Ning Cheng had just left the gate when he encountered a group of Iron Ridge Thunder Leopards. The highest level of this group of Iron Ridge Thunder Leopards was level five, with more being level three and four.
When the group of Iron Ridge Thunder Leopards saw Ning Cheng, they immediately swarmed on him, and the Grey Dodo on Ning Cheng’s shoulder could only grimace and babble, but to no avail.
Ning Cheng did not care, he could even kill twenty to thirty XuanDan cultivators, there were only two level five thunder leopards here and more level three and four thunder leopards, what did he have to worry about? He unhurriedly brought out his Xuan Xuan spear and swept out the Xuan ice spear awnings. Thirty-six Xuan Ice Gun Mangles, Ning Cheng was now able to fully execute them.
The dense Xuan Ice Gun Awnings were countless times stronger than they were back then. These Iron Ridge Thunder Leopards’ lightning arcs had just been sent out and were blocked by the net of Xuan Ice Gun Awnings.
With a crackling explosion, these Xuan Ice Gun Mangles broke through the dense lightning arcs of the Thunder Leopards, killing some low-level Thunder Leopards in a messy manner. The outer skin of these Iron Ridge Thunder Leopards was simply too thick and Ning Cheng’s Xuan Ice Gun Mantles did not have much effect on the rest of the Thunder Leopards, apart from blasting over a small number of Grade 3 Thunder Leopards.
Even so, these Iron Ridge Thunder Leopards knew that Ning Cheng was not to be messed with, and with a hiss, the leading Level 5 Thunder Leopard turned around and withdrew with the rest of the Thunder Leopards, quickly disappearing into the boundless wilderness.
Ning Cheng did not chase after them, the Thunder Leopards were incredibly swift and once they scattered and fled, there was no point for him to chase them. What’s more, there were enough materials for the Iron Ridge Thunder Leopard inside his storage ring.
After walking for the next two days, even Ning Cheng did not dare to fly in this area. Not only were there more demonic beasts in the second section of this Rule Road, but they were also becoming more and more powerful. Apart from the demon beasts, this second section also had many dangerous places where one could get caught if they were not careful. Ning Cheng had almost been swirled into the swamp whirlpool several times, and if he didn’t have the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings, he might have been trapped.
After experiencing this for several days, Ning Cheng had finally concluded a pattern. The second section of the Rule Road had an extremely uneven distribution of spiritual energy, so when walking, one should try to walk along places where there was a lack of spiritual energy. There were very few demonic beasts in such places, and there were not many dangerous forbidden places. Even if there were, most of them were not considered fatal.
But while it is safe to walk from a place where there is a lack of spiritual energy, there is one drawback: there are no good things. Whether it is spiritual herbs. Or precious materials are not to be seen in these places.
If you want good things, you have to look for places where the spiritual energy is dense, and the denser the spiritual energy, the more good things you can get. And of course, the more danger there is.
Regarding some of the conditions inside the Rule Road, Ning Cheng estimated that he was the one who knew the least among all the people who had entered. However, even if he knew the least, he was still clear that if he kept walking along the safe area where there was a lack of spiritual energy. Even if he walked like this for the rest of his life, he probably wouldn’t be able to walk the second section of the Rule Road. Not to mention going in search of any Spirit Cleansing True Dew.
Since he had entered the Rule Road, he would have to search for the chance that belonged to him. Ning Cheng began to specifically look for places with dense spiritual energy, these places did have many dangers, but Ning Cheng had escaped from the herd of demonic beasts several times thanks to his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings.
Because of this, too. Ning Cheng had obtained many good things. The best was that he had obtained a dozen or so Raw Xuan Fruits, which was one of the Spiritual Grasses he wanted the most right now. The Raw Xuan Fruits were rank five spirit herbs, the main material for refining the Raw Xuan Pill. The Raw Xuan Pill was an elixir used by Xuan Liquid cultivators and Xuan Yuan cultivators to restore their true essence, and belonged to the fifth grade of Xuan Pills.
To Ning Cheng, this kind of pills was very important, back when he had dealt with that group of Xuan Dan cultivators, if he had the Raw Xuan Pill. He definitely wouldn’t have been injured so badly.
Thus, Ning Cheng searched all the way by adopting a guerrilla warfare approach, retreating when he encountered dangerous places, and advancing when he encountered places where he could snatch spirit items. The most dangerous time for Ning Cheng on this journey was when he was almost caught in a spatial wind blade belt. His Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings were useless in such a spatial wind blade belt.
After this experience, Ning Cheng became more and more careful, and if something was not very precious, he usually did not go to risk it.
But now. Ning Cheng was staring at a piece of spiritual grass in the distance, unwilling to leave.
It was a piece of spirit grass that was not of a very high grade, a mere grade four Silver Lingering Flower. Although the Silver Ling Flower was only a rank four spirit grass, it was one of the most precious spirit grasses for Xuan Liquid cultivators, and it was also the top thing among all rank four spirit grasses. This spirit herb can be used to make the Yin Ling Dan, which is the best elixir for late Xuan Liquid cultivators. Don’t look at the fact that the Yun Ling Dan is also a rank four elixir, but it is more than a few times stronger than the Yun Yuan Dan in terms of grade.
Not to mention the fact that this was a wild Yin Ling flower, the effect was even less than that of the Yin Ling flowers that the cultivators had planted themselves.
What depressed Ning Cheng was that the silver ling flower was growing in the middle of a swirling swamp. Furthermore, next to this silver ling flower, there were two peak rank five one-horned mammoth demons. These two one-horned mammoth demons, one large and one small, were both staring at Ning Cheng, very wary.
