Chapter 007: Black Wind Ridge
"I will help you." Han Man threw down the beast core and came to Lin Feng's side
"Jing Feng, what do you mean by this? Apart from you, no one here can handle an eighth-level demon beast. Are you trying to get Lin Feng killed by sending him?" Qing Yi, sensing Jing Feng's implication, became somewhat displeased.
Lin Feng is not a difficult person to talk to; on the contrary, having endured hardships since childhood, he is straightforward and easygoing, making him very pleasant to interact with
"Level 5 Demon Beast, Clear Wind Wolf, capture him." Han Man suddenly spoke, and not far away, a pair of cold, eerie eyes glimmered with a hint of chill from within the bushes.
Lin Feng sneered coldly. Did he want to eat plain rice? The reason he had not taken action was simply because Han Man and Qing Yi always snatched the opportunity before him, preventing him from intervening. If he truly encountered a crisis, he would naturally not stand by idly. However, this person, in the face of an eighth-level demon beast, pushed himself forward, which was extremely insidious. After all, in his eyes, Lin Feng was nothing but a waste. A waste facing an eighth-level demon beast could only meet death.
"It is merely a fifth-level demon beast," said the young man in white, Jing Feng, with a tone of slight disdain and indifference.
"Alright, I agree." Lin Feng responded almost without hesitation; he indeed wanted to experience it for himself
The owner of the Arrow Martial Soul can track and kill enemies, and possesses strong attack power. However, if it comes to close combat, I am confident that I can deliver a fatal blow to her. Lin Feng was quite satisfied with the sword-drawing technique he had executed; like lightning, it struck with the force of thunder, instantly splitting the arrow, not having wasted the mental torment he endured to cultivate it
"Is it really that easy to think about dividing our beast cores without lifting a finger? If he dies, wouldn't it be better to have one less person to share it with?" said *Tu* *Shu* with disdain.
It is like this: we wish to go to Heifeng Ridge to hunt demon beasts and would like to invite you to join us. The beast cores obtained will be shared equally. I wonder if you are interested. The young man in the green shirt explained that Heifeng Ridge is a vast demon beast forest located to the north of the Yunhai Mountain Range. Some disciples speculate that Heifeng Ridge may be much larger than the entire Yunhai Mountain Range. The Yunhai Sect likely considered the presence of this demon beast forest when establishing their sect here, as the demon beast forest serves as a place for martial practitioners to hone their skills. Additionally, by hunting demon beasts, one can obtain demon beast pelts and cores, which can be exchanged for items beneficial to martial artists.
Brother, my name is Qingyi. This is Senior Brother Han Man, Junior Sister Jingyun, and the one with the highest cultivation, Jingfeng. The young man in the blue shirt introduced Lin Feng, while the burly youth Han Man and the girl Jingyun both smiled and nodded at Lin Feng. Only the white-clad youth with the highest cultivation had a proud expression, his face indifferent.
Lin Feng glanced at the young girl. Although she was not as stunning as Liu Fei, her features were dignified and delicate, her skin smooth and fine, making her quite charming. In his previous life, she would undoubtedly be considered a great beauty. However, from Lin Feng's memories, he knew that the women in this world were indeed much more beautiful than those in his own world, perhaps due to the influence of cultivation.
Lin Feng noticed the sincerity in the eyes of the three individuals, which sparked a hint of goodwill in his heart. Thus, he did not refuse to go together. The five of them crossed several mountain peaks and arrived at Black Wind Ridge.
As four people walked towards Lin Feng, the only woman among them, upon seeing Lin Feng bare-chested, couldn't help but blush slightly and said in a low voice: "Hello, could you please put on some clothes?"
Lin Feng arrived at an open area, feeling a slight chill in his heart. This is a world where the strong are revered, where human life is regarded as insignificant, and killing is as simple as saying the word, as long as one possesses strength
However, we have already entered several thousand meters deep into the Black Wind Ridge. The subsequent monsters may become increasingly powerful, so be cautious. If necessary, we should retreat
Understood, Han Man replied, but as soon as he finished speaking, his gaze became fixed.
"And there is me; the three of us should be able to barely hold off an eighth-level demon beast, right?" Jingyun silently prayed in her heart
Lin Feng frowned slightly, while the other three appeared somewhat awkward
"Indeed, what Senior Brother said is correct." Both Qingyi and Jingyun agreed, while the young man in white, Jingfeng, merely snorted coldly but did not say much more.
Haha, the bag is getting heavier, isn't it? We already have about thirty or forty beast cores, quite a good harvest. Han Man, who is strong, is in charge of carrying the bag, and feeling the increase in weight, he can't help but grin.
The figure in blue stepped forward, and the long sword on their back was drawn in an instant. The sword gleamed like moonlight, spilling forth like mercury cascading to the ground, swift as the wind and shadow, penetrating every nook and cranny
I will give it a try. Lin Feng took a step forward, facing an eighth-level demon beast, equivalent to a martial artist at the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm. He wanted to test just how powerful it was
Not far from Lin Feng, four figures appeared there, all of whom should be members of the Yunhai Sect
"I just don't know how skilled he is?" The burly young man grinned and smiled, not opposing it.
