After Long Chen and Tang Wan'er separated, they identified the direction, followed the direction marked on the map on the back of the nameplate, and started heading out.
Now Long Chen is still at the edge of the map. According to the above display, he needs to cross a big river and climb a high mountain to reach his destination.
However, less than seven days had passed since the assessment, and there was still plenty of time. Long Chen found a deserted cave and took out the strange fish essence.
The fish essence is about the size of a soybean and looks like an inconspicuous bone. Even if it is crushed, no clues can be found.
Take out a black elixir from the space ring, crush it and put it into the water. A small bowl of water immediately becomes as black as ink.
Put the strange dace fish essence into the bowl, and the originally black medicinal liquid immediately boils with countless bubbles. At this time, a faint energy slowly emits.
Long Chen smiled slightly. Sure enough, only by using this method can the energy of the strange dace fish spirit be stimulated.
A big hand touches the center of the eyebrows, and the power of the soul circulates. A faint vortex immediately appears in the center of the eyebrows. The fluctuations emitted by the strange dace fish essence are slowly absorbed by the vortex without leaking out at all.
In just one breath, all the energy of the Qidian Fish Essence was absorbed. Long Chen took the Qidian Fish Essence out of the bowl and found that the Qidian Fish Essence had become dim and dull, and finally scattered like mud.
This signified that all the energy of the strange fish essence had been consumed. Long Chen closed his eyes and felt it. After absorbing the strange fish essence, his soul power seemed to have improved a little bit, but he couldn't.
Sure, because that trace of energy is too weak.
There was an extra handful of strange dace fish essence in his hand. There were about twenty or thirty pills. They were left over from eating strange dace fish twice. Long Chen took them all out.
"Gulu..."
Long Chen put a large handful of strange dace fish essence into the bowl. The black liquid in the bowl boiled, and strong fluctuations rose at the same time.
Long Chen didn't dare to neglect, the vortex between his brows reappeared, and he began to absorb the energy emitted by the strange fish spirit.
That kind of energy cannot be recognized by the naked eye, and can only be sensed with the soul. As the energy of the strange fish essence is absorbed by Long Chen, a satisfied smile appears on Long Chen's face.
Because of the large number, Long Chen could clearly sense that an extremely pure energy was slowly nourishing his soul, and the power of his soul became active.
The energy contained in the strange dace fish essence is not the power of the soul, but a magical power that nourishes the soul.
If the power of the soul is compared to a small tree, then the energy of the strange fish essence is a kind of fertilizer.
Nourished by the strange fish essence, Long Chen could clearly feel that the power of his soul was slowly increasing. Although the amplitude was very small, it still made Long Chen ecstatic.
We must know that the power of human soul is innate, and it is often achieved by breaking through the realm and passively improving the power of the soul.
There are very few treasures that can nourish the human soul, but almost no one knows about treasures like the strange dace fish essence. People only know its deliciousness and throw the strange dace fish essence as garbage. It is really a pity.
.
"It's a pity that this life ring is too low-level. Otherwise, it would be nice to catch more strange dace fish and keep them around and let them reproduce freely."
Long Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The fish has low reproductive capacity and is very picky about its living environment. It must survive in a pure natural environment, so it is difficult to cultivate it by yourself.
However, his current life ring can only keep the strange dace alive and is not suitable for the growth of the strange dace, so he is a little disappointed.
Although the energy provided by Qidian fish essence is weak, it is extremely pure and has no side effects. As long as the quantity is sufficient, it can nourish the soul for a long time.
This is a typical gathering of sand to form a tower. The longer the time, the stronger the soul's power. Especially for alchemy cultivators, strong soul power is everything.
The pool where the strange dace fish was caught before was not big. According to Long Chen's catching method, it won't take long to catch it thoroughly.
It is estimated that if Long Chen really wants to do this, Xuantian Villa will not allow it. Now he can only take it one step at a time.
After absorbing the strange fish essence, Long Chen felt refreshed and energetic, and he stretched out for a long time.
After sensing his own body, under the influence of the healing pill, his body, which was destroyed by the power of thunder, was already almost healed.
"It's time to go out and wander around. There are treasures everywhere in Xuantian Villa, so we can't waste them."
Long Chen came out of the cave and began to walk forward. Along the way, Long Chen saw many applicants, and they began to search non-stop like him.
Apparently everyone started to follow what was shown on the map and headed forward to meet up and prepare to cross the river. Many people couldn't help but feel a little nervous when they saw Long Chen, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Long Chen didn't pay attention to them.
"Have you heard that this guy killed Lei Qianshang's right-hand man yesterday?" someone whispered.
"I heard that Zhao Wu is an extremely powerful person and is regarded as his right-hand man by Lei Qianshang. I never thought that such a person would die in Long Chen's hands. It's really terrifying."
"That is to say, I heard that after Long Chen killed Zhao Wu, he was not punished and could still take the assessment."
Some people couldn't help but sigh. When Long Chen relied on his powerful mount to fight Qi Xin fiercely, they all thought that Long Chen was just a playboy and that he had no real fighting power.
