Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 20 Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Hermon

As the sun sets, the forest is filled with golden light, and the leaves rustle softly in the breeze.

On a towering tree that requires two adults to encircle, Xiao Yan was picking the tenth medicinal herb for refining the Blood Burning Technique.

Looking at the fist-sized, blood-red mushroom growing on the tree trunk, the old doctor smiled slightly: "Red Fire Mushroom, it can only grow on trees that are over a hundred years old. I originally thought it would take some effort to find it, but I didn't expect to get it on the first day. You little guy are really lucky."

Xiao Yan smiled, but his keen senses suddenly detected a powerful aura approaching. His delicate face hardened: "A magical beast is coming, and it has reached the second tier."

Yao Lao nodded in appreciation for Xiao Yan's ability to remain vigilant in the Monster Mountain Range at all times.

"It's a second-tier magical beast, the Flaming Tiger, and it was seriously injured. It obtained the crucial Crimson Flame Mushroom and is likely to obtain a second-tier magical core soon, which is why I said you're quite lucky."

Xiao Yan's physical attributes were too high. After careful consideration, Yao Lao believed that the effects of the blood of a second-tier fire-attribute magical beast might be somewhat poor.

Only the Demon Core can produce the best cultivation effect for Xiao Yan.

After carefully storing the Crimson Flame Mushroom, Xiao Yan used the "Concealing Breath Technique" to further conceal his aura completely. His dark eyes focused intently on the ground below, and his internal fighting spirit slowly circulated, preparing to make a move.

Before long, a rather large demonic tiger appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

This monster has a ferocious and terrifying head, and its eyes are as hot as lava, flashing with a heart-palpitating light. Each time its four thick claws stomp down, they leave a huge palm print on the ground, as if lava is eroding it.

However, he had multiple wounds from knives and spears, and it was unknown which mercenaries he had fought.

Xiao Yan is no good person. If he were to fight a second-tier magical beast in its prime right now, he would have to use all his trump cards.

Not every magical beast possesses a magic core. He hunted five magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but only obtained a fire-attribute magic core from the first one.

Things are hard to come by, so we should save money wherever we can.

The second-tier magical beast is now severely injured.

Kill it while it's sick!

Having charged forward at breakneck speed, and with the loss of blood, even with its extremely powerful body, the Crimson Flame Demon Tiger had lost its former ferocity.

After cautiously glancing around and confirming there was no danger, the Crimson Flame Tiger finally collapsed wearily onto the ground.

After waiting for several breaths to lower the Crimson Flame Tiger's guard to a minimum, Xiao Yan exerted force with his legs and suddenly leaped down from the towering ancient tree, charging towards the Crimson Flame Tiger like an arrow released from a bow.

With a dense layer of yellow battle qi emanating from his fist, Xiao Yan was almost going all out when he made his move.

The Crimson Flame Tiger reacted swiftly, abruptly rising from the grass, its heart filled with uncontrollable rage, its tiger eyes brimming with disbelief.

"Despicable and cunning humans!" A thought flashed through the Crimson Flame Demon Tiger's mind. Before it could even react, a fist the size of a sandbag slammed into the "King" character on its forehead: "Eight Extremes Collapse!"

With an overwhelming force, the Crimson Flame Demon Tiger's massive head was slammed violently into the ground.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Immediately following, three muffled thuds resounded in the Crimson Flame Demon Tiger's mind. Terrifying internal energy exploded, instantly causing the Crimson Flame Demon Tiger's brains to splatter and blood to flow from its seven orifices, resulting in its death.

The enormous body had just gotten up when it collapsed weakly to the ground.

With his fighting spirit greatly depleted, Xiao Yan let out a heavy sigh of relief. Looking at the second-tier magical beast, the Crimson Flame Tiger, which he had easily dealt with in front of him, he could not hide his joy.

Looking at the corpse of the Crimson Flame Tiger, Yao Lao said with a smile, "Already severely injured, and then ambushed by you, the Crimson Flame Tiger's death was somewhat unjust."

"Hopefully it has a magic core." Xiao Yan reached out and grasped the handle of the Xuanzhong Ruler, then swung it forcefully at the massive Crimson Flame Demon Tiger.

Although the Xuan Heavy Ruler was perfectly flat and had no sharp edges, Xiao Yan was very familiar with the technique of concentrating force into a line, which he had learned from the Eight Extremes Collapse.

As the foot fell, a crack suddenly appeared on the back of the Crimson Flame Demon Tiger, its flesh completely exposed, revealing the tiger's stark white skeleton.

The old doctor nodded approvingly at the fact that you had mastered such skill in using this heavy sword in just one day: "You are becoming more and more proficient in the techniques of using this heavy sword."

"Oh, I almost forgot, you've already called it the Mysterious Heavy Ruler," Yao Lao added.

"Lucky me, I have a magic core!" Picking up the fiery red magic core, Xiao Yan laughed, "I'm really looking forward to my teacher teaching me the powerful fighting techniques of this Xuan Heavy Ruler."

"Let's talk about it when your battle qi strength has improved a few more levels. Even if I taught you now, you wouldn't have any battle qi to use," Yao Lao said with a smile.

How to increase battle aura strength?

Although the cultivation technique cannot be upgraded for the time being, who says that one must increase their battle qi strength in order to have more battle qi?

After you're "possessed by a ghost," who cares about your battle aura level anymore?

Rubbing his nose, which was stung by the strong smell of blood, Xiao Yan's understanding of expanding his Dou Qi became increasingly clear.

After putting away the magic core, Xiao Yan left the forest, intending to find some more medicinal herbs before it got dark.

After dark, the monsters roam even more freely, and the danger level of the Monster Mountain Range increases exponentially.

The old herbalist will help me locate the medicinal herbs, but he won't help me deal with those magical beasts.

Before long, Xiao Yan was met by a large group of mercenaries rushing towards him.

After a quick glance, I estimated that there were about thirty mercenaries in the group, all of considerable strength, and they all wore the same badge on their chests.

The badge features an engraved one-eyed wolf's head.

Xiao Yan blinked. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group from three or four years ago?

The mercenaries had seen many young men like Xiao Yan who came to the Monster Mountain Range in search of opportunities from nameless hermits.

Not many; most of these teenagers had broken arms and legs, or had perished in the bellies of monsters.

"Hey kid, have you seen a wounded demon tiger?" a mercenary with a pointed snout and monkey-like face asked.

Could it be that these guys severely injured the Crimson Flame Demon Tiger? A question flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, then he smiled silently, thinking that it was all thanks to these guys.

However, Xiao Yan wouldn't tell the truth.

"No." Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, preparing to walk around this group of people.

"Wait!" Just as Xiao Yan was speaking, a tall man among the mercenaries, nearly two meters tall, shouted in a deep voice, "Leave the cloth bag containing the medicinal herbs at your waist."

To become the third leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Hermon not only possesses great strength, but also has top-notch insight.

The Crimson Flame Mushroom at the mouth of the bag alone is worth more than three thousand gold coins. Dealing with a lucky boy is much easier than dealing with a second-tier magical beast.
