C125 Entering the Wasteland Alone

Although the Southern Ferocious Land was filled with danger, it was an extremely suitable place for warriors to temper themselves.

Seven days later, Duanmu Kuang packed up his luggage and left the Five Mountain Sect encampment alone. He entered the Southern Ferocious Land and began his mission.

There were many rare birds and strange beasts here, and all kinds of rare and precious herbs were scattered all over the place. Many origin stone ore arenas were blooming all over the place.

The few major sects had built their encampment here. Of course, it wasn't just for the sake of the origin stone ore. Plundering the resources here was also one of the most important things.

For example, if Duanmu Kuang and the other exiled disciples wanted to accumulate enough contribution points to leave this place, they would have to accept all kinds of missions to enter the vicious plains to hunt beasts or search for treasures.

Generally speaking, the exiled disciples would first have a good understanding of the environment here. At least one or two months, or at most half a year later, they would take on the mission of the headquarters.

Duanmu Kuang had only been here for less than ten days, and he would have to go out alone to carry out the mission. It could be said to be very risky. The wasteland was full of malefic machines. He only knew half of what was inside. Such an act was no different from courting death.

Wu Lai and the others were anxious, and they all spoke out to dissuade him, telling him about the dangers within, and to advise him not to act too rashly. However, Duanmu Kuang remained unmoved, and he still accepted the mission and left the station.

The reason he went out to carry out the mission so quickly was not to accumulate contribution points, but to sharpen himself and make himself stronger as soon as possible.

Lyi Hentian's words had touched Duanmu Kuang a lot. In the past, he always thought that he was incomparably strong, and no one in the same cultivation realm could match him. However, he never expected that there was someone in this world who was even more outstanding than him. In the same cultivation realm, he was far more than five times stronger than him.

Meanwhile, the one who killed him in his past life was even more powerful to an unimaginable degree, as if he was a sovereign. In addition to that, he bore a deep-seated hatred for his past life, and all of this made it hard for him to breathe.

Even though understanding a bit more of the wasteland's environment and accepting missions would be more beneficial, he didn't have time to waste anymore.

Tap! Tap!

Duanmu Kuang continued forward. Two hours later, he arrived at the outer region of the Southern Ferocious Land.

The soil here was dark brown, and the vegetation was yellow and yellow. The difference between this place and the green onion scenery on the way here was like the difference between the sky and the abyss. It seemed extremely desolate and dark.

He could already see some low level Profound Beast here. Moreover, the roars and roars from the depths of the wasteland shook the heavens, causing one's heart to palpitate. The moment one entered the outer region, it meant that they had entered a dangerous area.

Duanmu Kuang became cautious, and slowed down his pace as he slowly walked.

"Old man, you asked me to take on the mission of hunting salamander. Can this help me hone my skills?" Thinking of the mission Lyi Hentian asked him to take, he asked doubtfully.

He had heard of this salamander before. It was said to be a type of fire-attribute Profound Beast. It was comparable to a human's martial cultivator at Essence Opening Stage. However, he had the ability to fight a beginner Profound Essence Stage martial artist. Such a target was obviously not qualified. Lyi Hentian had always been strict with his cultivation, but this time he made such an arrangement. He did not understand.

"Nonsense! How could my arrangement be wrong? Did you defeat all the core disciples in the sect? You are too ambitious, thinking that this mission is a waste of time. It can't be used for training? " Lyi Hentian's voice was clearly transmitted to his Divine Sense. There was a hint of anger in his voice.

Duanmu Kuang didn't say anything. He did have such an idea. In his opinion, with his powerful combat strength, he should take on a higher level mission instead of hunting a Profound Beast that was equivalent to a martial cultivator at Essence Opening Stage.

"Let me tell you, the salamander isn't as simple as you think it is. If you don't want to die, then put away your underestimation. I don't want to lose a disciple just like that." Lyi Hentian said again.

