This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 88 It’s time to go home
Now Wang Liu and her three children are all in good luck, and even the mountain village called Hougou Village has improved greatly. Naturally, there is no need to worry about any accidents in the short term.

Zhuang Lin, Lu Jing and others did not stay in the village and left first on the pretext that they still had things to do. When Yang Tianlei and Lu Cheng, who had gone out to buy things, came back, the group left Hougou Village.

Of course, everyone in the village already knew that Wang Liu's orphan and widow would be taken away soon.
-
After leaving Hougou Village, Zhuang Lin and the other four significantly sped up their pace. A few days later in the afternoon, the five of them had already found the next monster.

There were no accidents this time, and Zhuang Lin didn't have to take action again.
-
In the evening, on an unknown small mountain, Lu Jing, Yang Tianlei, Lu Cheng and He Yuchen all used their best skills and fought with a burly wild wolf with weapons in hand.

This wild wolf is as big as a tiger. Not only are its teeth terrifying, but even its claws are not like those of a canine. They are as sharp as a big cat.

Four people fought against a wolf, breaking the nearby grass and trees and raising dust.
"Dang~"

Lu Cheng seized the opportunity and slashed the wolf's head with his sword, making a sound of metal clashing.

The recoil force made Lu Cheng's palm numb, and he took a few steps back. Then Yang Tianlei next to him immediately stepped forward and fired a shot, forcing the wolf to jump away.

"Iron head, iron brain, tofu waist, I'll attack its eyes and throat, you guys attack its lower body!"

"Okay!" "Got it!"

The four of them were full of fighting spirit. From the initial fear, they were now completely full of fighting spirit. The internal energy in their bodies seemed to be nourished by fighting and became more and more active.
This is a wolf demon, but we are already able to fight it to this extent, how can we not be excited!

Feeling threatened, the wolf demon suddenly jumped out and quickly fled into the mountains.

"Oh no, it's trying to run away!" "Chase it, we can't let the Master down!"

The four of them chased after him without saying a word, their blood boiling with murderous intent. In the wolf demon's perception, it was as if four balls of fire were chasing him from behind.
But the wolf demon was more familiar with the mountain road ahead, but when he was about to escape, he suddenly found it difficult to control himself and turned back at the mountain pass.
"Ouch——"

The wolf demon howled with all his might, and a mist rose from the mountain. There were also many wolf howls in response from the distance.
-
Halfway up a nearby mountain, Zhuang Lin sat on a branch of a pine tree.

Although the four people fighting the wolf demon below were at a certain distance, they were very clear in Zhuang Lin's eyes. He was leaning against the trunk of a pine tree with a bookcase on his back, holding the wooden sword Chi Xuan in his left hand, and holding a string of beads in his right hand, or to be more precise, one of the beads.

The wooden bead in Zhuang Lin's hand was slightly warm at this moment, and Zhuang Lin could feel all the actions of the wolf demon.

Zhuang Lin's magic is incomplete, so he naturally has to be more careful in controlling his magic power. With his almost minute control over magic power, it is naturally not a problem for him to manipulate the demon-controlling bead, and it must be more meticulous than Yang Ziang's back then.

This wolf demon's cultivation level is naturally higher than that of the giant monkey, but to be honest, it is still much lower than that of the giant snake, and it has not refined its transverse bone.

And if you compare them seriously, the wolf demon doesn't have the giant monkey's flexible hands and feet, and is not good at long-range attacks. Even if the two fight, the wolf demon may not win.

Death is inevitable, but under Zhuang Lin's control, it is just right to give it to Lu Jing and others to practice and build up their courage, and it also forces the four of them to unleash more potential "between life and death"!

Moreover, the four of them had padded some key parts inside their clothes with simple snake scale armor, so even if they were injured, it would not be fatal.

After experiencing a series of dangers, the four finally understood that the test the Master mentioned was serious and he really would not take action!

But the four of them also understood that since the Master said that they should be able to kill the monster together, then they definitely could!

Even in times of crisis, the four of them firmly believed that they could kill the monster, even if they were surrounded by wolves.

They fought from sunset until late at night, and from late at night until dawn.

The four of them fought to the death with the demonic wolf, and during the battle they killed quite a few wild mountain wolves that also had somewhat strange appearances. It was obvious that those wolves were also imbued with demonic energy.

Until the eve of dawn, the terrifying demon wolf finally fell under a large rock, covered with wounds.

The internal energy generated by "The True Scripture of the Tiger and the Thousand-footed Mountain" not only tempered the four people's muscles and bones, allowing them to increase their strength day by day, but also had other miraculous effects, so that some of the wolf demon's low-level illusion magic could not have much effect on the four people.

At this moment, the wolf demon was still breathing. It opened its eyes and looked at the four people in front of it. There was a human unwillingness in its eyes. At the same time, it looked far away in one direction, and there was an inexplicable fear in its sight.

From the second half of the night, the wolf demon knew that his death was inevitable. If it weren't for that power, he would have escaped long ago.

"Humph, this evil creature is really cunning!"

"When I came here, I heard that more than a dozen children were dragged away two years ago, and many people disappeared in the mountains. I think it must have been responsible!"

"Hey, still showing your teeth?"

"There is always a righteous path in the world. I don't think you have anything to be unhappy about!"

Someone said this, and then the wolf demon was kicked and turned over, and then stabbed with a gun, and everything in his consciousness gradually dimmed.
The four remained vigilant until the demon wolf died.

When the demon's body became stiff, the four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat nearby to catch their breath.

At this moment, all four of them were covered in wounds, and the scars looked almost as bad as those of the dead wolf on the ground.

However, some vital parts are protected by snake scales, so they are not seriously injured.

"Finally killed this thing!"

