I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

Fortunately, Tang Doudou still had the spirit stones given to her by Elder Guo. After paying the entrance fee, she was able to enter the mountain with the mercenary group.

After entering the mountain, Tang Doudou found that a light mist was everywhere, and the surrounding trees were tall and ancient, exuding a mysterious aura.

The mercenaries looked serious, constantly alert to their surroundings. Tang Doudou looked around curiously, her heart filled with excitement.

"There are many giant beasts in this forest, be careful," the captain quickly reminded him.

Tang Doudou nodded. The mercenary group had its own mission, and she was already very grateful that they were taking her along.

Suddenly, a deep roar came from ahead, like the sound of some kind of giant beast.

The mercenary group quickly formed a defensive formation, protecting Tang Doudou in the middle.

Suddenly, a monster resembling a wild boar, covered in sharp spikes, charged out. Its eyes were bloodshot and radiated a fierce light.

Wild boars are large, sometimes twice the size of a human, and their sharp teeth are particularly intimidating.

The commander shouted, "Everyone be careful, this is an Iron-skinned Boar, it's tough and hard to deal with."

Everyone drew their weapons, and for a moment, magical light and the cold glint of swords flashed and clashed.

However, while these moves injured the wild boar, they also successfully provoked its anger!

The wild boar charged wildly, breaking through the mercenary group's encirclement, and charged towards Tang Doudou.

The guild leader gasped. They were helpless against such a large wild boar, so there was certainly nothing they could do against a Foundation Establishment stage girl.

When Tang Doudou saw the wild boar running over, she quickly drew her Moon Shadow Sword and imbued it with fire spirit power, instantly making the flames incredibly hot.

Using the fire elemental power as a cover, Tang Doudou concealed a trace of runic power within!

Seeing that Tang Doudou was advancing instead of retreating and rushing towards the Iron-Spiked Pig, everyone rushed to help.

Just as she was about to reach it, she suddenly leaped up and, using the momentum of her fall, stabbed the wild boar in the head.

Sensing danger, the Iron-Spiked Boar shifted its body to the side, and Tang Doudou's sword pierced its shoulder blade. Although the blow was not fatal, it caused the Iron-Spiked Boar considerable pain, and it thrashed its body wildly.

Tang Doudou gripped the sword hilt tightly, swinging back and forth in the air. It seemed the runic power wasn't enough; Tang Doudou channeled even more runic power into the sword.

The Moon Shadow Sword unleashed a powerful light, piercing directly through the Ironthorn Boar's shoulder blade and embedding itself deep within its body.

The Iron-Spiked Boar let out a miserable scream and collapsed to the ground. Everyone who saw this was astonished.

The troupe leader couldn't help but exclaim, "This young lady has such talent at such a young age!"

Tang Doudou smiled, pulled her sword from the wild boar, and said, "Thank you for the compliment, it was just luck."

After this battle, the mercenary group looked at Tang Doudou with new respect and treated her with even greater enthusiasm.

The group was no longer as reserved as before, and instead started talking about their treasure hunting experiences, which Tang Doudou listened to with great interest.

Following them seemed to offer more opportunities to connect with the world, and the fact that they protected her warmed Tang Doudou's heart.

The group continued forward; their target this time was a magical herb. This herb was needed to craft a tenth-grade elixir.

The earliest alchemy used herbs, but these herbs had low efficacy and could only be used to make first- and second-grade pills.

Third-grade pills must use spiritual herbs, and there are many spiritual herbs here. Apart from some special spiritual herbs, all the other spiritual herbs are cultivated by the ten major families.

But immortal herbs usually grow in dangerous places. The deeper you go, the thicker the fog becomes, making it almost impossible to see what's in front of you.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted over, and everyone's spirits lifted, knowing that they were not far from the immortal herb.

However, along with the fragrance came a dangerous sense of oppression.

"Everyone be careful, there might be a powerful entity guarding the immortal herb nearby," the leader warned in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge python appeared before them, its scales shimmering with a cold light, and its eyes as big as lanterns.

"This is a Azure Scale Python. It looks like it has already reached the Transformation stage!" someone exclaimed in fear.

Tang Doudou took a deep breath and gripped the Moon Shadow Sword tightly. The Transformation Stage was far too difficult for everyone.

But the magic herb is right in front of us, should we give up?

The mercenaries exchanged glances, and the leader nodded. They had already taken countless risks, and backing down in the face of danger was not in their nature.

Everyone nodded, and then various attacks were launched at the Azure Scale Python. However, the Azure Scale Python easily dodged them and even spat out venom to fight back.

Tang Doudou seized the opportunity, using her agile movements to approach the Azure Scale Python, and poured all her rune power and fire spirit power into the Moon Shadow Sword, aiming for the python's vital spot.

Sensing danger, the blue-scaled python swept its tail, sending Tang Doudou flying.

Tang Doudou fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if her internal organs had shifted. But she gritted her teeth and got up again.

The attacks from the other mercenaries continued, but the Azure Scale Python remained almost unharmed.

A resolute glint flashed in Tang Doudou's eyes as she took out a talisman from her storage bag, which she had prepared before the adventure.

Tang Doudou formed hand seals, activating the talisman, and a golden light enveloped her in an instant. She charged at the Azure Scale Python again, several times faster than before.

The Azure Scaled Python was caught off guard by Tang Doudou's attack. Tang Doudou seized the opportunity and her Moon Shadow Sword pierced its vital spot with unerring accuracy.
