Ling Yun was watching the gray forest map purchased from the vendor's place in Yinye Town, while quickly traveling through the jungle.

With his two years of life in the jungle, the dense forest now cannot hinder his progress speed. However, the Gray Forest is a Gray Forest after all, and it is not comparable to the jungle that Ling Yun had experienced before.

Less than forty or fifty miles into the forest, a tiger-shaped monster covered with scales on his body launched a fierce attack on him, the human who dared to invade his territory.

The strength of this tiger-shaped monster is about the peak of the first-level swordsman, and even those formal swordsmen who have just mastered ordinary sword skills are not sure to defeat him. However, Ling Yun is not as simple as an ordinary first-level swordsman. Under the sharp attack of the Xuan Jianqi of Jiujiu, his strong scales that are hard to be damaged suddenly burst into pieces and flesh and blood are flying.

The strong pain instantly made the monster notice the strength of the person in front of him. He immediately ignored the territory that had been living in this area for more than a year, and hurriedly threw himself into the forest and disappeared into the vast forest.

Ling Yun did not pursue it. The first-level peak monster was obviously much worse than him. He came to this forest to try and complete the mission by the way, rather than abused the first-level monsters to make fun.

This radius of dozens of miles is obviously the territory of this tiger-shaped monster. After defeating the monster, Ling Yun advanced for more than 30 miles in a row and finally encountered the second monster again. However, because this was just the edge of the gray forest, even if he encountered the monster, he was only the first level. If he wanted to encounter the second level monster, he had to go deep into the forest for 300 miles.

"Gentian grass is only in the ordinary area of ​​the Gray Forest, and is still a distance from the central area. I believe it will not be able to encounter evenly matched monsters. In this way, isn't it difficult to achieve the purpose of training?" Thinking of this, Ling Yun gave up the idea of ​​getting gentian grass first and took the lead in going to the central area.

If the dean of the Brilliant Academy cannot break through the innate Mahayana realm, then look for those monsters that have reached the third level of strength.

Although he will definitely be seriously injured after defeating a third-level monster with his strength, and may even be hunted by other monsters, how can he successfully break through this barrier that is not considered a barrier without being oppressed in such a harsh environment?

With this mentality, Lingyun bypassed the place where the gentian grass was and headed to the central area first.

What he didn't know was that it was because he did not go to get gentian first that he was lucky enough to resolve an invisible crisis.

Because the Roman Sword Master and others had already arrived near the gentian grass guarded by the two-headed demon snake the second day after entering the forest. After an hour of trimming and recovery, as a third-level sword master, he and Luo He blatantly attacked the two-headed demon snake.

However, the combat power of the monsters at the peak of the fourth level was far beyond the estimates of Roman Sword Master and Luohe Sword Master. In just a few encounters, Roman Sword Master was the first to be injured. What was particularly terrifying was that the toxins in the demon snake's body quickly invaded Roman Sword Master along the wound. If they had not prepared enough in advance and brought a large amount of antidote pills, Roman, the third-level sword master, would have to explain it here.

With the injury of Roman sword master, Luo He, the chief sword master of Ziyun Empire, could not last long. He accidentally fell down his entire arm and was bitten into flesh by the sharp teeth of the demon snake, almost half of his combat power was consumed.

The two-headed demon snake's combat power shocked the two of them to retreat one after another. In addition, Luo He, the chief swordsman, was paid for, which forced them to give up this tempting task.

The two third-level sword masters joined forces and were forced to this point by the two-headed demon snake. If Ling Yun had come to seize the gentian grass in advance and faced the two-headed demon snake, what would it be like?

...

Ling Yun was still ignorant of the incident in the Gentian grass mission. He was walking inside the Gray Forest, trying to find the places where large monsters live.

However, after leaving for three days, he frowned: "This Gray Forest rumor is that there are even three and fourth-level super monsters. Now I am close to the central area. Why have I never seen a second-level monster except for encountering seven-level first-level monsters? Not to mention those third-level monsters."

Confused, Ling Yun compared the direction and moved forward again.

When he turned around a dense forest, a rustling sound suddenly came with the sound of the wind. Ling Yun tightened his mind, leaned lightly, and leveraged the trunk next to him, and directly stepped onto a dense tree opposite, hidden in the dense leaves.

