Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 172 Team formation
"Captain Duan is an experienced team leader, and the success rate of the missions he handles is among the best in the group!" Yi Xueer used voice transmission to introduce Captain Duan to Li Zhen.

The reason why he didn't make any sound was that he didn't want to affect Captain Duan who was ready for battle.

Every time Captain Duan advanced a certain distance, he would look around for something, then pick it up and examine it.

Li Zhen didn't see anything at first, but as the team went deeper and deeper, they didn't encounter any second-level monsters. It can be judged that Captain Duan was avoiding the second-level monsters through some means.

Of course, it is impossible to completely avoid the second-level monsters. The appearance of a second-level mid-stage Wind-Chasing White Wolf blocked the team's progress.

"Freshmen stay where you are!" Captain Duan instructed, and with a wave of his hand, the spiritual flying sword shot towards the Wind-Chasing White Wolf.

The other four students cooperated well with each other. They cast different spells, aiming to slow down the Wind-Chasing White Wolf.

Several second-level spells hit the Wind-Chasing White Wolf, causing various negative states to appear on the Wind-Chasing White Wolf. White frost covered the entire body of the Wind-Chasing White Wolf. Vines wrapped around the four legs of the Wind-Chasing White Wolf. The mud on the Wind-Chasing White Wolf's body turned into fine sand. The Wind-Chasing White Wolf, whose entire body was restricted, slowly sank into the fine sand.

The Wind-Chasing White Wolf struggled desperately. The negative state imposed on it was not stable. Considering its strength, it would take at most two breaths to break free.

But when Captain Duan was in the negative state for two breaths, his spiritual flying sword pierced through the open mouth of the Wind-Chasing White Wolf and went straight into his abdomen.

If the Wind-Chasing White Wolf's entire body had not been restrained, no matter how well Captain Duan controlled the flying sword, he would not be able to attack the Wind-Chasing White Wolf's mouth.

Even Li Zhen was stunned by this type of attack. He had never expected such coordination.

Yes, this is an example of excellent cooperation between teams. If it were a head-on battle, even though Captain Duan's side had the advantage in numbers, it would not be possible to resolve the battle so easily.

"We're lucky to get a complete white wolf skin!" Captain Duan said with a smile as he took back the spiritual flying sword.

This mid-stage second-level white wolf skin can be made into a mid-grade second-level robe if a good weapon refiner is found.

A student in the early foundation-building stage in the team stepped forward and began to decompose the body of the Wind-Chasing White Wolf. His technique was very good and he stripped off the entire wolf skin in its entirety.

Then they extracted the wolf's tendons and removed its fangs, taking away all the valuables from the corpse.

"Let's move on!" Captain Duan waved his hand and said after dealing with the body of the Wind-Chasing White Wolf.

"Um, are we just going to leave this wolf corpse like that?" Li Zhen asked.

"You want to take the wolf corpse back to sell? Without those materials, the wolf corpse is of little value!" Yi Xueer reminded softly.

"Take it if you want it!" Captain Duan looked disdainful.

"Thank you, I just need some meat!" Li Zhen said without caring about his attitude.

He patted the spirit beast bag at his waist and the snow leopard cat was released.

The snow leopard cat is in a dormant state in the spirit beast bag, which reduces its own consumption and the number of times it eats.

However, this does not mean that the snow leopard cat does not need to eat at all. If you want to improve the strength of the snow leopard cat, you need to let it eat more food.

Li Zhen had forgotten to prepare food for the snow leopard cat. At this time, there was ready-made second-stage mid-stage flesh and blood, which was just right for the snow leopard cat.

The snow leopard cat came to the body of the Wind-Chasing White Wolf, opened its mouth, bit off a large piece of meat, and ate it up voraciously.

This large piece of meat was almost as big as its body, and it was eaten up without any visible change to its body.

"Meow!" The snow leopard cat called out to Li Zhen, with a hint of complaint in its voice.

Li Zhen could hear where the snow leopard cat's dissatisfaction came from. It disliked Li Zhen for keeping it in the spirit beast bag for too long.

Li Zhen reached out and patted his shoulder, and the snow leopard cat jumped lightly onto his shoulder.

"What a cute snow leopard cat! You actually contracted a mid-stage second-order snow leopard cat!" Yi Xueer said in surprise.

