After the words fell, many high-spirited freshmen rushed towards Shengxi Mountain not to be outdone. Naturally, Dongfang Yue and Xiao Yuanfeng did the same. The two were so powerful that they immediately distanced themselves from ordinary freshmen. The latter took the lead. Zhou Xing looked at them. A glance at their backs made him more determined to catch up with the large army.
Entering the mountain forest, walking a few hundred meters ahead is filled with extremely dense white fog. Covered in the fog, it is impossible to see the surrounding situation at all. Fortunately, although the terrain in this area is complex, there will be no spiritual beasts. It is only for three hundred people. Freshmen went through a simple screening process.
After leaving the fog area, it can be said that the competition has really begun, which is to hunt the spiritual beasts and obtain the beast cores in their bodies as the standard for performance evaluation.
Zhou Xing's perception has been sharp since he was a child, far beyond ordinary people. Mr. Tang in the village once said it was because of his stronger soul. Therefore, he was able to adapt well to the foggy area and move forward quickly. He overtook some freshmen who stumbled along the way and were overtaken by him.
When he rushed out of the thick fog, he only saw a silhouette of a person in front of him disappearing in front of him, and the surroundings were silent. For Shengxi Mountain, three hundred people were really a drop in the ocean. Once he walked out of the fog area, he might never meet anyone else again.
After traveling for more than ten miles, Zhou Xing had already discovered many traces of battles, as well as the corpses of first-order spirit beasts. Of course, the beast cores in their bodies had also been dug out.
Zhou Xing's face looked a little ugly. This new student was too unfriendly to them, students in the Mortal Martial Realm. The Lingwu Realm students had already swept through the outermost areas. It was difficult to find the weak first-order spirit beasts. Going further inside, There will be more powerful second-level spirit beasts. How can they hunt and kill them in the mortal martial realm except running away? Therefore, there have always been many students with zero grades, and some students died in the mountains.
After gathering his mood, Zhou Xing changed the direction of his search. Finally, there was movement from behind the dense bushes in front of him. He stepped lightly and approached slowly, with a trace of doubt in his eyes: Why did it sound like a human moan? Could it be a person? Injured student? If so...then don't blame yourself for being ruthless!
In the competition, it is allowed to snatch each other. Zhou Xing is not a good person, so of course he will not let it go.
He cautiously approached that side and pushed aside the bushes. As soon as the light came to his eyes, it was immediately replaced by something dark - not good!
Zhou Xing exclaimed in his heart, his feet seemed to thunder, and he quickly retreated. However, the opponent was pursuing him, so he had no choice but to immediately climb up a big tree where the three of them were hugging each other to escape.
When he reached the tree, Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief and took a closer look. Below him was a spiritual beast with tiger-like stripes all over its body except its head. It looked like an ordinary cow, but was more than twice as big.
"Shen Niu." Zhou Xing recognized it. This kind of spiritual beast lives by the water. It has a strange cry, like the groan of the human race, and is extremely powerful. The horns on its head are very sharp. If it is hit from the front, even if it is The spirit martial realm can also be exposed, and he is the best among first-level spirit beasts. Fortunately, he has practiced the body and martial arts thunder walking, otherwise even if he just missed the edge, the consequences would be serious.
This cow was obviously not ready to let Zhou Xing go. White gas came out of its nostrils, its hooves kept digging at the ground, its strong hind legs exerted force, and its huge body hit the big tree.
boom!
Along with the impact, the big tree shook violently, and Zhou Xing suspected that the big tree under his feet would be broken in a few blows.
Naturally, he would not sit still and wait for death. A short sword about one foot long appeared in his hand. There was also a thunder attribute beast core embedded in the hilt. It was a second-level spiritual weapon.
Spirit weapons, as the name suggests, are weapons made by weapon refiners using special methods and suitable for warriors to use. Most of them are embedded with beast cores, which can greatly enhance the warrior's combat capabilities.
Gan Niu's intelligence was not yet fully developed, so he didn't realize that the man in the tree holding a spiritual sword was much more dangerous than before, so he still hit the tree trunk with all his strength.
The big tree swayed greatly again, and even the soil on which it was rooted showed signs of loosening. Zhou Xing saw the right opportunity and took advantage of the old strength of Ji Niu to dissipate. Just as he was about to retreat, he jumped down from the branch and held it with both hands. The hilt of the sword poured all the spiritual power into the sword body. Suddenly, the arc of electricity on the sword flashed with cold light, and it aimed at Gan Niu's neck and stabbed it hard.
Gan Niu felt the threat and instinctively wanted to avoid it, but how could he avoid it. The spirit sword pierced its neck firmly, and the arc on it paralyzed its whole body.
Not dead yet? !
