Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 55 Harsh Conditions

"Woo..."

With a wail, a first-level ferocious beast fell to the ground, and then a black spear was skillfully brought out by a young warrior, who was Jiang Xuan.

"There is no inner elixir." Old Sha, who was standing by, did not find any inner elixir after a simple inspection of the first-level ferocious beast.

Just like the ranks of vicious beasts, their inner elixirs also have ranks.

Although inner elixirs also have levels, they often do not correspond one-to-one with the levels of ferocious beasts. Sometimes there is a level difference between inner elixirs and ferocious beasts.

For example, a first-level ferocious beast may have a first-level inner elixir, but it may also have no inner elixir; and a second-level ferocious beast may have a second-level inner elixir, or it may only have a first-level inner elixir, and it is almost unlikely that it has no inner elixir.

In fact, the difference between the rank of fierce beasts and the rank of inner elixir is related to the formation of inner elixir. Each fierce beast has individual differences. Although fierce beasts of the same rank are roughly the same in strength, the formation of inner elixir is restricted by other factors, which also leads to the uncertainty of fierce beast inner elixir.

"Old Sha, I have something to do in Qizhou City tomorrow, so we may have to put the hunting on hold for a while." Jiang Xuan put away his black spear and said calmly while turning his back to Old Sha.

Jiang Xuan had been training in this forest for several days. He had agreed to meet Xu An tomorrow, so he had to inform Sha Lao in advance of his trip to Qizhou City. Otherwise, given Sha Lao's temper, if he entered the forest tomorrow and officially began hunting, he would never allow Jiang Xuan to leave before dark.

However, the problem facing Jiang Xuan is that Xu An has no connection with Sha Lao, so he cannot tell Sha Lao about the appointment with Xu An to meet at Yunchen Inn.

Mr. Sha might ask Jiang Xuan about the specific details of his trip to Qizhou City, but Jiang Xuan couldn't tell him about Xu An, which made him very embarrassed.

"How long?" asked Mr. Sha calmly.

"It depends on the situation. It may take a whole day." Jiang Xuan said stiffly.

"Yes. As long as you meet one condition." Jiang Xuan was pleasantly surprised by Mr. Sha's words, but at the same time he felt a little unsure.

Jiang Xuan was indeed a little surprised that Mr. Sha did not ask about the specific details of his trip to Qizhou City.

However, based on Jiang Xuan's understanding of Mr. Sha, the conditions he offered would definitely be very harsh.

"What conditions?" Jiang Xuan looked at Mr. Sha, waiting for him to state the conditions.

Old Sha held up two fingers and smiled at Jiang Xuan, saying, "Before dark, two second-level beasts."

"Mr. Sha, it's already afternoon. Two second-level ferocious beasts, isn't this a bit difficult?" Jiang Xuan said helplessly.

"Hehe, don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking yet. Hunt two second-level ferocious beasts, and you can't take any recovery medicine." Old Sha added with a smile.

"I can't take the recovery potion yet?" Jiang Xuan hesitated, then said with a firm face, "It's settled."

"You can't find a second-level ferocious beast just by looking for it. Hunting five first-level ferocious beasts can be counted as hunting one second-level ferocious beast." Old Sha added.

"I understand." Jiang Xuan said firmly.

Although the conditions for capturing two second-level beasts in such a short period of time were very demanding, Jiang Xuan was generally satisfied that Elder Sha could offer such conditions. At least, Elder Sha did not ask about the trip to Qizhou City.

However, subjective feelings are subjective. Objectively, it is still extremely difficult to hunt two second-level beasts before dark.

Hunting five first-level ferocious beasts is equivalent to hunting one second-level ferocious beast. Although it sounds more relaxed, it actually increases the difficulty.

One of the biggest restrictions on this beast hunting mission was the prohibition of taking healing elixirs, which effectively limited his ability to replenish his stamina. After several days of hunting, Jiang Xuan's proficiency had improved significantly. Under Elder Sha's guidance, he had also begun practicing the body movements gifted by Bei Hao and mastered a few more techniques of the Falling Leaf Spear. However, Jiang Xuan still couldn't find an effective solution to his rapidly depleting stamina.

With Jiang Xuan's current physical reserves, even at full strength, he can only fight against a second-level ferocious beast and a first-level ferocious beast in succession.

If you can only find a second-level ferocious beast before dark, then you still have to find five first-level ferocious beasts. In addition to fighting, it will take a lot of physical energy to search for the extra first-level ferocious beasts.

In order to meet the conditions proposed by Mr. Sha, Jiang Xuan had to further optimize his spear and body movements in battle, especially the Falling Leaf Spear Movement and the nameless body movement technique given to him by Bei Hao, the leader of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group.

"There is a second-level ferocious beast not far to the north. Let's start." After saying this, Old Sha walked north with his hands behind his back.

"Hooo!"

After Sha Lao and Jiang Xuan had walked north for about a cup of tea, they heard a low growl.

Like a standard hunting move, the two people walking side by side immediately found the nearest bush, lowered their bodies, and observed the movements in the distance through the gaps in the bushes.

"The bushes here are too dense, let's move forward a little." Old Sha whispered to Jiang Xuan beside him.

Jiang Xuan nodded, and together with Sha Lao, they moved to a bush further ahead.

The bushes here are relatively sparse, and through the gaps, a brown-fur lion appeared in the sight of Sha Lao and Jiang Xuan.

"Hooo!"

The brown lion growled again behind a big tree, with a hint of protest.

"Mr. Sha, is there someone behind that tree?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"Yes, there is someone. Congratulations, you hunted one and saved one, you made a profit." Old Sha smiled and pressed Jiang Xuan's fine iron shoulder armor.

After several days of training, Jiang Xuan's fine iron shoulder armor had many scratches.

As Sha Lao's hand pressed on Jiang Xuan's shoulder armor, a figure appeared behind the big tree in the distance.

"There is indeed someone behind the tree." Jiang Xuan sighed.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xuan began to lose his composure.

The man behind the tree was staggering forward. Judging from his walking posture, one of his legs was injured. Although the injury was not serious, it was a fatal injury that affected his ability to move in front of a second-level ferocious beast.

"It's a male lion with strong attack power. Its..." Before Old Sha finished his words, he saw the black spear flying into the air and Jiang Xuan had rushed out of the bushes.

"I've told you so many times, you can't just rely on momentum, you have to..." Old Sha paused again, eyebrows raised slightly, and said, "She's not a warrior, but I can sense that. She's actually a girl, a beautiful girl."

At this moment, Jiang Xuan rushed out of the bushes and then grasped the black spear tightly in his hand. He still did not realize that the injured person in the distance was a woman.
