Chapter 97 Searching the Mountain to Conquer the Demon
The old Taoist watched Yang Xu make his choice without commenting. He waved the whisk in his hand and a beam of white light shot out and poured into Yang Xu's forehead.

Yang Xu immediately felt something extra in his mind. He closed his eyes and found that it was a seed floating deep in his consciousness.

[You have obtained the spell seed: Five Ghosts Moving Spell. It will dissipate after 167 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. During this time, use mana to connect the spell seed to obtain the method to cast the Five Ghosts Moving Spell.]

"You can come back here to find me after you learn the spell, otherwise there is no need to waste your time."

The old Taoist left these words and ignored Yang Xu.

Yang Xu didn't say anything. Amidst the strange looks from others, he hurried out of the crowd, found an empty place nearby, and couldn't wait to try out his magic.

As the magic power connected to the spell seed, the magic power automatically diverged and flowed along a mysterious path along various parts of the body, converging into Yang Xu's hands.

Yang Xu hurriedly picked up a piece of bluestone and placed his palm on the surface of the stone. A crooked "Qian" character quietly took shape on the surface of the stone, but the strokes were blurred and almost unrecognizable.

The magic power was still being output, Yang Xu hurriedly threw the stone far away, picked up another stone, and engraved it again.

This time, a word "Xun" appeared, but halfway through the engraving, the flow of mana suddenly fluctuated violently, resulting in only half of the word "Xun" being drawn, and the remaining half was directly knotted into a ball.

Yang Xu placed the stone under his body, then pinched a seal with one hand, continued to circulate his magic power, and engraved the talisman. The next step was the actual moving process.

As the magic power was running, Yang Xu vaguely felt that there was something more around him and hurriedly opened his third eye.

From his celestial eye, two hand-sized ghosts quietly took shape beside the bluestone he had just thrown. They were both incredibly skinny, and one was so exhausted that it sat down and began to draw circles, seemingly lying flat on its back. The other ghost, slightly more energetic, scurried to the bottom of the bluestone with its short legs, pretending to lift it. However, after several seconds, the stone remained motionless.

The little ghost had no choice but to scratch his head and look at Yang Xu, then spread his hands towards him, indicating that he had no choice, and disappeared with the two little ghosts.

"Failed?"

Yang Xu sighed. It was indeed not easy to learn a spell from scratch without a skill template. Just the carving of the two runes would probably take several days of practice to carve them completely and clearly, not to mention practicing controlling the little ghost, stabilizing the spiritual power, etc.

No wonder many people can’t learn it, seven days is indeed a bit short.

However, this is not a big problem for Yang Xu. He has the Zhijie training ground. One day is equal to eight days for others, and seventy-eight days is fifty-six days. If this is still not enough, it only means that his magical talent is ridiculously poor.

Projection time is precious, so I can only practice this spell when I get back.

Yang Xu hid his Sky Eye and headed towards Tianxu Mountain along the map.

Two hours later, Yang Xu arrived at the foot of Tianxu Mountain.

Looking up, I saw a steep mountain ahead, shrouded in smoke, and I could faintly hear the growls of wild beasts coming from the mountains.

The surrounding trees were tall and dense, with intertwined branches and leaves that blocked most of the view, and the air was filled with a rotten smell.

Yang Xu stepped into the forest, closed his eyes and felt it, and found that the demonic energy in the mountains was unusually strong, causing his super-sensory range to be greatly compressed. He could only clearly perceive within ten meters around him, and his perception quickly became blurred farther away.

Yang Xu, holding the Demon-Breaking Spear in his hand, stepped onto the mountain path, his super senses fully activated, always alert to any monsters that might appear around him.

Not long after he walked, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange breath, which passed by him a few meters away and then quickly ran away.

Yang Xu did not stop and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, but his body leaned forward slightly, and the spear in his hand was ready to go.

Within a few seconds, a strange beast suddenly rushed out from the bushes behind and pounced on Yang Xu.