After living in the jungle for so many days, Ling Yun naturally understood what the rustling sound meant - there were creatures approaching.

"I don't know what level of monster it is this time. If it is still the first level, it would be too boring." Just as Ling Yun thought, the grass in front suddenly separated, and a white figure suddenly flew out of the grass, levering force on the ground, his elegant body was like a light leaf dancing in the wind, passing through the jungle, and in the blink of an eye, he had already floated past the big tree he was hiding and disappeared from sight.

After Ling Yun watched the strange figure disappear, he said in his heart: "What a light and elegant body technique, this speed is probably as fast as I can use Ling Yun step."

Suddenly, Ling Yun remembered the floating figure and looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. After thinking about it carefully, was it the woman in white who met on that rainy night a month ago?

"Why is she here? Are she still chasing the monster?" Thinking of this, he looked up in the direction where the woman disappeared, and was about to go down the tree.

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps in the direction the woman had just arrived, and this time there were more than one person catching up with, but three people. Without exception, all three were masters in the sword master stage, and one of them had reached the level of a second-level sword master.

One of the three had a sensitive nose. He sniffed along the smell remaining in the air. A ray of light immediately shot out from his eyes. A white light shone like lightning in his hand, and a strong wind whistled straight towards the trees hiding in Lingyun.

Ling Yun felt a stern in his heart, kicked on the trunk, jumped out of thin air and broke through the tree crown, avoiding the attack of Dou Qi Slash.

However, before he could land, several consecutive fuqi came one after another, blocking all his dodge space, forcing him to immediately draw his sword and disperse all the slashed fuqi.

Ling Yun took advantage of the counter-shocking energy of this fighting spirit and floated backwards in the void. At this time, the other party also saw Ling Yun's appearance clearly and exclaimed softly: "It's not him!"

"Sneaking, there must be something wrong." Another swordsman was about to take action again, but the second-level swordsman reached out and stopped him: "This person's strength is not inferior to me. It's important to chase people, don't make any troubles. In which direction did she run?"

"It's the central area! It seems that he wants to escape from the gray forest with the cover of high-level monsters."

"Hmph, there are nearly thirty sword masters in our four countries, and nearly a thousand high-level swordsmen have already set up nets of heaven and earth in this area, and even if she has wings, it will be difficult for her to fly out." After that, he took the lead in chasing out.

Ling Yun watched the three of them leave, but he did not stop him.

His current strength is only comparable to that of the second-level sword master. If he goes to chase him, he may not get any benefits by fighting against three.

While walking, we could still hear the three people's conversations: "Although the woman is only a first-level swordsman, her body speed is really difficult. Even if we catch up, we may not be able to capture her."

"If we can't capture it, we have to capture it. Our four empires paid such a heavy price to kill the two-headed snake demon. How could we save the gentian grass? Therefore, no matter what, that woman must die."

"Oh, the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind us. It's all because we were too careless. In the eyes of more than 20 swordsmen, a first-level girl stole the gentian grass. If this matter is spread, our four empires will not have the face!"

"It's no wonder that our four countries are in this matter. After all, the third-level sword masters were all injured by the toxins of the two-headed demon snake when they exploded. They had no time to distract themselves from intercepting her. Otherwise, no matter how fast she was, she wouldn't be able to be faster than the pursuit of the third-level sword master."

"Things have reached this point, hurry up and chase..."

Listening to the voices of the three people's conversation gradually faded, Ling Yun couldn't help but wonder: "Gentian grass? Is the task item I need? But just a gentian grass, I actually sent all the sword masters of the four empires to mobilize? What's going on? And according to the conversation between the three of them just now, it seemed that the woman took advantage of the defeat between the sword masters of the four empires and a monster, and stole the gentian grass..."

Although he was a little confused about what happened just now, Ling Yun was not a person with too much curiosity.

He just wanted to use the gentian grass mission reward technique to verify it with his Jiujiu Shangxuan Sword Qi. If the mission fails in the end, it doesn't matter. At worst, he can earn merits in the future and exchange for a fourth-level martial art. The most important thing is to break through to the innate Mahayana realm as soon as possible. After reaching that realm, he will return to the starting point of his previous life and begin to be able to use the benefits brought by spiritual energy.
