The sword eats the world

Chapter 37
Ling Yun quickly shuttled through the jungle while looking at the map of the gray forest that he bought from the hawker in Yinye Town.

With the previous two full years of living in the jungle, the dense forest now does not pose any obstacles to his progress.However, the gray forest is a gray forest after all, and it is not comparable to the forest that Ling Yun experienced before.

Less than forty or fifty miles into the forest, a tiger-shaped monster with scales all over its body brazenly launched a fierce attack on him, a human who dared to invade his territory.

The strength of this tiger-shaped monster is probably at the peak of the first order, and even those official sword masters who have just mastered ordinary sword skills are not sure that they can defeat it in one fell swoop.But after all, Ling Yun is not as simple as waiting for a first-rank swordsman. Under the sharp attack of Jiujiu Shangxuan Sword Qi, its hard scale armor, which is hard to be hurt by a weapon, is cut open and flesh is flying.

The intense pain instantly made the beast aware of the strength of the person in front of it, and immediately ignored the territory that had lived here for a year, and hurriedly threw itself into the forest and disappeared into the vast forest.

Ling Yun did not pursue.Compared with him, the monsters of the first-order peak are obviously much worse.He came to this forest for trials and to complete the task by the way, not to torture those first-order monsters for fun.

This area with a radius of tens of miles is obviously the territory of this tiger-shaped monster.After defeating the monster, Ling Yun continued to advance for more than 30 miles, and finally encountered the second monster again.It's just because this is only the edge of the gray forest, even if it encounters a monster, it is only the first level.If you want to encounter a second-order monster, you have to go deep into the forest for three hundred miles.

"Gentian grass is only in the ordinary area of ​​the gray forest, and there is still a distance from the central area. It must be impossible to encounter evenly matched monsters. In this way, is it difficult to achieve the purpose of experience?" Thinking of this, Ling Yun gave up and went first The plan to get gentian is to go to the central area first.

The dean of the Brilliant Academy can't break through the innate Mahayana realm, so let's look for those monsters that have reached the third level of strength.

Although he will be seriously injured after defeating a third-tier monster with his strength, and may even be chased and killed by other monsters, but how can he successfully break through this barrier that is not considered a barrier if he is not oppressed in such a harsh environment? Woolen cloth?
With this mentality, Ling Yun bypassed the place where the gentian grass was, and went to the central area first.

What he didn't know was that it was because he didn't get the gentian first that he managed to resolve an invisible crisis.

Because the second day after Roman Sword Master and others entered the forest, they had already arrived near the gentian grass guarded by the double-headed snake.After an hour of repairing and recovering, he and Luo He, who are third-tier sword masters, brazenly attacked the two-headed snake.

However, the combat power erupted by the monsters at the peak of the fourth rank is far beyond the estimates of Sword Master Roman and Sword Master Luo He.In just a few face-to-face encounters, Swordsman Roman was the first to be wounded.What's especially frightening is that the toxin in the snake's body quickly invaded the sword master Roman's body along the wound. If they hadn't made sufficient preparations in advance and brought a large amount of detoxification pills, Roman, a third-tier sword master, might have died. The explanation is here.

With the injury of Swordsman Roman, Luo He, the chief swordsman of the Ziyun Empire, couldn't last long, and his whole arm was bitten into flesh by the sharp teeth of the magic snake without paying attention, and almost half of the battle was spent. force.

The combat power of the two-headed demon snake shocked the two of them, and Luohe, the chief swordsman, was paid, so they had to give up this tempting task.

The two third-tier sword masters teamed up and were both forced to this point by the two-headed demon snake. If Ling Yun came to grab the gentian grass in advance and confronted the two-headed demon snake, what would it be like?
……

Ling Yun still didn't know anything about the gentian mission. He was walking into the gray forest, trying his best to find the places where those large monsters lived.

However, after walking for three days, he frowned: "It is rumored that there are even third- and fourth-order super monsters in this gray forest. Now I am close to the central area. How can I not encounter seven first-order monsters?" , Haven’t even seen Tier [-] monsters? Let alone those Tier [-] monsters.”

Puzzled, Ling Yun compared the direction and moved forward again.

When he turned around a dense forest, a rustling sound came suddenly accompanied by the sound of the wind.Ling Yun's mind tightened, and he jumped lightly, borrowing the strength of the tree trunk next to him, and directly stepped onto a dense big tree opposite, hiding among the dense leaves.

