Chapter 10: The Battle of the Pig King's Spirit
"It's almost there! It's arriving soon!"
Jiang Cheng's eyes were fixed on the giant tree one mile away, where a vine branch had been entwined for many years. At this moment, the hanging vines on the giant tree seemed like a great savior to Jiang Cheng.
The distance of the Bloodtooth Boar King who had been chasing him relentlessly from behind was getting closer and closer, from the initial two or three hundred steps to the current forty or fifty steps.
Jiang Cheng could even feel the tremendous vibrations brought by each of Xue Yang's footsteps, as if he would be trampled into a pulp at any moment.
Although his legs were already heavy as lead, Jiang Cheng still didn't stop urging himself on.
Life and death, success and failure, all depend on this moment.
500 meters!
300 meters!
When they were still two hundred meters away from the giant tree, Jiang Cheng turned his head to glance at Xue Yang's Blood Toothed Pig King, whose eyes were bloodshot and nose was spraying white air. His figure paused for a moment, and his speed suddenly slowed down by a notch.
However, this slight slowdown instantly shortened the distance between Jiang Cheng and Xue Ya Zhu Wang to less than thirty steps.
A distance of twenty or thirty steps means that Blood Tooth Hog King can knock Jiang Cheng down with one pounce.
Seeing its prey suddenly slow down, the Bloodtooth Boar King couldn't help but excitedly let out a frenzied howl. As it howled, a shocking red glow suddenly surged out from all over its body. Its originally stout physique suddenly expanded by a circle, and yet its speed didn't decrease, instead increasing.
Pig King Rampage!
Jiang Cheng was shocked and took a cold breath, the speed that had just been deliberately lowered suddenly picked up again, but in this instant, the distance between Jiang Cheng and Xue Ya Zhu Wang narrowed to within twenty steps.
Almost at the same time, Xue Ya Zhu Wang went crazy and let out a loud roar, his body suddenly rising high into the air, opening his bloody huge mouth wide, and fiercely pouncing towards Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng, who had been observing Xue Ya Piao Wang's movements, revealed a relieved expression on his face as he saw this scene. He lightly pulled the nearby vine branch and quickly climbed up with both hands, his entire body swinging like a monkey.
Xue Ya Zhu Wang just made a futile attempt.
However, the massive body of Xue Ya Zhu Wang did not stop after pouncing into the air, but instead fell directly into the depths of the enormous and extremely difficult to detect canyon in front of him.
Zhōu Wáng's body burst into a brilliant red glow as he let out a series of furious roars, but they were completely ineffective.
Only Jiang Cheng was left, suspended in mid-air on the wisteria vine branch, wiping away cold sweat as he stared at Xue Yang's Blood Toothed Pig King which was plummeting down into the valley like a cannonball.
This gorge was discovered by chance when Jiang Cheng was searching for a place to rest at night in the previous few days. The edge of the gorge was overgrown with vegetation, and the other side was relatively low, so Jiang Cheng almost fell off at that time.
Just in the nick of time, Jiang Cheng thought of using this natural gorge to deal with the Blood Toothed Hog King.
Even if the Blood Toothed Hog King is powerful, it still can't fly.
Boom!
A deafening rumble like thunder erupted, as if an earthquake had struck, causing the ground to shake violently. Rocks and mud on both sides of the canyon fell down like rain, and even the vines that held Jiang Cheng swayed violently with the shaking trees, scaring him into jumping down quickly.
Just kidding, judging from the depth of this canyon, it should be around a kilometer, even if not a thousand meters, at least seven or eight hundred meters. Not to mention seven or eight hundred meters, even one hundred meters, Jiang Cheng would definitely die.
As for Xue Ya Zhu Wang, Jiang Cheng felt that the possibility of survival was extremely low.
Think about it, a guy weighing over 50-60 tons falling from a kilometer-high altitude, after experiencing gravitational acceleration, will produce how much impact force?
Jiang Cheng couldn't calculate the exact value, but it was absolutely a terrifying number.
After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly became fiery hot as he gazed out at the thousand-meter-deep canyon.
The Bloodtooth Boar King, 99% gone, but that Bloodtooth Boar's body is a treasure trove. Those half-foot-long tusks, once polished, may not be as good as the Red String, but they're several times, dozens of times better than the ordinary hunting knives in our tribe.
That tough and fine steel-like blood boar skin is also a top-notch material for armor, of course, what attracts Jiang Cheng the most is that the Blood Tooth Boar King might possess a Beast Spirit Pearl. Possessing a Beast Spirit Pearl means having the possibility to own a fierce beast battle spirit that Jiang Cheng needs.
The probability of a Bloodtooth Pig King having a Beast Spirit Pearl is absolutely several times or even dozens of times higher than that of an ordinary Bloodtooth Pig.
Jiang Cheng took a look at the canyon and found it extremely steep. If he hadn't possessed his war soul, he would have been unable to descend, but now it wasn't a difficult task.
In fact, when the river narrowed down to half its width, it was discovered that this canyon is even deeper than he had imagined, possibly reaching as much as 1,500 meters.
