Ling Cao Zi Yue

  In the dangerous area of the Hanshui Mountains, there was a group of seven people wearing white clothes at this time.

  Seven people held the soul of the sword, with cold light flashing. Among them, a middle-aged man had a very robust figure, holding a silver knife that shone like snowflakes, his eyes scanning in all directions, revealing a deep and sinister intent.

  "Xu Liang, brother, how come we've been searching for half a day and still can't see any sign of that little brat Li Ke? Has he run to the central area?" The burly man holding the Snowflake Bright Silver Knife asked the golden-robed youth beside him.

  "Central Plains!" The golden-robed youth held a long knife with an orange glow, its blade shining brightly. On the back of the knife, dense horizontal stripes were visible, resembling a stream flowing down from the hilt. At the hilt, a corner protruded, where a ferocious tiger's head emerged, its mouth open as if swallowing the blade into its belly, its expression extremely fierce and menacing.

  This long knife is precisely the Guixi knife with the reputation of "I have a Guixi knife, let it go with the east wind".

  The young man in golden clothes was naturally Xu Liang, who had been chasing and killing Li Ke from the Double Blade Sect all the way to the Hanshui Mountains.

  "Li Ke only has the second-level cultivation of the Boundary of Two Powers, it's impossible for him to enter the central area alone. I think he might be around here somewhere. Everyone, expand the search range and look again! Once we find him, I'll take care of him!" Xu Liang's heart turned cold, and a flash of chilliness flickered across the surface of his Guixi sword.

  "Qi ē bīng hún néng zài duǎn duǎn jǐ tiān de shí guò jiù tū pò le yī zhòng, kàn lái tā xiū liàn de gōng fǎ yídìng yǒu wèntí! Shā tā zhī qián, yídìng dé dào!"

  Translation:

  "The seventh-rank soldier's soul was able to break through a level in just a few short days, it seems that the cultivation method he used must have had some problems! I must get it before killing him!"

  Xu Liang gazed into the distance at the depths of the Cold Spring Mountains, his heart coldly thinking.

  ……

  A dangerous area in the Hanspring Mountains where the border of the danger zone and the central zone meet.

  Here, ancient trees reach the sky, old vines entwined; in the distance, rocks are scattered everywhere, a black and bottomless mountain cave, in front of the cave, several purple crown jade plants, crystal clear and translucent, like several moons, shining with a faint glow.

  "Have you seen the purple spiritual grass in front of the cave? That's a first-class superior spiritual grass - Purple Moon, one plant is worth 50,000 taels of white silver!" A hundred meters away, a girl in a purple long dress whispered to a boy in a white robe beside her.

  The young man in white clothes looked at those few stalks of spiritual grass that resembled the moon and couldn't help but feel excited.

  First-order spiritual grass purple moon, the effect is very strong, can refine a first-class elixir purple moon pill, allowing the refining soldier boundary soldier way high hand power to directly increase by one level, and there are no side effects.

  Generally speaking, a first-class ten-year-old inferior spiritual grass is worth 5,000 taels of white silver, a medium-grade hundred-year-old one is worth 10,000 taels, a top-grade thousand-year-old one is worth 50,000 taels, and as for the extremely rare million-year-old ones, they are worth 100,000 taels of white silver.

  A first-class superior Purple Moon, a single one is worth 50,000 taels of white silver. This was something the young man in white couldn't even dream of. 50,000 taels of white silver is equivalent to the total value of an iron-grade top-tier metal beast. With the young man's current abilities, it would still be a bit difficult for him to kill an iron-grade top-tier metal beast.

  However, Ling Cao's strong attraction did not make the white-clothed youth lose his vigilance.

  The white-clothed youth stared at the black and bottomless mountain cave, asking the purple-robed girl beside him: "Qing Qing, do you know what level of metal beast is inside this cave?"

  The young man in white clothes was naturally Li Ke.

  The purple-robed girl's eyes lit up at the words, she hadn't expected that Li Ke could resist temptation and ask her the most crucial question when he was one step away from obtaining the Spirit Grass Purple Moon.

  She silently praised in her heart and said seriously: "It's a violent iron ape that is about to be promoted to the top of the iron rank!"

  "Frenzied Iron Ape!" As soon as Li Ke heard this name, his heart skipped a beat. The Frenzied Iron Ape could be said to be the most troublesome of all the iron-level metal beasts, even more so than the Red Iron War Bear. Especially once the Frenzied Iron Ape goes berserk, it's hard to imagine, and even if one were to encounter a Shape-Shifting Realm Master, they would still dare to fight it head-on.

  "We may not be a match for the Fierce Iron Ape!" Li Ke said straightforwardly after a moment of contemplation, the Lingcao Purple Moon was good and all, but one had to have their life to use it.

