Lin Jin nodded. "That's all. Try to comprehend it and try to cast it!"
Shang'er had the same intention. Invoking a spell, she pointed at a rock beside her and began casting Object Manipulation.
Magical arts relied on one's perception, while techniques relied on practice. The two were interdependent and couldn't be dispensed with. Shang'er had a high level of comprehension which Lin Jin admitted he couldn't compare to. Even her understanding of spells left Lin Jin in awe.
This was the first time he used the Object Manipulation Technique, and the rock moved a little in the air.
Shang'er kept practicing and on her fifth try, she could already make the rock float three feet in the air.
Amazing.
With the Demonic Transformation manual in hand, Lin Jin obviously wanted to try cultivating it. However, this was a monster's cultivation method so it wasn't suitable for humans. Lin Jin was stuck on the part where he had to convert his demonic energy into magical energy.
Hence, even if he had a top-notch cultivation and spellcasting manual, Lin Jin could only teach them to pet beasts and monsters. He couldn't learn them himself.
Relatively speaking, human cultivators could only cultivate blood contracts and corresponding spells. For actual combat, they still had to rely on their pet beasts.
Shang'er kept practicing and in less than an hour, she was quite proficient at it. She could now float a rock that weighed a hundred pounds and manipulate objects at will. As Lin Jin watched from the side, he was suddenly reminded of ancient sword immortals. They probably relied on Object Manipulation to control their flying swords to behead their enemies from a hundred feet away.
However, flying swords didn't exist now but rocks could be found anywhere.
Shang'er walked out of the cave and pointed at a tree as thick as a bowl several feet away. With a lift, the tree was uprooted.
"Fall!"
Shang'er swept her finger downwards and the tree's trunk fell like a sharp sword, piercing into the ground with great force.
Lin Jin could tell that the tree weighed at least three hundred pounds. Shang'er's comprehension ability was truly terrifying. She had only learned it for a short period of time but she could already perform it to this extent.
The most excited one was obviously Shang'er. She turned around and kowtowed to Lin Jin, unable to conceal the joy on her face. Although Lin Jin couldn't cultivate on his own, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Master Lin, Shang'er wants to go to Mount Zoroku now." Shang'er's gaze was resolute. It was obvious that she had long wanted to go to Mount Zoroku for revenge. After all, Little Jiu was injured by the demon beast there. She didn't go before because she had to take care of her sisters, and she didn't have any offensive spells.
But now that she had learned some skills, she naturally wanted to take revenge.
Lin Jin didn't stop him.
To be honest, he also wanted to go to Mount Zoroku to have a look. There were demonic beasts in this world, but they were all hiding in the deep mountains and forests, making it difficult to find them. It would be good to have a chance to see them, and at the same time, he could test the power of Shang 'er's spells.
Danger?
There was no such thing.
Shang'er was able to escape with the little foxes, which meant that the monsters in Mount Zoroku were not that great. What's more, he still had Xiaohuo and Goldy. If he couldn't fight alone, he would have to gang up on them.
Mount Zoroku was eighty miles away from here. Shang'er had Little Five take care of the other little foxes while she rode on Xiao Huo in his wolf form and went with Lin Jin.
In the darkness of the night, in the forest, there were giant wolves running and attacking. There was no one around, so he was not worried about being seen.
Shang'er was curious as to why Lin Jin carried a rooster everywhere he went. Lin Jin told her that if they were to really fight, Xiao Huo might not even be Goldy's match.
Eighty miles of mountain roads would take an average person an entire night to reach. But in his wolf form, Xiao Huo arrived in less than an hour.
Mount Zoroku was a mountain among mountains.
This place was surrounded by mountains and dense forests. No one would come here during the day, let alone in the middle of the night.
"What kind of monster lives on Mount Zoroku?" Lin Jin suddenly asked.
Shang'er looked at the pitch-black mountain range before her and answered, "It's a wolf!"
Wolf?
Wolves were pack animals and they usually traveled in packs.
Lin Jin asked Shang'er to confirm that there was only one wolf?
"Yes, it's one. That wolf is strong but its shapeshifting skills aren't as good as mine, so it's half human and half wolf. However, it knows how to control strong winds. We suffered a great loss last time." Shang'er was a vengeful person, but if it was Lin Jin, he wouldn't let the matter rest after hurting his little sister.
Some wild beasts could still be seen on the outskirts of Mount Zoroku, but as they ventured deeper into the mountain, there were fewer of them. In the end, they couldn't even see a single beast.
However, this only meant that they weren't too far away from the wolf demon.
Xiao Huo had returned to his normal form. Sensing danger, he let out a low growl. Goldy was the only one who didn't seem to care. If it weren't for Lin Jin holding onto him tightly, he might have jumped down to look for worms to eat.
"We're here!"
Shang'er pointed at a cave up ahead.
Lin Jin looked around. The cave was surrounded by bare rocks, a place that had been through the passage of time. The cave wasn't big and it was pitch-black. There were many beast skeletons scattered around, adding a bloody stench to the already eerie atmosphere.
Lin Jin had been feeling uneasy since earlier, as if something was spying on them in the dark.
Needless to say, it was most likely that wolf demon.
In the wild, wolf packs were terrifying existences. But what was even more terrifying was a lone wolf.
More savage, more dangerous, and more cunning.
According to Shang'er, the wolf demon here was a lone wolf.
There was a brief silence. No one made a sound. Only the gentle rustling of leaves could be heard.
Suddenly, the sound of the wind grew louder.
Noticing something, Xiao Huo growled in a certain direction. With Lin Jin's permission, he pounced forward and disappeared into the dark forest.
Sounds of fighting could be heard.
Shang'er was agile. She leaped up onto a treetop that was about ten feet tall. She controlled a boulder that weighed several hundred kilograms to hover in the air before hurling it at Xiao Huo.
Lin Jin didn't move.
He wouldn't personally participate in a fight like this. After all, close combat wasn't his forte.
He only needed to observe from the sidelines, strategize, and give pointers.
A strong gust of wind kicked up, sending sand and pebbles flying.
Xiao Huo was swept up by a terrifying gust of wind and was then forced into his giant wolf form. Although the wind was strong, it couldn't lift Xiao Huo in his giant wolf form.
The treetop that Shang'er was on earlier had been chopped off by some unknown force. She nimbly moved around the surrounding branches, constantly controlling the rocks to attack. She also had a high level of comprehension, so when she encountered an attack, she would use the boulder to block it.
A large part of the forest in front of them collapsed. Loud noises rang out as howls rose and fell.
It was obvious how intense the battle was.
Lin Jin focused his gaze and saw that it was a mess. But due to the number of fallen trees, his vision became clearer.
With the help of the moonlight, Lin Jin saw a two-meter tall humanoid beast.
Shang'er's description was spot on. This wolf demon was half human, half beast. Like a human, it could walk upright and had four limbs. However, its body was covered in wolf fur and its head was that of a wolf with bloodshot eyes and fangs.