However, when Jiang Cheng arrived at the bottom of the valley's rocky beach, he was still startled.
Because Chiyou is still alive.
But even if it's alive, the appearance is still unbearable. The hard ground was smashed out of a large pit, four legs irregularly folded together, and the huge body almost piled into a ball. Fresh blood has accumulated in half of the pit.
Jiang Cheng felt a little relieved, because according to Ah Gong's words, the fierce beast's war spirit would generally disperse completely within half an hour to an hour after the fierce beast's death if it was not controlled by a secret method.
The red string blade flashed out, Jiang Cheng stabbed a knife towards Xue Ya Zhu Wang's forehead, and first see if there is a beast spirit pearl before saying anything.
Bang!
Flames bursting everywhere!
The sword surprisingly didn't cut in, which shocked Jiang Cheng and also made him more grateful for his decision. Otherwise, the Blood Tooth Pig King in front of him wouldn't have been possible to kill by Jiang Cheng.
The top-grade fierce beast on the Yellow Level can be compared with a martial artist in the Man-Eating Realm.
Shuang Sha grasped the knife and Jiang Cheng leapt high into the air, using all his strength to slash downwards, finally breaking open a gap. He inserted his fingers and pressed down.
Jiang Cheng's face suddenly lit up with joy, and a small, warm bead the size of an egg was already clutched in his hand.
Spirit Beast Pearl!
He slightly calmed down, Jiang Cheng grasped the blood-colored beast spirit pearl in his hand, and with a faint red glow, he lightly scratched open his own forehead with his fingernail, dripping his own fresh blood onto the beast spirit pearl.
It's a strange pearl, this somewhat hard beast spirit pearl. After dripping onto Jiang Cheng's fresh blood, it seemed to be like a sponge that absorbs water, sucking up Jiang Cheng's fresh blood until not a drop was left.
With fresh blood as the guide, summon the war spirit!
As the fresh blood on Jiang Cheng's forehead seeped in, a phantom beast-like shadow suddenly emerged from the Beast Spirit Pearl, roaring as it followed the trail of fresh blood on Jiang Cheng's forehead and violently drilled into his body.
Roar!
The moment the war spirit of Xue Ya Zhu Wang rushed into Jiang Cheng's mind, he let out a series of furious roars. A vicious and violent aura that seemed to have substance began to crazily impact Jiang Cheng's divine sense, as if it wanted to devour his divine sense whole.
Grandfather said, this moment is the most critical moment, the time when the will of a martial artist is tested.
If one's will is not firm, they will be eroded by the war spirit and become a monster that only knows slaughter.
Will is an existence that cannot be clearly stated, but it can be seen everywhere.
Jiang Cheng also didn't know how to possess the strongest and most tenacious will.
But Jiang Cheng could be certain of one thing - he had to survive, no matter what.
Grandfather's eager eyes, Songyue's expectation, Shiti's hope.
Not just this, there is a more wonderful world waiting for Jiang Cheng to explore, Jiang Cheng wants to have even greater power...
So he must live on!
I must survive!
Just like he has over the past five years, from a weak and ordinary high school student, growing into the best hunter of the Kusakabe tribe.
That's willpower!
In an instant, the war spirit of the Bloodtooth Boar King, which had just been raging incessantly, was struck as if by lightning, and all the bloody light around its body dissipated, transforming into a pure orb of light.
It's just this time.
Jiang Cheng, who had long been instructed by his grandfather, saw the pure war spirit light group appear in an instant, and with a move of his mind, he activated his own Boar War Soul.
Stirring up his own war boar soul to absorb that pure Bloodtooth Boar King's battle spirit light sphere.
But at this time, it's time to rely on luck, according to Jiang Cheng's understanding, it's time to rely on one's character.
According to Ah Gong's words, the probability is very small.
When absorbing a battle spirit weaker than oneself, the success rate will increase several times. However, when absorbing a battle spirit stronger than oneself, the success rate will rapidly decrease.
This process is similar to their devouring of spirits, it's just that Agong himself has only succeeded once in his life, when he broke through to the Devouring Spirit Realm, under the blessing of the Ancestral Totem Pillar, consuming more than a dozen battle spirits.
However, Jiang Cheng's chances of awakening as a Tian Xing Zhan Hun are slightly higher, but not by much.
Under Jiang Cheng's powerful will, his Mountain Boar Warrior Soul suddenly stirred and charged towards the Blood Toothed Pig King's War Spirit Light Ball.
Just as Jiang Cheng's mountain boar war soul was stirring, the black tower pillar that had been dormant in his mind for a long time reappeared. The tower suddenly emitted a black glow, absorbing both the Blood Tooth Boar King's war spirit and Jiang Cheng's own mountain boar war soul into it.
Jiang was taken aback when he saw it.
PS: I was deceived by the express delivery. Originally, this week was going to rely on recommendations to hit the charts, but unexpectedly the contract didn't arrive, and the recommendation was cancelled.
Now, I can only ask for help from brothers, please help Brother Pig with all his might!
Thank you!
