Chapter 13 Killing the Wolf Depot

Seeing Tie Jian's appearance, the demon wolf stopped his rushing forward, stared at two dark yellow eyes, lowered his body, and walked around him.

Before, Tie Jian found a palm-sized copper crystal in a stream several miles away. Just as he was about to pick it up, he encountered this iron-backed demon wolf coming to the stream to drink water.

As a result, they just looked at each other, and it evolved into the current situation of you chasing me.

"Roar!" The demon wolf let out a low roar, and his body was no longer as high as before, but instead rushed towards Tie Jian, clinging to the ground.

Tie Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a sound of "厱呷", he pulled out the short sword attached to his waist, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the demon wolf.

The latter's eyes flashed fiercely, and his figure rushed forward, but when it was approaching, it stopped abruptly.

The hair on its back suddenly froze, and two thorns, supported by the forward charge, were twice as fast as the previous blow, and shot out from bottom to top, heading straight for Tie Jian's face.

Tie Jian immediately took a step back, and with a flick of his wrist, the dagger in his hand lit up with a crimson light, and with a flash in front of him, a folded red arc was drawn, and the thorns of the demon wolf were cut off.

At the same time, his left hand gestured in the air for a while, and a fist-sized scarlet fireball shot out immediately, drawing a strange arc in mid-air and hitting the demon wolf.

After the repair of his dantian, after half a month of practice, the mana in his body has recovered a lot, and his realm has returned to the fourth level of the Qi-refining period, and he can use spells with ease.

Only heard a "bang" sound.

The demon wolf actually twisted its waist and avoided it. The fireball hit an ancient tree, and immediately burned through a hole.

Tie Jian sneered, a red light lit up under his feet, took a step forward, the whole person moved a few meters away, and then his feet slammed on a giant tree, his body was like a flying knife The same, shot straight at the demon wolf.

This speed was extremely fast, almost in an instant, he had dodged to the side of the demon wolf, raised his sword, and slashed towards the demon wolf's neck.

All the thorns on the demon wolf's back fell forward, protecting its neck like a row of steel cones.

Tie Jian's sword edge fell, slashed on top of the thorns, and immediately splashed a red spark.

The short sword was kicked up by this force, and the two thorns of the demon wolf were also broken.

Before Tie Jian could use his second sword, the demon wolf had already turned around and bit his waist with a bloody mouth.

Tie Jian was a little busy with his toes, and his figure immediately retreated backwards, but the corner of his clothes was still bitten off by the demon wolf.

He shuddered slightly in his heart, but he really did not expect that the thorns of this demon wolf would be so tough that even a mid-grade magic sword could only cut off two at a time.

After the demon wolf cut off the two thorns, a strand of hair on its back shook for a moment, and two new thorns with a reddish color grew out of their original positions.

"Woooooo..." The demon wolf's eyes were full of vigilance, his eyes never leaving Tie Jian, and there were bursts of low-pitched roars in his throat.

Tie Jian leaned forward slightly, the flames under his feet lit up again, his body suddenly rushed forward, the short sword in his hand was brightly rune, and a crimson flame entwined from it, slashing down towards the demon wolf.

This time, the demon wolf didn't use the thorns to carry it hard, but twisted its waist and jumped out to the side, dodging it.

However, it only jumped a few feet away, and as soon as it landed on its four feet, a crimson light suddenly lit up under it.

A low-level fire talisman "Boomed", and a group of crimson flames erupted, bursting apart.

The demon wolf let out a whimper, and its body was slammed into the flames, and it was thrown into the air involuntarily.

There was a smile on the corner of Tie Jian's mouth, and he had already leaped into the air, his hands clenched the hilt of the sword, the flame of the sword was lingering, and the tip of the sword was pointing down, stabbing the demon wolf's head heavily.

"Pfft" sound.

The flaming dagger directly pierced through the hardest skull of the demon wolf and pinned it into the ground.

After landing, Tie Jianyou refused to give up, and clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, twisting it left and right a few times.

The demon wolf's body twitched violently a few times, the towering hair on his body gradually fell down, and the light in the dark yellow eyes gradually dimmed, completely losing its vitality.

Tie Jian let out a sigh of relief and was about to draw out his dagger when a strange scene appeared.

The golden flame in his dantian suddenly jumped abruptly, and a feeling of fiery scalding followed in his heart.On the whole body of the demon wolf, a light blue light lit up slightly, and it floated up slightly, condensing into a light blue demon wolf phantom in the void that was about a foot away from the body.

"This is... a demon soul?" Tie Jian didn't think of it at all, and was quite surprised.

It is not unusual that monsters have monster souls, ordinary humans have living souls, and cultivators have magic souls.

However, whether it is a monster or a human race, after the death of life, the monster soul, the soul soul and the magic soul will dissipate on their own.

No, it should be said that it is unique!
Just when Tie Jian was full of surprise, he saw the rune on the short sword clenched tightly in his hand, and the light golden flame covered it, and a strange attraction force was born from it.

