Views:

Meng Yu ran away along the tree trunk that was slowly falling to the ground. At this time, Meng Yu didn't care about what was in front of him. He only knew that if he was overtaken by the beasts at this time, he would definitely die.

Fortunately, there are dense trees in the forest of monsters, and the sword hair beast's attack depends entirely on its speed and the spikes on its back, so the hunting speed of the sword hair group is greatly hindered.

And Meng Yu's agility was brought to the extreme. With his junior swordsman's grudge, although those sword-haired beasts were good at speed, they couldn't catch up with Meng Yu for a while.

Occasionally, a sword hair beast chased after it, and Meng Yu stabbed or slapped it with the long sword in his hand, and walked away as soon as it touched it, but the sword hair beast did not hinder Meng Yu's escape speed at all.

It was only when Meng Yu understood Aunt Mei's painstaking efforts to buy the long sword at a high price. If it was just an ordinary long sword, it might have been broken by now, and his solid foundation also allowed him to escape more and more easily, and gradually even escaped. Can take time to use magic to kill one or two sword hair beasts that are very close to him.

After just ten minutes, Meng Yu unexpectedly found that the sword hair beasts chasing and killing him had dropped to a dozen, and these sword hair beasts would never take a step forward no matter how urged by the beast king.

It is impossible to imagine what kind of fear these sword hair beasts encountered. They clearly saw a golden blade flying towards their back, and the next moment the golden blade drew an arc and burrowed into his soft abdomen.

Then he watched his companions fall one by one beside him. The powerless fear finally defeated the fear of the sword hero and beast king. They stopped and wailed at the fallen companions.

Jianhao Beastmaster also let out a wail, screaming at Meng Yu non-stop, but stopped taking a step forward, as if there was something terrifying in front of him, and then he gave up chasing Meng Yu helplessly, like a defeated general , and left in despair with the remaining ten sword hair beasts.

Meng Yu climbed up a thick trunk again. Only this kind of big tree can bring him enough sense of security. Sitting cross-legged on the branch, he began to meditate.

He was already sweating profusely from this fight, his mana had basically bottomed out, and he didn't have much fighting spirit left. The most important thing was that his mental power was exhausted. Don't think that those golden blade magics are very powerful. It's easy to control. If those sword hair beasts continue to chase, the final result is really hard to say.

An hour later, Meng Yu opened his eyes, jumped off the tree trunk, exercised his muscles and bones, and then walked the way he came. After all, there were many sword-haired beasts on the road, and those crystal nuclei were gold coins.

"One, two..." Meng Yu happily put the magic crystal into his arms.

Suddenly, Meng Yu, who was collecting crystal nuclei, felt the surroundings become quieter, his whole body felt chilly, and then his hair stood on end.

Without hesitation, Meng Yu gave up the corpses of more than a dozen sword hair beasts that had fallen along the way, and quickly ran back the way he had come.

Little did he know, it was his prudent decision that saved his life.

When Meng Yu returned to the small courtyard, it was already evening, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, Meng Yu walked into the small courtyard.

When Meng Yu stepped into the small courtyard, the setting sun was behind Meng Yu, slowly stretching the blood-stained shadow of Meng Yu.

"Brother Meng Yu, are you alright?" Li Hai, who was practicing sword in the small courtyard, saw Meng Yu like this, and came up to him in panic.

Don't blame him. When Meng Yu was chased by the sword hair beast, he had no time to hide from the branches and thorns in the jungle. At this time, his clothes had already turned into pieces of cloth, and there were traces of blood coming from these. Oozed out from the break.

The worst thing was his right arm. Because he couldn't dodge it once, a sharp thorn of the sword hair brushed against his arm. Even though he was wrapped in cloth, there was still blood slowly oozing out. , dyed the cloth strips bright red.

Seeing him like this now, it's no wonder Li Hai isn't worried.

"I'm fine, it's just some skin trauma, just a little bandage will be fine," Meng Yu said pretending not to care, but in fact, he was in terrific pain at this time. Needless to say, the wounds all over my body today.

But he was still very happy, touching the dozens of magic crystals in his arms with his left hand, it was full of gains.

"This...these are all magic crystals?" Li Hai looked in shock at the magic crystals that Meng Yu kept pulling out from his bosom and piled up on the stone table.

"Yes, there were more..." Meng Yu couldn't help feeling sorry for the sword hair beasts that fell on the road, and then thought of the feeling at that time, and he also felt chills all over his body. At first, he thought that the sword hair beasts were afraid of him. His magic did not continue to chase, and now it seems that this is not the case.

"How is Aunt Mei?" Meng Yu asked worriedly after handing the magic crystal to Li Hai.

"Aunt Mei woke up once in the afternoon, took medicine once, drank some porridge, and fell asleep again." Li Hai still looked at Meng Yu worriedly.

Meng Yu worriedly went to look at Aunt Mei's room, then closed the door gently, and then began to treat his wound.

"Brother Meng Yu, next time I want to go with you, how can I let you bear the danger alone." Li Hai looked at Meng Yu who was treating the wound, and said with self-blame.

"Stop messing around, how do you think my current strength is compared to yours? With your current kung fu, I can knock you down with one hand, and today I am almost alive. If you follow me, not only will you help If it doesn’t work for me, it will hurt me instead.”

Meng Yu couldn't bear to hit Li Hai, but he knew that if he didn't say that, Li Hai might not give up this idea easily, and he couldn't let Li Hai take risks anyway.

"Okay, practice hard at home and take good care of Aunt Mei. Aunt Mei has said that with your talent, one day you will surpass me. When that day comes, I will definitely not compete with you. What you need now is time Hurry up and practice hard, only when you become stronger can you help me."

Meng Yu patted Li Hai's shoulder, then touched the wound on his body, and couldn't help grinning.

Half a month later, Meng Yu couldn't help feeling reluctant to part with the sword-hair beast lair that he had swept away. In the past month, relying on his flexibility, he unexpectedly wiped out two sword-hair beast herds in a row. .

During the period, Meng Yu also tried to hunt other monsters, but not all monsters have obvious weaknesses like the sword-haired beasts. It is more troublesome to deal with other second-level monsters than killing ten sword-haired beasts. Of course, persimmons are I pinched it softly.

Meeting Meng Yu was considered unlucky for these sword hair beasts.

And when Meng Yu's magic cultivation also broke through to the level of a junior magician, it became even more handy to kill the sword hair beast. He admitted in his mind that a fist-sized air mass was enough for him to summon more magic golden blades.

However, he didn't dare to directly challenge a herd of beasts like last time. Instead, he drew out some of them each time and quickly resolved them. .

With a solid foundation, in actual combat, his swordsmanship has become more and more concise and deadly, and his speed and strength have increased by an unknown number of times compared to before.

The most improved thing is magic instead. After all, to kill sword hair beasts, more depends on magic. If he is allowed to hold a long sword and head to head with sword hair beasts, I am afraid that three or four sword hair beasts will be enough for him to drink a pot up. Now he can control five golden blades to attack flexibly at the same time, he thought, when this time is over, he will go to the Academy of Magic to learn new magic.

What troubled him a little was, where could he find such a quick way to make money after the sword hair beasts were all wiped out
