Chapter Eleven Help
Compared with the unease that night brings, morning always makes people feel very refreshed and comfortable, even in this mountain range filled with dangerous magical beasts.
Jiang Hao is now not only cultivating his battle aura, but also cultivating his soul power. Although his strength has surged to five stars, he suffers from a poor foundation. If he can cultivate his soul power to the Great Completion stage, his strength will definitely surpass that of warriors of the same level, and he will be able to go further on his future path.
The valley blocked the way for many, and with the dangers ahead, it was no longer something that their group could handle. The end of the valley was a vast cliff, towering into the clouds, breathtaking in its grandeur. As they ventured deeper, they constantly came across precious medicinal herbs, which Tie Shan and the others took without hesitation. Unfortunately, Jiang Heng had been searching for a second-tier water-elemental beast core but didn't find any; after all, if he could get it without spending gold coins, then Jiang Heng would have saved himself the trouble of buying one.
When Zifeng and the others found out that Jiang Huan needed a second-tier water-elemental beast core, they couldn't help but shake their heads. First of all, the Magic Beast Mountain Range was densely forested, making it most suitable for the survival of wood-elemental, earth-elemental, and fire-elemental magic beasts. Water-elemental magic beasts weren't non-existent, but those that could survive were mostly high-tier ones. Low-tier water-elemental magic beasts were almost invisible. The simplest way to obtain a water-elemental beast core would be to go to a coastal city, where low-tier water-elemental beast cores were practically worthless.
"Brother Zifeng, I don't know what kind of medicinal herb you're looking for this time. Let me see if I can help." Tieshan said as he walked along the mountain edge.
"Oh, it's a humanoid fruit. I've been searching for it in the Grand Luo Empire for a long time and received news that someone had discovered it here before, so I rushed over." Zifeng said casually.
"Humanshaped fruit, the legendary spiritual medicine, I've only heard of it, but never seen it before." Tieshan shook his head and said, "Looks like I won't be able to help either."
"Hehe, I came this time with a try-and-see attitude. If I really can't find it, I'll have to go to Shendu for a walk." As if very afraid, when mentioning Shendu, Zifeng's face changed.
"The terrain ahead is unfamiliar to me too, let's stick together." Tieshan said and went forward.
After walking for about half a time, the forest became denser and denser, with some places even forming a wall of trees that stretched for miles, which made both Jiang Huan and Zi Yu extremely surprised, after all, such scenes could not be seen outside.
"Be careful, it seems like there's someone up ahead." Zifeng stopped and said calmly.
Through the dense forest, a faint sound of fighting could be heard from ahead. Everyone held their breath and slowly moved in the direction of the sound. Unexpectedly, they encountered people here, and everyone was very curious.
Pushing aside the thick foliage, a small basin came into view. In the center of the basin was a group of blood-soaked men and a youth dressed in white, surrounded by a pack of demonic beasts - the notoriously ferocious second-tier demonic beast, the Thunderwolf. The Thunderwolf's speed was as swift as lightning, and due to its relatively small size, its body was exceptionally agile, often striking when you least expected it, putting you on the brink of death. Moreover, Thunderwolves were known to hunt in packs, so if you encountered one, immediate escape was necessary, lest you face endless pursuit and slaughter.
Everyone saw so many thunder wolves and took a deep breath, secretly sighing that this group of people were really unlucky, actually provoking a pack of thunder wolves. It seems that today they will surely die here.
"Hong Shu, you guard the left; Quan Shu, you guard the right. The rest of you, defend the rear. I'll take care of the front. Even if we die here today, we must annihilate this group of beasts." Suddenly, the young man in white shouted.
"Yes, young master." The crowd responded in unison, their eyes vigilantly fixed on the surrounding Thunder Wolves, their hands tightly gripping their weapons, ready to strike at any moment.
"Aooo." The pack of wolves let out a long howl, the momentum was truly shocking and frightening, causing Ziyu to squeeze closer to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao didn't mind, continuing to look ahead.
Only saw the wolf pack automatically divided into several groups, vaguely formed an array, and everyone was very curious. These beasts actually understood the way of joint attack.
That young man in white held a jade fan, and with a flick of his wrist, he actually formed a light shield in front of him. It was clear that the jade fan was a treasure. Looking at the other three sides, there was no such situation. The crowd was as still as cicadas in winter, waiting for the order to take action.