"Pfft" sounded softly.

The phantom of the demon wolf that did not disperse suddenly collapsed, pouring into the dagger like smoke.

Immediately afterwards, Tie Jian felt a scorching heat in the palm of his hand, and a warm current rushed into it, flowing rapidly along the meridians in his body, reaching his dantian.

Tie Jian was startled, he hurriedly sat down with his knees crossed, and closed his eyes to look inside.

I saw a blue smoke suspended in his dantian, like a thin cloud, lingering uncertainly.

The light golden flame below it suddenly flashed, and a strand of flame stretched upwards, instantly lighting up the cloud and turning it into a light blue flame.

"Well……"

There was a sudden pain in Tie Jian's dantian, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

But then, the wisps of cloud flakes burned out, turned into wisps of pure mana, and instantly filled his dantian.

With the feeling of bulging, there was a light sound in the dantian, as if something suddenly shattered.

"How is that possible? This is..."

Tie Jian opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a burst of surprise in his eyes.

At that moment, his cultivation level recovered from the fourth level of the Qi refining period to the fifth level.

In addition to the surprise, he still did not dare to be careless. After stabilizing his mind a little, he quickly closed his eyes and meditated to stabilize his state.

After a long while, Tie Jian slowly opened his eyes, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he still couldn't believe it.

He really couldn't figure out why he was able to devour the demon soul of this demon wolf and convert it into mana?
"Could it be because of this magic sword?" He took the short sword out of the demon wolf's head and looked at it carefully.

There was indeed something unusual on the sword just now, and the demon soul of the demon wolf indeed flowed into his body through the sword.

However, this sword was made by himself, except that it was smelted with his own fire and carved with talismans, there was nothing special about it.

"Could it be... or because of my strange fire?" Tie Jian was slightly stunned.

After thinking for a while, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, and he smiled again and said to himself: "Never mind, it's not a bad thing anyway. The big deal is to stay in this Seiyu Mountain for a little longer to verify it."

After solving his own problems, Tie Jian turned his eyes to the demon wolf under him, and couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.

The thorns of this demon wolf are obviously several times tougher than the ordinary iron-back demon wolf, and it also has a good regeneration ability, which is obviously unusual.

Thinking of this, Tie Jian immediately clenched the dagger in his hand and slashed again towards the demon wolf's head, cutting it in half in three or two strokes.

He held his breath for fear of missing something, he used his sword to swipe in the demon wolf's head, and searched for a while, but still found nothing.

"I thought it was an alien that accidentally condensed the demon pill... Well, it seems that I still think too much." Tie Jian retracted the dagger, slightly disappointed.

Just as he stood up and planned to return to the stream to retrieve the red copper ore crystal, out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the demon wolf's bulging abdomen.

He squatted down a little reluctantly, pierced the belly of the demon wolf with a short sword, and with a light stroke from front to back, a bunch of heart, liver, spleen, lungs and intestines rushed out immediately.

The bloody scene made Tie Jian feel sick to his stomach.

However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the monster wolf's stomach had swelled to a surprisingly large size, and the surface was uneven and irregular, and it was obvious that there were foreign objects hidden inside.

Holding the dagger, he gently stroked his stomach, and a dark object reflecting metallic luster slowly slipped out.

"It's actually this thing?" Tie Jian exclaimed involuntarily.

I saw that the object was the size of a dog's head, and it looked strange and rugged. At first glance, it looked like a large black coal ball, but if you looked closely, you would find that the surface of the object reflected a pale golden light, and under the light, there were still living things. A wisp of leaf vein-like gold lines.

Tie Jian suppressed the joy in his heart, took out a piece of cloth from his bosom, hurriedly wrapped it from the wolf's stomach and took it out.

After returning to the stream, he immediately threw the strange black iron into the water and cleaned it carefully.

As the viscous liquid stained on it was washed away by running water, strands of gold thread patterns were refracted in the soft sand at the bottom of the water under the sunlight, reflecting a bright golden net, which looked very peculiar.

"It's really golden-patterned iron, no wonder the monster wolf's physique will change. It seems that this mountain of Xiyou has become a blessed place for me, and I won't go back for the time being..." Tie Jian hehe, thinking to himself.

Immediately, he jumped into the stream, picked up the black iron, wrapped it in a long cloth, and tied it behind his back.Then along the stream all the way up, after finding the copper ore crystal, it returned to the shore.

Tie Jian raised his head and glanced at the sky, and found that it was already a little dark, so he turned and walked towards the depths of the dense forest to the west.

……

More than two months have passed like this.

In Seiyu Mountain, in a hidden cave.

A blue-haired demon bear with a bone armor that was more than a zhang tall, leaned against the rock wall of the cave with blood oozing from the corner of its mouth. The light in its eyes was dim, and it had lost its vitality.

Beneath its giant claws, Tie Jian with a red hairband tied on his head was holding a red-lit dagger in both hands, slashing diagonally into its chest.
