As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out, completely disregarding his injuries and immediately resorting to desperate moves.

The person opposite was terrified, retreating while shouting, "Help me!"

The soldiers of Tubang City heard their commander's cry for help and were about to come to his aid, but the soldiers of Dawn City were not so willing and launched a fierce attack. In an instant, several people from Tubang City died.

Just as he was about to kill the commander, Chen Baima suddenly leaped backward. As he left, several sharp arrows pierced the air and instantly pierced the spot where he had been standing.

A gleam of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Tu Bang City commander, and he shouted, "But it's an ally of Nan Yue City! Ma Zhe of Tu Bang City, thank you for saving my life!"

"Friends of Nanyue City, if you help me kill these thieves from Shuguang City, I, Ma Zhe, will reward you handsomely."

After saying that, he scrambled over there.

Chen Baima looked at the people of Nanyue City with a gloomy expression, snorted coldly, and said, "Since you people of Nanyue City want the spirit mine in this valley, then I'll give it to you."

After saying that, he roared, "Retreat!"

The people of Dawn City immediately led the wounded and retreated quickly.

The leader of Nanyue City did not order a pursuit, but instead looked meaningfully at the people of Tubang City.

During the retreat, one of his subordinates said indignantly, "The people of Nanyue City are really despicable. We were just about to take over that spirit mine."

Another person asked in confusion, "Governor, why did you tell the people of Nanyue City about the spirit mine before you left? The people of Tubang City certainly wouldn't tell anyone. If we go back and ask for reinforcements, we might still have a chance."

Chen Baima said wearily, "Tu Bang City and Nan Yue City are not a united front either. Everyone wants to monopolize such a valuable resource as spirit ore."

The subordinate suddenly realized: "So, the garrison commander wants them to kill each other, which only benefits those bastards in Nanyue City. But in this way, our brothers' revenge can be considered complete."

As soon as Chen Baima spoke, Ma Zhe knew something was wrong. He immediately said, "This spirit mine belongs entirely to your Nanyue City. Consider it payment for saving us."

The leader of Nanyue City smiled slightly: "No need to be so polite. We are allies. Let my brothers heal your injuries first. We can talk about the spirit mine later."

Ma Zhe breathed a slight sigh of relief and walked towards his own people. As soon as he turned around, he felt a pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a sword tip piercing through his heart.

"you……"

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground with a thud. Ma Zhe never understood why this happened, even in his death.

When the people of Nanyue City saw their leader make a move, they rushed forward and cut down the already exhausted soldiers of Tubang City.

The leader drew his sword, wiped it clean on Ma Zhe's body, and said coldly, "This spirit mine originally belonged to me. What right do you have to say such things!"

.. ......... 0

The leader casually beckoned to one of his subordinates, "Go back and tell the city lord to send more people to mine the spirit mines here. Be quick!"

"Yes, sir! Commander!"

The subordinate darted away in a flash.

Less than three minutes later, the subordinate came running back, panting, and said with a look of terror on his face.

"Commander, something terrible has happened!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the commander saw gray wolves emerge from the surrounding woods, growling. Each of these wolves was the size of a calf, with teeth like sharp daggers in their mouths, and their green eyes revealed a deep greed.

The leader's heart sank. These giant wolves were all at the Transformation Realm level, and there were even quite a few ferocious beasts at the Gang Realm level.

At this moment, the wolf pack parted to make a path, and a small white wolf emerged, its eyes revealing a hint of mockery in a human-like way.

"Half-step Grandmaster..." A helpless bitter smile appeared on the leader's lips. He knew that things would definitely not end well today. He drew his longsword and faced the wolf pack.

The white wolf let out a long howl, and the pack surged towards them like a tidal wave.

Chapter 354: Return (5)

Chen Baima and his group ran quickly through the forest.

Suddenly he stood still, and a tremendous tremor came from the direction of the valley he had just come from.

Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked in that direction in astonishment.

"Could it be that the people of Nanyue City and the people of Tubang City have started a fight?"

"No, the people of Tubang City are already at their last gasp; they couldn't possibly have made such a big commotion."

"Even though we're hundreds of miles apart, the tremors are still so clear. There must be some powerful figures fighting."

Chen Baima closed his eyes and carefully sensed the situation. He said in a deep voice, "They are demonic beasts, and there are quite a few of them. Let's go quickly and avoid getting caught in the crossfire."

Everyone shut their mouths and quickened their pace back to the city.

In the vast forest of "290", monsters are the true rulers. Some monsters have an extremely strong sense of territory, especially in the air, which is the territory of birds. Therefore, ordinary people in the Dark Night Forest will not fly in the air, as it is an extremely dangerous thing.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

At this time, in a forest thousands of miles away from Chen Baima.

Qin Wu looked at the lake in front of him with great joy. He took out a map and carefully compared it with the map, then excitedly said, "I'm finally coming back!"

Three months later, he finally found his way home.

At this moment, Qin Wu was in a terrible state, his clothes were tattered beyond repair, and if it weren't for the few sets of clothes he had in his storage ring, he would have run naked long ago.

During those three months, he wandered around like a headless fly. Although the Dark Forest was fraught with danger, it also presented many opportunities.

