The Night King: The Asura
Ch-15111i. The most dangerous place
Not long after they entered the forest, Lin Tian suddenly stopped their steps, yet he did not explain anything to Xie Long, but instead just focused on directing his gaze towards the front.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" ask Xie Long.
"In front there is a Monster Beast, and after uncle observed, you seem to be able to deal with it" Lin Tian replied.
"What's? Why should I?!"
"Hmm? Did you forget our purpose for coming here?"
"Truely, my goal in coming here is not only to gather resources, but also to increase strength and expand the experience."
"Good, then be prepared to fight, uncle will watch over you from up there" Lin Tian said as he pointed to a fairly tall tree branch.
After which, Lin Tian released his aura of power to lure the Monster Beasts that were in front of them, then after which, he jumped up onto the tree branch and left Xie Long alone.
Meanwhile, Xie Long had been preparing to face the Monster Beasts, he had even taken out his sword just in case the Monster Beasts he was about to encounter were high-level Beasts.
Booms!
Booms!
Not long after, the sound of enormous footsteps rang out from the front of Xie Long, which signified that the Monster Beast in front of him had a large body size, even the ground was shaking because of his steps.
"Well" Xie Long set his breath to calm himself down, "There is no time to be afraid, if you want to become stronger, then you must be ready to fight with a strong enemy as well" he murmured.
Groarr!
A short while later, the Monster Beast that Lin Tian was referring to finally appeared, it was a black bear with an enormous body size, the feathers on its body looked extremely rough, and it was a black bear, just like a very large needle.
Groarr!
The black bear roared back at the sight of Xie Long, then it moved forward at an extremely high speed. The movement of the bear had made Xie Long surprised, because he did not expect that the bear had a large body that had a fast movement.
"Shadow step!"
"Strade technique one slash!"
Xie Long launched an attack first, using a shadow step, he could move at a very high speed, then he combined it with a one-slash sword technique.
A slash!
Xie Long who was originally in front of the bear, had now moved behind him, but the attack launched by Xie Long had not yielded any results, either, because the bear's body was protected by a feather as hard as steel.
Wush!
Dhuarr!
The black bear twisted its body and immediately launched an attack on Xie Long, but the attack was easily avoided by Xie Long by jumping into the air, at the same time, at the same time, it circled in the air and launched a second attack.
Xie Long's attack managed to land right at the nape of the black bear, but for the second time, his attack still did not manage to penetrate the bear's fur, even the sword he used cracked.
Meanwhile, the black bear also launched a second attack by swinging its claws towards Xie Long, but the attack was also successfully avoided by him, Xie Long material managed to get away from the black bear.
"My sword is already cracked, if it is forced again, it might be destroyed" Xie Long murmured.
Then, Xie Long stored his sword, then he created a sword with his spiritual energy, he also used the power of the sky fire to strengthen the durability of his weapon, while increasing the devastating power of his attacks.
Groarr!
"Please! I'm ready to kill you!" xie Long said.
As if understanding Xie Long's words, the black bear ran up to him, then after being within a short distance, the bear leapt into the air to pounce on Xie Long with its two claws.
At the same time, Xie Long focused all of his strength on the energy sword in his hand, then as the bear was about to reach him, Xie Long then swung his sword into the air.
Wush!
The black-colored sword energy was created from Xie Long's slash, it shot out at high speed until it passed through the black bear, along with it, the black bear's body fell to the ground, but with a situation that has been split into two.
"Hah" Xie Long again regulated his breathing, "The attack drained quite a lot of energy" he murmured.
"Your attack is incredible, Long'er" said Lin Tian as he jumped down from the tree branch.
"Thank you uncle."
"But next time, try to find the enemy's weakness, so that you can kill him without having to drain a lot of energy."
"Especially in a place like this, you have to be clever to save energy, so you are ready to face another fight that might come unexpectedly."
"Good, uncle."
"Take that bear soul crystal, because we have to continue the journey."
After Xie Long retrieved the bear's soul crystal, they then continued their journey through the forest of monsters, along the way, Lin Tian continued to give directions to Xie Long, so that in the future, he would continue to do so, he can fight better.
***
Evening arrived, Lin Tian decided to stop their journey, because besides dangerously traveling at night, Xie Long also needed time to rest and recover his energy, he said, there is no other option but to stop.
"Uncle, is it okay to stop and rest here?" ask Xie Long.
"Actually no, because in this forest there is no such thing as a safe place to rest, but how else? We can't possibly continue the journey at night" Lin Tian replied.
"Then, what if..."
"No need to worry, uncle has already set up a protective formation around us, so you can sleep safely" Lin Tian said.
The night was getting late, the atmosphere in the forest was getting gripping coupled with bone-chilling cold air, despite being sitting near the campfire, but the cold was as if it was not affected in the slightest by it.
In addition, Xie Long also felt that he was being watched by something from behind the darkness, but when he tried to examine it, he found nothing around them. His instincts clearly tell him they are being watched.
"Just ignore it" said Lin Tian.
"Did uncle feel it too?" ask Xie Long.
Lin Tian nodded, "Right now, we are in one of the most dangerous places in the Blue Continent, so it's only natural that you feel like someone is watching you."
"I mean uncle, all I'm feeling is just my feeling?"
"No, what you feel is real, it's just, you can't feel their presence."
"Then, do you know who's watching us?"
"They are a spirit nation, uncle himself does not know where they came from, but according to your father, the spirit nation is a very dangerous enemy for cultivators, because besides being difficult to defeat them, it is difficult to defeat them, the spirit nation also has the ability to interfere with one's mind and soul."
"But you don't have to worry, because before coming here, uncle already had preparations, one of which was the protective formation that now protects us."
