Chapter 12: Third-level Monster
Above the forest, the branches were intertwined and dense, making it difficult for sunlight to reach the ground. The little sunlight that did leak out was like colorful insects, as if crawling on moss and pale red withered fern leather. In the dense woods, a fire tiger was lazily basking in the sun, looking very comfortable and relaxed. Suddenly, she felt a weight on her back, and when she turned around, she saw a human standing on its back. Furious, she rolled over and knocked the person to the ground, spitting out a fireball from her mouth towards her face. Leng Youran had just landed on the ground and hadn't reacted when she was knocked to the ground. She looked up and saw a fireball flying towards her quickly. She quickly used her spiritual power to dodge it. Leng Youran's luck was really bad. She was teleported to the back of a monster as soon as she was teleported. She was so scared that her heart was beating non-stop. This was her first encounter with a monster! Across from her, a creature resembling a tiger glared at her with fierce eyes, as if it wanted to bite her to death. But no, this wasn't a tiger. She'd seen pictures of it in the spiritual beast encyclopedia her mother had given her. This was a Flame Tiger, a third-tier demon beast, equivalent to a human at the initial stage of foundation building. Oh, what kind of luck! She'd just emerged and landed on the back of a third-tier demon beast. Was heaven playing a trick on her? She had no choice but to prioritize her life. She quickly pulled her flying sword from her storage bag. A flash of light appeared in her left hand, revealing a fifth-grade talisman. Just as she finished with these, the Flame Tiger's attack arrived. Another fireball flew towards her. Leng Youran dodged quickly, then swung her right flying sword, sending a golden light blazing straight at the Flame Tiger. However, her cultivation was limited, and the attack didn't do the Flame Tiger any harm. Instead, it enraged it. With a roar, it leaped towards Leng Youran.
Leng Youran, who was fighting for the first time, panicked immediately. She hurriedly threw out the talisman to block the attack of the flame tiger and poured her spiritual power into the flying sword. The flying sword shone brightly and shot towards the heart of the flame tiger. The flame tiger was first injured by the talisman and then by the flying sword, and immediately went crazy. It rushed towards her regardless of anything, and grabbed Leng Youran with its sharp claws. The inexperienced Leng Youran was shocked and used her spiritual power to dodge and flee quickly. She looked so embarrassed, and there were wounds of varying sizes on her body. She hurriedly took out five talismans from the storage bag and threw them at the flame tiger. Several talismans flashed with spiritual light and fell on the flame tiger's body. There was a loud explosion, and the mad flame tiger was blown to pieces before it could react. After seeing that the flame tiger had no breath, Leng Youran immediately fell to the ground. Wow! It was a rare opportunity that he was eaten by the tiger. His combat experience was really insufficient. It seemed that he had to accumulate more combat experience in the future. There should be many sparring partners in the forest. He sat on the ground in a daze for a while, then quickly stood up and took out his flying sword to collect the usable materials and some tender meat from the flame tiger into the storage bag. He cast a fireball to burn the remaining corpse, and checked the surroundings. Not far away, there was a three-hundred-year-old bell rain flower, which was a main ingredient in refining pills for cultivators in the foundation-building stage. He carefully transplanted it into the space, looked around to see if there was anything useful, and then used the wind-controlling technique to leave the scene.
What she didn't know was that not long after she left, a small group of people appeared in the forest. When they saw the fighting scene, they were shocked. The bell rain flower guarded by the flame tiger had been picked. The leading monk said hatefully, "Find me, who picked the bell rain flower?" His men split up to look for it, and after a quarter of an hour they all turned back and shook their heads at the leader. The young leader looked at the place where the battle had taken place, but in the end found nothing, so he turned around and led his men away with a frustrated look on his face.
I have been in the dense forest for half a month. Apart from encountering a group of monsters, I haven't met anyone else. But this is a good thing. It is better not to encounter people before I can protect myself.