Before Zhou Xing had time to be happy, he felt something was wrong. The other party's vitality was too strong. His reaction was also extremely fast. Taking advantage of Jin Niu's extremely brief paralysis, he used the hilt of the sword as a springboard to leap into the air, dancing with both palms. Dozens of palm prints were slapped on the wound on Jin Niu's neck at the same time, and finally a pair of palms wrapped with thunder and lightning. He slapped the end of the sword hilt, causing the spirit sword to sink deeply, almost piercing through Gan Niu's thick neck.
Gan Niu was freed from paralysis and let out a huge groan. He swung his body hard and threw Zhou Xing dozens of meters away. He hit a huge rock hard and his back was bloody.
Zhou Xing stood up despite the pain, only to see Gan Niu's eyes were red, staring at him, and rushing towards him frantically.
"No way..." Just when Zhou Xing thought that he might be in danger this time, Gan Niu fell down in the middle of the sprint, and then rushed in front of him with the help of inertia, completely dead.
"Hoo~"
Governor Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. He was really shocked just now. He didn't want to die.
Pulling out the spirit sword, blood spurted out instantly, and the smell of blood quickly spread. Zhou Xing cut open the head of Gan Niu, dug out a light blue beast core about one-third of the size of a fist, cleaned it and put it away. Qiankun bag and then immediately left the scene.
Time passes unknowingly, and half a day passes in the blink of an eye. The freshman competition will end when the sun completely sets. Those who return late will be regarded as failures and will have zero results.
After Ji Niu, Zhou Xing hunted another first-level intermediate spirit beast and already had two beast cores in his hand.
"This result is not a shame, right?" Zhou Xing said to himself. Just now he saw a spirit beast that was at least the second-level intermediate level from a distance. The spirit beast's eyes, which were bigger than copper bells, were looking towards him. A glance made him run away in panic, and he still has lingering fears when he thinks about it.
"Go deeper...fifty miles!" Gritting his teeth, Zhou Xing still wanted to achieve better results.
Not long after returning, Zhou Xing suddenly noticed something strange. He looked around carefully and suddenly realized: he had been here before!
Zhou Xing was a little panicked. After leaving the mark, he continued to walk forward for a while. As expected, he returned to the same place. He had no choice but to sit still and wait for death. He could only keep moving forward. But even if he marked all the way, It still didn't work, and now he was really flustered and sweating profusely.
"Ah...Thunder Shadow Palm!" Zhou Xing roared, and used his martial arts to attack all around. His palm prints fell, leaving a mess nearby. Finally, when his spiritual power was about to be exhausted, he only felt a blur in front of his eyes. A new scene appeared before our eyes.
There is no longer a dense forest ahead, but there are jagged and strange rocks everywhere, with gurgling streams flowing through them. Zhou Xing couldn't restrain his curiosity and walked forward step by step.
Less than half an hour later, the strong smell of blood entered Zhou Xing's mind. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he felt comfortable all over. The spiritual energy in his body quickly filled up, and he felt better than ever before.
After a while, a tragic battlefield appeared in front of Zhou Xing. Rivers of blood flowed on the ground. Two mutilated warrior corpses were randomly placed on the ground. They were already dead. Not far away from the warrior corpses, a huge yellow body as big as a hill. Also fell to the ground.
"Bird spirit beast." Zhou Xingzheng hesitated to step forward. He saw the spirit beast's chest rise and fall suddenly, and a pair of bright eyes opened, as if they could see through everything, but they immediately dimmed.
There was still one breath left... Zhou Xing swallowed, not daring to act rashly. When the spirit beast looked at him, he felt that his whole body was out of his control. Life and death depended only on the other person's thoughts, even if the other person was dying.
The spirit beast let out a weak but clear cry and looked behind it with difficulty. This time Zhou Xing noticed that there was a dark and deep cave behind it.
Zhou Xing realized that this spirit beast was extremely intelligent and seemed to be explaining something to him. Unfortunately, the other party stopped making any movement the next moment and was really dead this time.
Zhou Xing walked towards the entrance of the cave. When he passed by the body of the spirit beast, a huge burst of spiritual pressure hit his face, making him breathless. Fortunately, this spiritual pressure was not targeted.
Entering the cave, it was pitch dark and he thought to himself: From now on, he will definitely bring lighting tools with him at all times.
Zhou Xing groped slowly, but there was nothing except the sound of footsteps, which made him dare not breathe hard.
Not long after, there was light coming from the front. When he got closer, he discovered that there was a skylight in the deepest part. A giant tree grew here, and a skylight grew out of the top.
