"It's really a dog-skin plaster, I can't shake it off."
Outside Qingzhou City, Fang Chen was like a cheetah, running wildly through the mountains and forests at extremely fast speeds.
When leaving Qingzhou City, Fang Chen also chose a fierce horse. After leaving the official road, he did not ride the horse, but got into the path, with the purpose of getting rid of the people behind him.
Although this departure had the purpose of luring the snake out of its hole, Fang Chen did not want to expose his whereabouts earlier.
Who would have thought that there are still several flexible figures hanging far behind.
"They are all experts at the fifth level of body tempering and above, and they are carefully selected elites. Whether it is tracking or movement speed, they are not comparable to ordinary people."
Fang Chen sneered, and the spiritual power in his body circulated, and his speed surged.
In just the blink of an eye, Fang Chen disappeared into the dense mountain forest.
"Damn it, I lost it!"
After a few breaths, three figures whizzed over, one of them with an angry face.
"This kid is really weird, but he is so small in the second level of body tempering, he can be so fast."
The other person was a little frustrated and said: "What should we do now? We have lost the target. It's not easy for us to explain to the superiors."
"It doesn't matter."
The last person said: "We have a lot of people dispatched this time. No matter how capable that kid is, he will not be able to escape this time."
“You’re right, keep chasing!”
…
"I left Qingzhou City this time not only to improve my cultivation, but also to verify something."
Looking at the derivative mountains in front of me, a glint flashed in Fang Chen's eyes.
The choice to enter the Derivative Mountains was not an impulsive move by Fang Chen, but the result of his careful consideration.
For one thing, in recent days, his cultivation seemed to have reached a bottleneck and he was unable to break through.
Secondly, it is also to confirm some of the capabilities of the Tianji Tower.
As for the Shen family's targeting, it is only a small part of the reason.
The Derivative Mountain Range is the largest mountain range in Qingzhou. It spans three states and has a vast territory. Countless powerful monsters live in it.
The center of the mountain range is known as a forbidden area for warriors, and even those who are strong in the cave heaven realm dare not set foot there easily.
Fang Chen has been to this derivative mountain range several times, so he is familiar with it.
Picking a random direction, Fang Chen plunged into the mountains.
Fang Chen didn't mind either, he just continued to go deeper, as if he already had his goal.
"If I remember correctly, there is a swamp one thousand three hundred meters away from here, and there is a Zhuling fruit growing there."
I don't know, it has not been taken away.
Fang Chen planned to try his luck first.
Using the Jiying Shenfa, Fang Chen was like a ghost, quickly shuttled through the dense mountain forest, heading straight to the place where Zhu Lingguo grew.
Half an hour later, Fang Chen lurked cautiously in a dense forest, looking at the swamp not far away.
"The Zhu Lingguo is indeed still there."
Looking at the small tree as tall as a person in the swamp, with three crimson fruits the size of a baby's fist hanging on it, Fang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhu Lingguo is one of the main medicinal materials for refining the body tempering pill. It has the effect of tempering the body, cleansing the muscles and cutting the marrow.
It's just that Zhu Lingguo has extremely strong medicinal effects and cannot be taken directly. It needs to be mixed with other medicinal materials and refined into a pill before it can be taken and absorbed by warriors.
The three Zhuling Fruits in front of you must have been medicinal for hundreds of years, and the energy contained in them is extremely terrifying.
"Three Zhu Ling Fruits, if refined, will definitely allow me to break through easily."
Fang Chen licked his lips, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"However, there is a big guy hiding in this swamp. If you want to get the Zhuling Fruit, you need to get rid of it."
Looking around, Fang Chen did not act immediately, but carefully hid his body.
The swamp crocodile is a second-level high-level monster.
A mature swamp crocodile is comparable to a peak warrior in the Body Tempering Realm.
Coupled with the scales on its body, which are as hard as iron, even those with strong spiritual vein realm cannot easily break through its defense.
Moreover, the swamp has a vicious habit and will only leave the swamp for a short time except when eating, so Fang Chen needs to wait for the opportunity.
Nearly two hours later, just when Fang Chen was getting a little impatient, a change finally appeared in the swamp.
I saw only a black swamp with bubbling water.
Suddenly, a black crocodile as big as a calf emerged from the swamp.
Swamp Crocodile climbed ashore, shook off the mud on his body, and looked back at the three Zhuling Fruits on the tree, with a flash of anthropomorphic greed in his eyes.
As long as you wait for a while, it reaches the maturity stage, and after eating the Zhu Lingguo, you can break through to the third level.
This is its unique opportunity!
The swamp crocodile's protruding dead fish eyes looked around vigilantly. If nothing unusual was found, it turned into a bolt of lightning and penetrated into the dense forest.
No one could have imagined that this seemingly huge and clumsy swamp crocodile could actually burst out with such terrifying speed.
"It's now!"
Fang Chen, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly burst out with the spiritual power he had accumulated for a long time, turned into a cheetah, and rushed towards the Zhu Lingguo.
Before Fang Chen could approach the swamp, a shrill roar came from the dense forest, causing Fang Chen's complexion to change.
Looking back, I saw the swamp crocodile dragging an elk about the same size as myself and heading back quickly.
The swamp crocodile saw Fang Chen at a glance, and became furious after being stunned. He abandoned the elk and rushed towards Fang Chen angrily.
"So fast?"
Fang Chen gritted his teeth and used Jiying's footwork to the extreme. He jumped up and directly crossed a few meters away. The moment he passed by the vermilion fruit tree, he picked off a vermilion fruit.
Listening to the roar coming from behind, Fang Chen smiled lightly and was about to leave, but his expression suddenly changed and he rolled on the ground.
「Duh duh duh!」
Three steel arrows were seen, whizzing towards them as fast as lightning, piercing deeply into the ground, and the tails of the arrows trembled, making people's hearts palpitate.
"Tsk, the reaction is quite fast."
A sinister sneer came, and three strong men were seen slowly walking out of the dense forest, exuding a strong iron-blooded evil aura.
And the three of them were dressed very strangely. They were all holding crossbows, broadswords and long swords on their backs, and there was something like a fishing net hanging on their waists.
"Bounty hunter?"
Looking at the three strangely dressed men in front of him, Fang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Bounty hunter, also known as demon hunter.
Normally, he goes into the mountains to hunt monsters and beasts, and looks for spiritual herbs and elixirs in exchange for cultivation resources.
Every bounty hunter is a ruthless person with vicious methods.
They not only hunt monsters, but also kill people and seize treasures!
The three bounty hunters in front of me, two are at the fourth level of body tempering and one is at the sixth level of body tempering.
But if the three of them join forces, even if they face the eighth level of body tempering, they will not be at a disadvantage.
"Boy, hand over what you have on you."
The big man at the head, with an arrow in his left hand and an ax in his right hand, with a ferocious look on his face: "Of course, there is also the Zhuling Fruit, you have to take it out for me obediently!"
