For three days, the herb field remained calm and peaceful, with no other enemies appearing except for the occasional wild beast.

During these three days, Chen Xun spent most of his time cultivating, apart from patrolling.

He sleeps for two hours before his night patrol and then sleeps for another two hours after he returns from patrol.

Four hours of deep sleep is enough to keep him energetic throughout the day.

After deducting time for meals and chores, Chen Xun only has 10 hours a day for cultivation.

Even so, his cultivation speed in the Iron Skin Realm was still very fast.

Sheet metal 36% → Sheet metal 56%

On average, we make 6% to 7% progress every day.

Then, his [Bull Demon Breathing Technique] also broke through to the perfect realm today, finally breaking through its limit.

【Bull Demon Breathing Technique (Limit Breaking Trait: Endless Life)】

Endless Vitality: Increased endurance, strengthened lungs, and the ability to survive in water for up to an hour with a single deep breath.

When Chen Xun broke through the [Bull Demon Breathing Technique], his lungs were strengthened.

An energy surged in from the outside, helping Chen Xun strengthen his lungs.

After the enhancement was completed, Chen Xun took a deep breath, which was enough to disturb the airflow of the entire room, which was quite astonishing.

He then held his breath for a long time without feeling any discomfort and was still able to move freely.

As for endurance, it's not easy to test, and Chen Xun doesn't know how much he's improved it.

After breaking through the limits, the Bull Demon Breathing Technique produces even purer Qi and blood.

This allowed Chen Xun's cultivation speed to increase once again.

When it was midnight that night, Chen Xun checked his cultivation progress.

Sheet metal 56% → Sheet metal 64%

The progress has clearly improved by one point compared to before.

If this continues, Chen Xun will reach the peak of the Iron Skin Realm within five days.

You can prepare to break through to the Bone Forging Realm.

However, accidents always happen unexpectedly.

Late that night, Chen Xun was patrolling the medicinal herb fields.

After a few days, the initial novelty wore off, and apart from Chen Xun, everyone else in their team seemed bored.

"Ha~", Song Mingbai, who was next to Chen Xun, opened his mouth wide and yawned.

"This mission is so boring."

"It would be great if a few wild animals came."

Song Mingbai muttered to himself, bored.

Chen Xun, who was next to him, heard his words but did not reply, continuing to be vigilant about his surroundings.

He has gradually felt the increase in endurance brought about by the [Endless Life] characteristic.

Last night, around this time, Chen Xun still felt sleepy even though he had rested.

It's not that he didn't sleep well, but rather that his body's biological clock was acting up.

Because he is used to sleeping at night, even if he is not sleepy, his body still reminds him to go to sleep.

Now, he felt no drowsiness at all, only a surge of energy.

It was precisely because of his abundant energy that he was the first to notice the anomaly.

"That is?"

In the distance, a blurry figure appeared in Chen Xun's field of vision.

At first, Chen Xun didn't pay much attention, thinking it was some kind of wild animal.

But soon he realized something was wrong.

There were too many of them, and their movements were very regular and organized, so they couldn't possibly be animals.

are people.

Upon realizing this, Chen Xun's pupils constricted.

He quickly warned the Bone Forging Realm captain not far away: "Captain Song Ming, someone is approaching."

"What?"

The drowsiness in Song Ming's eyes vanished instantly. He quickly went to Chen Xun's side and asked seriously and nervously, "Which direction?"

"where."

Chen Xun pointed, and Song Ming looked over.

Then his eyes became dazed.

He couldn't see anything, only pitch blackness.

"I can't see anything, how did you find out?"

Song Ming looked at Chen Xun with suspicion.

Even with his keen eyesight, he couldn't see anything unusual. How could Chen Xun, a low-level disciple, possibly have done that?

Seeing this, Chen Xun knew that even if he explained, the other party probably wouldn't listen to much.

Let's prove it with concrete actions.

So he took off the Tiger Fang Bow from his back and took out an ordinary arrow from the quiver.

Under Song Ming's questioning gaze, he aimed and fired.

"Whoosh!" The sound of an arrow whistling through the quiet night sky.

"Ah!" followed by a piercing scream.

"Is there really someone there?"

Song Ming's pupils suddenly contracted.

Without hesitation, he quickly took out a signal flare from his body and fired it.

This is a signal flare that should only be used in emergency situations.

