Qin Ran sat cross-legged, pretending to heal his wounds. His physical injuries slowly recovered under his control... just like a normal person recovering from injuries after taking a pill.
Seeing that he was seriously injured, Tie Ruonan did not ask him to participate in the hunting operation on the third night. On the fourth night, when someone was even more seriously injured, he was asked to continue the mission.
He held up his sword, activated the stealth effect of his black clothes, blended in with the night walkers, and followed Tie Ruonan out of the cave and to the outside of the formation.
No one spoke, and in silence, the night walkers each chose a direction where no one was walking and ran out.
Qin Ran was different from other night walkers. Other night walkers went looking for people to kill, but he didn't. His mission today was to find a deserted place and refine the weakened version of the Death Pill.
He pushed his speed to the limit, descended along Shenhua Mountain, and soon arrived at the seaside. Seeing that there was no one around, he plunged into the sea.
After diving more than 20 meters into the sea, he cast the spell "Dream Bubble" to pull out a bubble, isolating the surrounding sea water and wrapping him inside.
The reason why we only dived to a depth of twenty meters was because of time constraints.
The time that the night walkers come out to perform their missions every night is very short. Once that time is exceeded, they will not wait any longer. They will just assume that the night walkers who did not return on time are dead, and they will go directly into the cave.
And based on the nature of the night walkers as a group, I'm afraid that if they really don't go back at the specified time, there will probably be some special way to make the night walkers really die.
The bubbles interact with the seawater and become stable in it.
Qin Ran's body flipped over and over in the bubble, and medicinal herbs flew out of his body one by one and also floated in the bubble.
These are the medicinal herbs he hid.
After taking out the herbs, Qin Ran took out the bottle of blood-replenishing pills given by Tie Ruonan without pausing, and then began to refine the death-soothing pills.
He stretched out his hand, and balls of water flew out of his body, each ball of water wrapped around a medicinal herb. Under the control of his soul, the essence of the medicinal power was extracted.
He was very familiar with the Death Announcement Pill, and he had used all the herbs here before, so he knew their properties. Therefore, refining this simplified version of the Death Announcement Pill was not difficult for him, if not easy.
The only problem was that he had never used elixirs as medicinal materials to refine elixirs before. This was his first attempt…
Sure enough, something went wrong!
It is actually quite difficult to refine elixirs using medicinal materials as elixirs, because not only do you need to understand the medicinal properties and components of the medicinal materials, but you also need to understand the medicinal properties and composition structure of the elixir you are refining.
Qin Ran didn't understand, and immediately prepared to dismantle the blood-replenishing pill.
And he didn't even know what medicinal materials the blood-replenishing pills in Tianhai Territory were made of. As soon as he disassembled it, "pop", the balance of the medicinal power of the pill was broken, and it was instantly scrapped and turned into a useless pill.
"That won't work..."
Qin Ran looked at the scrapped blood-replenishing pill and shook his head.
"It's obviously too late to learn how to make elixirs now. However... this blood-replenishing pill cannot be wasted." He looked at the various medicinal essences that had been refined on the other side, "I can integrate the medicinal essence of the Death-Reporting Pill into these blood-replenishing pills."
Powerful spiritual power flew out instantly, and he formed the refined medicinal essence into a rough pill according to the medicinal structure rules of the Death-Announcement Pill, and then violently extracted the water from it, and obtained a simplified version of the Death-Announcement Pill.
However, he used all the herbs he had embezzled to refine this simplified version of the death pill, but still only got five pills.
"Five simplified death pills cannot kill more than thirty monks."
He thought about it and crushed three of the death-reporting pills directly, then poured out all the blood-replenishing pills in the medicine bottle, and then wrapped the blood-replenishing pills with the ground death-reporting pills.
Tie Ruonan gave him a total of twelve blood-replenishing pills. He ate one last night, so there were eleven left. Now he rubbed the three death-reporting pills into the eleven blood-replenishing pills, and finally got eleven death-reporting-blood-replenishing pills.
"There are still twenty-six Night Walkers, but only thirteen pills..." He sighed, "Add in the strong ones like Tie Ruonan and the red-clothed man. It's still not going to be easy."
...Another Night Walker died last night.
But whether it is easy to do or not is a matter for later. Now, he has to hurry back.
After collecting the bubbles, Qin Ran returned to the shore and quickly strolled along the coast. He soon found a lone young cultivator. He approached him with the Flying Immortal Technique and easily killed him with a single sword strike.
Then he repeatedly used the Flying Fairy Technique, and when Tie Ruonan was counting the number of people, he just managed to return to the formation.
Tie Ruonan glanced at him, recognized him through the concealing effect of the black clothes, and asked, "Why are you so slow?"
"The injury hasn't healed yet." Qin Ran replied.
Tie Ruonan accepted his reason and without saying anything more, took him back to the cave.
Entering the cave, Qin Ran felt that this place was more terrifying, bloodier, and more depressing. The breath of death was in the air, and he seemed to be able to smell it.
He looked at the mountain wall on the opposite bank, the huge pit under the mountain wall, and the strange monks beside the pit, and felt that this was the holy place of some evil cult.
This place is like hell. If the seal of the Shenhua demon was opened in such a horrible way, how would the Shenhua demon feel if he knew about it?
"But, that's how people are..."
Kieran felt somewhat complicated about throwing the ignorant and innocent little monk on his shoulders into the giant pit.
