Chen Fan's eyes opened slightly, and in that hazy sight, Yalan saw his smile, "Congratulations, Sister Lan." He said softly.
After revealing the magical effect of the mysterious martial spirit, Chen Fan's heart was filled with surging passion. Although the past few days that Yalan spent with him were difficult, her slight progress and sudden step into the realm of Qi Condensation all showed the endless magical effects of this mysterious martial spirit.
"Thank you." Yalan responded in a low voice, with deep gratitude flowing in her eyes.
She clearly knew that this series of changes all originated from Chen Fan. In the past few days, she had personally experienced the benefits of Chen Fan's help. The feeling was real.
"Yes. Maybe the medicine in my body is responsible, but your dedication and hard work are more critical factors." Chen Fan spoke calmly, but his tone was full of approval, "Sister Lan, you have reached the level of Qi Condensation." In this situation, why not give it a try and see if your 'Blue Lotus Flame' martial spirit has changed?"
Yalan's eyes flashed with smiles. She smiled like a blooming flower and slowly stretched out her left hand. In an instant, a blue flame bloomed in the palm of her hand.
Like a blue windbreaker, the flame covered her entire hand, as huge as a watermelon. The blue flame seemed to be alive, like small flame snakes swimming around her smooth-skinned wrists.
As the thoughts in Yalan's heart fluctuated, the strange "Blue Lotus Flame" also changed rapidly, constantly changing its shape like running water. It took on the shape of a spiritual snake for a while, and turned into a domineering bird at another time. Its momentum was like a rainbow, as if it could happen at any time All will fly and leap.
"The moment I stepped into the realm of Qi Condensation, I realized the changes in the 'Blue Lotus Flame'. It became more powerful." Yalan raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, looking happy, "It's not just the size. It increases in size and condenses matter. This is the second stage ability of 'Blue Lotus Flame'."
Chen Fan nodded lightly and immediately understood the extraordinary features of Yalan's "Blue Lotus Flame" martial spirit, and praised: "Congratulations to Sister Lan, your 'Blue Lotus Flame' has evolved to the second stage. "
"This is all thanks to you." The joy of the breakthrough made Yalan's eyes sparkle, her smile was full, and the curve of her mouth seemed to contain a new sense of spring.
"What, what's going on?"
Mu Ge, who was sitting on the tree, had deep surprise on his young face. He said in disbelief, "Sister Lan, how could you have broken through to the realm of Qi Condensation so quickly in just ten days? I remember that you spent half a year in the third level of Qi Gathering, right? "
"That's right." Yalan replied, her voice filled with happiness, "It did take me half a year to enter the third level of Qi Gathering, and I didn't expect that I could break through to the Qi Condensing realm so quickly. I originally thought that I would need at least three to five years of practice before I could enter the realm of Qi Condensation, haha."
Mu Ge's eyes widened and he was speechless.
Could it be that... that person's concoction really has god-level effects?
This thought made Mu Ge blush, and he scolded himself secretly, trying to drive this thought out of his heart.
…
The day of progress continues. Five more days have passed, and Chen Fan and his friends are still taking cautious and meticulous exploration actions in the dark forest.
During the past five days, every night, the entire Dream Forest was as bustling as a huge market. The roars of monsters and the screams of human warriors and mercenaries were everywhere, and those who heard them shuddered in their hearts.
Chen Fan guessed that of course someone would attract high-level monsters, so he chose to find shelter in a quiet and safe area at night, and was determined not to go out at night.
They were determined to avoid the monsters and not provoke the passing mercenaries. They were frightened and adopted a low-key avoidance strategy.
Because of such steady control, although the three of them could not walk a lot in the past five days, they also avoided most dangers.
And Chen Fan was also lucky enough to find the warrior who had recently died at the mouth of a monster. When the monster leaves, the recently deceased corpse will release the remaining essence. Chen Fan will collect it as soon as possible after making sure it is safe.
Every time he collects energy, he will carefully wait for a while to ensure that the monster has completely left before daring to appear.
Although the gains each time were not huge, after a few rounds, these essences significantly enhanced his "Iron Martial Spirit".
Now, as long as he makes a will, his body can be completely covered with metal in an instant. His skin turned dark brown, and his skin's defense was gradually increasing.
During these days, he continued to practice the "madness" technique, but the final step had always troubled him. Every time he tried to touch the negative energy contained in the acupuncture points on his head, he would suffer from severe headaches, and the pain would even reach the point of fainting when his vitality went retrograde.
