Chapter Thirty-Five: The Pack of Spiritual Beasts
As long as he didn't see or feel the death of a living being with his own eyes, Huo Hai wouldn't have any murderous intent. Although it felt a bit like self-deception, it was currently the best way to solve problems.
After repeated inquiries, Ji Mu was certain that He Hai's actions were not a problem, and only then did he carefully follow He Hai to continue advancing. The people who had just been killed had all been taken care of. Such things, He Wang probably wouldn't dare mention either. A mere He Wang, as long as it wasn't the entire He family taking action, He Hai didn't need to worry for the time being.
We're already very close to Nan Shan. Nan Shan isn't a particularly large mountain, so we don't have to worry about going too deep. The spiritual beasts here are at most only equivalent to the Spiritual Realm, and were probably taken care of earlier.
Those who came to deal with Nan Shan, reaching the spiritual realm were not few. This is the foundation and power of Huang Cheng Academy, far surpassing a mere Western Border. Extremely cautious, the two quickly got along with the first spiritual beast.
Huo Hai narrowed his eyes, letting Xing Huang scout the surroundings before confirming that he had the cards he needed. A command emerged in his heart: "Kill." He then severed his connection with Xing Huang. Closing his eyes, he adjusted his fluctuating mental state.
After a long time, Huo Hai opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Ji Mu's worried gaze. "Huo Hai, are you okay? If not, we can withdraw first. I don't know what you want to do with so many points, but I can lend them to you." Ji Mu was really worried that Huo Hai would have a problem. If he himself got lost, then what's the point of having so many points anyway.
Even Ji Mu wanted to lend the family's points that he had been using to cultivate himself to Huo Hai. These points were not a problem for Ji Mu to use himself, but if he gave them to someone else, it would put tremendous pressure on his family.
Huo Hai shook his head, his eyes calm and unruffled: "There's no problem at all, this method is effective. Now just go take a look, if there's still no problem, then it's fine. Don't worry, if it's really not good, I'll withdraw."
Accumulating points and refining the Blood Dan, after all, is to serve the purpose of self-improvement. Huo Hai cannot put the cart before the horse, for the sake of improvement, he would not make himself a madman. He doesn't have any deep grudges or hatreds, nor does he have anything that he must do even if it costs him his life. How could he be like those main characters from before, who, in order to increase their strength, wouldn't care about anything else?
Huo Hai has a clear understanding of himself, he is not the main character and does not have an immortal body. It's impossible for him to be in any dangerous situation and still manage to survive stubbornly. Therefore, his top priority is to protect himself well and avoid getting hurt at all costs.
The two quickly walked forward. During this time, I believe Xing Huang had already cleaned up everything. When the two arrived here, indeed, there were only signs of struggle on the ground and a mark left by a spiritual beast.
The corpse on the ground had long since disappeared, and Huo Hai knew that it was eaten by Xing Huang. However, it didn't matter, as he couldn't see it, it wouldn't stimulate him. In fact, there wasn't even a drop of blood left on the ground. He couldn't help but admire how good Xing Huang's teeth were. If not for having Xing Huang with him, who knows what the outcome would have been this time?
"After going back, I must cultivate more star worms. These are still far from enough." Huo Hai deeply felt that there were too few star worms around him. After all, these were just the products of his own experiments, and it was only an accidental success.
Next time, I'll have to make more. At least for a long time, Huo Hai can only rely on these star charms to protect himself and deal with his enemies. Improving combat skills, even improving his own cultivation, requires a lot of time. What Huo Hai lacks most now is time. That's right, he lacks time.
Although there was nothing going on, Huo Hai always felt a sense of unease, as if time was running out.
When did this feeling start? It seems that after seeing the scene of a black dragon devouring the sun, I had this feeling. It's really a disgusting feeling, now thinking back, it feels like my heart is being pressed down by something.
No matter whether it's an illusion or not, in short, quickly enhance your strength, this is urgent. When he was indulging in flights of fancy, Huo Hai had already collected the cards. A Ling Blood Boundary spirit beast with dozens of integral cards by its side, very normal.
"Let's go, there are still many spiritual bone realms' spiritual beasts inside, these are our goals." Huo Hai said a sentence and continued to walk in with Ji Mu. Now it was no longer a question of whether Huo Hai would bring her or not, but how to hurry up and leave. Moreover, after entering the depths of the forest, if Ji Mu were allowed to act alone, Huo Hai wouldn't be at ease either.
Ji Mu nodded, the deeper they went, the more dangerous it became. Now, even Ji Mu didn't have the mood to joke with Huo Hai anymore. He also didn't know how strong his insect was, whether it could handle the Ling Bone realm's spiritual beast.
