C29 Teamwork

Dew quietly filled the withered yellow leaves, and in the early morning's cold wind, the birds all curled up their bodies, preferring to starve rather than go out and look for food. Occasionally, there would be a few Demonic Beast that woke up early to look at the lake from afar, and didn't have the courage to come over.

When the sun came out, the dew had already dispersed and the sun's rays were shining on the body, it was extremely warm and comfortable.

Lin Xiu finally woke up. As he slightly touched his body, he felt an indescribable ache.

Could it be that he failed to break through? Lin Xiu was a bit dejected, but he still refused to give up as he started to examine the situation in his body.

Miserable, the situation inside his body could only be described as tragic. Although his meridians were not broken, but after last night's adventure, they were still twisted and couldn't be adjusted in just a few days.

Thankfully, after experiencing such destruction, his tendons were not as tenacious as they were in the past, and it was not because he failed his breakthrough, but because his body was currently in a terrible condition. The position of his tendons had not been fixed and he was unable to use too much of the elemental energy in his body.

Even so, Lin Xiu's current strength was comparable to an ordinary late stage Blood Refinement Art. His tendons and veins were greatly expanded, and the amount of elemental energy that he could use the same move with was two times that of the past.

Lin Xiu struggled to stand up and had a self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth. A few days ago, he was injured due to the use of Traceless Wind and was only able to recuperate a few days ago. But compared to the increase in his strength, all of these were worth it. It was just that before his injuries recovered, he would have to stay low profile for a few days, and only after recuperating from his injuries would he be confident that he could complete his own trial. Otherwise, if he went right now, it would be purely to deliver food to the Bone Quenching Stage's Demonic Beast.

Enduring the cold, Lin Xiu used the water in the pool to wash himself. After washing up, he reluctantly looked back at the pool. It seemed like he would have to wait until he went back to investigate.

Lin Xiu started his journey while gnawing on the dried rations in his bag.

Time passed by quickly. Along the way, Lin Xiu had avoided some of the powerful Demonic Beast as much as possible with the help of his wind attributed Spiritual Qi. To the current him, it was natural to not attack until he could.

Not long after, on the road in front of Lin Xiu, a team of five people could be seen walking together.

Thinking about it, Lin Xiu did not deliberately avoid them. According to his own wind elemental energy scan results, the strongest people in this group were only two in the late stage of Blood Refining Stage, which did not pose a threat to him.

Moreover, if he could travel together with them, it would be able to avoid a lot of trouble. After all, if he met with Demonic Beast and attacked by force, it would slow down his recovery rate of his own injuries.

After making his decision, Lin Xiu took the initiative to come to the front of the team, and cupped his fists towards the five of them and said: "Everyone, I am Lin Xiu, because the team we were originally in encountered a Demonic Beast with Bone Quenching Stage. After dispersing and escaping, I lost contact with them, so I wish to temporarily join you, what do you think about this?"

The five people in the team didn't look that old. Hearing Lin Xiu's words, they understood that losing their teammates in this dangerous Black Wind Mountain Range was equivalent to waiting for death.

The two people with the highest strengths lowered their heads and chatted for a while. Then, they nodded slightly towards Lin Xiu, indicating that they agreed to this matter.

Just like this, the original group of five turned into six, and they continued their journey deeper into the Black Wind Mountain Range.

Because the six of them weren't very old, they quickly became one.

From their conversation, Lin Xiu understood that the five of them came from a small family in Black Wind City. They came to Black Wind Mountain Range with the same idea as Lin Xiu, to train here.

These five people's strengths were merely two late stage Blood Refining Stage and three middle stage Blood Refining Stage. They actually wanted to go more than two hundred kilometers deep into the Black Wind Mountain Range to hunt a Demonic Beast with Bone Quenching Stage.

Lin Xiu could only say that the five newborns were not afraid of tigers and secretly hoped that they could walk slowly. If they could wait until Lin Xiu recuperated from his injuries, then it would be perfect. That way, Lin Xiu could ensure their safety.

The two youths at the late stage of Blood Refining Stage were called Ye Wang and Ye Fan, respectively. Ye Wang had a rather cheerful nature, and often told Lin Xiu about the interesting things that happened in their profession. As for Ye Fan, some people acted like his name and looked unremarkable, and were usually very quiet and taciturn, but Ye Fan had an extremely good heart, and seeing that Lin Xiu's face was pale, he even brought a few Pill to replenish his Qi and blood.

The three youngsters, Ye Ping, Ye An and Ye Qing, were actually blood-related brothers. According to Ye Wang, these three brothers cultivated the same kind of cultivation technique, and the power that they could display was no weaker than a late stage Blood Refinement Cultivator.

According to what they had said, the Ye Ping brothers were responsible for surrounding and attacking the Bone Quenching Stage Demonic Beast. Ye Wang and Ye Fan, who were on the side, were attacking as well. This kind of lineup was more than enough to make the Bone Quenching Stage Demonic Beast unable to escape.

Lin Xiu was shocked. These five people seemed to be like Lin Yang's group and didn't have any experience fighting to the death, which was why they wanted to join hands to train at the Black Wind Mountain Range. It was just that they still underestimated the difference in strength between their Bone Quenching Stage and their Demonic Beast s.

The Demonic Beast's spirit energy had already condensed into water, and not only did it "measure" them, "quality" differed by a hundred and eight thousand kilometers from them. It could be said that the strength of a Bone Quenching Stage Demonic Beast was ten times stronger than their Blood Refining Stage!

Lin Xiu also relied on the Thousand Layer Body Refinement Method, his physical body was not weaker than a normal Bone Quenching Stage Demonic Beast, and adding the profound strength of Yuan Fei's Blood Refining Stage, that was why he dared to break his wrist against the Bone Quenching Stage's Demonic Beast.

Fortunately, their speed was not fast and their vigilance was not weak. Along the way, they met a late stage Blood Refining Stage Demonic Beast, and under the combined attacks of the Ye Family's five members, the battle quickly ended. This allowed them to have greater confidence in their next target.

After two days, Lin Xiu's injuries finally recovered to about seventy to eighty percent. The dislocated meridians were also slowly returning under the nourishment of the elemental energy. Sensing the abundant elemental energy in his body, Lin Xiu finally felt relieved. If they had accidentally encountered the Bone Quenching Stage's Demonic Beast before, although he was confident that he could escape, he didn't have the strength to protect this kind five brothers.

But now, everything was different. Lin Xiu couldn't wait to find a Bone Quenching Stage Demonic Beast and have a good fight.

At night, the moonlight shone down like water as the six of them set up their tents. They sprinkled some powder around the tents to prevent insects, rats, and ants from getting in contact with each other before lighting a fire to keep them warm.

"Hey, Lin Xiu, how are your injuries?" The youngest Ye Qing mumbled as he bit down on a piece of roasted meat.

The rest of the people also looked towards Lin Xiu, they were already more than two hundred kilometers deep into the Black Wind Mountain Range, Demonic Beast s for Bone Quenching Stage could appear at any time, and if Lin Xiu's injuries had not fully recovered, then it would undoubtedly be very dangerous. The five of them may look very confident, but in reality, they were not sure, they were afraid that Lin Xiu would suffer together with the five of them.

Lin Xiu just gulped down a cup of wine and exhaled the breath of alcohol towards the sky. He laughed boldly: "You guys just relax and go hunt the Demonic Beast. With me here, there won't be any problem."
