After walking for another five to six kilometers, the mountain gradually became darker. There was even fog that began to appear on the forest path.

A cold wind blew out from the depths of the mountain, emitting an extremely gloomy and sinister aura, as if it could rush out from the mountain at any time. From time to time, various kinds of bones could be seen by the roadside, and it was unknown whether they belonged to Demonic Beast or humans.

"Roar!"

In the forest ahead, a series of roars came out from the bears, followed by a group of Demonic Beast s rushing out. They had inverted thorns all over their bodies, and their appearances were like wild boars, but they had a foot long horn on their heads.

If one were to be hit by this kind of Demonic Beast, it would be easy for the thing on top of one's head to pierce through, leaving a bloody hole!

"Sawtooth Pig Demon!"

Amongst the crowd, there were some people who recognized this kind of Demonic Beast, and hurriedly explained to them in fear.

The Sawtooth Boar Demon, a Level 1 Demonic Beast, had great strength but its speed was also very fast. Coupled with the dagger-like horn on its head, its fighting strength was equivalent to a peak Level 6 Martial Disciple cultivator.

"Humph, you are merely a Saw Skate, what are you afraid of? What are you waiting for? All of you, charge over and kill them!"

Zheng Loong impatiently commanded with both hands behind his back.

Even if the group did not like Zheng Loong's commands, they had no choice but to brace themselves and charge forward as the Saw Skates were already charging towards them.

In next to no time, someone was injured.

Once the fresh blood was shed, the Demonic Beast's eyes immediately glowed with a bloody light as they roared. Their sharp horns clashed against each other, causing everyone to feel extremely bitter.

"Little brother, the Demonic Beast are too powerful, you can't stop them, hide behind me!" The sturdy and honest looking Liu Meng used all his might to swing his plain blade, sending a Sawtooth Sow Demon that was pouncing towards Lin Yue flying.

The Sawtooth Pig roared and tumbled a few metres away, its four hooves kicking wildly, it quickly rushed forward again. Liu Meng cut it three or four times in a row, and finally managed to kill it.

A dozen disciples gritted their teeth and used all their strength to cut the monster down. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, they finally beheaded all of the Saw Skates.

After a great battle, these disciples' bodies were all extremely tired. Some of them even had their limbs damaged. They were miserable and in an incomparably miserable state.

However, after killing the Sawtooth Boar Demon, they took out the precious beast core from the boar demon and looked at the glowing, jade-like beast core in their hands. A trace of joy could be seen on their faces due to their fatigue.

Most of them kept their beast cores and prepared to sit down cross-legged to cultivate to recover from their injuries. In that previous battle, they had risked their lives, and quite a few of them had suffered serious injuries.

"A bunch of useless things. If they had obtained such a small amount of beast cores, they would already be complacent. The commotion just now should have alerted the nearby Demonic Beast. If they don't want to die, they should hurry on their way."

Seeing that everyone wanted to sit and rest, Zheng Loong coldly snorted, his face filled with disdain as he drove the crowd to continue their journey.

"Hey, can't you see that everyone is injured!? Why didn't you go when the Sawtooth Boar Demon was charging at you!? Right now, everyone should rest a bit, isn't that what it should be? ", Liu Meng couldn't help but stand up and ask.

"Hehe, just now, the Sawtooth Demonic Beast was charging over, I want to protect Miss Zheng Wan, naturally I can't come over to help. As for the two of you being injured, that is your own trash, you can't even beat a first class Demonic Beast, who can you blame!? Hurry up and get up. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for leaving you behind! "

Liu Meng became furious and shouted: "Zheng Loong, when we entered the mountain, we agreed to take care of each other. Now that we are injured, you want to escape by yourself?!"

"If you want my care, then get up and travel! Otherwise, you'd still deserve to die! "You can't blame me for that!"

Everyone shook their heads. Although they were furious, most of them were injured, so if there were more Demonic Beast s rushing out, they might not be able to beat them.

Everyone swallowed their anger and followed Zheng Loong's instructions.

"Brother Zheng Loong, you're going a little too far. These people are all from the same sect, how about letting them rest for a while?" Zheng Wan said unhappily as she knitted her brows.

"Senior sister Zheng Wan, I was afraid that they would alarm the Demonic Beast nearby, and cause trouble later on. "Moreover, as a cultivator, you need to be tired of living, what does this small injury count as, just bear with it for a bit and then it'll be over", Zheng Loong's attitude became a bit more gentle, and was rather polite to Zheng Wan.

After all, Zheng Loong was the one who had escorted her in name to gather the herbs. Even if he was being a bit excessive, he probably had a reason.

"Alright, but if we meet the Demonic Beast again, you don't have to protect me. We can just fight against the Demonic Beast together, I can protect myself."

Finished speaking, Zheng Wan quickly walked over to Liu Meng and the others, took out a medicine bottle from her body, and poured out a dozen or so pills that emitted a sweet smell, which she distributed to the injured disciples.

"This is a Spirit Pill!" Being able to eat a Spirit Pill, even if it was a low level Spirit Pill, was not an easy task. Everyone was pleasantly surprised, thanking Zheng Wan for her good intentions.

Zheng Wan walked to Lin Yue's side and glanced at him. Seeing that he was uninjured, Zheng Wan was prepared to walk over when she suddenly stretched out her hand and said, "Give me one."

Zheng Wan took another close look at Lin Yue, and asked: "Are you not injured?"

"I'm hungry."

"Hungry?" A trace of astonishment flashed across Zheng Wan's eyes. She had never expected that Lin Yue would actually say such a reason.

"Clang clang …" Lin Yue's stomach made two timely noises, and Lin Yue's face instantly flushed red.

"You …" The corner of Zheng Wan's mouth rose slightly. This disciple was truly interesting.

"Don't laugh!" Lin Yue felt even more embarrassed when he saw the corner of Zheng Wan's mouth twitching.

"Hehe!" Seeing Lin Yue's serious face, Zheng Wan became more and more interested. She suddenly laughed and covered it with her hands, but her eyes were still bright.

Only after a long while did she resist, passing over the entire bottle, clear her throat, and say: "There are still five pills inside, I'll give them all to you. But the effect of the Qi Strengthening Pill is mainly on healing one's wounds. "Haha!"

As she finished speaking, Zheng Wan still couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. She quietly sized Lin Yue up once, carried the medicinal basket on her back, and walked forward.

When Lin Yue saw Zheng Wan's expression, which carried the last trace of a pure, shallow smile, he felt very depressed in her heart. When she thought about how she said I was hungry, she couldn't help but feel a little funny for a moment.

"How embarrassing!"

"Pa." Lin Yue fiercely opened the bottle and directly swallowed all five Energy Strengthening Pills.

When the pill entered his mouth, just as he wanted to chew twice, it melted into liquid and flowed down his throat into his stomach.

Suddenly, a strong medicinal fragrance filled his lungs. His stomach, which was originally rumbling with hunger, instantly felt extremely comfortable. The burning pain in his stomach could even be described as a pain.

Lin Yue only felt his entire body being extremely warm, as if he was being exposed to the sunlight during winter.

"Hmm? Didn't she just say that the Energy Strengthening Pill couldn't cure the starvation? Why do I feel so much better? "

Lin Yue was wondering, when he suddenly felt that the Martial Soul s had regained their powerful pulses. The gray Martial Soul s that were originally only the size of a pinky finger nail seemed to have grown a little bit, becoming the size of a ring finger nail.

"The Enriching Qi Pill did not cure my hunger and fire, but rather made my Martial Soul grow stronger!" Lin Yue was instantly shocked.
