Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

After observing the situation ahead, they...

Currently, the first to engage are all mid- to low-level Snow Demon Wolves.

It is still unable to pose a threat to Nangong Qingtan and her second-tier spirit beast.

Seeing how easily the woman handled the situation, Lin Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

Previously, some magical power was used up in order to help Su Xuyan recover as soon as possible, and it needs to be replenished in time.

In my memory, 'Master Tiandu' had an experience of being surrounded by a flock of crows in his early years.

This protracted battle against the beasts becomes increasingly dangerous as it progresses, and it truly tests one's mental fortitude.

Before that, you must do your best to keep your magical power abundant.

Su Xuyan was also taking the time to adjust her breathing.

But not long after, she opened her eyes to look around the cave, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly as she prepared to get up.

"Fellow Daoist Su, why don't you rest a little longer and come to relieve me later?"

Lin Changsheng interrupted first, speaking naturally.

Since he intended for the two to owe him a favor, Lin Changsheng decided to take the initiative, which would be more likely to win their favor.

"Very well, Fellow Daoist Lin, please be careful and do not force yourself."

Su Xuyan's eyebrows relaxed, and her words became slightly more intimate, indicating that she already regarded Lin Changsheng as a friend who had 'shared hardships'.

"Ow~"

At that moment, a deafening wolf howl echoed through the cave.

It's Nangong Qingtan's silverback wolf!

Su Xuyan's expression changed slightly.

Lin Changsheng's figure flickered, and he appeared at the cave entrance.

Outside, there were already many snow wolf corpses piled up, their bodies stained with blood.

But even more snow demon wolves continued to pour into the cave entrance.

The cave is narrow, which helps prevent being surrounded by wolves.

However, they also have no way to avoid the endless stream of snow demon wolves.

The silverback wolf practically blocked the cave entrance with its massive body.

The ants kill the elephant.

Under the relentless attacks of the wolf pack, even the second-tier Silverback Wolf suffered increasing wounds.

In a moment of carelessness, he was caught in the wolf pack and injured in the abdomen by a first-tier peak snow demon wolf, letting out a painful roar.

Suddenly, the ground glowed with a pale yellow light.

Several sharp earth spikes emerged from below, piercing through the abdomen of the first-tier peak snow demon wolf.

The demon wolf, in pain, released its grip on the silverback wolf's belly.

Lin Changsheng remained calm and activated the cyan magic talisman in his hand once again.

A dozen invisible wind blades condensed and flew out.

A slight whooshing sound rang out, and several snow demon wolves in front of them were instantly sliced ​​into pieces.

A brief vacuum zone appeared in the field.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, please go inside and rest. I will hold them off for a while."

Lin Changsheng switched the spell talisman in his hand, and after activating it, a thick earthen wall rose at the entrance of the cave, temporarily isolating the wolf pack from the outside.

"Thank you. If you can't hold on, Fellow Daoist Lin, please retreat into the cave in time."

Nangong Qingtan's pretty face turned a little pale, and her breathing became a little rapid, which was a sign of continuous depletion of her magical power.

Before long, the earthen wall was breached by the wolf pack.

Lin Changsheng had anticipated this, and immediately activated a first-tier high-quality defensive spell talisman, forming a defensive shield around his body.

At the same time, various control-type runes are activated in an orderly manner.

Quicksand spell, thorn spell, earth prison spell, rolling stone spell...

The variety of low- to mid-level spells is dazzling and overwhelming.

They made the attacking wolf pack suffer greatly.

Upon seeing this, Lin Changsheng took out a crimson token, the Fire Separation Token.

With a gentle push of magic, wisps of crimson flames emerged from it.

The area in front of them turned into a sea of ​​fire.

In an instant, more than a dozen snow demon wolves perished in the attack.

Lin Changsheng leaped forward and engaged in close combat with the few remaining, barely clinging to life Snow Demon Wolves.

With a single punch, he smashed the skull of a snow wolf.

Then he swung the demon wolf's hind leg and hurled it hard into the wolf pack.

