After the golden-winged leopard had thoroughly disappeared, the two of them finally relaxed their facial expressions and immediately descended to the ground with the flying boat.

  "Brother Lou, please protect me!"

  As soon as the flying boat landed on the ground, Li Hui jumped down and took out a bottle of Rejuvenating Elixir from his storage bag. He tossed one into his mouth and sat down cross-legged to meditate.

  Lou understood the situation of Li Hui at this time, holding a long knife in his hand, with his spiritual consciousness fully spread out to cover all directions within a radius of several miles, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

  Half a time later, Li Hui finally opened his eyes, stood up and looked at Lou Sui Feng who was guarding beside him: "Thanks for your trouble, Brother Lou."

  "It's all because of me that Brother Li is implicated, has Brother Li's spiritual power recovered?" Lou Suifeng waved his hand and said.

  "It's already recovered by 40%, let's leave this place first."

  Lou understood from Feng's words that Li Hui was afraid that the Golden Winged Leopard would return and take revenge on them.

  The two of them immediately rose into the air and flew off in the opposite direction from which the Golden Winged Leopard had escaped.

  ……

  Two hours later, in a mountain stream with rapid water flow in the middle and scattered huge rocks on both sides, two flashes of green and white light suddenly appeared, falling onto a large rock to reveal their figures, who were Li Hui and Lou Suifeng.

  "Brother Li, we have flown five hundred li away by now. I think that Golden Winged Leopard would not be able to find our tracks even if it went back and forth."

  Li Hui nodded: "That golden-winged leopard was seriously injured and should also need to rest for a while to recover, we retreated just in case, now it should be safe."

  After leaving the Great War, the two of them rushed for five hundred miles without stopping to get here. Along the way, they communicated with each other through sound transmission and figured out why Lou Sui Feng was being hunted down by this Golden Winged Leopard.

  Originally, the building was accidentally discovered by a golden scale leopard with only the initial foundation of its cultivation. For a moment, it moved its heart and wanted to take it as a spiritual beast, so it didn't directly kill it, but instead brought its own spiritual beast Xiao Hei to chase after it.

  Unexpectedly, I inadvertently strayed into the territory of this golden-winged leopard and was chased and killed by it all the way.

  Every time when being chased, Lou Feng and his spiritual beast Xiao Hei would join forces to entangle the Golden Winged Leopard for a while before taking advantage of the opportunity to escape. However, one person and one beast were always at a disadvantage, and they were also injured and exhausted from fleeing. Later, that Golden Winged Leopard, in a fit of rage, caught up with the two and ruthlessly struck down, severely injuring Xiao Hei, who was unable to escape. In desperation, Lou Feng could only let his spiritual beast self-destruct to momentarily block the Golden Winged Leopard, allowing him to narrowly escape before meeting Li Hui.

  The two of them took a short break, and then Lou Feng thought of his spirit beast Xiao Hei again. His face was filled with regret and self-blame: "It's all my fault for being too rash, otherwise Xiao Hei wouldn't have ended up like that because of me."

  "Brother Lou doesn't have to be too self-reproachful, I think the golden-scaled leopard you discovered is probably related to this golden-winged leopard, which is why it was lured into its territory." Li Hui comforted.

  Lou nodded with a somewhat gloomy expression: "This Golden Winged Leopard is indeed an aberrant species of the Golden Scaled Leopard. It's all because I was momentarily inattentive, that's why I fell for its trick."

  Li Hui's heart skipped a beat as he asked: "That day, when I heard the words of Lu Tong, the leader of the city guard, it seemed that Brother Lou's family was skilled in the way of beast taming?"

  Lou nodded slightly and said, "Our Lou family in Tianhu City is among the top in the Beast Taming Dao in the entire Xia State's Xiu Zhen realm. Brother Li, you must also have some research on this dao?"

  Li Hui smiled slightly: "I am indeed a bit curious about this strange technique."

  "If Brother Li is really interested, after this matter is settled, he can go to Tianhu City for a spin. At that time, I will also be able to fulfill my duty as the host."

  Li Hui's heart moved upon hearing this, but he also didn't decline: "If there is an opportunity, I will definitely go to Lord Lou's residence for a visit."

  In the Yuanchang Xianfu, there was still a dragon egg at this time. During this period, Li Hui could clearly feel that the dragon inside had taken shape, and the spiritual fruit on the accompanying tree had also matured, but it was slow to hatch, and he was also a little worried. If he could find some classics in this building for reference, it would be even better. After all, he only relied on some simple methods from the jade slips obtained from the Wan Shou Zong foundation-building cultivator to subdue it.

