Book 1 Chapter 60 - Entering Tri-Lightning Forest.

The next day, as Long Feng and the others preparing to leave, Lang Ren personally came forwards before the Li couple to gave them a little advice. Due to few cases happened years ago, Lang Ren and the other in Lang Family is working attentively to controls the number of bandit operations surrounding the Thunderburst Jade City. But after he had been convinced by Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing that they are not leaving the Thunderburst Jade City for a while, and planning to visit the Tri-Lightning Forest.

During the period Long Feng and the others is within the carriage towards the Thunderburst Jade City, Long Feng tried to have a few connections with Hong Yue, but his calls is unanswered. Growing more and more worried, Long Feng decided that he and Nan Jing Jing will remain in the city for another few more weeks, until he finally managed to get in touch with Hong Yue.

But as the auction ends, Long Feng receives a short message from Hong Yue. "Master..." that's all he could hear, from that simple message. Getting extremely worried, Long Feng immediately prepares to leave to the Tri-Lightning Forest located North from Thunderburst Jade City. Since this way is not directly link with the bandit forces from the Five Cities Intersection, Long Feng could depart without worries.

"Husband, are you sure you want to enter the forest Alone?" Nan Jing Jing is slightly worried with her husband's decision as he wished to enter the forest alone. But without budging and giving up on his decision, Long Feng looked at Nan Jing Jing as he says, "My wife, Hong Yue had been missing since that day both of our mother is taken from us. If I don't look for Hong Yue immediately, I'm worried something bad will happened to him."

"Do not be too worried about me, did you forget that I am the successor of the Xuan Wu Sword Sect?" Long Feng convince Nan Jing Jing to not being too worry and be confident with his overall fighting strength. By promising her that he will return immediately as he found Hong Yue, Nan Jing Jing could be at ease, as this trip will only takes around a week before he come back with Hong Yue.

"Husband, make sure you be very careful about this!" Nan Jing Jing still have some worries, but she too support Long Feng's decision as he bid farewell to the others and enter the Tri-Lightning Forest alone. Not even 500 meters from the entrance of the forest, Long Feng already encountered with a pack of six Lightning Flash Wolves. As he prepared his weapon, three of the Lightning Flash Wolves already charge towards Long Feng with their jaw opened wide, while another three is taking the position of 10 o'clock direction, 2 o'clock direction and 6 o'clock direction.

"This Lighting Flash Wolves is very experienced in group fight, but I am not some random meal either!" Long Feng forms his defensive sword ball as he utilized his Defensive Wu Sword Art, and slowly proceeds with deflecting the three biting attack. As the three biting attack is deflected, Long Feng change his facing direction towards the Lightning Flash Wolf on his 2 o'clock, as he prepares to utilize his Xuan Wu Heavenly Art to feign his escape.

"Offensive Xuan Sword Art!" Long Feng changes his tempo from defensive sword formation into an offensive sword formation, with the sword point is stabbing out from the body of the Sword Ball like a deadly porcupine, Long Feng stabbed the Lightning Flash Wolf's belly until it became a hornet nest. Calm and calculative, Long Feng swing his sword backwards as he use the hand to lift the Lightning Flash Wolf up at his eye level, while another hand is holding a glass made bottle to collect the running blood from the opened wounds.

"Aowuuu!" the much more darker shade Lightning Flash Wolf howls as the remaining four wolves charge towards Long Feng from the direction of East, South, West and North. Instead of opening their jaw widely, the wolves actually tried to form a four direction claw attack, while the darker shade Lightning Flash Wolf is attacking from the top with is jaw opened wide.

"Little puny tricks!" Long Feng leap upwards with his Xuan Wu Heavenly Art, and tried to stab the Lightning Flash Wolf above him, while the remaining four wolves is gathered around his spot as their attack is a failure, but before Long Feng could harm the wolf above him, a flash of Lightning attack could be seen from the wolf! "Bam!" Long Feng who was careless from underestimating his opponent finally got strike with a pretty harmful electrical shock. "Shit! I was careless!" Long Feng felt numb throughout his whole body from that Lightning Shock.

Remembering last time as he was stunned by Zhe Bie's Lightning martial art, Long Feng push his Wood Element Essence to surround his whole body, as he prepare to retaliate. Using the strong Wood Essence to disperse the remnants of Lightning Element around his body, Long Feng managed to gain that slight two seconds to defend himself and retaliate.

