chapter 10 cut off

The sudden change made Gian Almond face turn pale, his expression full of fear, and his body seemed to be frozen, keeping his head up motionless.

Above, the branches and leaves were swaying, and everything was empty. The giant python had long been gone.

After being stunned for a long time, Gian Almond seemed to realize this and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where the giant python flew out.

Not far away, the giant python that had pounced before was being nailed to a giant tree. Its shiny black body was twisting in pain, blood was flowing down the branches, and a shrill and painful roar came from its huge mouth.

"This is... a black-scaled python!"

Gian Almond's expression changed, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and when he saw clearly the seven-inch point of the giant python, the spear that penetrated the body and nailed it to the tree trunk, his eyes shrank even more fiercely.

The spear he had just seen not long ago was the low-grade spiritual weapon that Elgin Almond gave to Farrell Almond.

"Hey, are you okay?" At this time, Farrell Almond also stepped forward and patted Gian Almond stiff shoulder.

Hearing the voice, Gian Almond trembled and turned to look at Farrell Almond. His eyes showed confusion and a touch of shock, and he said ashamedly: "Farrell Almond, it was thanks to your intervention just now, otherwise I would have... thank you!"

"Why are you so polite? Since we are a team, we naturally have to help each other."Farrell Almond smiled casually.

Gian Almond nodded gratefully, and immediately followed Farrell Almond towards the still-dead black-scaled python. As he approached, the fishy stench of the demonic python along with the strong smell of blood made him nauseous, and his stomach turned upside down.

At the same time, watching the black-scaled python's body, which was thicker than a bucket, twisting, Gian Almond couldn't help but clenched the sword in his hand, and felt even more frightened in his heart. If Farrell Almond hadn't taken action before, he would have been buried in the snake's belly at this moment. .

"This beast is quite tenacious."

Farrell Almond pulled out the spear with a calm expression, glanced at the fear-filled cold snake eyes of the black scale python, and pointed the spear in his hand again without any mercy.

Growing up in the Ye family, he had heard too many tragedies about how his clansmen entered the Black Abyss Mountains and suffered a backlash from monsters because of their kindness.

Therefore, he would never make such a stupid mistake.

Staring at the black-scaled python that was struggling gradually, until its vitality dissipated, Ye Hao retracted his spear, while Gian Almond, who was beside him, looked at him with a complicated and confused look.

You must know that the black-scaled python is comparable to a third-level tempered monster. Its biggest feature is that it hides its traces, and its scale armor has high defense. Even if he is at the fourth-level of tempered body, if he faces the black-scaled python head-on, he is afraid that Yes, it takes a lot of effort.

However, Farrell Almond, who in his eyes was only on the second level of Tempering Body, actually easily eliminated this monster that gave him a headache. Even before, he had not noticed the sneak attack of the black scale python, but Farrell Almond Take action in time to help him resolve the crisis.

Thinking of this, Gian Almond felt ashamed and also slightly confused. Could it be that Farrell Almond's strength was not only at the second level of Tempering Body as rumored?

Otherwise, how could he have eliminated the black-scaled python so easily?

"The scales of this black-scaled python are pretty good."

Gian Almond Farrell Almond naturally had no way of knowing what Ye Ze was thinking. At this moment, after looking at the body of the black-scaled python, he took out a dagger and began to peel off the scales on its body.

Creatures such as the monster race can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth for training just like cultivators. Moreover, due to race reasons, the bodies of monster beasts are much stronger than those of cultivators after being tempered by the spiritual power of heaven and earth. It can be said that they have a unique advantage.

In the same realm, in terms of physical fitness alone, the demon race must be far better than the human race cultivators.

Of course, there are also some human cultivators with rare and powerful bloodline constitutions, who are not much weaker than the monsters, and are even slightly stronger.

But no matter what, the physical strength of the demon clan can be said to be recognized by the world. It is for this reason that the body of the demon clan is rare for cultivators, whether it is refining elixirs or spiritual weapons. of good material.

Although this black-scaled python is only a third-level tempered monster, the scales on its body are worth a lot of spiritual stones according to Farrell Almond estimation, and they must not be wasted easily.

