There are some places on my back where I cannot reach to apply the medicine. Help me apply it. Ye Jingyu’s tone was very calm, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.
Oh, alright. So that was the matter. Lan Ling took the medicine jar from her hand.
Only then did he notice the shocking wounds on Ye Jingyu’s back and thighs. Large patches had turned green and purple. These were all injuries from the blood horn giant serpent wrapping around her.
He took a deep breath to calm his emotions, then rubbed the ointment evenly in his palm and applied it firmly to the wounds on Ye Jingyu’s back.
Mm. Ye Jingyu’s delicate body suddenly shrank back.
Does it hurt a lot? I will be gentler. Lan Ling said.
No, use more force. Let the medicine penetrate deep into the muscles and bones. Ye Jingyu said.
Lan Ling immediately applied more force and wiped the ointment inch by inch over the wounds on Ye Jingyu’s back. His gaze, with the greatest willpower, stayed fixed only on her wounds and did not look elsewhere. But how could he avoid seeing?
A full quarter of an hour later, the ointment was finally applied completely.
Lan Ling was drenched in sweat all over, as if he were even more tired than when he had hunted the giant serpent. His heart felt as if it would jump out of his throat.
Done. You go out and wait for me for a while. Ye Jingyu said. After speaking she directly got up.
Lan Ling felt as if he had received a great pardon and immediately turned to walk out.
…
Inside the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, in the Venomous Snake Tribe.
The peerlessly beautiful black widow was bathing languidly in a flower soup, lovingly stroking every inch of her own skin.
Next. Her voice was truly soft and charming, as if it could melt a person.
Immediately, a tribal warrior brought in a human man. He was rather handsome, almost one in a hundred.
The human man had originally been full of fear, but upon seeing the black widow he was completely stunned and even forgot his fear in an instant.
There was actually such a beautiful woman in the world. For this peerless beauty, he was willing to live ten years less just to get close to her once.
The black widow’s beautiful eyes fell on his infatuated face and she immediately said with disgust: His looks are barely acceptable, but he is a bit lowly and vulgar. No.
Immediately, the human man looked extremely disappointed and was directly dragged out.
Then a tribal warrior stepped forward and slashed fiercely across his throat. Blood gushed out wildly and he fell to the ground dead.
The black widow said in a disappointed and delicate voice: Are there only these humans? Not even one handsome man. How am I supposed to drink blood? I have not drunk blood for several full days already. Is there really no super super handsome person who can let me be a blood sucking bride once more?
At this very moment, a tribal warrior rushed in quickly, holding a secret letter and said: Clan leader, a letter from the northern human kingdom, four feathers.
The black widow lazily took the letter, opened it and immediately saw a portrait.
In the portrait was an incomparably handsome and beautiful man, drawn extremely lifelike. It was precisely our Lan Ling (Suo Lun).
The black widow’s beautiful eyes lit up. She covered her chest and said excitedly: My lord, my darling lord, I am coming! I am coming to find you!
…
In the following days, Lan Ling and Ye Jingyu went out to hunt exotic beasts every single day.
After that special intimate moment in the morning, the two of them actually spoke less, but their tacit understanding had clearly improved.
Ye Jingyu had also discovered that Lan Ling’s cultivation method was very strange. He was extremely enthusiastic about hunting exotic beasts, but not to gain shooting experience. It was for another purpose, yet she never asked.
Whenever she had the chance, she still washed twice a day, only she no longer warned Lan Ling each time. Of course, Lan Ling never peeped or anything like that. Moreover, whatever he should or should not have seen before, he had already seen all of it.
However, the hunting in the following period did not have the same luck as that day when they hunted the blood horn giant serpent.
Most of the exotic beasts they hunted were ordinary ones, roughly at the same level as the blood cloud leopard. Their bloodline dragon power exceeded that of the fiery red savage bull, but was not extremely high.
As the number of hunts increased, Lan Ling’s spiritual locking of targets became farther and farther. He could already lock onto and shoot targets fifty five metres away.
At the beginning, hunting a blood cloud leopard required four or five arrows. Now it was one arrow, at most two.
In this way, he could hunt more than ten exotic beasts every day and continuously devour dragon power.
Lan Ling’s arm strength also kept increasing. On the third day after hunting the giant serpent, it broke through one hundred and eighty jin.
On the eighth day, it broke through one hundred and ninety jin.
On the twentieth day, it broke through two hundred jin.
But after breaking through two hundred jin, it seemed much harder to increase strength further.
The improvement brought by devouring dragon power from exotic beasts like blood cloud leopards had become very weak. Even dozens or hundreds of them could no longer raise it.
The second stage of hunting passed with another full month gone.
At this time, there were still twenty seven days until the graduation grand examination.
Lan Ling’s arm strength remained stuck at two hundred jin, still one hundred jin short of the target.
His spiritual locking distance had only broken through to sixty five metres and then could not advance an inch further. Yet the target he needed to reach was at least one hundred and fifty metres.
Only now did Lan Ling realise how difficult it was to break through to a level two warrior archer. At this rate, breaking through within a year would be extremely hard, let alone in less than a month.
