Tang Fei and Zhang Xiaomo sat outside to protect Tang Shaokun.
Tang Shaokun was the only one left in the cave.
Holding the snow ginseng in his hand, Tang Shaokun was filled with emotion. After decades of warming and nourishing, the strength of his meridians and Dantian still could not meet the requirement of carrying sixteen times the concentration of true energy. It seemed that eight times was enough.
His limit is now.
At first he was unwilling to admit this fact and spent every day practicing hard. But after so many years, he began to feel discouraged.
The only way to advance has become to swallow the elixir. Tang Shaokun's lifelong dream is to pursue the ultimate in martial arts. When he grabbed this snow ginseng, his heart began to throb.
But his strong willpower allowed him to resist this temptation. He could not swallow the snow ginseng and wanted to keep it to give the Tang family hope for the future.
There was still some faint disappointment in Tang Shaokun's heart, but now, the hope of the descendants of the Tang family suddenly appeared, and it seemed difficult to bring the snow ginseng out of the vast mountains. Tang Shaokun's fiery heart burned again.
"Let me... advance to the tenth level of peak!" With slightly trembling hands, he lifted up the snow ginseng that exuded a strange fragrance, and Tang Shaokun swallowed it with hot eyes.
"Gudu!"
When the snow ginseng entered his body, it immediately turned into a monstrous amount of energy and burst out in his body. Tang Shaokun was slightly shaken and quickly closed his eyes to concentrate on refining.
…
The members of the team came back one after another, still bringing with them quite generous trophies. After a while of busy work, the hares and pheasants were all plucked and stuck on wooden sticks for barbecue.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Fei stood up and announced: "Everyone, please pay attention. My uncle's injury should be fully recovered this afternoon. Let's continue walking into the mountains to see if there is any hope of finding the village leader and the others."
People responded noisily.
At noon, the same air fluctuations as in the morning were heard in the cave again, which stunned the team members who were eating.
"What? Has someone broken through to the tenth level again?" Liu Feng murmured with a dull look on his face.
Peak tenth-level experts are rarely seen on ordinary days. Less than ten people have been born in the entire county in a hundred years. However, in just one day, two tenth-level experts were born in this little-known mountain ravine.
The pinnacle of strength.
The next moment, Tang Shaokun walked out of the cave in high spirits, and everyone was stunned by the invisible aura emanating from his body.
The whole place was shocked, and after a long time, surprised comments and commotion spread among the crowd.
"Damn it, you idiot, pinch me quickly. I'm not dreaming. When did tenth-level masters become so common..."
"Oh my god, I must be dazzled!"
"Hmm, can you advance to the tenth level by staying in a cave for just one day?"
"Stop talking nonsense, Zhang Xiaomo also stayed in the cave for a day, and it's not like he hasn't advanced yet..."
…
The commotion gradually subsided after a long time, and the pressure in everyone's hearts could not help but relax a little. With the addition of two tenth-level masters in their team, their safety was greatly guaranteed.
At least they no longer have to be frightened when encountering tenth-level beasts like the bloodthirsty leopard.
"Okay, everyone, hurry up and eat. We will leave immediately after eating!" Tang Fei said directly.
After a quick lunch, everyone walked towards the deep mountains.
Along the way, Tang Shaokun and Sha Wanli were at the front, while Tang Fei and Zhang Xiaomo stayed at the back of the team.
Tang Fei turned his head to check from time to time, always feeling that there was a cold gaze staring at him from behind, but when he turned his head, he was surprised to find that there was nothing.
"It's really weird. Could it be that I've been so tired these past two days that I'm hallucinating?" Tang Fei thought silently, scratching his hair.
"There is indeed a creature following behind, but that creature is extremely cunning and only approaches once every once in a while..." Mengyao sent a message to Tang Fei at this time.
"Teacher, do you also feel that something is wrong behind the scenes?" Zhang Xiaomo asked with a slight frown.
Tang Fei nodded affirmatively, and then said: "Well, something is following us, so be careful..."
Zhang Xiaomo nodded.
The two people walking at the end became cautious, scanning the area behind them with the corners of their eyes.
It was not until evening that the procession stopped.
Tang Shaokun came over and discussed, "It's getting late, why don't we rest in this area?"
Now Tang Fei has undoubtedly become a leader-like presence among the crowd, because the fifty-four team members under his name have developed almost blind trust in him.
Tang Fei looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed not too early. He nodded and said, "I'll listen to your arrangements, uncle..."
Everyone found a relatively open area to rest. Sha Wanli led a few people to fetch water from the surrounding springs. Liu Feng and Xueli led people to find food, and the remaining people picked up food here.
Dry branches, ready for fire.
Tang Fei and Zhang Xiaomo patrolled the unwanted areas of the camp. Soon, Tang Fei discovered traces of large beasts moving around the camp: "It seems that those beasts have chased them to the camp. Damn it, I still can't get rid of them..."
"
This creature is most likely the giant wolf that Zhang Xiaomo mentioned before. If a beast like the giant wolf were to fight one-on-one, Tang Fei would now be absolutely sure to kill it. A tenth-level warrior could deal with a ninth-level beast.
, it is indeed very easy.
But giant wolves are social animals. Once they find prey, they will call their companions over.
Too many ants can kill an elephant, let alone a ninth-level beast. Even Tang Fei and Tang Shaokun, two tenth-level masters, may not be able to protect themselves from the attack of a pack of wolves, let alone there are so many people who need their protection.
.
Tang Fei felt a little panicked. Everyone obeyed his orders. It could be said that he controlled everyone's destiny now. If these people died in the mouth of the giant wolf, he would blame himself to death.
"What should I do? If Yahan were here, she would be smart enough to find a way. But what should I do if I am alone?" Tang Fei squatted on the ground and said with a distressed look on his face.
"Tang Fei, you are in a desperate situation now. There is no use worrying about it. You can only do your best." Mengyao said in a slow voice.
"Teacher, is there really nothing you can do?" Tang Fei said unwillingly.
Mengyao said: "The scope that I can detect now is too small, and my ability to predict and deduce danger is too weak. I cannot make perfect countermeasures. People will still die..."
Walking back to the camp with heavy steps, I happened to bump into Zhang Xiaomo who was returning from a similar investigation.
Zhang Xiaomo said in a deep voice: "Teacher, I found a pile of warm feces in the forest just now, which should belong to giant wolves. Several of them have been hanging behind us, and they seem to be guiding their companions in the direction.
.”
Tang Fei nodded and said: "Let everyone be alert when we go back. There will be a bloody battle tonight... Humph, if these giant wolves dare to attack us, they will have to pay a heavy price!"
