C59 Enter the Mountain
"Keep your voice down. There are many mercenaries who like Wei Dai. If they hear it and we are going to lose our lives, let's quickly sleep. Tomorrow we will bring this month's harvest back and sell it.
After listening to their conversation, After listening to their conversation, Ling Xiao could not help but worry for his beautiful sister. Although they had only met once, they did not deny that Wei Dai was more attractive than Bai Yuxi and Luo Qingshuang.
"I will enter the mountain range tomorrow. If there is a chance, I will save her once. Perhaps she will be very touched." Ling Xiao smiled and said to himself. He was already fantasizing about Wei Dai submitting to him.
The night was silent. The east gradually turned white.
After buying food and water at the relay station, Ling Xiao and Du Ying Together with the two adventurers named Fu Ning and Fu Wei, they set off for Wilderness Hill.
Very quickly, a day passed.
In the evening, the sun was setting in the west. The red-hot clouds on the horizon were all red. The clouds in all shapes and sizes looked extremely demonic and beautiful. The mountain range was continuous, and the trees were verdant. Weeds were everywhere, and countless unknown wildflowers could be seen everywhere. Under the setting sun, it was as beautiful as a fairyland.
Ling Xiao allowed his horse to search for grass nearby. He looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him. "Is this Wilderness Hill? I heard that there are many powerful Spirit Beasts roaming around, and they eat when they meet people. However, it doesn't look as terrifying as I imagined!
Suddenly, a beast's roar pulled the Ling Xiao back to reality.
"It looks like the more beautiful a place is, the more dangerous it is. But I like it." The Ling Xiao narrowed its eyes and muttered to itself.
"Young Master, let's rest for the night. We'll enter the mountain range tomorrow," Du Ying said respectfully as he came to Ling Xiao's side.
The Ling Xiao nodded and found a place to sit down with Du Ying .
Fu Ning and Fu Wei went to pick up materials to start a fire.
In the mountain range, regardless of whether it was the outer perimeter or the depths, the temperature difference between day and night was relatively large. If they did not start a fire, ordinary martial artists would not be able to withstand the cold.
The four of them started a fire, surrounding each other as they drank and ate meat.
Fu Ning and Fu Wei, on the other hand, kept trying to curry favor with the Ling Xiao and Du Ying . Du Ying had been very famous all these years, and Du Ying served the Ling Xiao as Young Master. It could be seen that the identity of the Ling Xiao was not simple.
"Young Master, Lord Du Ying, have a taste of my pot of monkey wine. It's definitely a good wine." Fu Ning passed a pot of wine to the two of them.
The Ling Xiao took it without hesitation and drank a mouthful of it. "It's really good wine. Du Ying , have a taste.
"Du Ying doesn't dare..." Du Ying knew that there was a difference between master and servant, so he naturally did not dare to drink with the Ling Xiao.
Drink it. "The Ling Xiao stuffed the wine into Du Ying 's hands.
Du Ying was touched. "This Ling family's Young Master is really good.
After drinking, the Ling Xiao could not help but ask about the situation of the Nether Pattern Leopard.
"When did you guys discover the Nether Pattern Leopard?" Ling Xiao looked up at Fu Ning and Fu Wei and asked.
Fu Ning said, "Two days ago, when we came out of the mountain range, we found it when we were washing our faces in a pond. If we didn't run fast, we would have died on the spot. It was fighting with a white ape. It bit the white ape to death, but it was injured by it.
The Ling Xiao stared into Fu Ning's eyes, trying to determine whether Fu Ning was speaking the truth or not.
Fu Ning's eyes were filled with greed. He didn't see anything unusual in his eyes.
"The Second Middle Rank white ape is extremely strong. It is almost invincible among those of the same level. The Nether Pattern Leopard can actually kill it. It seems like this is a Nether Pattern Leopard that is about to advance to the Advanced realm. Perhaps it is a Advanced Nether Pattern Leopard," Du Ying guessed.
"Advanced Nether Pattern Leopard? What should we do?" Fu Wei asked in disappointment.
Second High Rank Nether Pattern Leopard was comparable to a human martial artist Profound Master of High Rank, whereas Du Ying was only a Profound Master of Middle Rank. Even if the Nether Pattern Leopard was injured, Du Ying and the others might not be a match for it. It seemed like their plan to obtain the Nether Pattern Leopard was going to fail.
"There's no need to be pessimistic. If the Nether Pattern Leopard is really injured, it won't recover in such a short period of time. As long as we can consume its energy, we will be able to kill it once its energy is exhausted." Du Ying said with great confidence.
"Then I will have to trouble Lord Du Ying," Fu Ning and Fu Wei quickly said respectfully.
The Ling Xiao said, "Your method of consuming its energy is not good. The Spirit Beast is also intelligent. If it sensed danger, it would definitely run away. With its speed, we can't catch it.
"This..." Fu Ning and Fu Wei suddenly did not know what to say. Because what the Ling Xiao said was indeed true.
"Young Master has a high opinion," Du Ying quickly replied. In fact, in his heart, he still did not agree with what Ling Xiao said. According to his past experience, as long as a Spirit Beast was angered, it would rarely run away, and they would choose to fight until death.
"I have a good idea," the Ling Xiao said after pondering for a moment.
The three of them looked at the Ling Xiao, waiting for what he would say next.
The Ling Xiao said indifferently. "I will attract the Nether Pattern Leopard's attack. Du Ying will take the opportunity to strike at its old injuries. This way, it won't be able to escape even if it isn't afraid.
