After relaying a few instructions to the plant soul, Qi Yue floated up and flew back to the camp. Was he really just going to let the Zodiac Guardian God warriors cultivate comfortably on the spot? Of course not.
When Qi Yue returned to the camp, his first order was for the Zodiac Guardian God warriors to rescue the people who went up the mountain. This was because the youths from the four families were being "baptized" by the twin dragons. The same torturous training was being carried out today.
When the sky turned dark, the black and white twin dragons retreated again. Everyone crawled back to the camp. Compared to yesterday, the situation today was even more miserable. At least another set of clothes was destroyed. The plant soul and Shang Bing completely treated Guan Jing and the other three as sandbags. Although they controlled their strength, they still beat them up badly. Even their parents might not be able to recognize them.
Mo Dan was arrogant. As soon as he returned to the camp, he went into his room that seemed like it could collapse at any time without saying a word. He immediately started cultivating. The others were in a similar situation. Compared to yesterday, none of them had fainted. However, none of them were complete either.
If the eight Zodiac Guardian God warriors who went up the mountain worked together, they might really be able to defeat the black and white twin dragons. However, how could Qi Yue let them succeed? When they went up the mountain, Qi Yue also went up the mountain quietly. However, he was not going to help them, but the black and white twin dragons. With Qi Yue's strength, he only needed to send his Thundercloud Force and Water Thundercloud Force to the black and white twin dragons from afar, and it would be enough for the Zodiac Guardian God warriors to suffer. Even Ruyue suspected that the two dragons had taken aphrodisiac. Compared to yesterday, their attacks were obviously a few levels higher. If it wasn't for the fact that they used different attacks against different opponents, she would even suspect that Qi Yue had lost control of them.
A month of hard training began. The intensity of the training increased every day. After five days of abusive training, there would be two days of rest. Of course, that was not a real rest. However, without the attack of the black and white twin dragons, everyone had to climb over at least five mountains in the Kunlun Mountain Range. According to the level of the Thundercloud Force, the Zodiac Guardian God warriors had to climb over a mountain for every cloud they climbed. Yao knew that the mountains behind them were rarely lower than 4,000 meters above sea level. Even with the physique of the Zodiac Guardian God warriors, it was extremely difficult to bear.
On the fifth day of the training, Ming Ming's body had completely recovered. Everyone was subtly and quietly changing. It was just that they couldn't feel it. After all, they were hovering on the edge of death every day. The only thing they could think of was how to survive better. All was that. Other than the training, they could only meditate and cultivate. Every night, Qi Yue used the natural energy to help them recover their bodies. This was the most enjoyable time of the day. As the intensity of the training increased, the release of the natural energy became longer and longer.
During this period, apart from "paying attention" to everyone's training, Qi Yue was also very strict with himself. He put all his spiritual force into the cultivation of the source of nature. He knew that the source of nature would be the source of all his energy. If he wanted to surpass all the Qilins when he reached the Nine Cloud Realm and become the strongest among the Qilins, he would have to possess a powerful Origin of Nature. He wanted to become the strongest among the Qilins and hope that the mutation of his body would bring about the best situation. After all, it was the only thing that could help him produce the mutation of his body. Therefore, Qi Yue was not in a hurry to cultivate his four kinds of Thundercloud Force to above the seven-cloud level. He only used one hour to cultivate the four kinds of Thundercloud Force, and the rest of the time was used to absorb the natural energy.
A month passed in pain and suffering. The bodies of the Zodiac Guardian God warriors had changed. The delicate and white skin of Ruyue, Ming Ming, and the other girls had become a healthy color. Although they were still delicate, the darker skin made them resent Qi Yue a lot. The ones who changed the most were the Fatso warriors. Except for Guan Jing, Vole and Mo Dan had lost a lot of weight. Vole looked much more energetic than before. He was no longer so bloated, but had become strong muscles. On the other hand, Mo Dan's change was huge. She had lost one-third of her weight in a short period of a month. Although she still looked a little fat, her original appearance was gradually revealed without makeup. Her arrogance seemed to have been worn away by the hard training, and her appearance had gradually become delicate because of losing weight. Only the plump breasts didn't change much. She was indeed a cow!
