On the 11th day of entering the Dragon Seeking Forest, the team slowly entered the Valley of Rubble.
The snow was still falling as if it would never end.
"Rustle, rustle …"
Lin Muyu brushed the snow off her shoulders and pulled on the reins to speed up the warhorse. Wei Chou followed closely and said, "Milord, we must be careful. The snow has covered everything in the mountain, and many stone attribute spirit beasts are also buried under the snow. If we're not careful, we might step into a trap."
"Got it!"
Lin Muyu wasn't worried at all because he had the Spirit Pulse Art. When his spiritual sense pulsed, almost any energy fluctuation within three miles couldn't escape his senses. This was something even a sacred realm expert couldn't compare to.
Suddenly, he looked towards the north and said, "Be careful, there's a spirit beast there, and it's very strong!"
"Yes!"
Everyone was solemn. After turning around a mountain, they saw a giant elephant standing at the foot of a rocky peak. It was about five meters tall and had a huge body. It didn't move at all, and the surface of its skin was almost the same as the stone.
"It's a stone elephant!"
Wei Chou said in a low voice, "A 4,800 year old stone elephant, milord, seems to be hibernating. Do we need to kill it? It shouldn't be difficult to kill it now. We're too lucky to encounter a hibernating high rank spirit beast so easily. "
"No."
Lin Muyu shook her head and said: "Spirit beasts are also living creatures, when we don't need them, let's not kill too much. Let's continue forward, we need to kill rock type spirit beasts above 5000 years old."
"Yes, milord!"
The group of Imperial Guards couldn't help but look at Lin Muyu with more respect. In this Shattered Cauldron Continent, the strong were respected, and the weak had no dignity to speak of. In their opinion, the fate of the weak was to be fish on the chopping block. Lin Muyu was the strongest among this group of Imperial Guards, yet she still had kindness in her heart. They didn't dare to laugh at Lin Muyu because Lin Muyu was much stronger than them.
…
By noon, they had traversed half of the Valley of Rubble and encountered more than a dozen spirit beasts. However, none of them were of the Stone Element and above 5,000 years old.
Lin Muyu was not in a hurry. She sat on the horseback and cultivated the Dragon Forging Bone Remnant Scroll, not wasting any time.
At this moment, his spiritual sense suddenly fluctuated. It had appeared!
He suddenly raised his head and said with a smile, "The thing we're looking for is here, and it came to us by itself!"
"What?" Wei Chou and the others were shocked.
"Defensive formation, hurry up!" Lin Muyu shouted in a low voice.
The group dismounted one after another and protected the warhorses in the center. The Imperial Guards raised their shields and formed a circle. In less than two minutes, the howls of wolves could be heard from afar. At least 20 + huge gray wolves charged down from the mountain ridge in the distance. From afar, they looked very imposing.
Wei Chou narrowed his eyes and said, "It's the Rock Spot Wolves … at least 20 of them. My god, what kind of luck do we have? Not only are the Rock Spot Wolves fast and agile, their fur is also very thick. They're even harder to deal with than the Swift Wolves. We … with so many Rock Spot Wolves all of a sudden, we're in danger!"
Lin Muyu said, "Form a circle. I'll charge out and kill them. Don't move, understand?"
"Yes!"
He proudly raised his sword and walked to the outer perimeter of the defensive circle. With a light lift of his palm, he summoned the Wall of the Gourd, Mystic Tortoise Shell, and Wall of Dragon Scale. The wolves in the distance were getting closer and closer. Every single one of them had a pattern of gold and silver lines on their foreheads, representing their lifespan and strength. The largest wolf among them actually had 5 gold lines and 2 silver lines. It was a 5200 year old stone wolf.
It was a pity that he was the Wolf King, and he had brought more than 10 Rock Spot Wolves with him. If they weren't careful, they might end up being hunted.
Wei Chou gripped his sword tightly and shouted, "My Lord, be careful. There's a 5200 years old Wolf King and a 3900 years old Wolf King. The rest are all below 3000 years old. Be careful!"
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu raised her voice and said, "I'll block them. You guys use your bows and arrows to kill them. Kill the younger Rock Spot Wolves first. If they pounce and bite, you must defend yourself. Don't let the warhorses get attacked. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble."
"Yes!"
As they spoke, the Wolf King had already arrived. Lin Muyu rushed forward without hesitation and activated Thunderous Frenzy!
"Crack …"
The Burning Prairie Sword directly collided with the layer of spiritual energy on the Wolf King's abdomen, causing fragments to fly everywhere. However, it was unable to harm the Wolf King. On the contrary, the Wolf King pounced with all its might and directly hit the wall of the gourd. With a "peng" sound, the Black Tortoise Shell was already covered in cracks. Spirit beasts over 5,000 years old were indeed powerful. Spirit beasts under 5,000 years old were completely incomparable.
"Sha sha …"
Her battle boots stepped on the snow. Lin Muyu directly used the exquisite Butterfly Steps. A few footprints crisscrossed on the snow as she dodged the Wolf King's next attack. Then, she raised her fist. Her fist was covered with a blood-colored cyclone. She directly punched the 3900 years old Rock Spot Wolf!
[Chaos of All Life]!
The punch directly shattered the Rock Spot Wolf's spirit energy layer and shattered its ribs. With a loud howl, the 3900 years old Rock Spot Wolf was seriously injured by the [First Dazzle]. It lay on the snow and struggled to get up, but it was already too late. Lin Muyu's intention was very simple. She wanted to use her strength to restrain the Wolf King and then quickly finish off the second 3900 years old Rock Spot Wolf. Clearly, she had achieved her goal.
