67 Monster Pig (Seeking Recommendation Votes)

  Dark sunset on the prairie.

  A big Han with the surname Wang and a young silent man fled in disarray from the temporary camp, both of them carrying some injuries, walking aimlessly on the wilderness with dejected expressions.

  "I don't know what's going on with Zheng right now."

  "That Ye Chen is a second-layer cultivator in the Refining Qi stage, enough to deal with Zheng Old Brother."

  "It's hard to find people in this vast wilderness at sunset, let's head back to Xiancheng and wait for Zheng Xiaodie first! If he still hasn't returned after a month, it would be a bad omen. At that time, I'll send word to his master Zheng Yuan, telling him about the fall of Zheng Zicheng!"

  The great Han with the surname Wang spoke each sentence with a worried expression, full of self-reproach.

  "Brother Wang, you've done your best, no need to worry too much. That Zheng Zicheng is just a small scattered cultivator from the distant Wu Kingdom, do we have to sacrifice ourselves for him?! This time helping him out is already a favor because of our senior-junior relationship. If it weren't for him spending dozens of spirit stones to invite me, I wouldn't even bother wasting my time to help him find his enemies."

  That silent young man said coldly.

  Ye Chen gathered up the spoils of war and left the Boar Woods, dashing swiftly towards the temporary camp.

  In fact, before leaving Xian City, Ye Chen had already thought of using other cultivators to deal with Zheng Zicheng. This time killing Zheng Zicheng, Yun Xin, Zhao An, Zhou Qing and others helped a lot, no matter what, they must be thanked.

  Moreover, he also had to explain to everyone the reason for this intense battle.

  They cannot even make a statement without relying on their power.

  It wasn't long before the sky gradually brightened up.

  Ye Chen returned to the camp, and Yun Xin and a group of cultivators who had been searching for him in the surrounding wilderness since dawn were overjoyed to see him return safely, and they all gathered around.

  "Brother Ye, who were those three cultivators yesterday?" "Is the one-armed cultivator dead?" "What deep grudge do you have against him that you started killing each other as soon as you met?"

  Everyone asked anxiously.

  "That Broken Arm Cultivator, he and I are cultivators from the same country, with some grudges. Most importantly, his master Zheng Yuan is a Golden Cauldron Sect cultivator, at the 8th layer of Qi Refining stage. As for the other two fellow practitioners, they might be his accomplices."

  Ye Chen explained his feud with Zheng Zicheng very simply and clearly.

  "Eight layers of Qi refinement! You killed his disciple, you're doomed! He will definitely try every means to kill you! A Xianmen cultivator, if he has made up his mind to kill you, it's very hard for others to stop him."

  The monks were shocked and lost their color, looking at each other in dismay.

  For a first-layer Qi Refining cultivator, an eighth-layer Qi Refining cultivator is a powerful cultivator worthy of their admiration and awe, one who can annihilate them with just one hand. Perhaps they wouldn't mind killing a first-layer Qi Refining Zheng Zicheng, but they couldn't afford to disregard Zheng Yuan's revenge.

  Ye Chen saw the drastic change in everyone's expressions and naturally understood their concerns and fears, "I'll take responsibility for this matter alone, I won't implicate any of you!"

  "There is only one way to stop Zheng Yuan from taking revenge on you."

  Yun Xin's expression turned solemn, and he said cautiously, "That is to say, you must quickly cultivate to the fourth layer of Qi Refining or above, rush into the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and join one of the nine major immortal sects. With the identity of a sect disciple, Zheng Yuan will not dare to recklessly pursue and kill you! At least on the surface, he won't dare to lay hands on you! By entering one of the nine major immortal sects, you'll have more ample time to cultivate until the later stages of Qi Refining. Only then can you truly ensure your safety, and even if Zheng Yuan wants to kill you, he won't be able to!"

  "This is a way."

  Ye Chen thought for a moment, nodded, "However, it will take some time to cultivate to the fourth layer of Qi Refining stage." He suddenly thought of a question, "Right, Zheng Zhicheng's two accomplices, are they dead?"

  "They saw you and the one-armed monk leave one after another, then they broke out of the encirclement and left. These two have considerable strength in the second layer of Qi refining period, we couldn't keep them here, nor did we dare to chase and kill them in the dark!"

  Yun Xin shook her head.

  Ye Chen's mood was somewhat heavy, "In that case, the news of Zheng Zhicheng's death should reach Zhengyuan soon. Wu Xiaogongzhu went to Jindianmen to seek help from Xianmen Wushi, and Zhengyuan, this traitor of the Wu State, will probably have trouble. Once Zhengyuan has time, he will pursue and kill."

  "Never mind all that! What's meant to come will come! The most important thing is to cultivate with all one's might. There's still hope of reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining in the shortest time possible."

  Ye Chen took a deep breath and psyched himself up.

  "The strength of the demon mouse and demon snake on the sunset grassland is already too weak, I will go to the Boar Forest to find the Demon Boar for cultivation!"

