Chapter 38

Lying on a lush tree, Lin Zheng carefully dealt with the traces around him, then sprinkled some powder, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the wounds on his body, Lin Zheng couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

The story has to start a few days ago, by the swamp.

While in the air, Lin Zheng noticed the changes in the giant crocodile, but it was too late to retreat. He performed a mid-air flip, passing over the giant crocodile's head and landing lightly on its back before drifting towards the land. How dare the food in its mouth resist? The giant crocodile immediately lashed out with its tail, the massive tail whistling through the air and rushing towards Lin Zheng!

In mid-air, Lin Zheng quickly mobilized the spiritual energy within his body. His right hand burst into action, and the spiritual energy, after being accelerated through the small nodes in his golden meridians, was accompanied by a faint thunderclap as he punched!

With a bang, Lin Zheng left a deep fist mark on the giant crocodile's hard shell, and he was also violently thrown away by a strange force!

In pain, the giant crocodile quickly turned and crawled towards Lin Zheng. Bang, bang, bang, Lin Zheng continuously clashed with the giant crocodile, but neither side gained any advantage. However, this attracted more giant crocodiles, making Lin Zheng's scalp tingle. If he were hit by several giant crocodile tails, the sheer force of the tail strikes alone could severely injure him, let alone the giant crocodile's sharp teeth!

Biting his teeth, Lin Zheng jumped onto the giant crocodile's back. His hands transformed into palms, and he secretly activated his divine skill, turning his hands as white as jade. Then, Lin Zheng fiercely plunged his hands into the sides of the giant crocodile's neck. Pfft, pfft, two streams of blood splattered!

The giant crocodile thrashed violently, and Lin Zheng pressed it down with a thousand pounds of force. He twisted his hands and then brought them together! Pfft, half of the giant crocodile's neck was torn open, and the blood gushed out like a spring, drenching Lin Zheng. He reached into the dead giant crocodile's head, pulled out a brown crystal, and placed it in his pocket. Then, he swiftly darted away among the crowd of giant crocodiles!

At this point, Lin Zheng's spiritual energy was more than half depleted, and his physical strength had also declined. The areas where he was hit by the giant crocodile's tail burned with pain. Lin Zheng ran and jumped through the swamp, then plunged into the dense forest!

After escaping the giant crocodile's swamp, Lin Zheng found a place to stop. He quickly activated the family-secret cultivation technique, absorbing spiritual energy into his body to gradually restore his depleted spiritual energy. The gentle spiritual energy continuously repaired his damaged muscles and gradually flushed out the blood clots!

While Lin Zheng was continuously repairing his internal injuries and restoring his strength, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, his hair standing on end as if he had fallen into a cold cave! A whistling wind came from behind, and Lin Zheng, unable to dodge, forcibly interrupted his cultivation and fell to one side!

Pfft, three bloody marks appeared on Lin Zheng's chest, and the blood quickly stained his clothes. Ignoring the wound on his chest, Lin Zheng quickly got up, clenched his fists, and took a bow stance, his eyes tightly fixed on the wild beast in front of him.

A wind-toothed tiger, as large as an adult cow, was staring intently at Lin Zheng, its paws extended, its bones bulging, ready to pounce. A faint vortex rotated around the wind-toothed tiger, and a fierce and agile aura rushed towards Lin Zheng.

Tiger roar in the mountain forest! Wind-toothed tiger! Lin Zheng's eyes narrowed. A fifth-rank adult wild beast, the wind-toothed tiger! It was extremely fast, far above the golden leopard in the food chain. The most obvious sign of an adult wind-toothed tiger was the faint vortex around it. Fifth-rank wild beasts already knew how to use spiritual energy, not just relying on their instincts to attack enemies, but also using innate abilities!

Lin Zheng stared at the wind-toothed tiger, which was far more dangerous than the giant crocodile. He had to strike first! If he waited for the wind-toothed tiger to start moving quickly, it would have a significant advantage in the forest, and his chances of escaping would be very small! Fortunately, in this not-so-spacious area, the wind-toothed tiger couldn't fully utilize its innate abilities!

Lin Zheng's feet pushed off, and he charged at the wind-toothed tiger like a cannonball. Close combat! Close combat! Only in this way could he have a chance to resist the wind-toothed tiger!

Soon, man and tiger were entangled. Lin Zheng adopted a tenacious stance, sticking to the wind-toothed tiger as soon as it tried to dodge, engaging in a hard fight, claw for claw, punch for punch!

The wind-toothed tiger's frustration was unimaginable. Although its close combat was also extremely strong, it had no room to fully utilize its advantages. Due to its strength, the wind-toothed tiger couldn't speak, and could only roar to vent its dissatisfaction! Damn it! I must tear this human to pieces!

Eight Steps Chasing the Moon!

Immersed in the thrill of battle, Lin Zheng completely suppressed the wind-toothed tiger, which was a rank higher than him. His body gradually came to life, and his movements and martial sense began to merge! Eight Steps Chasing the Moon! Invincible within eight steps in close combat! Lin Zheng's body became more and more agile, and the previously cumbersome innate abilities were instantly unleashed!

