Chapter 31

Three hundred warhorses galloped across the desolate hills, causing the ground to tremble. The snow and wind had stopped for some time, but the snow had not melted. Fortunately, the snow on the road was not thick, and frequent trampling made it passable.

After just two hours of galloping, Lu Li had completely mastered the warhorse under him. He had been watching the Li family warriors ahead, learning the techniques of horse riding as he went.

Riding a horse cannot be done with brute force; it must be done with agility. Not only must the horse adapt to the rider, but the rider must also adapt to the horse. This way, the horse will not tire as easily and will recognize its new master.

At noon, the large group stopped to rest beside a black forest. The Li family warriors each started fires to roast meat. Lu Li was not familiar with these Li family warriors, and no one paid him any attention. He could only sit under a tree and eat the dried meat that Lu Ling had given him as a backup.

In the distance, Liu Yi was surrounded by a group of people, like a star among the stars. She glanced over here but did not invite him to join them for a meal. Lu Li did not seek out trouble for himself and sat alone, eating dried meat while listening to the warriors chatting nearby.

"This time, those major families have really caused us a lot of trouble..."

"Yeah, yeah, they wanted to obtain the royal beast's origin blood, and it led to our misfortune. My third brother was killed in the Cold Cloud Mountain!"

"The royal beast is even more powerful than a human emperor. Although this royal beast has just given birth and is near the end of its life, its strength is still terrifying. I bet many people from those major families have died too. They haven't been able to kill the royal beast for so long..."

"I wonder when this beast tide will be suppressed? If we keep fighting, the foundations of the Wu Ling City families will be completely destroyed!"

"..."

After listening for a while, Lu Li gathered a lot of information from the low chatter of the Li family warriors and understood the reason for the beast tide.

According to the warriors, a royal beast in the Ice Abyss was about to die of old age but had given birth to offspring, severely depleting its energy.

When the super families learned of this news, they all rushed over, hoping to obtain the royal beast's origin blood and precious inner core materials.

However, they underestimated the royal beast's strength and were repeatedly repelled, suffering heavy losses. Enraged, the royal beast commanded countless mystic beasts to attack, triggering the beast tide.

Although many powerful warriors from the super families came, how could they possibly contain so many mystic beasts? Therefore, it fell to the large and small families of Wu Ling City. All the families in Wu Ling City were mobilized, along with the adult males from various tribes, forming several lines of defense in the Cold Cloud Mountain to resist the beast tide.

"Royal beast..."

Lu Li sighed deeply. This royal beast was a seventh-grade mystic beast, and a single attack could probably destroy Wu Ling City. The battle between the super family's powerful warriors and the royal beast must have been a spectacular and terrifying scene.

...

After resting for half an hour, the large group set off again, this time galloping until dusk before stopping.

A massive mountain range loomed ahead like a natural barrier. From the Li family warriors, Lu Li learned that this was the Cold Cloud Mountain. Beyond the Cold Cloud Mountain was the territory of the Ice Abyss.

Da da da!

Several silver wolves galloped over from a distance, conversing with Liu Yi. Liu Yi waved her hand and said, "To the Cold Cloud Canyon. Our mission this time is to hold the canyon for half a month."

Liu Yi led the large group along a winding mountain path. As the sky grew completely dark, the group arrived at the entrance of a canyon. There were many tents and several Li family warriors here.

The scene was gruesome!

By the light of the torches, Lu Li surveyed the surroundings, feeling a deep sense of shock. The entrance to the canyon was covered in blood and mystic beast bones, and the large rocks on the ground were scarred, clearly the site of countless fierce battles. Many of the warriors in the camp were severely injured, with some missing limbs...

Someone came to settle the newly arrived Li family warriors, and Lu Li was assigned to a large tent. Inside, the air was filled with the pungent smell of herbs. Five injured people lay on the sides, ignoring Lu Li as they rested.

Lu Li ate some dry rations, then sat on the bed to meditate and practice. For him, every second was precious. Every increase in combat power meant a better chance of survival.

After practicing for half the night, Lu Li fell into a deep sleep. At dawn, a commotion and the roars of mystic beasts came from the canyon.

He got up and looked outside, seeing that about twenty Li family warriors were blocking the charging mystic beasts at the canyon entrance.

