Afterwards, Jian Chen also temporarily walked with the mercenary team. After some small talk, the relationship between Jian Chen and the mercenary team also became a lot closer without knowing it, and at the same time , Jian Chen also has some understanding of this team of mercenaries.
This mercenary group is a small mercenary group called Yiqi. There are more than 80 people in the group. In addition to the strength of the head of the group, there are also five masters of the master class. As for the rest The people are all great saints and saints.
Since it was late at night, Jian Chen and the members of the Yiqi Mercenary Group chatted for a while and then went to rest. Jian Chen also took out a tent from his space belt and set it up, and then took out two magic cores. into the state of cultivation.
The energy in the demon core was absorbed by Jian Chen at a very terrifying speed, but what was different from before was that as soon as this energy entered Jian Chen's body, it ran towards the purple and green sword spirit in Jian Chen's dantian. It was not absorbed by Jian Chen at all.
The current Ziqing sword spirit is very weak, and its strength is not even 1/10,000 of its heyday. Therefore, Jian Chen is not in a hurry to improve his strength for the time being, but pours the energy in the magic core into Ziqing. In the Sword Spirit, this will speed up the recovery of the Ziqing Sword Spirit, because now he can borrow part of the power of the Ziqing Sword Spirit, and as the power of the Ziqing Sword Spirit increases, the power he can use will also be more powerful. of power.
Moreover, now that Jian Chen's strength has just broken through to the great sage, he does not dare to continue to increase his strength as crazy as before. Although the violent factor in the magic nuclear energy will be absorbed by the Ziqing Sword Spirit, but the strength If the improvement is too fast, it will only lead to an unstable foundation, which will have a great impact on the future.
The speed at which the Ziqing Sword Spirit absorbed the energy in the demon core was very fast, much faster than the consumption of Jian Chen's previous cultivation. A fourth-order demon core was absorbed by the Ziqing Sword Spirit in just one hour.
Jian Chen took a deep breath. Now, he was taken aback by the speed at which the Ziqing Sword Spirit absorbed the energy of the demon core. The speed of absorbing the energy of the magic core has been deliberately suppressed. In short, now the Ziqing Sword Spirit absorbs the energy in the magic core much faster. A fourth-order magic core was consumed in just one hour. Jian Chen was once again shocked by such a terrifying consumption speed.
After all, a fourth-order magic core is not a third-order magic core. If a third-order magic core is consumed in an hour, Jian Chen can barely endure it, but if a fourth-order magic core is consumed in an hour, then Jian Chen will feel a little bit. I can't take it anymore. Although it is easy for him to hunt down Tier 4 monsters with his current strength, the number of Tier 4 monsters is not as many as Tier 3 and Tier 2 monsters.
"Alas... one fourth-order magic core is consumed in one hour, and twelve fourth-order magic cores are consumed in twelve hours a day. How can this be consumed?" Jian Chen sighed secretly, and then he stretched out. After a long time, his brows furrowed again.
At night, very quiet, in the quiet camp, snoring can be heard from time to time
…
Early in the morning, when the sun on the side of the sky just showed its red face from the line of heaven and earth, there was a voice of conversation outside the tent of the Yiqi Mercenary Corps, accompanied by the "crack crackle crackle" from the burning wood. sound.
Jian Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in the tent, slowly opened his eyes, then walked out of the tent and glanced at random for a week.
I saw that there are more than 40 people in action now, who are making fires, and those who are closing tents, and some people are feeding their mounts with fodder, looking very busy.
In some tents, there are still strong men crawling out of them, all of them sleepy eyes, yawning in their mouths, obviously not sleeping well.
Jian Chen shook his head slightly, then turned around and started to pack up his tent.
"Hey, Jian Chen, did you sleep well last night?" At this moment, a slightly thick voice came from not far away. Hearing the sound, Jian Chen turned his head and saw a burly man with a slender upper body walking towards him.
This person, Jian Chen recognized, was the head of the Yiqi Mercenary Group, Hedorf.
"Well, it's okay!" Jian Chen replied with a smile, last night, he didn't sleep at all. To be precise, Jian Chen has slept very little since he was a child, and since he became a saint, he has slept even less, spending almost every night in cultivation.
Sleep is nothing more than excessive wear and tear of the gods during the day, and sleep is needed to recover. Once a person falls into deep sleep, his head will be blank, and he will enter an ethereal state. In this state, he cannot feel the passage of time at all, and ordinary people This is the most basic way to restore the gods consumed during the day. The difference between martial artists is that when they enter the state of cultivation, their spirits will also enter an ethereal state. In this state, not only can their gods be restored, but their recovery speed is much faster than sleeping.
Sleeping is actually a way to restore the gods. For some people with strong enough gods, it is extremely normal to sleep without sleep for several days and nights.
After breakfast, the members of the loyalty mercenary group also started to hurry, and Jian Chen, because he had no mounts, sat on a carriage full of goods, and rushed all the way to the direction of Wacker City.
In a blink of an eye, Jian Chen followed the team of the Loyalty Mercenary Group for a day. During this period, Jian Chen also chatted with some mercenaries from time to time, and the relationship seemed to have deepened unconsciously. .
At this moment, Jian Chen, sitting cross-legged on the carriage full of goods, closed his eyes and rested, his expression suddenly changed, and then his slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, staring a little sharply ahead, shouting: "Everyone be careful, there are people ahead. Movement, this should be a demon beast rushing in our direction."
Hearing Jian Chen's loud shout, the team suddenly stopped, each staring at the front with sharp eyes, but after looking at it for a while, the front was calm and there was no abnormality.
"Jianchen, you are too sensitive, everything is normal here, so there is no movement." A mercenary turned to look at Jian Chen, and said with some complaints.
"Yeah, Jianchen, you can't say things like that. In the future, you should stop making jokes like this before you figure things out." This time, it was Hedofu, the head of the Loyalty Mercenary Corps, who spoke in a tone of voice. A bit of reproach.
However, just as Herdorf finished speaking, suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly.
"Captain, there is really a movement, you pay attention to the ground." A mercenary standing on the ground first noticed the movement on the ground, and immediately said to the head of Hedorf.
"The ground is shaking..."
"Did a cavalry pass through here..."
"We won't have encountered a group of monsters..."
…
Following this person's words, the rest of the Loyalty Mercenary Corps also noticed the movement on the ground, and their expressions became a little dignified, and they said with speculation.
"Be alert, be alert, and prepare for battle." Colonel Herdorf shouted without any hesitation.
The mercenaries of the Loyalty Mercenary Corps acted immediately, dozens of people sacrificed their holy soldiers at the same time, lined up in a formation and stared at the front with a solemn expression, as if they were facing a big enemy.