After several days of practice, he still couldn't find any possibility of breakthrough in the last step of "madness".
After experiencing several fainting spells, he began to wonder if there was something wrong with his cultivation methods. So he decided to temporarily put aside his practice, calm down and think about how to deal with it, looking forward to solving this dilemma in a new way.
…
Deep into the night, Chen Fan and his friends hid in a dark cave in the valley. They covered the cave entrance with shrub leaves and whispered.
Outside the cave, the sounds of monsters penetrated one after another, and their low roars and roars filled the surroundings. The outside world seems to have been completely occupied by monsters.
"The situation tonight is a bit abnormal. It seems that all the monsters in the Dream Dark Forest have come to participate in the big commotion." Yalan frowned and said, "This is really strange. Even in the face of the frequent activities of human mercenaries and warriors, The monster beasts will only make a fuss for a few days at most, it’s impossible for so many monster beasts to be out, what exactly happened.”
"The monster is so excited, it must be guided by a higher-level monster." Chen Fan looked serious, "That 'Thunder Wing Silver Wolf' is a seventh-level monster, equivalent to our human warriors in the Fusion Realm. Not only does it have It contains a demon crystal, and its intelligence is as good as ours. If it takes the lead, it will definitely cause big trouble."
"Fortunately, we have been very cautious these days. We are not in a hurry to walk, just for safety. Otherwise, we will definitely encounter unexpected events." Yalan nodded in agreement.
"Tap!" "Tap!"
The sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the outside world. Judging from the sound, there should be human warriors moving.
Especially now that monsters appear frequently, if you hear the movements of human warriors, there is probably nothing good going on. It is likely that they are escaping from the monsters.
"Should we go take a look? Maybe we can help them?" The kind-hearted Mu Ge asked the two people for their opinions in a low voice.
However, neither Chen Fan nor Yalan made a sound, they just looked at each other.
"Are you just ignoring death?" Mu Ge raised his eyebrows, looking a little displeased.
Chen Fan responded, "Monsters are raging in the outside world. We have finally found a safe haven. If our traces are exposed, we may face greater danger. Moreover, how can you be sure that the warriors outside will not Are you the source of trouble? If they take a fancy to you, there is no guarantee that it will not cause endless problems. So, it is best to mind your own business." When responding to Mu Ge's question, he did not deliberately take Mu Ge's emotions into consideration.
Mu Ge is not ignorant and fearless, she is aware of these situations in her heart, but she cannot calmly face seeing others being tortured mercilessly by monsters, which is why she has such doubts.
However, Chen Fan's stern expression and ruthless lessons made her feel that there was no place for her face. She raised her head and muttered softly: "It's so inhumane and cold-blooded. I thought you were..."
"That's not fear of death, that's asking for death!"
Chen Fan frowned slightly and sneered: "Miss Mu, you saved my life twice, but I think I have repaid your kindness. I want you to understand that I am no longer staying here because of you. The reason is because of Uncle Luo’s responsibility.”
He paused for a moment, and then continued to say seriously: "I am not your servant, don't use your eldest lady temper to boss me around! If I really feel bored, I can leave at any time, and you can do whatever you want."
"You!" Mu Ge's eyes were full of doubts. She felt extremely wronged. She gritted her teeth and her throat was full of aggrieved words: "You...you only bully me!"
"Okay, now we need to unite. We are all going to the Business Alliance. If we unite, we will have one more person to rely on. Stop arguing." Yalan tried to appease everyone.
However, Chen Fan suddenly stood up with a gloomy expression, "It's not good! Those people seem to have discovered a cave here, and they are coming!"
"Really?" Yalan was startled, quickly picked up the dagger, stood next to Chen Fan, and stared at the cave entrance warily, "What should we do?"
"Howl!" "Roar!"
A series of roars of monster beasts came from outside the cave, coming like a tide, with the tendency of gathering more and more.
"Seal the hole!"
Chen Fan's face darkened, he pulled the rock at the entrance of the cave and ordered: "Hurry and push the rock tight for me. No one can enter the cave! As long as someone enters the cave, the monster will definitely notice something strange here. When the time comes, We will suffer!”
When Chen Fan chose this cave, he carefully sealed the entrance with bushes and buried a large rock inside as a defensive line to hold the position. Unexpectedly, this move really came in handy.
"Okay!" Yalan immediately put down the fear in her heart and hurriedly stretched out her hand to support the rock at the entrance of the cave with Chen Fan.
