On the border of Wushan Province, a young man was walking out of the border in a dusty manner. The young man did not look too big, but his whole body exuded an icy aura, and everyone around him looked at him sideways.
This young man was none other than Hai Tian. At this moment, he left Liuling City alone. Originally, he planned to practice hard in Liuling City until he became the Sword Emperor again, and then go to the training cave in his previous life.
However, Xiao Yu's sudden arrest and the other party's request to exchange information with the Holy Fire Token completely disrupted Hai Tian's plan.
In desperation, he had to set off immediately. Whether he was looking for the legendary Holy Fire Token or looking for traces of Xiao Yu, he could not stay in Liuling City forever.
Wei He and Toka originally planned to follow Hai Tian, but they were both seriously injured and had difficulty moving. Hai Tian also refused their request to follow. What's more, it was much more convenient for Hai Tian to be alone.
Because Xiao Yu was caught, the anger in Hai Tian's heart was completely burning. He couldn't wait to find the other party immediately and rescue Xiao Yu.
However, Hai Tian is not stupid. He knows the gap between himself and the opponent. With his current strength, it is difficult for him to be the opponent. However, the way to practice lies in step by step. If you want to quickly increase your combat effectiveness, you can only start with external conditions.
.
The external conditions are nothing more than elixirs, swords and sword skills.
In this life, Hai Tian has only come into contact with a few kinds of elixirs, and they are all used for recovery or healing. Hai Tian has never seen the kind of elixir that can enhance the swordsman's strength with just one pill.
In terms of swords, he already owns the Fire Cloud Sword, which is enough for him now.
If you want to enhance your combat effectiveness in a short period of time, you can only start with sword skills. Although Haitian was once a sword god and mastered many sword skills, most of those sword skills require strength.
With his current strength, there are no more sword skills that he can learn. However, he has not given up. Although he cannot learn the sword skills he mastered before, this does not prevent him from looking for sword skills left by others.
Yes, it is the sword skills left behind by others.
In his previous life, in addition to cultivating in secret, Haitian also continued to take adventures on the mainland and discovered many training places of his predecessors, which also contained many sword skills.
Some of them were better, so he directly learned them by himself, such as the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Breath Condensation Technique.
But there were quite a few that were no longer of much use to the sword god, so he didn't study them and just kept them there.
However, these sword skills are of great use to Hai Tian now.
The target of Operation Haitian this time was the deciduous forest in Hubin Province. He remembered that in the deciduous forest, there was once a cave of a swordsman master, and a very good sword skill was buried in it.
Hubin Province is just to the west of Wushan Province. The masked man who took Xiao Yu hostage also left from this direction. This is also the reason why Hai Tian chose this place.
After a long journey, Hai Tian finally arrived at Luoye Town, which is located next to the deciduous forest.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Hai Tian raised his eyebrows and grabbed a young swordsman who was passing by in a hurry: "I'm sorry, brother, I want to ask, where is the tavern in Luoye Town?"
"Tavern? You can see it two hundred meters ahead in this direction." The swordsman frowned slightly, "Brother, are you from a foreign country? I advise you to leave as soon as possible. This Luoye Town is not peaceful.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving Hai Tian confused.
But it would be easier once he knew the direction of the tavern. Hai Tian immediately headed in the direction of the tavern. Generally speaking, the tavern was the most well-informed place. He wanted to go here because he also wanted to find out whether Xiao Yu and the masked man had been here.
.
What surprised Hai Tian was that most of the swordsmen in Luoye Town came and went in a hurry, with their brows furrowed.
"Strange, what happened to Luoye Town?" Hai Tian was very confused. Soon, he saw a huge signboard with the word "wine" written on it.
Before he even entered the door, Hai Tian smelled the smell of alcohol. But what surprised him was that the inside of the tavern was not as lively as he imagined, and it was also very deserted.
There were only a few guests and the listless waiter, which fully demonstrated that something big had happened in Luoye Town.
Hai Tian walked directly into the door and found a clean seat to sit down.
"Sir, what would you like to order?" The waiter saw Hai Tian entering the door and immediately came to greet him.
"Give me a plate of cooked beef and a glass of water." After thinking for a while, Hai Tian raised his head and answered.
The waiter was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Haitian didn't drink when he came to the tavern. However, Haitian looked too young, so not drinking was not a big deal. Then the waiter responded and hurried into the back hall to get ready.
Hai Tian also waited calmly. After a while, the waiter brought a plate of cooked beef and a glass of water: "Sir, the dishes you ordered are here. Is there anything else you need?"
