63: Damn little tree, you want to murder me!

Li Qingshan was on the verge of tears; he hadn't shed a single tear during days of fleeing.

But the package he had was about to be ruined!

All that hard-earned money!

Li Tianyang also grew anxious and quickly asked Chen Qing, "Do you have a knife?"

Both their knives had been damaged in successive battles and were no longer usable.

Chen Qing didn't dare to say much and hurriedly retrieved his shark tooth from his storage space, tossing it to him.

Li Tianyang caught it and exclaimed in surprise, "B-grade alloy!"

B-grade alloy is very expensive; the resources of low-level Martial Artists are usually poured into Cultivating, so no one has spare money to buy B-grade weapons.

Moreover, for low-level Martial Artists, C-grade and D-grade weapons are more than enough.

Isn't this guy supposed to be dirt poor? How can he just pull out a B-grade alloy weapon?

However, with a B-grade weapon, his explosive power could be even stronger!

He spoke quickly, instructing, "Later, help me hold the package; I'll charge up and give it a slash. You two act according to the situation!"

Chen Qing made an "OK" gesture, indicating no problem.

Li Tianyang ran while tearing off the package wrapped around his body and tossed it to Chen Qing.

Suddenly, he noticed that the package disappeared the moment it touched Chen Qing's hand!

A storage device!

Li Tianyang's eyes turned red; this guy must be a parvenu, right? How did he acquire so many things in such a short time?

Chen Qing's hand, which had reached back, found nothing, and he turned to say, "Hurry up and give it to me! What are you standing there for?"

Lao Yang is really something; why is he so jumpy?

Where did the composure and unflappability from their first meeting go?

Li Tianyang didn't delay and quickly threw everything over. Li Qingshan, seeing this, also wanted to throw his things to Chen Qing.

"No more space!"

Li Qingshan was frustrated. Is that true or false?

Just at his turn, the space ran out?

Chen Qing wasn't lying to him; the storage pendant his teacher gave him wasn't very large, at most a few square meters, unable to hold many things.

"Get ready!" Li Tianyang instructed.

Chen Qing subconsciously glanced at Li Tianyang, who at this moment looked solemn, with the shark tooth tucked at his waist and his right hand on the hilt.

In his hand, flames surged, gradually engulfing the entire shark tooth!

Besides that, a special fluctuation was continuously injecting into the flames!

"Mental Energy!"

Chen Qing was surprised; Li Tianyang could actually perceive Mental Energy and even inject Mental Energy into his ability!

Li Tianyang was even more surprised than him. The smooth Breakthrough of Mental Energy to 3 was something he only achieved after his Breakthrough to the third stage.

Even Li Qingshan, who was also in the third stage, couldn't tell this, yet Chen Qing saw through it at a glance!

"You can perceive Mental Energy now?"

Chen Qing nodded, not hiding it: "By luck! Had a bit of an opportunity."

"Damn it! Both of you can actually perceive Mental Energy now; there's no justice! My Mental Energy has only barely broken through to 2 so far. Li Tianyang is one thing, but how did you, kid, also break through? Are you even letting people live?"

"Stop talking, both of you. Get ready to act!"

The next moment, Li Tianyang stopped abruptly, made a sharp turn, and his right hand, tightly gripping the hilt, suddenly swung diagonally!

Blazing flames enveloped the blade, accompanied by an earth-shattering saber Qi, slashing towards the fourth-tier Ghost-Face Treant!

This slash not only carried some aura of fire but also seemed to have a trace of light aura!

And behind Li Tianyang, a phantom bird figure flashed past.

The large bird was entirely enveloped in flames; all that could be glimpsed were its wise and majestic eyes!

The saber Qi was extremely fast; the fleeting light instantly passed through the fourth-tier Treant and disappeared into the air!

Behind the three, the stout Ghost-Face Treant froze, no longer moving forward.

A deep saber mark appeared in the middle section of its trunk!

At the crack, blazing flames surged, scorching its trunk.

"Squeak!"

The Ghost-Face Treant's ghost face was extremely painful; the injury was constantly burning and cracking!

"Run, run fast! I've only temporarily injured it! With my current explosive power, it's not enough to kill it!

We can't wait for it to recover. Quick, take me and run!"

Li Tianyang was somewhat exhausted at this moment; his whole body was a bit limp, unable to stand straight.

Chen Qing didn't say much; he grabbed Li Tianyang, tucked him at his waist, and sprinted wildly.

Behind them.

The low-tier Treant Yao Beasts that had been chasing them together now dared not continue their pursuit, frightened by that previous slash, and were waiting for the Ghost-Face Treant King's command... Inside a low cave.

Chen Qing dropped the weakened Li Tianyang and plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.

"Damn! Is this Qi Ling Star so dangerous? I've only been here for a day, and already mid-tier Yao Beasts are relentlessly chasing me.

How did those freshmen who came here for missions and training before survive?"

Li Qingshan also put down his package, slumped to the ground, and cursed, "You still have the nerve to say that! Who's like you, a troublemaker?

On your first visit, you break into the Ghost-Face Treant's lair and even enrage the Ghost-Face Treant King!

What did you do?"

Chen Qing was also a bit helpless; he only saw the markers on the map provided by the school, indicating the presence of Ghost-Face Treants deep in that forest, and hadn't expected there to be so many.

Besides, didn't he just kill a small tree?

A light flashed in his hand, and a purple-black crystal core appeared.

This crystal core was sharply angled, entirely purple-black, and faintly shimmered with a noble purple light.

"This is..."

Li Tianyang had by now gradually recovered from his exhausted state, sat up, and looked at the crystal core suspiciously.

"This seems to be... it seems to be a rare crystal core from the Ghost-Face Treant King's Bloodline!"

"What is that?" Chen Qing inquired.

Li Tianyang pondered for a moment and replied, "I also once heard my teacher say that these special races, unlike us humans, pass down their power through Bloodline.

Among them, there are royal families. The fourth-tier Ghost-Face Treant King that just chased us is actually the Yao King of the Ghost-Face Treants in this area.

If one can kill such a Yao King or their Legacy Bloodline, a Legacy crystal will condense, which is this kind of crystal core."

Beside them, Li Qingshan also seemed to have thought of something and said, "Hmm, I think I saw it in the school's library. The records state that these races, which pass down power through special means, attach extreme importance to the talent of the next generation, and only after strict selection do they decide the candidates for the next King.

Once determined, the current King will slowly pass down his power, and within the chosen Legacy recipient, this kind of crystal core will slowly condense!"

He looked at Li Mu'en: "Li Mu'en, you're amazing! I see you directly killed someone's Legacy recipient!

I thought I was bold enough to raid a Yao Beast's lair, but now it seems, you, kid, are incredible!

You are this!"

Saying that, he gave a thumbs-up.

Chen Qing was speechless; how was he to know that the Treant that actively provoked him was a Legacy recipient?

If that little tree had been polite and asked for a spar.

Then Chen Qing, being a good person, would have definitely agreed!

That hateful little tree actually used its life as bait, trying to harm me!

It deserved to die!
