Chapter 7: The Giant Bear Monster! Second Update

  In front of Tang Lin was a desolate wilderness, a gloomy gray sky, eerie crimson clouds, withered grassless sandy ground, pitch-black dead trees, and the occasional howling of beasts.

  "Is this the underground palace?" Tang Lin turned his head and looked around, only to see Xie Jianfeng and others sizing up their surroundings.

  "That stone gate should be a treasure, directly transmitting us here." Zhao Ziyu said thoughtfully.

  Xie Jianfeng looked around indifferently and then walked away directly.

  "Where are you going?" Zhao Zi'er frowned and said: "The teacher has told us that we must stick together, otherwise there may be danger."

  "I don't need a team." Xie Jianfeng's cold voice came, his figure flashed several times, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

  "I don't know what this cave is like." Wang Yong smiled and said to Zhao Ziyu, "You guys stay here, I'll go take a look around." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the dense forest in front of him.

  "You!" Zhao Ziyu exclaimed in exasperation.

  Tang Lin didn't say anything and directly flashed his body, following which he left this place.

  Leaving Xu Yan, Zhang Tao and Zhao Zi'er behind, they exchanged a glance with each other, but could only give up the idea of staying together as a group and left separately.

  ……

  Entering the cave, Tang Lin found that this was a strange world. The air was filled with thick demonic and magical energy. This magical energy was a strand of black gas, completely different from spiritual energy. On some mountain peaks, he also discovered magic stones condensed from magical energy.

  "It's indeed different from the outside world." Tang Lin walked straight ahead, looking around him.

  Although there were many martial artists in the Wu Guan, after entering this cave, there were more than a dozen forks in front of everyone. Tang Lin chose the leftmost fork.

  "In this outermost area, there shouldn't be any monsters, after all, too many students pass by here every day. Unless it's a powerful monster, they would hide here and hunt down the Martial Arts Academy students." Tang Lin's eyes flashed with thought, and he walked towards the depths of the fork in the road.

  Not long after, a giant peak appeared in front of Tang Lin, with thick demonic energy swirling around the top. Tang Lin circulated his energy to his eyes, and in his line of sight, the demonic energy at the top of the peak looked like clusters of gray cloud gathering, filled with a fierce and murderous aura.

  Buzz~

  The sensory symbol on his body flickered slightly.

  Tang Lin raised his head and looked at the giant peak, "There should be monsters on this."

  Whoosh!

  His body flashed and he rushed straight towards the giant peak.

  Although it was unclear what kind of cultivation the demon on this mountain peak had, Tang Lin was confident that as long as he didn't encounter the leader of the demons, he would still have a way to escape, and at worst, he would have enough time to crush the bamboo tube.

  "Ahh——"

  A three-eyed wolf suddenly emerged from the thicket, opening its bloody mouth wide and pouncing on Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin's body hovered in mid-air, his body nowhere to borrow strength, facing this tearing and biting, a cold light flashed in his eyes, the dragon pattern on his palm flashed, and he strangled the neck of the three-eyed wolf.

  "Hmm!" The palm suddenly exerted force.

  The three-eyed wolf let out a mournful howl, its neck suddenly snapped, and it didn't even have time to transform before being killed by Tang Lin.

  "It's just a small demon with only a few hundred years of cultivation." Tang Lin drew out the Black Tooth Battle Knife and cut off the three-eyed wolf's head.

  "I don't know if the demon pellet has been formed." Tang Lin's war knife made a slash, and the three-eyed wolf's belly was directly cut open. The internal organs and intestines fell to the ground with a splat, and Tang Lin used his war knife to stir around several times, but he didn't find any demon pellet inside.

  "It seems that his Tao is too shallow and he hasn't even cultivated the demon pill." Tang Lin shook his head, casually discarding the corpse of the three-eyed wolf in the wilderness.

  Although the three-eyed wolf's body has several precious materials, such as wolf hair, which can be made into high-quality wolf hair brushes, wolf claws, which can be forged into fine iron weapons, and wolf heart, which can be decocted into high-quality medicine.

  But all of these were useless to Tang Lin.

  He is not short of money!

  The burden that can be carried with you is only so big, Tang Lin won't pack some useless things, compared to silver, this battle merit point is truly precious.

  Killing the three-eyed wolf, Tang Lin's body didn't stop for a moment, and he rushed straight to the top of the mountain peak. Along the way, he found some huge footprints.

  "Hmm?" Tang Lin landed on the ground, picked up a handful of sand from the footprint and sniffed it for a while, furrowing his brow. "Xiao Hui said that most giant-footed monsters have thousands or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation, but those born with huge feet are only bear spirits and rhinoceros spirits."

  "These footprints have a faintly eerie smell, probably from a bear spirit or some other kind of monster." Tang Lin's eyes flashed, the knowledge that Xiao Hui had given him seemed to flash by in his mind, "Bear spirits are afraid of flames, afraid of light, and their eyes are their weak point."

  He hesitated for a moment, grasped several talismans in his hand, and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

  ……

  On the mountain top, by a clear spring.

  “Hmmm...” A giant bear with a jet-black mane was lying by the spring, eating fruit in annoyance. On its face, there was a tender pink scar, as if it had been torn apart by some sharp object. From this scar, it wasn't hard to tell that it had faced what kind of dangerous situation.