The changes in the 120 people from the four great families were also very obvious. Everyone's skin had become a healthy bronze color, and their gazes were clearly much sharper than before. Their energy levels had also improved greatly. The month of training had caused them to forget about the families they belonged to. Right now, there was only their own team in their hearts. Every day, they experienced the process of life and death, and almost every one of them had been rescued by others in their team, pulled back from the brink of death. This caused them to no longer have any ill feelings between them, and they had become close comrades-in-arms. And the relationship between the members of each team and their team leader had also become very close. Almost every day, the Zodiac Guardian God Warriors would rescue their subordinates many times and teach them some of their skills in various kinds of training, so that they could better improve their strength. All of this was gradually completed according to Qi Yue's plan.
It was the last day of the month. Qi Yue asked everyone to gather in the open space in the center of the camp, and first distributed enough fruits for everyone to eat. Speaking of these fruits, it was also one of the important factors that improved everyone's body. Without the flashy city and the poison of tobacco and alcohol, eating these nutritious fruits every day allowed everyone to better absorb the natural energy released by Qi Yue. Therefore, they were able to achieve their current results. This was also one of the reasons why Qi Yue had to set the training in the era of ancient beasts.
Sighing at the changes in everyone's aura in the open space, Qi Yue could not help but smile sincerely. Although he could not see, he could clearly feel that everyone present had changed, whether it was the Zodiac Guardian God Warriors or the 120 people from the four big families. Now, he no longer used the term 'four big families' to describe these youths, but directly called them by the names of their respective teams. For example, Vole and his subordinates were called the Zodiac Mouse Team, and so on.
Although Qi Yue did not participate in the training, the Twelve Zodiac Squads were indeed the most grateful to him. No one was blind, they knew very well that in the past month, they could recover from the exhaustion of the previous night to become energetic and lively every morning, completely relying on Qi Yue's amazing natural energy. Qi Yue helped them unreservedly, causing the members of the Twelve Zodiac Squads to respect him from the bottom of their hearts. Qi Yue did not speak much every day, only giving orders. However, after a month had passed, no one had collapsed because of the high-intensity training.
What did this mean? Ji De, Shang Bing, and Plant Soul could be said to be outside of the Twelve Zodiac Squads, but their improvement was no less than that of the members of the Twelve Zodiac Squads. They were also participating in the same training. Apart from the special "care" given to Guan Jing and the other three, Qi Yue paid the most attention to them. The energy of the Spring of Nature was not stingy in transforming their bodies. Although the daily training was very hard, they all knew that they had changed too much in the past month. In this one month, they had changed too much. Sometimes, even they themselves found it hard to believe that they could actually become so much stronger than before.
Qi Yue stood in the middle of the open space, still dressed in black. He still had the same pale hair. However, the way everyone looked at him was different from when they first arrived. Now, regardless of age, all the Zodiac Guardian God warriors called him Boss. It was the same for the members of the Twelve Zodiac Squads. It was Qi Yue's selfless contribution that allowed them to persist in this month's training. That was why they could improve so much now. From the initial dissatisfaction, to the present sincere gratitude, they saw too much in Qi Yue.
"Everyone has worked hard. It has been almost a month since we arrived here. I think everyone can see that this is not the era that belongs to us. I am very happy that each of you can persist until the end. You did not let me down. However, I also hope that everyone can understand that the training has just begun. Although you have improved to a certain extent, especially in terms of cooperation and combat experience, it is still far from enough. In our era, it is very difficult to have large-scale battles, especially cold weapons, to hone your skills. However, it is different here. According to my plan, three days later, we will embark on a new journey of training. This time, you will face an even more dangerous situation. If you want to return to our era alive, you will have to put in 200% of your effort. Soon, we will climb the majestic Kunlun Mountain Range in front of us for the last time. Today, there will be no more attacks from Divine Beasts and Ominous Beasts, but it is indeed an opportunity for each of you. However, there is still danger. Everyone must strictly obey orders, otherwise, I will not be able to save you. All teams, according to the zodiac, set off. "
Qi Yue did not say what he was going to do. He floated up and was the first to fly in the direction of the Kunlun Mountain Range. Shang Bing, Ji De, and the plant soul followed closely behind him. None of the members of the twelfth zodiac team said anything. After a month of training, they had developed a good habit of obeying orders. They followed closely behind their captain, forming a long meandering dragon behind Qi Yue, and set off in the direction of the Kunlun Mountain Range.
