NOVEL NEXT Chapter 61: Don’t Use Idioms Randomly, Mind Your Manners!
Within the mountainous world, it already transformed into a land of frost. Everywhere was covered in ice crystals.
A heavily wounded beast maneuvered through the cold air.
But in the next moment, a massive frosty sword suddenly burst out from the dense cold air, ruthlessly pinning it to the ground.
Roar!
The beast growled lowly.
But as the cold air penetrated its body, it quickly turned into an ice sculpture, completely shattering.
Meng Changqing’s figure slowly appeared, landing in front of the beast’s corpse.
His condition didn’t seem very good either.
The upper part of his clothing was almost completely torn, leaving only tattered shreds hanging, and his skin bore numerous claw marks.
Fortunately, they weren’t deep.
They were just minor external injuries.
“It’s really like asking for something.” Meng Changqing took out new clothes to change into.
This beast was called the Silver Wind Purple Ferret.
Its expertise lay in assassination techniques.
Its speed was incredibly fast.
If Meng Changqing hadn’t elevated his “Sword Steps” to perfection and affected its speed with cold air, he would have had trouble keeping up.
But even so, his flesh was still grazed a few times.
“I need to hurry up and improve my body refining cultivation.” Although his offensive power was already very strong, when facing this kind of assassination expert, he still had to rely on his own defense.
To remain unchanged amidst myriad changes.
Thinking this, Meng Changqing walked to the jade platform. On the jade platform laid a box.
It looked quite large.
Meng Changqing opened it, and inside were two pieces of stone emitting a faint white light.
“What’s this?” Meng Changqing was immediately puzzled.
Up to now, he had encountered mainly pills and spirit herbs.
Stones?
That was a first.
“Is it ore?” Meng Changqing furrowed his brows slightly.
He picked up one piece and examined it carefully.
It looked like ore, but it seemed to contain a strange power.
“Anyway, I’ll study it later.” Meng Changqing put it away and turned to leave, ready to go to another opportunity point.
Not long after he left, two figures entered the mountainous world.
Both of them were tall.
Their bodies were robust and strong.
They were none other than Meng Changqing’s long-awaited brothers from the Shi family.
“Why has this place been visited too?” Shi Yao looked around at the gradually melting ice crystals. He reached down, picked up a piece, and stuffed it into his mouth, crunching on it loudly. “We’ve encountered three or four all the way here, and they’re all empty inside.”
“It should be the work of the same person. Those places all have some lingering cold air, just like here.” Shi Guang scanned left and right.
Perhaps feeling a bit thirsty, he also picked up a piece and started eating.
“This person is quite powerful, being able to kill so many third-level beasts alone.” Shi Yao felt like he hadn’t had enough and grabbed a few more pieces.
“Yeah, a strong one.” Shi Guang nodded.
Then his nose twitched as if he sensed something.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded.
He dashed forward and arrived at the jade platform.
Shi Yao quickly followed.
“What’s this…” With the box wide open, although it was empty, Shi Guang’s eyes lit up. “The scent of marrow stones!”
“Marrow stones!” Shi Yao took a deep breath. “Indeed!”
“It seems this is where the old man wanted us to come, but it’s already been raided.”
Crack!
“Don’t use idioms randomly. It’s seizing the opportunity first!” Shi Guang corrected with a slap.
“Is that so?”
“Of course.”
“Alright, you’re smart.” Shi Yao grumbled a few words. “So, what now? The things have been taken, should we go snatch them back?”
“Mind your manners. Mom said we shouldn’t raise our fists against our own people,” Shi Guang said. “We can exchange other things with him.”
“What if he refuses to trade?”
“He shouldn’t. For ordinary people, marrow stones are just ore with no use, but for us stone people, this stuff is much more useful than pills.” Shi Guang thought for a moment and said.
“Okay then.”
Who made his brother smarter? He could only listen to his brother in everything.
“Let’s go. The person probably hasn’t gone far. Maybe we can catch up.”
“Okay!”
The two immediately rushed towards the entrance.
—
On the fourth day…
Although the perilous secret realm was filled with powerful beasts, the ones entering were disciples cultivated by the Tai Xuan Sect after all.
They had a solid foundation.
If one person wasn’t enough, they formed teams. Thus, even the shallow red opportunity points were rapidly cleared.
At this point, almost all of them were cleared.
It’s just that when they arrived at the deep red opportunity point, they found it empty too.
Completely empty.
They assumed it had already been taken by those top-tier geniuses, so they hurriedly headed towards the last opportunity point.
After all, on the map, this opportunity point was more vibrant than those deep red ones!
It belonged to dark red.
Obviously, the difficulty was higher.
It shouldn’t have been taken yet.
Even though it probably had nothing to do with them, at least he could join in the fun.
In a secluded valley,
The ground here was fragmented and broken, full of deep pits.
There were remnants of true energy, as well as lingering demonic energy.
“It seems this place has also been taken.” Meng Changqing’s figure slowly appeared.
He surveyed his surroundings, feeling somewhat regretful.
But this was within his expectations.
How could he swallow everything alone?
The other top-tier geniuses didn’t come here to sleep.
Most of them had already broken through to the Sea Cleaving Realm.
“One shouldn’t be greedy.” Meng Changqing’s lips curled up slightly.
His gains had been quite substantial.
Nine deep red opportunity points, yet five of them taken by him!
There were also some shallow red opportunity points.
Whenever he passed by, he would clear them out.
So, in Meng Changqing’s storage ring, there were already many resources.
Even if he gained nothing else later, this trip wouldn’t have been in vain.
“Now it’s time to go to the last one.” Meng Changqing took out the map.
In the center of it was a point, darker than deep red.
Obviously, the beast guarding it must be extremely powerful.
So, Meng Changqing didn’t go when he just broke through to the Sea Cleaving Realm.
If he couldn’t defeat it, it would be a waste of time.
But now, he should be able to give it a try.
And he estimated that many people had already arrived there.
