C14 Redsnow ridge
"What? Is there anything else?"
Lu Ye coldly looked at the three of them, his expression impatient.
My name is Jing Lin, and these two are Zhang Man and Shi Yun. We are here to participate in the heaven chosen path. However, you should have heard that last night, there was a genius named Lu Ye who actually broke through the heaven's selection path and successfully broke through the dragon's formation, causing the heaven's selection path to be delayed by five days. We are all dragon elementalists with nothing better to do, so we wish to find a suitable Draconis and train in the Scarlet Snow Ridge, which is not far from the Thunder Dragon Castle. We will also be able to gather some materials and become the hanger-ons of the Thunder Dragon Castle.
The tall and big youth, Jing Lin, said a few words very politely.
Lu Ye couldn't help but rub his nose. Being called a genius by someone, he felt awkward, but at the same time, he admired Wu Fengqin's methods. In just a night's time, he had already prepared everything.
No wonder the market was so lively today. It turned out to be a group of people participating in the Heaven's Volition Road. They had nothing else to do.
"Hehe, open your eyes wide and look carefully, the one in front of you is the genius Lu Ye, fat grandpa Zhuang Zheng's brother!"
Seeing Lu Ye not saying a word, he immediately took a step forward and introduced himself.
"What, you're Lu Ye!"
Jing Lin and the other two were shocked, but soon realised that something was amiss. Although they did not have Lu Ye's Golden Dragon Eye, and were unable to see through his cultivation, amongst the three of them, Zhang Man and Shi Yun, who had the lowest cultivation levels, had mastered it all.
They could tell at a glance that the fatty did not have any aura at all. He was just a mortal, and the aura on Lu Ye's body, no matter how they looked at it, could not have exceeded the level of mastery.
How could such a fellow break the Thunder Dragon Castle's dragon formation and even marry into the Zuo family?
Luck. He must have gotten lucky.
Jing Lin said silently in his heart. His eyes flickered, and his thoughts just now became even more resolute.
"Please forgive us for our disrespect, but I never thought that the genius Lu Ye whose name is spread throughout the Thunder Dragon City would actually be this brother. This is simply too great! If Young Master Lu had accompanied us to the Scarlet Snow Mountain Range, we would have benefited greatly from this trip."
Jing Lin did his best to flatter them.
The Scarlet Snow Ridge was located at the southern end of Thunder Dragon Castle, it was extremely vast, there were numerous strange flowers and herbs.
However, it was because the strange plants attracted countless dragons and beasts to fight with each other over them that the ground there was covered with blood. Even if there was a heavy snowfall, it would be dyed red by the blood Qi that rose up from the ground, which was why it was called the Scarlet Snow Ridge.
"Sure, I want to hone my Draconis a bit as well. However, this brother of mine wants to go with me, what do you think? "
Lu Ye did not refuse. Coincidentally, he had nowhere to go, he couldn't possibly go back to the Thunder Dragon Castle. There was simply no way he could face Zuo Xiaoqing.
"It's good that you're not afraid of being implicated. It's just that Brother Zhuang is unable to contribute and thus is unable to distribute the demon beast materials."
Jing Lin agreed easily.
"That's only natural. I'll take his portion. Let's go."
With that, Lu Ye walked ahead, extremely free and easy.
After the five of them identified the direction, they quickly headed south. About two hours later, they arrived at the Redsnow Ridge.
"Lu Ye, the Scarlet Snow Mountain Range is huge, I'm afraid only the three-Jeweled dragon cultivator who formed the dragon ring knows how big it is, we can only move around the periphery, we cannot go too deep, and we have to watch Brother Zhuang when we fight later on."
The short and sturdy Zhang Man reminded him.
Lu Ye nodded, on the way here, he knew that Zhang Man did not like to talk, but he was a straightforward person, the other party did not have any intention of mocking him.
The terrain of the Scarlet Snow Ridge was complex. Grass, wood, thorns, and other places were everywhere. The forest was sometimes lush, sometimes sparse.
