C178 Passing Through the Black Wind Camp
Ye Bufan felt that his body had been tempered to the limit. It was not as good as what he knew. After stopping the refinement of his body, he channeled the remaining spirit energy into his Dantian once again, and the Five Colors Golden Core circulated at high speed, continuously absorbing spirit energy. Looking into his body, Ye Bufan found that the light of the Five Colors Golden Core had become even brighter, and its size had also increased by a full circle. It was also more solid than before.
Sensing the changes in the Five Colors Golden Core, Ye Bufan knew that he had already entered the late Golden Core stage. If it wasn't for the fact that he was blindly pursuing the strengthening of his physical body in this life, with the help of the profound spirit energy just now, perhaps breaking his core and forming his Nascent Soul in one go wouldn't be a difficult task.
When he opened his eyes, a breathtaking light flashed in his eyes. Seeing the four of them standing in different positions to protect him, Ye Bufan placed this gratitude in his heart. He knew that he owed the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group another favor.
Boss Qi was also shocked when he saw Ye Bufan's radiant face. Although Ye Bufan was able to walk with great effort just now, he could clearly see the serious injuries on his body. However, Ye Bufan looked like a normal person now. What exactly was that red fruit?
"How do you feel now?" Boss Qi suppressed the doubt in his heart and asked.
Ye Bufan did not want to hide too much about his own situation. He shook his body and said, "I feel good. I should have recovered by now."
In fact, how could Ye Bufan have recovered by now? His cultivation had advanced from the late Golden Core stage to the peak of late Golden Core stage. After the last battle with Lyi Wentian, he had been baptized by the explosion. In addition, he had just used a lot of spiritual power to temper his body. The strength of his body had increased by a lot. Ye Bufan believed that if he met Lyi Wentian again, he would not be in such a sorry state like the last time.
After getting Ye Bufan's confirmation, everyone secretly clicked their tongues. Boss Qi said, "That scarlet red fruit is really divine-grade!"
Only now did Ye Bufan see the little squirrel lying in Qi Tianyu's arms. He felt a wave of doubt in his heart, but it was immediately replaced by the joy of recovering from serious injuries. He waved his hand and the little squirrel immediately jumped over from Qi Tianyu's body.
He nodded the little squirrel's head. Ye Bufan said in a gentle voice, "Thank you, little guy!"
Seeing that Ye Bufan did not ask about the origin of the little squirrel's fruit, everyone's faces were somewhat disappointed. But after thinking about it, they felt relieved. How could he possibly share such a treasure with them?
In fact, Ye Bufan was not afraid of people asking about it in front of them. It was just that Ye Bufan knew the speed of the little squirrel too well. Even with the speed of the little squirrel, it had been so long. They were afraid that the place where they could find the fruit was not close.
"I'm really sorry, because I delayed everyone by another day!" Ye Bufan really felt guilty at this moment.
Boss Qi immediately smiled and said, "It is okay. As long as you recover, we will travel through the night. I believe we can make up for the time we have wasted."
To mercenaries, it was common to travel through the night. Not every mission had too much time for them to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Qi Tianyu looked at the little squirrel peacefully lying on Ye Bufan's shoulder and felt a little reluctant in her heart. However, Ye Bufan was the owner of the little squirrel after all.
They had been guarding Ye Bufan for the whole day. Although they were careful of their surroundings, it did not consume much of their energy, so their speed was not slow either.
At first, Boss Qi was a little worried about Ye Bufan's strength. His speed was not considered fast. When he found out that Ye Bufan could keep up with them, Boss Qi started to increase his speed. To his surprise, even if he increased his speed to the same as his sister's Seventh Rank of Qi Stage speed, Ye Bufan's pace was still the same as usual. He did not catch his breath at all.
This situation was also seen by the others. Everyone attributed Ye Bufan's current speed to the nameless fruit that the little squirrel had given him. They couldn't help but envy his good life, to actually have such a small pet.
On the way, Boss Qi was casually chatting with Ye Bufan. It was as if he wanted to inquire about Ye Bufan's background, but it was all resolved by Ye Bufan.
Time had just arrived, and the night passed peacefully in the endless gale. Boss Qi suddenly stopped, "Rest here for two hours, and you will find it. The Black Wind Mountain is right in front of you!"
Everyone nodded and sat down. Boss Qi took out some dry food and water from his backpack and gave it to everyone.
"What's wrong with Black Wind Mountain?" Ye Bufan saw that their faces slightly changed when they talked about Black Wind Mountain.
Zhang Chenglong, who was sitting next to Ye Bufan, said, "You have never walked this path before?"
Ye Bufan drank a mouthful of water and said, "I have never walked this path. Could it be that Black Wind Mountain has some powerful Spirit Beast?"
Walking from Flowing Wave Mountain Range, Ye Bufan felt that there was only Spirit Beast in the forest that could pose a threat to humans. At the same time, Ye Bufan thought that if he had some Spirit Beast, he could get some crystals for the little squirrel to taste. This little guy hadn't eaten Beast Crystal for a long time.