  Ye Chen said. He saw the strength of the demon warthog last night. That adult demon warthog, a powerful and ferocious earth arrow, pierced Zheng Zicheng's damaged spirit armor, such strength is not comparable to the weak demons in the Sunset Prairie.

  "We, a group of people, left Xian City this time to hunt and kill demonic beasts. At first, we thought of going to the Boar Forest to earn spirit stones. With dozens of Qi Refining stage one and two cultivators working together, dealing with a demonic boar should have some assurance."

  Yun Xin thought for a moment and agreed, "Let's go take a look. If it doesn't work out, we can always return to Luoriting Yuan Ye."

  "Go to the Boar Forest and take a look! Killing a head of demonic boar can earn you spirit stones that are far more than what you'd get from killing low-level demonic rats."

  The monks in the squad were excited.

  In the morning, Yun Xin, Wu Rong and Yuan Hong's three teams of cultivators, dozens of Qi Refining stage one and two cultivators gathered together, passing through the sunset grassland, arrived at the edge of a boar forest.

  Wu Rong rode on the high flames of the Ling Horse, occasionally turning his head to look at Ye Chen's gaze, with a complex mood that couldn't be expressed, and his eyelids kept jumping. "This guy is an unremarkable loose cultivator, how did he reach the second layer of Qi Refining?! I've already had an irreconcilable conflict with Yuan Hong, and now another troublesome guy pops up! Must find an opportunity to teach him a lesson and let him behave."

  Yuan Hong's face was gloomy, and his mood wasn't much better than Wu Rong's.

  A civilian cultivator appeared among the team, rivaling those aristocratic families' juniors. The feeling was as if they had suffered a great insult.

  The monks arrived at Hog's Hollow and stopped.

  "The situation inside the porcupine forest is complicated, I'll go in and scout ahead, you guys wait outside!"

  Yuan Hong said, got off his horse and rushed into the boar forest alone.

  "Hurry, there's a ferocious wild boar, kill it!"

  Not long after, Yuan Hong rushed out of the Boar Forest with a slightly flustered expression, and a full-grown brown boar chased after him from behind, making loud grunting noises as it emerged from the forest.

  "Kill!"

  "Let's go up together!"

  A group of monks who had been waiting anxiously outside, suddenly let out a loud roar, each holding a spiritual knife or sword, and casting their spells towards the fierce demonic boar.

  The strength of the demonic boar was enough to match a cultivator at the third layer of Qi Refining.

  It is extremely ferocious and violent, and spells are very difficult to hit it. Even if you can hit it, its thick skin and rough flesh will not be seriously injured by a fireball, but instead, it will be enraged. The most dangerous thing is that its earth arrow has a very long range, at least much farther than these first-level cultivators.

  The fierce boar was struck by a sudden spell, and it instantly became enraged, not chasing Wu Rong, but instead crazily charging towards the crowd of cultivators. "Whoosh", a yellow vicious earth arrow shot out wildly towards the crowd of cultivators.

  "Hmph!"

  A monk in the crowd was stabbed by a poisoned arrow and let out a blood-curdling scream, splashing out a handful of fresh blood.

  "Be careful!"

  "Quick retreat!"

  A fierce boar rushed into the crowd of monks, extremely ferocious, and no one could stop it.

  The monks were suddenly in a state of great disorder, hastily pulling the injured monk and fleeing wildly towards the setting sun on the plain, with spells chasing after them and the fierce boar-like monsters making a loud noise.

  Ye Chen, amidst the chaotic crowd of cultivators, saw this chaotic scene and was also helpless. He had wanted to release a fireball, but the scene was too chaotic, and it was unlikely that he could hit the demonic boar, and instead, it would be very easy to hurt other cultivators. He could only give up on taking action and had no choice but to follow the crowd in their frantic run.

  Half an hour later.

  Far away from the Boar Forest, the frightened and fleeing Qi Refining stage cultivators finally regrouped on the grassland, still looking like they had just escaped a great calamity. There were four or five injured cultivators, some lightly wounded and others severely hurt. If they hadn't run fast enough, someone might have lost their life in the Boar Forest.

  "Too many people doesn't help!"

  "With more people, it's even more chaotic; instead of killing the wild boar, you're more likely to hurt your own people."

  Many low-ranking cultivators hung their heads in despair.

  "Are we going to kill the demonic boar?"

  Yun Xin sighed.

  "Kill!"

  Wu Rong said ruthlessly.

  "We two stay behind, you go to Luoshen Yuan!"

  Yuan Hongchao gave Wu Rong a hostile glance, unwilling to leave just like that.

  "I'm staying too!"

  Ye Chen thought for a moment and said.

  After a discussion among the crowd, Wu Rong, Yuan Hong and Ye Chen, three strong Qi Refining Second Layer cultivators, stayed behind to continue thinking of ways to deal with the demonic boar.

  The other Qi-refining first-layer disciples followed Yun Xin and retreated to the relatively safer Sunset Prairie, several miles away from the Boar Forest, to deal with those lower-ranking demonic mice and snakes. Although the hides and venom of the demonic mice and snakes were not very valuable, it was much safer.
