C15 Mysterious Stone Bead

As long as prey died, it meant Linley's cultivation level would increase. Linley's cultivation level could be said to be able to advance at a tremendous pace, and very quickly, he would reach the level of a late-stage Dou Shi. He believed that it wouldn't be long before he could make another breakthrough.

Gale Valley was the place where Gale Wolves lived. Legend has it that deep in the Whirlwind Forest, there was a level 8 Whirlwind Wolf buried that had accumulated throughout its lifetime. There were countless treasures that humans and demon beasts could only dream of obtaining. However, for thousands of years, all those who were searching for the treasure never returned …

At this very moment, Linley's hunting squad was entering this place that was so secretive that it made people yearn for it, but also made people feel fear.

Linley was walking at the very end of the group. Clenching his clothes tightly, he began to fiddle with the grass in his hands, slowly following the group.

"Miss, it's getting late. Everyone is tired, and we don't know if the road ahead is dangerous or not. We should just rest here for the night." Send some people to scout first, and then decide whether or not to enter Gale Valley. After all, it's not very safe here. " Allen sat on the horse, bent over and asked Saudi snow who was sitting in the carriage.

Saudi snow pulled open the curtain of the carriage, stuck his head out and looked around, "Okay, since everyone is tired, we will set up camp here and rest for the night. Allen, send some of your men down to check it out! I'm also tired, you can leave first. " With that, he closed the curtain.

Aaron's face was gloomy. He slowly straightened his back and shouted, "What are you looking at? Go and set up the tent. Also, you, you, you, go ahead and scout. Report back immediately if anything happens. Scram!" The three people pointed out included Linley, who had just joined them. Linley was stunned for a moment, but then he shrugged and tossed aside the grass in his hands. Picking up his dagger, he leisurely walked back into the forest, but didn't return to Allen. Aaron's face became more and more unsightly. He coldly snorted and made a gesture to wipe his neck with his two trusted aides, then sneered, "Going against me will not end well."

He dismounted from the horse and lay down on the grass. He closed his eyes and began to meditate.

As for Linley, after flying through the forest for roughly two incense sticks worth of time, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some sort of commotion up ahead. Linley agilely stepped onto the tree trunk, flew up to the top of the tree, and began to inspect it. A mile in front of them, there was a cloud of dust rolling down. Many large sized demon beasts were gathered together as if they were waiting for something. Surrounding these large sized demon beasts were densely packed Level 3 demon beasts.

Facing this mountain of treasures, how could he leave empty-handed. However, if he recklessly went there, he might not even be able to see the treasure in front of him. Linley couldn't help but feel both excited and nervous.

"Eh, what is this?" Fortunately, this Soaring Tiger was sleeping soundly, and Linley pulled out his dagger, slowly drawing closer and closer to the light. Realizing that the Soaring Tiger was still sleeping soundly, Linley used the tip of his sword to gently pick it up, and then suddenly discovered that it was a private corpse, and the light coming from the storage ring on the corpse's finger. Linley carefully took it off, then slowly retreated.

Linley flew back, found a tree, and drilled into it. He retrieved the storage ring he had just picked up, then began to use battle-qi to break through the restrictive spells on the storage ring and begin cleaning up the items inside.

"Heavenly Blue Grass, Hemostatic Spirit, Heavenly Cloud Ganoderma …" The pile of healing herbs on top of a small mountain caused Linley to feel dizzy. Hm? At the corner of the storage ring, an exquisite box attracted Linley's attention. Linley carefully took out the wooden box, then gently opened it. Within, he only saw a green stone bead covered with small holes, and a faint layer of black gas surrounding it. This storage ring has a huge collection of items. This means that this person definitely wasn't an ordinary person when he was alive. To be able to make such a senior store such an extraordinary treasure, there must be some hidden secrets within. I have to be careful. Linley thought to himself.

"Snap." Linley sent out a surge of battle-qi, shooting it into the stone bead.

The stone bead emitted a dazzling black light, coordinating with the devouring power in Linley's body, and constantly devouring Linley's battle-qi. Linley formed a seal with his hands, attempting to stop the stone bead from devouring, but it seemed useless. Linley's forehead began to sweat, because he discovered that it seemed as though his level of power as a Da Dou Shi was decreasing, slowly transforming into a Dou Shi. Linley hurriedly used his short sword to chop at the stone bead, but the pearl didn't budge an inch.

"Hmph." Linley was shocked. He let out a cold snort, also unleashing a vicious aura. The heavens have taken my life, but are you trying to take it away from me with a mere crappy stone?

