Chapter Seven: The Storm is Coming

  The first move of the Barbarian Elephant Gun Technique is called the Barbarian Elephant Flip. With one flip, the earth shakes and mountains tremble, producing immense power. Besides mastering the Barbarian Elephant's divine rhythm, it also requires grasping various forces. Although the Barbarian Elephant Gun Technique appears to be a fierce and powerful style on the surface, Xiao Yi saw that the changes in force within it are actually a balance of hardness and softness. In other words, one must not only be able to wield heavy objects as if they were light but also wield light objects as if they were heavy.

  This is not ordinary, Xiao Yi secretly cursed, the cultivation of the twelve heavenly veins, but it's just a threshold, the spiritual will has not reached the ordinary higher realm, and the understanding of lightness and heaviness is also impossible to thoroughly cultivate, even if forced to use, can't exert 100% of the power.

  The broken spear lies across his knees, Xiao Yi's quiet heart is contemplating, just the first move of the barbarian elephant flipping over has become extremely complex, far beyond what the Wind and Thunder Spear Technique can compare to. Without sufficient spiritual power, even contemplation may exhaust one's brainpower, leading to backlash.

  The whole day passed, and Xiao Yi finally opened his eyes. A sharp breath emanated from his eyes, and the broken gun hummed, as if it would shoot out at any moment. Xiao Yi gently stroked the gun body, this broken gun was becoming more and more spiritual, he vaguely knew everything that had happened that day, whether it was the spirit of the broken gun that revived on its own or the residual soul left by the original owner, Xiao Yi couldn't judge, but at least now, this was a great warrior, at least in the Bloodstone Tribe, there was no one who could surpass him.

  He walked out of the military camp, Xiao Yi left the tribal mountain wall and directly entered the Pan Lei mountain range. In the desolate ancient forest, poisonous insects were all over the ground, tigers and wolves roamed horizontally, but for Xiao Yi now, it was negligible. He just released a wisp of spiritual will, and ordinary low-ranking wild beasts retreated three houses away. Poisonous snakes and ants couldn't even get close, and ten or so meters away, they were shattered by his spiritual world, and their vitality dissipated.

  He had gone deep into the mountains for over a hundred miles, and Xiao Yi arrived in front of a hidden cliff. The purple-black cliff was devoid of any grass, and at its foot was a massive cave. The cave was profound, and from time to time, it emitted muffled thunder-like sounds, and an aura that made one's heart palpitate spread out. Within a hundred feet around the area, beasts cowered, and snakes and ants retreated.

  Xiao Yizhi knew that in this cave, a superior desolate beast, the six-eared black bear, was dwelling. Similarly, in the den of this six-eared black bear, there existed a rare and precious herb that had already reached an age of one thousand years, the Thousand Year Purple Ginseng.

  The Six-Eared Black Bear, as a superior desolate beast, not only possessed innate divine power but also had extremely keen hearing, covering an area of dozens of meters, and no sound could escape its ears. Although its spiritual will was slightly weak, it still had the absolute strength of an ordinary higher-level boundary. The first time, Xiao Yi discovered its lair, he didn't dare to get too close and retreated. That thousand-year-old Purple Bamboo was also just a glimpse. Today, he came here to try to seize that Thousand-Year Purple Bamboo again. With his current methods, even if he couldn't seize it, he could still retreat unharmed.

  His whole body's aura was retracted, his footsteps silent as he walked towards the depths of the cave. He sealed off his breathing, even closing up all the pores on his skin. The Six-Eared Black Bear had an extraordinary innate talent, its hearing couldn't be measured by ordinary standards. If it wasn't careful, all its previous efforts would be wasted.

  Deep in the mountains, they arrived at the den of the Six-Eared Black Bear, a cave over 100 meters in diameter. The dark red rocks emitted large amounts of heat, and on the ground lay a massive black bear, about 4-5 zhang tall, with sharp quill-like fur all over its body. On top of its head grew three pairs of large ears, which even in sleep, kept flapping, listening to sounds from all directions.

  This is the Six Eared Black Bear, even if they are separated by dozens of feet, Xiao Yi can still feel the majestic blood and energy within its body. Even a general hundred-man commander-level strongman cannot compare to this. This is the innate talent of the Wild Beasts, their physical bodies are robust, their massive bodies can withstand more blood energy.

  Not far in front of the six-eared black bear, there was a spring eye. The spring eye was several meters in size, and the spring water gurgled out from time to time, with warm mist rising and carrying a faint fragrance. Xiao Yi knew that this was a terrestrial spring that had been filtered through the rock magma at the bottom of the mountain for years, and its long-term consumption could remove impurities from the body, having the effect of washing away impurities and strengthening the bones.

  In the center of the Earth Heart Spring, above the spring eye, a thousand-year-old purple ginseng is rooted, its roots not entering the soil, but deeply into the spring eye. The crystal-clear purple ginseng emits a faint purple light, and the fragrance of ginseng overflows. This is to absorb the essence from within the Earth Heart Spring to strengthen itself. This thousand-year-old purple ginseng can reach such an age so quickly, which has something to do with this Earth Heart Spring. Any precious medicine or treasure above 500 years old will not have an ordinary growth environment. The refinement of its efficacy does not come out of thin air; even the seeds of spiritual medicine must find a suitable environment to take root and grow vigorously, otherwise it will disappear into the vast earth and become an ordinary product.

  Dozens of feet away from the Six-Eared Black Bear, Xiao Yi stopped in his tracks. He knew that although the Six-Eared Black Bear had fallen into a deep sleep, its spiritual will was still shrouding most of the cave, and with its keen sense of hearing, among the top-ranked ferocious beasts, this Six-Eared Black Bear could be considered one of the most vigilant.

