In the end, the manager of Wanyaozhai bought the two century-old Blood Jade Ginsengs for 2,400 gold coins each.

After leaving Wan Yao Zhai, Xiao Feng swaggered over to the largest tavern in Qingshan Town and booked a luxury room to stay temporarily.

Meanwhile, the mercenaries who wanted to kill and plunder began to investigate Xiao Feng's information.

Since Qingshan Town and Wutan City are less than a hundred miles apart, people quickly connected Xiao Feng's surname with the Xiao family in Wutan City.

In addition, the recent incident of Nalan Yanran announcing the engagement caused quite a stir in Wutan City, and many people passing through Wutan City had heard of Xiao Feng's name.

After learning that Xiao Feng was the third young master of the Xiao family, some mercenaries were wary of the power behind him and gave up their idea of ​​killing and robbing him.

Some mercenaries, upon learning of this, became even more determined to kill and plunder.

Since Xiao Feng is out on a training expedition, he will definitely enter the Monster Mountain Range.

The Monster Mountain Range is fraught with danger, and people perish there every day. Who knows whether they were killed by humans or devoured by monsters?

Although those mercenaries couldn't afford to offend the Xiao family, as long as they didn't leave any other eyewitnesses when they killed and robbed, and did it cleanly, they didn't need to worry about being discovered by the Xiao family.

……

next morning

As dawn broke outside, Xiao Feng opened his eyes from his sleep and began to sit cross-legged to cultivate.

Early morning is the best time for cultivation. If there are no unexpected circumstances, Xiao Feng will cultivate for an hour every morning after waking up.

As Xiao Feng's breathing gradually became steady, the surrounding air rippled like the surface of water, and strands of battle qi, invisible to the naked eye, seeped out and rushed into his body.

Compared to the mid-level Xuan-rank "Raging Lion's Fury", the low-level Di-rank "Nine Transformations of the Xun Dragon" is more efficient at absorbing and refining battle qi, which also makes Xiao Feng's cultivation speed increase much faster.

Based on his current cultivation speed, it should take no more than five days for Xiao Feng to break through to the three-star Dou Zhe level.

Only when the sunlight outside the window illuminated the room brightly did Xiao Feng finish his cultivation, get up, wash up, and push open the door to go out.

As soon as Xiao Feng arrived at the lobby of the tavern, many mercenaries who were drinking and eating began to secretly observe him.

Xiao Feng seemed completely oblivious to the malicious stares he was receiving. He ordered a few common dishes and leisurely enjoyed his breakfast.

After having a hearty breakfast, Xiao Feng bought some supplies and then went to another exit of Qingshan Town, which was also the entrance to the Monster Mountain Range.

When Xiao Feng arrived at the entrance of the town, a number of mercenaries had already gathered there, beckoning other lone mercenaries who wanted to go into the mountains.

Monsters roam freely in the Monster Mountains; venturing in alone makes one highly vulnerable to attack.

Apart from the powerful mercenaries or the inexperienced newbies, most mercenaries travel with the main force when entering the Monster Mountain Range.

The mercenaries in Qingshan Town can be roughly divided into three categories. The first type is the well-organized mercenary groups.

There are three such mercenary groups in the entire Qingshan Town, each with around a hundred members, and most of the members are at the Dou Zhe level.

It is said that the leaders of the three major mercenary groups are all powerful warriors at the Battle Master level, and they are also among the most powerful forces in Green Mountain Town.

The second type of mercenary is the temporary mercenary squad. Their level of understanding and trust is far less than that of the regular squads.

The mercenaries shouting at the town gate at this moment belong to the second type of mercenaries.

The third type of mercenary is the lone wolf mercenary, who are usually quite powerful or have a trump card to save their lives.

To avoid harming innocent people, Xiao Feng did not join a group to harm others, but instead entered the Monster Mountain Range alone.

Walking through the silent forest, Xiao Feng scanned the shadows between the trees with a wary gaze, while clutching a small razor blade hidden between his fingers, ready to transform into the Armored Titan at any moment.

"Whoosh!"

A piercing sound suddenly rang out, followed by a green serpent that shot down from a tree branch above Xiao Feng's head and lunged to bite his neck.

Upon seeing this, the mercenaries hidden in the shadows immediately revealed expectant eyes.

The Green Wood Serpent is a relatively common Tier 1 magical beast. It is highly venomous and likes to hide in tree branches to ambush its targets. Many veteran mercenaries have also fallen victim to its venom.

If Xiao Feng were to die directly from the Green Wood Snake's venom, it would save the mercenaries a lot of trouble.

Amidst the expectant yet malicious gazes of the crowd, the Green Wood Snake viciously bit into Xiao Feng's neck.

"boom!!!"

Just as everyone was smiling happily and preparing to snatch the treasure that Xiao Feng had dropped, his body suddenly burst open like a balloon.

"Puff puff……"

Countless wind blades, each as thick as a thumb, shot out and tore the Green Wood Serpent attacking Xiao Feng into pieces.

Only then did everyone realize that Xiao Feng had already appeared several feet away. The Xiao Feng who had been bitten by the Green Wood Snake was clearly just a fake body.

Xiao Feng suddenly said in a loud voice, "The show is over. You've all followed me for so long, it's time for you to show yourselves, isn't it?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the mercenaries hidden in the shadows exchanged bewildered glances, plunging the surroundings into an eerie silence.

