Endless Road: Asura's Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 17 Cave

In another area of ​​the Sky Crack Forest, a boy and a girl were walking through the forest. They looked to be about 14 years old and were dressed in pure white robes with eye-catching blue lightning bolts embroidered on the back.

"This forest didn't seem to hold what we were looking for. Maybe we should go to the nearby powerful families to inquire."The girl suggested.

The boy thought for a moment and replied:"If we could get the answer just by asking, we would have done so long ago. Do you think those families would tell us easily? The only way to know the truth is to find it ourselves."

Suddenly, a small object appeared in his hand, shaped like a disk, with complex runes engraved on the surface. He sent Qi into it, and the runes on the disk began to glow, and then gradually dimmed.

"There really is nothing here. Let’s continue looking elsewhere. As long as it is within a range of 30 kilometers, this disc can sense it."The boy said as he put away the disk.

At this time, a pair of eyes quietly watched them from above.

"rustle!"

The boy and girl immediately turned around and saw a beast rushing down from the tree crown. This beast had four muscular limbs, a thick tail, dark green body, covered with thick scales. Its back and head It was covered with huge spikes.

Just as the beast was about to pounce in front of them, a light suddenly flashed and split the beast into two. Its two halves flew past them and fell heavily to the ground behind them.

"This forest is full of these ferocious guys."The boy said contemptuously, put away his sword and prepared to move on, ignoring the beast. The girl nodded in agreement, and then followed the boy deep into the forest.

If Gu Ling were here, he would be shocked. The beast was easily killed The beast is named Tree Baluch, and its strength is equivalent to that of the later Mist Creation cultivators.

A week later...

Night falls, and the moon hangs high in the dark sky. Gu Lingsheng's fire flickers, reflecting his meditative figure. After several hours of meditation, Gu Ling slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"I feel like I am getting closer to the creative realm of mist."Gu Ling thought to himself, and then took out a piece of meat from the storage room on the right and roasted it on the fire.

Looking at the roasted meat, Gu Ling recalled the adventure of the past week. He fought with more than a dozen advanced-level beasts , every battle makes him improve in cultivation and combat experience.

"In a few days, I will be able to enter the realm of mist creation. Once these things were done, I could start heading deeper into the forest."Gu Ling thought, took off the barbecue leg from the campfire and took a big bite. He ate it hungrily, the juice dripping down his chin. After finishing the meal, Gu Ling packed his bags and fell asleep. The next morning, he fell asleep. , Gu Ling woke up early and took out the remaining food from last night. After a simple breakfast, he got up and started exploring deep into the forest.

"Today I want to be braver."Gu Ling said to himself. He turned to the right more than usual. Like last week, he stayed away from regular trails and traces of human civilization.

After walking for a few hours, Gu Ling found a head with an iron claw. Boars with tusked teeth. Although iron-tusked boars are not particularly powerful, their strength is equivalent to that of practitioners in the blood energy refining stage.

"The boar looked rather weak, but I heard Iron Tusk boar was delicious. Gu Ling thought to himself and decided to hunt the wild boar.

Although Gu Ling could quietly approach and hunt the wild boar before it found him, he preferred to make his prey alert. If it chose to fight him, Gu Ling will gladly accept the challenge; if it chooses to escape, Gu Ling can practice his body and footwork during the chase.

"Click!"

Gu Ling stepped on a branch, and the sound alerted the wild boar. The wild boar raised its head, saw Gu Ling, and then made a sharp cry and rushed towards him.

Watching the wild boar rush towards him, Gu Ling's face showed smile

"Bang!"

Gu Ling's punch collided with the wild boar's tusks, knocking the wild boar away. He immediately sprinted forward and hit the wild boar hard with another punch.

When the wild boar was knocked away again, there was another loud noise.. After rolling continuously for dozens of meters, the wild boar finally stopped and stood up unsteadily. Looking at Gu Ling, it showed a look of fear, turned around and ran away.

Gu Ling began to chase the wild boar, while using the five-step fist. Techniques for combat training. Although this martial art requires the support of Qi to exert its maximum power, Gu Ling is still working hard to imitate its movements and principles. Once he enters the creative kingdom of fog, he can quickly master the basics and continue to improve.

In After chasing for a few minutes in the dense forest, Gu Ling found that the wild boar suddenly stopped. This made Gu Ling very surprised, and he also stopped. The wild boar looked back at Gu Ling and then looked to the other side. , then turned and ran in the other direction

"What is it doing? Why not just run away?"Gu Ling was confused. He decided to continue observing the wild boar's actions.

When Gu Ling approached the place where the wild boar had just stayed, he discovered a small clearing and a large cave in the center of the clearing.

"There seems to be something in this cave that makes the wild boar reluctant to approach. Gu Ling thought to himself,"But no matter what, I will continue to track it.""

Gu Ling carefully walked to the entrance of the cave and leaned over to take a look. The cave was pitch black and bottomless."There has been no movement so far."Gu Ling said to himself.

He decided to go deep into the cave, holding a huge sword in his hand. Although the cave was dark, Gu Ling still bravely explored forward.