At any rate, after living in the jungle for so many days, Ling Yun naturally understood what the rustling sound meant—creatures approaching.

"I don't know what level of monster this time is. If it's still the first level, it would be too boring." Just as Ling Yun was thinking, the grass in front suddenly parted, and a white figure suddenly flew out of the grass, slightly moving on the ground. Borrowing strength, the elegant figure is like a light leaf dancing in the wind, passing through the jungle, and in the blink of an eye, it has drifted past the big tree he was hiding, and disappeared from sight.

After Ling Yun watched the strange figure disappear, he thought to himself: "What a light and elegant movement, this speed may catch up with my Lingyun step."

Suddenly, Ling Yun remembered that the figure that was drifting away was vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.Think about it carefully, isn't it the woman in white who met on that rainy night a month ago?

"Why is she here? Could it be that she is still chasing that monster?" Thinking of this, he looked up in the direction where the woman disappeared, and was about to descend the tree.

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps coming from the direction the woman had just come from, and this time it was not just one person who caught up with her, but three people.Without exception, these three people are all masters of the sword master stage, and one of them has reached the level of a second-tier sword master.

One of the three has a sensitive nose. He sniffed the smell left in the air, a gleam of light shot out from his eyes immediately, a white light flashed like lightning in his hand, and a gust of wind whizzed straight towards Ling Yun's hiding place. Trees are cut.

Ling Yun's heart trembled, he kicked on the tree trunk, jumped out of thin air and broke through the tree crown, avoiding the attack of Dou Qi Slash.

However, before he had time to land, several bursts of fighting energy came one after another, blocking all his dodging space, forcing him to use his sword immediately to disperse all the fighting energy.

Ling Yun floated back in the void with the help of the anti-shock energy of this Dou Qi.And at this time, the other party also saw Ling Yun's appearance clearly, and whispered: "It's not him!"

"Sneaky, there must be something wrong." Another sword master was about to strike again, but was stopped by the second-rank sword master: "This person's strength is not inferior to mine. It's important to chase people, don't make troubles. Where will she go?" The direction ran away?"

"It's the central area! It seems that he wants to use the cover of high-level monsters to escape from the gray forest."

"Hmph, nearly [-] sword masters from our four countries, and nearly a thousand high-level swordsmen have already laid a net in this area. Even if she has wings, it will be difficult for her to fly out." After finishing speaking, he took the lead in chasing her out.

Ling Yun watched the three of them leave without stopping them.

His current strength is only comparable to that second-tier sword master. If he goes to chase him, he may not get any benefit from one against three.

While walking, I could still hear the conversation between the three people faintly: "Although the woman is only a first-level swordsman, her speed is really difficult to deal with. Even if we catch up, we may not be able to catch up." Can hold her."

"If you can't catch it, you have to catch it. Our four empires paid such a heavy price to kill the two-headed snake demon. How can we make the gentian grass cheaper for others? Therefore, no matter what, that woman must die."

"Hey, the mantis is catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind. It's all our fault. Under the watchful eyes of more than 20 sword masters, a little girl of the first rank stole the gentian grass. , what face does our four great empires have!"

"We can't blame our Four Kingdoms for this matter. After all, several third-tier sword masters were all injured by the toxin from the double-headed snake's self-defense at that time, so they had no time to distract her to intercept her. Otherwise, no matter how fast she was, it would be impossible." Faster than the pursuit of a third-tier sword master."

"Things have come to this point, hurry up and chase..."

Hearing the conversation between the three gradually fade away, Ling Yun couldn't help being a little surprised: "Gentian grass? Is it the quest item I need? It's just a single gentian grass, and all the sword masters from the four empires are dispatched? What's going on here? And according to the conversation between the three of them just now, it seems that the woman stole the gentian grass while the sword masters of the four empires were fighting with a monster..."

Although he was a little puzzled about what happened just now, Ling Yun was not a person who was too curious.

He just wanted to use the skills rewarded by the gentian grass mission to prove it against his Ninety-Nine Supreme Sword Qi, and he didn't care if the mission really failed in the end.At worst, earn meritorious service in the future and exchange for a book of fourth-order exercises.The most important thing at the moment is to break through to the innate Mahayana state as soon as possible. After reaching that state, he can be regarded as returning to the starting point of the previous life, and he can start to use the benefits brought by the spiritual energy.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun put this problem behind his head and accelerated his rush to the central area.
