In the fantasy world, all the people I met were beauties.

After a long journey, Li Zimo finally arrived at Yinyue Town at the foot of Linyuan Mountains as night fell.

He came to an inn called "Youjian Inn".

This inn may look ordinary, but there is a spirit gathering array in the room. For those who practice cultivation, it is undoubtedly an excellent place to rest.

Although one spirit stone was needed to stay there for one day, Li Zimo moved in without hesitation considering that he had thousands of spirit stones on hand.

After entering the room, Li Zimo immediately felt the rich spiritual energy brought by the spirit gathering array.

He sat cross-legged, took out the pill and swallowed it. He immediately felt relaxed all over, and his cultivation seemed to have improved slightly.

With the dual assistance of the spirit gathering array, spirit stones, and elixirs, his cultivation speed was much faster than usual.

Li Zimo was delighted and devoted himself to cultivation even more attentively.

He knew very well that this trip to the Shiwandashan Mountains was full of dangers, and only by constantly improving his strength could he better cope with unknown challenges.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell on Yinyue Town, Li Zimo slowly woke up from his cultivation.

He felt the spiritual power surging in his body, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After a night of practice, his cultivation level improved further.

After leaving the inn, Li Zimo walked eastward along the street, which was closest to the Linyuan Mountains and was one of the areas where cultivators were most active.

The eastern corner of the town gradually wakes up with the gentle embrace of the morning light, and has become a bustling scene.

The crowd was bustling, some standing and some sitting, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation, as they enthusiastically discussed the plan of forming a team to hunt the monsters.

Amidst the clamor, a woman stood out like a crane among chickens and instantly attracted Li Zimo's attention.

Her facial features are exquisite and picturesque, her legs are long and straight, and her bright eyes sparkle with heroism and determination, as if they can see into people's hearts.

She was wearing tight combat clothing that perfectly outlined her tall and graceful figure.

In her, beauty and strength are perfectly combined, making her the focus of everyone's attention.

Just as Li Zimo awkwardly withdrew his somewhat dazed gaze, the heroic woman seemed to sense something and gently turned her head, her clear eyes meeting his briefly.

At that moment, there seemed to be a subtle atmosphere in the air, which made Li Zimo even more embarrassed to avoid looking at him, and his embarrassment was beyond words.

Just when he was feeling mixed emotions, a female voice full of energy and vigor suddenly rang out, instantly breaking the delicate tranquility.

Next to the heroic woman, a lively and lovely girl was standing not far away, waving her arms and shouting enthusiastically:

"Teams are open for martial artists above level 4! Hunt monsters and earn spirit stones. Come on! Only one is needed! First come, first served!"

Her voice was clear and melodious, like a spring leaping in the woods, instantly attracting the attention of those around her.

Seeing this, Li Zimo hurriedly walked towards the lively and lovely girl and said:

"Excuse me, do we need any more team members here? I'm a fifth-level martial artist, and I'm good at swordsmanship."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling immediately turned to look at Li Zimo, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She looked Li Zimo up and down, and was obviously quite satisfied with the strength and temperament of this newcomer.

"A fifth-level martial artist who's also good at swordsmanship? Great! We need a swordsman companion!"

Xiao Ling said excitedly, then took Li Zimo's arm and led him to the heroic woman.

"Captain, this is Li Zimo, a fifth-level martial artist and swordsman!"

Xiao Ling introduced, while giving the heroic woman a questioning look.

The heroic woman nodded slightly, her eyes lingering on Li Zimo for a moment, and then she said softly:

"Li Zimo, welcome to our team. I'm Zhao Yanran, the team's captain, and a sixth-level martial artist. This gentle and lovely beauty is Wen Wan'er, our vice-captain, a physician, and a fifth-level martial artist."

Wen Wan'er smiled when she heard this and saluted Li Zimo: "Hello, I'm Wen Wan'er, and I'm very happy to be traveling with you. Please take care of me on the rest of the journey."

Her voice is soft and warm, which makes people feel good.

The lively and lovely girl jumped aside and added:

"Haha, my name is Xiao Ling, and I'm also a fifth-level martial artist. But my reconnaissance and trap-setting abilities are unmatched in the team! Li Zimo, we'll be teammates fighting side by side from now on!"

