The Tianling Mountain Range is a majestic and steep mountain with high mountains and dense forests. There are countless jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and there are even spiritual beasts who have successfully cultivated here.

At this moment, a chase battle was taking place in a forest outside the Tianling Mountains.

It was a handsome-looking young man, about fourteen or fifteen years old. He was wearing a shabby black robe and looked quite embarrassed. On the young man's back, he was carrying an old man covered in blood. The old man's breath was weak and his eyes were weak.

He was tightly closed, apparently falling into a coma.

"These beasts are really difficult to deal with," Jiang Chen took a few deep breaths and couldn't help cursing secretly. When he thought of what happened today, he became extremely angry.

Originally, he went into the mountains to practice as usual today, but who would have expected that he would encounter an old man who was seriously injured and dying in the mountains.

Originally, this was nothing. In places like the Tianling Mountains, warriors who came to explore were seriously injured or killed every day. Jiang Chen didn't think much and saved the people smoothly.

But not long after he left with the old man on his back, he unexpectedly ran into a group of Qingfeng wolves who were hunting. Those were Qingfeng wolves! Although they were just ordinary ferocious beasts, they were not something he could easily deal with, so

In the end, I had no choice but to run away.

"Damn it! There's no way to go on like this!" Jiang Chen frowned. He had been running away for two hours. Not only did he not get rid of the Qingfeng wolf, but he was slowly surrounded by wolves, and the most terrible thing was

Yes, he actually ran in the opposite direction, and even he himself doesn't know where he is now.

It is extremely dangerous to lose your way in a place like the Tianling Mountains, because there are not only ferocious beasts here, but also spiritual beasts with even more terrifying strength. If you encounter a spiritual beast, let alone him who is in the third level of Juyuan,

Even a strong man in the Kaiyuan Realm would have difficulty escaping unscathed.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Just as Jiang Chen stopped for a while, another wolf howl came from the jungle behind him. Jiang Chen's expression changed drastically. He dared not stop and continued running wildly with the old man on his back.

Time passed, and about two-quarters of an hour later, Jiang Chen, who was shuttling through the mountains and forests, suddenly stopped. It wasn't that he didn't want to run, but that a valley appeared not far ahead.

Jiang Chen looked ugly. Seeing a valley in this kind of mountain forest does not mean anything good. There might be powerful ferocious beasts living in it. He is currently being chased by a pack of wolves. If he encounters another ferocious beast,

The consequences can be imagined.

But having said that, if I try to take a detour now, I'm afraid it's already too late.

"Damn! Let's fight."

Jiang Chen hesitated for a while, then finally gritted his teeth, his heart changed, and he carried the old man on his back and headed towards the valley.

And the moment he entered the valley, there was a "swish" sound in the dense mountain forest, and then, more than a dozen behemoths rushed out, and they were a group of giant wolves as big as cattle.

Ouch!

More than a dozen giant wolves looked up to the sky and howled, their scarlet eyes full of cruelty. However, what was strange was that the wolves did not rush into the valley, but stopped where Jiang Chen had stopped before.

Here, after Jiang Chen entered the valley, he ran directly towards the interior of the valley.

The area of ​​this small valley is not large, only a few tens of feet in diameter. The valley is filled with mist, the plants are green, and there is even a strangely shaped fruit tree.

Jiang Chen carried the old man on his back and walked around the valley. The expected ferocious beast did not appear, which made him sigh in relief. If there were other ferocious beasts in the valley, then he would really have no way to go to the sky today.

No way.

Just find a hidden place to put the old man down. At this time, the howling of wolves outside has become louder and louder.

Jiang Chen's expression changed. Although there were no other ferocious beasts in the valley, the area was too small. Once the wolves rushed in, he might not be able to escape misfortune.

"It's his grandma's. It seems that he has to fight hard again." Jiang Chen murmured to himself, but his eyes showed an icy cold light. He took out a dagger from his waist, and then cautiously touched it out of the valley.

At the same time, outside the valley, the wolves were still guarding here. At this moment, an extraordinarily huge Qingfeng wolf walked out of the wolf pack. This wolf was different from other Qingfeng wolves. The ferocious wolf actually had a

It has long silver hair and is twice the size of other wolves. It looks majestic and has a powerful aura.

"Ouch!"

The giant wolf looked up to the sky and howled, as if a general on the battlefield was giving orders.

As soon as the other Qingfeng wolves heard its howl, they also moved and began to slowly approach the small valley.

However, at this moment, an invisible wave suddenly appeared centered in the small valley.

This kind of fluctuation is difficult to see with the naked eye, but its speed is extremely fast, just like ripples.

The first one to bear the brunt was the huge Qingfeng Wolf. When the invisible fluctuations passed by, it was majestic just a moment ago, but now it whimpered, and its huge body began to tremble as if it had been struck by lightning, as if it had experienced something.

Horrible things in general.

The surrounding Qingfeng wolves were roughly like this. Some of the unbearable ones were already lying on the ground, becoming extremely docile in an instant.

This weird phenomenon came and went just as quickly. It only took two breaths. When the invisible fluctuations dissipated, the wolves returned to normal.

But at this time, none of the wolves dared to stay any longer. Including the huge Qingfeng wolf, they all left with their tails between their legs, as if they were running away, and their speed was much faster than when they came.

When Jiang Chen tiptoed out with the dagger in hand, there was still half a shadow of Qingfeng Wolf outside.

"Ugh! These beasts actually left!"

Jiang Chen was a little confused. He didn't see what happened to the wolves just now. He originally thought that he would go through a fierce battle today, but who could have imagined that this would be the outcome.

