C157 On the Other Side of the Mountain
It wasn't easy for him to kill this Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage Whirlwind Wolf with all his might, but a tragedy happened before his eyes once again.
Before he could make a move, the nightmarish light beam appeared once again, accompanied by a familiar ghost face that disappeared in front of Ye Bufan's eyes.
Ye Bufan had a feeling that the little squirrel had been following him during this period of time. However, no matter how hard he searched with his Divine Sense, he couldn't find any trace of the little squirrel. For example, after killing the Gale Wolf, Ye Bufan did not rush forward. Instead, he quickly spread out his Divine Sense, but the little squirrel seemed to appear out of thin air in a corner. With lightning speed, he once again occupied an advantageous position and quickly took the Gale Wolf's Beast Crystal.
Facing the speed of the little squirrel moving like the wind, besides cursing in his heart, Ye Bufan was unable to make any effective counterattacks.
Walking to the front of the Wind Wolf, he skillfully skinned, extracted the scriptures, and cut the flesh. During this period of jungle life, Ye Bufan was getting more and more familiar with the butcher profession. In just an hour, he had dealt with all of this.
Sitting cross-legged, he took out the Spirit Stone from the storage bracelet and began to recover his spiritual energy. In the Flowing Wave Mountain Range, Ye Bufan had never been stingy with the Spirit Stone. As long as it was the spirit energy used in battle, he would use the Spirit Stone to replenish it. After all, he was in a dangerous situation. The earlier he recovered his strength, the more insurance he would have.
However, they didn't know that not far away, a petite figure was looking at the Spirit Stone in Ye Bufan's hand, drooling. There were several times when she wanted to snatch the ___ from ___, but she thought of how powerful this human was. She could only bury this thought in her heart.
The spiritual energy within the Spirit Stone was extremely abundant. In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he recovered almost all of his spiritual energy and looked at the Spirit Stone in his hand that had already dimmed. Ye Bufan shook his head. Not everyone could afford this kind of consumption. After entering the Flowing Wave Mountain Range, Ye Bufan had used up no less than ten Top-grade Spirit Stone. This kind of waste, even a sect like the Aoyun Sect would not dare to try it.
He placed the dull Spirit Stone back into the storage bracelet. After all, he didn't know when he would have the chance to enter the Evil Space. Now that he had used one Spirit Stone less than the previous one, Ye Bufan didn't dare to spend too much effort on it.
Of course, this was only Ye Bufan's personal opinion. If ordinary cultivators saw Ye Bufan using the Spirit Stone to recover his spiritual energy instead of using it for cultivation, if this wasn't considered a big deal, then wouldn't he be using the Spirit Stone as a wastage? To see which piece of the ___ is a wastage?
Ye Bufan, who stood up, once again felt like he was being spied on. He discovered that as long as he used the Spirit Stone to recover his spirit energy, it was as if there was a pair of eyes peeking at him from the dark. He wanted to look for it several times, but found nothing. It was as if he had become accustomed to it. Ye Bufan did not pursue it any further and continued on his path.
In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a month since he entered the Flowing Wave Mountain Range. He calculated based on his own speed. He should have already completed half of the journey. He was still considered lucky. He didn't encounter any overly powerful Spirit Beast. He hoped that his luck would remain the same.
It seemed like the God of Luck had always been very fond of Ye Bufan. As time passed, Ye Bufan found that the Spirit Beast he encountered was getting weaker and weaker. It seemed like he had already passed through the core region of the Flowing Wave Mountain Range. He estimated that he was now heading towards the outer region of the mountain.
"The route that old man Ao Changkong pointed to is really not bad!" Ye Bufan took a bite of the beast leg that he did not know the name of and let out a hearty sigh.
If they had gone to places that were too dangerous, then the rest of the journey would be... Ye Bufan naturally had great confidence in himself. In the past few days, only one Spirit Beast had produced a Beast Crystal, which meant that he was getting closer and closer to safety. Regarding the matter of the Beast Crystal being stolen, Ye Bufan was now able to remain calm. He would even wait for a moment for every Spirit Beast he killed...
As he walked, a fork appeared in the road ahead...
Ye Bufan began to recall Ao Changkong's description. He did not mention that there was a fork in the road. Seeing that there was not much difference between the two roads, Ye Bufan casually chose one. He walked forward.
Suddenly, there was an unusual movement behind him. Ye Bufan immediately became alert, but he saw the little squirrel coming out behind him.
"Little guy, I haven't killed the Spirit Beast yet. Why did you come out?" Although the little squirrel had eaten a lot of Ye Bufan's Beast Crystal, to the wealthy Ye Bufan, on the contrary, the little squirrel reminded him of some scenes from his past life.
