,
Later, Jian Chen also temporarily walked with this group of mercenaries. After some small talk, the relationship between Jian Chen and this group of mercenaries also unknowingly became a lot closer, and at the same time , Jian Chen also gained some understanding of this group of mercenaries.
This mercenary group is a small mercenary group named Yiqi. There are more than 80 people in the group. In addition to the leader who has the strength of a senior holy master, there are also five masters of the holy master class. As for the rest The people are all great saints and saints.
Since it was already late at night, Jian Chen and the people from the Loyalty Mercenary Group chatted for a while and then went to rest. Jian Chen also took out a tent from his space belt and set it up, and then took out two magic cores. He entered a state of cultivation.
The energy in the magic core was absorbed by Jian Chen at a very terrifying speed, but what was different from before was that as soon as this energy entered Jian Chen's body, it rushed towards the purple-green sword spirit in Jian Chen's dantian. It was not absorbed by Jian Chen at all.
The current Ziqing Sword Spirit is very weak, and its strength is less than one ten thousandth of what it was in its heyday. Therefore, Jian Chen is not in a hurry to improve his strength for the time being, but instead pours all the energy in the demon core into Ziqing. In the Sword Spirit, this will speed up the recovery of the Purple Green Sword Spirit, because now he can borrow part of the power of the Purple Green Sword Spirit, and as the power of the Purple Green Sword Spirit increases, the power he can draw on will also be greater. of strength.
Moreover, now that Jian Chen's strength has just broken through to the Great Saint Master, he does not dare to continue to crazily improve his strength like before. Although the violent factor in the magic core energy will be absorbed by the Ziqing Sword Spirit, his strength is still If you improve too quickly, it will only lead to an unstable foundation, which will have a great impact on the future.
The Ziqing Sword Spirit absorbs the energy in the demon core very quickly, much faster than what Jian Chen used to consume during his previous training. A fourth-level demon core was absorbed by the Ziqing Sword Spirit in just one hour.
Jian Chen took a deep breath. Now, he was shocked by the speed at which the Purple Green Sword Spirit absorbed the magic core energy. He didn't know whether it was because the Purple Green Sword Spirit became stronger than before, or whether it was before. The speed of absorbing the energy of the magic core has been deliberately suppressed. In short, the Ziqing Sword Spirit absorbs the energy in the magic core much faster now. A fourth-level magic core was consumed in just one hour. Such a terrifying consumption speed made Jian Chen frightened again.
After all, the fourth-level magic core is not the third-level magic core. If one third-level magic core is consumed in one hour, Jian Chen can barely withstand it, but if one fourth-level magic core is consumed in one hour, Jian Chen will feel a little uncomfortable. It’s too much to take. Although it is easy for him to hunt down fourth-order monsters with his current strength, the number of fourth-order monsters is not as large as that of third-order monsters and second-order monsters.
"Sigh... One hour will consume one fourth-level magic core. Twelve hours a day will consume twelve fourth-level magic cores. How can you afford this?" Jian Chen sighed secretly, and then relaxed Not long after, his brows wrinkled again. Soak in *books*
The night is very quiet, and snoring can be heard from time to time in the quiet camp.
…
In the early morning, when the sun just showed its red face from the line between the sky and the earth, the sound of conversation came from outside the tent of the Yiqi Mercenary Group, accompanied by the "crackling" of the burning fire. sound.
Jian Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in the tent, slowly opened his eyes and then walked out of the tent, looking around casually.
I saw more than forty people active now, lighting fires, putting away tents, and some people were feeding their mounts with feed, looking busy.
In some tents, strong men continued to climb out of them, each with sleepy eyes and yawning, obviously not sleeping well.
Jian Chen shook his head slightly, then turned around and started to pack up his tent.
"Hey, Jian Chen, did you sleep well last night?" At this time, a slightly thick voice came from not far away. Hearing the sound, Jian Chen looked back and saw a burly man with his upper body exposed walking towards him.
Jian Chen recognized this person as Hedolf, the leader of the Loyalty Mercenary Group.
"Well, not bad!" Jian Chen replied with a smile. Last night, he didn't sleep at all. To be precise, Jian Chen has slept very rarely since he was a child, and since he became a saint, he has slept even less. He spent almost every day and night practicing.
Sleeping is nothing more than excessive depletion of the mind during the day, which requires sleep to recover. Once a person falls into a deep sleep, his mind goes blank and he enters an ethereal state. In this state, he cannot feel the passage of time at all, while ordinary people This is the most basic way to restore the energy consumed during the day. The difference between warriors is that when they enter the state of cultivation, their spirit will also enter the ethereal state. In this state, not only can his spirit be restored, but the recovery speed is much faster than sleeping.
Sleeping is actually a way to restore the spirit. For some people whose spirits are powerful enough, it is extremely normal for them to stay awake for several days and nights.
After having breakfast, everyone in the Loyalty Mercenary Group immediately started on their way. Since Jian Chen had no mounts, he sat on a carriage full of goods and rushed towards Wacker City in a bumpy way.
In the blink of an eye, Jian Chen followed the team of the Loyalty Mercenary Group on their way for a whole day. During this period, Jian Chen also chatted with some mercenaries from time to time. The relationship seemed to have become deeper unknowingly. .
At this moment, Jian Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the carriage full of goods with his eyes closed, suddenly changed his expression, and then his slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, his eyes were staring sharply ahead, and he shouted: "Everyone, be careful, there is something ahead. There is movement, this should be a monster charging towards us."
Hearing Jian Chen's loud shout, the team immediately stopped and everyone stared sharply ahead. However, after looking for a moment, the front was calm and there was no abnormality at all.
"Jian Chen, you are too sensitive, everything is normal here, how can there be any movement." A mercenary turned to look at Jian Chen and said with some complaints.
"Yes, Jian Chen, you can't say things like this casually. In the future, you should stop making such jokes before clarifying the matter." This time, the speaker was the leader of the Loyalty Mercenary Group, Hedolf, with a tone of voice. A bit reproachful.
However, just as Hedoff finished speaking, suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly.
"Captain, there is really movement, please pay attention to the ground." A mercenary standing on the ground first noticed the movement on the ground and immediately said to Captain Hedov.
"The ground is shaking..."
"Is there a cavalry team passing through here..."
"We won't encounter a swarm of monsters..."
…
Following this man's words, the rest of the Loyalty Mercenary Group also noticed the movement on the ground. Their expressions became a little solemn, and they all said speculatively.
"Be on guard, be on guard, be ready for battle." Captain Hedov immediately shouted loudly without any hesitation.
The mercenaries of the Loyalty Mercenary Group immediately took action. Dozens of them sacrificed their holy soldiers at the same time, forming a formation and staring ahead with solemn expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.