For example, along his journey, he had killed many demonic beasts and found many rare spiritual herbs in their lairs. The beast skins could be made into leather armor, and the beast meat could increase one's qi and blood, making it a great tonic for martial artists. If it weren't for the limited space in his storage ring, he would really want to bring back all the demonic beasts he had killed.

However, he still narrowly escaped death twice. Once, he was collecting fresh water by the river when a giant python as thick as a water bucket suddenly jumped out of the water. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been dragged into the water. The python then relentlessly chased him for three days. Finally, he managed to escape the pursuit only after advancing to the second level of the Silent Technique and even concealing his vital signs.

On another occasion, he accidentally wandered into the territory of a master-level demon beast. Several miles away, a roar from the beast caused him to cough up blood and become injured.

Qin Wu reflected on his experiences over the past three months and was filled with emotion. He then opened the system to take a look.

Host: Qin Wu

Martial Arts Points: 630,000

Cultivation level: Late stage of Transformation Realm

Secret Techniques: Cloud and Smoke Lightness Skill (Third Level), Five Elements Spear Technique (Fifth Level), Silent and Unseen (Second Level)

Treasures: Storage Ring (Level 2), Demon-Slaying Refining Wheel Spear

Looking at his points, Qin Wu couldn't help but sigh and say, "I need to think of a way; I simply don't have enough points to spend."

Looking at the markings on the map, he felt a surge of excitement. "I'll be able to see living people in just half a day. I've been dealing with monsters for the past few months."

Suddenly, he sensed a faint killing intent coming from the forest. Without thinking, he dodged behind a large tree, and several long, jet-black arrows immediately appeared where he had been standing.

With a "thud," an arrow struck the giant tree where he was hiding. The immense force shook the tree, and leaves rustled to the ground.

Then a dozen or so figures quickly surrounded them.

Qin Wu sensed something was wrong. If he were surrounded, he would be finished. But if he went out, he would be exposed to the enemy's archers. He gritted his teeth, suddenly exerted force with his feet, and rushed out like a ghost.

"Hurry up! Don't let him run away!"

The people behind shouted loudly, "We've been here for three whole months just for Qin Wu. Now that we've finally seen him alive, how can we let him go so easily?"

While escaping, Qin Wu combined the Cloud Smoke Lightness Skill with the Snake Form from the Twelve Hong Hammers. The archers behind him kept firing arrows, but they couldn't hit him. They felt that Qin Wu had become a slippery eel, and his movement was unpredictable...

Suddenly, Qin Wu disappeared after passing through a thick patch of grass.

The leader paused and said, "Go in groups of three, don't be alone, he must still be nearby."

The spiritual power of the Gang Jin stage spread out like a tide. At this moment, Qin Wu concealed all his aura and hid under a pile of leaves, completely merging with the surrounding environment.

At this moment, a black-clad warrior wielding a longbow cautiously approached, protected by two people. Qin Wu held his breath, and when the archer was still three meters away from him...

Qin Wu suddenly exerted his strength, using the Five Elements Spear Technique and the Crushing Fist.

The archer's hair stood on end instantly. He instinctively grabbed his longbow and used it to block in front of him, then quickly retreated. But Qin Wu had already become one with his spear and charged in front of him. With a flick of his spear, he knocked the longbow away.

The two men beside him instantly attacked, one with a punch and the other with a sword, but Qin Wu ignored them completely. To the archer's horrified gaze, he pierced his chest with a spear.

At this moment, Qin Wu turned around and launched a counterattack. He only had time to block the attack with his longsword before being punched in the chest.

Qin Wu spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward into the woods behind him. The two men chased after him, but Qin Wu had already disappeared.

The leader looked at the corpse on the ground, his face ashen, and said coldly, "He's badly injured and can't have gone far. Chase him!"

Without the archers' harassment, Qin Wu unleashed his Cloud Smoke Lightness Skill to its fullest extent, his entire body moving like a streak of light as he quickly escaped the forest.

At this point, the pursuers behind them had no more scruples and took to the air, closing the distance between them more and more quickly.

Qin Wu had already spotted Dawn City in the distance. He gathered his strength and roared at the top of his lungs, "Chen Baima! Come save me..."

Chapter 355: The Shocked Dawn City (6)

Qin Wu turned around and glanced behind him; a full sixteen bursts of energy were flying toward him.

"Damn it, do they have to be so ruthless? Do they really need so many internal energy cultivators to hunt me down when I'm just a lowly Transformation Realm cultivator?"

Qin Wu's body was almost completely exhausted. After escaping for half a day in this overloaded state, his spirit was about to give out.

The leader of the Gang Force behind him let out a hysterical roar, and his speed increased dramatically, bringing him to within a mile of Qin Wu.

Qin Wu felt a murderous sword aura about to strike him from behind. The leader's face revealed a cruel smile; his hatred for Qin Wu had reached its peak.

His group of more than ten people had been lying in wait in the Dark Forest for so long, yet Qin Wu brazenly killed someone right under their noses and then made his escape.

If they fail to kill Qin Wu this time, he can imagine that when they return, they will face inhumane punishment.
