At dawn the next day, the four of them sneaked into the den of the four silver wolves. The previous ten days of groping was not a total failure for the four of them. At least, their combat experience had increased a lot. Life and death battles were the most effective ways to train people, far more effective than practicing or sparring with each other in Tian Jia Castle. If this was when they first arrived, even if they were given ten guts, they wouldn't dare to challenge four Demonic Beast of the seventh step at the same time, because as long as one of them lost, the others would still be in danger.
The four wolves fought for more than half an hour, but it was still hard to tell them apart. However, human intelligence could often play a decisive role. The four of them had already planned everything out, advancing and retreating together. However, the Four-Silver Wolf obviously had no preparation. It wanted to eat the humans in front of it, but it also didn't want to risk its life. The situation gradually shifted in their favor. However, if a person had a little bit of background, they could choke to death just by drinking water. At this critical moment, a mid-grade Seventh Order White Spotted Leopard slowly approached the battle circle. This leopard crawled to the side and did not join the battle; it was obvious that it had thoughts of gaining benefits from this fight. The four of them also noticed the danger. However, if they were to retreat now, let alone escape unscathed, even if they left now, they wouldn't have the chance to do so.
"Zhou Jie, lure our opponent towards the White Spot Panther and lure it into the fray. Nana, Fen, you two finish the battle as soon as possible. " At the most critical moment, Cheng Kun decisively made his suggestion, and the first thing he did was to lead his Silver Wolf towards the White Spot Panther.
Zhou Jie also knew that now was not the time for a slut. Although the battle between the two of them was extremely dangerous, there wouldn't be any problems for the time being. The two of them would be dead depending on Dong Nana and Tian Fen, and if the two of them were to fail, or drag things out for too long, the two of them would have no chance of escaping.
Obviously, the White Spotted Leopard did not expect that the human would actually start paying attention to it before the victor was decided. How could it know that it was currently the greatest threat to the four of them? But the leopard was not afraid of it. At this moment, the two of them had given up on a one-on-one fight and were cooperating with each other to defend. However, the attacks of the two wolves and one leopard were extremely sharp, especially the white-spotted leopard, who was stronger than them in terms of strength, and was even stronger than them. The situation between the two of them was becoming more and more dangerous, and its injuries were also increasing, causing Dong Nana and Tian Fen, who were beside them to become even more anxious as they heard the screams of battle from their injuries.
Dong Nana and Fen both knew that they couldn't drag this on any longer, or else the four of them would probably be finished. The two of them released the energy of the Swordplay Gem at the same time. It had to be said that, when they met on a narrow path, victory was the most important thing, and the relatively weaker two silver wolves were suppressed by Dong Nana's and Fen's Qi, but they hoped that the battle on the other side would end soon. The Demonic Beast s of the seventh step had already gained some intelligence, and they could tell that as long as they stayed here for a little longer, they would be able to win.
The two Silver Wolves still underestimated the situation. Although they had dodged repeatedly, they still failed to escape the calamity. Dong Nana and Tian Fen had defeated their opponents at almost the same time. Once things were settled, the two of them immediately rushed to help Zhou Jie and Cheng Kun. Zhou Jie and Cheng Kun naturally would not chase it. The other two silver wolves wanted to retreat as well, but their opponent would not let them go so easily. The two had long been waiting for this opportunity. The Swordplay Gem s were fully activated and the two of them killed the two wolves as soon as they ran away. When Dong Nana and Tian Fen came over, they sat down on the ground and panted heavily. The two girls were actually already spent, and Zhou Jie and Cheng Kun were in an even worse state.
"Nana, Fen, I and Cheng Kun really can't walk anymore. After resting for two minutes, you two should hurry back to absorb our respective Sword Soul s. If that White Spotted Leopard or the other Demonic Beast came back, with our current condition, even a Rank 5 Demonic Beast would probably take all of our lives. "
Their life-and-death struggle finally yielded a good harvest. The strength of the Five Treasures Azure Level Swords that the four of them had just created was at least three times greater than before. They really should thank Baili Feng. If not for her teaching them, even taking into account the fact that they had made a breakthrough in such a short period of time, killing a Sword Soul of the early seventh step wasn't something they dared to do in the past. A deeper level of understanding towards the past sword moves and the use of new sword moves was a prerequisite for their victory.
Dong Nana supported Cheng Kun, and Tian Fen supported Zhou Jie. The four of them had rested for a short while after absorbing the Soul Sword, but Zhou Jie and Cheng Kun had lost too much blood and their bodies were extremely weak. At this moment, the four of them only wanted to escape, how could they care about the difference between males and females.
The four of them did not take their Soul Sword s up, primarily because they wanted to intimidate those low-leveled Demonic Beast. Right now, they no longer had much power to protect themselves, so they could only rely on their Soul Sword s to show off their might.
