Rumbling

  The explosion was like a thunderclap on the ground, deafening and piercing, with shockwaves spreading out in all directions, whipping up a fierce gust of wind that sent leaves flying everywhere.

  Ahh...

  The screams were heart-wrenching and blood-curdling amidst the explosions.

  Blood splattered everywhere, and after a flash of green light, the Blood-colored Human Bear appeared before Wang Chen's eyes.

  Its entire body was covered in crimson fur, which was now dancing in the air, and the remaining bits on its body were also charred and curved.

  A fist-sized blood cavity appeared in the throat of the bloody human bear, with fresh blood gushing out like a fountain.

  "Roar......"

  However, what shocked Wang Chen was that despite this, the Blood-colored Human Bear remained standing upright.

  No wonder it's one of the strongest defensive and persistent demon beasts! The Blood-colored Human Bear, stimulated by pain, roared again and charged at Wang Chen.

  "Tsang-lang behead!" Without giving anyone a chance to breathe, Wang Chen once again pounced forward.

  This time, his main target of attack was concentrated on the throat of the Blood-colored Human Bear.

  Perhaps feeling the life force constantly flowing away, the Blood-colored Beast suddenly burst out again in its last moments, causing its body to rapidly swell by a third.

  "Go crazy!" Seeing this scene, Wang Chen was shocked in his heart, secretly calling out that something was wrong, and hastily dodged to the side.

  The Blood-colored Human Bears go berserk, instantly boosting their strength to the level of a high-ranking three-stage demonic beast. Only a few Blood-colored Human Bears with pure bloodlines and superior innate abilities can unleash this at critical moments.

  Once Blood-colored Beast King unleashes its berserk mode, its strength will increase dramatically, rivaling that of an 8th stage Spirit Martial Cultivator. Ordinary non-Respected martial artists are generally unable to kill it.

  Wang Chen's scalp felt numb at the thought. Fortunately, the person-bear was now on the verge of death, and even such an explosion could bring it a boost. However, it couldn't last long, and he believed that if he could just drag out some time, the wound in its throat would be enough to kill it.

  Thinking of this, Wang Chen began a guerrilla war, delaying the battle time, using his speed advantage to constantly dodge and counterattack.

  The angry roar of the blood-colored bear is endless.

  However, the roar gradually became smaller and eventually hoarse and powerless. About five or six minutes later, the blood-colored bear slowly fell to the ground in a low-pitched roar, losing its breath.

  Rushed to the front of the blood-colored bear, took out a small knife from his bosom and started harvesting.

  A three-tiered intermediate red elixir appeared in Wang Chen's hand.

  This is the ninth third-grade demon pill he has obtained, and it is also the first third-grade intermediate demon pill. Wang Chen killed his first third-grade intermediate demon beast in his life.

  After gathering everything, Wang Chen hurriedly ran towards the distance. The bloody smell here would soon attract other demonic beasts, and the commotion from the battle earlier might have already caught the attention of adventurers.

  Even if it doesn't attract other people's attention, the area along the water flow is also a place where people often come and go.

  For adventures within the Thorny Mountains, the Waterfall Area is always a crisis-ridden area, the most dangerous place, where monsters and adventurers emerge endlessly.

  After walking about 500-600 meters ahead, Wang Chen faintly heard a mournful howl and a groaning sound. Hearing these sounds, with a hint of puzzlement, he approached in that direction.

  Soon, a figure of an injured person appeared in his line of sight.

  The injured man, with tattered clothes and covered in blood, had the corpse of a third-grade primary demon beast lying next to him. His body was filled with scars all over, looking extremely ferocious.

  Obviously, these are personnel who were injured after experiencing a major war before.

  The corpse of the monster had clearly been looted, apparently another internal conflict caused by greed, and this person was undoubtedly an adventurer abandoned by his teammates.

  "Save... save me, please save me!" It seemed that he saw Wang Chen, and the man turned his head with difficulty, looking at Wang Chen and begging in a hoarse voice.

  Looking at this person and listening to his pleading voice, Wang Chen hesitated for a moment, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  After a moment of silence, he slowly walked towards this person.

  He walked up to him, looked at his injuries all over his body, and Wang Chen took a deep breath.

  He was badly injured, and apart from several non-fatal scratches on his body, the most fatal wound was a sword cut on his waist. Obviously, if he were left here, he would only be waiting for death.

  Hesitating for a moment, Wang Chen went forward and helped the man up, then walked towards a temporary hiding place he had chosen.

  Back to the landing point, helped him clean up a bit, changed into a set of clothes, took out the leaving sect only those offerings given by the elders sent to his wound healing sacred medicine, evenly applied to the wound!

  After doing all this, Wang Chen let out a breath, and at this time, the wounded man had already fallen into a deep sleep.

  At this moment, Wang Chen had already seen clearly the appearance of this person, a martial artist about twenty-two or three years old.

  Although he knew that there was no room for sympathy within the thorny mountain range, Wang Chen still couldn't bear to leave him there to become a monster's food.

  Standing afar and looking at Wang Chen, Ling Zhan let out a faint sigh at this moment.

  This little guy's heart is still too soft and doesn't have the qualities that an adventurer should have. In the end, he isn't a true adventurer.

