Chapter 128 Entering the Mountains
The valley was filled with smoke and dust."Roar!"
After countless punches, the ancient giant bear finally couldn't take it anymore. It let out a roar, and the energy on its paws suddenly surged, and it slapped Xiao Yun away nearly a hundred meters with one blow.
Its fur had long been stained red with blood, and its two huge paws hung unnaturally at its waist, with the bones obviously injured. There was also a slight collapse in its chest, and the roar coming from its throat sounded like a broken fan.
The ancient giant bear was in such a state, and its opponent Xiao Yun was not much better off. He was seen coming down the mountain wall with great difficulty. His originally dazzling thunder armor had already been beaten to pieces, and his left hand also hung down unnaturally. His internal body was in an even more horrible state, with all the bones in his body broken to varying degrees.
Xiao Yun opened his mouth slightly, and a trickle of blood rushed up directly from his throat. The reason why he was able to fight the ancient demon bear now was entirely due to his ruthlessness. The feeling of being free from life and death made his blood boil.
"Huh!" He let out a light breath, and with his trembling right hand he took out a jade bottle from the storage ring. The bottle was filled with many recovery pills, such as Hunyuan Huiqi Pill, Qixing Bone and Blood Pill, and other sixth-level pills. He swallowed them all in one gulp. Suddenly, the surface of his body was like a black hole, constantly absorbing the surrounding energy of heaven and earth.
This is because the medicinal power in the body is too huge, which triggers the crazy circulation of the fighting spirit in the body to digest and absorb the medicinal power. While the fighting spirit is consumed, streams of pure medicinal power are transformed into more fighting spirit to make up for the deficit in the body.
"Roar!"
The changes in Xiao Yun's body naturally did not escape the eyes of the ancient demon bear, but it was powerless. The pain in various parts of its body made it impossible for it to continue fighting.
In the end, it could only let out an unwilling roar, and a faint ochre-colored energy emerged from its huge body, flying straight into the sky and escaping the valley.
The escape of the ancient demon bear seemed to have caused a chain reaction. Many demon beasts repelled the opponents in front of them and then took the opportunity to escape. Only some demon beasts were left behind because they were too slow and were besieged by many powerful beasts.
Xiao Yun watched them run away, and was too lazy to chase them. His physical condition was only one tenth of what it was, and chasing them at this time would be courting death. He simply sat down and slowly recovered.
"Roar!"
Soon, under the siege of many Dou Zongs, the remaining monsters were killed and defeated. As a leopard-shaped monster let out its last roar, the whole valley became a river of blood, and the blood dyed the khaki earth red. There were many monster corpses on the ground, and only a dozen of the more than thirty Dou Zong powerhouses were left.
There were only some broken limbs in the valley, and most of the fallen Dou Zong were swallowed directly by the monsters.
"call!"
Several sounds of breaking wind were heard, and several figures flashed beside Xiao Yun. Among them, a white-haired old man clasped his fists and said, "My name is Tian Ning, and I am the great elder of Tianya Sect. Thank you for your help. If you hadn't killed the beast king in the first place and prevented these monsters from attacking together, I'm afraid we would have died here long ago."
"Thank you, sir!" The others also clasped their fists and said.
"No need to thank me." Xiao Yun waited until he recovered a little before he stood up from the red land. He waved his hand and said calmly, "I have to go into this mountain range anyway. These monsters are guarding here, so of course I have to drive them away. Helping you is like helping myself."
"But I'm a little curious. You're obviously not strong enough to drive away these monsters, so why are you still staying here and not running away?"
Hearing this, several people looked at each other, and finally the white-haired old man stood up and explained in a deep voice: "It's not that we don't want to, but once someone tried to escape, the Red Flame Demon Tiger would attack. Several Dou Zong masters have died in the hands of that beast before."
Knowing the reason, Xiao Yun nodded. These people were quite loyal. After he killed the Red Flame Demon Tiger, they did not flee but continued to help. Afterwards, he wanted to leave the valley. After all, the monsters had been repelled. In order to avoid the monsters from bringing reinforcements for revenge, it would be better for him to find Venerable Feng as soon as possible.
"Are you going into the mountains?" Tian Ning asked when he saw Xiao Yun's actions.
"Yes, I came here with my family elders. I have explored most of the ruins, but I didn't see my elders, so I wanted to go in and take a look."
"Oh? Actually, we are all gathered here to find the strong men in the sect." Tian Ning's cloudy eyes stayed on the young man in front of him, and a smile appeared on his old face. He said, "I wonder if you are interested in going into the mountains with us to search?"
When the others heard Tian Ning inviting Xiao Yun to join, they did not object. Instead, they looked expectant. Although his cultivation level seemed a bit low, Xiao Yun's strength just now was obvious to all.
With his own strength, he first killed the strongest Red Flame Demon Tiger among many magical beasts, and then repelled the seventh-level ancient demon bear. This kind of strength can also become a reliable pillar if you encounter danger in the mountains.
Xiao Yun looked at the people in the valley. At this time, other surviving strong men also came over, with expectant expressions on their faces.
But he still shook his head and said, "Thank you Elder Tianning for the invitation, but I am used to being alone and not used to moving in a group with others, so I'm sorry."
After the words were spoken, the expectant expressions on everyone's faces turned into a little disappointment, but they didn't say anything, just wished Xiao Yun a safe journey.
"But I see that everyone must have suffered considerable injuries after the bloody battle just now." Looking at the people in front of him, Xiao Yun took out two jade bottles from his storage ring and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am an alchemist. Here are some fifth-grade elixirs, the Restoration Pills. Let's share them with everyone."
With a flick of his finger, pills shot out one after another and hovered in front of everyone.
“You are too polite, my friend. You should keep these pills. We were rescued because of you. If we take your pills again, it would be a waste…” Tian Ning waved his hand to refuse. At the same time, the others looked at the pills with some hesitation.
"How about this, everyone? How about exchanging these pills for a monster corpse?" Xiao Yun saw the expressions of the crowd and revealed his real purpose.
"So, what do you think?" After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Elder Tian Ning looked around. Seeing that everyone else nodded, he continued, "Since everyone agrees, I'll do as you say. Take whichever one you like from the ground. I will accept this pill with audacity."
Xiao Yun chuckled, and then he flashed and put the corpse of a seventh-level ancient monster into his storage ring. Then he looked at everyone, clasped his fists, and said with a smile:
"Thank you all, that kid is leaving first!"
He used a dozen low-level fifth-grade pills to exchange for the corpse of a seventh-level ancient demon beast. No matter how you look at it, he made a profit.
In the valley, many strong men watched Xiao Yun's figure disappear into the sky. Elder Tian Ning finally spoke: "Is there any alchemist among us? Can you test whether there is any problem with this pill?"
After a while, a man in a green robe stood up and checked the safety of the pills for everyone.
Even if Xiao Yun were here, he would not be surprised by everyone's concerns. After all, in the Douqi Continent, especially in such ruins, one must be cautious and not rely on luck.