In the past half month, she has become very proficient in the use of spiritual power. In the beginning, when fighting monsters, she was always injured and fled in a panic. She was always injured and suffered minor injuries. The most serious injury she suffered recently was the one she spent three months recuperating in the space. Fortunately, there was a space, otherwise she would have died countless times. Now, although she still fled in a panic when fighting monsters, at least she no longer suffered serious injuries. As for minor injuries! They were inevitable. Who made her have low cultivation and little combat experience? Moreover, she basically picked first- and second-order monsters to practice fighting. When fighting low-order monsters, she tried not to use talismans, and tried to use spiritual power as much as possible. She would only use talismans when encountering high-order monsters. Just now, she encountered a third-order monster. This time, she used a talisman array composed of seventy-two first-order talismans, and used a trap array and an illusion array to tire the wind wolf to death. This battle was the easiest one. After this experience, she would have certain experience in fighting the enemy. In this way, she would have a certain ability to protect herself when she went out to gain experience, and quickly took the useful materials from the wind wolf. She put the materials and monster blood into the storage bag, shot out a fireball to deal with the useless things and left quickly. This was also the experience she had accumulated in the past few days. If she didn't leave in time, other monsters would smell the blood and come over. She didn't have the energy to deal with one or several monsters. This kind of thing happened once. She had just killed a second-level monster and was sitting on the ground to rest when another second-level monster smelled the blood and came over. It took her a lot of effort to kill the monster, but she suffered a lot of loss that time. She rested in the space for several days before recovering.
In the past two weeks, in addition to hunting monsters, she also picked a lot of spiritual herbs. She also transplanted a lot of spiritual herb seedlings in the space. About half an acre of land has been planted with spiritual herbs. She has become very familiar with the experience of fighting. She has been here for a long time. She thought it was time to go out. It was too lonely here. She glanced in the direction of the forest and turned to walk out of the woods. She thought about it. She had been in this world for nine years. The last time her mother took her to the market, she hadn't met anyone else. Alas! She had been alone for too long. She wanted to go to a place where people live and feel the lively atmosphere.
After traveling for half a day, Luck Controlled the Wind Art finally saw the shadow of the city wall in the distance. On the city gate were written the three domineering characters of Lingyun City. There were two monks in armor at the city gate, who collected spirit stones from the monks entering the city, and then gave the person a jade token before letting them in. Leng Youran walked forward and lined up at the back of the line. Half a quarter of an hour later, it was finally her turn. She heard the monk guarding the city mechanically saying that it would cost a low-grade spirit stone to enter the city. Leng Youran handed over a low-grade spirit stone, received a jade token, and strode into the city.
As soon as she entered the city, five or six cultivators in the early stage of Qi training rushed towards her. "Daoist, you need a guide. You only need thirty spirit beads. There is nothing in Lingyun City that I don't know." A group of people introduced themselves in a flurry. The complicated voices made her head hurt. Leng Youran looked at these people and pointed at the one at the back who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was standing behind the crowd and looking at her expectantly. This was a shy young man. "Let's take him!" The young man was delighted to hear her words, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted. "Daoist, where are you going? I have lived here for more than ten years and I am very familiar with it." The young man led the way for Leng Youran. Leng Youran thought for a while and asked the young man, "Well, take me to the place where you rent the cave, and then tell me about the things here and whether there are any taboos here." The young man smiled shyly and told Leng Youran about the things in the city, mainly to tell her about the things in the city. What are the taboos, where can't go, who can't offend, and where to buy anything? As he walked towards the rented cave, he talked about the situation in Lingyun City, "By the way, fellow Daoist, this is a place suitable for people in the Qi training period. It is the market in the west. There are stalls there for casual cultivators. There are also many good things in it. We who are in the Qi training period will basically go there for a look." The young man leading the way suddenly thought of something and talked about it with Leng Youran. Then he looked up and saw the shop in front of him and said to Leng Youran, "Fellow Daoist, we have arrived at the mission hall for the rented cave. Do you still need me to take you to other places?" Leng Youran thought about it and felt that there was nothing he needed to do, so he gave him a low-grade spirit stone and let him leave. The young man took the spirit stone and was stunned at first. When she came to her senses, she saw Leng Youran had already walked in. She thanked him and turned to leave. With this spirit stone, he could prepare two more medicines for his mother.