Her lively personality instantly infected the atmosphere of the scene.

At this time, Feng Wuhen, who had been standing next to him, also spoke lightly:

"Feng Wuhen, a sixth-level martial artist, his swordsmanship is quite decent."

Although the words were concise, the tone revealed a strength that should not be underestimated.

Li Zimo responded with a polite smile and introduced himself:

"My name is Li Zimo, a fifth-level martial artist. My swordsmanship is decent, and my agility is pretty good. I'm new here, so please give me some pointers."

Zhao Yanran nodded and said coldly:

"Now that everyone is here, let's formally introduce our goals for this trip."

"Our target is the Nether Shadow Wolf deep in the Shadow Forest."

"These monsters are cunning and powerful, especially their speed, and they are even more elusive at night."

"But the 'Heart of the Netherworld' hidden in their nest is an extremely precious refining material with a very high market value."

Wen Waner smiled and added:

"Furthermore, the Nether Shadow Wolves have been frequently attacking explorers recently, threatening the safety of the surrounding areas. Our operation this time can be considered as eliminating this threat to the people."

Xiao Ling also said excitedly:

"Yeah, yeah! I also heard that the fur of the Nether Shadow Wolf is also very beautiful. It would definitely be super cool if it were made into clothing!"

Feng Wuhen smiled slightly, but his eyes were extremely firm, and he said:

"In that case, let's end this quickly and not give them another chance to harm innocent people."

Li Zimo nodded in agreement:

"I agree. Let's set off as soon as possible to avoid being overtaken by others."

Zhao Yanran looked around at everyone before speaking:

"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's get ready and set off for Shadow Forest immediately. Remember, we are a team, and mutual trust and support are the key to success. Let's go!"

Following Zhao Yanran's order, everyone packed up their equipment and confidently embarked on the journey of hunting the Nether Shadow Wolf.

The moment they stepped into the Linyuan Mountains, they seemed to have entered a completely different world.

The mountains stand tall and majestic, shrouded in clouds and mist. The sun occasionally penetrates the clouds, casting dappled light and shadows.

The mountain stream gurgles, and the sound of water and birdsong interweaves into a melodious song of nature.

However, this tranquility hides unknown dangers, which make people dare not slack off.

As we go deeper, the mountains become steeper and the trees become denser.

The path twists and turns, seemingly without end.

Zhao Yanran walked in front, the tip of her sword gently pushing away the weeds in front of her, and she observed her surroundings vigilantly.

Xiao Ling was jumping around, stopping from time to time, using her keen intuition to search for the traces of the Nether Shadow Wolf.

Just as everyone passed through a dense forest and came to an open area, Xiao Ling suddenly stopped and pointed solemnly at a shadow not far away:

"Look! There!"

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and saw three dark figures looming in the moonlight. They were the Nether Shadow Wolves!

Their eyes flashed a faint green light in the darkness, as if they could see through everything.

With Zhao Yanran's order, the battle broke out instantly.

Three Nether Shadow Wolves pounced on the crowd at astonishing speed. Their claws were as sharp as knives, and every attack was accompanied by a whistling sound that tore through the air.

Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Their swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and they engaged in a fierce confrontation with the Nether Shadow Wolf.

Wen Wan'er stood aside, ready to provide treatment to injured teammates at any time.

However, in this chaotic battle, a Nether Shadow Wolf suddenly bypassed the front line of defense and launched a sneak attack on Wen Wan'er silently.

At this critical moment, Li Zimo was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he flashed in front of Wen Wan'er.

The long sword in his hand turned into a silver light and accurately hit the side of the Nether Shadow Wolf.

The Nether Shadow Wolf felt pain and its attack suddenly stopped.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Zimo quickly used the Sky-Splitting Sword Technique. The sword light was like a weave, forcing the Nether Shadow Wolf to retreat again and again.

Seeing this, Wen Wan'er quickly took a few steps back and moved away from the danger zone.

With Li Zimo's restraint, Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

Their sword skills coordinated with each other, forming an impenetrable sword net that surrounded the Nether Shadow Wolf.

After a hard fight, the four Nether Shadow Wolves finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell in a pool of blood.

With the fall of the four Nether Shadow Wolves, the battle ended.

Everyone stood there panting, looking at each other, and saw fatigue and relief in each other's eyes.