Although I killed one last time, it was unexpected and had a great deal of luck. It's easy to ambush the spiritual beast, but if you're ambushed by the spiritual beast, it's just as easy to be killed. Ji Mu doesn't want to die, so he can only be more careful from now on.
It turned out that the beetle's power was indeed terrifying. Along the way, there were no spiritual beasts that noticed these beetles at all. Letting Huo Hai leisurely investigate all the intelligence clearly. All the way, all the sneak attacks were initiated by Huo Hai. There wasn't a single spiritual beast that could get close to them without being discovered.
Whether it's a spiritual body, spiritual blood, or even a spiritual bone boundary beast, being ambushed by the Star Gu will result in annihilation within a short period of time. The accumulated points card on Huo Hai's body also increased as a result. Even his own pockets were no longer able to hold them.
For this, Huo Hai even used a special cloth bag to store these point cards. Even if Huo Hai didn't count the number of point cards in his hand, there were already several thousand. The elixirs needed for the Spiritual Blood Realm were already sufficient. Now what he needed to earn was the elixir required for the Spiritual Bone Realm. A tenfold price increase wasn't something ordinary people could bear.
Missing this opportunity, it won't be easy to earn a lot of points later. Gritting his teeth, Huo Hai decided to continue deep into the South Mountain. If there aren't enough points, he will turn over the entire South Mountain.
Unconsciously, the two of them had already walked to the very center of Nan Shan. Continuing forward, they might be able to leave the Nan Shan area from the other side. Of course, this place was guarded by someone and would absolutely not allow casual entry or exit.
At this moment, Huo Hai's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he made a cautious gesture. Even his footsteps suddenly became quiet: "What's going on, did you discover something? Is there a Linggu Bone Boundary Spirit Beast?" Ji Mu asked in a low voice, Huo Hai's behavior at this time was really too cautious. It wasn't that they hadn't seen Linggu Bone Boundary Spirit Beasts before.
But even if they did, they had never seen him so cautious before. It would be better to launch a direct attack. After all, it wasn't him who was going to do the attacking. Those beetles were indeed very powerful, and their bodies seemed to be extremely hard, capable of easily killing the spiritual beasts.
Even now, it seems that those insects have not lost much. If Ji Mu knew that the Star Gu of Huo Hai had not lost a single one until now, I wonder what kind of expression he would have. It has to be said that the Star Gu is really too hard.
"Speak softly, a large group of spiritual beasts has been discovered ahead. I don't know what's going on either, let's be careful and take a closer look." The large group of spiritual beasts was information obtained from Xing Huang, but as for the specifics, Huo Hai wasn't clear either. Xing Huang didn't have the ability to provide Huo Hai with too detailed intelligence yet. Being able to do this much was already quite good.
The two observed the surrounding terrain, and finally found a very tall tree in one place. Here, it was just possible to observe the place that Huo Hai said, and also would not be noticed by others.
After Xing Huang investigated and didn't find any danger, Huo Hai climbed up the tree. For the two of them, climbing trees was still very easy. A moment later, they arrived at the top of the tree, took a look around, and were immediately stunned.
"My goodness, how can there be so many spiritual beasts gathered here? You, you won't really provoke them, will you?" Ji Mu didn't notice that his own voice was trembling. This is a large group of spiritual beasts, this is absolutely a group-living type.
Even the Ji Mu knew that this thing was called Tie Jia Quan. Generally, it's similar to wolves and dogs, they are all pack-type creatures. The Tie Jia Quan itself doesn't have any particularly strong attacking abilities, just a layer of iron-like fur that is extremely defensive. In general, it's very hard to cause harm to them. But if there are many of them, it's not so easy to deal with.
This large group, at least over a hundred Iron Armored Dogs. Moreover, among them, more than twenty had reached the Spiritual Bone realm. This is not all, most importantly, there was one extremely powerful Iron Armored Dog that had even reached the Spiritual Being realm.
Huo Hai narrowed his eyes, gazing at the Ironclad Hounds from a distance. After a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind: "Well, this is the largest pack in the vicinity. If they also have point cards here, then I'll take action."
I don't know if the Imperial City Academy has stored any points cards among these iron-armored dogs. Huo Hai plans to investigate first, and once he finds them, no matter what, he must destroy them. As for the points, Huo Hai really needs them too much. Ji Mu looked at Huo Hai with an incredulous face, this guy was so confident that he could deal with a spiritual beast in the Spiritual Realm.
To know, reaching the spiritual realm, one has transcended the yellow level and reached the mysterious level. Once at this level, even if one cannot possess special attribute abilities, they can still freely use powerful spiritual energy to attack.
Spiritual power can transform at will, with overwhelming force. Even if his insects rush up, they would be wiped out piece by piece. The attack of spiritual power is vastly different from ordinary physical attacks, and its power cannot be compared.