When Fu Ning and Fu Wei heard the Ling Xiao's words, they could not help but shrug. They thought to themselves, "This Young Master doesn't seem very smart. Is he the only one with the strength of the Profound Warrior of Intermediate Rank who has the qualifications to attract the Nether Pattern Leopard's attack? I'm afraid he can be killed by a single claw of the Nether Pattern Leopard.
Du Ying , on the other hand, was very interested in the Ling Xiao's suggestion. He had seen the Ling Xiao's means before. He could attract the Nether Pattern Leopard's attack. However, he still pretended to be concerned and asked, "Young Master, isn't this too risky?
The Ling Xiao did not answer Du Ying . Instead, it looked at Fu Ning and Fu Wei meaningfully and said, "You guys lead the way. Let's kill it. The leopard skin and fangs belong to us. The rest belongs to you guys. What do you think?
Everyone knew that the most valuable Nether Pattern Leopards were the leopard skin and fangs. If the Ling Xiao wanted the leopard skin and fangs, no one else would agree. However, Fu Ning and Fu Wei had no choice. The rest of the items could be sold for a lot of gold coins. They felt that it was worth it. Anyway, they only needed to lead the way.
The night passed quickly. The Ling Xiao finally stepped into the outer region of Wilderness Hill.
The mountain range of Wilderness Hill stretched for thousands of miles. The trees were lush and lush, and the weeds were crisscrossing like sickles. The unknown wild flowers were blooming one after another. The fragrance was overflowing, and it made people feel refreshed.
Ling Xiao and Du Ying followed Fu Ning and Fu Wei all the way here. Occasionally, a few wild beasts would run out along the way. These wild beasts posed no threat to them at all, and they were too lazy to kill these worthless wild beasts.
From the start until now, they had walked for more than an hour.
Ling Xiao asked somewhat impatiently, "How much longer do we need to arrive?
Fu Ning said, "There's still half an hour. That place is a little hidden. There's only a small path that leads through, and very few people walk through. Last time, we only accidentally entered it. In the end, when we escaped, we remembered the signs along the way.
After listening to Fu Ning's explanation, the Ling Xiao didn't speak anymore. Instead, it vigilantly observed its surroundings. He always felt that this journey was too peaceful. Didn't they say that medicinal Wilderness Hills frequently appeared in Wilderness Hill? Why hadn't he seen a single Spirit Beast yet? This seemed a little strange.
Even Du Ying sensed that something was wrong and gave the Ling Xiao a look. Only Fu Ning and Fu Wei led the way without knowing it.
The two of them walked for a while before the Ling Xiao suddenly shouted, "Something's wrong!
Everyone became alert.
A beast roar sounded, and a medicinal saber-toothed tiger scuttled out from the grass.
"It's just a beast!" Fu Wei said in disdain. The heavy saber in his hand slashed at the saber-toothed tiger.
Who knew that the saber-toothed tiger did not pounce on them at all. It just turned around and ran, looking very miserable.
"Coward wild beast," Fu Wei cursed unhappily.
Another scream, and a black shadow pounced out from close to Fu Wei.
"Be careful!" The Ling Xiao cried out in alarm once again.
At this time, Du Ying thrust his sword in that direction. His speed was faster than anyone else's, and his sword was shining with a scorching flame.
A giant snake almost eight meters long jumped out of the grass. The snake was silver in color. The snake was covered in dense phosphorus, and it gave off a faint silver light. Its body was as big as a barrel, and it contained boundless power. It stood up one-third of its body. It opened its mouth and bit towards Fu Wei. Fortunately, Du Ying was able to attack in time. The sword pierced the snake's body, causing it to feel pain and give up on attacking Fu Wei.
"It's the Silver Snake Mang!" Fu Ning exclaimed from the side and also attacked with his sword.
The Mang Silver Snake's First High Rank Spirit Beast was comparable to a human Advanced profound warrior. However, human medicinal martial artists were no match for medicinal Spirit Beasts of the same level. The Spirit Beast had a powerful body, and this was something that human medicinal martial artists could never compare with.
The silver python was pierced by the sword, and a bloody hole was opened. Immediately, its bestial nature was unleashed, and it gave up on Fu Wei. Its huge snake tail swept towards Du Ying , and at the same time, it spat out a mouthful of venom at Fu Ning.
Du Ying was a Profound Master of Middle Rank warrior, and his strength was much higher than that of a First High Rank Mang Silver Snake. He easily dodged the Mang Silver Snake's attack. The Fire Sword in his hand slashed dozens of times, and each strike landed on the Mang Silver Snake's body.
The Silver Mang Snake received a painful blow, and it kept letting out hissing sounds. The snake's body kept rolling around.
"Die!" Du Ying 's entire body was emitting killing intent. The long sword condensed a powerful profound strength, and with a flash, the long sword slashed across the neck of the Silver Mang Snake.
Snake blood splashed in all directions. A pungent smell of blood spread out.
Fu Wei looked at the Mang Silver Snake that was split into two, and immediately thanked Du Ying profusely.
"Hurry up and leave!" The Ling Xiao that did not make a move at the side urged.
As he expected, some Spirit Beasts were also very cunning. They knew how to ambush more than humans. As long as the timing was right, they would deliver a fatal blow to humans. If not for a terrified saber-toothed tiger running out just now, Fu Wei would probably have died in the stomach of a snake.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" The Ling Xiao took two steps and found no one following it. It could not help but frown and ask.