The Wolf King roared and pounced over again. At the same time, it summoned the other three over 2000 years old Rock Spot Wolves to surround and attack her, forming a 4 vs 1 attack.
Lin Muyu gripped the Burning Prairie Sword tightly. The walls of the Bottle Gourd covered her body to protect herself. Sharp arrows whizzed past her, killing or injuring the Rock Spot Wolves one after another. Of course, there were even more Rock Spot Wolves that pounced on the shield wall and opened their mouths to bite the shoulder armor of the Royal Guards. The sound of howling and tearing filled the air.
"Swoosh!"
The longsword swept horizontally and directly chopped off the front leg of a 2100 year old Rock Spot Wolf. However, in this fleeting moment, the Mystic Tortoise Shell had already been torn apart. What followed next was the Dragon Scale Wall. The Wolf King crazily bit down with its sharp claws and ferocious mouth. In the blink of an eye, even the Dragon Scale Wall was torn apart.
At this moment, Lin Muyu had also finished off the other three Rock Spot Wolves. He suddenly turned around and smelled a fishy smell. The Wolf King's claws had landed on his chest, and a mighty force pushed him to the snow.
"Oh no!"
He was secretly shocked and hurriedly raised his left arm. The effects of the Stoneskin Potion were still in effect, and he could only hope that he could withstand the attack.
"Pu!"
Fresh blood splattered. He had overestimated the effects of the potion, and his left wrist was directly penetrated by the Wolf King's fangs. A heart-wrenching pain spread through his body. He was already injured.
An indescribable anger surged in his heart. This beast actually dared to be so impudent?
A vigorous force instantly surged into his right arm. In the next moment, his fist was surrounded by the Life Constellation. The mighty fist directly landed on the Wolf King's neck —
Three Luminaries Calamity!
"Kacha!" The Wolf King howled in pain as it retreated. Its neck had been struck by the Third Luminaries, and it seemed to have fractured its bones. However, the Wolf King's vitality was too tenacious. It staggered back to its feet and looked like it was going to continue pouncing.
Lin Muyu did not give in at all. She raised her left fist that was dripping with blood and threw another mighty punch!
One Luminaries Calamity!
"Bang!"
After a heavy blow, the Wolf King became obedient this time. It howled in pain and retreated.
In for a penny, in for a pound, in for a pound. Lin Muyu lightly raised her palm, and numerous gourd vines rose from the snow, binding the Wolf King tightly. Flames condensed in her palm, and she used the Fire Sword to activate the Dragon Flame Spiral Break!
"Pu …"
Fresh blood splattered everywhere. Almost half of the Wolf King's body was blasted into pieces. No matter how strong its vitality was, it could no longer struggle. With a miserable howl, its soul passed away.
Looking behind him, the remaining Rock Spot Wolves had almost all been killed by Wei Chou and the other Royal Guards. There were at least 40 Rock Spot Wolf corpses lying outside the defensive perimeter. It was more than what he had imagined. It was practically a wolf family.
… …
"My Lady, are you injured?" Wei Chou hurriedly said.
Lin Muyu had already taken out some healing medicine and poured it onto the wound on her wrist. She tore off a piece of white cloth from the end of her battle robe and wrapped it up. She slowly sat down on a snow-covered rock and said while breathing heavily, "I'm fine. How are everyone's injuries?"
Wei Chou said, "One seriously injured and seven lightly injured. These Rock Spot Wolves are too hateful, they are everywhere."
"En."
Lin Muyu walked over to take a look and found that a Royal Guard's shoulder was almost torn apart by the Rock Spot Wolves. His armor was completely shattered. She took out two bottles of healing medicine and poured it on him. Then, she personally helped him bandage his wound. The Royal Guard was so touched that he was about to burst into tears, "My Lady, I … I …"
Lin Muyu raised her hand and said, "Stop being a busybody. If it was me, you would have done the same to me!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. The originally tense feeling of life and death had been washed away by this young general's words.
… …
Not long after, Wei Chou came over with a thick spirit stone and said with a smile, "My Lady, this is a 5200 year old Rock Spot Wolf spirit stone. We have already completed more than half of the mission. We only need to find a 5000 year old Golden Scaled Beast and kill a fat boar to complete this winter's mission. There are still twenty days until the Winter Sacrifice Ceremony, so there should be more than enough time."
"No, we don't actually have much time."
Lin Muyu took the spirit stone and stuffed it into the bag on the horse's back. She said, "If we kill a wild boar, it won't be easy to transport that one thousand kilogram big fellow back. We can't decompose the carcass either, so we should hurry … Immediately set up camp and rest here for a while. After eating lunch, we will continue to the north to find the Golden Scaled Beast."
"Yes, my Lady!"
Wei Chou's face was full of joy. He had probably never carried out a mission so smoothly before, nor had he been so passionate. Killing a bloodthirsty tiger in the Dead Wood Forest, fighting a pack of wolves in the Stony Valley, these deeds were enough for the taverns of the Imperial Capital to brag for a lifetime.
… …
In the afternoon, after eating and drinking to her heart's content, Lin Muyu turned over and mounted the horse. She pulled up the white Temple Cloak behind her head to cover her short hair, brought her injured left arm closer to her chest for warmth, and held the reins with her right hand. The next spirit stone was for the beautiful Princess.
