In the deep night, after the loud roar passed, the forest was silent.
The dark clouds completely dispersed, and under the moonlight, everything became exceptionally bright. In the midst of a devastated forest, a huge Snow Wolf lay on the ground, motionless.
Fresh blood gushed out from the Snow Wolf's lower jaw and the top of its head, forming a large pool of blood on the ground. The Mystic Deep Cold Ice, arriving at a critical moment, left the Snow Wolf falling from the sky with no escape, piercing its lower jaw and penetrating its entire head, and even now the ice had not yet dissipated.
After a long time, a part of the Snow Wolf's belly moved, and then a figure crawled out with difficulty from inside. After his body had completely crawled out from under the heavy Snow Wolf's belly, Lu An couldn't help but lie on the ground, gasping for breath!
At this moment, his body was covered in blood. The large tree that had struck earlier landed right on his back, and the hard branches had severely cut through his skin and muscles after falling to the ground. Moreover, he had just been subjected to the Snow Wolf's heavy pressure. Fortunately, it was the Snow Wolf's belly that had pressed down on him, not its claws, otherwise this pressure would have been fatal.
But even with the belly pressing down on him, Lu An's injuries were worsened. He struggled to get up from the ground, looking at his battered body, every part of him ached.
Lu An sat on the ground, struggling to take off his top and roll up his trouser legs. Under the moonlight, even though he was only twelve years old, his body was already well-proportioned and strong. He looked at the three pieces of splintered wood that had pierced into his ribs and thighs, gritted his teeth, and endured the pain to pull them out one by one!
“Hiss…” Lu An couldn't help but gasp, then tore off a few pieces from his already tattered trouser legs and bandaged the wounds.
Although the wounds were deep and bleeding continuously, quickly soaking the cloth strips, Lu An was not worried. He didn't know why, but since he was young, he had found that his recovery ability was much stronger than other people's. With the same injury, other people's wounds would not heal for a month, but his would start to heal in a day or two.
Enduring the pain all over his body, Lu An covered his ribs and slowly stood up. Looking at the huge Snow Wolf lying in front of him, its body, which was five meters long, became even larger as its limbs stretched out. Lu An stood in front of the Snow Wolf, still not as tall as the Snow Wolf lying on its side.
Lu An looked at the dead Snow Wolf, a trace of coldness appearing in his eyes. He had finally killed a Snow Wolf with his own ability. At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Gao Dashan had once told him: the most important thing in hunting Strange Beasts was the rebirth crystal core.
Lu An's brow furrowed. He didn't know what the rebirth crystal core was for, but since it was so valuable, there must be a reason. Looking at the Snow Wolf in front of him, he didn't know where the rebirth crystal core was, but after thinking for a moment, he thought that such an important thing must be in the brain or the heart.
Sure enough, after Lu An spent a great deal of effort using ice to cut open the Snow Wolf's head and heart, he found a white crystal block flashing with cold light in the center of the heart. This crystal block was no bigger than the palm of his hand, and it looked very delicate embedded in the heart. Lu An knew that this must be the rebirth crystal core!
Lu An used force to pry the rebirth crystal core out of the flesh and blood, glanced at it a couple of times, and then put it in his pocket. At this moment, he was covered in blood, some of it his own, some of it from the Snow Wolf. Then, he suddenly thought of something and quickly ran towards the top of the mountain!
“That water bag must still be there!” Lu An thought anxiously as he ran, “I hope that blue bird didn't lose the water bag!”
Da da da—
Soon, Lu An ran to the clearing at the top of the mountain. At this time, the blue bird was nowhere to be seen, leaving only an empty boulder in the center.
Lu An endured the pain and quickly ran to the boulder, looking around. Suddenly, he saw a corner of the water bag under a feather left on the boulder. He quickly climbed onto the boulder and took the water bag from under the feather.
“It's a good thing the water bag wasn't lost. This way, I can join that woman's team.” Lu An said to himself with a frown, holding the water bag in his hand, “A First Order Strange Beast really can't be dealt with alone. It's pure luck that I was able to survive today.”
Then, Lu An lowered his head and looked at the feather at his feet.
Out of curiosity, Lu An bent down and picked up the feather as well. Looking at the feather in his hand, although it looked blue at first glance, if you looked closely, you would find that this blue color was gradient. It became lighter and lighter from the root to the tip, but it wasn't that obvious.