Failure to notice the changes within Long Feng's Elemental Storage, one more wolf died under Long Feng's hand, as he slit its throat and collects the blood. The remaining three wolves with its leader getting more and more aggressive, due to its beast nature. They immediately getting more and more offensive, and starting to attack without any consideration. At the same time, even the Leader among the Lightning Flash Wolves is getting restless as it tried to channel its Thunder Elemental energy within its mouth and preparing to shot it out.

"Do you think I will allows you to do that?" Long Feng charge towards the leader like a released arrow, and ignoring all the other wolves that was chasing him from all sides. As the Thunder Elemental Ball is successfully charged, the Lightning Flash Wolf leader point its nose towards Long Feng and had the thunder beam shot out directly towards Long Feng.

"Fush!" It missed! The figure that believed to be Long Feng is actually an afterimage of Long Feng as he put in all his strength into the Xuan Wu Heavenly Art and Xuan Wu Divination Art, and take a strong step forward. The wolf leader failed to notice Long Feng's position, and as it returned to it sense, the blood from it's slitted throat starts to flow, as the lives within that body flew away for this deceased body.

With the remaining three wolves without a leader, their attack form is nowhere up to its standard as before, and without any additional effort, Long Feng easily dispose them as he collect the bloods, Fangs, Skin and any usable materials from them. Most importantly, Long Feng managed to obtain five beautiful Soul Essence Pearl and also a Wolf Soul Essence Pearl. "I wonder what's the difference between this Pearl compared to the other five similar pearls." Long Feng tried to see the differences between the two, but failed to spot any of its differences, so he left it aside as he continue with his journey.

One could either say fortuitous or bad luck, when the odds of encountering the cultivation beast is extremely high. In his path to deeper forest, Long Feng almost met with one pack of six to seven Lightning Flash Wolves as he entered around 500 to 600 meters. He felt this kind of situation is slightly weird, but in the same time, due to his knowledge is not too focused on the Cultivation Beast and its nature, Long Feng decided to ignore the little hidden facts behind such encounters.

But his ignorance, soon came to haunts him as he finally entered around 5 Kilometres deep into the forest. Not only once, but five times Long Feng passed the totem made by collections of Cultivation Beast's heads. On the top of the totem, a single Head from a gigantic beast, believed to be either the Blood Swamp Crocodile or the Poison Swamp Crocodile's skull, and on its body, a mix and match of at least 15 different cultivation beast skulls is seen arranged in a weird arrangements.

"Wife, do you know what is the meaning of a totem shaped like a pyramid with a huge crocodile skull on top and fifteen different skulls on the bottom? I saw a total of 5 similar totem as I entered deeper into the forest. And also, my wife, your husband managed to obtain around 50 Portion of this Lightning Flash Wolves Pure Blood, I wonder could it formed into a basic [Medicinal Beast Profound Blood]." Long Feng asked his know everything wife as he can't keep his curiosity about the totem, and at the same time, shares the good thing happened as he explore the forest for Hong Yue's sign.

"Husband!" Nan Jing Jing's voice from the ring almost gave Long Feng a shock. But before he managed to reply Nan Jing Jing loud shouting, she continues to talk. "Husband, I talked to Uncle Lang Ren about this totem matter, and he ask you to immediately leave the area, walk away immediately and do not look back, if your path is still have totem available, be ready for a fight anytime and do not waste your time exploring, that area is inhibited by one of the King of Tri-Lightning Forest!" Nan Jing Jing had Long Feng quickly get on his feet and escape from this area. Long Feng, whom was still blank from all those explanations could only start moving to his right side, and follows his wife's stern order.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

But not even a total of 1 Kilometre distance, a single lone wolf appears in front of Long Feng's escape path, with the intention of stopping its prey from continue to escape from its territories. "Wife, I met a really gigantic wolf, black skin, red eyes, with two horn like goat on its head." Long Feng describe the outlook of the beast as he prepare to fight. But at the other side of the ring, Lang Ren and Lang Ya actually curse Long Feng's incredibly bad luck. "Husband, retaliate as you escape, remember, Escape!!" Nan Jing Jing voice get even more worried as she had her husband immediately run away.

"What happen?" Long Feng still failed to notice the danger before his path, as the Gigantic Lone Wolf does not release any bloodlust intent as it stopped Long Feng from his path. "Idiot husband, that is one of the King of Tri-Lightning Forest, the Second Heaven Grade Ferocious Beast - Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf! Quickly run!" Nan Jing Jing explains the danger before Long Feng's eyes and is really speechless as she see how casual her husband could be when meeting such a dangerous beast in his first day of entering the forest.