"Zhi... Zhi..." The little squirrel's forelimbs swayed back and forth, then hugged its head and curled up. Its body was still trembling slightly.
Regarding such a difficult body language, Ye Bufan could not imagine what the little squirrel wanted to express no matter how hard he tried. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Alright, little guy, I still have to hurry. You can go play on the side!" After saying that, Ye Bufan turned around and left.
The little squirrel suddenly jumped and bit Ye Bufan's clothes. It kept shaking its head and dragging Ye Bufan back.
At this time, Ye Bufan finally understood what the little squirrel meant. "You mean this path can't be taken?"
Seeing that Ye Bufan finally understood what it meant, the little squirrel let go of Ye Bufan's clothes and kept nodding.
At this moment, Ye Bufan recalled the fear on the little squirrel's face when it was drawing. What kind of danger could make the little squirrel feel fear? From Ye Bufan's judgment, with the little squirrel's speed, as long as it wanted to escape, it was estimated that even an Eighth Rank of Spirit Stage warrior wouldn't be able to do anything to it.
"I want to cross the Flowing Wave Mountain Range, can I cross this path?" Ye Bufan pointed to another path, and the little squirrel nodded its head.
After thinking for a while, Ye Bufan chose to believe in the little squirrel. Although the little squirrel did not display its attack power, from its concealment ability, and... In terms of speed, Ye Bufan believed that its strength wouldn't be any weaker than the Spirit Beast that he had killed. And judging from the appearance of the little squirrel, it did not seem like it wanted to harm him at all.
Although Ye Bufan was also very curious about that path, he felt that he couldn't afford to pay the price of curiosity. He just remembered this path in his heart. Perhaps he would come back one day.
"Alright then. I'll take this path. Little guy, are you going to follow me like this, or follow me quietly and suddenly come out to snatch my Beast Crystal?" Ye Bufan, who was in a good mood, teased.
The little squirrel revealed a shy expression similar to a human's. It jumped onto Ye Bufan's shoulder and said, "Squeak... It squeaked twice as if it was somewhat embarrassed.
It was another night. The moonlight gently sprinkled on the ground like water, covering the surrounding grassland with a layer of faint white.
The little squirrel that had just eaten a Tier 4 Spirit Beast Beast Crystal leaned against Ye Bufan's side, its gaze fixed on the leopard leg on the bonfire. It had followed Ye Bufan these few days and discovered that although the Spirit Beast's meat could not increase its strength, it could. Compared to the dry and hard Beast Crystal, it was much more delicious.
After Ye Bufan tore off a large piece of thin meat from the leopard leg, he gently threw the entire leopard leg towards the little squirrel. The little squirrel's front claws caught the leopard leg, which was obviously larger than its body size, and it started to eat it quickly.
When Ye Bufan chewed slowly and ate all the meat in his hand, the little squirrel also threw down pieces of bones. The meat of the entire leopard leg had already fallen into its stomach. Ye Bufan was very puzzled about the little guy's appetite. He really did not understand how it swallowed the meat of the leg that was obviously bigger than its body into its stomach.
Like this, Ye Bufan and the little squirrel continued their journey in a carefree manner. In order to facilitate communication, Ye Bufan named it "loose." At first, the little squirrel seemed to be a little unhappy, but at the same time, it seemed to be a little unhappy. After Ye Bufan stopped roasting meat for a few nights in a row, it finally accepted this name that made it feel somewhat humiliated.
"Relax, how many years have you been in Flowing Wave Mountain Range?" After encountering several rank 8 and 9 wild beasts in a row, Ye Bufan knew that he had already entered the outer perimeter of Flowing Wave Mountain Range, and his speed had also increased by a lot.
After the little squirrel laid on Ye Bufan's left shoulder for a while, Ye Bufan smiled and said, "You glutton, you don't even know how long you have been here!"
After spending some time together, Ye Bufan could barely guess the meaning of the little squirrel's actions.
"Now I have entered the outer region of Flowing Wave Mountain Range. I am going out soon. Do you want to go back or follow me?" Ye Bufan slowed down, reached out his right hand and touched the little squirrel on his shoulder and asked.
During this period of time, Ye Bufan had started to like this little cutie a little. After all, regarding this Spirit Beast that understood human nature and could not speak, Ye Bufan displayed his true self in front of it. He did not need to pretend to be the Third Young Master of the Ye family like he did in the past when he was facing his master and friends.
Facing Ye Bufan's sudden question, the little squirrel, which had been very active just now, suddenly quieted down. It looked like it was thinking about something.