  The girl secretly added another point to Li Ke in her heart, and frankly speaking, this is enough to show that Li Ke is a meticulous person.

  "We may not be a match for the Frenzied Iron Ape, but we have two people!" Zhong Qing smiled slightly at Li Ke and explained: "This Frenzied Iron Ape is about to advance to the top rank of Metal Beast. If I use my zither sound to disturb it at this critical moment, it will surely become enraged and come after me. At that time, you can go pick the Lingcao Ziyue!"

  "This is too dangerous!" Li Ke thought for a moment, then directly denied: "This won't work, you use the sound of the qin to disturb the Crazy Iron Ape's promotion, the Crazy Iron Ape will definitely go crazy, and at that time you can't escape!"

  "I, Li Ke, cannot let a girl go on an adventure!"

  Li Ke said seriously to Zhong Qing, his eyes staring intently at her.

  Zhong Qing's heart skipped a beat as she listened to Li Ke's words, and her heart felt slightly sweet. Although Li Ke's words were somewhat domineering, for a young girl who had not experienced much of the world, they were very moving.

  "What should we do then?" Zhong Qing pouted and widened her eyes, looking at Li Ke and asking.

  Li Ke looked at the dark cave and fell into thought. After a moment, he said seriously: "I'll go!"

  Two simple words, when heard in a young girl's loving heart, feel like having a god of war guarding her for life, extremely sweet.

  "Is this okay?" Zhong Qing looked at Li Ke, his bright eyes flickering with worry.

  "Believe me! It's definitely possible!" As soon as the words fell, he transformed into a white shadow and quickly rushed out. In his hand, a bright red light flashed, which was a flying knife.

  "Red Seventh-Rank Flying Dagger Soul!" Zhong Qing stared at the soldier soul in Li Ke's hand, shocked. She hadn't expected Li Ke's soldier soul to be a mere seventh-rank soldier soul, but by this time Li Ke had already charged forward to the front of the cave.

  "Brush!"

  The flying knife shot out, a bright red light flashed by, like a stroke of brilliant sunlight, and directly rushed into the mountain cave.

  Clang!

  In the mountain cave, a loud sound of metal and stone colliding came, followed by a huge roar, "Hiss!" The sound of "Bang! Bang!" instantly came out of the mountain cave, the ground was shaking wildly, even the surrounding ancient trees were trembling.

  Pong!

  In the cave, a huge green shadow suddenly rushed out, extremely fast, and with just one blow, it directly smashed the stones on the mountain cave to fly everywhere.

  "Ahhh!" The massive green shadow let out a deafening roar, its eyes glowing bright red as it opened its enormous bloody maw, spewing saliva everywhere. Its icy cold and sinister teeth glinted with an eerie light that sent shivers down one's spine.

  "Bang!" The giant body suddenly arched, and with a single step of its massive right leg, the ground cracked open, revealing a one-meter long fissure that spread outwards.

  Li Ke had already made mental preparations, but the ferocity of the Violent Iron Ape still startled him. The Nine Dragon Transformation Technique was instantly activated, and a series of white shadows appeared, resembling white dragons that surrounded the Violent Iron Ape, moving chaotically in all directions.

  "What an excellent technique!"

  Her eyes lit up, and her impression of Li Ke suddenly rose a few points. Whether it was Li Ke's meticulous thoughts or the means he showed, they gave her a completely new feeling.

  "It will absolutely not be as simple as being an inner disciple of a fifth-rate sect!" Zhong Qing thought to himself, watching Li Ke skillfully lure the ferocious Iron Ape towards the central region of the Hanquan Mountains.

  With a flicker of her eyes, Zhong Qing was certain that there were no other dangers around, and the purple skirt fluttered continuously, her speed was so fast that it was hard to imagine, if Li Ke saw it, he would definitely be amazed.

  "Swish swish swish!"

  She grasped three stalks of Lingcao Ziyue and chose another direction, quickly leaving.

  This was Li Ke's idea, as a seven-foot-tall man, how could he let a woman take risks, so he took action himself, wanting to use the dangerous aura of the central area of Hanshui Mountains to intimidate the violent iron gibbon.

  Iron-level top-tier metal beast can be compared to a nine-layer high-handed refining soldier, even if Li Ke and Zhong Qing join hands, they are not its opponent, but they did not plan to confront the violent iron ape head-on, instead choosing to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

  Looking back at the central area of the Hanshui Mountains, where even the masters of Huaxing Jingzong dare not easily set foot, Li Ke rushed in without hesitation, without even frowning.

  "His future is boundless!"

  In her heart, she thought wistfully.
