Rise Against Desperation

Lin Hu recognized the disgusting face and actions of the evil spirit master.

"As expected, the Lin Family is concealing these items!" After giving it some thought, he realized that this wasn't too far from the Lin Clan. It was highly likely that they were members of the Lin Clan. However, he was not foolish enough to jump down and fight directly. He did not even know the strength of his enemies. He could only restrain his martial aura and adjust his breathing to the lowest possible level.

The killer was right in front of him, yet he didn't have the strength to kill him. Lin Hu's heart was currently filled with hatred, his eyes were as calm as he tried to control his breathing to the extreme, using the surrounding grass to cover himself.

Looking at the two shriveled corpses, Lin Hua's eyes narrowed. These two disciples were dressed in white, and the Lin Family symbol was in their eyes, and they were actually two core disciples. Their deaths could not be determined, but from the aura the man in black revealed that he was at least at the peak of martial arts.

Even though he possessed the Ji Realm cultivation, Lin Hu still chose to quietly wait and see. After the black clothed man left, Lin Hua jumped down and rummaged through the corpses of the two Lin Clan disciples.

The state of death was exactly the same as the death of the people from the Fragrant Night Village that night. It was very obvious that Lin Hu had found traces of his enemy. Lin Hu looked around with a puzzled expression on his face.

This place was close to the front mountains, but these people were coming from the depths. Could they be disciples who had gone into the mountains to gain experience?

"Could it be that the Evil Soul Master has been hunting the disciples that enter the Spirit Beast Mountain? Or is it that the Evil Soul Master is hiding within the Lin Clan Estate?"

With these questions in mind, Lin Hu looked in the direction the black-clothed man left and followed after him.

Lin Hu was not as bold as to directly follow behind the man in black. Instead, he estimated a general direction and headed in that direction.

There was another reason as to why Lin Hua was heading in this direction. It was because the medicinal herbs he had harvested along the way opened up Lin Hua's sight.

He firmly believed that the deeper he went, the more precious the medicinal herbs would be. He also believed that he might even encounter the genius earth treasure mentioned by Zi Tong.

Of course, right now, Lin Yuan was still in the vicinity of the front mountains, but he had already left the areas under the jurisdiction of the Lin Clan's ancestral manor.

The surroundings were extremely quiet. The sky gradually darkened and a faint killing intent began emitting from the surroundings. This coldness was so clear that it was extremely dangerous for a small martial artist to walk around in the dark.

After returning, Lin Hu decisively chose a secret location to stay in tonight.

The roars of spirit beasts could be heard from time to time when night fell, as well as the rustling sounds coming from the dense forest. It was unknown just how big of an insect type of spirit beast it was crawling on.

So, in the mountain ranges at night, only the trees were the safest. However, one had to be extremely alert because if they were to be in that place for even the slightest bit of carelessness, their lives would be lost and they would no longer walk on the road of martial cultivation.

On the treetop, the forest sprout had a hole in it, big enough for a person to live in. He sat down cross-legged and started to absorb the Heaven and Earth Martial Qi.

The concentration of martial energy here was very suitable. If one were to calculate it, it should be about five times that of the Aromatic Leaf Village, which was about twice that of the front mountains of the Lin Clan Estate.

No wonder all the disciples of the Lin Clan would come to Spirit Beast Mountain to gain experience. Although the risks were huge, the effects could be considered quite remarkable.

At this moment, Lin Hu thought of Lin Wushuang. He could tell who this person was with a single glance in the Lin Clan Residence. He was silent and his eyes revealed a fearless fighting spirit.

The most important thing was that once the clan gathering was over, he would enter Spirit Beast Mountain to cultivate alone. He was also a madman when it came to cultivation.

"With these black-clothed men appearing in Spirit Beast Mountain, I wonder how the Lin Clan disciples are doing." Shaking his head, Lin Hu smiled, "I don't care what they do." As he spoke, Lin Hu turned his gaze back.

The weeds here had experienced an entire night's worth of growth, and they would also be covered with the marks from before. If he wanted to find a way back, he would have to make a good record of it.

Or another way down the mountain to Cloud City. With these thoughts in mind, Lin Hua took out his dagger and drew an arrow on the treetop.

The four branches of the tree extended outward like tentacles, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. It was easy to distinguish, and was thus used as a marker by the forest buds.

After finishing all of this, Lin Hua closed his eyes and began to breathe. The surrounding Qi slowly entered his body. Although there were very few people who had stored it in their fields, it was still much better than the previous mountains.

After a few hours, he could already see the gas field had increased by a bit. This increase was caused by the compression of martial energy, just like thick soup.

He floated calmly within the aura field. When he finished absorbing the martial qi, Lin Hua originally wanted to practice the [Three Souls Art].

However, this place was too dangerous. He did not want to face the worst possible situation.

Thus, he stopped his hands. As for the starlight, he didn't use it. Firstly, he wasn't injured, and secondly, he didn't use the starlight he absorbed yesterday.

Thus, he began to examine the medicinal ingredients required for the Three Saint Dragon Striking Technique. The Purple Eye had helped him cultivate the Three Saints Holy Dragon Fighting Technique eight times before, and it was already a great help.

He would not continue to lick his face and ask Zi Tong for medicinal ingredients. Thinking back to those glowing medicinal herbs, he felt that they were worth quite a bit.

The medicinal ingredients that he picked today that he thought were excellent could not be compared with the ones he picked that day in the Purple Eye. That was why he chose to go deeper in. Rank 4 Fire Spirit Beast Cores, Heavenly Vines and Manchu Flowers, Jade Lake Fire Grass. "

The more he read, the more disappointed Lin Hua became. Just from the names, these medicinal herbs were worth quite a bit. At that time, Zi Tong had not explained just how expensive they were, and had only mentioned how priceless they were.

Looking at it, he shook his head, dispelling the hope of obtaining the ninth piece of skin. It was not suitable for practice tonight and his strength was low. Thus, he did not dare to attract the attacks of the spirit beasts in the middle of the night. "Gulp." With a light sound, Lin Hu instantly jumped onto another tree and headed towards the other treetops. He didn't turn back as he continued to jump all the way.

If he was able to escape, he didn't want to waste any time. However, the result left him disappointed. His soul had spread to the back and a three meter long figure was chasing him. From the looks of it, its aura should be a peak Rank 1 spirit beast.

He stood on top of the tree and took out the potholed iron rod. He held it with both hands and waited for the figure to close in on him. He started moving at the same speed as it did.

It was actually a lizard type spirit beast. Its body was three meters tall and was somewhat sinister. Its sharp claws slashed down on Lin Hua's head.

In the face of this attack, Lin Hua gently stepped back, his toes reaching the top of the tree as he dangerously dodged the attack. As the air was the best target of attack, Lin Hu had no choice but to take out his iron rod to block it. "Clank, clank, clank."

The sound of sharp claws colliding with metal resounded through the night. A martial artist that couldn't fly would be the most fatal. That was why Lin Hu was struck to the ground.

With a shake of his hair, his eyes became clear as he stared at the spirit beast with fighting spirit. The power of this beast was almost the same as his, so he was suddenly interested and had completely forgotten about being in Spirit Beast Mountain.