  Xiao Yi's spirit and will converged, under the protection of the six-eared black bear, wanting to steal something was simply a fool's dream. He accumulated his strength and struck with all his might, seeing if he could seize that thousand-year-old purple ginseng.

  In the Hundred Foot Cave Heaven, breathing can be heard. The six-eared black bear's breathing sounds like thunder rumbling, which is its strong and vigorous energy flowing inside its body, bursting out with each breath in an astonishing display of power.

  Rumble!

  Just as the six-eared black bear was about to take another breath, Xiao Yi made his move. In this instant, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue - his footsteps shook the ground, and he charged forward with ferocity, like a wild elephant on the rampage. The eleventh style of the Wind and Thunder Gun Technique burst forth in all its fury, as if his body were a thunderclap and his gun a flash of lightning. A seven-foot aura of energy shot out from him, piercing through the air and sending out wave after wave of deafening roars. Two pale waves of energy shot out to either side like a pair of white silk ribbons.

  Ah!

  The momentum of the barbaric elephant has already taken a step forward, charging into the spiritual world of the six-eared black bear, beginning to trample and destroy, shaking its spirit.

  Roar!

  Just as Xiao Yi made his move, the Six-Eared Black Bear woke up, as if waiting for him. The majestic blood energy surged, and in the boundless spiritual world, a six-eared black bear appeared, roaring continuously. However, when it saw the green-scaled elephant in front of it, it suddenly shuddered. Although it didn't recognize the green-scaled elephant, the aura emanating from its body made the Six-Eared Black Bear feel a chill down its spine, a feeling that came from deep within its bloodline.

  Buzz!

  Two forces are colliding, between Xiao Yi and the Six Eared Black Bear. A transparent ripple spreads out, but Xiao Yi remains unmoved. The Barbaric Elephant's spirit suppresses the spiritual world. As for his comprehension of the Barbaric Elephant Diagram, Xiao Yi has already taken a huge step forward. Now he can rely on his imagination to summon the Barbaric Elephant's spirit and suppress all external evils. As long as it's not an opponent with spiritual power far exceeding his own, he can use the Barbaric Elephant's spirit to overpower them.

  Although the six-eared black bear's spiritual world was shaken and dizzy, it still judged that danger was approaching with its strong hearing. The next moment, its huge body suddenly moved sideways by several feet, and the bullet that had originally pierced its chest cavity fiercely entered its left arm, and the gunpowder exploded, instantly bursting open a blood hole the size of a human head.

  Roar!

  The six-eared black bear let out a mournful roar, emitting a shrill whistle. Xiao Yi took advantage of the momentary distraction to retreat and dash towards the thousand-year-old purple bamboo, arriving at the Earth Heart Spring in just one breath. He stretched out his hand and plucked the thousand-year-old purple bamboo from the spring's eye, roots and all, without losing any momentum. With a single turn, he charged towards the cave entrance.

  The sudden change left the six-eared black bear at a loss, its left shoulder pierced, greatly reducing its speed. It only chased out for dozens of yards before disappearing into the cave tunnel, and Xiao Yi's figure was no longer seen.

  Rumble!

  As soon as he came out of the bear cave, Xiao Yi heard a shocking earthquake-like vibration from within the cave, along with the furious roar of the six-eared black bear. It was clear that it had been enraged to the extreme, and the thousand-year-old purple ginseng that had been guarded for decades or even hundreds of years was thus snatched away by humans. Without hesitation, Xiao Yi's figure was like the wind, and he plunged into the dense ancient forest.

  ……

  Tens of miles away.

  A leg shadow flashed by like a raging wind, shattering several thousand-year-old ancient trees that were as thick as several people could hug. Suddenly stopping, it transformed into a short-haired young man. The young man wore black leather armor, his eyes gleaming fiercely, and suddenly a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  "The Crazy Wind Leg has finally been fully mastered! Taotie Feng, Shi Taiyi, Mu Xue, are you all ready?"

  At the same time, in several directions of the Panlei Mountains, a few people looked up, their bodies surrounded by a turbulent aura, like a raging tide sweeping across, with bloodstained feet and ferocious beasts lurking nearby.

  Bloodstone Tribe

  In a stone temple, bursts of thunder suddenly rang out, the thunder shook the air and was clearly audible within a hundred feet. A moment later, a young man from the Fire Mountain tribe stepped out, wearing a flame ape skin armor, his black hair fluttering, his eyes dim, but with a powerful blood aura flowing through his body.

  Outside the city, on a bluestone building, Chiyan Qianfu Zhang and Qianyuan Qianfu Zhang sat facing each other, sharing a hot spring. Upon hearing the sound of thunder, Qianyuan Qianfu Zhang's eyes flickered slightly, then smiled: "Your department indeed has an endless supply of talent."

  Chi Yan's smile deepened as he shook his head: "Brother Qian, you're being too serious. Your department is actually the one that's been hiding its strength, and all four of the young generation's top powers are extraordinary."

  The top of the mountain behind.

  In front of the bluestone statue, on the edge of the cliff, Shi Lei and seven others sat cross-legged, their bodies shrouded in an invisible force. The sunlight fell upon them, and it seemed as if a layer of golden light had been cast upon their bodies.

  At the foot of the mountain.

  A cyan stone temple. Shi Qiren stood quietly in the courtyard, his eyes fixed on the mountain behind, his gaze piercing, and finally disappeared. He stretched out his hand and grasped it, a cyan iron spear shot out from the cyan stone house and fell into his hand, emitting a loud spear cry.
