C12 Team up

Zhang Xiaoyu dragged his body across the sand, tightly holding onto the neck of the porphyry snake. When he took a deep breath, the center of his palm released a bright light, making a lot of crackling sounds.

Under the weak thunder and lightning energy, the body of the porphyry snake was soon paralyzed, twitching a few times before it stopped moving.

Zhang Xiaoyu still didn't let go. He grabbed the snake's tail and swung it twice to smash its head on the rock. Blood splashed everywhere and the snake's fist-sized triangular head immediately cracked open.

Looking at the several meter long scratch on the ground, Zhang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly. He almost lost his life just now, his throat was a human's weakness. If he was bitten, he would have been dead.

"Bro, you're quite capable. You're one of the few people who can dodge the Spotted Rock Snake's attack." Three Hunters walked over from the side, their bodies exuding a valiant aura.

Zhang Xiaoyu said lightly, "I was lucky."

"The Rock Chief is very nervous. If you don't mind, how about joining up with us? We'll split the prey we obtain evenly." The hunter with the light green beard suggested.

After some consideration, Zhang Xiaoyu nodded, "Fine! The four of them should be faster. "

Hearing this, the three Hunters were quite happy. A strong companion meant a bountiful harvest. They had already gathered several people to form a party, but most of them had already formed groups or coldly refused.

Everyone reported their names, the one with the light green beard was called Mock, the one with the scar on his forehead was called Li Tang, and the middle-aged man with the bulky body was called Zap.

"The four of us will team up. There shouldn't be anything in this Rock Guild that can stop us, so it's better to go hunt the Earth Horned Dragon." Li Tang suggested.

The Earth Horned Dragon was the most powerful Dire Beast among the first stage, it was about the same size as a lizard, had four limbs, a horn on its forehead, and an outstanding attack and defense.

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't mind. Earth Horned Dragons were worth more than fifty taels of silver, which was equivalent to four or five berserk rats. He could give it a try.

The inner environment of the complex rocky terrain was unique, like a maze. The four of them encountered several waves of attacks while searching for the rare Earth Horned Dragon. The second wave was even more dangerous when they encountered four berserk rats.

After pouring some medicine on his arm, Mock took a deep breath and cursed, "Damn, this berserk rat is really crazy. Luckily, there are only four of them. A little more and they'll probably die." After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Xiaoyu. Just now, Zhang Xiaoyu killed a berserk rat with ease and then helped him get rid of the rat. Zhang Xiaoyu was very powerful and experienced. Those who had some understanding of his strength all raised their eyebrows.

"Besides the one that ran away, the three berserk rats have gained a lot. Mock, your injuries are worth it!" Zap laughed.

Mock rolled his eyes, "F * ck, why don't you try it? It doesn't hurt to stand and talk."

After tying up the dead Berserk Rat, the group continued on their way.

After a long time, the four finally saw a three meter long Earth Horned Dragon. Unfortunately, it had already been snatched away by someone else, so they could only stare blankly at it.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the seven people in front of him playfully and thought to himself, "It's them."

These seven people were Second Miss Heelian and her six subordinates who had previously appeared in Lou Lan Town. Although it was said to be a confrontation with the Earth Horned Dragon, it was actually just Second Miss Heelian venting her anger with the Earth Horned Dragon.

Under the attack of Second Miss Heelian's fist, which was wrapped in a faint flame, the Earth Horned Dragon that usually ran amok in the Rock Territory was thrown out from time to time, leaving behind a huge scar on the wall of the mountain.

"That person seems to be Second Miss Heelian." Li Tang frowned.

Zap laughed bitterly, "I don't know who pissed Second Miss Heelian off again. She looked so angry that she wanted to eat someone."

He must be looking for something! Zhang Xiaoyu thought.

After searching for half a day, their luck was no longer with them. Not to mention the Earth Horned Dragon itself, they did not even see its dung.

Mock said helplessly, "Let's return to Lou Lan Town first and continue tomorrow."

In fact, the four of them had gained quite a bit: two berserk rats, one iron armored lizard, and two porphyry snakes. The total value of these snakes was over sixty silvers, which was much better than the normal hunters.

Back at Lou Lan Town, Zhang Xiaoyu's net worth was raised to thirty taels of silver. Zhang Xiaoyu, who didn't really care about the money, received sixteen taels of silver from the trio and fifteen taels of silver from his Spotted Rock Snake.

Money was not omnipotent, and no money was absolutely impossible! This famous saying applied even there! Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head and looked at the martial arts books in his hands. These martial arts books were bought by him at the Martial Skill Pavilion for 10 taels of silver. He was prepared to give them to Ah Rina and his little brothers who had reached the age of martial arts.

"..."

The night was dark, and the cold wind blew through the streets. A few drunken hunters couldn't care less about their dizziness and their legs getting weak. They hurried back to their homes. It was a great happiness to be able to sleep well in this cold night.

Zhang Xiaoyu, who was wrapped in the blue hunter's clothes, had a smile on his face as he walked towards the restaurant in the cold wind.

When the kids saw the martial arts books they had yearned for, they all called out to their big brother. To them, because Ah Rina and her father was a hunter, they already had a cultivation technique. What they lacked were martial arts that suited them. Although a low level Inferior Grade Martial Technique was nothing in the outside world, it was still a great favor to those people who found it difficult to live their lives.

Of course, facing the hidden bitterness in Ah Rina's eyes, Zhang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly. The two of them had a different path to walk, and if there was no chance in the future, they would not meet again.

In the room, the lights were dim.

The youth quietly sat on the bed, his delicate face flickering under the dim light. Because of the angle, his facial features were much sharper than usual, and his thin lips made him appear exceptionally resolute.

Listening to his calm and vigorous breathing, Zhang Xiaoyu focused his mind and directed the Yuan Li in his body to circulate according to the Circulatory Cycle Revolution while at the same time slowly absorbing the pure Yuan Qi between heaven and earth.

When the twelfth lap ended, Zhang Xiaoyu did not stop. He continued to perform the Circulatory Cycle Revolution.

The fifteenth round, the sixteenth round …

He knew that the limits of the human body were different in every period of time. For example, the limits of a martial artist and a martial master were different, the limits of a martial master and their Grand Martial Master were also different, and the limits of different people were even more different. When a normal person reached the twelfth circulation of elemental energy in their body during the martial artist stage, they would feel uncomfortable and would have to stop cultivating at this time. Otherwise, not only would they not be able to raise their cultivation, but they would also damage their meridians, which would affect their future achievements.