"Oh... This salamander is actually this powerful? It can injure me?" Duanmu Kuang was surprised and somewhat in disbelief.

He had absolute confidence in his own strength. No matter how strong the salamander was, it was only a Profound Beast comparable to an Essence Opening Stage, how could it overturn the heavens? It was impossible to hurt him. Lyi Hentian's words were so heavy that it made him disapprove.

"You... you know nothing." Lyi Hentian was furious. This kid actually treated his words as wind by his ears, making his teeth itch.

He roared, "Do you think that salamander's grade isn't high, and it's easy to deal with? It's not inferior to an early Profound Essence Stage martial artist, and it's even a social creature. You actually don't know what's good for you, you're infuriating me to death."

Duanmu Kuang was silent. He did not expect that the mission this time would be so troublesome. If it was a group of animals, it would not be easy to kill one. He didn't say anything else and headed towards his destination.

Along the way, there were many martial artists passing by. They were all in groups. There were almost no martial artists like him who advanced alone.

"Brother from the Five Mountain Sect, may I ask if you are going to carry out a mission?" While they were on their way, a voice came from behind and stopped Duanmu Kuang.

Duanmu Kuang turned around and saw a group of people staring at him. There were a dozen or so of them, all of them very young, their ages ranging from a teenager to twenty years old. Their cultivation wasn't bad, and they were all at the advanced Xiantian realm or above. The highest was close to the middle level of the Essence Opening Stage. The one who called out to him was the youth with the highest cultivation base. He was wearing a purple tight suit.

Duanmu Kuang was puzzled. He didn't know why these people called out to him, but he didn't say anything. He just used his eyes to ask.

"It's like this, brother." Seeing Duanmu Kuang turn around, the young man in purple clothes hurriedly said, "We have formed a small team to explore the treasure. If you really want to go on a mission, brother, we will send a team to search for the treasure. Why don't you come with us? Not only is it safer this way, we might be able to help you when you're on a mission. When the time comes, if we get any prey or treasure, we'll split them evenly. We don't want any of the quest items that you need. What do you think, brother? "

Duanmu Kuang was stunned. These people actually wanted to invite him to join their team. Moreover, they even offered very tempting conditions. However, he had come here to sharpen himself. These conditions obviously couldn't tempt him. He immediately refused, "There's no need."

After saying that, he turned around and left, continuing forward.

"Sigh, what a pity. If only he could join our team." Seeing Duanmu Kuang leave, the youth in purple said in disappointment.

"Big Brother Zi, he is only at the advanced Xiantian realm. What's there to be disappointed about? There are a lot of people like him. He won't be a problem."

"That's right. Look at how arrogant he is. I'm unhappy. He's just a disciple of the Five Mountain Sect. What's there to be proud of? How dare he reject Big Brother Zi's good intentions? Do you really think the reputation of the Five Mountain Sect is of any use here? Let's see how he dies."

" Alright, stop arguing. Let's continue recruiting. After we gather two more people, we'll enter the depths of the outer perimeter. " The purple-clothed youth interrupted the others, and then looked at Duanmu Kuang, who was walking further and further away. He murmured in an almost inaudible voice, "The name of Five Mountain Sect is really useful here."

The others didn't know, but he knew that this was a place where people ate people. Besides the dangers brought by the Profound Beast, he also had to be on guard against those human martial artists.

There were dragons and snakes mixed in here. Some people not only hunted Profound Beast for money, but also for money. It could be said that they would rob and kill martial artists of the same kind. Only those disciples who came from large sects would not be harmed by those people. Because they were afraid that they would be found and be destroyed.

The reason why the young man in purple had invited Duanmu Kuang so hard was because he valued Duanmu Kuang's reputation as a disciple of the Five Mountain Sect. Otherwise, given Duanmu Kuang's cultivation base, why did he ask him to give such a generous offer? However, Duanmu Kuang rejected the offer, which made him incomparably disappointed.