  Next to the giant bear, dozens of little monsters were crawling around, including snake spirits, leopard spirits, tiger spirits, tree spirits and so on. These little monsters were all eyeing these fresh fruits covetously, swallowing their saliva secretly.

  "Bastard, bastard!" The giant bear growled in a low voice while eating the fruit, and each time it growled, the little monsters trembled with fear.

  "A little cat, dare to ride on my head, damn it, isn't it relying on living a thousand years more than me, die a miserable death, and still come to me to vent!" The giant bear suddenly crushed the fruit, looking up at the sky in anger and roaring.

  The sound wave shook up a high water column next to the pond, splashing water everywhere.

  All the little monsters cowered and lowered their heads.

  They know the king is getting angry!

  The day before yesterday, the most powerful being residing in this land, the richest and most central one, suddenly descended upon them and asked if their king had ever seen a human.

  The great king said he hadn't seen it, but as a result... that powerful being directly slapped him with one palm, sending the great king flying and leaving a deep scar on his face.

  That powerful force still makes them feel heart palpitations today.

  They were also worried that the king would take it out on them.

  Just as the giant bear roared—

  Whoosh!

  A figure suddenly flashed across, appearing on the flat ground of the mountain peak. The unfamiliar and fragrant breath was like food, tempting all the monsters, who turned their heads in unison.

  Human!

  Seeing this human boy, all the monsters were stunned for a moment.

  How dare someone of your kind intrude here?

  The giant bear lowered its head, ferociously tilting it to the side, its thick tongue licking its teeth, and growled: "Humans of the Seven Stars Martial Hall!"

  Having survived here for too long, it had long known that all the monsters on this land were captured by the Seven Star Martial Academy and provided to the students inside for trial hunting.

  Facing this sad fate.

  All youkai felt indescribably angry and thus extremely resentful towards the humans of the Seven Star Martial God Temple.

  "Kill it!" the giant bear growled.

  Dozens of small demons in front of it flashed crimson light in their eyes, greedily and bloodthirstily staring at Tang Lin.

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

  The little demon's body flashed out quickly and rushed towards Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin's eyes flashed, a smile on his lips, he drew out the Black Toothed Blade and charged into the battle circle of the demon.

  Boom! Boom!

  Attacks came from all sides in a frantic and frenzied manner.

  Tang Lin was like returning to the Iron Tower Pass, after ten days of tempering, his reaction force had increased greatly, wherever his heart desired, the war knife in his hand would swing towards.

  Pfft! Pfft!

  Tang Lin's internal energy circulated through the blade, and no matter how these monsters transformed into clouds or raindrops, they could directly harm their true bodies.

  A pool of fresh blood splattered under Tang Lin's feet, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight monsters were beheaded by Tang Lin.

  The giant bear's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and in a low voice, it growled: "Back off!"

  All the little monsters immediately withdrew their attack and retreated to the edge of the spring water.

  The giant bear emerged from the crowd, gazing at Tang Lin with an icy stare. The claws in its hand scraped against each other, making a sound like rusty iron scraping, causing one's gums to feel numb.

  "This king hasn't eaten human flesh for a long time, today I'll use you as the first course!" The giant bear let out a low growl and its massive body charged towards Tang Lin like thunder.

  So fast! Tang Lin's body flashed and he instinctively dodged to the side.

  Whoosh!

  A pitch-black and gigantic bear paw descended from the sky and slammed heavily onto Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin's eyes flashed, and he tossed the black-toothed war knife in his hand to one side. After a 60-70 jin battle fell to the ground, a burst of dust splashed up, and Tang Lin's body suddenly accelerated even faster.

  A faint flash.

  Tang Lin's body dodged this sharp claw.

  "These ten days of training on the wooden stakes have finally yielded some slight progress in my techniques." Tang Lin felt a sense of relief, and just as the giant bear was about to attack, the dragon pattern on his palm flashed, and the powerful Dragon's Fury technique was suddenly unleashed.

  Whoosh!

  The fist whizzed towards the giant bear's belly.

  The giant bear's body was too huge, and with its confidence in its own body, it didn't dodge, instead taking the punch head-on.

  Tap tap tap!

  Tang Lin's body retreated three steps!

  "Amazing!" Tang Lin was shocked in his heart, "This skin and flesh is actually so tough, the internal energy can't even penetrate it!"

  The giant bear was even more surprised, it felt a sharp pain in its belly, in the hundreds of years since it had been caught here, it had never encountered a human who could hurt itself.

  "Looking for death!" The giant bear let out a low growl, its fur standing on end like steel needles, the eerie aura around it churning and swirling like thick flames.

  Tang Lin saw that things were taking a turn for the worse.

  Run away!

  With a flash of his body, Tang Lin sheathed the Black Tooth Battle Knife and waved his hand, saying "We'll meet again." After speaking, he swiftly ran down the mountain.

  "Want to run?" The giant bear let out a loud roar, took big strides and chased after him. Its speed was surprisingly not slower than Tang Lin's, and it seemed like it was about to catch up with Tang Lin.

  Bang! Bang!

  Several fireballs suddenly shot towards it, and the scorching temperature set its fur ablaze.

  The giant bear instinctively raised its paws.

  Pfft!

  Two fireballs were slapped apart by a palm, and when he opened his eyes again, Tang Lin's body had already disappeared without a trace.

  "Damn it, damn it!" The giant bear's lungs were about to burst.