"Aooowu!" a deafening howl came out from the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf as it opened it's mouth, and from that one single howl, Long Feng's [Spatial Link Twin Grass Ring] became useless as it was disrupted by the slight disturbance from the barely noticeable Hell Essence from the [Elemental of Kunlun]. Long Feng tried to open his Spatial Storage again and again, but failed to do so, with only his Qian Kun Sword on hand.

"Oh Shit, Now I know why Jing Jing is so impatient and keep asking me to run." Long Feng finally got what Nan Jing Jing want him to notice. "Hey! You damn wolf, come here!" Long Feng swing his sword twice before the wolf, as it take a big leap backwards, cautious with Long Feng's action. But when Long Feng's intention is successful, he immediately turn around 45 degrees from the wolf direction, and run with all his might!

"I can't fight if I cannot get my treasures hidden in the Spatial Storage!" Long Feng escapes without looking backwards. The hunted and the hunter kept their speed as they run across two more totem, and as he run farther and farther, Long Feng suddenly noticed the disappearance of the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf. Long Feng immediately swing his sword with Defensive Wu Sword Art, and almost on that instant, a hole is broken within the  Sword Ball formation. Long Feng is slightly shocked with the destruction strength of the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf, to easily creates a hole from his top left to the top right.

But he have no other choice, except escaping from its territories. Long Feng noticed that his ring started to have some voice within again, as he tried to listen on what message is still remains within. "Brr... Husband... Brr... Escape... The Demon Blood... Brr... Wolf... Possess... Hell... Brr... Run..." Long Feng barely understands the disrupted message, but hearing the word Possess and Hell within the message, Long Feng roughly understand the danger of this opponent, who might possess the capability to utilized Hell Element in its attack.

Long Feng escape came to a halt, as he finally reached a location which is blocked by mountain of rocks and soil. Pushed to the edge of such situation, Long Feng decides to fight for his life, if his fate says so. He lifted up his Qian Kun Sword high up above his head, and prepares to face the incoming attack from the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf. And as the shadow of this ferocious beast appears within his sight, not even a single second past, the jaw of the beast already slammed on the body of the Qian Kun Sword and forcing Long Feng to fall back a few steps.

Long Feng very quickly felt the stress and difficulties of defending himself from the ferocious beast attack, and struggles to barely protect himself. The Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf not only excel in term of strength, speed and ferocity, most importantly, the Hell Element within have the capability of curse, disrupting the mind, body and soul of the random passerby within his totem area.

With such disturbance on his mind, Long Feng started to feel weaker as he fought, and at the current situation of facing this ferocious beast alone, the side effect from the Hell Element is even greater, as it started to disrupt Long Feng in holding his current action. "I am getting weaker, what happened? Did I get poisoned anywhere?" Long Feng mind still managed to think rationally, but his current condition, is being reduced to the point of wishing to resist but doesn't have a slight strength to do so.

Long Feng only choice is to ignite all his Elemental Essence in his body to overcome the fatigue that started to appears around his body. As the Sky Elemental within his body unconsciously released, the side effect of the Hell Elemental started to reduce by a bit. "Eh, what happened? My body control returned for a slight moment, but then the stress on my body came over once again. Let's try to release the Elemental Essence again." Long Feng noticed the slight difference, but as he failed to notice the counter-effect from his Sky Elemental, Long Feng decided to keep doing the same attempts once again.

He struggles to stand up straight as he ignites all his available Elemental Essence stored within his body, and force the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf to showered with the three elemental he have within his body. Long Feng believes that he could recover the Elemental Essence anytime as long he meditates, thus he reserve nothing behind as he tried his best to retaliate. And as expected by Long Feng, this trick actually works towards the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf, as it began to get slightly purified by the appearance of Sky Element within its outer skin.

The purifying effect is strong enough to cause this Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf to howls in pain, as it body started to get dissolved by the purifying effect from the Sky Elemental. Taking advantages of such happening, Long Feng proceeds to fight the ferocious beast in an even ground now. He understands the danger of approaching this ferocious beast on its near death situation, but if Long Feng leave this "Boss" alone and run, in the future, this ferocious beast may turn stronger and more resistant towards his Sky Element, and possess the hunger to grow stronger.