Bang, bang, bang, Lin Zheng's fists pounded the wind-toothed tiger's body fiercely, and the wind-toothed tiger was even more frustrated! Originally, one claw for one punch, now three punches for one claw, this wasn't fair!

Roar, roar, roar!!!

The vortex around the wind-toothed tiger began to spin faster, and its body shot out. Lin Zheng's body suddenly turned, and he delivered a powerful punch to the side.

Bang! Crack! Pop!

Three different sounds echoed. Lin Zheng instinctively punched the wind-toothed tiger's eye socket as it was about to dart past, the fierce punch directly shattering the wind-toothed tiger's left eye!

Aaah!!!

A mournful roar echoed, and the wind-toothed tiger's trembling body began to grow larger, the vortex slowly merging into its body. In an instant, the wind-toothed tiger's body grew by more than half! Its injured left eye was terrifying, and a fierce aura rushed towards Lin Zheng!

The wind-toothed tiger had broken through under Lin Zheng's pressure! Sixth-rank! Sixth-rank wild beasts could mobilize spiritual energy to quickly recover their strength! This meant the wind-toothed tiger could continuously fight Lin Zheng without any concerns, and the ability to recover during battle was terrifying! This was the innate ability of the wind-toothed tiger after advancing, and both its physical strength and innate abilities would greatly increase!

Without hesitation, Lin Zheng turned and quickly disappeared into the forest. The wind-toothed tiger, having just advanced and being injured, paused for a moment, and then saw the hateful human quickly disappear into the forest!

Roar, roar!!!

You can't escape! No one can escape the wind-toothed tiger's pursuit! The wind-toothed tiger roared, and its body flashed, disappearing like lightning as it chased after Lin Zheng!

While running, Lin Zheng continuously took various pills and swallowed them. A high-grade spirit stone appeared in his hand, and he gritted his teeth, instantly absorbing all the spiritual energy from the high-grade spirit stone into his body. Then another high-grade spirit stone appeared, followed by a third, fourth, and fifth.

Such a rapid absorption rate made Lin Zheng feel overwhelmed!

The absorption of five high-grade spirit stones made Lin Zheng's face flush. The violent spiritual energy continuously tore through his body, and he couldn't even activate his family-secret cultivation technique. Lin Zheng could only rely on his meridians to absorb the violent spiritual energy. He felt intense pain in his meridians, but his spiritual energy was instantly restored. The pills slowly dissolved, and although the pain made Lin Zheng sweat profusely, his body was filled with strength. He needed to escape the wind-toothed tiger's pursuit to rest and recover!

Soon, Lin Zheng found a cave, which was very hidden. After a simple treatment, he hid inside. As soon as he sat down, his internal injuries flared up. The wounds that he hadn't felt before suddenly burst into pain, and he felt as if he were being cut by a red-hot knife inside and out!

Lin Zheng struggled to activate his cultivation technique, mobilizing a thread of spiritual energy to start the recovery process. Gradually, the flush on his face faded, and the bleeding from his wounds stopped. Lin Zheng took several pills he had prepared before leaving the village and swallowed them, then quickly resumed his cultivation. After a long time, Lin Zheng slowly opened his eyes. His internal injuries were gradually under control, and fortunately, he hadn't suffered any major damage, though the wounds on his body looked terrifying!

Lin Zheng took some medicinal supplies from the spatial ring he had obtained from Lin Chu, bandaged his wounds, and changed into clean clothes before preparing to leave the cave! The tracking ability of a sixth-rank wind-toothed tiger was undoubtedly excellent, and this was its territory. Playing hide-and-seek with the native wild beasts in the forest was asking for death!

Lin Zheng carefully checked the surroundings to ensure there was no sign of the wind-toothed tiger before leaving the cave. He looked at a distant mountain peak, carefully considered, and then ran towards it!

On a small flat area, Lin Zheng continuously ran. In the distance, there seemed to be a variety of flowers in bloom, and a colorful floral skirt lay on this small flat area. However, before Lin Zheng could run far, a pungent smell rushed towards him. His eyelids twitched, and he instantly jumped to a distant boulder, then flashed to an open area.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

After the sound, the place where he had just stood was corroded by a liquid. The boulder he had just stood on was corroded with a large hole, and it continued to corrode!

Lin Zheng took a detoxifying pill and held it in his mouth, holding his breath, and watched a colorful giant python slowly crawl out of the grass.

A sixth-rank wild beast, the floral python!

Lin Zheng couldn't even draw a breath, his heart racing. The floral python's colors were brilliant, like a hundred flowers blooming on its body. When it moved through the forest and grass, it looked like a moving floral garden. However, such a beautiful wild beast was highly toxic, and its beauty attracted countless animals, which were then swallowed by the floral python!

Lin Zheng's eyelids twitched. Fighting the floral python on this open flat area was extremely disadvantageous. He secretly pondered a strategy, while the floral python stared at him with its large eyes, occasionally hissing and flicking its tongue!

Fight or not? Lin Zheng, who had recovered about 70-80% of his strength, began to think. What was the purpose of coming to the Ten Thousand Mountains? Was it to always retreat? Was it to run away from high-rank wild beasts?

Strength! Strength! Lin Zheng's eyes gradually focused, his pupils filled with madness and a fierce fighting spirit!

This time! Rather die than retreat!
