C40 Fourth stage vicious beast
"Hey, is this little brother alone? Are you interested in joining us? "We're going to Lian Ya Mountain to gather herbs. There are already six people in our team."
"Little brother, join us. The eleven of us here, all of us have cultivation bases of our qi generating state."
"No, no, no. Join us!"
It was true that it was possible for a group trip to be safer, but in the Wasteland, even the slightest negligence would lead to a tragedy. Zhou Tong did not want to go with these people who he had never met before.
Just as Zhou Tong was about to walk out of the town, a commotion suddenly came from behind him. An excited shout came out, "The medicine collection team from the infirmary is about to go into the mountains to gather medicinal herbs, Miss Zhu Yunxin will be going with them personally, there are only thirty slots, and the strength requirement is to be at or above the third stage of the qi generating state.
The noisy entrance of the small town immediately became quiet. A moment later, it erupted into an even more noisy hubbub than before. The mercenaries who had accepted themselves as having met the requirements all rushed over to the middle-aged man who had shouted.
Zhou Tong frowned and had a strange smile on his face, he then glanced at Zhu Yunxin who was sitting on the horse carriage in the back. On this trip, Zhu Yunxin had changed into tight clothes, the clothes she was wearing accentuating her enchanting body, making him look extremely tempting. But when she thought of going with the thirty sturdy men, Zhou Tong immediately shook his head and gave up on the idea of joining the team. He pushed down the bamboo hat on his head and walked out of the town.
boom rumble rumble *
The loud sound of the waterfall resounded day after day within the valley year after year. The moist air caused the small valley to be almost completely isolated from the outside world's heat.
Below the waterfall that was rushing like a silver dragon, Zhou Tong held onto the Meteorite Sword and stared intently at the fish under the water. Suddenly, Zhou Tong moved suddenly, his feet moved extremely quickly, even in the water, his [Exquisite Earth Shadow] 's speed did not decrease at all. With a flash, three big fattening fishes appeared on the Meteorite Sword.
Only Zhou Tong could use a craftsman grade weapon to pry fish. This kind of reckless act was something that would only be able to be done by someone like him.
After a while, the smell of grilled fish floated out from beside the bonfire. Zhou Tong impatiently grabbed one fish and started to gnaw on it, looking up at the sky above him. It was noon, and there were a few thin clouds floating in the blue sky.
"I've searched for an entire morning, but I haven't even found a single hair of the Radix Szechwan. I'm afraid I've been tricked." Inwardly shaking her head, Zhou Tong was somewhat helpless to herself. She searched around the mountain for an entire morning but was unable to find any Radix Szechwan.
After finishing his lunch, Zhou Tong extinguished the bonfire on the ground. Just as he stood up and prepared to pack up his things, an intense energy ripple followed the tiger's roar like a thunderclap.
Hearing the terrifying tiger roar, Zhou Tong immediately smiled. The violent energy was obviously that of a fourth-level beast.
"A Fourth Stage Vicious Beast appeared in the outer regions of the Wasteland? Heh, that's quite rare. Alright, it'll save me the trouble of looking for you everywhere. " With a smirk, Zhou Tong immediately packed up his things and followed the direction of the voice. Whoosh.
's mission this time was to hunt fierce beasts to begin with, and the indicators for completing the missions varied depending on the fierce beasts' classes. Hunting a first stage wild beast required hunting a full fifty, second stage ten, and three stages. There were no Fourth Stage Vicious Beast s listed in the rules, for one, there were very few Fourth Stage Vicious Beast s around the outer regions of the Wasteland, and for ordinary qi generating state disciples, challenging these Fourth Stage Vicious Beast were even more difficult.
As he got closer, the temperature rapidly dropped, and even the surrounding spirit energy trembled a little. Relying on his superior perception, Zhou Tong immediately sensed that the Fourth Stage Vicious Beast was fighting against a group of mercenaries, causing the spirit energy in the air to be extremely mixed, so he guessed that there must be a large number of mercenaries.
