C7 The First Time He Met Huo Ling'er
Just as the two of them were wondering, several figures suddenly appeared on top of the city wall. The magical items in their hands glowed with five-colored light.
The two slowly approached. Leng Mufeng had pangolin on his shoulder and Tulu was carrying a huge package made of beast skin that was filled to the brim with crystal cores and beast meat.
"Hey, stop, who are you?" A robust middle-aged man on the city wall waved the blade in his hand as he shouted.
"We came here to train in Demonic Beast Forest. It is late in the night, so we wanted to find a place to hide but we unexpectedly came here." Leng Mufeng replied while pointing at the huge bag Tulu was carrying.
The several people on the wall discussed for a while, and the sturdy middle-aged man shouted, "The Martial Fortress does not welcome outsiders. You can go to the north. There will be a cave that you can rest for the night after crossing this hill."
Leng Mufeng looked to the north and asked, "Can we exchange it for some salt and crystal cores?"
The middle-aged man shouted, "We don't have much salt, and using crystals is too expensive. We can give you some."
Leng Mufeng took out the crystal cores of two Level 1 Demonic Beasts and walked down to the city wall. There were eight people on top of them, and they held blades, spears, hammers, axes and other magical equipment. They were all looking at him with a face full of caution.
After throwing the two crystals, Leng Mufeng said, "Change some salt and some clothes, if possible."
The middle-aged man took the crystal core and said to Leng Mufeng, "There's some value in it, thank you." With that, he disappeared.
After a while, the middle-aged man came up, holding a few sets of clothes, half a bag of salt, and a few Jinchuang Drug and threw them to Leng Mufeng: "It's still not too late for you guys to go over.
"Thank you!" Leng Mufeng took the salt, clothes and Jinchuang Drug and walked north with Tulu. They went over a mountain and soon found a cave.
After a simple tidying up, the two of them sat down on the floor, "Big Brother, look at who they are." Tulu asked.
"Maybe it's a stronghold set up here by a noble or a family, but I don't think they look like they're in the army." Leng Mufeng recalled their expressions and said.
Tulu nodded: "Anyway, we'll leave tomorrow, as long as it's not a subordinate of Tian Youyu."
"I heard that there are Level 3 Green Wind Wolves here. Why don't we stay here and find out who they are?"
"Big brother suspects them …"
Leng Mufeng shook his head: "I just feel that it's strange, who would build a city in this Demonic Beast Forest, plus we were originally looking for Level 3 demon beasts, it's just right to be here, and we can also exchange with them for supplies."
Leng Mufeng was obviously in a good mood. He came to the entrance of the cave and picked up some dry wood. He placed a wild boar's leg on top of it and started roasting it with a flint. From time to time, he sprinkled some salt on it.
Tulu licked his lips: "Since when did the Crown Prince learn how to roast meat? It's even more fragrant than I, Old Tu."
As soon as they entered the cave, they carried the Pangolin, which was nibbling on a crystal, while its nose twitched as it ran over and continuously circled around Leng Mufeng.
"Haha, do you think you're as stupid as you are? Even after such a long time, your meat still hasn't roasted well. I've learnt how to read it."
"The Crown Prince is wise and wise, he has extraordinary talent and boundless magic. Of course, roasting a wild boar wouldn't be difficult for you, but look at the Pangolin, it's still hungry. You should hurry up."
"Damn, the pangolin doesn't have any teeth. It can only watch when it's cooked."
"Then how did it nibble on the crystal core?"
"…" "How would I know? But the last time I saw it, I used my claws to cut it open and absorbed the spiritual energy inside."
Two people and one beast stayed in the cave. They went out to hunt Green Wind Wolves during the day, roasted meat during the night, trained during the night, and occasionally went to the Martial Fortress to exchange for some salt, alcohol, and Jinchuang Drug.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. Leng Mufeng had already soared to the Third Martial Stage, and he had also cultivated "Ten Thousand Origin Return" to the Second Stage. It took him three months to reach the first level, and it actually took him one year to reach the second level. The amount of time needed to reach the first level increased fourfold, shocking Leng Mufeng.
Tulu had also advanced to become a Martial Master. Even the Pangolin, which absorbed hundreds of the spiritual energy in the crystal nucleus, evolved into a Rank 2 Demonic Beast. Its body grew to be five feet long and its brown scales lined up more closely.
A level three Green Wind Wolf was already a little useless to them, but if they continued to search for a level four demon beast, the two's magic treasures Blue Edge Sword and Ghost Head Sabers would also not be suitable.
The Cyan Edge Sword was okay to deal with a level one demon beast, but it was a bit difficult to deal with a level two demon beast. To deal with a level three demon beast, he was fighting with his life at the risk of losing his life.
The two of them discussed for a while and decided to make a trip to Wuyang County to see if they could trade for two Illusionary Artifact. If they didn't have one, they could only use the nearest Sanshan County.
This year's hunt, the cave was filled with over a thousand pieces of Green Wind Wolf's wolf skin. Tulu picked up a hundred of them and carried them on his shoulders, preparing to exchange them for some silver from Wuyang County.
The two of them arrived at the Martial Fortress, Leng Mufeng waved his hand towards the robust middle-aged man and shouted: "Mao Wuliu, we want to enter Wuyang County, is there anything we need to bring?"
Mao Wuliu was already familiar with the two of them, so he smiled and said, "No, you guys should leave early and come back early."
When the two of them arrived at the Wuyang County, they discovered that the fighting had stopped. Although there weren't many people walking on the street, it was still very orderly.
"Boss, I'll go exchange for some silver. You can wait for me at the inn first." Tulu said as they arrived at an inn.
"You should go and come back as soon as possible. Don't bother too much with it, we still have some gold. It's enough to buy magical equipment."
"Yes, boss. I understand."
Leng Mufeng carried the pangolin into the tavern and found a table to sit at. Immediately, a waiter ran over and asked politely, "Master, what do you need?"
Leng Mufeng said, "Two pots of liquor and a roasted boar. Hurry up."
"Alright, Master Le. Please wait a moment." The waiter hesitated for a moment before replying.
Leng Mufeng looked around. There weren't many people in the store, but a young girl in red clothes was sitting on the table in front of him. She was seventeen or eighteen years old, had white, greasy skin, was tall and slender, and her clothes were a bit tight.
Leng Mufeng couldn't help but size up the girl a few more times. The girl glared at him with her phoenix eyes and said, "Humph!" He made a sound.
Leng Mufeng shrugged and turned his head to play with the pangolin. At this time, three people walked in. The one in front was a seventeen or eighteen year old youth. He was dressed in rich clothes and had an immortal sword hanging from his waist. It was obvious that he was no ordinary youth.
On his left hand was a golden ring with a pigeon egg-sized ruby inlaid on it. The ruby shone brightly, making it difficult to not attract attention to itself.
Behind him were two old men. They wore white robes, the one on the left had a long saber on his shoulder, the one on the right had a long sword hanging at his waist, and also had immortal qi swirling around him.
Seeing the girl in red, the seventeen or eighteen year old youth immediately revealed a happy expression. "Miss Huo, why are you here?"
"Humph!" You followed me all the way here, why do you think I'm here? "
The young man was thick-skinned enough. He walked over with a smile and sat directly opposite the young lady. "I was ordered by my father to go out and train, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Huo here. We are really fated to meet."