As soon as the signal flare was fired, a red firework appeared in the dark sky, instantly startling many people.

"Enemy attack."

Song Ming then let out an angry shout, which immediately made the entire medicinal field lively.

"Damn it, we've been discovered! Kill them!"

Once the attacker realized he had been exposed, he was filled with murderous intent.

Their primary target was naturally Chen Xun and his group, who were closest to them.

"Kill them, kill them!"

The leader was extremely fast and attacked immediately.

"I'll hold him off. You all do your best to protect yourselves. Reinforcements are on their way."

Song Ming gave a low shout and met the opponent's attack.

The two weapons clashed violently, sparking blinding flashes in the darkness.

Then, the two could not last more than three moves before Song Ming was struck by a blade. The immense force broke through his defenses, leaving a deep wound on his arm.

"You are a Silver Bone Realm martial artist."

Song Ming covered his arm, his face grave.

Although he wasn't considered powerful in the Iron Bone Realm, he wasn't so easily defeated by someone of the same realm in three moves.

Even the peak of the Iron Bone Realm couldn't achieve that.

Only those at the Silver Bone Realm possess such strength. As for those at the Blood Exchange Realm, they would die in a single exchange and wouldn't even last three moves.

"Hmph, you don't need to know that much. Prepare to die."

The opponent snorted coldly, his eyes blazing with killing intent, and unleashed another full-force slash.

This strike was as fast as lightning.

Song Ming's arm was injured, and although he was still holding a weapon, he was powerless to defend himself.

He could only watch in despair as the blade slashed towards his face.

Just then, a sharp whistling sound of an arrow rang out.

Song Ming's opponent sensed danger approaching and quickly withdrew his longsword, hastily placing it in front of him.

The next moment, an iron arrow struck the longsword, the immense force causing the man to stagger back three steps, successfully blocking the arrow.

But there was no joy on his face; instead, his expression was solemn.

He looked at his left arm, where an iron arrow was embedded.

It was Chen Xun's series of arrows.

Damn it.

He angrily pulled out the iron arrow, which had pierced his skin's defenses but failed to penetrate his hard bones.

Otherwise, that arrow would have surely torn his arm apart.

Now, all that remains is a bloody hole, which is merely a superficial injury to him.

When Chen Xun saw that his series of arrows had failed to achieve any effect, his pupils shrank.

Without a second thought, he fled into the darkness.

He would only take action occasionally, shooting down those who ambushed him.

At this moment, Song Jin finally arrived.

He faced off against the Silver Bone Realm warrior, replacing Song Ming who had nearly died.

"Was that arrow Chen Xun's? Did he save me? But his archery skills are so strong that he could force back a Silver Bone Realm martial artist and even injure him."

Song Ming was utterly shocked.

He never imagined that one day he would be saved by someone he looked down on.

Yes, because of Chen Xun's status as a low-level disciple, he looked down on Chen Xun in the utmost, so when Chen Xun told him that he had discovered the enemy, his first reaction was disbelief.

"kill."

The once peaceful medicinal herb field is now shrouded in the sounds of battle.

Although the number of people who launched the sneak attack was small, there were quite a few skilled fighters among them.

Therefore, the initial actions of the medicine gang caused considerable casualties.

The situation was only brought under control when the resting members of the Medicine Clan arrived to provide support.

Throughout this process, Chen Xun remained detached from the main battle.

It would only fire an arrow from time to time to precisely kill the enemy.

And after shooting an arrow, they immediately move to a different spot, never staying in the same place for long.

This can effectively prevent being tracked by the enemy.

At first, the enemy had the advantage in numbers, and many people came to chase Chen Xun, but he managed to shake them off.

First, he was fast; second, it was dark, and no one else had as good eyesight as him.

At the same distance, he can see others, but others cannot see him.

The battle lasted until dawn.

The enemy was repelled.

But Chen Xun and the other disciples of the Medicine Clan were unable to rest.

"Quickly put out the fire! Those damned bastards are pouring kerosene on our medicinal herb field, trying to burn it down!"

Suddenly, a huge fire broke out in the medicinal herb field.

The fire raged, and the choking smoke was mixed with the acrid smell of kerosene.

So, the Medicine Clan disciples, who were exhausted from the battle, had to pull themselves together and start putting out the fire urgently.
