Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 12: Double-tailed Scorpion (Please Read)
At noon, the disciples of the Second Branch gathered at the camp exit again.

Xiao Chen noticed that compared to the morning, about four or five fellow apprentices were missing, and they must have chosen to withdraw from the trial.

This is human nature. When faced with a life-threatening situation, even if the risk is not very high, it is inevitable to feel fear.

So, sometimes I really can’t understand what the sect’s top leaders are thinking.

After a simple drawing of lots, the disciples of the second branch chose different paths to enter the mountains.

This is also to allow them to stagger themselves and avoid too many people gathering together.

Of course, the sect did not force the disciples not to form teams.

It’s just that at this point, although everyone doesn’t have a very strong competitive relationship, they all face the pressure of trial points.

If several disciples walk together, the spirit beasts are not stupid and will definitely hide.

This would actually result in these disciples who formed a group failing to complete the trial requirements.

So even though many disciples were worried, more than half of them chose to act alone, and the remaining small half only formed teams of two.

The Feihong Mountains are a purely natural mountain range. Before this trial began, there was no human habitation in it, so naturally there were no ready-made roads.

This is because the mountains are filled with a large amount of miasma and contain certain toxins.

For mortals, inhaling too much of these toxins can cause illness or even death.

Fortunately, for cultivators, they can rely on magic power to eliminate the toxins, but their vision will be slightly affected, making it difficult to see things a hundred feet away.

Qi Refining cultivators are not yet able to project their spiritual consciousness, so they can only reduce their speed to avoid possible dangers.

Under such circumstances, the distance between different disciples quickly widened.

Ye Fei, who set out earlier than Xiao Chen, also discovered the traces of the spirit beast first.

He followed the broken branches and chased after it decisively, and soon found a black-armored turtle that was at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

After a fight, he successfully beheaded the enemy with the help of his flying sword and earned five points.

Ye Fei couldn't help but sigh: "This trial is indeed not easy. It took me two quarters of an hour to kill a black-armored turtle, and I almost got injured."

Replaying the battle process and looking at the stones pierced by the black-armored turtle, he discovered that these spirit beasts seemed to have taken some kind of drug, which made them extremely ferocious.

In fact, his guess was correct. Before being released into the mountains, all the spirit beasts were fed special medicines to stimulate their primitive ferocity.

Firstly, it is to increase the difficulty of the trial, and secondly, it is to prevent the spirit beast from escaping midway.

Otherwise, if the spirit beast realizes that it cannot win and runs away in the middle of the fight, things will become awkward.

However, this also means that once the spirit beast is injured, it will fight to the death, thus greatly increasing the danger of the trial.

Xiao Chen even met an injured junior brother who was heading back.

"Junior Brother Zhang, how are you? Are you okay?"

"It's Senior Brother Xiao. Alas, I encountered a double-tailed scorpion at the stream ahead. I was not paying attention and was stung by it."

"How is your injury? I'm quite good at water therapy. Do you need my help to heal it?"

Junior Brother Zhang waved his hand and sighed, "No need, I've already taken the elixir. Alas, it's a pity that I injured my thigh and can't continue to participate in the trial."

As he spoke, he warned, "Brother Xiao, you must be careful later. It's best to avoid that place and find another way through."

"That scorpion's tail is incredibly powerful. One can directly pierce through the golden light technique, with immense force. The other is incredibly fast, able to bypass the earthen shield and directly attack the cultivator himself."

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been tricked and almost killed by that beast."

As he spoke, his face turned pale, and he was obviously a little scared.

Xiao Chen bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for the reminder, Junior Brother. I will remember it."

After bidding farewell to Junior Brother Zhang, Xiao Chen formed the Golden Light Technique hand seals with his right hand, preparing for defense.

At the same time, he took out a light body talisman from his arms in advance, held it in his left hand, and then he could activate it with magic power.

Although he boasted of his powerful spells, he ultimately lacked practical combat experience, so a cautious approach was the best strategy. The Light Body Talisman allowed the cultivator to borrow a bit of wind power, reducing their weight and allowing them to move quickly.

Whether it is pursuit or escape, it is the best choice.

After walking out for a quarter of an hour, he saw a stream and broken trees not far away.

Adhering to the guiding ideology of picking the weakest persimmon to squeeze, Xiao Chen planned to let the double-tailed scorpion go, hurry on his way, and then consider catching other spirit beasts to accumulate points.

So he deliberately chose to take a detour through the grass on the right.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as we approached the grass, we heard a sound of something breaking through the air.

Xiao Chen subconsciously activated the Golden Light Technique. A stream of magic power in his dantian broke through his fingertips and instantly turned into a thick layer of golden light covering his body surface.

"Cang! Cang!"

Suddenly, there were continuous sounds of metal colliding, and a pair of scorpion tails pierced Xiao Chen's temples from the left and right, but hit the golden light.

It turned out that the double-tailed scorpion couldn't catch up, and because of the influence of the medicine, it didn't want to leave, so it actually ambushed in the grass nearby.

This sneak attack was truly unexpected. If it weren't for Xiao Chen's extremely powerful Golden Light Technique, he would have suffered a great loss on the spot.

"Chi~"

A wisp of smoke dissipated, and the talisman in his hand was activated by magic power, and immediately turned into a breeze, dragging Xiao Chen's body.

While quickly retreating to create distance, Xiao Chen stared at the pitch-black double-tailed scorpion and cast a fireball spell.

Although he practiced less frequently, his speed of performing the exercises was surprisingly fast, perhaps because his magic power circulated quickly.

Before the double-tailed scorpion rushed over, it successfully shot out a fist-sized fireball.

"Pfft~!"

There was no imagined flame, no expected spark.

The orange-red fireball blasted in from the left side of the double-tailed scorpion, passed through the right rear side, and hit the stone several feet away, causing a large ball of sparks to burst out.

what?
Xiao Chen took three steps and leaped back two feet, then he saw that the double-tailed scorpion had stopped in place and was no longer moving.

Ok?
Another breeze blew by, bringing with it the smell of burnt barbecue.

Is the double-tailed scorpion dead?
That's it?

The training room is ultimately a dead space. After seeing the results of his actual combat, Xiao Chen finally had a clear understanding of his own strength.

The effect of my Hextech is so powerful.

Facing a double-tailed scorpion at the fifth level of Qi Refining, he was able to kill it instantly with one strike.

You know, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to penetrate the shell of a spirit beast head-on.

It is difficult for an ordinary cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining to penetrate completely even with the help of a flying sword.

But now, Xiao Chen even needs to check whether he has damaged the points jade token.

"Fortunately, the jade token is fine."

Xiao Chen took out the jade token from the wound and washed it by the stream, revealing the clear number five on it.

Even if I knew before coming here, killing the spirit beast would not be difficult for me.

But the hunting process seemed to be simpler than he expected.

"Every point you get is three spirit stones."

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's eyes became eager: "This is not participating in the trial, this is simply picking up money!"

　Please read this, it's really important. Please!