Linley directly sucked the stone bead into his body, then used his battle-qi to wrap it around it, slowly pulling it into the vortex. The battle-qi vortex suddenly began to spin at high speed, swallowing the stone bead. He half knelt on the ground and used his blade to support his body so that he would not fall. But despite that, Linley found it hard to persevere.

"Ah!" Linley couldn't help but cry out, but his desire to defeat the stone pearl was even greater. Linley sat down in the lotus position, stabbing the dagger into the ground and forming a seal with his hands.

"Battle skill, Burning Heaven!" Linley used a secret skill, forcibly burning his own battle-qi. Didn't you want to swallow it?

"Ah, drink!" Linley's entire body was filled with battle-qi, and a layer of green battle-qi clothing slowly appeared. At this moment, Linley seemed like an evil spirit that had just returned from the Infernal Realm.

"So this kid is here. Hehe, if we kill him, my lord will definitely reward us heavily!"

Right at this moment, Aaron's other two guards, following Linley's miserable shrieks, found him.

The two drew their sabers, then slowly walked towards Linley.

"Be careful, this kid is a little strange. He is clearly a Dou Shi, but he is able to condense Dou Qi cloaks. We have to be careful and not kill ourselves." One of the guards said.

"Hmm?" Right at this moment, Linley noticed those two unwelcome guests. "Allen sent you two to kill me, right?!" "But you two alone don't seem enough!" With great difficulty, Linley stood up.

"Humph, but after using your secret skill, you forcefully increased your cultivation. In the end, you are just a newly advanced Dou Shi. In front of us two established Dou Shi, you have no way to continue living!" Die, boy! "

"Kill!"

"Humph!" With just you? Even if I am new, even if I am on the verge of death, if I were to risk my life to kill all of you, I would think that it would not be a difficult task. Linley let out a muffled grunt, forcibly activating his battle-qi cyclone and his entire battle-qi. But what was exciting was that the stone bead seemed to sense Linley's death wish, and didn't further devour Linley's battle-qi. If the Qi tornado was damaged, one's cultivation would be reduced to that of an ordinary human, and the worst case scenario would be for the body to explode and die, leaving not even a complete corpse. But at this moment in time, Linley no longer cared about these things.

Previously, he didn't have any power. He could only watch as his family and friends were slaughtered, but now, two random people wanted to take his life. How could Linley not be angry?

"Ha!" Those who block me will die, and those who block me will die! " Linley immediately released all of his battle-qi, then sent it out of his body, flying at high speed towards the two personal guards.

...

"Uh, ah, my head hurts. My whole body hurts, huh? Didn't I self-destruct my cyclone? I'm not supposed to... "I, I am actually only one step away from becoming a Dou Wang and the stone bead has disappeared. What exactly is going on?" Linley's belly was filled with questions. Why was it that despite the fact that he was going to die, he was still fine, and his cultivation level had advanced as well?

"Right, where are the two of them?" With great difficulty, Linley used the short sword to prop himself up. His entire body was in so much pain that Linley nearly lost consciousness.

Whew." Linley let out a long sigh. He had to hurry up and find a place to treat his wounds. Otherwise, if he went out like this, he would just casually bump into a monster. Finally, twenty meters away, in a patch of grass, he found two dried corpses. The reason they were dried corpses was because the flesh and blood had already disappeared, leaving behind only a layer of white bones.

After devouring all of his essence, blood, and flesh, Linley murmured to himself. Suddenly, Linley's body trembled. "Can it be …" "Indeed, my father's seal has loosened a bit. The blood essence of the two of them could very well have been devoured by me, and that mysterious stone pearl might very well have been used by my father when I self-detonated the vortex, then swallowed the essence energy of the two of them. It would have caused me to recreate the vortex and also allow my cultivation to be a step closer. The most important thing right now was to raise his cultivation level as soon as possible. Only then would he be able to behead his enemy. "Hmph, Alan, don't blame me for being unjust even if you are heartless!" Linley quickly understood what was going on. He retracted his aura, then returned to the tree hole he had been hiding in. Luck had healed his wounds. It was fortunate that he got so many healing panaceas from the dead senior's storage ring, otherwise, it would be a pipe dream for him to recover in such a short period of time.

He was speechless for a day.

Just like this, a day passed quickly. "I've been out for two days already, but I don't know what's going on with the main army. Right now, they are all gathering, and the hunting squad can be surrounded and attacked at any time, so I don't care about Allen's life or death, but Miss Sha usually treats me quite well, and that counts as my favor. I have no choice but to repay her kindness, and I have to hurry up and go back." Linley quickly got up, dismounted his dagger, climbed out of the tree, and condensed his battle-qi on his feet, then flew back.

However, just as Linley was about to return to the camp, a pungent smell of blood assaulted his nose.