The speed of climbing was very fast. After the transformation of their bodies by the Source of Nature and a month of hard training, climbing mountains was as easy as eating for these young people. As soon as the long meandering dragon entered the range of the Kunlun Mountain Range, under the leadership of Qi Yue, it began to move forward like a jumping star. It moved forward at an amazing speed.
Every once in a while, Qi Yue would look back to see that no one in the twelfth zodiac team was left behind. One month of training was not in vain! He had his own purpose today, and it was a very simple one. It could be said that the previous month of training was all for today's sake.
Crossing mountains and ridges began. The twelfth zodiac team climbed over one mountain after another. From the beginning, their light pace gradually became heavy. When they climbed over the third mountain that was six thousand meters high, Qi Yue ordered everyone to take a break. At this time, they had already entered the inner part of the Kunlun Mountain Range. In the recent training, even the strongest members of the twelfth zodiac team had begun to return to the inner part of the mountain range. As the overall strength of more than a hundred people increased, although the Black and White Dragons were powerful, facing so many enemies and with the support of Qi Yue, they could not hold on much longer. After all, the strength that Qi Yue gave them was limited, and the enemies they had to face were more than a hundred people every day. Every day's improvement increased the combat strength of the twelfth zodiac team. The improvement of one person was nothing, but the improvement of more than a hundred people at the same time was absolutely terrifying. The overall strength of the twelfth zodiac team was improving at an extremely fast speed, especially as the teams became more and more proficient in their joint attack skills. Now, under the leadership of the twelve zodiac guardian gods, even with Qi Yue's full support, the Black and White Dragons only dared to occasionally launch sneak attacks. They did not dare to confront the twelfth zodiac team head-on.
A faint light lit up in Qi Yue's eyes. She could already feel the cold aura from afar. After Qi Yue gave the order to rest, the twelfth zodiac team did not talk to each other. Instead, they seized this short time to cultivate and strive to achieve the best recovery effect in the shortest time possible. This was also a principle that they had come to understand after a month of training. Before the end of training, every second was extremely precious to them. A faint light flickered, and everyone exuded a different aura. After the start of the break, the twelfth zodiac team began to disperse. Originally, the people of the four major families gathered together. Because the attributes of their respective families were very similar, they could better absorb the energy molecules of the air clock when they gathered together. This way, they could obtain the greatest improvement in a short period of time.
The strength of the Zodiac Guardian God warriors was naturally much stronger than that of the young people of the four major families. At this time, although they were a little tired, they did not rest. Instead, they took the initiative to gather around Qi Yue.
Ruyue said, "Qi Yue, do we still continue to move forward? The members of each team are quite exhausted. If we continue to move forward, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to our camp before dark. "
Qi Yue said, "Let's continue to move forward. I didn't plan to return to the camp tonight anyway."
Yan Xiaoyi said, "Boss Qi Chong Bao, if we don't return to the camp, are we going to live on the snow mountain? Even if we can hold on, I'm afraid that the members of each team will not be able to hold on. It's too cold in the mountains, especially at night. I'm afraid that everyone will not be able to hold on. "
Qi Yue patted Yan Xiaoyi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plans." Because his strength was originally not strong, during this month of training, Yan Xiaoyi had made great progress. At this time, he had already reached the Four-Cloud level. In terms of actual combat experience, he was much stronger than before. He had already begun to use his zodiac sheep ability in battle. Although most of them were support skills, sometimes, it was the support skills that could determine the outcome of the whole battle.
Qi Yue closed his eyes and condensed his spiritual power in a certain direction. His huge spiritual power quickly connected to the place he wanted to contact. After doing this, he also sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate. He wasn't doing this because he had consumed too much energy, but because he wanted to make use of this short period of time to cultivate better. Although his strength could not be greatly improved in a short period of time, as the saying goes, a little makes a mickle. Qi Yue had already developed this good habit of cultivating at all times. Moreover, there were still many things waiting for him to do today, and his own energy was the key to support himself.
When everyone had just rested for about half an hour, the Zodiac Guardian Warriors suddenly opened their eyes at the same time. Ruyue and Xu Dong floated up from the ground almost at the same time. After completing their Origin Mutation in an instant, they spread their wings and floated up into the sky.
The other Zodiac Guardian Warriors gathered together in a fan shape, each raising their own Thundercloud Force, as if they were waiting for something. The fan shape they formed just happened to protect the members of the Zodiac Guardian Teams, so that they would not be affected when they encountered danger.