That's great, with five of us, as long as we don't encounter a ninth-level demon beast, we should be fine. The young girl appeared somewhat pleased to see Lin Feng agree. Among the four of them, the one with the highest cultivation was the taciturn young man in white, who was at the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm. The other three were all at the seventh level of the Qi Martial Realm. Lin Feng, being a disciple of the Yunhai Sect and of similar age to them, should also be at least at the seventh level of the Qi Martial Realm, or at least at the sixth level.
Heifeng Ridge features a complex terrain, filled with grass, thorns, and extremely dense trees, making it suitable for concealment; it is a paradise for demonic beasts
Lin Feng glanced at the few people standing in a row with him, feeling a warmth in his heart, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes
Ordinary demon beasts are divided into nine levels, corresponding to the nine realms of the Qi Martial Realm. Therefore, she believes that as long as they do not encounter a level nine demon beast or a powerful spiritual demon beast, they will not be in danger
Lin Feng nodded slightly. Throughout their journey, he understood that Han Man was straightforward, and there was no hint of sarcasm in what the other party said.
Level 8 Demon Beast, Violent Ape. Looking at the massive figure appearing ahead, Han Man murmured softly. The Violent Ape is frenzied in form, its strength surpassing that of tigers and leopards, making it one of the most formidable among demon beasts
"Hehe, Jingyun, why are you in such a hurry? It seems there is still someone here waiting to reap the benefits without lifting a finger. Do you really think you can get something for nothing?" Jingfeng glanced at Linfeng, his voice sharp.
"Lin Feng, at the edge of Black Wind Ridge, I fear that only the core disciples or the elders of the sect truly understand its vastness. We can only operate on the periphery and must not delve too deeply. Your strength is somewhat lacking, so stay close to us," reminded Han Man, who was of a robust build.
"Junior Brother Lin Feng, Jing Feng possesses exceptional talent, with a cultivation level of the Eighth Stage of Qi Martial Realm. It is only natural for him to be somewhat arrogant. Do not take offense; simply pretend you did not hear it. Our acquaintance is a form of fate, let us be together." The burly young man Han Man said with a sense of boldness.
"There is someone over there; let us invite him to join us. The more people, the more strength we have," said one of the young men in a blue shirt.
"Waste of time, Lin Feng." The young man in white, Jing Feng, spoke for the first time, casting a half-smile glance at Lin Feng and said, "Junior Sister Jing Yun, it seems we are wasting our time; having him along is definitely a burden."
With a soft snort, the long sword in the hands of the figure in green pierced into the brain of the wolf, swiftly ending the life of this fifth-level demon beast
"Count me in." The young woman made the same gesture.
Is there something going on? Lin Feng, having dressed, asked the four individuals approaching him
"No, an eighth-level demon beast is not something you can handle." Jingyun said anxiously, "Jingfeng, you are going too far."
Liu Fei. Lin Feng secretly memorized that face, then gathered some wood, used his soft sword to strike the stones to create a flame, and built a fire to dry the clothes
My name is Lin Feng," Lin Feng said with a smile
The Clear Wind Sword Technique indeed proves to be marvelous against the Clear Wind Wolf," Han Man said with a hearty laugh as he stepped forward to assist the young woman in collecting the prey, a Level 5 demon beast core
He merely stepped into a narrow space and turned away after just a glance, yet Liu Fei sought to kill him, even though they were both disciples of the same sect
After securing the beast core, the group continued their journey. They encountered demon beasts at regular intervals, but none of these beasts exceeded level 7, making them easy to deal with.
"Hmph, if you want to protect him, then do it yourselves. I have no intention of raising a useless person for nothing." Jing Feng snorted coldly and took a few steps back, while at that moment, the violent ape had already approached several people.
Hearing this, a cold glint flashed across Jing Feng's face as he looked at Jing Yun's graceful figure and gave an evil smile. If it weren't for your somewhat attractive appearance, I wouldn't be associating with this group of useless people.
"Underestimating one's own capabilities." The scene behind him was met with a cold laugh; the Level 8 Violent Ape was extremely irritable and immensely powerful, not something that a few practitioners at the seventh level of the Qi Martial Realm could handle
"Jingfeng, I am counting on you." Jingyun glanced at the young man in white beside her. An eighth-level demon beast should not be able to pose a threat to him, as Jingfeng was much stronger than they were.
Lin Feng secretly shook his head upon hearing this. It was merely an eighth-level martial cultivator, which, while superior to an ordinary martial cultivator, could hardly be considered a genius. Such arrogance, looking down on everything, only indicated limited achievements.
Jing Feng, since we have come together, we should advance and retreat as one. Lin Feng believes that we are together with us. Han Man also said unhappily.
It is important to note that Lin Feng practiced for seven days on the cliff, focusing solely on the sword-drawing technique. He utilized his dark martial soul to enhance his comprehension during his training, only retracting his martial soul when his mental state could no longer sustain it. During these brief intervals, he practiced the Flickering Shadow movement technique.
Lin Feng weakly said while touching his nose: "Perhaps I can handle this demon beast after all."
The other three had clearly also heard of Lin Feng's great name. There were too many outer disciples of the Yunhai Sect, and although they had not seen Lin Feng in person, they were still aware of his name