  ……

  Twenty days later.

  In a thicket, a wild boar-like monster with a body several zhang long and high, two fangs protruding from its mouth, each several chi long, and black bristles on its back standing upright like steel needles, was devouring the carcass of a wild deer.

  "Hiss!"

  Suddenly a dark light flashed through the air and shot towards the wild boar's body.

  "Boom!"

  Just as the black light was within a few feet of the wild boar, the boar suddenly turned around, its massive head shaking violently, and the black light was blocked by several feet long fangs. A pair of blood-red eyes stared intently ahead.

  Whoosh!

  Two figures appeared tens of feet ahead, who were Li Hui and Lou Suifeng.

  "The reaction of this wild boar is not slow either." Lou said lightly to Li Hui beside him.

  "Then let's see your magical powers!" Li Hui crossed his arms in front of him, looking like he was enjoying the show.

  "Li Hui, don't mock me anymore. On this journey, I've truly seen your abilities, and previously I still had some doubts, thinking that you must have relied on some special treasures to perform so outstandingly in the City Guard's assessment. Now, I have no choice but to admit it." Lou Suifeng said with a hint of disappointment.

  After these twenty-odd days of interaction, the two have truly become familiar with each other and become close friends, directly addressing each other by name, no longer using the formal titles "Brother Li" and "Brother Lou".

  "Ahh!"

  That wild boar let out a harsh, ear-piercing screech, its eyes gleaming with malice as it glared at the two people in front of it.

  "Haha, you dare to provoke me? Watch as I send you to reincarnation!" Lou Suifeng laughed and his long knife shot out again.

  Hmph... Huh......

  That wild boar and Lou were entwined in a fierce battle, while Li Hui stood by and watched without intervening.

  "Pffft!"

  In an instant, a dark light flashed, and the long knife of Lou Suifeng pierced through the eyes of the wild boar, directly penetrating its skull.

  "Boom!"

  The giant corpse of the demonic boar crashed to the ground, and Lou stepped forward with the wind, retrieving his long knife. With a wave of his hand, he stored the demon beast's corpse in his storage bag.

  "After all, it's still not as clean and efficient as Brother Li!" Lou Sui Feng said somewhat despondently.

  After traveling together for some time, they encountered formidable and troublesome demonic beasts, which the two of them would tackle together. Ordinary demonic beasts would be handled by one person, while the other stood by to provide support.

  The two of them were also secretly competing with each other, seeing who could kill a monster first.

  As for the distribution of these demon beast materials, the two of them will split it evenly, while others who acted on their own will keep their own spoils.

  "Haha, now we're only 3,000 miles away from the Divine Wind Camp. I'm afraid you won't have many chances to catch up with me." Li Hui said with a relaxed tone and a hint of teasing.

  At this time, there are only five days left until the assessment in two months, and the two of them are also on their way back to their garrison. The materials obtained from the demon beasts during this period are not small either, and the two of them estimate that they should be enough to pass the assessment of the Divine Wind Camp.

  Along the way, the two didn't rush and whenever they encountered any demonic beasts, they would descend and hunt them down.

  "Let's go, I reckon others are also on their way back. We should head back early too. As long as we stay within a hundred miles of the Kamikaze camp, it's basically safe." Li Hui said.

  The two of them immediately rose into the air and rushed towards the direction of the Divine Wind Camp.

  Two days later, the two were less than a thousand miles away from the Shenfeng camp. At this time, they were slowly driving the flying boat forward, and occasionally, dozens of miles around, they could see flashes of light rushing forward, it seemed that they should be fellow cultivators who also participated in the assessment.

  "Li Hui, I don't know if we can rank in the top few places again this time?"

  "It's hard to say, those who come to participate in the assessment probably also have some real skills and hidden methods. As long as you and I can pass the assessment, that's good enough."

  At this time, it was less than a thousand miles away from the Jin Feng campsite. There were basically no golden elixir stage demon beasts appearing, and the two of them were also relatively relaxed, chatting idly as they rushed along the road.

  After flying for a number of miles, a wisp of fragrance suddenly wafted through the air, like the smell of roasting meat.

  Lou's face changed with the wind: "Li Hui, did you smell it? It seems like someone is roasting meat in front."

  Li Hui's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he nodded: "Indeed, it seems like the smell of roasted meat."

  At this moment, a sword light suddenly appeared in front of them, and after a few breaths, it arrived in front of the two, revealing its figure. It was a white-clothed young man with a smile on his face and a kind complexion, who greeted the two by saying: "So it's two fellow Taoists, I thought there might be some kind of monster passing through this place."