The cave is under an isolated mountain. Zhou Xing recalled that he saw a lone tree on an isolated mountain outside. He didn't think much about it at the time. Who knew that this tree was really outrageous. The trunk in front of him was dozens of meters thick. It is nearly a thousand meters high from the top, and it grows from even lower!
Zhou Xing looked up and suddenly saw something that seemed to be between the branches of the giant branches. It was - a bird's nest!
He understood in his heart that the spirit beast that died outside was worried about his child. He immediately climbed up, and sure enough, in the huge bird's nest there was a light yellow egg the size of a human baby, with some crystal stones around the egg.
"I don't know what kind of spiritual beast this is. What if I can't raise it alive or even hatch it?" Zhou Xing was worried, but it wouldn't be good to leave it here. He could only put it together with the crystal stones first. It was taken.
He came down from the tree with the eggs in his arms and took a deep look below. The bottom was bottomless, and it was almost magical, as if it was telling him to get down.
Shaking his head, Zhou Xing walked out of the cave. He didn't want to die.
After walking out of the cave, the bird eggs in his arms suddenly became hot. Zhou Xing was shocked and confused, but he saw the head of the spirit beast corpse next to him split open automatically, and a yellow beast core as big as a human brain fell out. He quickly caught it. .
This animal core can be used as nourishment for bird eggs! Zhou Xing guessed that he wanted to put the beast core into the Qiankun Bag, but he couldn't do it. He caught a glimpse of the corpses of the two warriors in the corner of his eye, and thought that maybe the Qiankun Bag was too low-level. A high-end space ring might be able to do it.
He walked to the corpse of the warrior and immediately saw that both of them were wearing space rings on their hands. He immediately took it off and put the beast core into one of the rings.
Space rings generally have owners. It involves the use of soul power. Although Zhou Xing does not know how to do it, after the owner dies, the ring will naturally become ownerless. Like the Universe Bag, it can be used with spiritual power.
Hiding the space ring in his arms, Zhou Xing turned his attention to the blood on the ground. Before, just some smell factors allowed him to return to his full strength. This blood contained terrifying spirituality, not to mention the corpses of spiritual beasts. It was a pity. I can't take it away.
After thinking for a moment, he walked to the blood that had gathered into a small pool next to the beast's corpse, inserted his hand into it, and felt an extremely hot stinging sensation, making him gasp.
I can still bear it!
Zhou Xing took off his clothes cleanly and entered the blood pool, leaving only his head exposed. He silently operated the golden body technique, his physical quality improved rapidly, and the majestic pure spiritual power also rushed into his body.
An hour later, the blood pool was completely thin, and the spirituality in it was almost lost. Looking at the blood in other areas, it also turned into waste liquid. This is determined by its nature. After being exposed to the air for too long, the spirituality in it Material is lost too quickly. Zhou Xing was quite regretful that he was only a little short of breaking through to the ninth level of mortal martial arts.
If anyone else saw his expression, they would definitely not be able to help but beat him up. He had only broken through to the eighth level not long before the competition started, and even before entering the academy, he was only at the sixth level of mortal martial arts. This level was like sitting on a rocket. It's going up, but I'm still not satisfied.
Coming out of the blood pool, there was no sticky blood left on Zhou Xing's body, as if he had just taken a bath in clean water, which was quite magical. After getting dressed, he picked up the bird eggs and hurried back. There was not much time before sunset, and he was so deep that it would be ridiculous to be late by then. Fortunately, there were no spiritual beasts to hinder him along the way.
When Zhou Xing rushed back out of breath, there was only a small corner of the sun left in the sky. Zhao Chen, who was on the high platform, was relieved. As his apprentice, he was still young and his cultivation was still shallow, so his results in the competition were not important.
Zhou Xing showed the two beast cores he had hunted at the registration desk. The instructor in charge looked at the eggs in his arms in surprise before taking notes.
The sun completely set, and a group of instructors immediately entered Shengxi Mountain to search for students who had not returned. It can be expected that many students in the mountain were seriously injured and even turned into cold corpses. Although the college will pay pensions, they will never come back. .
The results were read out immediately after they were handed over to Zhao Chen. As expected, the first place was Xiao Yuanfeng. This person had obtained three second-order beast cores, not to mention the other first-order beast cores. The reward was some spiritual crystals, but with the reward In comparison, the beast core is much more valuable. It can be sold directly to the treasure pavilion of the college, or it can be traded outside, and it may be sold at a high price.
Zhou Xing was about to leave, when suddenly, a figure walked up to him. This person was over two meters tall, with a bulging belly, and was covered in fat. His eyes were squeezed by the fat on his face and looked like they were only as big as soybeans. He said with a naive smile: " Brother Zhou, my name is Shen Dafu. If you are free tonight, I will treat you. How about we all go to Shixian Tower for a big meal?"