Zhang Chenglong seemed to be very enthusiastic about Ye Bufan's question. Maybe he could show off his knowledge and find some confidence in the boring journey. "There are no Spirit Beast on Black Wind Mountain, but there is a group of bandits living inside. They are extremely powerful. It is said that all ten of them were at the Ninth Rank of Qi Stage in the past."
Ninth Rank of Qi Stage bandits? Not bad. When he thought about the group of bandits he met when he just came out of the Ye family, he thought that they were all at the Power Stage. Ye Bufan couldn't help but sigh at how different this world was.
Seeing that Ye Bufan didn't say anything, Zhang Chenglong thought that he was a little scared, so he said, "But I'm not worried either. Every time we pass by the Black Wind Mountain, we always have the proper etiquette, so there won't be any danger!"
After running for a night, they still felt a little tired. After everyone finished eating their dry food, they began to meditate and recover. Although Zhang Chenglong said it was easy, it was better to be more careful when dealing with bandits.
Seeing everyone enter into a state of cultivation, Ye Bufan quietly took out a low grade Spirit Stone from his storage bracelet and threw it to the little squirrel. He also closed his eyes. Pretending to cultivate, it did not consume any energy at all for Ye Bufan's speed last night.
In his spare time, Ye Bufan also felt his current cultivation base at the peak of late Golden Core Peak. According to Ye Bufan's estimation, his current cultivation base should be around the Seventh Rank of Spirit Stage of this world. If he counted his combat strength, which had become f * * king strong, he might not necessarily lose to an Eighth Rank of Spirit Stage.
As he thought about this, Ye Bufan couldn't help but think of the last strike he had in the battle with Lyi Wentian. When the five types of spiritual energy were combined together, it actually produced such a huge amount of power. It was estimated that even if a Ninth Rank of Spirit Stage was at the peak of the mountain, it would be hard to guarantee his life.
Ye Bufan had always been puzzled about how he was able to protect his own life, but he believed that Lyi Wentian, who was also his opponent, wouldn't be as lucky as him.
One! Two hours was not a long time. When Ye Bufan was still thinking about the integration of the five types of spiritual power, Boss Qi had already stood up and said, "Everyone should be almost there!"
Ye Bufan immediately stood up, "I can do it!"
Seeing the other three also stand up, Boss Qi said, "Let's go!" After saying that, he walked forward unhurriedly.
Ye Bufan looked at everyone in a somewhat depressed manner. Wasn't it because they were in a hurry? Why was he not in a hurry now? Instead, he walked forward slowly.
Boss Qi saw the doubt in Ye Bufan's eyes and said, "Don't be surprised. There is a rule in Black Wind Mountain that all warriors below the Sovereign at Spirit Stage have to follow. If you pass by Black Wind Mountain, you must walk. Otherwise, you will be looked down upon by the people of Black Wind Stronghold. In that case, they will be slaughtered by the Black Wind Stronghold! "
" Doesn't that mean that everyone is slowly walking on the road, waiting for them to rob us? " Ye Bufan was quite impressed by the stronghold culture of the Black Wind Stronghold.
Boss Qi said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Many people have tried it before. But most of them died on the Black Wind Mountain, especially for mercenaries. Maybe this time you have a lot of people, and Black Wind Stronghold will not be able to defeat you. However, there will always be times when you pass this road, and there will always be fewer people... "
"It seems like you really aren't an ordinary bandit!" Ye Fan couldn't help but admire the talent who had come up with this method. In the 21st century, he would definitely be an outstanding real estate entrepreneur.
"Alright, we've entered the Black Wind Stronghold's sphere of influence. Be careful with your words!" Boss Qi reminded Ye Bufan. As for the other Wolf Fang members, this wasn't the first time they had taken this road, so there was no need to remind them too much.
Ye Bufan did not care about the Black Wind Stronghold, which was made up of only Peak of Ninth Rank of Qi Stage warriors, but he also followed them carefully.
After entering the territory of Black Wind Stronghold, the atmosphere became silent. Even Boss Qi rarely spoke. Although he couldn't use his movement technique, their walking speed wasn't weak. They just wanted to get to Black Wind Mountain as soon as possible.
However, there were some things in life that you couldn't hide from even if you wanted to!
For example, the four people from Wolf Fang Mercenary Group had never thought that they would be working in Black Wind Stronghold at dawn. When they made a turn along the path, they found a big tree blocking their way in the middle of the path.
Although the big tree was thick, the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group was not an ordinary person. It was naturally easy for them to jump over it. However, when they saw the big tree across the path, their facial expression changed slightly because the big tree meant that the people from the Black Wind Stronghold had to stop.
It was said that there were once three Ninth Rank of Qi Stage experts who ignored it. They forced their way past it, but unfortunately, they ended up being three corpses that were hung here. After hanging there for a month, they became three dried corpses. Under the cruel means of Black Wind Stronghold, there were fewer and fewer people who dared to offend them. Even if there were, they were still people who considered themselves to be extremely strong.
Obviously, the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group did not think that they had the ability to do so, so they naturally did not dare to touch the taboo of the Black Wind Stronghold!