Seeing Ye Hao peeling off the scales of the black-scaled python in just a few seconds, Gian Almond couldn't help but feel weird. This person was rumored to be a member of the same race on the second level of the Tempered Body. He was really very smart. He didn't feel any discomfort with this black-scaled python. Peeling it off so calmly left him speechless.

"What's wrong?" Putting the scale armor into the storage bag, Farrell Almond noticed Gian Almond strange expression.

Gian Almond shook his head with a smile, and then asked with a curious look on his face: "Farrell Almond, this black scale python...how did you discover it?"

The black scale python is best at hiding its traces. Even the fourth level of body tempering himself had not noticed it before, which made Gian Almond really unable to suppress the doubts in his heart.

Farrell Almond smiled casually and said: "Maybe you can see more clearly from behind. Let's go, I will take the lead next."

Hearing this, Gian Almond hesitated slightly, but nodded in agreement. Is it true that as Farrell Almond said, the view from the rear is better?

Thinking of this, he looked around for a while, but he didn't find any changes. However, regardless of whether what the former said was true or false, he was not a person who wanted to get to the bottom of things. Since Farrell Almond didn't want to say more, he naturally wouldn't ask more questions. .

Thinking of this, Gian Almond followed Farrell Almond closely, paying attention to the surrounding disturbances from behind, and continued to move forward.

…

The dense forest is dark and seemingly endless, extending deep into the mountains. Monsters are everywhere in the forest. If a cultivator is not careful, he may be torn apart by a sudden attack by monsters lurking somewhere and be buried here.

In this murderous environment, Farrell Almond and Gian Almond were sitting cross-legged under an ancient tree, taking a short rest.

"I didn't expect that even after being explored by the strong men in the city, the outer reaches of the Black Abyss Mountains are still so scary!"Gian Almond devoured a small beast in his hand, and after looking around vigilantly, he spoke with lingering fear.

The morning light was now slightly bright, and he and Farrell Almond had already spent the day in this assessment place.

And it was just this short day that made Gian Almond truly realize the danger of this place, and at the same time, he also understood how ridiculous his original idea was.

This dense forest is rampant with monsters and dangers. Especially at night, this place is simply a paradise for monsters. Howls and roars can be heard one after another. Finding a safe place here is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Just last night, Gian Almond vaguely heard the screams of some the Almond Family children. It was obvious that they were encountering monsters, which was more dangerous than bad.

And he and Farrell Almond were also attacked by several monster beasts. The strongest monster even had the strength of the fourth level of body tempering. If he hadn't joined forces with Farrell Almond, Gian Almond simply couldn't imagine his own end.

Of course, after several battles, Gian Almond became increasingly unable to see through the young man in black who was looking around with a spear on his shoulder.

Because of several fights with monsters, Farrell Almond would often kill the monsters cleanly as soon as he started fighting, and would immediately come to help him.

If it weren't for Farrell Almond presence, Gian Almond thought that he alone would not be able to withstand the attacks of several waves of monsters last night.

Looking at Farrell Almond, who was different from him and didn't look embarrassed at all, Gian Almond couldn't help but look weird. Immediately, he thought about the big words he said before the assessment, and shook his head with a wry smile.

With Farrell Almond's strength, why should he protect him?

No matter how stupid Gian Almond is, he will not foolishly think that Farrell Almond is still only at the second level of body tempering.

Of course, Gian Almond was quite happy about all this. After all, the stronger Farrell Almond was, the greater their chances of passing this assessment were.

Thinking of this, Gian Almond opened his mouth and said: "Farrell Almond, should we continue to rest here for three days, or..."

Although Farrell Almond face seemed calm at this moment, his nerves were highly tense. After all, this dense forest was full of dangers and he had to remain vigilant at all times.

And as Gian Almond finished speaking, he cast his gaze into the depths of the dense forest and muttered: "Let's go deeper and take a look."

His goal for this assessment is to obtain the heart of the Aoki Demonic Wolf and enter the family martial arts hall. It is not just as simple as surviving on the outside of the mountain range for three days.

