Volume 1: Frost Star City Chapter 119: Hu Suan's Turmoil, Flower Reflected in the Moon
The mad dash in the dark of night is still ongoing, this is like a stress test, any warrior who can't withstand the pressure will be eliminated from this team without exception.
Whoosh!
A dark shadow fell from the middle of the mountain, as if someone had lost their footing due to excessive fatigue and fallen off the cliff.
The team continued to advance rapidly, with no one looking back at him. The intermittent cries of pain from the valley suggested that the warrior was injured, but soon the cries disappeared, and it was unknown whether the warrior had lost his life.
Snap!
Three elixirs were handed over to Su Ning by Su Dong, which were the Aggregating Spirit Elixirs looted from Dan Master Jiao Lianlian. They were not of a high grade but could effectively enhance one's physical strength.
Suning and Sodong are different, Sodong can rely on his strong spiritual power reserve to speed up continuously, while Suning has almost no spiritual power, relying on his robust physical strength. After several hours, Suning is already panting heavily.
Su Ning was taken aback, and he threw a dan medicine into his mouth and chewed it up. Soon, the magical effect of the Jiling Dan began to take hold, Su Ning's physical strength greatly increased, and his eyes shone with excitement. If Jiao Lianlian hadn't lied, one dan medicine should be enough for Su Ning to last the whole night.
The team rushed all the way, for a whole night, without even one minute of rest, until the east began to show a fish-white color, and the team finally stopped at a steep mountain pass.
Young warriors fell to the ground one after another, panting heavily as if they had just returned from hell.
Su Fu Nian smiled slightly and said, "You kids can't even handle this? I've told you before. This trip to the God's Wall isn't a vacation, it's a battle! Since those guys from the Demon Realm don't play by the rules, we'll have to use our own methods to counterattack!"
"On the first day of rapid march, seven people fell behind. I'm very dissatisfied with this result! Let me tell you the truth, as long as Su Fu is here, you young ones won't be able to return to the Spirit Realm unless you shed your skin! Now start resting, and tonight we'll continue the forced march, also eight hundred miles!"
"Eight hundred miles again!? Is this some kind of mistake?!"
"It's fine to march during the day, why must it be at night?"
As soon as Su Fuyuan's voice fell, complaints arose one after another. Su Dong suddenly found that his elder brother was so strict and didn't care about the seven people who were either dead or injured after falling behind on the road.
Su Tingfeng and Su Tingyu quietly gave a thumbs up to Su Dong and Su Ning, apparently congratulating them on being able to keep up with the team.
Su Fuyuan had already made it clear earlier that as the commander of the First Legion, he would not give Su Dong and Su Ning any special treatment. He wouldn't even acknowledge them, everything had to be achieved through their own efforts.
After saying that, Su Fu Nian disappeared on the spot, leaving behind more than 800 young warriors who were both tired and sleepy, staring blankly at the cliff.
In the realm of gods, these were all top-notch individuals who lived well and ate well, but now they had to camp out in the wilderness, which left them quite at a loss for a while.
Afraid of falling off when lying on the branches, afraid of rolling into the mountain cliff when sleeping on the precipice. Not to mention that even the snakes and insects in the mountains made these young people cry out in suffering. The insects in this mountain have all become spirits! Mosquitoes are as big as fists! One bite and it's a bloody abscess.
Su Dong and Su Ning were born in the north, so they weren't afraid of these things. Su Dong took out two hammocks from his star ring, and the brothers hung them on the branches of the trees, lay down and fell asleep, looking comfortable.
No matter what, it's not possible to not rest at all. As a result, the 800 or so young warriors were sprawled out in various sleeping postures, some leaning against trees with their eyes closed, cultivating their spirits. The warriors from the divine realm didn't have anything else, but they had plenty of equipment, taking elixirs and drinking potions to desperately replenish their strength.
Su Dong had the Qimen Dafa instrument, so he didn't worry about his spiritual power. The spiritual energy in the mountains and fields slowly gathered around him, and Su Dong slowly absorbed it. After just one morning's rest, Su Dong recovered more than 90% of his physical strength, looking no different from when he set out last night.
Slowly opening his eyes, Su Dong looked around and found that most of the warriors were already fast asleep, with Su Ning snoring loudly.
Whoosh!
Su Dong sprang lightly out of the hammock and retraced his steps, soon descending the mountain to arrive at a small river below.
All I saw was an old man with gray feathers sitting on a large stone in the middle of the river, with his feet in the water, looking very comfortable.
Su Dong smiled slightly and walked over, also sitting down by the river.
"You guys are really desperate on this road, worthy of being a team from the Divine Realm." Gray Feather said with a smirk.
There was a hint of sourness in Huiyu's words, probably because he had discovered Su Dong's true identity and found it hard to accept for the time being. After all, the Divine Realm was an unattainable existence in the eyes of the people from the North. Su Dong, who used to be close with Huiyu, suddenly became a person from the Divine Realm, making Huiyu feel somewhat lost and sensing a distance between them.
Su Dong smiled and said, "This team is quite strong, but many of them are young people with little actual combat experience. You haven't seen their various strange expressions when they camp in the mountains, as if they've suffered greatly, just one look and you can tell they're too pampered."
Huī Yǔ turned his head and said, "You're so young, yet you speak with such an old-fashioned tone. Aren't you also very young? Never mind, I won't bother arguing with you about this anymore. Have you figured out our destination?"
