Chu Tian stood up, stretched, and answered Lin Lanlan's question.

"I practiced last night."

Lin Lanlan was very surprised and even suspected that there was something wrong with her feelings.

A diligent warrior will use practice instead of sleep and practice hard day and night. She often does this in her family, but she has experienced hard struggle yesterday and is too tired to fall asleep.

What she awakened was the fourth-grade martial soul of the Yellow-level, and in terms of talent, she had already occupied the first-class level among Baichuan City.

It takes fifty days for a warrior with a fourth-level yellow-level martial soul to break through the first level of body tempering to the second level of body tempering.

Every day of cultivation, the realm progress is not great, unlike Chu Tian. Yesterday I gave Lin Lanlan the feeling that he had just broken through the first level of body tempering, but today I am at the peak of body tempering, and can complete the breakthrough at any time.

"Is it because I was too nervous yesterday and felt something was wrong?"

Chu Tian didn't know what Lin Lanlan was thinking, so he put out the fire and packed his bags again.

"let's go."

The two continued to go deep into the Baichuan Mountains and headed towards the next peak. They passed by a stream on the way, and Lin Lanlan went to get water.

After taking the water, she found Chu Tian standing next to the stream with frowns.

She approached with curiosity and asked.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Tian pointed his hand at the ground.

"Look, are these footprints of your Chu family guard?"

Lin Lanlan looked down and saw a few very clear footprints beside the stream. The owner who had been footprints had not been away for a long time.

"No, the guards who followed me were all women, and the footprints were too big."

Lin Lanlan was very puzzled.

"Can they be other warriors who have entered the mountain to experience or seek medicine?"

Chu Tian said decisively.

"No! It's spring now, and the best time to collect spiritual medicines is summer. It's unlikely that people come to look for medicine.

Besides, spring is the season for monsters to go into estrus. The monsters in the estrus have a strong desire to attack. Entering the mountain to experience it at this time is no different from seeking death.”

When Chu Tian saw Lin Lanlan pouting angrily, he remembered the girl in front of him, who also came to experience it.

He pretended not to realize he was saying the wrong thing and pointed his hand at the footprints.

"Look at this again."

Lin Lanlan snorted lightly and looked along Chu Tian's fingers.

Next to human footprints, there are several plum blossom marks, which seem to be left by some animal.

She exclaimed.

"This is the footprint of the spiritual dog!"

Spirit dogs are dog monsters raised by warriors. They are characterized by their sensitive sense of smell and are often used to search for prey.

"Can my father know that I'm missing and sent family warriors to come to me?"

Chu Tian still shook his head.

"You have been missing for only one day, and the news has just been transmitted back to the Lin family at most, and it won't be so fast."

Lin Lanlan asked timidly.

"Would it be here to find you?"

These words awakened Chu Tian.

Judging from the number of footprints, the other party should have six people. Such a lineup and a spirit dog are not as simple as finding someone.

More likely...killing!

Chu Tian said in his heart.

"The only ones who have a grudge against me and who have the ability to send so many warriors are the Great Elders and the Sixth Elders in the clan.

Although the Great Elder has made Chu Zhenghao difficult for me over the years, he has never made a ruthless move and took my life.

But the sixth elder, who lost his beloved son, wanted to kill me when he was in Lingcaotang.

He's likely from

Master He Dan heard that I went into the mountain to find medicine and took this opportunity to kill him!"

Seeing Chu Tian's expression sinking again and again, Lin Lanlan asked.

"Is it really here to find you?"

"That's right!"

"Then are we going forward?"

Chu Tian’s answer was decisive.

"Let's go! Only when you find the golden deer antler can your father be saved. Who dares to stop me and kill me!"

Lin Lanlan was infected by Chu Tian's insistence. She was sure that Chu Tian would definitely do what he said.

She patted her chest confidently.

"Don't worry, anyone is in trouble for you, I'll cover you!"

Chu Tian was very suspicious that if he really encountered a vicious enemy, who would protect whom.

Seeing that Chu Tian didn't believe it, Lin Lanlan said angrily.

"My father said that I practiced the Lin family's top sword technique. Although I lack practical experience, few warriors of the same level can beat me."

Chu Tian agreed with this sentence. He had seen the sword technique used by Lin Lanlan. The sword peak was light and in the wind, and it was very exquisite. If it weren't for the amazingly defensive monster like the black and white tiger, it would be difficult to find an opponent at the same level.

With Lin Lanlan's help, Chu Tian really needs to be much easier.

However, Chu Tian understood that instead of relying on a young lady like Lin Lanlan who lacks practical experience, mastering stronger power is the guarantee of survival.

"I originally wanted to return from the mountains and then practice the Heavenly Demon body refining. Now it seems that I must break through the second level of body tempering as soon as possible!"

He said to Lin Lanlan.

"We are not looking for spiritual medicine today."

"What to do?"

"Cultivate!"

Chu Tian took Lin Lanlan back to the peak where he rested last night. Since the killers carrying spirit dogs had already penetrated the mountains, they would not look back for at least a while.

Chu Tian said solemnly to Lin Lanlan.

"During my practice, please protect my consideration. No matter whether the visitor is a human or a monster, don't let him disturb me."

Lin Lanlan made a promise with great confidence.

"Don't worry, I, Lin Lanlan, said that I would protect you and do what I say!"

Chu Tian sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

After a moment, Lin Lanlan, who was protecting Chu Tian ten steps away, opened her mouth wide in surprise.

She felt that the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth around her was rapidly condensed.

Soon, above Chu Tian's head, the spiritual energy condensed into a translucent blue octagonal sledgehammer.

Lin Lanlan murmured.

"I have never heard of what kind of exercise this is."

Before she could come to her senses, she saw the spirit hammer in the air suddenly falling down and hit Chu Tian heavily.

Bang!

A loud bang scared Lin Lanlan's appearance.

Several cracks appeared on the hard rocks under Chu Tian's body, and there was also a trace of blood coming out of the corners of Chu Tian's mouth.

However, in just three breaths, a new spiritual hammer appeared again, and this time it fell on Chu Tian's chest.

Chu Tian let out a mouthful of blood, his muscles were spasming all over his body and his body was shaking.

Lin Lanlan wanted to ask him what he was doing, but suddenly remembered Chu Tian's words that he would not let anyone disturb him, and then forced himself to speak.

She looked at Chu Tian’s miserable appearance, her eyes were slightly red and tears were almost flowing out.

"He is tempering his body? But who can take it so much self-abuse? This is not a practice, it is clearly a suicide!"

Chu Tian, ​​who was in the body tempering, was also bitter in his heart.

"sky

The Demon Body Refining Technique is indeed terrible. The power of the secondary body quenching is ten times stronger than when it was the first body quenching. Resisting two hammers in a row is my limit now!”

Chu Tian did not stop practicing, but instead sank consciousness into the sky in his body, resonating with the martial soul of the ancestral soul, the divine tree.

A bright green light emerged from his body, like a silent spring rain, nourishing his body.