Ru Yue, who was in the sky, let out a loud dragon roar, as if she was provoking something. The Zodiac Guardian God Warriors below almost completed the Origin Mutation at the same time. After a month of training, all the Zodiac Guardian God Warriors could at least complete the first stage of Origin Mutation. In other words, everyone's strength had increased to the Three Clouds. It could be seen how great the change was for them in the past month.
Qi Yue was the last to stand up from the ground, and calmly said, "Everyone, stop fighting. It's not an enemy."
The surrounding Zodiac Guardian Warriors couldn't help but be stunned, because they all felt that the approaching aura was very familiar. Why did Qi Yue say that it was not an enemy? Although Qi Yue's voice was very soft, it clearly reached everyone's ears. In the sky, Xu Dong was still hesitating, but Ruyue had already floated down and landed beside Qi Yue.
At this moment, two dragon roars simultaneously rang out from the distance. One was black and the other was white. Two enormous figures were rapidly approaching from the distance. It was the twin black and white dragons that had ambushed the twelve zodiac teams countless times over the past month. A faint smile appeared in Qi Yue's eyes as he said, "Now I can tell everyone that they are not our enemies, but training partners that have been accompanying you all this time."
"Ah?" Apart from Ruyue and Snow Girl, the rest of the Zodiac Guardian Warriors couldn't help but feel shocked. They looked at Qi Yue, then looked at the Black and White Twin Dragons that were rapidly approaching them, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
Qi Yue smiled faintly and said, "What? You don't believe me? Don't you think that for the past month, although they have been harassing you all, but in the battles with them, who among you has suffered any real harm? Perhaps now they are no longer able to do anything to you, but what about at the beginning of the month? Do any of you have the confidence to deal with their attacks? You must know that at that time, the cooperation between you all was too poor. On the first day, if they hadn't retreated, I'm afraid that your team of more than a hundred members would have been completely annihilated. "
At this moment, the Zodiac Guardian Warriors gradually understood. Looking at the enigmatic smile on Qi Yue's face, they couldn't help but smile wryly at each other. It turned out that all of this was planned by Qi Yue. No wonder he always had a card up his sleeve, it turned out that these two powerful Ominous Beasts were actually his doing.
Yan Xiaoyi cried out involuntarily, "Heavens! Boss, how did you do it? How could you find such powerful sparring partners? "
Qi Yue smiled faintly and said, "Have you forgotten? Before you came, I had already come to this era. Do you think that I spent that time in vain? Black Dragon and White Dragon are both my friends and my companions. They once saved my life, and they are already here. "
At this time, the huge bodies of the Black and White Dragons had already appeared in everyone's line of sight. The members of the Twelve Zodiac Teams who were previously in the middle of cultivating also felt the aura of the Black and White Dragons due to the close distance. One by one, they immediately jumped up from the ground and emitted their own energy as they stared at the Black and White Dragons. Under the leadership of the Twelve Zodiac Guardian Warriors, they were no longer afraid of the Black and White Dragons.
Qi Yue repeated what he had said to the Twelve Zodiac Guardian Warriors to the Twelve Zodiac Teams, and then walked straight towards the Black and White Dragons.
Black Dragon lowered his head, and when Qi Yue walked in front of him, he couldn't help but rub his body a few times. Qi Yue patted Black Dragon's head and said with a smile, "Big Brother, you've really worked hard these past few days."
Black Dragon chuckled, and under everyone's shocked gazes, he said, "It's not hard at all. If I could continue working hard like this, I'd be looking forward to it." For the past month, fighting with the Twelve Zodiac Teams had also helped him gain combat experience. Moreover, every day, Qi Yue used his own energy to support him and White Dragon in harassing the Twelve Zodiac Teams. Imperceptibly, Qi Yue's energy had a certain effect on their bodies, causing the strength of the Black and White Dragons to improve significantly. Compared to when they usually cultivated alone, they were many times stronger.
Smiling faintly, Qi Yue's eyes revealed a gentle light, "I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity in the future. For the rest of the journey, I'll have to rely on you two to lead the way."
Black Dragon said, "No problem, we're here."