"Even with our current strength, it's still so difficult. If it weren't for Master, we would have died ten times when we encountered that giant monkey, wouldn't it?"

"Not to mention before, even this time, without the snake scales protecting me, I'm afraid a big hole would have been dug out of my chest long ago."

Thinking about it now, the four of them felt a pang of fear again, but the more they felt this way, the greater their sense of accomplishment became.

"Even some martial arts masters would be doomed to fail if they encounter such a monster without any precautions!"

"Ok!"

The expressions of several people also became more serious. They said this not because they were conceited, but because it was based on their experience after a night of fierce fighting. Moreover, they basically understood what they were going to deal with before they came.

Even though some martial arts masters are better than the four of them, when facing monsters, martial arts, weapons, mentality and even luck are all indispensable.

After a short rest, they heard the sound of light footsteps approaching. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Zhuang Lin approaching, carrying a bookcase and holding a wooden sword. They all stood up. "Master!" "Master, I'm glad you've fulfilled your mission!"

"We have already killed this beast!"

Zhuang Lin looked at the excited expressions of the four people, walked closer and nodded.

"That's right, Zhuang's efforts were not in vain!"

It seemed as if the sense of self-achievement brought by a night of fierce fighting was not as great as Zhuang Lin's words at this moment. The four of them were even more excited than before. They clenched their fists and couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.

Zhuang Lin looked at the scars on the four men's bodies, as well as the weapons with bent or blunt tips, and knew that the four men had fought to their limits.

"After last night's battle, you should all be aware of your own limitations. From now on, when you roam the martial arts world, you must maintain a respectful attitude. Of course, you must also possess the courage to forge ahead!"

The four of them were originally very happy, but after hearing Zhuang Lin's words, they had a bad feeling for some reason.

Sure enough, Zhuang Lin’s next words confirmed the four people’s guess.

"From today on, we no longer need to travel together. You can go on your own. I can deal with the remaining two monsters myself!"

"Master." "Master, I'm not seriously injured at all!"

"Yeah, that's right, me too. These are just superficial injuries. They don't hurt at all."

"Master, we are all fine. It just looks scary, but we are not actually hurt!"

The four thought that the teacher said this because he thought they were seriously injured, but this was obviously not the case. Zhuang Lin smiled and shook his head.

"I know you haven't suffered any vital injuries, but they are indeed serious. However, this is not why I decided to go alone. It's just that you waited too long and were too weak!"

Rather than going back and forth and explaining things, Zhuang Lin chose to just pour a bucket of cold water on them. After all, he had already trained the four of them to have big hearts.

The four of them were speechless for a moment.
"But, but Master, you said at the beginning that you were not sure!"

"Yes, we can help you a little bit together."

The four people's voices lacked confidence.

Zhuang Lin's smile brightened a little, knowing that the four people really cared about him, but there was also a sense of coaxing and self-deception in their words.

"By now, you should understand that I was deliberately hiding my true abilities. I didn't even take these evil creatures seriously. But you guys figured it out sooner than I thought. So there's no need to drag it on!"

Seeing that several people were about to speak again, Zhuang Lin raised his hand to stop them.

"I hope you remember your original aspirations. The world is vast, and there is no place you can't go! I also hope you remember your original intentions, to hold on to the right path and dominate the world!"

As he spoke, Zhuang Lin looked down at the demon corpse on the ground.

"If you encounter a demon again, don't try to be brave unless you are sure it is not very powerful. I am leaving now. We will meet again someday if we are destined to!"

Zhuang Lin said this without further ado. He waved his hand and leaped off the hill. After the four of them instinctively took a few steps in pursuit, they discovered that the Master had already vanished into the mountain with a few leaps.
Lu Jing and others stood there blankly, looking in that direction for a long time without coming to their senses, and there was an inexplicable sense of emptiness in their hearts.

"The master has left." "Yeah"

"Is the Master a deity or a person with extremely high martial arts skills?"

"No matter what, he is still the Master!"

“Hmm” “Is it possible that I just had a dream?”

"Hey, what are you doing?"

As soon as Lu Cheng said this, Yang Tianlei on the side made a gesture to hit him, and the former quickly grabbed his hand.

"I want to help you wake up. If it hurts, it's not a dream anymore!"

"By the way, the master should go back to the mountain village to pick us up, right? Should we go?"

"Forget it, if I do it on purpose, it might displease the Master."

"Too."
-
Zhuang Lin, who was worried about by the four people, had already taken off on the wind and flew to the next place following the sensation. As he said, since the four people had already entered the door, he would not take them with him.

Of course, it was mainly because Zhuang Lin's mentality had changed. Compared to the exploratory spirit when he first came here, he now wanted to go back quickly and study what he had gained this time.

In addition to studying the many classics obtained from Xi Miao, Zhuang Lin also needs to record the various insights he has seen, heard, and realized.

So what Zhuang Lin said was true, that it was too slow to lead Lu Jing and others.

After going to heaven once, Zhuang Lin's speed in riding the wind became even faster.

It took more than ten days to take four people to the first two locations where the monsters were, but it took less than half a day for Zhuang Lin to go find the last two monsters alone.

I found the first one at noon and killed it with one sword. I found the second one at noon, but I couldn't use the sword again.

These evil spirits only take advantage of the lack of information to do evil. If they really meet those who practice the righteous way, they will not be able to cause any waves at all.

But Zhuang Lin also knew that there was no shortage of powerful demons and evil spirits in the world!
At the edge of a swamp, Zhuang Lin stood on the top of a small tree, his body swaying slightly, and below him was a burning crocodile.

Zhuang Lin looked towards Wuling, then glanced at Xiangyang City, which was not very far away.

Come back next time to experience the prosperity of the ancient city. This time it’s time to go home.
