Chapter 117: A strange situation
But...
There were indeed a few problems.
Tang Yin was tired of trying to hunt beasts to increase his aptitude grade.
\'How is it possible that there are no panther-type beasts in this place? I\'ve only been able to hunt 8 of them and hopefully, I was able to raise one of my bones to brown grade, while they were able to raise two of them...\' Tang Yin thought helplessly.
To raise the aptitude grade of a spiritual bone, not only do you need to hunt beasts, but they must be beasts of the same race as the beast was before it became a spiritual bone.
That is to say, for Tang Yin\'s two bones, he would need to kill panthers, it would be much better if they were the tiger type.
But, in this place, there are very few of that type.
Su Lian had seen him complaining several times about this, so she smiled.
"It\'s because Young Master\'s spirit bones come from very special beasts, he will have to wait to enter the Great Mountain Forest." She said, and Li Xian nodded repeatedly in confirmation.
"True, in the Great Mountain Forest there is an immense number of beasts, although it is also very great." She said, and Tang Yin nodded to them.
He had also heard about that still it was pitiful what was going on these days.
"Forget it, I got tired of hunting beasts and not being able to increase the grade of this. Let\'s go to the next area, this is boring." Tang Yin said with a smile and started walking as they followed, but soon stopped.
\'What the hell?\' He thought and looked down at the ground doubtfully.
When he stopped, the girls looked at him doubtfully.
"Is something wrong, Young Master?" They asked, and Tang Yin frowned.
"There are dead people in this place... There are many, 20? No, many more, at least 80." Tang Yin said, scaring them a little.
Tang Yin then gripped his spear tightly and hit it to the ground at a certain place.
*BOOOOOOOOOM*
A big explosion rose at that moment, while a pile of earth rose upwards, startling Tang Yin.
\'Shit, it\'s much bigger than I thought.\' He thought and then did the same procedure, causing both girls to have to go take shelter a bit away from him, as the raised earth was too much.
But this time, an enormous hole was visible to the three of them, making both girls put their hands to their mouths in shock.
While, Tang Yin was simply a bit surprised.
\'More than 100? And they\'re all aspirants... There are even some from the fourth realm.\' Tang Yin thought and jumped into the hole to inspect the corpses.
After a while, he returned to the top with a frown but quickly covered the entire hole with dirt and motioned both girls to run from the spot.
"Young Masters, were they... aspirants, like us?" Su Lian asked with her deathly pale face, and Tang Yin nodded.
"Yes, most of them were killed from behind, possibly they were a great group who were betrayed by their peers. But some resisted and ended up unrecognizable. A slaughter of this level and them being buried all there, it seems there are several factions in these tests, but... There are some who died while using a strange poison to kill them." He said, surprising them, especially Li Xian.
"A poison? Could it be Snake Sect Poison?" She asked, and Tang Yin looked at her and nodded.
He had read about the sects in this place. He knew that was the name of a rather annoying sect from around here, which is an enemy of the Red Thunder Sect, and they use many strange poisons to fight and kill.
So, it should have been them.
"It\'s possible. Let\'s quickly go to the lightning area, this somewhat deserted area, it\'s the best place to put poison, so it\'s not safe to travel here." Tang Yin said, and both nodded without saying anything else, although they seemed to be thinking about many things.
Soon, they started running all over the forest and the occasional deserts, killing beasts quickly and going further towards meeting the goal.
With over 100 third-realm beasts in the various storage bags and Tang Yin finally ascending to the Ninth Level, they decided to stop hunting and simply ran to the next area.
During that time, no one else was found, but they did find corpses strewn everywhere and some groups buried in the same way as before. Which was strange to them, the carnage was too great in the first area alone, \'What the hell is going on?\' Tang Yin wondered.
Until, at last, they reached the lightning zone.
The Northwest Lightning Region, a place that surprised Tang Yin no sooner had they arrived.
\'I\'m sure this is caused by a high-level item, what do you think, administrator?\' Tang Yin asked in his head, and the administrator nodded at him.
[Yes, I think it\'s like that too. It must be quite high level; I didn\'t expect there would be such an item in this place and it would be associated with lightning] He replied, and Tang Yin nodded.
\'Yes, it should be a Divine item, but I don\'t know how high its strength could be. It seems like this place is full of treasures.\' He said in his mind with a smile.
\'Still, it\'s good that it\'s like this. This will make things easier for me. Lightning and my Heavenly Hammer are best friends, so there are bound to be some very good beasts for me here.
If I get my third Spirit Bone here, I\'d be almost certain to enter the Sect if I fight against those fifth realm guys, as long as they let me use my killing weapons, of course.\' Tang Yin thought with a smile and then looked at both girls.
"Let\'s go deep, but before that..." Tang Yin made two arrays quickly with his hands and put them on both of their chests.
"With this, we\'ll feel each other and know where to find each other as long as we\'re not too far apart." Tang Yin said.
"Okay, then let\'s go." Said both of them as they swallowed saliva and saw a large number of red lightning bolts falling in the distance.
When they fell to the ground, they almost pulverized it, how the hell were they going to get through here? They thought, so they took out their spiritual weapons quickly.
Tang Yin simply walked calmly as if this place was his home while skillfully avoiding these lightning bolts, although some of them fell within 10 meters of them, causing Su Lian to let out several screams continuously.
A while later, the two of them arrived at a mountainous place.
"Young Master... This is very dangerous, aren\'t we going too deep? Look at that mountain, lightning strikes every now and then and they look powerful, even my cultivation can\'t be properly employed in this place..." Su Lian said with some fear, sensing danger coming from all over the place.
Tang Yin then threw two things at them which they quickly caught with hesitation.
"We are in a precious place to cultivate and strengthen the body, how could we leave without gaining anything? Use those cultivation techniques to cultivate in this place for a few hours and then we will climb that mountain to attract lightning and strengthen our bodies." He said, startling both girls.
"You want us to cultivate with lightning? Attract lightning to our bodies!?" they shouted in fright, and Tang Yin nodded.
"If you don\'t want to, it would be a waste, but that\'s okay, I can look for another way to strengthen your bodies. I\'m just telling you, there\'s no better place than here to get stronger." Tang Yin said, causing them both to look at each other in surprise.
They weren\'t going to deny it, they were afraid.
The red lightning in this area is known to be the most powerful lightning on the continent.
Even if they are only in the periphery of this region and the rays are not that strong, but... Supporting them using their body? Is it possible to do that? They thought, but they looked at what they had in their hands and were surprised to notice that they were very powerful body cultivation techniques.
They were doubtful and then looked at Tang Yin.
\'He is accepting us if he gives us this...\' They thought, so even though they were afraid and swallowed saliva in a showy way, they still nodded, and without saying anything else, they sat down to cultivate...
It was clear to them what Tang Yin wanted them to do, so they said nothing more and simply began to work, bringing a smile to Tang Yin\'s face.
And just like that, 4 hours passed until they both finally finished, immensely surprised by the level of difficulty of such a cultivation technique, but in turn, immensely grateful to Tang Yin for giving it to them and he didn\'t say, as soon as he saw them get up, he started walking towards the mountain.