After all, he had not completely lost his humanity, and when he sacrificed this completely innocent little monk into the giant pit, he still felt a surge of pity in his heart.
"This damn cultivation world is just like this..." He sighed in his heart.
But he immediately had doubts again, "Is this the way the world is, or am I the only one like this?"
But he didn't have much time to feel reluctant and confused, because he needed to turn around as quickly as possible with a blank expression and leave the huge pit as if nothing had happened.
"I'll try to kill as fast as possible!"
He turned his back on the huge pit and walked towards the side of the cave, making promises to the innocent little monk in the huge pit in his heart.
After finding a place to sit cross-legged, Qin Ran counted and found that two more night walkers were missing. It seemed that two more had died tonight.
"Twenty-four Nightwalkers left."
He sat cross-legged facing the sealed wall on the side of the huge pit in the cave. So even though he closed his eyes, his soul was still looming between his brows, looking at the seal on the wall and carefully dismantling the basic array pattern in the seal.
The arrangement of the island owner in this cave needs to be planned, and the seal set by the old demon Shenhua in Shenhua Mountain needs to be learned. Both hands must be grasped...
Time flies, and it is the fifth night of Qin Ran's arrival at Shenhua Mountain. He wakes up from his meditation and dismantling of the formation.
After a whole day and night of dismantling, he didn't figure out a single array pattern. Instead, he was a little confused by the seal of the Shenhua old demon... But he didn't care, because this was the normal process of learning a new thing.
He stood up with his sword in hand and walked towards Tie Ruonan together with other Night Walkers who were about to carry out their mission.
Tie Ruonan saw him and asked, "Are you healed?"
"Yes!" Qin Ran nodded, "It won't affect the operation."
Tie Ruonan stopped asking questions, counted the people, and led them out of the cave.
Similarly, after leaving the cave and the formation, all the night walkers scattered in all directions with knives in hand, each one of them as terrifying as the Black Impermanence walking in the darkness.
After Qin Ran ran in one direction for a while, he saw that everyone had dispersed, so he chased after the Night Walker closest to him.
Soon, he was discovered by the Night Walker, who stopped on the spot, turned around and faced him, with his sword lit, ready to chop at any time.
"Why are you following me? If you can't explain it clearly, you will die!" he said without any emotion.
Qin Ran stopped, slowly and non-hostilely took out the bottle of pills from his arms, poured out a pill, and threw it to the night walker through the air.
"I don't mean anything else. I just hope you die later." He replied, "If you live a few more days, I can live a few more days too."
Night Walker took the pill and looked at it, but he was just a crude body cultivator, how could he tell that there was something wrong with the pill? He looked at Qin Ran again and felt that the reason Qin Ran gave was reasonable... Of course, the most important thing was that Tie Ruonan handed the pill to Qin Ran in front of them, so he didn't think about it anymore and put the pill away.
"Stop following me!" He turned and left.
Qin Ran stood there and watched him leave without any radical behavior.
The job of the Night Walkers is to kill people. Those who kill people will be killed. So it is normal for some people to die. And as the Shenhuashan incident goes on, because of the long night battle, more and more Night Walkers will die. This is also normal.
But despite this, Tie Ruonan still felt that the casualties among Night Walkers were a bit too much recently.
For three consecutive days, at least three night walkers failed to return every day.
By now, she went out to count the number of people and found that there were only twelve Night Walkers in the cave.
She realized something was wrong, as if someone was targeting them specifically.
She saw the Night Walker who killed the young master of Evil Shark Island opened his eyes and stood up, approaching her. She found that this Night Walker was really powerful. The Night Walker had casualties every night. He was already so seriously injured, but after carrying out missions for so many days in a row, his complexion was getting better and better.
When the night walker came over, she warned the other night walkers, "Be careful. Something is not right these days. It may be that other islands are deliberately targeting us. Be careful."
The Night Walkers nodded silently.
Qin Ran also nodded.
And just as Tie Ruonan saw, his complexion was really getting better and better, because not only were there only twelve Night Walkers left, he also had six death-reporting-blood-replenishing pills left, and two of the weakened version of the death-reporting pills were still there.
Not only were the number of night walkers in the cave decreasing as planned, but just now, he had made a breakthrough in the seal on the old demon Shenhua... and disassembled the first basic rune of the formation.
All things are difficult at the beginning, but disassembling the basic seal runes later will surely become very simple.
Even though there were only twelve Night Walkers left, Tie Ruonan still took them out to carry out the mission. Kieran lamented the cruelty of the oppressors while doing the same thing and approached a Night Walker.
After the night walker stopped, he threw a death-blood-replenishing pill to him.
As time goes by, the number of hunting increases, and the Night Walkers suffer more and more injuries, so the Night Walkers' demand for elixirs becomes greater and greater.
Qin Ran’s pills are getting better and better.
However, tonight, the night walker did not catch his pill.
Night Walker let the pill fall to the ground, looked at Qin Ran coldly, and said, "It's you!"
"What?" Qin Ran asked in confusion.
"You are the one who secretly hunted Night Walker, right? You are the traitor!" Night Walker said coldly.
“What traitor? Why would I kill Night Walker…” Qin Ran argued innocently.
But at this moment, he suddenly found that in the darkness around him, someone was coming towards him with a knife.
His face darkened little by little, and the pupil illusion world was activated.
Right in front of him, walking towards him with a cold face and a sword in hand, was Tie Ruonan!
The remaining eleven Night Walkers also surrounded him!
