C100

Di Chen kept up with the white furred squirrel the whole way. It was quick, agile, and small. Di Chen had almost escaped from it several times.

"Freeze!" Di Chen bellowed, and the power of the scholar in his body surged like a tide, a ripple spread out from Di Chen's body, causing the surroundings to become motionless, even the floating leaves had stopped, and the squirrel had stopped, but one could still see its eyes moving.

Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief and slowed down his footsteps. However, just as he was about to walk over slowly, the squirrel suddenly moved, and quickly climbed up a big tree.

"Hmm?" Di Chen was startled, the squirrel was not locked in place? Furthermore, the squirrel had pretended to be frozen and had waited for him to get careless before suddenly escaping!

Di Chen immediately used the word "Slash" and shot towards the big tree, with a poof, the big tree fell down, and the squirrel also fell down from the sky. Just as Di Chen wanted to throw the squirrel to grab it, the squirrel suddenly opened its front paws, and glided forward as if it had webbed under the squirrel's armpits.

"Just what kind of demonic beast is this for it to be so cunning?" Di Chen thought to himself, this squirrel was only an ordinary demonic beast, but it could actually steal the Vermillion Bird Fruit from right under the eyes of the black ringed snake king, and more importantly, it could dodge his attacks multiple times.

Di Chen continued to chase after the white furred squirrel. The two of them had been running for an unknown amount of time, but Di Chen did not realize that he had already completely entered into the depths of Thousand Monster Mountain, as there was a high chance that there were level 8 or 9 Demonic King in this place. But in reality, Di Chen had not met a single one, because Di Chen had followed the white furred squirrel for a while.

"Let's see how long you can run," Di Chen wrote another 'cut' and floated towards the squirrel. The squirrel could actually dodge, but there were a few times where it almost died. At the beginning, it had a mocking expression, but after being attacked a few times, it revealed a look of fear.

Just then, Di Chen saw that the squirrel actually ran onto a big tree. This tree was at least three people thick and the trunk was iron colored.

Ding!

The word "cut" was like a knife as it struck the tree trunk. However, the tree trunk only left a shallow cut, and did not break. The squirrel then dove into a hole in the tree trunk.

"Hmm?" Di Chen was shocked. He had never seen such a sturdy tree, even his own formula s could only scratch out a single crack. One must know that Di Chen's formula s could destroy other people's martial soul.

Di Chen knocked on the tree trunk, which released a metallic sound. He did not know what kind of tree it was, but he could feel that it was extraordinary, and thought that if it was refined into a weapon, it would be extremely powerful.

But now was not the time to consider trees, Di Chen raised his head and looked at the tree hole, the hole could accommodate at least a baby, but the tree was too tall and there were not too many branches, Di Chen could not climb up, his heart could not help but cry out, he could not climb up and could not cut down the tree, how could he take back the Vermillion Bird Fruit?

Just then, the squirrel came out of the tree hole again. It seemed to know that Di Chen was not going up, and laughed at him while dancing.

"You still dare to look down on me?" Di Chen walked around the tree, and then carved some "Broken" characters on it. Although the tree trunk was tough, one could still make out a faint word "Broken" character carved on any part of the tree that he could reach.

"Using so many formula at once would consume at least 90% of my powers. I think it should be enough to destroy this tree."

Di Chen laughed, but just as he was about to ignite the 'break' word, a rustling sound came from the side. Di Chen's face changed, he had no time to activate the formula, he immediately fled far away and hid in the grass.

At this time, Di Chen saw a gigantic black ringed snake scuttle out from afar. It was actually the same black ringed snake from before, and he never thought that it would actually find this place. However, the scales on the black ringed snake's body were slightly damaged, and there were also bloodstains.

The black ringed snake King climbed up the tree trunk, while the squirrel in the cave was in a panic, but it did not leave the tree, it instead looked in Di Chen's direction as if it was begging for help.

"This squirrel is quite human-like," Di Chen said hesitantly. With his current strength, he definitely could not kill this black ringed snake, saving this squirrel was too dangerous.

The squirrel hopped back and forth on the tree and screamed at Di Chen incessantly, then it took out the Vermillion Bird Fruit from the tree hole and smashed it towards Di Chen.

Di Chen caught it, but he was not happy. Instead, his expression changed as the black ringed snake climbed down from the tree and walked towards Di Chen.

"Not good," Di Chen exclaimed. He immediately made a hand sign and shouted: "Break!"

Bang

Following that, a series of explosions came from the tree trunk. Because the black ringed snake was stuck to the tree trunk, these "broken" words were stuck to its body and exploded. No matter how hard the black ringed snake's scales were, they wouldn't be able to withstand this series of explosions.