"Last level demonic beast, Green Scaled Wolf, catch him!"
Shi Yun who had not been born until now suddenly spoke, her voice was clear and pleasant to the ear.
Everyone turned to look and saw a pair of cold eyes filled with killing intent looking at them from a nearby bush.
Zhang Man took a big step forward, rushing straight towards the green flashing shadow of the wolf, his fists intertwined, opening and closing.
Boom! *
With a dull thud, Zhang Man dodged the attack from the wolf claw and struck the wolf head with his fist.
"Brother Zhang is good. It looks like he is going to fight head on, but he wants the wolf head to harm the Gate of Heaven!"
Lu Ye praised loudly.
"Heh heh, it's nothing. Sorry for the ridicule."
Zhang Man scratched his head in embarrassment and took out a cold, sharp knife. He cut open the Green Scaled Wolf's right claw and took out a fingernail-sized Green Goblin Core.
Demonic beasts were the same as humans. They grew by absorbing the aura of the heavens and earth. Their cultivation methods and realms were no different from humans.
For example, this Green Scaled Wolf had a cultivation base of less than one chakra, which was the final step. If it was a demon beast condensed from pearl, it would be a first class demon beast.
After a condensing bead demon beast was killed, the demon pearl could be retrieved from its area of enlightenment, which contained a boundless dragon aura, but humans could not absorb it, so it could only be used to concoct pills.
The Green Scaled Wolf didn't have a pearl. In the opening of its right claw, there was only an irregular shape of a demon core. It couldn't refine pills alone, so it could only accumulate more demon cores and add them together.
Zhang Man kept the demon cores in his pocket and they continued to move forward. Once in awhile, they would encounter some demon beasts, but they were all low level ones. The three of them were easily taken care of.
Who told the dead fatty to not dare to leave Lu Ye's side the moment he entered the Scarlet Snow Mountain Range? He was so scared that his face turned white.
"Look, now you know the importance of strength, right? If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have been able to enter the Redsnow Ridge in your entire life."
"Besides, even if you want to enjoy peace and stability, you need to have enough strength to match it. This world is about the law of the jungle, and the weak can only be bullied. Where is the comfort coming from?"
"…"
Lu Ye was like an old lady, forcing himself to blabber all the way, and finally convinced the damn fatty. He promised with a sullen face that he would train hard when he got back, and would never let Lu Ye down.
"Haha, the bag is almost full. I estimate that there are around forty to fifty demon cores inside. This time, it's really a bountiful harvest."
The bag on Zhang Man's back wasn't big, and at this moment, he was already full. He couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't be happy too early. We have already entered the Redsnow Ridge for more than ten miles. The beasts are becoming stronger and stronger and there is a high possibility of a Rank 1 beast appearing. Everyone be careful."
Shi Yun reminded.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Zhang Man responded. Just as he was about to continue walking, his expression suddenly changed and his gaze froze.
"Rank 1 Spirit Demon Gale leopard, damn it, how could we encounter a Gale leopard that is known for its speed!"
Zhang Man's expression was ugly, as though he was trying to retreat. However, at this time, the cheetah covered in purple light, noticed everyone and looked over with its emotionless purple eyes.
"Jing Lin, I'm counting on you!"
Shi Yun's voice trembled as she looked at the tall youth Jing Lin beside him.
Amongst them, there was only Jing Lin who had condensed a dragon pearl. If they had met any ordinary beasts, they would have been able to go up and fight with him, but Gale leopard was a demonic beast that cultivated the aura of a Thunder Dragon.
"Hehe, why are you two so anxious? Isn't there still a genius who hasn't made his move yet? I heard him teach my brother a lesson just now and understood how a dragon should cultivate. Yesterday, he even broke the Thunder Dragon Castle's Dragon Formation, so he's definitely not weaker than me."
Jing Lin, who was always polite along the way, finally revealed his true face.