  If it were an ordinary adventurer, it would be good not to kick them when they're down, let alone do something like this! However, it's also not possible to blame Wang Chen, if it were Ling Zhan, he might have done the same thing too. Now all that can be done is to guard against this guy a bit.

  …………

  Several days later, with the help of the healing sacred medicine brought out by Xīng Chén Zōng, the adventurer rescued by Wáng Chén had recovered a lot from his injuries and was able to walk independently. The remaining sword wound on his waist had not yet healed, but this situation no longer prevented him from leaving Jīng Jié Shān Mài alone and returning to the outside world.

  Of course, on the premise that he is lucky and doesn't run into powerful demons or get ambushed by others.

  "Huo Yong, it's enough for me to be tempered in the Thorny Mountain Range alone. Let's part ways here. Your injuries are almost healed too, you can leave the Thorny Mountain Range." On this day, before setting off, Wang Chen said to Huo Yong beside him.

  After a few days of getting along with him, he also knew the name of this guy and why he was injured.

  Just as he had expected, it was after the beast hunt that he saw him injured and his teammates abandoned him. Thinking of this, Wang Chen couldn't help but sigh!

  Now that he's recovered from his injuries, it's naturally impossible for Wang Chen to continue on with him. It's only right that they part ways! On the other hand, Wang Chen also felt that having someone like him following by his side made him feel uneasy, as if he had placed a time bomb next to himself. It's better to separate early on.

  Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, Huo Yong immediately furrowed his brow and revealed a hint of anxiety, saying: "Benefactor, this thorny mountain range is extremely dangerous. Even with the two of us together, we must be extra cautious. To be honest, although my injuries have recovered, it's still too perilous for me to return alone. How about I follow you instead? I can help you fight together and don't need any demon beast materials or resources!"

  "I can try it out by myself!" Wang Chen said calmly.

  "Alright, I'll go myself. Let's walk together first and split up later when it gets safer ahead! This section is quite dangerous, but it will be much better once we get past the front!" Seeing Wang Chen refuse, Huo Yong continued, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

  "Suit yourself then." Wang Chen stopped talking and continued walking forward alone.

  Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, Huo Yong's face broke into a smile as he immediately rushed up from behind, but his gaze occasionally swept over the package on Wang Chen's back with a hint of eerie light.

  "This package contains a lot of medicine and good things." Huo Yong secretly guessed in his heart, because the things Wang Chen used to heal him these past few days were all taken out from this package.

  Among them are precious and rare things, taken outside, these things are more valuable than the materials of the demon beasts.

  Of course, he didn't know that the package was only made when Wang Chen was unconscious in order to prevent his suspicion. With storage space, what did Wang Chen need a package for?

  Following behind Wang Chen, Huo Yong's expression kept changing: "The Wang Chen in front of him is only 16 or 17 years old, and his strength doesn't seem to be particularly strong, but from the things he took out, it can be seen that his identity is not simple, maybe he is a young master of a noble family who sneaked out to try."

  At this point, Huo Yong's expression became somewhat excited.

  And then in about seven or eight minutes, the opportunity finally arose.

  Two people were walking in the woods when suddenly a strange beast's shadow flashed by in front of them, quickly running towards the distance. It was a single, first-class demon beast. Wang Chen paid slight attention to it and then didn't put it in his heart.

  But this move was just giving Ho Yung an opportunity.

  A glimmer of greed and excitement appeared in his eyes. The short knife in Huo Yong's hand stabbed swiftly and mercilessly towards Wang Chen's back!

  Feeling the chill behind him, Wang Chen suddenly turned around, his feet flashing with a ghostly step, and in an instant he appeared beside Huo Yong. One hand grasped Huo Yong's right wrist, which was holding a short knife, while coldly staring at Huo Yong, his eyes even colder, he said in a chilly voice: "What do you want to do?"

  "Ho Yung was shocked, he couldn't believe that his attack from behind had been blocked as if the opponent had sensed it."

  "Go die!" After reacting, Huo Yong glared at Wang Chen with a ferocious expression, his short knife swiftly slashing towards Wang Chen.

  Once you've made your move, there's no room for withdrawal or second chances.

  "Looking for death!" Seeing the incoming short knife, Wang Chen didn't flinch, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and twenty overlapping wave palms suddenly slapped out to take the initiative to attack.

  At the same time, his feet moved quickly in a ghostly step, and the ghostly steps flickered, giving the opponent no chance to attack.

  Boom boom boom...

  Several consecutive twenty-overlapping palm waves, Wang Chen neatly and efficiently heavily injured Huo Yong.

  A Ninth-Grade True Martial Artist, the current Wang Chen didn't think much of him. Under several successive Overlapping Wave Palms, Huo Yong suffered a severe blow.

  Blood kept overflowing from his mouth, and a hint of horror and resentment flashed in his eyes. He couldn't believe that this youth who looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old actually possessed such formidable strength. At the very least, he had already entered the ranks of a Spiritual Warrior! Who exactly was he?

  "What?!" Looking at Huo Yong, Wang Chen's eyes were icy cold.

  "Thistle Mountains, no friends! Only benefits!" Huo Yong said resentfully, staring fiercely at Wang Chen and gazing enviously at his package.