[Encounter the Second Era Beast 'Shan Hui' (LV8): A wind-type monster, resembling a wolf that walks upright, but with a human face. Its body is covered in hard scales, and its fangs and claws are as sharp as knives. It is commonly found in dense forests and mountains.]

The strange beast was extremely fast and rushed behind Yang Xu almost instantly.

Fortunately, Yang Xu was well prepared. The moment Shan Hui's claws were about to touch him, he dodged the attack easily. Then he swung the spear in his hand suddenly. The tip of the spear swept in an arc, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, it hit Shan Hui's side hard.

With a muffled thud, Shan Hui let out a shrill scream, his body was knocked back several meters and hit heavily against a big tree.

After being blown away by the blow, Shan Hui quickly got up. The expression of the human face above his head became distorted, and suddenly he opened his mouth wide. A fishy mountain wind swept past, and the surrounding leaves were rustling. Circles of wind eyes quickly formed around Yang Xu.

Yang Xu did not retreat but advanced. While the wind formation had not yet taken shape, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, stepped out of the wind formation in a few steps, and rushed towards the mountain like an arrow, swinging the spear in his hand again.

"Oh!"

Another shot swept across, and Shan Hui, who was casting a spell, was unable to dodge and was blown several meters away. He hit a big tree and fell to the ground.

Shan Hui, who was hit hard again, showed horror on his face. He covered the bloody wound on his abdomen and stood up to flee towards the forest behind him.

Seeing the prey right in front of him, how could Yang Xu let it escape? He immediately activated Fengxing, and his body turned into an afterimage and rushed out. He arrived first and instantly surpassed Shan Hui. He turned around and thrust out the spear in his hand. This time, the tip of the spear was pointing directly at Shan Hui's head.

"Pfft!"

The spearhead pierced Shan Hui's head with pinpoint accuracy, sending blood spurting out. Shan Hui's body convulsed violently several times before he collapsed to the ground helplessly.

“What a powerful gun!!!”

Yang Xu looked at Shan Hui who was lying on the ground, feeling both surprised and delighted.

This was the first time he felt so clearly the qualitative change in strength brought about by high-quality weapons!
If he used an ordinary spear, he would certainly have no problem defeating Shan Hui, but it would definitely take much longer, and he would need to slowly wear him down with one shot at a time.

But now, armed with a weapon of epic stats, he easily dispatched a Level 8 demon beast with just three shots, a fight lasting less than five seconds! Yang Xu had grown accustomed to the Dao Tong Skin's shattering attack power, essentially defeating the stronger with the weaker, slowly wearing down his opponent. Until this time, he finally experienced the thrill of an instant kill!
After Shan Hui died, his body did not disappear like the Mirror Ghost on Blue Star, but still lay quietly on the ground.

Yang Xu walked forward, cut open Shan Hui's belly with the tip of his gun, and after searching around, he quickly found a demon pill the size of a glass bead.

The demon pill is dark red all over, emitting a faint white light on the surface, and one can faintly feel the spiritual power contained in it.

[Mountain Blowing Demon Pill (1 star): A demon pill left behind by a dead demon beast from the Second Era. Contains abundant spiritual power and demonic energy. It can be used to restore spiritual power or exchanged for spirit stones in the market. It can also be fed to a demon beast, instantly granting it a large amount of experience and the temporary skill "Mountain Wind."]

The demon pill is actually equivalent to the mirror ghost fragments after killing the mirror ghost, but it has more functions than the fragments. It can be sold as a spiritual object for money, or it can be taken back to feed the sickle weasel.

Yang Xu stored the demon pill into the inventory and clicked on the panel to take a look.

[Kill the LV8 monster Shan Hui and gain 102 experience points.]

[Young Yang Jian's skin is upgraded to level 2, all attributes improved, experience value: 2/150.]

[Progress of searching the mountain and conquering demons: 1%.]