Fifty meters away from the battle circle, Zhou Tong stopped in his tracks. Standing on top of a gigantic tree that reached the sky, he watched the battle from afar. As they neared the battle zone, the surrounding temperature had become so cold that even the water vapor on the tree branches had turned into ice shards.
"Heh, what idiot knows how to find a place to fight? In front of us is the beast cave, behind us is the cliff, and on the left and right are the forests. Zhou Tong observed his surroundings and laughed. This kind of advance was neither a retreat nor a retreat. If they had not fled and brought him here, the people who chose this battle location would have truly become retarded.
A rather ferocious looking tiger head, blood-red eyes suffused with a frightening light, and its mouth that was filled with fangs was almost as big as a wardrobe. Above the head of the tiger was a water blue threaded horn, and on the side of the tiger body, there was a pair of wings that was covered with a crystal blue armor.
The gigantic ferocious beast roared towards the sky, and an invisible pressure struck over, even the ice around Zhou Tong's feet shattered with a loud bang.
"Whoa, Fourth Stage Vicious Beast s, your luck is pretty good, Zhu Yunxin?" Just as Zhou Tong was sighing to himself about his good luck, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Zhu Yunxin, who was being protected by four or five brutes. It was only then that Zhou Tong realized that the mercenaries fighting the Black Frosted Tiger of the fourth step were the exact same people who had been recruited this morning.
Scanning the battlefield with his eyes, Zhou Tong immediately found no less than ten corpses. It was clear that the qi-repair and martial cultivators were all training and training on the same skin and skin as the Black Frosted Tiger s. Of the group of thirty people counted, more than half were dead and injured. Aside from the ten that were dead, there were still three to five heavily injured beside Zhu Yunxin. In the entire mercenary group, there were less than ten people who were bitterly battling the Black Frosted Tiger.
"Tsk, isn't it a bit too mundane to be a hero saving the beauty?" Zhou Tong laughed helplessly, he then took out his Meteorite Sword and his figure quickly disappeared into the branches.
"Roar!"
The monstrous tiger roars were deafening, the Black Frosted Tiger's roars reverberated continuously in the valley.
Following the whistling sound, the sharp horn above his head began to shine brightly. The chillingly cold ice crystals turned into a rain of arrows, covering the sky and shooting towards the group of mercenaries.
"I can't take it anymore!"
"Retreat!" Retreat! The second round was coming! "Ahhh!"
Just as the first round of rain of arrows passed, the horns on the Black Frosted Tiger's head lit up once again. The mercenaries roared, one of them was injured in that round of rain of arrows, the rest had a look of despair on their faces, their legs trembling.
"Flee!" "Protect Miss Zhu, run!" A mercenary ran towards Zhu Yunxin's side while dragging his arm that was pierced by an ice arrow. The few people fighting the Black Frosted Tiger all abandoned their armors and escaped in panic. Facing such a vicious beast, other than running for their lives, these people no longer had any other thoughts.
Suddenly, just as the second round of the Black Frosted Tiger's ice arrows was about to be collected, a pitch black figure suddenly flew past the mercenaries and headed straight for the Black Frosted Tiger. Before the mercenaries could see who the person was, the black figure had already leaped high into the sky, and with a 'zheng' sound, it pounced straight towards the Black Frosted Tiger's face. The pitch-black sword tip streaked across the air rapidly, and with a clear sound, the black sword had already landed on the corner of the Black Frosted Tiger.
"Aooo!"
The Black Frosted Tiger let out a painful wail, its huge head started to shake frantically, and all the ice arrows that it had stored up shattered under this one strike. The black figure quickly retreated, returning back to Zhu Yunxin's side steadily, he stood up straight and threw a jade bottle at Zhu Yunxin without looking back.
Zhou Tong turned his head, with his eyes squinted and his mouth agape, he looked at the surprised Zhu Yunxin with a carefree smile.
"Beautiful girl, can I ask if you're ordering takeout?"
