"Oh, he is Liu Cang, a disciple of Lingshan Sect. He will be one of us in the future." Gu Yuan said casually.
"Forehead……"
Mu San stared at Liu Cang, thinking to himself, "Wasn't the Lingshan Sect destroyed by Gu Yuan? Why did they bring people from the Lingshan Sect back?"
However, even though he didn't understand, Mu San didn't ask any more questions. After all, Gu Yuan often did some incredible things, and he was used to it.
"By the way, have No. 1 and the others come back?" Gu Yuan suddenly asked.
Calculating the time, today is exactly the tenth day, which is the deadline set by Gu Yuan.
"I haven't been to the house yet, but I should be back." Mu San said.
"Well, then I'll leave him to you. I'll go to the house first." Gu Yuan pointed at Liu Cang and said to the blood coffin.
Inside the house, three figures were sitting cross-legged on the ground, emitting a fishy stench.
During these ten days, in order to complete the mission, they hunted monsters every day. Without any supply of elixirs or weapons, they had to find ways to solve all the problems on their own.
“Cough cough cough…”
Number One suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a pool of dark red blood. As soon as the blood fell to the ground, a crackling sound was heard, stirring up a black mist.
"Number One, how are you?"
Number Two and Number Three hurriedly supported Number One. The three of them depended on each other for life and death during these ten days, and advanced and retreated together when facing the monsters. Although it was only a short ten days, it tied them tightly together.
"It's all my fault for being so reckless that I attracted a group of Extreme Shadow Wolves. Otherwise, how could you have been injured?"
Number Three said with a look of self-blame on his face.
Not every demon beast can condense a demon core, so the appearance rate of demon cores is not high.
In addition, Gu Yuan limited the types of monster cores to those of fire attribute, so the requirement of twenty cores seemed not high, but they had to kill nearly two hundred fire attribute monsters before completing the task.
Among them, there were even more than a dozen level three monsters. If they had not cooperated well, they would have been killed there long ago.
However, when they were about to hunt the last monster, they accidentally killed a group of polar shadow wolves.
This kind of monster is extremely fast and has various attack methods. Thirty extreme shadow wolves surrounded them. Fortunately, at the critical moment, No. 1 burst out with considerable combat power and managed to escape.
But Number One was touched by the poison on the Extreme Shadow Wolf's claws and was poisoned by it.
"Hold on, I'm going to find the master!"
Number Three's face was filled with panic, but he was stopped by Number One.
"No! Don't go out! Don't cause trouble for the master. Otherwise, let's go out. I can still hold on!" Number One said with a somewhat disordered breath.
"But you're going to die now!" Number Three shouted.
"The master is here!"
Suddenly, No. 2 looked towards the door in surprise, and Gu Yuan just walked in.
"Master, hurry! Please, save Number One, he's been poisoned!"
Gu Yuan's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Number One calmly, frowned, and walked up quickly.
The ring in his hand flashed, and a green pill was stuffed into No. 1's mouth.
Gu Yuan whispered, "Swallow it and refine the medicinal power."
Number One nodded, then closed his eyes and began to practice his skills, refining the medicinal power.
Number Two and Number Three both breathed a sigh of relief. The master had come, so everything was fine!
"First of all, congratulations on surviving the Black Demon Mountains."
Gu Yuan looked at No. 2 and No. 3 and said, "Is the mission completed?"
Number Three pulled out a bloody bundle from the side, handed it to Gu Yuan, and said, "Master, this time we have obtained a total of thirty second-level fire attribute demon cores, two third-level fire attribute demon cores, and dozens of second-level demon cores of earth, sand, and wind attributes."
Gu Yuan took the bundle, opened it, and looked at the colorful demon cores inside. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect you to exceed the task! Not bad, not bad. I will give you some rewards this time."
"Thanks to the master for cleansing our hair and marrow, our cultivation speed has increased a lot. Otherwise, I would not be able to complete the task so smoothly." Number Three replied.
Gu Yuan nodded, then took out two pills and handed them to No. 2 and No. 3, saying, "You should take these pills too, to avoid any hidden injuries."
Number 2 and Number 3 took the pills with surprise, then sat down cross-legged and began to refine the medicinal power.
Gu Yuan glanced at the demon cores in his hand, put them into the ring, and waited quietly for them to wake up.
Half an hour later, Number One woke up first.
After letting out a light breath, Number One stood up, looking refreshed, and the original feeling of fatigue had completely disappeared.
"Thank you for saving my life, Master!"
Number One came up to Gu Yuan and said respectfully.
Gu Yuan smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"
"I feel like all the toxins in my body have been discharged, and my injuries have also healed a lot. I believe I will be fully recovered in two days." Number One said.
"Well, that's good. How are you? Have you been feeling okay these past ten days?"
Speaking of this, Number One seemed somewhat excited. He glanced at Gu Yuan with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Master, for your cultivation! After the cleansing and marrow removal, I feel that my cultivation speed has increased a lot. Moreover, after these ten days of fighting, I found that this battle is completely different from the Spirit Trial Field. Not only does it put us on the brink of life and death at all times, it is also subtly changing our ability to cooperate. After these short ten days, we have all broken through two realms and are now able to work together very well."
"Oh? Did you break through two levels?"
