The deacon of the mission building was indeed right. The mountain behind was indeed full of dangers, and he never knew when he would encounter a beast hiding in the dark.
Moreover, these ferocious beasts have been dealing with the disciples of Fengjian Sect all year round, and their combat experience is much richer than that of Lu Xuan and others, so they are often unable to guard against them.
As the four people continued to go deeper, they encountered six or seven waves of attacks one after another. The opponents became stronger each time. Fortunately, they had learned the lesson from the first time and the dangerous situation like the first time never happened again. After all, except for Lin Xinyi In addition, Xia Ye and Xing Feng were both at the fifth level of body refining, and with Lu Xuan in charge, it was relatively easy to deal with the beasts on the periphery.
After killing a sneak attack of the fifth-level beast Shadow Fox again, Lu Xuan stopped and said: "Have a rest here, I will protect you. You should seize the time to restore your energy and ensure that your strength is at its peak. Next, ahead, It is very likely that a sixth-level beast will appear."
Lu Xuan has Taiyi Guiyuan Jue by his side, and can continue to operate slowly even when walking. Unless it is a high-intensity battle, there is no need to worry about Yuanli issues, but the three of them cannot.
Hearing this, the three of them didn't show any pretense. They sat cross-legged on the spot and quickly started their exercises, leaving their safety in Lu Xuan's hands.
Looking around with vigilant eyes, a faint sword intent was released from Lu Xuan's body. As long as it was not a stupid beast and felt Lu Xuan's sharp aura, it would definitely not come looking for trouble.
After about half an hour, the three of them recovered and stood up one after another, and the team set off again.
After entering this area, the four of them clearly felt that the atmosphere around them was no longer what it was before. There were far fewer active beasts than before. The deeper the forest, the higher the level of the active beasts. Low-level beasts did not dare to come in at all. Otherwise it will just become food.
They walked around a few big trees again and looked forward. Lu Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank. A huge giant bear appeared in front of them. It was eating. When it noticed the arrival of Lu Xuan and others, it stopped immediately. He made a move and raised his copper bell-sized eyes to stare at Lu Xuan.
The three people following him also saw this giant bear. Xia Ye couldn't help but exclaimed and lowered his voice: "This is the sixth-order beast, the armored bear. It is also the top existence among the sixth-order. I am here." I’ve seen illustrations in books, but I didn’t expect the real thing to be so big!”
Seeing that the armored bear seemed to have no intention of attacking immediately, Lu Xuan did not rush to take action and asked calmly: "Its characteristics."
"The defense is very strong. If it were another sixth-level beast, I would still have some confidence, but for this guy, I don't think I can break its defense with just one sword." Xia Ye said quickly, and couldn't help but add: "And its vitality is extremely tenacious. If possible, we should not choose to confront it."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's thoughts changed rapidly, but the aura he exuded did not weaken at all. On the contrary, it became stronger and stronger.
"You and Xing Feng, protect Xinyi and retreat first. I will resist it." Lu Xuan said calmly. Since this armored bear is so difficult to deal with and is not their mission target, there is no need to take risks. It's a waste of time.
However, from his previous experience in Qingshan Town, Lu Xuan also knew that if the four of them turned around and left now, this beast would probably not let it go. He had to deter it, knowing that he was not easy to mess with.
"Lu Xuan, be careful." As Xia Ye and the two retreated, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but say.
Lu Xuan didn't answer. Xiao Chengqi's sword intent was released without reservation and fell into the eyes of the armored bear. At this moment, Lu Xuan was like an invincible sharp blade. Its proud defense was in front of him. I'm afraid it's not that difficult to break through in human hands, and the fear in his eyes is getting stronger and stronger.
After one person and one bear faced off for five breaths, Lu Xuan slowly took a step back. The deterrent was almost enough. If a fight really started, Lu Xuan might not be afraid of it. No matter how strong its defense was, it could still be stronger than his own sword intent. Can't? However, since it is an unnecessary battle, it is natural to avoid it if possible. During the battle, no one knows whether it will attract other beasts, lest Lin Xinyi and others fall into danger.
Seeing Lu Xuan's retreat, the ferocity in the armored bear's bones suddenly surged up again, and he subconsciously wanted to rush forward and tear this human being into pieces. However, he felt the sword intent in Lu Xuan's body that had not faded away, and gave up the idea again. It’s better not to do the things you are sure of. Anyway, you have already eaten and drank enough. For it, survival is the first priority.
At this time, Lu Xuan had already taken several steps away. Seeing that there was no danger, the armored bear picked up the food he had not finished yet and began to chew on it, leaving Lu Xuan behind.
Lin Xinyi and the other three didn't go far. They relaxed when they saw Lu Xuan retreating.
Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that the deacon was right. The seven-star mission is still a bit difficult for us. I didn't expect a sixth-level armored bear to be so powerful."
I used to read the illustrations of those ferocious beasts in books, but Xia Ye didn't think they were that scary. I thought I had no problem killing them by leapfrogging. But now that I saw it in person, I realized that my idea was a bit naive. This trip to the back mountain , he indeed benefited a lot.
It is also a real battle, but it is very different from entering the sword forest. In the sword forest, as long as you have the teleportation jade tablet in hand, there is no pressure. The worst is to run away at any time, but here, you don’t even have control over the next moment of life or death. In their own hands, if it weren't for Lu Xuan's presence just now, I'm afraid they would have to pay a certain price even if they were able to escape in the end.
"Don't talk so much now. Let's put the seven-star mission aside for now. After completing the six-star mission, let's continue looking for the lightning ferret." Lu Xuan said.
Just when the four of them were about to leave, a roar suddenly came, followed by a series of roars. Xing Feng was the first to react and said quickly: "It's the voice of an armored bear!"
"Did someone attack the armored bear?" Xia Ye said in confusion. Just because they don't dare to attack the armored bear doesn't mean that others can't. With so many disciples of Fengjian Sect, if there are five or six sixth-level body refining teams, how can we deal with them? The armored bear is still no problem.
"Go over and take a look, don't expose yourself." Lu Xuan turned back first. To be honest, he really wanted to fight the armored bear, but he gave up because he was worried about the safety of Lin Xinyi and others. Now that someone is fighting First time, it would be good to go back and take a look.
The four of them turned back again, and the familiar one moved to the side and looked at where the armored bear was just now.
The roar of the armored bear was heard continuously, and the uneaten prey had long been thrown aside. The huge body kept jumping forward, jumping back, and rolling in the field... The seemingly heavy body was actually extremely flexible.
What surprised Lu Xuan and others even more was that there was a small golden figure that was faster than the armored bear. It circled rapidly around the armored bear, taking the time to step forward and attack from time to time.
The attack rhythm of the two beasts, one big and one small, was quite fast. Lu Xuan could barely keep up with the golden beast's attack speed. Xia Ye and the other three were completely dazzled, but even if they couldn't see clearly, they could still tell the difference. It can be concluded that the one with the upper hand in this battle is the golden beast.
Because although the armored bear's attacks looked terrifying, none of them hit, and although the golden beast's attacks were not many, they hit again and again, and every time they hit, the armored bear screamed in pain, Obviously, the armored bear's powerful defense was unable to block the attack of the golden beast.
Xia Ye couldn't help but swallowed. It was even more powerful than the armored bear. Could it be that the golden beast was a seventh-level beast
After continuous counterattacks, the armored bear finally found a chance. The huge bear claws hit the golden figure hard, knocking it away instantly. The battle in the field finally stopped, and the golden figure was knocked away. The figure turned around flexibly in the air and landed steadily, but it looked a little bad. Obviously, the armored bear's blow was not so delicious.
However, the armored bear was even worse than it, with blood dripping from everywhere on its body, and its armored skin had been scratched in countless places.
The two beasts faced off, and Lu Xuan and the others were able to take a closer look at the small beast. There was no doubt that it was a mink-like beast. There was a hint of gloominess in its small eyes, and it had golden fur all over its body. It should be It's very beautiful, but it was scratched in one place by the blow from the armored bear just now, and it looks a little embarrassed.
"Xia Ye, what kind of beast is this?" Lu Xuan asked intently, looking at the golden figure.
"This, this seems to be... a lightning ferret? But the color is wrong..." Xia Ye said with some uncertainty.
Lu Xuan was startled, Lightning Mink? Could this be their target lightning ferret? But if the Lightning Ferret was so powerful, comparable to a seventh-level beast, the deacon should have reminded them.
"It's the lightning mink!" Lin Xinyi said excitedly, "Xia Ye, you just don't read the book seriously. The ordinary lightning mink does have blue-gray fur, but there is a mutated species called the golden lightning mink, which is as strong as a seventh-level lightning mink. Beast!"
"How could such a powerful beast appear here?" Xing Feng couldn't help but ask.
Lin Xinyi continued to explain: "The golden lightning ferret evolved from the ordinary lightning ferret. It has stronger speed and attack power. I see that there is a trace of mottled color in the fur of this golden lightning ferret. It should have just evolved not long ago. I want to hunt some prey here and stabilize my strength before entering a more advanced area."
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes, "Sure enough, it took no effort to get here even after trying hard to find a place! Now that the golden lightning mink and the armored bear are fighting together, we can just reap the benefits. Not only can we exceed our quota, The mission also comes with a six-level top-notch armored bear."