It was blown away, and a few scales on its body became weak from the explosion. Fresh blood flowed out from its stomach, but it did not die, crawling towards Di Chen.

"Still not dead?" Di Chen knew that it wouldn't be easy to kill a Demonic King, even if it was injured.

Ding! Ding!

Two long spears struck the place where the black ringed snake scales fell off, causing it to scream in pain. Its body twisted and a tail whip landed on Di Chen's body, directly sending him flying out and heavily smashing onto a tree.

The black ringed snake then rushed towards Di Chen again, but this time, it was clearly slower than before, probably because it had lost too much blood and couldn't last much longer.

"The power of the scholar has been exhausted," Di Chen cursed inwardly. He had been injured by the black ringed snake just now, so it was impossible for him to kill the black ringed snake with just his brute strength.

"Oh right, martial soul," Di Chen suddenly remembered that he still had martial soul s, he had never faced any of these martial soul s before. After all, as a warrior who did not have any soul force, using martial soul s was a little burdensome for his body, and Di Chen did not want his own martial spirit of light s to be known by others.

Di Chen pointed at the center of his brows and beams of light shot out from his forehead. The light was like a sharp sword, it pierced through the trees and the surroundings, instantly lighting up the area, causing people to be unable to open their eyes, and after using the martial soul, he immediately fainted. He did not know what the result would be, he only knew that he had done his best, if he still did not kill the black ringed snake, he would be dead.

Di!

Di Chen suddenly felt a sweetness coming from the corner of his mouth. He licked his lips, moved his body, and finally woke up, his eyes slowly opened, only to find that the white furred squirrel was actually standing on his chest, holding onto a leaf with its front claws, and squeezing the juice from the leaf into Di Chen's mouth. He did not know what leaf it was, but all he felt was a refreshing feeling.

When the squirrel saw that Di Chen had woken up, it immediately climbed back up the tree, looking at him curiously.

Di Chen propped himself up from the ground and looked around curiously. Only then did he realize that the surroundings were already riddled with holes, as though they were pierced by needles. As for the black ringed snake, it was lying on the ground with blood all over its body.

"Is this martial spirit of light that strong?" This was the second time Di Chen used the martial spirit of light, but he did not know how strong it was, but judging from the looks of it, the destructive force was not weaker than normal Martial King Realm.

Di Chen wanted to prop himself up from the ground, but the moment he moved his body he felt excruciating pain, not because the scholars were exhausted, but because he had used his [martial spirit of light]. He did not expect that using his [martial spirit of light] once would place such a heavy burden on his body.

"Is the sky already dark?" Di Chen saw that the sky was already dark, and calculated that he had been lying down for at least an hour. It was very dangerous at night, so he could be considered lucky if he was not eaten while lying here for four hours.

However, Di Chen's entire body was aching right now, and there was nothing he could do even if he wanted to find a safe place.

Dong!

Just then, something smashed onto Di Chen's head, Di Chen noticed that it was a green fruit, it was about the size of a fist, Di Chen had never seen this fruit before, he raised his head and saw that it was smashed by the squirrel, the squirrel was still eating it.

Di Chen thought for a while before taking the fruit and eating it. The fruit was very fragrant and the flesh was crispy, he could feel a cold energy enter his body, and he could feel a sense of strength from the fruit.

"To think that it could actually heal my injuries," Di Chen immediately started to eat big mouthfuls, and very quickly finished all the fruits, his injuries were slightly better, and he could at least walk around.

Di Chen smiled towards the squirrel and cupped his fists in thanks. He then realized that the Vermillion Bird was still in his bosom and had not been taken away by the squirrel, so he prepared to leave.

Ji ji!

Just then, the squirrel called out to Di Chen. Di Chen paused in his steps and curiously looked at the squirrel: "Is there something?"

These were actually all some spirit flowers and herbs, some of them were extremely rare, and even the Sky Realm Academy did not sell them. The value of these things were not low, and what surprised him was that there were a few Vermillion Bird Fruit inside the cave, although these Vermillion Bird Fruit were not as big as the one in Di Chen's hand, they were all ripe, and then the squirrel jumped down and climbed onto Di Chen's shoulder.

Di Chen said in a daze: "What do you mean, you want to leave with me?"

The squirrel actually understood Di Chen's words and nodded.

Di Chen knew that some warriors could tame spirit beasts to fight for him, but he never thought that there would come a day where he could tame one too.

"Humans are very dangerous. Do you really want to go?" Di Chen asked curiously.

The squirrel nodded its head heavily. Di Chen smiled, then picked up the thing on the ground and left with the squirrel. He still did not know what kind of demonic beast this squirrel was, but from its previous actions, it was probably not an ordinary demonic beast.
