I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying?

Chapter 83 Dali Mountains! Li Zixuan's progress!
Outside the suburbs of Jianghai City, in the Dali Mountains.

The mountains are majestic, the breeze blows through the forests, and the huge pine trees rise into the clouds with lush treetops, as if shrouded in darkness.

In the mountains and forests.

The roars of star beasts could be heard everywhere.

The shrill roar, accompanied by the terrifying sound of chewing flesh and blood, echoed among the deep branches...

rustling.

A few fallen leaves slowly fell.

A slender figure appeared on the thick tree trunk, crouching low and carefully observing the surrounding environment.

"We are finally reaching the depths of the mountains."

Li Zixuan breathed lightly, ruffling the hair by her ears, took out the kettle and took a sip of water.

She looked a little embarrassed at the moment.

His clothes were disheveled, his sweaty hair stuck to his forehead, and his face was as pale as silk.

A big cut was accidentally made on the waist and abdomen, but fortunately there was no damage to the skin.

The delicate and fair skin is faintly visible, revealing a glimpse of spring.

"I've changed all the clothes I brought out."

Li Zixuan lowered her head and smoothed the hole on her clothes with her hands.

I suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

Now, a week has passed since I entered the forest, and all the clothes I prepared have been used up.

"Teacher is right. It is indeed very dangerous outside the suburbs."

Li Zixuan calculated the time, leaned against a branch, and thought about her next plan.

Now she had two choices.

One is to fight back home and then digest the accumulation of this week's battles.

First, steadily improve your strength, and strive to go further next time you come back.

And the second one.

Just continue to go deeper into the Dali Mountains.

Seize the opportunity of breakthrough directly and cross the innate threshold in one go!
Both choices have their pros and cons.

Li Zixuan frowned slightly, weighing the choice and hesitated for a moment.

But in an instant!

hum!
The sword in his hand rang, releasing a trembling warning. A cold and sharp murderous intent was like a thorn in the back, making Li Zixuan feel like she was in an ice cellar in an instant.

"not good!"

She reacted quickly, drew her sword with her backhand and slashed behind her.

The sword flashed coldly, cutting into pieces several flying locust stones, which then scattered into streams of light and hit the bark of the giant pine tree, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Bang bang bang!
Deep pits were blasted on the mottled surface of the old bark, as if bullets were drilling into it, with incredible power!
"Stone? Is there anyone here?"

Seeing this, Li Zixuan frowned and looked back in the direction where the gravel came from.

Under the tree canopy that blocked out the sun, rustling sunlight dotted the woods. A creature shaped like an ape hung in front of a branch, its face painted red and white, as if it was wearing a Nuo opera mask.

Weird and scary.

When it saw Li Zixuan looking at it, it was not afraid or dodged, but instead bared its teeth.

A shrill laugh came out of his mouth, echoing in the dark forest.

"Mandrill!"

Li Zixuan immediately recognized this creature and pointed the sword at it, her heart beating wildly in her chest.

Mr. Li had previously specifically reminded us, "There is an old saying among the people in the mountains: 'It is better to encounter jackals than mandrills!'"

The mandrills are moody and lustful by nature.

Once they target you, they will follow you like a leech, all the way through the mountains and forests, and there is no way you can escape their sight.

"But since when did it start targeting me?"

"Why didn't I notice anything?"

Thinking of this, Li Zixuan did not dare to be careless and stared closely at the mandrill opposite.

boom!
The tremendous star pressure was released like a flood, crushing the mandrill.

Want to scare it away.

however.

This didn't work.

The mandrill did not retreat at all. Instead, it released the same star power to counterattack, easily offsetting the pressure.

Indistinctly, he has reached the peak of the acquired realm!
"No wonder I didn't notice it just now."

Li Zixuan's pupils trembled, the hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and her breathing became a little rapid.

The mandrill on the opposite branch saw her like this, and extended its thick tongue to lick its claws, drooling from its mouth. This was no joke.

There is only a thin line between life and death.

Li Zixuan looked at the ugly appearance of the mandrill, and a trace of resolute madness flashed in her eyes.

I must not lose this battle.

Otherwise, if it catches you and takes you back to its nest to play with you, the consequences will be disastrous.

"We have to hold on, hold on."

Li Zixuan calmed down, sheathed the sword, and restrained his breath to avoid attracting other star beasts.

I just released my aura, and now I must finish it quickly.

Only one sword can decide the outcome!

Click!

The sound of tree branches breaking!

The mandrill on the opposite side paused, shattered the thick branch under its feet, and quickly ran around Li Zixuan.

The speed was extremely fast, the mountain wind whistled through the forest, the light and shadows were reflected, and the red and white ferocious ghost faces flashed by, as if they were everywhere.

"Whoo~"

Seeing this, Li Zixuan let out a breath, closed her eyes, and listened to the noisy noise around her.

The leaves swayed, the branches cracked...
Southeast direction!

The mandrill's sharp claws stretched out, cutting the air along the way, and moved towards Li Zixuan's back.

Clang!
next moment.

The cold sword light came out of its sheath, as graceful as a startled wild goose, like the gate of heaven opening, blooming in the depths of the mandrill's eyes.

Then,

It felt a chill on its neck.

The world in my field of vision was spinning, and my head and neck separated and tilted, falling straight under the giant pine tree.

dong dong——

After the dull thud of the body landing, no further sound could be heard.

The mountains and wilderness returned to silence again.

"call."

Li Zixuan breathed lightly, looked at the blood-stained sword in her hand, then raised her thumb to wipe away the few drops of warm blood on her face.

A hint of madness flashed across her pretty face.

The details of the battle just now replayed in my mind, over and over again.

It was as if a heavy hammer had fallen, hitting the shackles that were preventing one from breaking through, causing some signs of loosening.

"really,"

Li Zixuan looked into the depths of the mountains and smiled:
"I made the right choice to come out and gain experience."

..............................

At night, the stars are shining.

Outside the Dali Mountains, the void somewhere was shaking violently.

Qin Yang used the "A World Away" technique and appeared on top of an ancient pine tree while holding Xiaobai.

"Owner."

Xiao Bai yawned, nestled in Qin Yang's arms listlessly, and muttered softly: "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and running out?"

"Besides, bring her along!"

"Shh, be quiet."

Qin Yang raised his index finger to his lips to silence her.

He then expanded his mental power, covering the Dali Mountains as much as possible and searching for the locations of the star beasts within range.

In an instant.

Countless red dots appeared on the vast green mountains, enchanting and terrifying, densely packed, covering the entire mountain and plains, extremely creepy!
"Sure enough, the mountains and wilderness are different from the urban areas. This is the world of star beasts."

Qin Yang withdrew his mental power, then hugged Xiaobai, his figure floating above the pine forest, and rushed towards the Dali Mountains.

"Please help me pay attention later, Xiaobai."

"What are you paying attention to, master?" Xiaobai poked his head out and asked naively.

"Help me see if there are any star beasts with fire attributes."

Qin Yang stroked Xiaobai's head and whispered.

In order to obtain the beast fire for alchemy, you must first find the lair of those fire-attributed star beasts.