"Maybe there is a tempered beast body hidden in the cave. If I am in danger, I will use the amulet to resist. Gu Ling thought to himself, ready to face everything.

The darkness in the cave gradually thickened, and it was almost impossible to see his fingers. Just as Gu Ling was about to light the torch, a faint light appeared deep in the cave.

"Um? What light is that?"Gu Ling approached curiously, full of doubts in his heart.

Gu Ling carefully continued to go deeper. After a few minutes, the cave suddenly opened up, revealing a huge underground space. The cave was wide and deep, and the top towered into the clouds, which was amazing.

When Gu Ling When his gaze swept across the entire cave, he suddenly stopped, his eyes full of astonishment. In the center of the cave, a gorgeous flower bloomed quietly. This flower was as dazzling as a sunflower, but emitted pure white light. , adding a touch of mysterious brilliance to the entire cave

"This is... Mist Essence Sunflower! Gu Ling exclaimed.

The mist essence sunflower is an extremely rare flower that grows in a dark and humid environment. This flower is naturally capable of absorbing the most basic gases, thus emitting a unique white light. For practitioners , this flower is of extremely high value. Practicing in front of the Mist Essence Sunflower can help you feel the surrounding aura more deeply and improve absorption efficiency. However, due to its extremely harsh growth conditions and relatively single utility, this flower is extremely rare , unavailable to most clans and sects.

Gu Ling stared at the dazzling flower with obsession

"If I could practice in front of this kind of flower, I might be able to break through to the Mist Creation stage in just a few days. Moreover, practicing here helps to solidify my foundation and make it stronger. Gu Ling thought to himself.

He slowly walked towards the flower, concentrating on it. However, just when he was about to touch the flower, suddenly his whole bodyHard, short of breath. It turns out that ten meters next to the Mist Essence Sunflower, a powerful Mist Creation Kingdom beast is sleeping here. Because he was too excited about the existence of flowers, Gu Ling did not notice this ferocious beast. A night wolf sleeps beside the flowers. The body of the night wolf is as deep as the night sky. They usually hunt their prey at night. Depending on its size and aura, this Night Wolf is in a stage ranging from Early Mist Creation to Late Mist Creation. The one in front of Gu Ling was in the early stage of mist creation.

Although beasts are not as practiced as humans, they exude a natural aura that allows people to easily judge their power level.

Gu Ling stayed as still as possible, fearing that any slight sound would disturb the beast. He stood like this for several minutes, neither moving nor retreating. Nightwolf was unaware of his presence and was immersed in a sweet dream.

"Although I was stronger than when I fought the Black Panther, I wasn't strong enough to fight the beast."Gu Ling thought secretly in his heart. There was a conflicting look on his face.

"I'm no match for Nightwolf, but on the other hand, that misty sunflower is crucial to me."Gu Ling stared at the sleeping Yelang, and then clenched his fists tightly.

"I have to get that flower. If I encounter danger, I will teleport away immediately."Gu Ling made up his mind and began to approach the flower cautiously.

After a few minutes of slow sneaking, Gu Ling gradually approached the location of the flower.

"I was almost there, only a few meters away."Gu Ling was secretly happy.

Just when Gu Ling was about to touch the flower, the situation suddenly changed. Night Wolf's eyes suddenly opened and he stared at the surroundings alertly. It turned out that when Gu Ling was about to take action, it Sensing his presence, I ended my dream angrily

"Roar!"A deafening roar echoed in the cave, and Night Wolf's eyes were filled with anger. When it discovered that Gu Ling was trying to take away the flowers, it woke up angrily.

"Damn it!"Gu Ling exclaimed, hurriedly retreated, and rushed towards the cave exit at full speed, giving up all hope of getting the flowers.

However, when Gu Ling was only 10 meters away from the cave entrance, he suddenly stopped. Night Wolf seemed to notice it. With his intention to retreat, he quickly ran towards the entrance of the cave, blocking his way.

Gu Ling faced Night Wolf, thinking about countermeasures in his mind."Should I use the amulet now?"He took out the amulet and held it in his hand, then put it away after hesitating for a moment."No, this can only be used as a last resort. Once used, my adventure would be over and I would have to return home. He said to himself:"Let me try to fight hard. If I can reach the entrance of the cave, maybe Night Wolf will no longer love to fight.""

Gu Ling quickly pulled out the blue giant sword and held it steadily in front of him. He took a deep breath and assumed the strongest defensive posture he knew, preparing to meet Night Wolf's attack.

Seeing Gu Ling dare to provoke Himself, Night Wolf howled angrily, and then rushed towards him. Gu Ling had almost no time to react, Night Wolf was already close at hand, and the huge claws suddenly struck at his body. According to the previous encounter with the black-spotted leopard, With combat experience, Gu Ling knew that resisting this attack head-on would cause him to suffer heavy damage.

Just when the giant claw was about to strike him, Gu Ling suddenly turned his shoulder and raised the giant sword high to defend. Night Wolf's claws almost cut his The sword flew out, almost fatally wounding him.
