Chapter 426: Fighting with Monsters
"They're only level two monsters, not very powerful. Why don't we go and fight them and gain some combat experience?" Nangong Jingming had originally thought of waiting and reaping the benefits, but then he realized that what they needed most right now was actual combat experience. Only through continuous fighting could they truly improve their strength. So, he decided to take the initiative and fight the two monsters.
"Well, then we'll each take one," Su Siyi said with a smile, a flicker of determination in her eyes, and then, without hesitation, she attacked the fox beast she had chosen. Her figure was as swift and agile as a flash of lightning, the weapon in her hand flashing with a cold light as she stabbed at the fox beast's vital parts.
The two monsters, who were fighting fiercely, were interrupted by Su Siyi's sudden attack. They turned around angrily and stared at Su Siyi with fierce eyes. They seemed to have never expected that a human would dare to interrupt their fight.
Nangong Jingming saw this and quickly used his skills to come to Su Siyi's side in an instant, standing shoulder to shoulder with her. His eyes were firm and calm, always alert to the attacks of the two monsters, and he would never let Su Siyi get hurt.
Soon, a fierce battle between humans and monsters officially began. Initially, due to their lack of combat experience, their spells seemed unfamiliar, and their coordination was lacking. The foxes and wolves, relying on their instincts and extensive combat experience, launched relentless and ferocious attacks, leaving them somewhat overwhelmed.
However, Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming didn't back down. They constantly summed up their experience and adjusted their tactics during the battle, gradually becoming more familiar with the use of spells and the control of spiritual power. As the battle continued, their coordination became more and more tacit, and their attacks became more and more fierce.
Finally, after a hard fight, the two successfully defeated the two monsters. The fox and wolf fell to the ground, lifeless. They looked at each other, and a relieved smile appeared on their faces.
"Siyi, this battle feels so good." Nangong Jingming said excitedly while panting. After this battle, he not only improved his own strength, but also felt the tacit understanding and happiness of fighting side by side with Su Siyi.
"Yeah, I feel pretty good too. I'm much more proficient in using my spiritual power and magic now, and I'm much more comfortable fighting." Su Siyi wiped the sweat from her face, her eyes gleaming with joy. This battle had benefited her greatly, giving her a deeper understanding of her own strength and filling her with confidence for future adventures.
"I'm going to dig up some Ice Spirit Grass." Nangong Jingming looked at the Ice Spirit Grass in the middle of the clearing, a flicker of excitement in his eyes. He walked over carefully, took out his tools, and began to dig up the Ice Spirit Grass. The Ice Spirit Grass was so precious, he had to ensure it was intact.
"Well, let me open the gift package!" Su Siyi couldn't wait to take out the mysterious gift package, her heart full of anticipation. She gently opened the gift package and saw a bottle of elixir lying quietly inside. The elixir emitted a soft light, as if it contained endless vitality.
"It's a rejuvenation pill. It can restore vitality and return to youth." Su Siyi carefully checked the information about the pill and said with surprise. She knew the precious value of the rejuvenation pill. For many people, it was undoubtedly an invaluable gift.
"Well, that's great! Another new elixir. This should be a good elixir for many older women." Nangong Jingming's eyes lit up when he heard Su Siyi's words. He first thought of his grandmother. She was old, and if she could take the rejuvenation elixir, she might be able to regain some of her youthful vitality.
"This Rejuvenation Pill isn't just good news for women, it's good for men too. It's a great thing for restoring vitality," Su Siyi explained with a smile. She knew that the Rejuvenation Pill's benefits weren't limited to restoring a woman's youthful appearance; more importantly, it could restore vitality and strengthen the user's physique, and it had significant benefits for men as well.
"Yes, it's indeed a good thing!" Nangong Jingming nodded heavily, his eyes full of recognition of the Rejuvenation Pill's value. In this perilous and age-prone world of immortal cultivation, a elixir that replenishes vitality is undoubtedly a rare treasure. Whether for the elders in the family or those who may suffer serious injuries in the future, it could be the key to turning the tide.
The two men, reveling in the joy of their harvest, shared their fantasies about the uses of the elixir as they continued their journey through the Black Forest. The forest was almost oppressively quiet, with the occasional low growl of an unknown creature adding to the mysterious atmosphere.
"Brother Nangong, how far have we come?" Su Siyi looked up at the still-dark sky, curious about the progress of her journey. In this impenetrable forest, time and space seemed to have lost their original meaning. She was eager to know how far she was from her destination.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Nangong Jingming frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the guide map in his hand, his expression a little hesitant, and he really didn't want to break Su Siyi's optimistic expectations for the itinerary.
"Why, didn't we walk very far?" Su Siyi noticed his strangeness and felt a little uneasy. They had been walking non-stop all day, so she imagined they must have covered a considerable distance.
"We really haven't walked very far. According to the current situation, we have only walked one twentieth of the distance." Nangong Jingming took a deep breath and spoke truthfully. His voice echoed in the silent forest, sounding particularly clear, and it also made Su Siyi stunned for a moment.
"Ah, we've only covered one twentieth of the distance in a day. That means at our current pace, it will take twenty days to reach the check-in point." Su Siyi's eyes widened, staring at Nangong Jingming in disbelief. She had originally thought that this expedition, despite its setbacks, could be completed in a relatively short time, but she hadn't expected the journey to be so long.
"Well, but it might take longer." Nangong Jingming sighed helplessly and added. He knew very well that this forest was complex and accidents could happen at any time.
"Oh, why does it take longer?" There was a hint of anxiety in Su Siyi's tone. She really didn't want to waste too much time in this gloomy forest.
"Because along the way, we might encounter demonic beasts and spiritual plants, which would also delay our journey," Nangong Jingming explained patiently, his finger gently tracing the winding route on the map. In this forest, every encounter with a demonic beast could potentially trigger a battle, and any spiritual plants they discovered would inevitably require stopping to collect, which would significantly slow their journey.
