The dense jungle covers the mountain wall, the sun is high, the breeze blows, and the shadows of the trees look a bit eerie.

In a pile of rocks overgrown with weeds, Li Chen crouched and walked slowly forward. Even in the daytime, there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes under his hair.

He carefully scanned the surroundings and did not take it lightly just because it was quiet here. Although he was young and had never been to Gu Cang Mountain, his grandfather Lao Li Tou told him many stories.

Especially about the warrior who entered Gu Cang Mountain to hunt for treasure and lost his life because of being careless.

Since childhood, due to ugly birthmarks and inability to condense inner energy,

He stared intently at a chopstick-thick, cyan-colored vine that was no more than a foot long, with small yellow thorns all over its body.

On its tender green leaves, there are a few drops of dew trembling slightly, which look extremely pleasant under the light from above.

"Green Thorn Vine, a first-grade high-grade elixir, and the main ingredient of a top-grade breath-gathering pill!"

The message of the vines flashed through his mind. Li Chen's career as a medicine slave for more than three years has not been in vain. He carefully scanned the earth and rocks within a certain range around the vines, not missing any trace.

Being able to discover the elixir before others does not depends on his cultivation, but his keen sense of smell from being a medicine slave for many years.

Suddenly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a circle of strange demonic snakes that seemed to be the same as the surrounding earth and rocks, but were obviously connected into one piece, with a body as thick as a child's forearm and no more than two feet long, came into view.

"Earth-ringed snake, a mid-level first-order monster, heavy on defense, extremely poisonous, and extremely powerful!"

When he discovered the earth-ringed snake, he suddenly swallowed a scarlet snake letter and looked up at Li Chen.

Monsters are naturally bloodthirsty, and their spiritual senses are even more astute. Even though Li Chen did his best according to Professor Lao Li Tou's knowledge, he still lacked experience.

Facing this first-level intermediate monster that even sixth-level warriors were obsessed with, Li Chen retreated a little, but thinking about Lao Li Tou's speed teaching, the snake-like monster's close attack speed was extremely fast. If he retreated a little, he would definitely be bitten by the thunder of the earth-ringed snake.

Although his scalp was numb, there was still excitement in his heart. Li Chen exerted force on his calf, moving like a rabbit, and jumped up with a whooshing sound. His eyes burst out with a frightening light. The inner energy reaching the fifth level in his meridians suddenly surged into his right arm, and he punched the snake's neck fiercely.

That was the key point of the Earth-ringed Snake. Li Chen and Xixin shattered the inner veins in his body with one punch. No matter how strong his vitality was, it was of no avail.

It seemed that it was startled by Li Chen's actions, but after all it was a monster that grew up in a cruel environment. The earth-ringed snake opened its mouth and neighed, and its whole body stretched and bounced up. It actually bypassed the fist peak and bit at the throat like lightning.

Li Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, his fist posture remained unchanged, but he changed his fist into claws. He had already perfected the Tiger Roaring Fist, and his palms could change and contract freely. In addition, he had learned the advanced human-level skill "Rongyang Jue", which was extremely strong and extremely yang, and its lethality was even greater.

Under the blessing of the inner breath, the muscles on the palms of the fingers faintly felt the air waves passing through, and with a snap, they caught the incoming earth snake.

It was as if a rough iron rod had been grasped between its tentacles. The snake was only two feet long and was a little longer than Li Chen's arm. It was caught in the middle and lower part and immediately bit his shoulder.

Li Chen swung his whole arm around, and before it could bite him, it turned rapidly like a windmill, hitting the snake one at a time, and the gravel splashed and banged.

After a full cup of tea, he felt that the strength of the snake's tail around his wrist was loosening. He twisted his body and stepped on the top of his head with his foot.

There was a soft sound and a flash of cold light. A dagger with silver light suddenly appeared in Li Chen's left hand. Enduring the faint pain in his arm, he pinned the snake to the ground and stabbed the small blue-white spot on the back of its neck.

The blade of the blade penetrated the flesh, splashing a trace of sweet and fishy blood. The critically injured terrestrial snake twisted twice and then stopped moving.

A monster comparable to a sixth-level warrior in the Inner Breath Realm could be killed in just two moves. Apart from its low intelligence, it has no other advantages except toxicity and defense. In addition to Li Chen's cultivation techniques and his own extremely strong physique, it is enough to prove that Li Chen's strength at this time is definitely stronger than that of ordinary sixth-level warriors.

At this time, his cultivation level had already broken through to the fifth level after secretly taking the Energy Gathering Pill at night.

It was just that there were so many Xi Gathering Pills that allowed Li Chen to break through to the peak of the fifth level in the past few months of hard training, but it made him a little discouraged.

He gasped for air and had no time to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Li Chen took out a jade bottle from his backpack, pulled out the cork, and turned the snake body upside down.

A stream of dark red snake blood flowed out, exuding heat, and poured into the small jade bottle. Until the snake blood turned red, Li Chen put the snake body down and put it back into the backpack.

After doing this, Li Chen peeled off the snake skin and pulled out the fangs. As for the snake meat, he finally chose to give up. The smell of blood was too strong to avoid being noticed by others.

If others knew that a "waste" like him could hunt down mid-level first-order monsters, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

After being humiliated for many years, I still have this bit of forbearance.

Unfortunately, after pinching the snake corpse, no demon core was found.

He carefully dug out the green thorn vine. Just when he was about to take a rest, he suddenly got up and ran towards a place in the forest.

The figure like a monkey disappeared in the dense forest in an instant.

The harsh sound of the flute came from a distance, one after another. If Li Chen didn't have an amazing ear, he might have missed it, or he might have heard it as the cry of some kind of monster.

Underwear fluttered in the dense forest, and Li Chen kept rushing toward the sound of the flute.

When it reappears, hide in the gap between two boulders and look into the distance.

In the messy bushes, there were seven or eight people with weapons in hand, confronting each other. Judging from their clothes, they were all disciples of Xuanyun Sect, but they were obviously divided into two groups.

In the middle is a dark brown demon pig lying on the ground, fully two meters in size, with blood marks all over its body.

"You people from the East Campus robbed my disciples from the South Campus of their demon cores. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Master of the Campus?"

Li Chen recognized that the outer disciple named Zhang Futong was only at the fifth level.

Behind him, Zhao Shanshan supported another young man who fell to the ground. There was a shocking pool of blood on his chest. His chest was rising and falling slightly, and he was severely injured.

This person's name is Liu Ziqing. He is the strongest among the three. He is at the sixth level of the Inner Breath Realm, but he doesn't want to be hurt here.

Maybe Li Chen was the closest to this place, but he was the one who got here first.

"What this junior brother said is unacceptable. This is the monster we hunted, so why would we rob it?"

Opposite, a young man with two daggers on his waist casually tossed the demon core the size of a dragon's eye in his hand. It was obvious that the demon pig was a mid-stage demon beast.

A mid-level demon core is comparable to the effectiveness of several mid-level energy gathering pills, and it cannot be more precious to outer disciples.

Zhang Futong was so angry at the other party's shameless words that he lost his momentum and was speechless for a moment.

"Hmph, Lu Hongyang, I think you are itchy. Do you dare to bully my junior brother?"

There was a loud bang, and a fat figure jumped down from the boulder in the distance and rushed towards this place quickly.
