Chapter Seventy-Three: Xiao Ling's Fury

  "No, no, just asking." Su Wei hastily shook his head, afraid that Su Ming would misunderstand.

  "When the sky brightens, tell Xiao Ling to head in that direction. I guarantee you'll find a suitable fourth-tier demon beast for hunting within half a day." Su Ming said with a very casual tone, pointing towards the southeast direction, and after finishing speaking, he slightly closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to Su Wei.

  Seeing Su Ming like this, Su Wei's heart skipped a beat and he regretted it. He thought Su Ming must be angry because of his question just now. Wanting to explain but not knowing how to start, Su Wei sighed and also sat down in meditation.

  "Little elf, get out of my body." Su Ming shouted in his mind.

  "Master, what can I do for you?"

  "What kind of demon beast is the Starlight Mink?" Su Ming had been interested in the Starlight Mink since Zhou Changlao gave the order, because there was only one Starlight Mink in the Thousand Winds Marsh, which was enough to prove its extraordinariness.

  Xīng guāng diāo is a demonic beast with the bloodline of a divine beast, and can grow up to be a sixth-tier demonic beast. It is an auxiliary-type demonic beast. If a water-attribute warrior obtains it, their combat strength will increase to some extent.

  Upon hearing the sprite's explanation, Su Ming let out a sigh. He had originally wanted to take advantage of this task to capture a fourth-tier demon beast for himself and raise his Devouring Heaven Technique to the Blood Pulse Realm. But upon hearing that it was an aquatic attribute demon beast, he suddenly lost all interest.

  "Young master, I think the Western City Palace wants to capture this demon beast for a water-attribute warrior. You don't need to worry about it anymore. When I find a suitable demon beast for you, I'll let you know."

  At this time, Su Ming's mind emerged with that delicate and exquisitely carved jade face, was it for her to capture? As soon as he thought of the beautiful woman Wen Yu Ke, Su Ming's heart accelerated unnaturally.

  The night quietly passed, and the east showed a faint white color. The warriors one by one woke up from their meditation. At this time, Su Wei walked to Xiao Ling's side, softly telling Xiao Ling what Su Ming had said. After being given a cold glance by Xiao Ling, he bitterly smiled and returned to Su Ming's side.

  Su Wei's words made Xiao Ling ponder for a moment, and in the end he still chose to believe Su Ming once, leading the team towards the southeast direction. Sure enough, within less than half an hour they encountered a mid-fourth-stage demon beast, the Enchanted Flower Deer. When they saw the Enchanted Flower Deer, everyone's face revealed excited smiles.

  The Flower Deer is a long-range attack type of monster. Once it's approached by a warrior, it basically has no fighting power. When encountering this monster, as long as the sneak attack is successful, there will be almost no casualties, and killing it is very easy.

  "This demon beast is mine now, you are not allowed to move." Xiao Ling said coldly.

  As soon as his voice fell, he took out a pair of swords and set off towards the direction of the Misty Flower Deer, leaving behind a group of Xiantian realm youngsters staring at each other in shock.

  Xiao Ling's speed was not particularly fast, and when he appeared within the attack range of the Misty Flower Deer, the deer launched an attack on him in the first instant. The wooden attribute Misty Flower Deer swung its long neck, and a greenish-blue light shot towards Xiao Ling.

  The attribute attack of the Flower Deer has extremely strong penetration, but to exert its strength as a mid-fourth-order demon beast, it must go through a period of acceleration. Otherwise, its attack power can only be considered average for a third-order demon beast.

  The green light arrived extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Xiao Ling's front. At this time, only Xiao Ling's double short swords were seen blocking his chest, firmly and deeply blocking that green light. After blocking this attack, Xiao Ling accelerated again towards the Dizzy Deer.

  The Flower Deer saw the enemy approaching, not flinching at all, and once again swung its long neck, sending two green lights towards Xiao Ling. At the same time, it turned its body and ran forward, shaking its head to attack Xiao Ling every now and then, making it impossible for him to get close.

  After dozens of consecutive attacks by the Misty Flower Deer, Xiao Ling went crazy. He swallowed a second-rate Clear Wind Pill, and his speed suddenly increased. After dodging two more attacks, Xiao Ling opened up some distance with the Misty Flower Deer. With a flick of his wrist, a sword attack imbued with ice attribute spiritual energy shot towards the Misty Flower Deer.

  After being hit by Xiao Ling's strike, the Misty Flower Deer's movement speed slowed down. At this time, Xiao Ling seized the opportunity and accelerated her body suddenly, with the double short swords in her hand like a pair of scissors heading towards the Misty Flower Deer's long neck.

  A remote attack-type monster, once approached, its fate was predictable. All that could be seen was a flash of cold light, and the deer's head was separated from its long neck, with fresh blood splashing everywhere, and its vitality disappeared in an instant.

  As they witnessed this scene, everyone's heart skipped a beat, feeling a chill run down their necks. Their eyes, as they looked at Xiao Ling, were filled with an added hint of fear.

  In fact, Xiao Ling was able to kill the Misty Flower Deer so easily not because of his strong strength, but because he had Qingfeng Dan, a kind of elixir that could accelerate for a short time. At the same time, the double short swords in his hand were spiritual soldiers. If it weren't for the double short swords blocking the Misty Flower Deer's attack, Xiao Ling would probably not be able to kill the deer and might even get injured.

  After killing the Misty Flower Deer, everyone continued to head deeper into the swamp. The further they went in, the greater the danger became. If it weren't for Su Ming's repeated reminders, they would have already encountered a group of fourth-stage demonic beasts. There were more than fifty demonic beasts here, and it was not something that a pre-heavenly boundary team could handle.

  One day slipped away quietly, except for killing a bewildered deer, the team gained nothing and instead fled in disarray multiple times, each of their moods becoming extremely low.

  As night fell, everyone was forced to find a place to rest. At this time, Xiao Ling walked up to Su Ming and said coldly: "Su Ming, you lead the way, I'll give orders, let's complete our mission as soon as possible?"

  "Not interested." Su Ming didn't even look at Xiao Ling and directly refused.

  "What do you mean, you clearly understand the swamp but refuse to make an effort. Are you trying to see us humiliated?" Xiao Ling glared at Su Ming with a furious face, his voice attracting everyone's attention, making Su Ming feel like dozens of eyes were staring at him.

  "It's not that I'm not putting in effort, but you're not letting me put in effort." Su Ming lazily threw out a sentence, then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

  "Tell me, where are we going next?" Xiao Ling asked in a low, suppressed tone.

  "I don't know." Su Ming replied casually.

  "You." Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with a sudden urge to charge forward, his hands already resting on the hilts of his twin short swords, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

  Having walked for a day, not only did I fail to complete my task, but I also encountered strong enemies several times and was forced to flee. My heart was already filled with anger, and now being provoked by Su Ming's cold words, the flames of rage in my heart surged even higher.

  "Xiao Team Leader, calm down. It's possible that Su Ming really didn't know, and if he did, he would definitely tell you." Su Wei hastily stepped forward to explain the situation.
