The territory of the Shihu Ridge was filled with woodland s. The dense vegetation that formed this forest was extremely suitable for the breeding of Demonic Beast.

"Two Red Horned Bulls!"

Li Wenchang suddenly opened his mouth, and the group of people immediately stopped in their tracks. Looking over, they saw two sturdy looking Demonic Beast s staring at everyone, the red ox horns on their heads releasing a faint red luster.

Chu Hongling and Luo Xiu were secretly on alert, when a man's voice came from beside them: "It's just two oxen, look at me!"

Wei Jun had not even finished speaking before he suddenly stepped forward and channeled all of his energy into his palms. In the blink of an eye, two palms that were filled with immense power heavily smashed onto the bull's head.

Bang, bang!

The two tall and sturdy bodies of the Barbaric Cows fell to the ground, killed by Wei Jun in one move.

"Hehe, just two Martial Disciple early stage Demonic Beast. It really wasn't difficult to clean them up." Wei Jun's tone was rather disdainful and filled with satisfaction.

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand towards Li Wenchang, and the latter obediently went forward to collect the spoils of war that Wei Jun had hunted down, the two animal core.

"Adding these two in, I obtained twenty to thirty animal core today."

Li Wenchang laughed and said, at the same time he waved the cloth bag in his hand towards the three of them.

Wei Jun nodded his head. Then, as usual, after Li Wenchang finished cleaning up, he walked towards the corpses of the two Barbaric Cows alone. He then took out the red sand gourd and started to chant an incantation to activate it.

Gurgle Gurgle

Not long after, the two Barbarian Cow corpses in front of Luo Xiu also reacted. A stream of blood flowed out from each of the cow's body, and it was only the size of a finger, but its speed was extremely fast, like an arrow that was accurately injected into the red sand gourd.

whoosh whoosh *

In a short moment, the two bodies, which were even larger than humans, shriveled up like deflated rubber balls. The several hundred kilograms of beast blood in their bodies actually poured into the bottle gourd in Luo Xiu's hands.

"He collects beast blood every day. I wonder what he plans to do with it."

Wei Jun glanced at Luo Xiu from the side. Although his tone was filled with disdain, when his eyes stopped at the red sand gourd, it had a hint of fire in them.

Chu Hongling and Li Wenchang had also noticed that the bottle gourd in Luo Xiu's hands was only of an ordinary size, it looked as if it could only hold two to three kilograms of water at most. But during the month they were active in Shihu Ridge, every time Luo Xiu finished killing the Demonic Beast, he would go collect beast blood.

In other words, the bottle gourd in Luo Xiu's hand was definitely a treasure, which was not common for the new inner sect disciples.

"It's been packed for a month, it's finally full!"

Luo Xiu grinned and put the lid back satisfyingly. He could go back to the Tibetan Cliff now.

Chu Hongling looked at the smile on Luo Xiu's face and finally couldn't hold back his curiosity. She walked forward: "Junior Brother Luo Xiu, I see that you collect the blood of a Demonic Beast everyday. Why do you need so much beast blood?"

Luo Xiu smiled mysteriously: "This is what Senior puerariae radix has requested."

"It's like this ?"

Chu Hongling nodded. Seeing that Luo Xiu did not want to say more, he did not ask further.

On the other hand, Wei Jun thought for a while, and thought: So it was because of Old Mr. Ge's instructions, then it seems that the bottle gourd was given by Old Mr. Ge, it must be a artefact!

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's stop here and find a place to rest."

Wei Jun looked at the sky and ordered.

Chu Hongling frowned slightly, but did not say anything, the other two did not object.

The four of them found an empty area nearby and started a bonfire. Then, they set up some animal repellent powder s and temporarily, Camp finished.

"Today, we have harvested a total of thirty animal core. The three of us will get seven each, while Senior-apprentice Brother Wei has contributed a little more, so we will get nine."

After Li Wenchang finished speaking, he took out animal core s from his cloth bag and distributed them to everyone.

Wei Jun relied on himself to kill the most Demonic Beast, and every day, he would put the last of the Demonic Beast into his own pocket. In the past month, he had actually taken more than fifty animal core s than the other three.

Even so, because his Cultivation Level was the highest and he was the most aggressive, no one bothered with him.

On the surface, Chu Hongling did not mention it, but instead, she felt annoyed. This kind of person, who only had small stomachs, would find it difficult to accomplish anything in the end after calculating a little.

When the four of them got the animal core, they would take turns to send one person to guard, and the rest would immediately absorb the spirit energy from the animal core and begin cultivating.

Different from the way Chu Hongling used the animal core to absorb the animal core's vitality while holding it in her hands, Luo Xiu had to use the flame palm every time to burn the animal core's vitality and absorb it into her body using the strange method of the Qi Gathering Formula.

After a month of hunting in the Shihu Ridge, everyone had gotten their hands on more than two hundred animal core. After absorbing the energy, everyone's Cultivation Level had increased significantly, especially Luo Xiu's.

"Phew!"

After two hours, Luo Xiu finally finished cultivating and let out a long breath.

"You actually burnt the animal core. I say, Luo Xiu, do you have any cultivation common sense?"

Wei Jun, who had already finished cultivating, mocked: "This kind of method would have only caused your vitality to be lost. If I had known earlier that you were this wasteful, I might as well use all of your animal core. This is what you call 'reasonable utilization'!"

Li Wenchang, who was at the side, also laughed and said, "That's right, Little Brother Luo, animal core are not absorbed like this."

