#70 - Whoever you want to kill, kill him. - Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

“Roar!”

“Boom!”

On Mount Shunan, a magical beast with the head of a crocodile and resembling a wyvern roared unwillingly.

Before the magical beast could finish its roar, a little boy punched it on the head, burying its entire head in the mud.

[You defeated the Flying Crocodile Dragon, Strength +5, Blood Energy +7, Magical Beast Intimidation +2]

Xu Ming stood on the Flying Crocodile Dragon's head and straightened up, exhaling deeply.

On the other sides, Li Han, Xiong Hai Zhi, and Wu Yan Han had all crushed a magical beast.

In comparison, Guang Yin hid behind a tree, shivering non-stop.

“I say, Little Yin, can you tell me how you actually passed the selection? You didn't sell your ass to the examiner, did you?”

Li Han said speechlessly to Guang Yin.

Just now, the group encountered an attack from three magical beasts.

The Flying Crocodile Dragon pounced at Guang Yin, and Guang Yin was so scared that he collapsed to the ground, unable to move, completely dumbfounded.

It was Xu Ming who timely threw Guang Yin out, engaging in a fierce battle with the Flying Crocodile Dragon alone.

“I... I...” Guang Yin lowered his head, his cheeks flushed red.

In fact, Guang Yin also wanted to help, but every time he encountered such terrifying magical beasts, Guang Yin's body would not listen to him.

“Forget it, let's continue upwards. It's not like Guang Yin's been timid for just a day or two.” Xu Ming unfolded the map and glanced at it, “We're not far from the Thunderstorm Bear's lair.”

“Guang Yin, when the fight starts, find a place to hide. We might not be able to protect you.”

Xiong Hai Zhi also felt some resentment in his heart.

He's usually timid, so he's timid.

But at times like this, one less person means one less combat strength, and I have one more danger. Not to mention, Guang Yin like this might become a burden.

They had no way to leave Guang Yin alone here.

There are so many magical beasts on Mount Shunan; I'm afraid that by the time we return, Guang Yin would have already become magical beast dung.

“Alright, let's hurry up and go, and strive to return to Xinping County before sunset.”

Xu Ming interrupted Xiong Hai Zhi.

“What's the use of saying that now? Let's complete the task first.”

“Let's go.” Wu Yan Han reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, walking straight up the mountain, and the others followed.

The group observed the surrounding environment while cautiously moving upwards.

“Wait!”

While walking, Li Han suddenly whispered, reaching out to stop Xiong Hai Zhi.

“What's wrong?” Xiong Hai Zhi became vigilant.

“Buddy, take a step back.” Li Han said seriously.

Xiong Hai Zhi took a step back.

“Hehe he...” Li Han, like a pervert, squatted down and picked up a single coin from under Xiong Hai Zhi's feet, wiped it on his body, and put it into his money bag.

“You...” Xiong Hai Zhi was speechless for a moment, slapping the back of Li Han's head, “Do you know that your single coin scared me half to death?”

Li Han wasn't angry, just laughing cheerfully: “This is a single coin, you know.”

“Greed will be the death of you... Forget it.” Xiong Hai Zhi sighed.

What kind of teammates do I have?

One is as timid as a mouse.

One loves money as if it were his life.

I just don't understand.

The Blood Floating Pagoda's monthly salary is five times that of other armies in Wu, and they eat and live in the army, and the resources for martial arts training are also provided by the army. He shouldn't be short of money, right?

But this guy Li Han is usually stingy to the extreme, wishing he could split a copper coin into five petals. Before coming to Xinping County, this kid didn't even want the beef when eating a bowl of beef noodles, only wanting the noodles.

Xiong Hai Zhi couldn't figure out what he was saving so much money for.

“Everyone, concentrate. We're almost there.” Xu Ming reminded.

Hearing Xu Ming's words, Xiong Hai Zhi and Li Han quickly gathered their thoughts.

At noon, Xu Ming and the others had already arrived at the peach forest marked on the map.

If there were no accidents, there would be a cave five hundred meters away, and that Thunderstorm Bear lived in that cave.

As Xu Ming and the five approached, the smell of bear dung carried by the wind became stronger and stronger.

Magical beasts would excrete in their surrounding habitat to warn intruders.

Walking to the open space in front of the cave, the Thunderstorm Bear seemed to be sleeping, and huge snores came from the cave entrance.

Xu Ming smeared the Thunderstorm Bear's dung on his body.

Li Han and the others naturally understood Xu Ming's meaning and also learned from Xu Ming to smear the dung on their bodies.

After smearing it, everyone looked at Wu Yan Han, who was standing still in place.

Wu Yan Han's eyebrows twitched, looking very resistant.

“Brother Wu, don't be disgusted. Come on, we're all tough guys. We can just find a place to take a bath later. Look, even the sissy Little Yin has smeared it.” Li Han said.

“Are you saying that I'm not even as good as a sissy?” Wu Yan Han frowned.

“No, I didn't say that.” Li Han quickly took two steps back, afraid that the other party would punch him.

“Hmph.” Wu Yan Han snorted coldly. Although extremely unwilling, he still smeared the dung on his body.

“Let's go.” Xu Ming said, “Guang Yin, you stay at the cave entrance. Don't come in. If that bear wakes up, we can't protect you.”

“Ah? Okay...”

Although Guang Yin also wanted to go in and help, Guang Yin also knew that if he went in, he would only be a hindrance.

The four walked into the cave. The deeper they went, the louder the Thunderstorm Bear's snores became.

The cave was filled with the bones and remains of various animals and magical beasts. Xu Ming and the others even saw many human skulls.

Reaching the innermost part, a bear, roughly estimated to be five meters tall, was lying on the ground sleeping.

Xu Ming and the others looked at each other, nodded, took a deep breath, and leaped up, all using their greatest strength to punch the giant bear's head!

Even if it was a fourth-order magical beast, they were confident that they could kill it with one punch!

“Ahem, ahem, my little friends, this isn't very good.”

Just as the crowd was about to succeed, a voice came from under the giant bear.

Under the giant bear's fur, there was actually a man hidden?!

Thousand Cave Peak, Myriad Sword Sect.

Jiang Luo Yu, the Sect Master of the Myriad Sword Sect, passed through a curtain of water and entered a cave.

At the very bottom of the cave, a little girl sat cross-legged on a cold stone, motionless.

In front of the little girl, floated her natal flying sword that had already been unsheathed—Qing Ming.

“Xue Nuo.” Jiang Luo Yu called softly.

The girl sitting on the stone slowly opened her eyes: “Master.”

“Go to Xinping County.”

“Xinping County?”