Ning Cheng was puzzled as to why two peak level five demon beasts were guarding these silver ling flowers which were not of much use to them.
However, no matter how difficult it was to obtain this piece of silver ling flowers, Ning Cheng did not want to give up. He was sure that if he obtained a few Silver Ling flowers and refined them into a Yin Ling Pill, then he would definitely be able to raise his cultivation level to Xuan Liquid Perfection.
Moreover, with so many Silver Ling Ling flowers, even if he could not use up all the Yin Ling Pills he had refined, he could still sell them in large quantities.
Ning Cheng took out his Tai Void True Demon Axe, he decided to take a risk and give it a try. The two one-horned mammoth demons were staring at him, and did not rush out. Apparently, as long as Ning Cheng did not offend their territory, they would not take the initiative to attack Ning Cheng either. In this section of the world, this kind of demon beast that did not actively attack its opponents was considered relatively gentle.
The lure of the Silver Ling Flower still made Ning Cheng move over carefully, and as he got closer to the place where the Silver Ling Flower was growing, the suction in the swamp became stronger and stronger. Ning Cheng was even more puzzled as to why these two one-horned mammoth demons were not affected by the suction of this swamp vortex?
Seeing that Ning Cheng was still approaching their side, a grey one-horned mammoth demon that was even taller let out a hiss, seemingly threatening Ning Cheng.
When it saw that Ning Cheng was not threatened, it actually lunged out of the place where it was originally standing and rushed towards Ning Cheng. The True Demon Axe in Ning Cheng’s hand directly brought up a swirl of axe patterns and blasted at this One-Horned Mammoth Demon. He still had some leeway, these two One-Horned Mammoth Demons still looked relatively gentle, Ning Cheng did not intend to kill these two One-Horned Mammoth Demons. After all, this was something that he had grabbed from the demon beasts.
On Earth beasts did not have any spiritual intelligence, but in this place, demonic beasts that had reached the fifth level were all opened to some spiritual intelligence. Ning Cheng did not treat these two One Horned Mammoth Demons as beasts that did not understand anything, his idea was to grab some Silver Ling Flowers and leave immediately.
Even though Ning Cheng did not have the full strength of this vortex of axe intent, even a late XuanDan cultivator would not dare to casually underestimate it. What Ning Cheng did not expect was that the one-horned mammoth demon that pounced on him not only did not evade, but instead used its one-horn to blast directly on top of Ning Cheng’s axe intent vortex.
A powerful backlash came from it, and Ning Cheng felt a tightness in his chest, he immediately knew that it was not good, the power of this peak rank five One-Horned Mammoth Demon far exceeded his prediction.
“Boom” The power of the One Horned Mammoth Demon’s demonic energy blasted onto Ning Cheng’s Axe Intent Vortex, directly shattering it, and Ning Cheng was also carried away by this power.
A powerful suction force came from the swamp, causing Ning Cheng to become more and more depressed, why was it that he could feel this suction force and that One Horned Mammoth Demon was not affected in the slightest?
Ning Cheng desperately stirred his Heavenly Cloud wings, even if he was powerful, he absolutely could not fall into the swamp. Once he was swept away by this swamp vortex, it would be a thousand times harder to get out again.
The power of the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings was unmistakable at this moment, as Ning Cheng forcibly broke away from the suction of the swamp. Immediately, he saw that his position was not very far from the silver ling flower, and was overjoyed. At this moment, the other one-horned mammoth demon that was guarding the silver ling flower seemed to be a little afraid of him, and its eyes cowered. Ning Cheng did not even hesitate and directly swung his Heavenly Cloud wings towards the silver ling flower.
Before he could reach the silver ling flower, his hand had already grabbed it. He decided to grab as much as he could, facing such two one-horned mammoth demons and being on top of the swirling swamp, it was too difficult to defeat them to obtain the silver ling flower. According to the distance between him and the second small one-horned mammoth demon now, Ning Cheng calculated that after he grabbed the silver ling flower, it would be too late for that one-horned mammoth demon to attack.
“Boom, click ……” At the same time when Ning Cheng’s hand had just grabbed the Silver Ling Flower, the other One-Horned Mammoth Demon, which was still cowering, rushed towards Ning Cheng as if it had gone crazy, and similarly blasted Ning Cheng’s back with a horn. Ning Cheng was blasted away like a shooting star and was instantly injured.
If he were to do it again, Ning Cheng would definitely not do so. He had not expected that this small one-horned mammoth demon would be more than five or six times faster than the big one. He had calculated that the small one-horned mammoth demon would not be able to sneak attack him from this distance, but he had not calculated that this small one-horned mammoth demon would be so fast. Almost as soon as he launched his sneak attack, he had already scored a hit.
A powerful swamp vortex of suction came from him, and Ning Cheng frantically stirred his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings before he could barely break away from this swamp vortex and dash out. If he did not have the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings, with this sudden change of events, Ning Cheng would have definitely been sucked away by the swamp vortex himself.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ning Cheng, who felt bones breaking in his back, was already wondering in his heart if that little one-horned mammoth demon’s cowering eyes from before was a pretence. Otherwise, that kind of sneak attack speed, that kind of sneak attack timing, was simply indescribable.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Ning Cheng wouldn’t have believed that a one-horned mammoth demon could be so fast.
After Ning Cheng was injured, he hurriedly fled, fortunately, those two One-Horned Mammoth Demons were not good fighters and did not continue to chase after Ning Cheng when they saw that the Silver Ling Flower that Ning Cheng had stolen was not much.