The return journey for the four of them was quite smooth. They had finally returned to the region where the level two or three Demonic Beast were active before nightfall. It was already extremely safe here.
The four of them sat together and built a fire. However, there was no tent now, and there was nothing to eat or drink. That was because when they were running for their lives, they had thrown away everything they could.
"Cheng Kun, I admire you so much today, how could you think that the two of us could last until Nana and Fen came to our rescue?"
"I didn't know at the beginning. I just wanted to keep fighting. I think we would have been completely annihilated. But later on, when we left so much blood, I became more and more confident. "
"Oh, what do you mean?" Zhou Jie and Tian Fen also looked at Cheng Kun in a daze, and they were also very suspicious.
"At that time, we had left so much blood, so logically speaking, we should have activated the ferocious nature of Demonic Beast a long time ago. However, those two wolves and leopards did not attack us with their full power.
Zhou Jie broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, thinking that this bro was too strong, and that his life was almost going to end together with him. However, he secretly admired Cheng Kun's calmness. No matter if it was the bravery and decisiveness when bringing the White Spot Panther into battle beforehand, or the calmness and judgement of the situation afterwards, they were all things he couldn't match. His overall view of the situation was much better than Cheng Kun's, so the overall plan was something that he had formulated. It could only be said that the two of them had their own strengths, and this combination was not bad.
Seeing Zhou Jie's shocked expression, Dong Nana and Tian Fen both secretly laughed with their mouths covered. Zhou Jie also laughed embarrassedly.
"We don't have anything to eat or drink right now, but it's still safe enough. We should be able to reach the nearest inn by tomorrow morning and recuperate before setting off. What do you think?"
Fen and I are not heavily injured, but the two of you need to rest for a few days. You guys have lost too much blood, so it's not appropriate for you to travel with your injuries.
Cheng Kun and Tian Fen both nodded in agreement.
At noon on the second day, the four of them arrived at the nearest inn. The waiter could tell from their clothes that the four of them were disciples of Tianshan Sword Sect. His greetings to the four of them could be said to be extremely diligent.
Dong Nana gave the waiter some money and told him to buy some clean clothes and medicine. After all of these were solved, the only thing left was to treat his injuries. With the condition of Zhou Jie and Cheng Kun, it was obvious that they could not take care of their injuries. Dong Nana and Tian Fen could only go up personally. Similarly, Dong Nana was in charge of Cheng Kun, while Tian Fen was in charge of Zhou Jie.
Zhou Jie's room.
"Lighter. Ah, it hurts. It hurts." Zhou Jie gritted his teeth in pain.
"You really have no future. As a man, can't you endure it?" Tian Fen said in a lifeless voice.
"Big Miss Tian, cleaning wounds and treating them is something you should be careful about. If you use so much strength, do you think I would be able to stop you?"
"You mean I'm clumsy?"
"Well, ah, no. "Ah ?" Zhou Jie now even had the heart to die, if he accidentally said those words, he would be met with Tian Fen's revenge.
Hearing Zhou Jie who shouted like a pig getting slaughtered, Dong Nana could not stop laughing. Her hand no longer held any weight when she smiled. Cheng Kun's body trembled twice, letting him know that he was hurting Cheng Kun.
"Does it hurt?"
Cheng Kun nodded honestly.
"You are more honest than Zhou Jie, I will try my best to be more gentle."
"Thank you."
However, it was clear that Miss Dong's skills were not very good. When had she ever done such a thing? She had never been injured before and had no experience in taking care of others. It would be weird if she could do it well.
Seeing Cheng Kun closing his eyes and puffing out his cheeks from time to time, Dong Nana's heart started to ache.
"Cheng Kun, it was my fault for humiliating you in public. I apologize to you." Dong Nana said embarrassedly.
"It's nothing, I forgot."
"Then I'll take it that you forgive me. We'll be good friends from now on. " Dong Nana happily embraced Cheng Kun's arms.
Cheng Kun blushed and nodded.
At this moment, Dong Nana also noticed her actions were ambiguous, but seeing Cheng Kun's shy look, she naturally enjoyed it a little.
Six days later, Zhou Jie's and Cheng Kun's injuries were mostly clear, and their strength had also recovered by eighty percent. The four of them continued on their journey. Their relationship was closer than before, especially Zhou Jie and Tian Fen, the two of them were like enemies, always bickering. The number of exchanges between Cheng Kun and him had increased as well. Previously, their relationship had been relatively cold due to the previous matter, but now that the separation membrane had been removed, it was natural for them to get along together. Zhou Jie and Tian Fen could both tell that there was some difference between Cheng Kun and himself, so they often teased the two of them. The two of them did not notice that they were getting closer and closer.