A first-tier late-stage body refinement, combined with defensive spell runes, provides a significant advantage in close-quarters combat among beast hordes, while also reducing the user's mana consumption.

It's a pity the cave is narrow; otherwise, using weapons would have allowed for a greater exertion of the body-refining power.

Women like Nangong Qingtan and Su Xuyan may possess protective methods beyond their current level, allowing them to handle second-tier demonic beasts with ease.

However, in the face of the beast horde's attack, Lin Changsheng's endurance far surpassed that of the two of them.

After about an hour, Lin Changsheng had only used up less than a third of his magical power, even while holding back some of his abilities.

At this moment, Su Xuyan finished her meditation and took over from Lin Changsheng.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you've worked hard. Please rest and recuperate as soon as possible. I will take over the defense from now on."

With a sharp cry, the woman unleashed a long, cyan sword.

As he manipulated the magic seals in his hands, the longsword automatically disintegrated into nine palm-sized flying blades.

Each flying blade possesses power no less than that of a high-grade magic weapon.

The nine flying blades subtly corresponded to a mysterious pattern, seemingly some kind of sword formation.

Under the woman's urging, several snow demon wolves died in an instant.

Lin Changsheng did not refuse. While marveling at the exquisite sword formation of this woman, he silently withdrew into the cave behind him.

After checking his own talisman consumption, he began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Over the next few days, the three of them took turns doing this.

Faced with the relentless attacks of the wolf pack, not only was their magical power depleted, but their mental state was also constantly on edge.

However, Su Xuyan had been injured by the white ape earlier.

Even with Lin Changsheng's treatment, the injury was only stabilized; he would need at least one or two months of quiet recuperation.

With such frequent battles against the wolves, Su Xuyan's injuries worsened.

But he didn't want to hold everyone back, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

On the other side, Nangong Qingtan's second-tier silverback demon wolf also suffered serious injuries after repeated battles.

Fortunately, Lin Changsheng distributed Purple Rain Talismans to everyone, which barely kept them afloat.

Even so, the two women's magical power gradually became insufficient, and the burden of resisting the wolf pack fell mostly on Lin Changsheng.

At this moment, the ever-renewing power of the "Eternal Spring of Withered Trees" within his body fully demonstrated its advantages.

The next night.

The second-tier alpha wolf, which had been eyeing the pack covetously, finally couldn't resist making its move.

They hid among the wolves and sneaked in quietly.

Lin Changsheng had already sensed this and dared not be careless.

The two women, who were recuperating, also joined forces to resist the fierce attack of the second-tier snow demon wolf.

The two women revealed all their trump cards, with Su Xuyan even using a wisp of sword energy left behind by an elder of the Shangqing Palace.

He killed a Tier 2 early-stage Snow Demon Wolf on the spot.

These second-tier snow demon wolves were quite intelligent. Sensing the danger, they all retreated and formed a perimeter around the area.

This gave Lin Changsheng and his group a chance to catch their breath.

On the morning of the third day.

A powerful and sharp aura descended upon the valley above.

Lin Changsheng instantly sensed this unfamiliar aura.

He was a human cultivator!

As he landed, a powerful aura emanated from the middle-aged man's body.

The sheer aura was enough to frighten the wolves above the valley, who tucked their tails between their legs and fled in panic!

The tall, imposing figure of the man stood quietly in the valley.

A flash of inspiration struck, and suddenly a huge, ferocious black python appeared beneath my feet.

The giant python's cold, dark eyes stared at the several second-tier snow demon wolves below, as if it had spotted some good food.

The enormous body, over ten zhang long, shot out, opening its blood-red maw to tear at the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"That's our family's third-tier demonic python, Bloodfang. Uncle Hongzhi has arrived!"

The worry on Nangong Qingtan's face vanished instantly, and her furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"Nangong Hongzhi, the pseudo-core cultivator stationed in Thousand Crane Immortal City?"

Lin Changsheng was surprised. Having lived in Thousand Crane Immortal City for many years, he had naturally heard of the deeds of this fake Core Formation cultivator.
