Shen Rui's first target is Yinfeng Mountain, Zhengjian City.
Zhengjian City is located in the west of the Donghua Empire, tens of thousands of miles away from the Nanlin Mountains. Shen Rui has a cloud-piercing falcon to travel with. It can be reached in ten days and a half months at most, but Shen Rui doesn't want to go so fast. Once he got there, his other purpose was to hunt monsters and practice cultivation. Only actual combat could make his strength more stable.
The reason why he was able to defeat many opponents by leapfrogging up a level before, and even defeat opponents who had just been promoted to high-level Martial King with the strength of a high-level Martial King, apart from his body of ten thousand gold and some advanced martial arts, a very important reason is that he has been Spend time in actual combat. And Li Tong, who is considered a super genius among her peers, can only leapfrog an ordinary intermediate martial emperor at best. Shen Rui thinks that she lacks actual combat.
Flowers and plants in a greenhouse cannot grow into a towering tree. So he plans to head all the way to the Monster Mountain Range. Of course, when he needs supplies, he will also consider visiting the cities along the way.
Li Tong had no objection to Shen Rui's arrangements, and she also knew her weaknesses.
After leaving the Nanlin Mountains for a few days and making sure it was safe, that night, Shen Rui and Li Tong put the Cloud-piercing Falcon aside and let it follow them freely in the air. They and Li Tong landed on the ground and came to a Before the dense forest.
Shen Rui released the Moon-Watching Lion Zhao from the ring, hoping that it would act as a guard. Unexpectedly, Shen Rui was shocked when the Moon-Watching Lion Zhao came out of the ring. He saw that it was full of energy, its body was shining with golden light, and its originally inconspicuous scales The armor suddenly turned into hard golden armor! Moreover, it also had the violent aura of a monster on it, reaching the fourth level of advanced level. It was equivalent to a high-level Martial King of a human warrior.
Shen Rui clicked his tongue and said: "Well, you lion head, your strength has increased faster than mine. I remember when I took you in, you were just a third-level monster, and I was already an intermediate Martial King at that time."
The Moon-Watching Lion Zhao roared, with a rather proud look in his eyes. Shen Rui laughed loudly and said: "I'll praise you a few times and you'll want to go against the will. Come outside and stand guard for me."
The moon-watching lion Zhao obediently walked aside and sat down not far from the two of them, looking around vigilantly like a loyal hound.
Shen Rui then turned around and smiled at Li Tong: "Open the ring I gave you that day and see what it is."
Li Tong took out the ring that Shen Rui gave him, and saw that it was filled with bright orange spiritual stones. She had never seen it before. She couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What kind of spiritual stones are these? Why do I feel that they are better than high-grade spiritual stones?" The energy is much stronger.”
Shen Rui chuckled and said, "I've never seen it before. This is a top-grade spiritual stone. The energy contained in one stone is a hundred times that of a top-grade spiritual stone."
Li Tong's face turned pale with fright, and said: "There are 20,000 top-grade spiritual stones here, which is equivalent to two million high-grade spiritual stones. God, when will I be able to use them all?"
Shen Rui laughed: "Thanks to you, you are still the daughter of a rich family. There is no reason to be afraid of having more money and more things. When your strength improves, these spiritual stones will be used up soon."
At that moment, he gave half of all the things he got from the ancient battlefield to Li Tong, and among them were the wind-attribute martial arts skills that Shen Rui got from the ancient battlefield.
Li Tong was grateful. Shen Rui was almost the one who contributed in the ancient battlefield. She just followed and got so many benefits for no reason. However, she did not refuse. After all, refusing would be meaningless.
When I looked at Shen Rui again, he had already entered a state of cultivation.
When Shen Rui and Li Tong woke up the next day, they found that the moon-looking lion photo was missing.
"This guy dares to withdraw from his duties." Shen Rui couldn't help but feel a little angry.
The two of them followed the breath of the moon-watching lion Zhao. After a while, they saw several wolf corpses on the ground. Shen Rui looked at these demon wolves. They all had sharp horns on their heads, sharp mouths and sharp teeth, and huge bodies. The limbs are thick and strong, much stronger than the demon wolves I have seen in the past.
Shen Rui and Li Tong looked at each other and finally understood that the moon-watching lion Zhao Zhao must have discovered the traces of these wolves. In order to prevent the two of them from being harmed, it actually led the wolves elsewhere.
"Silly lion." Shen Rui couldn't help but laughed and laughed. If these wolves came to attack him, with the strength of two people and one beast, he would not be afraid of them, but if Moon Watching Lion Zhao Zhao dealt with them alone, that would not necessarily be the case.
The two continued to chase after the breath of the moon-watching lion, and saw wolf corpses appearing one after another on the road. Shen Rui praised: "It seems that this lion head can now stand alone."
Unexpectedly, I walked all the way along the breath, and walked for a long time. When I reached the end, I couldn’t see the lion looking at the moon!
Li Tong looked at the wolf corpse on the ground and said: "Even if it dies in the hands of other monsters, there will always be a corpse. If the corpse is eaten, there will be bones. How could it disappear out of thin air?"
Shen Rui thought for a moment and said with a serious expression: "There is only one possibility. Someone has captured the lion's head."
Li Tong was taken aback and said, "Have you been arrested?"
Shen Rui nodded and said, "After it was captured, someone deliberately covered up its aura, so we couldn't find it."
He whistled into the sky, then mounted the Cloud-piercing Falcon to patrol the sky, maybe he could observe something.
Unexpectedly, after the whistle, the Cloud-Crossing Falcon did not appear as he imagined. Shen Rui could not help but feel impatient and roared into the air, but after a while, the Cloud-Crossing Falcon still did not appear.
"Oops, the Cloud-piercing Falcon is also missing." Shen Rui said in frustration.
Without their mounts, it would be difficult for the two of them to go back and forth within this year. The most important thing is that Shen Rui and the two beasts now have feelings. Now that they are missing, their hearts feel empty.
"I must find them." Shen Rui gritted his teeth.
The two of them searched for a long time in the dense forest, but saw nothing except a few monsters. "Looking like this is not the way to go. Let's go to the nearby city to have a look. Maybe some force in the city has captured them." "Shen Rui said.
"Okay." Li Tong was also at a loss. After she entered Yunyuan Pavilion, apart from the experience organized by the pavilion, she rarely acted alone, and she couldn't make up her mind on this kind of matter.
While the two were discussing, they suddenly heard a beast's roar coming from the dense forest in the distance. Li Tong said happily: "There, let's go and have a look."
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "That's not the sound of Lion Head. I can hear its sound no matter where it is."
Li Tong said: "Go over and take a look, maybe you can find out something."
Shen Rui made sense when he heard it, and the two of them ran towards the sound of the beast's roar. Not long after, there was the sound of fierce fighting in front of them. When the two quietly stepped forward to look, they saw a warrior with his upper body bare and holding a handful of weapons. With a spear, he was fighting with a black monster ape that was about one foot tall.
The warrior's strength was probably around that of a high-level martial king, and the strength of the monster ape was also a fourth-level high-level one. One man and one beast were fighting vigorously.