Killing monsters in the Second Era does require experience, but there are no points or land rewards. It seems to be more disadvantageous than killing mirror ghosts, but don’t forget, there are more monsters here!

There are many mirror ghost wolves with little meat on Blue Star, and you can only see one every few days, but in this world, monsters are everywhere!
After killing all 100 monsters, how many levels can he reach? How many resources can he obtain?
After simply dealing with Shan Hui's body, Yang Xu was full of confidence and continued to explore the mountains with a gun.

In the next two hours, Yang Xu encountered a tree spirit and three human-faced owls, all of which were one star. The three human-faced owls were in a monster nest. After meeting, they besieged Yang Xu together. This flying monster was a little troublesome, but Yang Xu still used the time stop to block the position and kill them one by one.

After killing the four monsters, Yang Jian's skin will be upgraded to level 3.

"The efficiency is a bit low..."

Yang Xu stood on the edge of a cliff halfway up the mountain, looked up at the sky, and couldn't help frowning.

It was the afternoon, the sun had begun to set, and the light in the mountains became dimmer.

It took him two hours to find four monsters, three of which were in a nest. He was extremely dissatisfied with the efficiency of finding monsters.

If he continued to kill at this rate, even if he stayed up all night, he would probably be able to kill thirty or forty monsters by dawn.

Including the one-day trip next week, if my luck is a little worse, it’s hard to say whether I can kill enough goblins.

Yang Xu was a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only hope for better luck and to encounter as many monsters as possible.

Just as Yang Xu was about to go deeper into the forest.

Suddenly, a white animal shadow suddenly emerged from the bushes behind him and pounced on his back.

Although Yang Xu's super sense was suppressed, he was still able to notice that the other party had rushed to such a close distance. Sensing the location of the thing, he quickly turned around and swept out with the spear in his hand.

"Woo!"

The white shadow was hit by the gun barrel, and let out a series of miserable whimpers. It was whipped away with great force and hit the tree trunk heavily.

Yang Xu thought it was another mountain monster attacking him, and was about to rush forward to finish him off. However, just as he took a step, he suddenly saw the appearance of the thing clearly.

What landed in the distance was actually a little white dog!

The little white dog was covered in white fur and looked to be no more than a few months old. Although it was hit hard by a bullet, it did not seem to be seriously injured. After falling to the ground, it jumped up hurriedly, pressed down its front legs, and grinned at Yang Xu with its round eyes showing a bit of vigilance and anger.

"White dog! Could it be..." Yang Xu's heart moved.

After the little white dog in front stood up, it glared at Yang Xu, but its feet had already started to move quietly. It circled Yang Xu half a circle, suddenly began to accelerate, and ran wildly on all fours. After several irregular leaps in the woods, it suddenly made a feint, and flashed behind Yang Xu, rushing towards him again, opening its mouth to bite his hind legs.

How could Yang Xu be hit at such a close distance? He easily dodged the attack with a lift of his right foot, then stabbed it with his spear, the tip of the spear piercing the white dog's path.

The white dog panicked and kicked around, barely stopping a few centimeters in front of the gun blade.

After missing the attack, the white dog immediately wanted to get up and run away, but Yang Xu did not give it a chance. He raised his spear and gently flicked the spear shaft, easily knocking the little white dog to the ground.

The white dog reacted quickly enough and tried to struggle and jump up as soon as it landed.

As a result, a big hand suddenly attacked from behind, pressed its neck, and forced it back to the ground.

"Comrade Xiao An, you are not an assassin now!" Yang Xu said with a smile.

From the murderous aura and smart eyes of the little white dog just now, he has confirmed that this white dog is definitely the Bloody Darkness.

This guy turned into a dog and lost his human form. He actually planned to use an assassin's fighting style to attack him by surprise. Naturally, he was badly defeated.

Unexpectedly, the little white dog on the ground became even more angry after hearing this, and actually spoke in human language: "It's you! You liar!"

"What are you talking about? When did I ever lie to you? Just tell me whether you got the legendary skin or not!"