"To totally removes all the weed, one need to make sure to get the roots!" Long Feng hesitation gone as he prepare his Qian Kun Sword to fight with this ferocious beast! The two quickly clash with each other, and with the help of popping in a Tiger Stripes Soul Pill into his mouth, Long Feng able to have four instant recovery each 10 minutes of time past. With such disadvantage, the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf quickly get subdue and pushed into a corner.

"I need to be fully prepared now, a beast that was pushed into a corner, will make sure that its death is not going to be an easy one to its killer." Long Feng understands the fact of what will happens if a beast is forced into a corner. He maintain his full caution towards the beast, as Long Feng slowly counter-attack each time the beast tried to force it way out from the deadly triangle. But with Long Feng is monitoring in such a tight security, the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf only could use its final attack to open a path to freedom.

"Roar-Auwooo!" the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf rolled on the ground as it use it's own claw to gave its body a few scratches. With the blood flowing from its body everywhere, the beast shakes its body and scattered its blood around to form a bloody circle. With the blood is well spill on the ground, the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf make a continuous howling, repeating it for a few moments as the ground started to have some bright light lit by its essence running across the blood stained circle, and forming an inscriptions.

"What? A Ferocious Beast that actually know how to form an inscription circle? This is dangerous!" Long Feng noticed the danger came from the beast, and immediately retreated by at least fifteen steps away from that deadly spot. Just then, a furiously emitted stream of howling souls came out from the ground like a broken pipe, and covering the whole area between the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf and Long Feng. The howl maintain for a moment, and like a timer is set before the bomb is detonated, Long Feng noticed that with each time the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf howls, the stronger and more dangerous the howling souls around them becomes. As the howling started to get into its ending, Long Feng finally noticed the danger around him!

"Shit, this is a final sacrificing skills! I need to protect myself!" Long Feng immediately pops a Tiger Stripes Soul Pill into his mouth and channel a strong Elemental Essence to protect his external body, and played the Defensive Wu Sword Art into his utmost limit. The howling finally came into its end, as each of the howling souls explodes like a fireworks, the explosion creates a chain reaction, and the explosion became even greater, with the whole 500 metres around the two explodes and a weak Hellfire appears from the remnants of the Howling Soul's gaseous body. The Hellfire continues to burn the surroundings, and only by Luck, Long Feng is still remain in a piece.

His clothing had all been burnt into ashes, due to the strong explosion forces in the first chain of explosions. It is lucky as Long Feng possess the might of Sky Elemental within his body, so he could resist the approaching Hellfire. But the ground around them are blessed by the luck, as the whole 500 metre circle around Long Feng and the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf is burnt into ashes, and nothing could be seen still remain alive and standing within this circle.

"I am actually really lucky to be alive, because of the Sky Element I possess. If its not because of this element is the   direct opposite of the wolf's Hell Element, I would be either dead or heavily injured by now." Long Feng understands the blessing he received in secret, and in fact, being very thankful for receiving such a hidden help when he was pushed into a corner. And it is also because of the final explosion that triggers the Hellfire to start burning around the land and trees around him, only Long Feng noticed that this Ferocious Beast, is a cultivator with the rare Hell Element from the Element of Kunlun.

It is just totally a luck, that the Sky Element within Long Feng's body is more potent than the Hell Element within the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf. He walked over to the beast remains, and collects all the bone as he throw them into the White Stone Pill Cauldron. Long Feng starts to ignite all the Fire Element Essence as he could into the Cauldron to refine the remaining bones until they turned into ashes. The urgency of this matter is above all, because the bones of the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf, contains its pure Blood Essence hidden within its Spine and Leg bones.

Only after an hour of firing on the cauldron, Long Feng able to see some veins hidden deep within the bones that contains all the rare pure Blood Essence within. The time quickly close to two hours, as the outer layer of the bone starts to disintegrate into ash, leaving only the rough and thick blood veins in the middle of the cauldron. Finally, the two drops of pure Blood Essence is successfully extracted by Long Feng, as he collects all the remaining ashes of the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf's bones and proceed to leave the totem area.

While from a distance of about 30 kilometres away, a pack of wolves is seen howling for the loss of its family members. If Long Feng actually knows that the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf he just struggles to kills is only a baby within the whole family, he will be escape with his tail between his leg if he encounter this nest with at least 200 Demon Blood Nightmare Wolves, lead by two even gigantic size wolves, comparable to an adult elephant.
