seeing that Linlong did not come out, the black-robed woman could not help but frown. After stomping her feet, she also rushed into the white light.
Once she rushed into the white light, she immediately chased after Linlong. However, she was no longer as powerful as before.
Seeing that she actually dared to follow him in, Linlong immediately turned around.
Although he could not activate the ferocious beast's talent and the energy in his body, he could still feel that his body technique was still there. Naturally, he was not worried that he could not deal with the other party.
"Previously, you chased me until I fled. Now, I will let you know the consequences of doing so!" Linlong said coldly.
"Hmph, don't think that you can deal with me here!" The black-robed woman said indifferently.
Linlong did not take her words to heart. Just as he was about to rush over and beat the other party to the ground, his expression changed. This was because he realized that the other party actually took out a rune bomb from her body.
"Brat, quickly squat down. Otherwise, I will let you know how terrifying this rune bomb is!" The black-robed woman said proudly.
Looking at the rune bomb in the other party's hand, Linlong's expression was uncertain. He did not dare to test the power of the other party's rune bomb.
Although the body technique was still there, without the help of the energy in his body, he would definitely suffer a serious injury even if he could block the rune bomb.
"Hurry up!" Seeing that Linlong still did not move, the black-robed woman urged again. At the same time, her right hand made a gesture to throw the rune bomb.
Frowning, Linlong could only squat down.
At this moment, the black-robed woman took out a pair of shackles and threw them over. She said, "Use these shackles to lock your hands!"
The black-robed woman was very thoughtful. As long as Linlong's hands were locked inside, no matter how much he struggled, he would only become her prisoner.
Of course, it would also be useful outside because the shackles could not be easily opened.
If he were to lock the shackles, he would only become her prisoner. He could not do that. Such a thought flashed through Linlong's mind as he picked up the shackles.
At this moment, he felt that he had to fight no matter what. Hence, when he pretended to use the shackles to lock himself, he suddenly rushed toward the other party.
What he did not expect was that the other party did not throw the rune bomb at him. Instead, she subconsciously retreated.
How could Linlong let go of such an opportunity? He grabbed the shackles in his hand and swept them toward the rune bomb.
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, the runic bullet was directly swept away by him.
At the same time, the black-robed woman actually launched a punch at his face.
What surprised Linlong was that the black-robed woman's punch was actually quite powerful in a situation where she could not activate the energy in her body.
How could Linlong allow himself to be hit so easily? His right hand directly grabbed the other party's wrist.
Just as the other party's fist was about to smash into his face, he tightly grabbed the other party's wrist.
Due to inertia, the two of them directly rolled to the ground.