Su Dong said in a low voice, "It must be the north, but the team I'm in shouldn't engage in a head-on battle with the Dark Blood Clan. After all, there are too few people in this team, and most of the warriors are skilled at reconnaissance. I estimate that when we arrive in the north, we will first probe the enemy's situation, and then launch a main attack from behind."
Kokoro said, "I think so too. Otherwise, you wouldn't be frantically practicing your speed instead of coordinating during battles. As for the Divine Realm's affairs, our Spirit Beast clan doesn't want to get involved at all, but we need to protect Lord Tod to prevent him from getting caught in the crossfire between the Divine and Demon Realms."
"Although you get along with us pretty well, most humans are hostile towards our tribe of spiritual beasts."
Su Dong nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you. If we don't run into Todd, that's fine, but if we do, I'll help you keep him safe."
That day after Su Fuyuan left, Su Dong told several beast kings about this matter, and they decided to follow Su Dong.
The Divine Realm is willing to take action against the Dark Blood Clan, which will be of great help to the Forgotten Continent. Otherwise, the Spirit Beast clan had planned to unite with the Southern Human Army and fight a desperate battle against the enemy.
Although only 6,800 people came out of the Divine Realm, their combat power was something that neither the Spiritual Beast Clan nor ordinary humans could match. Dealing with the Dark Blood Clan shouldn't be a problem.
The key is that these spirit beasts are too loyal, they fear that the gods' domain or the dark blood clan's people will hurt their own power god Todd, so they decide to follow behind the first legion, if they really encounter Todd, they must protect him with their lives.
Su Dong couldn't persuade them, it was as if it was the fate of the Ling Beast clan to desperately protect their two gods, and these two so-called gods were still not grateful enough, leading a group of warriors who respected themselves the most to engage in internal strife, killing each other, all of whom were their own people, how desolate can it be.
According to Su Dong's meaning, it would be better for Ziya and Todd to die one by one, so as not to let the Ling Shou tribe slaughter each other. Unfortunately, this is just a thought, if Su Dong says this out loud, the few beast kings will definitely turn against him. Moreover, Bai Xiaoya is actually the reincarnation of Ziya, and Su Dong really can't bear to hurt her.
Huī Yǔ let out a sigh and said, "Nothing's going on, so I'll be off. This time, our Ling Shou clan didn't bring many people, but they're all elites among the various tribes' elites. Following your group isn't a problem; the key is that you don't treat us as enemies and kill one of us with a sneak attack."
Su Dongdao said, "If it really is the case, I will explain to Uncle clearly. Besides, I still have the golden whistle you gave me. One sound means safety, two sounds mean retreat, and three sounds mean need support. Just remember the password."
"I understand, a big shot from the realm of gods."
Huiyu smiled wryly and said a sentence, revealing his true form, swooshing up into the sky, disappearing quickly beyond the horizon.
Su Dong felt a sense of discomfort in his heart, now that he had learned about his origins. The few beast kings immediately kept their distance from him, which was also understandable. The Forgotten Continent was abandoned by the gods, and Su Dong himself had also spoken ill of those behind the Gods' Wall in the past. He never thought that he would become a member of the divine realm himself.
Just as he was about to return to the First Legion's campsite, Su Dong suddenly discovered that a pair of eyes were staring at him from the nearby woods, and it turned out to be Qin Yin!
"You?" Su Dong was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise.
"Who are you? Are you surprised to see me? Are you human or ghost? You disappeared from the Divine Martial Battlefield, but now you're here on the Forgotten Continent? And you have connections with the Spiritual Beast Clan? Could it be that you're a spy for the Demon Realm?"
No wonder she's Little Chili Pepper, Qinyun just kept talking non-stop with a self-righteous look on her face.
Su Dong furrowed his brow and said, "How are you a person from the Divine Realm? Isn't the Divine Martial Battlefield in the Eastern Sea's Thousand Islands?"
Qin Yue also furrowed her brow, shouting in a sharp voice: "I haven't even asked you yet! You actually don't know where the Divine Martial Battlefield is? What's with this 'East Sea Thousand Islands', East Sea your head!"
Jumping knife!
Whoosh!
Su Dong suddenly appeared in front of Kotone, holding a dagger to her throat and said in a low voice: "If you think you can grasp my handle and threaten me, then you've miscalculated. I don't like being threatened."
"How dare you kill me?" Qinyin's voice trembled as she spoke, Su Dong's knife moved suddenly without warning, releasing a fierce killing intent without any reserve, the drastic change before and after made it difficult for Qinyin to believe.
"The Ling Beast Clan is my friend, if you treat them badly, it will harm many people. Killing one of you to save thousands of my friends, this deal is worth it!" Su Dong said with a gloomy face.
Qin Yue pouted and said, "Making friends with a spiritual beast? You're a freak! It's fortunate that Hua Yingyue was worried you couldn't find her. In fact, you didn't want to find her at all! Men are all heartless!"
Su Dong was completely speechless, furrowing his brow and saying: "What's going on here? How did it get dragged to Huaying Yue again? I don't know anything about her business, besides, I don't owe her money, why should I go find her?"
"Haha, it seems that I underestimated you, you're actually ruthless and merciless!" Qinyun said even more sharply.
Su Dong felt that his head was very big, and Qinyue's nickname "Little Chili Pepper" wasn't just for show, it was simply overwhelming!
Su Dong Zheng was hesitating about what to do when a few soft coughs came from the woods.