Qi Yue turned to the Twelve Zodiac Teams and said indifferently, "If anyone is dissatisfied with the Black and White Dragons' attack on you, wait until the end of this training. Alright, let's move on. If anyone's physical strength can't hold on, let me know immediately. Don't force yourself. Try to maintain your body heat as much as possible. There's still a long way to go." Who would be dissatisfied? When they first found out that the Black and White Dragons were Qi Yue's friends, they might have been a little dissatisfied. However, when they thought about it carefully, throughout the training, it was indeed as Qi Yue had said. Although the Black and White Dragons had pushed them to the brink of death time and time again, they had never really hurt them. Just as Qi Yue said, the Black and White Dragons were actually their sparring partners! Where else could he find such a good sparring partner? Moreover, even if they were dissatisfied, who would dare to bring it up to Qi Yue? In the hearts of every member of the Twelve Zodiac Teams, Qi Yue had become even more unfathomable.
More than a hundred people continued on their journey. This time, their speed was a little faster than before. With the Black and White Dragons leading the way, no one dared to relax. Even though exhaustion was constantly attacking their bodies, they gritted their teeth and endured it. A month of training. A month of training had long nurtured their persevering character.
When the sun gradually set in the west and the moon rose quietly, the Twelve Zodiac Teams had already been climbing the Kunlun Mountains for a whole day. They had only rested three times, and each time they rested for less than an hour. During this time, they had eaten fruits to appease their hunger. When they were thirsty, they would randomly pick up some ice and snow from the ground and stuff it into their mouths. When they were tired, they would use the needles they carried with them to prick the thickest parts of their bodies. Until now, although everyone felt dehydrated, no one had brought it up to Qi Yue. That was until this afternoon, when they had been climbing mountains that were more than 6,000 meters above sea level! Altitude sickness alone was not something that ordinary people could withstand.
Guan Ping quickened his footsteps and flew to Qi Yue's side. In a low voice, he said, "Boss, I'm afraid that the other teams won't be able to hold on much longer. Under such cold weather and high altitude conditions, I'm afraid that pulmonary edema will appear if we continue. It's no longer suitable for us to continue on our journey. The sky is already dark. Should we find a place to temporarily set up camp and have Little Yi treat everyone, or perhaps use your Nature Energy? Only then will there be no repercussions."
Qi Yue glanced at the vast and boundless snow-capped mountains in front of them. He nodded gently and said, "The fact that they have been able to hold on until now has greatly exceeded my expectations. However, we are about to reach our destination. Let them hold on for a while longer. You keep a close eye on them. If anyone's body can't hold on any longer, put him on the back of the Black Dragons and let them carry him forward."
Guan Ping nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll head back to the team first."
After continuing on for an hour, the members of the Twelve Zodiac Squads, with the exception of the captains, were all in varying degrees of crisis. Some of them had already fallen into a deep sleep. It was at this time that Qi Yue finally gave the order to stop.
Qi Yue floated up and landed on the head of the Black Dragon. He asked, "Have we arrived?"
The Black Dragon replied, "It's here. Let them get ready."
Qi Yue nodded and jumped down from the Black Dragon's head. He summoned all the Zodiac Guardian Warriors in front of him and said, "Ruyue, you stay here. Everyone else, follow me down. Ten minutes after we go down, Ruyue will have all the members jump down into the cave at the speed of one person per minute. Stick close to the cave wall and slide down. We will be waiting for you down there. Once you're down there, everyone must raise their strength as much as possible to avoid being attacked by the cold. Let's go."
The Black Dragon was the first to move, followed by the White Dragon. They turned around and suddenly drilled into the ice and snow. As if they didn't encounter any obstacles, the Black Dragon's huge body disappeared first. A huge black hole appeared on the ground, followed by the White Dragon. Qi Yue called out to the Zodiac Guardian Warriors and directly jumped down into the cave like a slide. There was a faint smile on his face as he clasped his hands in front of his chest. They had finally arrived at their destination, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The figures of the Zodiac Guardian God warriors disappeared one by one, but Ru Yue did not dare to be negligent. She activated her dragon power and spread it out. She used her dragon wings to spread the energy into the bodies of every member of the Zodiac Guardian God Squad. Of course, this was not an attack. She was just using her energy to help the members of the squad recover as much as possible so that they would not collapse from the high altitude and cold.
Although the Zodiac Guardian Warriors had some doubts in their hearts, when they entered the ice cave, they had a strange feeling. Each of them had their own ability. After entering the ice cave, they released their own energy, bringing with them a faint light. The entire cave was completely made of ice. In that icy world, different colors of light shone.