With that, Li Wenchang's face suddenly changed. He looked straight ahead, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Li Wenchang, what's wrong?"

Wei Jun frowned, his face was filled with dissatisfaction, but after he followed Li Wenchang's gaze, he saw a gigantic beast not far away. It had the appearance of a tiger, but it was covered in carapace, and its entire body was releasing a dangerous Qi.

"It's the Stone Tiger Ferocious Beast!"

As he recognized the Demonic Beast in front of him, Chu Hongling's expression became somewhat grave.

"Top of the food chain in Shihu Ridge, strength comparable to High Level Martial Disciple!"

At the same time as he saw the Vicious Beasts, Luo Xiu was also secretly on guard: "As the strongest Demonic Beast in the Shihu Ridge, normal animal repellent powder are simply unable to stop it."

"Senior-apprentice Brother Wei, it's your turn again."

Chu Hongling looked at Wei Jun. To fight this Stone Tiger Ferocious Beast, she would need the help of High Level Martial Disciple.

"Yes, yes, Senior-apprentice Brother Wei, I'll leave it to you."

Li Wenchang's tone trembled a little. Such a ferocious Demonic Beast was not something to be trifled with.

"Hur hur."

Under everyone's expectations, Wei Jun smiled confidently: "Hongling, don't worry, it's just a mere Stone Tiger Ferocious Beast."

Saying that, Wei Jun suddenly paused, he rolled his eyes and placed it on Luo Xiu: "I have exhausted a bit today, I need to rest for a bit. Luo Xiu didn't really do anything, his energy must be really abundant, and from my point of view, let him hold onto the Demonic Beast for a while to help me buy some time to recover. "

Everyone was stunned, they had just absorbed the animal core's Qi, how could they still need to rest? Looking at what Wei Jun meant, he wanted to push Luo Xiu out to the Stone Tiger Ferocious Beast s to slaughter him?

"Senior-apprentice Brother Wei, Junior Brother Luo Xiu's Cultivation Level is insufficient, it's difficult to deal with Stone Tiger Ferocious Beast, I think it's best for Senior-apprentice Brother Wei to take action!"

Chu Hongling heard what Wei Jun meant and spoke to advise him.

"Hongling, you were the one who assured me that this Luo Xiu had sufficient strength, so I allowed him to join." Wei Jun glanced at Luo Xiu with a sinister smile, "But all along the way, Kid hid behind us and did not make any moves. I was the one who basically killed the Demonic Beast, how could it be so easy to loot our animal core?"

Luo Xiu laughed coldly, he wanted to show off his strength in front of Chu Hongling, and every time, he would strike first and kill the Demonic Beast, so he had killed the most Demonic Beast. But he had definitely not fought, it was just that Wei Jun had not noticed anything.

"Senior-apprentice Brother Wei, Junior Brother Luo Xiu is not a match for Stone Tiger Ferocious Beast!" Chu Hongling was getting anxious.

"Hongling, don't worry. I will save someone from the same sect, and if he really encounters danger, I will definitely help him out in time." Wei Jun laughed sinisterly, taking a step back and letting Luo Xiu take care of the approaching Demonic Beast before everyone else.

"Senior-apprentice Brother Wei, you are going too far!"

Chu Hongling threw down this sentence. Instead of following Wei Jun's retreat, she took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

Li Wenchang had a troubled expression on his face. He glanced at Luo Xiu and Chu Hongling, and then met eyes with Wei Jun. After a slight hesitation, he still retreated.

"Junior Brother Luo Xiu, I will join hands with you to fight the enemy!" Chu Hongling's expression was solemn, but his tone was extremely firm.

"Hongling, I think it would be best for you to not meddle in other people's business! If you still want to be my partner in the Newcomer's Trial, it's best for you to first ensure your own safety! " Wei Jun's words seemed to be filled with concern, but in reality, it was a hidden threat.

"Thank you Senior-apprentice Brother Wei for your kind intentions. Although Hongling's ability is lacking, she is definitely not a heartless and ungrateful person!"

Chu Hongling didn't even turn her head back, but secretly ridiculed Wei Jun.

Luo Xiu looked at the young lady beside him, and his heart immediately warmed. Facing Stone Tiger Ferocious Beast s whose strength was equivalent to that of the high level of Martial Disciple, even two of them had no chance of winning, and under such circumstances, Chu Hongling was still able to stand together with him. This friendship, made him feel touched.

"Senior Chu, please leave. I will deal with this Demonic Beast alone."

Just as Chu Hongling was praying in secret, Luo Xiu suddenly opened his mouth slowly with astonishing words.

Chu Hongling was startled for a moment. "Junior Brother Luo Xiu, what do you mean by this?"

Luo Xiu laughed: "Please rest assured Senior Chu, this Stone Tiger Ferocious Beast is not my opponent."

Hearing Luo Xiu's resolute tone, Chu Hongling looked at the young man in front of her with shock and suspicion. However, Luo Xiu's expression was serious and calm, and did not seem like he was joking or trying to be brave.

"Alright, be careful then."

Chu Hongling originally wanted to continue persuading her, but then suddenly, as if by some miracle, she gained an indescribable confidence in Luo Xiu.

"You overestimate yourself!"

Wei Jun laughed coldly in his heart, but pretended to say: "Then I'll leave it to Junior Brother Luo. Don't be defeated so quickly, you have to buy me some time."

Chu Hongling also retreated to the side, looking at the young lad in front of him who was not very tall, with eyes full of concern.