"Swish..."

Soon, some people couldn't hold back any longer. Several masked mercenaries emerged from the shadows and surrounded Xiao Feng from different directions, blocking all his paths.

The burly mercenary in the lead raised his tiger-headed broadsword and pointed it at Xiao Feng's nose, threatening, "Kid, hand over your storage ring obediently, and maybe I'll spare your life if I'm in a good mood!"

"Since you're unwilling to come out, then I'll have to drag you out myself."

Ignoring the burly mercenary's threat, Xiao Feng clenched his right fist and shouted in a melodramatic tone, "Giant power sealed within me! In the name of Xiao Feng, I command you: Release the seal!!!"

???

The mercenaries hidden in the shadows looked puzzled. Was this guy out of his mind?

Before the doubts on everyone's faces could dissipate, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from Xiao Feng's body.

"boom!!!"

With a terrifying roar, a colossal creature, over five zhang tall, appeared out of thin air in everyone's sight.

Chapter 19 Second Simulation

It was a giant about fifteen meters tall, with a bluish-black body covered in a thick layer of blue stone armor.

Those blue stone armors, more than half a meter thick, not only covered the giant's limbs and torso, but also the relatively vulnerable joints and neck.

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Looking up at the armored giant that resembled a small mountain, the burly mercenary, who had just been fierce and menacing, was so frightened that his legs trembled and he didn't even notice when he dropped his tiger-headed broadsword.

Xiao Feng, who was located on the back of the Armored Titan's neck, felt as if he were soaking in a warm and comfortable hot spring, and his field of vision suddenly rose a lot.

From Xiao Feng's current perspective, the burly mercenary, who was originally nearly two meters tall, now looked like a kitten.

Xiao Feng, who had just transformed into the Armored Giant, tried to raise his right foot and kick at the burly mercenary.

Because the burly mercenary and the armored giant were less than five meters apart, there was no time for him to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the giant blue stone foot grew larger and larger in his vision.

"boom!!!"

The burly mercenary was kicked away by the Armored Titan like a football, utterly powerless, and crashed into the dense jungle.

"Rumble..."

Under the immense force of the burly mercenary's impact, several large trees, each as thick as a water bucket, were snapped in half, causing a deafening roar.

"Monster..."

The other mercenaries, upon witnessing this scene, paled and fled in terror.

"Since you're here, let's all stay!"

Xiao Feng looked down at the mercenaries who were scurrying around like rats, expressionless, and raised his big foot to stomp on them.

Although the Armored Titan is relatively poor in agility, it is still comparable to other intelligent Titans, and its speed is much faster than the mercenaries present.

"Puff puff……"

Under Xiao Feng's control, the Armored Titan transformed into a reaper who reaped lives. With each step, it took away a mercenary, leaving behind a huge footprint more than half a meter deep and a meat patty that was no longer recognizable as human.

"What...what is that?!"

"A stone giant? Could it be some kind of humanoid monster?"

"Oh no! It's coming this way..."

The Armored Titan's battle caused such a commotion that it quickly alerted the other mercenaries in Green Mountain Town.

Seeing the Armored Giant approaching Qingshan Town, everyone was on high alert, and even the leaders of the three major mercenary groups were alarmed.

"Zizzizi..."

Just as everyone was solemnly preparing to meet the Armored Titan's first attack, the Armored Titan suddenly stopped, and a large amount of white mist gushed out from the gaps in its blue stone armor.

After the white mist slowly dissipated, everyone was surprised to find that the imposing blue stone giant had vanished without a trace.

After a long while, everyone finally came to their senses and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had been given a second chance at life.

Based on everyone's experience in hunting magical beasts, although powerful magical beasts are not necessarily large in size, large magical beasts are usually quite strong.

That humanoid magical beast that was over five zhang tall was at least a third-tier magical beast, and possibly even a fourth-tier magical beast.

If that blue stone giant really broke into Qingshan Town, the mercenaries present would have no ability to stop him, and the entire Qingshan Town could be destroyed.

After waiting for more than half an hour, someone finally couldn't contain their curiosity and rushed towards the place where the Armored Titan had disappeared.

When those people arrived near the battlefield, all they saw were huge footprints, dozens of mangled pieces of flesh, and dozens of large trees lying in disarray.

Based on the news that Xiao Feng had just entered the Monster Mountain Range, some people quickly guessed that the mercenaries who were trampled to death by the giants were probably the mercenaries who wanted to kill and plunder.

Of course, no one doubted that the Armored Giant was Xiao Feng in disguise. Everyone just thought that Xiao Feng and his companions were unlucky and had just encountered a terrifying humanoid monster.

Many people believe that Xiao Feng is dead, and it is highly likely that he is among those meat patties that are indistinguishable from one another.

In order to seize the storage ring that Xiao Feng might have left behind, the mercenaries also began to scramble for the meat patties, causing another chaotic scene.

Meanwhile, Xiao Feng, the culprit, entered the outer area of ​​the Monster Mountain Range and began searching the cliffs closest to Qingshan Town.

According to the original plot, there is a cave left by a powerful Dou Wang on a cliff near Qingshan Town. Inside, there are not only many precious spiritual herbs, but also a fragment of a map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
