First Lord of Earth

Roar!

An ape with a height of more than two meters, a green face, fangs, and translucent silver-white hair.

A violent roar came from his throat, and he held a rotten wooden stake half as thick as an ordinary human's thigh in both arms, and swung it at the human opposite him who was much shorter than himself.

"bring it on!"

Xia Tian's eyes were shining brightly, and he didn't dodge or dodge, and he also waved his hands.

The two fists, like two powerful and heavy hammers, smashed into the half-rotted wooden pile that had been knocked down from top to bottom.

Click!

The thigh-thick rotten wood pile exploded on the spot.

Amidst the flying sawdust and smoke, the chest of the white-haired ape with green face and fangs was hit hard by Xia Tian's fist.

Boom, boom, boom...

Blood gushed out from the white-haired ape's nose. His huge body couldn't help but take a few steps back, crushing a pile of century-old ginseng and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!

[Water Ape, an eighth-level mortal creature, possesses the bloodline of the monster "Blue Water Heart Ape". 】

When Xia Tian woke up this morning, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had successfully reached the "Ninth Level", so he did not waste time, after arranging tasks such as "cutting trees, quarrying stones, and making cloth" for the people in the territory.

He summoned Wu Song and Hua Rong, and the three of them entered the "Hua Tuo Secret Realm" together.

Because of the increase in the number of people and the overall level, the last time he entered, only a few of the monsters he encountered were seventh or eighth level.

And the monsters encountered this time, except for a few species with larger numbers, are almost all at the eighth or ninth level, and even have the bloodline characteristics of monsters!

For example, the ape with transparent white hair in front of him has extremely rough skin and thick flesh.

In order to increase the challenge score as much as possible, Xia Tian broke an ordinary-quality plain knife with a pair of arms without using a golden weapon.

However, facing Xia Tian's fist strength that he had mastered after studying Zhou Tong's "Iron Arm Golden Sword Technique", he felt a little bit too much. He spurted blood from his mouth and nose, and kept retreating!

Roar!

Just when Xia Tian was about to pursue the victory, another eighth-level black demon-blooded tiger jumped out from the side and rear and jumped towards Xia Tian!

Whoosh!

However, an arrow with white tail feathers flew over instantly and hit one of the black tiger's eyes, causing it to stop instantly in pain.

And Xia Tian's figure had already stepped forward, kicking out his feet like thunder, using the expert-level "Yuhuan Step·Mandarin Duck Kick" to kick the "Water Monkey" in the chest, causing its bones to shatter and fall into a pile. Among the precious herbs, no more movement!

And when Xia Tian fought with the eighth-level water ape and black tiger.

Wu Song, on the other hand, singled out a male and a female, a nine-level giant bear with two fat bodies and fur surging like flames. He swung his fists and smashed the bear backwards.

Even if they are one against two, they still have the upper hand.

Two melee fighters are responsible for blocking, and one is responsible for remote reinforcements. In the center of the three positions is the "Hua Tuo Projection" who has reached the final critical stage of refining the medicine!

Phew!

Above the valley, four eagle-like creatures, all white with no trace of colorful feathers, were circling continuously!

Snow Eagle, a fourth-level creature, with the bloodline of transformed monsters!

Although they are only at the fourth level, as flying creatures, these snow eagles rely on their flexible flight and relatively small size to constantly try to get closer to the bottom during the battle. For the monsters, they are exuding a fatal attraction. The medicine furnace!

However, due to the vigilance and tacit cooperation of the three humans, they have yet to find an opportunity.

YoYo!

At this time, another eighth-level buck with camouflage green hair and antlers like branches came out of the jungle and flew towards the location where Hua Tuo projected the medicine!

Xia Tian and Wu Song were fighting with tigers and giant bears. Hua Rong immediately took up his bow and shot at the fast running green deer.

Phew!

In the sky, the Snow Eagle, which had been planned for a long time, suddenly launched an attack, like four white rainbow lights falling from the sky, heading straight towards the ancient medicine furnace in the center of the valley that continuously exuded a breath that made the blood of monsters boil.