…
Another day of hunting ended. The exotic beasts in the wilderness now really could not bring Lan Ling much breakthrough.
Ye Jingyu was kneeling on Lan Ling’s legs, giving him a full body massage.
Every evening she would loosen his tendons and massage his muscles.
After finishing the back massage, Lan Ling suddenly felt a weight, softness and bounce on his waist.
Ye Jingyu had actually sat directly on his waist. Lan Ling’s heart jumped fiercely and his breathing became rapid.
This… Ye Jingyu was really too casual. Moreover her buttocks were so round and bouncy. Sitting on his waist like this, was she not afraid he could not endure it?
Ye Jingyu leaned her body down and used her fists to pound Lan Ling’s legs, as if she did not feel anything inappropriate at all.
Suo Lun, there are still twenty seven days until the graduation grand examination. Adding the time for the journey, it will take at least seven days, so there are only twenty days left. Ye Jingyu said: From the current look of things, breaking through to level two warrior archer within twenty days is already impossible. What do you plan to do?
As soon as these words came out, all of Lan Ling’s romantic thoughts vanished.
Yes, from the current look of things, with the remaining twenty seven days it was completely impossible to break through to level two warrior archer. Obtaining the noble warrior medal was completely impossible.
His arm strength was still one hundred jin short of the target, and his spiritual power was even farther behind.
After a long while, Lan Ling said: Until the very last moment, I will not lightly speak of giving up.
Mm… Ye Jingyu did not speak further but continued crawling downwards and began massaging Lan Ling’s calves.
At this time, almost her entire upper body was pressed against Lan Ling’s body. Lan Ling’s heart beat faster once again.
Then the entire tent fell into silence.
Why do you never ask about me and Tuo Ba Ye? Ye Jingyu suddenly said.
Lan Ling thought for a while and asked: Do you like him very much?
Who would have known that after this question was asked, Ye Jingyu said nothing and became completely quiet.
Lan Ling was stunned. Was this question so difficult to answer?
Immediately afterwards, Ye Jingyu suddenly flipped over fiercely and pressed down on Lan Ling’s entire body.
His heart pounded wildly. What was she going to do?
Be careful, there are enemies outside. Ye Jingyu whispered in his ear: Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen…
She stopped counting towards the end because there were too many enemies, so many that her spiritual power could not yet sense and lock onto that many targets.
Prepare… Ye Jingyu whispered softly, then gradually hugged Lan Ling.
Run…
Immediately afterwards, Ye Jingyu charged crazily out of the tent, hugged him while mounting the horse, and rushed straight out.
Under the moonlight, Lan Ling saw clearly that over a hundred black shadows were slowly surrounding their tent.
These people wore human scalp clothing. Their faces were ferocious and ugly, nearly two metres tall, with narrow eyes, sunken noses, dishevelled hair, bodies covered in tattoos, and faces pierced with many holes stuffed with gold, silver or other metals.
In short, this group looked more like beasts than humans. Lan Ling immediately realised that these were the barbarians of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. No wonder the Nu Lang Kingdom did not worry about people using fake barbarian heads to claim credit, because these barbarians looked completely different from humans in the kingdoms and could not be faked at all.
When these barbarian warriors saw Ye Jingyu riding the horse charging over, they let out sharp roars and accelerated desperately towards them.
In front of Ye Jingyu’s warhorse, more than ten barbarian warriors blocked the way, holding terrifying long blades and slashing crazily towards the horse.
Lan Ling sat in front of Ye Jingyu and immediately bent his bow and nocked an arrow.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
At this distance and with such large targets, there was no need to aim at all. Three arrows were shot out instantly.
A miserable cry rang out and three barbarian soldiers died.
At the same time, the black star inside his body spun crazily and devoured all the bloodline dragon power overflowing from their corpses.
After he killed three, there were still more than ten barbarian soldiers blocking ahead, slashing towards the warhorse.
They did not kill people, only the horse.
Ye Jingyu gave a delicate shout and fiercely threw out the curved blade in her hand.
In an instant it was like an arc of lightning that instantly killed all the blocking barbarian warriors ahead, their heads falling.
Dragon power critical strike, instantly killing more than ten people in succession.
At this moment, Lan Ling clearly felt the dragon bloodline energy from these ten barbarian warriors floating out from their corpses. However, because he had not killed them, the demon star could not devour it at all. He could only watch helplessly as this dragon vein energy completely dissipated and returned to the world.
In this instant, the more than ten barbarians blocking the way ahead were completely slaughtered. Ye Jingyu carried Lan Ling and quickly broke out of the encirclement.
Behind them, several hundred barbarians chased after them crazily.
Lan Ling leaned around Ye Jingyu’s body, bent his bow and nocked arrows, and shot crazily at the barbarians chasing from behind.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
At a distance of forty to fifty metres, he could already lock onto and aim with spiritual power with complete ease, almost hitting every shot.
Bang, bang, bang…
Barbarians fell one after another. Even from dozens of metres away, the demon star still devoured their bloodline dragon power completely.
Devour, devour, devour! Crazy devouring!