"No need. By the way, I would like to ask, a few days ago, did you see a masked man in gray clothes passing by with a boy about my age?" Hai Tian hurriedly inquired about Xiao Yu's news.
.
"The masked man in gray clothes?" The waiter fell into deep thought, "It seems not. In the past half month, we have not received such guests. And now everyone in Luoye Town is panicked, and only people here go outside.
, How can there be any outsiders coming to our place? Sir, I think you are also a foreigner, please leave as soon as you finish eating."
Hai Tian was not too disappointed when he didn't get any news from Xiao Yu. With the strength of the masked man, he could fly very far in one day without stopping at all.
It was only the second half of what the waiter said that caught Hai Tian's attention: "What's going on here? I see everyone on the road coming and going in a hurry, as if something big happened."
"Alas, sir, you don't know, this is our annual spirit beast riot in Luoye Town. Every year at this time, the spirit beasts in the nearby Luoye Forest seem to have lost their minds and rush out of the forest.
It's impacting our town." At this point, the waiter sighed, "It is estimated that in a few days, the spirit beasts will riot, and we will have to close our doors."
"Spirit beast riot?" Hai Tian opened his mouth in surprise. This was the first time he heard such a statement.
All spirit beasts are intelligent. The higher the level of the spirit beast, the higher the wisdom. Legend has it that the intelligence of the top level spirit beasts is far superior to that of humans.
Generally speaking, spiritual beasts would not attack human settlements for no reason. Why would this deciduous forest do this instead? And he remembered that it was not like this when he came here before.
"Well, I would like to ask, when did this spirit beast riot start? How long did it last?"
The waiter sighed: "I don't know. Anyway, it was already there when I was born. I heard from some old people that it has been there for decades. It lasts for about a month each time."
"Um? If that's the case, then why don't you just leave Luoye Town and go to another town?" Hai Tian was very confused. It has been going on for decades, how could anyone continue to stay?
Having said this, the waiter smiled and said: "Sir, you don't know, although the spirit beast riots every year have brought us huge troubles, after the spirit beast riots, those first-order people in the deciduous forest
The second-level spiritual beasts will all enter a state of hibernation. As long as we can find them, we can easily kill them and earn a lot of money."
"So that's it." Hai Tian didn't expect that there was such a story in it. No wonder these people would rather endure decades of harassment than leave.
Those first and second level spiritual beasts can be sold for a lot of gold coins.
At this moment, suddenly several young men and women came in at the door of the tavern. They had very strong sword spiritual power. What surprised Haitian was that these young men and women were all very strong. The weakest one also had a seven-star sword.
Among the warriors, one of the strongest has actually reached the level of a one-star swordsman.
Judging from their appearance, they are only seventeen or eighteen years old. It would not be surprising if one of them appears. But if several appear at once, it is definitely not something that ordinary forces can cultivate.
Seeing the guests, the waiter smiled apologetically at Hai Tian, and then walked towards the young men and women.
Hai Tian didn't take it seriously, nodded slightly, and started to eat the food in front of him.
"Guests, what do you need?" The waiter showed his signature smile.
The leading one-star swordsman shouted loudly: "Bring us three plates of cooked beef and two jugs of good wine."
"What are you drinking now? You'll be in trouble later!" A girl next to her rolled her eyes at the one-star swordsman and smiled apologetically at the waiter, "I'm sorry, we don't want any more wine, so let's have a glass each.
Water."
The waiter was stunned, wondering why all the guests drank water today? But the customer is God, and he would not go against the customer's request.
Seeing the waiter leaving, the young men and women immediately started talking.
"Xiaoyun, why are you restricting me from drinking again? I haven't entered the deciduous forest yet?" the leading Yixing swordsman said with a bitter smile.
The girl next to her frowned slightly: "Blake, do you want me to tell the teacher? Don't forget, we are here for something important. If something goes wrong, can you take the responsibility?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, finish your food quickly and get on your way." The boy opposite the girl said with a smile.
Everyone stopped arguing, glanced at the deserted tavern, and spotted Hai Tian who was eating cooked beef.
"Hey, there is a kid there. I didn't expect him to dare to come to Luoye Town alone at such a young age." The one-star swordsman who was turned into Blake by the girl seemed to have discovered a new world, and smiled as if no one was watching, "But this kid
He's not even a swordsman. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive in Luoye Town where a spiritual beast riot is about to occur."
Hai Tian had listened to all the conversations of these people. Did they say that he was not even a swordsman? Hai Tian couldn't help but chuckle, but he did not defend himself.
However, just as he continued to eat the food in front of him, the girl named Xiaoyun from before actually stood up and walked towards him.
