Chapter 34: Blood Flame Flower

Su Yun felt the impact of the increase of an extremely powerful spiritual energy.

The surrounding spiritual energy field produced a slight airwave as he inhaled and exhaled.

If there were people here, their jaws would have dropped.

This was a martial master's way of absorbing spiritual energy. It wasn't a method that a mere martial disciple could do. 

After he spent a whole day and a whole night recharging, his spiritual energy finally returned to its original state, and he had no choice but to stop.

No wonder everyone wanted to go out of the city to kill beasts.

Gathering resources and gaining combat experience was part of it, but the most important part was to increase one's own absorption speed and leveling up their spiritual power.

Spiritual power was the integral part for martial artists and even mages.

After settling these trivial matters, he set off once more.

He knew he would still encounter some small groups of fierce beasts along the way, and not only that, the level of these fierce beasts that lived deeper into the jungle would be higher compared to the ones he had defeated.

However, to Su Yun, there wasn't much difference. They were all killed in one move.

What difference could there be? 

"It's just a pity that the materials for the fierce beasts along the way..."

Although Su Yun didn't lack financially, he wasn't the kind of idiot who didn't know how to earn money.

This was his first time leaving the city, so he didn't know a lot of things, and many things have changed drastically compared to decades ago.

Moreover, this was the first time leaving the city as a martial artist. Next time, he would find someone to collect the materials he left along the way.

If he didn't have the knife or weapons needed to deal with the fierce beasts, would he be able to tear them apart with his bare hands?

And the smell of blood he left… only God knows how many fierce beasts would be lured by the scent.

Right now, he was here to increase his strength, not to hand over his life.

Although he had easily finished off those agile monkeys in the beginning, it was only because the beasts were caught off guard by his speed.

If they continue to fight as if they were in a war...

His spiritually energy would probably be completely drained because of those monkeys.

He was lucky enough to have beaten them in the end. If he was surrounded by beasts who were not scared to lose their own lives…

He could've been seriously injured.

And the materials that he could scavenge from those creatures were monkey scriptures, monkey skin, and monkey claws.

 It was a problem to pack all of those materials up, and even if he did, somehow, manage to pack them all up, the additional weight might have slowed him down.

After that...

As Su Yun kept moving through the jungle, suddenly, the roars of fierce beasts could be heard from afar.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Hundreds of fierce beasts howled at the same time.

It shook the sky and shook the earth. The leaves fell rapidly like a snowstorm in winter.

He could not help but be surprised!

He slowed down his pace and used some of his calf muscles to dodge the trees that were hindering him.

These simple and practical tricks were all learned along the way.

On the treetops, a dazzling light shone onto the earth.

The hundred-year-old tree was trembling slightly.

After stabilizing his steps, Su Yun stood up straight.

He looked through the lush leaves.

He looked at the dark mass of ferocious beasts a few hundred meters away from him.

They looked unusually harmonious?!

This was a little strange. The flaming pigs, the keda dogs, the arm strength chickens, the lightning pythons, the purple wind sparrows...

There were more than a thousand of them.

Gathering together, as if they were having a meeting!

A meeting of ferocious beasts? !

This was the biggest joke in the world!

The few grade five ferocious beasts in the lead looked in Su Yun's direction.

Had he been discovered just like that?

He couldn't afford to offend them, they couldn't afford to offend him, so he ran away.

In a blink of an eye, Su Yun disappeared back into the jungle.

At this time, the grade five ferocious beasts continued their "meeting".

After confirming that there was nothing watching them, the eyes of the beasts continued to move.

From time to time, one could see a strange red light.

It was like a demon from hell.

Not long after, the beasts' eyes began to glow with a strange red light.

But not long after that, the strange red light disappeared.

The beasts did not seem to have changed at all.

Under the ground where the beasts gathered.

Under the dim light, a few black shadows stood on one side.

"I don't know, why haven't the wanted criminals been dealt with?! The efficiency is really touching!"

"Those trash might have been killed by someone else!"

"You're really casual about that, your old lover could still be inside! Aren't you worried?!"

"You crossed the line! When did you get to be in charge of my personal matters!"

"Alright, stop arguing. The next step of the plan will be..."

...

Su Yun ran more than ten kilometers away. After confirming that he was in no danger, he started to feel the dryness of his throat.

He felt a little thirsty.

He began to search for a water source around the area.

"Hmm? There seems to be a pond ahead?"

He jumped down from the tree.

A large patch of grayish-red grass was spread in front of him. When a breeze blew over the field, it looked as if blood was rolling on the ground.

These grass were tier one medicinal herbs -- blood flame grass.

It was a good item that was used to increase one's spiritual power. Once it appeared on the market, it would instantly be sold out.

Apart from increasing one's spiritual power, it could also increase the flexibility of one's muscles.

And in the middle of these blood flame grass, there was a huge blood-colored flame herb that was in full bloom.

It was like an agile little elf that was constantly dancing in its own world.

"Eh? A tier three medicinal herb, the blood flame flower!"

At this moment, Su Yun noticed that there seemed to be a group of fierce beasts near the flower.

These fierce beasts seemed to be very familiar with each other.

Weren't these agile monkeys?!

The corners of Su Yun's mouth curled up slightly. These agile monkeys were like money-giving children!

After walking out from the thicket, in a blink of an eye, the agile monkeys had surrounded Su Yun and they formed six circles around him.

"[ Flaming Skin ], activated!"

"[ Demonic Ape Body ], activated!"

In a split second, a towering flaming giant appeared in front of the agile monkeys.

The beasts that were just about to make a move, quickly backtracked. This was their worst nightmare!

A grade three king, a group of grade two high-level experts ganging up on a giant.

They were instantly demolished by Su Yun in just one move!

It was simply too horrible to look at.

In a heartbeat, the group of agile monkeys disappeared from his sight like lightning.

They escaped silently, afraid of angering their opponent.

When Su Yun saw that the agile monkeys had disappeared, he deactivated these abilities from his body.

The agile monkeys were all scared away.

Su Yun effortlessly overcame the challenge and obtained these precious mystical herbs.

Su Yun decided not to chase after the agile monkey. If the treasures here were taken away by others, it would be a great loss.

Whoosh!

Su Yun took out his empty backpack and quickly rushed to the field of mystical herbs. He reached out his hand and carefully picked the blood flame flowers.

As for the blood flame grass, he also planned to collect all of them.

Probably because the blood flame flowers grew here, the quality of these blood flame grass should also be very good.

After some calculations, Su Yun knows if he were to use these grass, he, who was only a beginner level martial artist, could level up his realm stats.

As for the tier three blood flame flower, its medicinal effects were even more extreme.

But right at that moment, out from trees, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
