nThe atmosphere became strange.

nAt this moment, the remaining man broke the silence.

n“Xu Zhiliang, stop wasting time. The three of us can work together to take him down. At most, I’ll let you go first after we deal with this,” Hu Yinglong urged.

n“I was just waiting for you to say that.”

nAs soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhiliang took the lead and soared into the sky.

nHe pulled out the long saber from his back and swung his arm forward.

nA line of slashes suddenly appeared in the air.

nThe two ends of the slash were more than 10 meters apart, and with a slashing sound, several trees along the way collapsed.

nShen Qiushui, who had been blinded by anger, quickly followed.

n“Swish…”

nSix flying knives shot out in the shape of a hexagram in midair.

nThen, the saber and sword became one, and internal force covered her entire body. Her entire body spun like a top.

nThe longsword in the middle, combined with the hexagram formed by the six flying knives, created a vortex several times larger than before. The suction force was also increased by more than 10 times.

n“And me!”

nHu Yinglong shouted and was the last to join in the attack.

nHe jumped up bare-handed and kicked at the air in midair. He changed direction and charged over from the side of the masked man.

nAt the same time, his body moved like an agile loach as he easily switched to a different stance and kicked out.

nSeven yellow rings appeared on his entire leg. The rings automatically moved down to his feet and finally gathered to form a larger and brighter golden ring.

nA powerful binding force could be felt from the distance of more than 10 meters.

nChen Yiming’s expression didn’t change at all when faced with the combined attacks of three skilled warriors. He didn’t even take a step forward.

n“Could it be that I have an attribute that can offend others? I can’t even have a moment of peace.” Chen Yiming sighed to himself.

nInitially, he did not intend to kill anyone. After all, the threat of the beast tide had not been eliminated, and one more warrior was one more source of strength.

nHowever, this did not mean that he could accept the three of them attacking him. At most, he would help them complete their responsibilities when the beast tide came.

nAfter all, his stamina would not be exhausted. It was just a matter of time.

n“You guys are the ones who are courting death. You can’t blame me.”

nAs soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of sword shadows suddenly shot out from the dense forest, and silver light lit up half the night sky.

nLooking down from the sky, the area within 100 meters of the silver light was like an explosion of fireworks.

nEven the underground river at the bottom of the Plum Blossom Sky Pit rippled, but it quickly calmed down again.

n“Rumble…”

nThe sound of thunder came from the horizon.

nWithin a kilometer or two of the Plum Blossom Sky Pit, the mutant beasts that had lived in the area for many years had already run away.

nThe forest was silent except for the breathing of the masked man and Mo Yanfei.

nOne of them was breathing much faster, while the other was breathing at an extremely long interval. It took more than a minute for the sound of breathing to repeat itself.

nChen Yiming first searched the corpses of the two men. Then, in front of Mo Yanfei, he tore Shen Qiushui’s long dress into pieces and carefully searched her body for valuable items.

nIt only took a few minutes.

nChen Yiming found nothing from Shen Qiushui. He only found one concept diagram from Xu Zhiliang and Hu Yinglong, which corresponded to a saber technique and a kick technique.

nThe saber technique and kick technique were of limited use to him, so he was a little disappointed.

nChen Yiming turned around and asked, “Does Shen Qiushui have such a low status in the Shen family? Is she not allowed to have the concept diagram of the cultivation technique on her when she goes out?”

n“Huh?” The coldness and tyrannical strength displayed by the masked man made Mo Yanfei feel both love and fear. She subconsciously responded to him.

nIn the next second, she quickly replied, “Shen Qiushui was just engaged not long ago. This might be the reason.”

n“Oh? How strong is the other party’s clan?” Chen Yiming asked.

n“It’s a clan from the provincial city. They have a warrior who has mastered the transformation of internal force,” Mo Yanfei replied truthfully.

nChen Yiming threw this matter to the back of his mind.

nIf he could successfully find the sword manual left at the bottom of the pit, he could try to master the transformation of his internal force when he returned to the city.

nWith his Level-2 swordsmanship talent and Level-1 Undying Body talent, he was not afraid of any enemy of the same level.

nThe two of them walked forward for dozens of meters and arrived at the edge of the pit.

n“That’s where the sword-wielding warrior died.” Mo Yanfei pointed at the bottom of the pit.

nChen Yiming looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a cave on the wall about 10 meters away from the bottom of the pit.