Because truly strong people do not need to bring such a powerful monster to protect themselves, so in their hearts, they did not take Long Chen seriously.
"This Long Chen is simply a dark horse. I wonder if he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the five monster-level experts," one person said with emotion.
"Tch, it's just him? Who is he? How dare he be compared with a monster-level powerhouse? Haven't you heard that he vomited blood after being hit by Lei Qianshang?
He just wants to bully the little guy, in the hands of a monster-level strongman, he can't even take a single move," one person snorted, obviously looking down on Long Chen.
Long Chen had no idea that his killing of Zhao Wu had spread among people, and now people ranked him as the number one person among monsters.
After climbing over a mountain, there was a plain ahead. The giant trees had disappeared and were replaced by bushes as far as the eye could see.
The dwarf trees were more than two feet high. It was easy to get lost when walking inside. Long Chen observed it, determined the direction, and entered the plain.
The road is very difficult to walk on. There are thorny thorns everywhere, and most of them are poisonous. Although it can't break through Long Chen's defense, his clothes can't stand it. If you don't pay attention, a big hole will be cut in his clothes.
If I don't think of a way, I'm afraid I'll run naked before I get halfway through.
Suddenly, a figure galloped past Long Chen, which shocked Long Chen. This person was so strong, but he was not afraid of thorns?
But when he saw the figure of the man clearly, Long Chen couldn't help but be happy. The man's body was shining with gold and he was actually wearing a suit of armor.
I asked why I'm not afraid of thorns. Long Chen couldn't help but shake his head. He searched for the space ring and found that there were actually several sets of armor.
Long Chen had to thank the guy who robbed him. If he really wanted to sleep, someone would give him a pillow.
I found a suit of bronze scale armor that was not very ostentatious and put it on my body. The size was just right. My whole body was covered with bronze scales. I was no longer afraid of these thorns.
After thinking for a while, he rummaged through the space ring again, and suddenly there was a round helmet in his hand.
“Haha, good stuff”
The helmet in Long Chen's hand turned out to be a cheek helmet. When worn on his head, only two eyes were exposed. Even an acquaintance might not be able to recognize him.
"A must-have weapon for murder, arson, and robbery." Long Chen was happy and put on his helmet. Although his vision was somewhat blocked and uncomfortable, it didn't matter to him. He just let his consciousness go.
That’s it.
He stepped forward and ran forward. With the scale armor on his body, he no longer had to worry about these annoying thorns.
This scale armor weighs more than three hundred kilograms. When worn on the body, with inertia, Long Chen flies forward like a cannonball. He can run with his eyes closed. Even if he encounters a short tree, he doesn't have to avoid it and directly smashes it into pieces.
“Haha, it’s so cool”
This was the first time Long Chen experienced this feeling, as if his mind had been set free, and he wholeheartedly experienced the pleasure of high-speed driving.
“Oops, not good”
Long Chen was happy to see them, but he didn't expect that two figures suddenly appeared in front of them. They were also wearing armor and were running at a speed, but in front of Long Chen, they were just like snails.
"The person in front gets out of the way and the car can't be stopped."
"boom"
Just as Long Chen finished shouting, he heard a loud noise and hit the two people hard. The two people suddenly flew into the air dancing and screaming like clouds and mist.
"Bang bang"
With two muffled sounds in succession, the two of them flew dozens of feet away before landing on the ground. At the same time, accompanied by groans of pain, they rolled far away in succession, in a state of embarrassment.
"It's a terrible rear-end collision. I'm afraid I'm fully responsible." Long Chen couldn't help being surprised.
"Asshole, hand over your nameplate"
Just when Long Chen was stunned, the two people had already gotten up from the ground, ran to Long Chen, pointed at Long Chen and roared.
The two of them roared while taking off the helmets on their heads. Both of their heads were covered with disheveled hair, their noses were bleeding, and there were a few bruises on their faces. It seemed that they had been hit hard.
"Fuck, it hurts me so much. My nose doesn't feel like it's mine anymore. Why are you still standing there, why don't you hand over the nameplate?" One person yelled angrily while groaning in pain.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a newbie, a novice on the road, and not very familiar with the road conditions. This nameplate is just an apology to you two."
Long Chen felt a little unreasonable and handed his nameplate with the word "天" to the man. Anyway, he already had a set and this one was useless.
The man cursed and took the nameplate and glanced at Long Chen: "Boy, you are lucky this time. Please pay more attention next time."
"Okay, okay, be sure to pay attention next time" Long Chen said with a smile.
"Let's go. Brother Qi asked us to gather together quickly. Don't delay Brother Qi's important things. Just let this guy go." After one person finished speaking, he pulled the other person and left in a hurry.
When the two disappeared, Long Chen was slightly startled: Brother Qi? The one who can be called the eldest brother should be a monster-level figure. Is it Qi Xin?
Long Chen rolled his eyes, stepped forward and followed quietly behind the two people, "Hey, Qi Xin, let me see what you are doing."