Lu Li was not a soldier of the Li family but had come to participate in the assessment mission. Therefore, no one organized him to join the battle. He thought for a moment, ate some dry meat, and then rushed to the canyon entrance with the Tian Lin saber.

The assessment mission required the killing of one hundred first-grade mystic beasts or one second-grade mystic beast. The ones charging out this time were clearly first-grade mystic beasts, which he should be able to kill easily.

Danger could come at any moment outside, and who knew if any unexpected events would occur? Lu Li thought it best to complete the mission as quickly as possible.

He soon arrived at the canyon entrance and saw Liu Yi and Old Hong nearby, along with a middle-aged Li family warrior who seemed to have reached the Divine Sea realm. However, none of them were fighting, just watching from a distance.

"Miss Yi, I want to join the battle!"

Lu Li walked over and asked Liu Yi, who nodded slightly. Lu Li immediately charged toward the canyon entrance like a fierce tiger.

"Woo woo~"

The canyon was not wide, only allowing a dozen mystic beasts to pass side by side. In the distance, the canyon was filled with mystic beasts, all black wolves.

These wolves were different from ordinary wolves, with sharp horns on their heads, several bone spines on their backs, and particularly long fangs. They were twice the size of ordinary wolves, even larger than the silver wolf Liu Yi was riding.

Iron Spine Wolves!

This was a relatively common type of mystic beast that Lu Li had seen before. Of course, if he encountered them, he would often flee immediately.

Because these Iron Spine Wolves either did not move or moved in groups of at least a hundred. If he were surrounded, he would surely die.

Lu Li ran over and squeezed into the crowd. He saw an Iron Spine Wolf charging over, so he channeled his mystic power and swung the Tian Lin saber at the wolf's head.

"Bang!"

Lu Li possessed the strength of ten thousand pounds. With the added mystic power, his strength increased by several thousand pounds, and the Tian Lin saber weighed over two thousand pounds. This strike was incredibly powerful, smashing the Iron Spine Wolf into the air and splitting its head into a mass of flesh.

"Great!"

A Li family warrior nearby cheered loudly. He was also in the middle stage of the Mystic Warrior realm, but dealing with the Iron Spine Wolves was a bit challenging. Lu Li's arrival and the killing of an Iron Spine Wolf provided a strong reinforcement, reducing his pressure.

Liu Yi and the others were paying attention to this side. She and Old Hong sighed slightly, and the middle-aged Li family elder, who had reached the Divine Sea realm, frowned and asked, "Miss Yi, this young man is very strong, and he is in the middle stage of the Mystic Warrior realm. He is a good seed. Why not recruit him to the outer hall?"

"More than just good."

Liu Yi shook her head and said, "I estimate that he reached the middle stage of the Mystic Warrior realm from cultivating mystic power in less than a month. His talent is extremely terrifying."

The elder's eyes flashed with light, and he became even more puzzled. Old Hong explained, "It's not that Miss is unwilling to recruit him, but this young man only wants to join the guest hall and refuses to join the outer hall no matter how much we persuade him..."

"Ungrateful!"

The elder's eyes turned cold, and he snorted, "Without the family's resources, even with great talent, what future can he have? This young man is too foolish."

Divine Sea, Soul Pond, Life Wheel, Immortal!

The advancement of any major realm is extremely difficult. For example, forming a Divine Sea, if a major family helps and grants precious herbs and elixirs, the speed of formation will greatly increase.

Conversely, if one relies on oneself to gather the necessary materials, it will be very difficult, and without the assistance of these materials, forming a Divine Sea will be even more challenging.

There are many Mystic Warrior realm warriors in the various tribes, but the number of Divine Sea realm warriors is extremely rare. For example, the Di Long tribe currently has only one Divine Sea realm warrior, Di Ba, due to a lack of resources.

Why did Di Ba join the Zhao family and be driven by them? It was because the Zhao family had resources that the Di Long tribe did not, which could accelerate his cultivation and make him stronger.

"Indeed, he is foolish!"

Liu Yi sighed again and said helplessly, "If he continues to act so stubbornly, I won't care about him anymore. If he is assassinated by Di Ba, it will be his own fault."