After thinking about it, Lu An also put the feather in his pocket. He didn't think about anything else, he just wanted to study it carefully when he got back to see what the blue bird was called.
Lu An looked up at the moon, which had already begun to set in the east, frowned, and quickly rushed down the mountain.
At dawn, the academy woke up early. Students of all grades had already left their dormitories, heading to different places in the academy.
For the new students, there was an entire morning of class. This class was still taught by Han Ying, and the main content was to teach everyone how to release their own Tian Yuan Power.
This class was not held indoors, but in an open-air venue. Han Ying was explaining to everyone in the crowd, but Gao Dashan among the new students was looking around, as if searching for something.
“Hey! Have you guys seen Lu An?” After looking around, Gao Dashan couldn't help but ask Li Dongshi and the others in a low voice.
The others were stunned when they heard this, and then they also looked around, finally shaking their heads and saying, “We didn't see him.”
“That's strange, where did he go? With his personality, it's impossible for him not to come to class!” Gao Dashan frowned, feeling that something was wrong no matter how he thought about it.
Suddenly, he saw Fu Yu standing alone at the outermost edge of the crowd, looking around. Although he was a little afraid to talk to such a beautiful girl, he still braced himself and squeezed over.
“Um, Fu Yu…” Gao Dashan said somewhat timidly as he came to Fu Yu's side.
Fu Yu turned her head to look at Gao Dashan when she heard this, her willow eyebrows slightly furrowed, and asked coldly, “What's the matter?”
“Do you know why Lu An didn't come to class?” Gao Dashan asked somewhat awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.
Fu Yu was slightly startled, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she said, “He didn't return to the dormitory last night. I thought he was with you.”
“What?!” Gao Dashan couldn't help but shout out loud, “He didn't return to the dormitory all night?”
Because he was too loud, the surrounding students couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Gao Dashan. At this time, Gao Dashan also realized that he had made a mistake, couldn't help but shrink his neck, and then whispered to Fu Yu about what happened last night!
Listening, Fu Yu's willow eyebrows became tighter and tighter. There were beasts in any mountain range, and it was very likely that Strange Beasts would appear. Going up the mountain alone, wouldn't that be courting death?
Just as Fu Yu was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly saw a figure walking from a distance. Her eyesight was far superior to ordinary people, others couldn't see clearly, but she could see very clearly.
“He's fine, he'll be here in a while.” Fu Yu said indifferently, no longer paying attention to Gao Dashan.
Seeing this, Gao Dashan could only feel confused. Although he really wanted to ask why, looking at Fu Yu's unapproachable appearance, he didn't dare to speak again.
A moment later, the Third Layer of the Body Tempering Tower.
A tall man with a straw in his mouth walked through the Body Tempering Ground. Soon, he came to a sexy woman sitting on the ground, squatted down, but didn't dare to look at the woman's deep cleavage, and said, “Sister Yan, someone is looking for you.”
Kong Yan was stunned, opened her sexy eyes and looked at the man. She couldn't remember who she had made an appointment with in the morning. After thinking about it, she still got up and walked towards the outside of the Body Tempering Ground.
Along the way, Kong Yan's devilish figure attracted the attention of countless people, every curve provoking these people's nerves. The men looked over one after another, wondering who could get this sexy stunner. But looking at her slender waist and Hips, no matter who got her, I'm afraid they wouldn't live more than a few days before they died of exhaustion, right?
Finally, Kong Yan walked out of the Body Tempering Ground, looking around, searching for the person who wanted to find her.
At this moment, her peripheral vision saw a figure walking over. Turning her head to look, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, a boy who was not even as tall as her stood in front of her, his clothes tattered and covered in blood, looking even more dilapidated than last night.
“Are you the one looking for me?” Kong Yan crossed her arms, looking at the boy with great interest, and said with a charming smile, “I said, you can only join if you bring back the water bag, there's nothing else to discuss.”
Before she could finish speaking, Kong Yan's expression froze, looking at the boy's hand that was taken out from behind him, and the brown water bag in his hand. A touch of surprise finally appeared on her enchanting face.
“Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my mission.” Lu An looked at the woman and said indifferently.