nThe diameter of the cave was two to three meters, and it was unknown how deep it was.

n“At that time, that warrior was escaping and was hit by one of the giant three-tailed turtle’s tails,” Mo Yanfei explained.

nChen Yiming raised an eyebrow.

nTo be able to instantly kill an ordinary warrior, the giant three-tailed turtle’s internal force must lean towards the strength attribute.

nRen Pingsheng’s internal force attribute leaned towards toughness, so he could deal with it by using a large quantity of his own internal force.

nHowever, no matter how many layers of internal force he used, it was still possible for him to break through the giant three-tailed turtle’s internal force that leaned towards strength with a single strike.

nAlthough the Level-1 Undying Body talent gave him a powerful resistance to injuries, there was no need for him to put himself in danger. He could rely on his speed to dodge attacks from strength-based enemies.

nThe lightning internal force increased one’s reaction speed. It was clearly more suitable than the piercing internal force.

n“Go somewhere further away and wait for me,” Chen Yiming instructed.

nMo Yanfei nodded and turned to hurry away.

nChen Yiming sat down cross-legged.

nThe small figure in his spiritual world turned into a lightning diagram and began to cultivate his lightning internal force. In the outside world, he continuously released streams of piercing internal force, decreasing the piercing internal force in his body and increasing the lightning internal force.

nAfter nearly an hour, Chen Yiming stood up again.

nThe reason why he had wasted so much time was because the recovery speed with the Level-1 Undying Body talent was too fast.

nHe jumped dozens of meters and with one step, fell straight towards the cave.

nThe giant three-tailed turtle’s cultivation level was higher than his, so as long as he went into the pit, it would be impossible to hide from it. Therefore, he decided to obtain the sword manual as soon as possible.

n“Whoosh…”

nThe sound of rushing wind rang out continuously.

nAs he fell, the temperature dropped lower and lower. When he approached the bottom of the pit, the temperature was already close to zero.

n“Bang!”

nA loud sound rang out.

nChen Yiming created a hole more than 10 meters wide at the bottom of the pit.

nImmediately after, he soared into the sky and entered the cave that was more than 10 meters above.

nAs soon as he entered the cave, he saw a withered corpse.

n“Is this a concept diagram?”

nChen Yiming looked at the six or seven fragments with patterns on them lying on the chest of the corpse.

nThe edges of each fragment were irregular. Clearly, the concept diagram had also been damaged by the attack.

nWithout thinking about whether the damaged concept diagram could be used, Chen Yiming put away the fragments and turned to leave.

n“Roar!”

nA beast’s roar suddenly sounded out. In a partially enclosed environment like the pit, it was as deafening as thunder.

n“This big guy is deliberately trying to lure me down,” Chen Yiming said with a smile.

nHe could roughly guess what the giant three-tailed turtle was thinking. After guarding the strange tree for so many years, other than when it was eating aquatic mutant beasts in the underground river, it was probably sleeping.

nThe concept diagrams left behind by the ordinary warriors who had died in the pit would definitely not interest those who had mastered the transformation of internal force. They would only attract ordinary warriors.

nTo the giant three-tailed turtle, the ordinary warriors were like a mouse to a cat. It was just a small game to pass the time.

nChen Yiming stepped out of the cave and saw the complete appearance of the giant three-tailed turtle.

nThe giant three-tailed turtle was walking out from the bottom of the river. It was more than 20 meters long, and the shell on its back had sharp edges. Its pillar-like limbs supported its entire body. It was about 10 meters tall.

nThe most eye-catching thing was its tails. Three huge tails that were more than 20 meters long and covered in barbs were raised high and were waving about continuously, stirring up the air in the pit.

nA ferocious head protruded from the turtle’s shell. Its surface was covered with a layer of shell, and its two large eyes were staring at the masked man in front of the cave.

nThis was the first time Chen Yiming had seen a mutant beast more than 20 meters long. The process of the giant three-tailed turtle surfacing from the bottom of the river was like a small island appearing out of thin air.

nIts body was more than 20 meters long, and it had three huge tails that were more than 20 meters long. Its total length was nearly 50 meters.

nWhether it was the three alien bird creatures of more than 10 meters that had attacked East Lake City, or the giant blazing sun lizard that Chen Yiming had encountered in the Nuhe Mountain Range, when compared to the giant three-tailed turtle, their sizes were several levels apart, just like the difference between an infant and an adult.