At this time, she couldn't take her eyes off the snow leopard cat. Even though she came from a good family, it was not easy to get a satisfactory spiritual beast.

Especially for monsters like snow leopard cats, which are almost similar to pets and have powerful strength, they are even more difficult to obtain, and generally, successful contracts will not be sold easily.

Captain Duan was not attracted by the appearance of the snow leopard cat, but he was very satisfied with the addition of a mid-level second-stage fighter to the team. If they really encountered big trouble, a mid-level second-stage fighter would definitely be a great help.

This made his gaze towards Li Zhen become much gentler. Before, he thought Li Zhen was a burden, but now Li Zhen has value and can become a member of the team.

"It was injured when I met it. I was lucky enough to succeed with just a second-level contract!" Li Zhen said the words he had prepared long ago.

Although it is a bit bizarre, there are many more bizarre things in the various versions of the fairyland story, and some are even more exaggerated.

"If you get another spiritual beast in the future, transfer one to me. I am willing to pay a high price!" Yi Xueer said to Li Zhen with expectant eyes.

She also knew that the chance of contracting another spirit beast was slim, but she was thinking, what if? In her eyes, Li Zhen was the kind of person who was particularly lucky.

Just look at Li Zhen, he is already at the second level of body refining at a young age. The success rate of advancing to the second level of body refining is extremely low. It shows how lucky he is to have succeeded.

"Let's talk about it when we really meet!" Li Zhen replied with a smile.

If he wasn't afraid of shocking the world, he could really contract many spirit beasts and sell them.

With his current strength, it is not difficult for him to contract a mid-stage second-order monster. He can contract as many mid-stage second-order monsters as he has second-stage contracts. The really difficult part is finding enough mid-stage second-order monsters.

Continuing on their journey, the snow leopard cat stood majestically on Li Zhen's shoulder, its eyes slightly narrowed and its ears gently twisted.

"Meow!" After walking for a distance, the snow leopard cat suddenly pointed in a direction with its left front paw and called softly.

Without waiting for Li Zhen to react, Captain Duan's spiritual flying sword flew out first and launched an attack in the direction he pointed.

A black shadow jumped out from the grass at an extremely fast speed. The spiritual flying sword could not catch up with it. After it jumped into the shadow of a big tree, it disappeared.

"Let it run away. It's a dark monster that can use shadows to perform shadow escape!" Captain Duan shook his head.

"This snow leopard cat can warn of danger, which is a rare ability even among snow leopard cats!" Yi Xueer praised the snow leopard cat.

The snow leopard cat does not obtain early warning of danger through some metaphysical means, but rather through analysis and judgment of information obtained from a variety of super senses.

It sounds complicated, but it is actually an instinct that can be used without any learning.

"After this, the number of dark monsters will increase, so be careful not to get ambushed!" Captain Duan warned.

If the Snow Leopard Cat had not discovered the hidden dark monster in advance, the dark monster would have easily launched a surprise attack on the target passing by with its dark abilities.

If they were to be ambushed by a dark monster, the only ones in the team who could block the attack would be the two students in the middle stage of foundation building.

"With the snow leopard cat here, dark monsters can no longer get close!" Yi Xueer couldn't forget to praise the snow leopard cat as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Let's go!" Captain Duan waved his hand.

Li Zhen and Yi Xueer still stayed in the middle of the team and were protected by the team members. Their protection before was not sincere, but this time the team members were more attentive.

It’s because snow leopard cats have early warning capabilities, which, at least in this mission, allowed them to reduce the approach of danger.

"We are two hundred kilometers away!" Li Zhen checked his ID bracelet and reminded himself.

Although his voice was not loud, everyone present was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and could hear what he meant clearly.

Two hundred kilometers away, you may encounter a late-stage second-order monster at any time, not to mention a third-order big monster. If you really encounter a third-order big monster, escaping back will be a luxury.

Captain Duan opened a map on his retina and started looking at it.

"Our mission target is over here. We must not approach that direction. That is the lair of the third-level monster 'Wind-Calling and Moon-Chasing Dragon Beast'!" Captain Duan pointed in two directions and explained.

When Li Zhen heard the 'Wind-Calling Moon-Chasing Dragon Beast', his heart couldn't help but move slightly, and a crazy idea arose in his mind.