Moreover, with Truman Almond and Ilithyia Almond's strength, entering the martial arts hall must be his first goal. He can only find the two of them if he continues to go deeper.

With this thought in his mind, Farrell Almond suddenly frowned, looked at a giant tree in front of him, and said coldly: "Who? Don't hide your head and show your tail."

When the words came out, Gian Almond expression suddenly changed. He drew his sword and stood up without hesitation, staring ahead with vigilance. At the same time, several figures walked out from behind the giant tree with sneers on their faces. They were those participating in this assessment. A descendant of the Almond Family.

In front, there were six figures in total, four men and two women, headed by a young man named Sloan Almond. Farrell Almond also had an impression that he was considered a leader among the younger generation of the Almond Family and had reached the fifth level of body tempering.

At this time, Ye Sloan Almond was applauding gently, looking at Farrell Almond with a joking expression, and said with admiration: "It's interesting that you waste, you can actually find us."

"Haha, Yitta Almond's laughter must have been heard by this loser, but it doesn't matter." Behind Sloan Almond, another young man said with a strange smile.

Farrell Almond looked at the people in front of him coldly. He had felt a few deliberately hidden qi and blood approaching before, so he was not too surprised by the appearance of these people.

"Sloan Almond, what's the matter with you?"Gian Almond stared at the people with sneers on their faces and shouted with a somewhat reserved expression.

"Tsk tsk, Gian Almond, I didn't expect you to go all out to protect this waste."Gian Almond embarrassed appearance was in great contrast to Farrell Almond. When Sloan Almond and others thought about it, it was obvious that they were all along the way. Gian Almond is fighting hard.

"You have something to talk about. If you're just talking nonsense, get away." The assessment time is limited to three days, and now that it's been one day, Farrell Almond naturally doesn't have the patience to waste time here.

"You good-for-nothing, are you looking for death?"

"Humph, idiot, do you think this is still the Almond Family?"

…

The former's unceremonious words made Sloan Almond and others furious, and at the same time, a cold look appeared on their faces. Regarding Farrell Almond, in the past, within the family, they could not take action directly, but now outside the Black Abyss Mountains, They have a lot less worries.

"Kneel down and admit your mistake, and then lend me the spear in your hand. I won't care about your bad words just now."Sloan Almond snorted coldly, staring at the spear in Farrell Almond hand with hot eyes.

After the words fell, Farrell Almond couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He finally understood the intention of several people, while Gian Almond on the side said angrily: "Sloan Almond, don't go too far. This low-grade spiritual weapon was given to Ye by the clan leader. Farrell Almond defends himself, but you dare to take it by force?"

Although Gian Almond knew that Farrell Almond's strength must not be as weak as the rumors, Sloan Almond had the strength of the fifth level of Body Tempering after all, and the other five people also had the level of the fourth level of Body Tempering. If he really took action , he really doesn’t think highly of Farrell Almond.

"Hmph, Gian Almond, didn't you hear what I said? It's just a borrowed one. With my strength and this low-grade spiritual weapon, even if the Aoki Demon Wolf is a sixth-level monster of tempered body, it is not hopeless to kill it. Kill it, and when I'm done with it, I will naturally return this waste."Sloan Almond said impatiently.

Regarding these words, Sloan Almond did not lie. After all, the spear in the former's hand was given by the clan leader. Although he coveted it very much, he did not dare to take it at will.

But if it was just a borrowing, after he killed the Aoki Demonic Wolf to obtain the heart and successfully entered the family martial arts hall, the clan leader would probably not embarrass him too much even if he knew about it.

After all, the identity of a martial arts disciple is far beyond that of an ordinary member the Almond Family.

And Farrell Almond, looking at the determined look on Sloan Almond face, suddenly chuckled and said: "It turns out that I came here for the low-grade spiritual soldiers. Since you want it... then I'll give it to you."

After saying that, Farrell Almond patted Gian Almond shoulder and signaled him to stay where he was, then dragged his spear and walked towards Sloan Almond and the others with a smile on his face.