"What a beast, I've been waiting for you!"

However, the next moment, Hua Rong suddenly changed his target, and three arrows appeared in his hand, all placed on the bowstring!

Buzz!

Then, the bowstring was loosened, and three sharp arrows flew out like thunderbolts and lightning. All of them accurately judged the snow eagle's flight path and intercepted it in the air.

In addition to being good at horseback riding and archery, Hua Rong is also very good at domesticating Haidongqing, known as the "God of Eagles".

You can know everything about the habits of hawks!

Poof, poof!

Two of the snow eagles were caught off guard in the air and were hit by long arrows. One was pierced through the heart, and the other was pierced into the head.

As for the third arrow, after penetrating the chest of a snow eagle, it flew through the air for a distance carrying blood and pierced into the belly of the second snow eagle.

Three arrows with one string, two birds with one stone!

"The "Five Animal Opera" taught by your Excellency is really a martial art worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

Even Hua Rong looked at the snow eagles that all fell to the ground, with a bit of excitement on his face.

Archers are different from other combat professions. They not only require a strong body and amazing arm strength, but also require a strong "spirit", extremely sharp senses and precise control of the body!

Before practicing "Wu Qin Xi", although Hua Rong could also shoot four arrows with one string, he would never be able to do so accurately.

It is even more impossible to shoot four arrows with one string and accomplish the feat of killing two birds with one stone at the same time!

With "Five Animals Play", Hua Rong has great confidence that he can complete the challenge of "Flying General Li Guang", who is famous among archers.

puff!

Hua Rong drew his bow and shot again, knocking down the green buck that was about to rush to Hua Tuo's side.

Then, he immediately stepped forward and used the arrow as the blade to cut open its body and take out some blood from the still-heated heart of the stag!

At the same time, Xia Tian and Wu Song also approached the bodies of the downed water ape, black tiger, and fire bear respectively. They also used arrows to scratch the fur and obtain blood from a specific part of their bodies.

Fire Bear, Black Tiger, Water Monkey, Snow Eagle, Zhi Deer...

From these five creatures with the blood of monsters and beasts, the fresh blood from their liver, heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys and other parts that symbolize the "five elements" in Chinese medicine theory was dripped into the medicine furnace.

Suddenly, the medicinal smell that had reached its extreme level made the creatures in the surrounding valley go crazy.

Suddenly, it all disappeared.

Refining failed?

Obviously not, but because the essence of this furnace of medicinal materials has been integrated into the "treasure medicine" that is being formed in the furnace!

After a while, when the fire completely dissipated, Hua Tuo took off the lid of the medicine stove.

The three of them looked out curiously and found that it was a dark mass inside, but the visual appearance was like colorful ointment!

[Elixir of Mortal Transformation (Gold)]

[Level] Metamorphosis

[Characteristics] 1. Reborn (strengthens the body, improves the physique, and enhances the ability to absorb spiritual power) 2. Soul refining and concentration (strengthens the spirit, enhances the soul, and enhances the absorption speed of spiritual power)

[Explanation] Take it after you reach your limit, and supplement it with the practice of "Five Animals" for digestion and absorption. There is a high probability of completing "transformation".

[Remarks] For most mortal creatures, especially those with impure blood and deficiencies in the five elements, this is a "treasure medicine" that is enough to change their fate.

"It's really good stuff!"

Xia Tian noticed the hint of the earth's will.

If we successfully recruit Hua Tuo, we may be able to mass-produce this precious medicine, and we can also rely on this thing to attract monsters and turn some possible crises in the "second fusion" into opportunities?

But, is it actually an ointment?

Xia Tian originally thought it would be like on TV. When the lid was lifted, there were pills that looked bright and extraordinary in shape.

"Medicines made from mortal-grade materials lack sufficient spiritual power and cannot be directly 'refined into elixirs'."

Hua Tuo projected with a smile and explained.

"However, if my friend needs it, I can help you roll this plaster into pills!"

"Uh, thank you sir, I'll just take the ointment and it'll be fine."
