Chapter 12 Encounter with a Strange Woman
In the evening, after Fang Xiu finished practicing, he looked at the bright moon and stars outside the window with a melancholy look. Since taking the magic beef during the day, the number of light spots in the spiritual sea remained at nine, and they did not break through to the second level of innate realm.
Add one more.
Not relying on resources such as elixirs to assist cultivation, but relying solely on absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation, is both time-consuming and inefficient for a spiritual practitioner with poor spiritual roots like him.
Martial artists can go to the back mountains to encircle and suppress monsters, so as a spiritual practitioner, I must be able to hunt down the monsters in the back mountains easily.
Cultivation will not make people tired. On the contrary, Fang Xiu was full of energy. After simply cleaning up the house, he opened the door and walked towards the back hill of Fang's house.
With his mental strength far exceeding that of a warrior, he easily evaded the patrolling guards, climbed over the wall, and disappeared into the forest.
In the evening, insects and snakes swim in the forest, the cold wind blows the trees and makes a rustling sound, and there are footprints of monsters on the muddy ground.
Passing through the forest, there are two large mountains ahead. There is a stream between the mountains. Under the moonlight, the water surface is sparkling. When you get closer, you can see that the stream is crystal clear.
Fang Xiu's eyes were attracted by the lights in the distance. After approaching quietly, he discovered that it was a garrison team of six people. They were wearing black armor, holding blood-stained spears, and looked around with vigilance.
.
During the day, the forest is far less dangerous than at night. There are leafy trees high up and bushes low down. One high and one low blocks the moonlight, plunging the forest into darkness. Nocturnal monsters begin to shuttle through the forest.
In various dark places, he began to look for his prey with his sharp eyes.
This is the only way to get to the back mountain. Once it is lost, the monsters will rush into Liangzhou City and hurt the people in the city.
Fang Xiu took advantage of the guard's inattention, crossed the stream from the side, and escaped along the rugged mountain road toward the forest in the distance.
After entering the forest, Fang Xiu did not act in a hurry. He had walked through the forest for several years and was well aware of the dangers involved. The seemingly peaceful forest was filled with a lot of dangers. If you were not careful, you would lose your life.
At least Fang Xiu was able to release his spiritual energy and release his mental power. After a while, he sensed the danger ahead.
It was a black panther half as tall as a man. Its open mouth was big enough to spit out blood, and its sharp teeth could easily bite a person's bones. It was dressed in black fur and paired with those terrifying eyes.
It has become the most dangerous monster in the forest.
"Whoosh!"
The black panther had been watching its prey for a long time and found the right opportunity to rush towards the gopher in front of it. Then, it tore the unprepared gopher into pieces and swallowed it in its belly.
According to Fang Xiu's visual inspection, this black panther only has the ultimate martial arts strength, but its agility and speed can completely crush the ultimate martial arts master.
After a moment, the black panther, as if it had smelled something, turned its attention to Fang Xiu who was squatting on the tree.
"die."
Fang Xiu quietly occupied a high position when the black panther was most engrossed in eating its prey, and when the black panther reacted, he stepped on the black panther's head.
The black panther had a strong body, and his round head was stepped on by Fang Xiu. His body was unstable, and he hit the ground hard, and he struggled.
Fang Xiu didn't know how much energy the second level of Xiantian Realm could unleash, but when he saw the Black Panther losing its struggle and having his head crushed, he understood his own strength.
In ancient times, Wu Song fought against tigers, and he only managed to kill the tiger with all his strength.
After Fang Xiu killed the black panther, he did not stay, but continued towards the depths of the forest, looking for the next target. The black panther is a low-level monster, and the blood flowing in its body is worse than a magic cow. If you choose to take a blood bath, naturally
You have to look for a monster that is one level higher than the magic cow.
The forest in the back mountain is very large, and apart from hunting a black panther, Fang Xiu did not encounter any other magical beasts along the way.
This surprised Fang Xiu, but not encountering a monster was not a bad thing. Blood bathing was not the only option to improve his cultivation. Compared with the disgusting blood bath, Fang Xiu looked forward to medicinal bathing more.
"Elixirs generally grow in places with strong spiritual energy. On this road, the only places with strong spiritual energy are mountain springs."
The long period of mental exposure made Fang Xiu feel a little tired. With his current cultivation level, Fang Xiu could only sense movement within a hundred meters.
After leaving the forest, a river appeared in front of us. Looking along the direction of the river, we saw a high mountain.
High on the mountain, a group of flying monsters wandered in the night sky, making frightening chirping sounds from time to time.
Fang Xiu felt that the spiritual energy here was extremely rich, so he began to sit cross-legged and quietly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
A quarter of an hour later, Fang Xiu opened his eyes again.
Although the spiritual energy here is rich, his miscellaneous spiritual roots still limit the speed of cultivation.
"It seems that we can only find new ways to practice."
Fang Xiu finally gave up and ran along the river towards the mountain spring.
Under the moonlight, a black shadow moved quickly along the river, with a strong figure jumping on the rocks.
"kill!"
At the foot of the mountain spring, six masked men in black rushed out from behind the rocks with fierce looks, waving machetes in their hands, and killed the woman who was retreating down the mountain.
The woman stood awkwardly on the rock, looking at the man in black who was gradually approaching, and looked up at the bright moon with a look of despair.
After running away for so long, she was tired and didn't want to run away anymore.
In this case, it is better to fight to the end, even if you die, you have to use a back-up.
"Miss, I advise you to be wiser. Hand over the treasure map and I will keep your body intact."
The man in black surrounded the woman on the rock, fearing that she would run away from somewhere else, and pointed the tip of the knife at her.
The woman smiled coldly, how could these people deserve to get the treasure map? So she weakly took out her dagger and killed the enemy.
From the moment he escaped until now, he hasn't had a moment's rest, and the wounds on his body have not been treated in time, and his clothes have already been dyed red.
Fang Xiu hid in the dark, just looking at the two groups of people fighting together, and began to make calculations in his mind.
Each of these masked men had extraordinary skills, and they were even more skilled with the machetes in their hands. But the injured woman, one against six, showed no sign of defeat.
Fang Xiu, who was originally just looking for the elixir, encountered such a trouble, and the idea of joining in the fun suddenly emerged in his heart.
The reason why they were chasing the woman was because of the treasure map in her hand. If a hero came to save the beauty, would the other party give them the treasure map in return?
Not impossible.
Ten minutes had passed since the fighting broke out. The woman who was surrounded by the masked men began to make mistakes. Facing such frequent attacks, she used her dagger to block less and less often.
But the woman had already fought with the opponent with determination to die. She completely ignored the knife on her body and quickly slashed the neck of a man in black with her superb pace and attack moves.
The spray of blood wetted everyone present.