He shook his head slightly. Although he felt a little strange, Jiang Chen didn't think much about it. After all, it was a good thing that the wolves could retreat. If there was a real fight, he was no match for those beasts.

Next, he wandered around the outside of the valley again. After finding no trace of Qingfeng Wolf, he returned to the valley with confidence.

In the valley, Jiang Chen came to the place where the old man was placed. Only now did he have the opportunity to explore the old man's injuries.

The old man in front of me looks very old. He has gray hair and a face full of wrinkles.

He gently opened the old man's clothes. Although he was prepared, he was still overwhelmed by the horrific injury.

I saw that the old man's body was covered with dense wounds. The wounds were like spider webs, criss-crossing, and gurgling blood, which looked quite scary.

In addition, there was a stab wound on the old man's abdomen. The wound was so deep that one could faintly see the squirming internal organs in the body.

hiss!

Jiang Chen took a breath. With such a serious injury, even a young and strong young man would not be able to survive, let alone an old man.

Although the old man is still calm at the moment, it is probably only a matter of time.

"What to do? Save or not." Jiang Chen hesitated.

You must know that healing medicine is not cheap. The old man was seriously injured. It would be fine if he could be saved, but if he could not be saved, the good healing medicine would undoubtedly be wasted.

"Forget it, since he escaped with me for two hours and didn't die, maybe he can be saved," Jiang Chen was silent for a long time, and finally decided to take a gamble.

With the decision made in his heart, he no longer thought about the unnecessary things. However, Jiang Chen did not immediately apply the medicine to the old man. Instead, he carried the old man on his back and walked towards the side of the valley.

When he came back just now, he found a cave in the valley. Now that the old man was so seriously injured, he had no choice but to go there to heal his injuries.

A quarter of an hour later, in the only cave in the small valley, Jiang Chen laid the old man flat on a stone slab, then rummaged through his package and took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle.

This porcelain bottle contains healing medicine. On the Tianyu Continent, healing medicine is undoubtedly a life-saving medicine for low-level warriors. It is extremely precious. The bottle in front of him cost Jiang Chen several months of his savings.

This was also the biggest reason why he hesitated to save the old man.

Gently uncorking the bottle, a medicinal scent hit his face. Jiang Chen poured some medicinal powder into his palm and began to apply the medicine to the old man.

For half an hour, Jiang Chen looked at the porcelain bottle that was missing most of the healing medicine, and his heart ached. These were all gold coins!

"Alas! I have done everything I have to do. Whether you can survive or not depends on your luck." Jiang Chen muttered a few words, casually took off his old robe, covered the old man with it, and then turned and left.

The interior space of the cave is very large, several feet wide. Such a large place is more than enough to accommodate a dozen people, not to mention two people.

I found a random place to sit cross-legged and escaped for a few hours. As soon as my body relaxed, a feeling of weakness suddenly came over me like a tide.

Jiang Chen's body trembled and his face turned pale. He didn't dare to neglect and quickly used the spiritual technique passed down from his family.

With the practice, the surrounding vitality that is invisible to the naked eye is refined and absorbed, quickly replenishing the depleted vitality in the body.

The spiritual art that Jiang Chen practiced was called Juyuan Art. It was not of high quality and only looked like a middle-grade mortal level. However, even though it was only a middle-grade mortal level, it was still very precious.

Time passed, and after an hour, Jiang Chen's Yuan Power, which was in the third level of Yuan Gathering Realm, finally recovered.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and his body suddenly trembled, and a strong black energy emitted from his body.

"not good!"

Jiang Chen opened his eyes suddenly, his dark eyes full of panic, but before he could take any action, the thick fog had already enveloped him.

A muffled groan sounded from the black mist. At this moment, the energy in Jiang Chen's body was uncontrollably swallowed by the black mist. At the same time, there was a creepy chewing sound, as if something was eating.

"Ahhh!"

Jiang Chen screamed in pain, and the feeling of his own strength being swallowed up was simply beyond words.

His screams echoed throughout the valley, and he didn't know how long this state lasted. When Jiang Chen felt that his cultivation level was about to fall, the thick black mist finally began to dissipate.

There was silence in the cave. Jiang Chen was lying on the ground with his back stretched out, his face as pale as paper.

"How could this happen? Doesn't it only appear when the cultivation level breaks through? Why is it advanced this time?"

No one answered him. Although Jiang Chen didn't know what the strange black mist was, he was not unfamiliar with it, because every time he was about to break through in cultivation, the black mist would appear, but it would only swallow some energy.

Just walk as hard as you can, and the pain won't be as unbearable as it is today.

Besides, he showed no signs of breaking through today, but the black mist still appeared.

Jiang Chen's expression was so ugly that it would be difficult for anyone to accept that the Yuan Power they had worked so hard to cultivate was swallowed up.

Over the years, the reason why his cultivation level has been growing slowly has something to do with this weird black mist. It’s not that Jiang Chen hasn’t found someone to look at it, but the strong men of the Jiang family are also helpless against this black mist, and in the end they have no choice but to give up.

That’s it.

After something like this happened, Jiang Chen was no longer in the mood to practice, so he simply got up and walked out of the cave.

It was getting late outside at this time, with stars in the sky and bright moonlight. Jiang Chen walked around the small valley and picked up a lot of dry branches to prepare for how to spend the night.

The night in the Tianling Mountains was extremely restless, and beasts roared from outside the small valley. Jiang Chen knew without looking that they must be ferocious beasts passing by one after another.

This is the time to test a person's psychological strength. For a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, spending the night alone in the Tianling Mountains will undoubtedly drive him crazy.

Although Jiang Chen was born bold, he was frightened when he heard the roar of the beast. He had no time to think, hugged the dry branch, and ran back to the cave as if he was running away.