At this moment, the wolf pack made the first move. Four wolves, each from a different direction, charged forward in unison, creating a thunderous sound that reached the crowd's ears in an instant. However, it was clear that the crowd had been prepared for this. The young man in white robes raised his hand casually, and without any visible aura or energy release, the jade fan emitted a dazzling light. With a whooshing sound, four jade needles shot towards the four thunder wolves. In a flash of jade light, they pierced into the wolves' bodies, and with a deafening crash, the four wolves exploded into a mass of blood and flesh.
"Hmm! What a formidable treasure, with the speed of a wolf it can't even dodge, this young man is not simple!" Zi Feng sighed.
"Hmm, I've never seen such a powerful treasure before, it's really opened my eyes. This young man is only at the Martial Master level, but with that jade fan in his hand, he instantly killed four second-level demonic beasts. It's too unbelievable." Tie Shan was also shocked.
The young man in white robes barely blocked the attack in front of him with his jade fan, but the other three sides were not so lucky. The rear was constantly filled with cries of despair, and Lei Lang retreated after one strike, while more followed from behind.
"Master, what to do? We've already lost more than half of our men. Shall we return the humanoid fruit to them or else we'll have to stay here today?" The big man named Hong Shu struggled to support himself.
"Human-shaped fruit!!!!!!" Zifeng was just about to leave when he heard this and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Brother Zifeng, I didn't expect that the Human-shaped Fruit actually exists. It seems that this pack of Thunder Wolves is also surrounding these people for this reason." Tieshan also heard and said in surprise.
"Gentlemen, you've seen enough, please help us and I, Long Yan, will surely reward you with a handsome sum." At this time, the young man in white seemed to have noticed the commotion here and hastily shouted.
"Hmm? You can actually sense our presence. Heh heh, wanting me to make a move isn't impossible, but what about the cost?" Zi Feng said calmly.
"As long as Your Excellency can help us escape this predicament, whatever you demand, I, Long Yan, will certainly grant it." The white-clothed youth was now also at his last gasp, although he had the assistance of the mysterious jade fan, but the number of Lei Lang's wolves was really too many, and his battle energy had been exhausted.
"Human-shaped fruit!" Zi Feng appeared in person and said to the young man in white clothes.
"What? Human-shaped fruit? Young master, we can't give it to him. How many people have we lost for the sake of human-shaped fruit? How can we let him have it so easily?" Uncle Hong said hastily.
The young man in white hesitated for a moment, his face struggling, it can be seen that he treasures the humanoid fruit extremely, "If we all die, even if it's the best thing, I'm afraid we won't have the good fortune to enjoy it."
"Alright, as long as you take action, the human-shaped fruit is yours." As he spoke, he took out a jade box from his bosom and opened it, revealing a human-shaped fruit inside. On its surface, one could see lines of meridians, which seemed to have blood flowing through them, looking extremely peculiar.
"Take care of yourselves." Zifeng turned his head and said a sentence to Tiashan and the others, and the figure in mid-air slowly disappeared.
"Aooo." The wolf pack let out a series of mournful howls, as the heads of the Thunder Wolves suddenly exploded, blood and flesh flying everywhere. A purple figure slowly emerged from the wolf pack, like the Grim Reaper itself. The eerie figure split into two, then four, each one radiating a whirlpool of fierce battle energy. Any Thunder Wolf that got caught in the whirlpool was swallowed up without a trace. Yet more Thunder Wolves charged forward fearlessly from behind.
"Hmph!" As more and more Lei Lang wolves pounced over, Zi Feng's four shadows merged into one, standing upright in mid-air with his hands clasped behind his back, looking carefree.
Purple Wind slowly stretched out his hands, forming a strange seal, "Covering Heaven Seal". A cold and indifferent voice came from the void, as his hands slowly formed a dazzling light seal. The surrounding area of the light seal actually appeared with spatial cracks, which seemed to be an extremely powerful combat technique judging by its momentum. Purple Wind slowly threw the light seal towards the wolf pack, seemingly slow but also seeming to transcend everything, time seemed to have stopped, and in the next moment, a fierce storm suddenly blew up, everyone's eyes were unable to open, as if there was nothing else in the world except for this light.
When the light faded, the sun shone down again, and only then did everyone discover in surprise that the basin before their eyes had deepened by over a dozen meters, while those Thunder Wolves had all vanished, as if they had never existed in this world. A gentle breeze blew past, leaving behind only the sound of people constantly swallowing their saliva.
