Previously, it took three to four days of hellish training to break through one level. But this time, after just one day and night of trial, he had actually broken through!
This truly made Lan Ling very puzzled. Why was there such an effect?
Besides, he hadn’t been with a woman for several days and nights.
Actually, this was the effect of killing. In this great battle, Lan Ling had killed countless people, personally slaying nearly a thousand. Although it wasn’t like when the Demon Star was present, allowing him to directly devour bloodline power, it did indeed have a very mysterious effect.
In fact, what was even more useful was life-and-death combat at close quarters. It’s just that Lan Ling didn’t have this opportunity.
At this moment, Lan Ling noticed that Dina’s face had actually become much paler again, now approaching a wheat colour. With this change, she had indeed become much prettier.
Moreover, she had changed her clothes.
It was actually a very sexy short skirt. Lan Ling truly had a feeling of temporal dislocation.
Because the Dina before him was wearing a leopard-print tight short skirt, with two sexy super-long legs exposed outside, and on her feet were a pair of exquisite boots.
This outfit really resembled a modern girl from Earth.
But Lan Ling quickly reacted. The Savage Wilderness world was primitive and unrestrained, so it could more closely approach the essence of aesthetics.
And this so-called leopard-print short skirt was actually made from real leopard skin. As for boots, the upper-class people of the Chimera Tribe had always worn them. For example, Ninian had many pairs of boots.
Lan Ling’s lover, the fox clan beautiful young married woman Ali, also had two pairs of boots, which she treasured very much.
“Ali took me to buy them.” Dina said, her face flushed red from Lan Ling’s gaze. “I bought them with that box of your gold coins.”
Lan Ling had exchanged all his Head Merits for gold coins, nearly five hundred in total. He handed over half to the Foreign Army and kept the rest for himself. This was also the Foreign Army’s tradition.
Normally, from private hunts, after paying tribute to the tribe, everything had to be handed over to the Foreign Army, because this was the food they relied on for survival. The brothers of the Foreign Army had always been short of food.
But Head Merits exchanged with blood on the battlefield only required handing over half.
Normally, a Foreign Army soldier couldn’t save one or two gold coins in a whole year. And Lan Ling suddenly had over two hundred gold coins. This was completely a huge sum.
And every time after a great battle ended, the tribe’s marketplace would be very lively. Even people from nearby tribes would come to trade.
Dina had originally planned to buy things for Lan Ling and the little girl. But in the end, she couldn’t resist the temptation of those beautiful clothes and boots. Under Ali’s encouragement, she bought two sets for herself.
“Truly beautiful. How many sets did you buy?” Lan Ling applauded.
“T, two sets…” Dina said. “I bought two sets for foster father, five sets for the little girl, two sets for me, three sets for you.”
“You only bought two sets for yourself? Too few.” Lan Ling said. “You should have bought ten sets.”
Dina said with excitement and nervousness, “Too expensive. I was already very reluctant to buy two sets. Besides clothes, I also bought you a sword, a knife, some medicinal herbs, a blanket, some fine salt and so on. I also gave Ali two bottles of rose oil, and bought one bottle for myself.”
Lan Ling suddenly noticed something was wrong. Then he walked behind Dina and discovered her tail was gone. He then reached out to touch her behind.
“W, what are you doing?” Dina tried hard to dodge, not letting Lan Ling touch her, her face red.
“Where is your tail?” Lan Ling asked.
“C, cut off.” Dina said in a trembling voice.
“Cut off?” Lan Ling exclaimed in shock.
For many barbarians, the tail was a very important part of the body. It not only maintained balance, but also perceived danger in the world, and was even a kind of weapon.
For example, with Dina, every time she was the first to sense the aura of danger, it was her tail.
And cutting off one’s own tail while alive, wouldn’t that hurt?
“Why did you cut it off?” Lan Ling asked.
Dina turned her head and said, “It was somewhat inconvenient… so I cut it off.”
Of course this wasn’t the reason!
Before the battle, Suo Mo had formally told Dina that he was betrothing her to Lan Ling, and Lan Ling had also agreed.
Then, Dina entered a very peculiar emotional state. Excited, hopeful, nervous, uneasy.
And damnably, Gou Fu’s wife, that fox clan beautiful young married woman Ali, unable to endure her longing, had actually taken the initiative to run to the Foreign Army camp to find Dina.
Dina had truly gone mad at the time, and Ali had actually said she came to see Lan Ling’s daughter.
From then on, Ali came every day, bringing things for little Ya Ya every day.
Dina was very displeased with her, feeling she was a vixen. But inexplicably, the two had also become friends.
Then Dina discovered that Ali’s tail was fluffy and furry, very cute and alluring. The tribe’s number one beauty, the Chieftain’s second wife Si Si, had no tail, and was even more beautiful and captivating.
Most importantly, she knew Lan Ling came from the human kingdom, so she felt he would definitely like human women and definitely not like the tail behind her.
After thinking it over and struggling for a long time, one night she cut off her tail, making herself look less different from human women.
At this moment, Lan Ling felt an indescribable sensation in his heart. He yanked off Dina’s skirt, revealing her round, astonishingly pert bottom.
“W, what are you doing?” Dina quickly squatted down, covering herself.
Lan Ling noticed that at the base of her tailbone, there was a red wound.
This was a true severed tail, cut off at the root.
“You really are foolish.” Lan Ling said, then lightly bit her bottom.
Dina was as if struck by lightning. This was Lan Ling’s first intimate contact with her.
“Did uncle scold you?” Lan Ling asked.
Dina nodded.
It was more than a scolding. When Suo Mo saw that Dina had cut off her own tail, he was simply horrified.
For many barbarians, the tail was very important, an aid in combat, another weapon.
But he had not expected that Dina, merely to make herself look more like a human woman, would cut off her own tail at the root. Lan Ling hadn’t even shown that he disliked tails.
Once emotions were involved, did women become completely irrational?
Instantly, Suo Mo thought of his wife, the love of his life.
His wife was a few years older than him. When he was fifteen, she came to seduce him. When he was seventeen, she tricked him into bed.
Her love was similarly incomparably intense, fervent, and irrational.
Actually, at the time Suo Mo had liked another girl, gentler, more frail. It’s just that he completely couldn’t resist his wife’s fiery offensive and quickly fell.
Up to now, there was only his wife in his heart. As for the face of the girl he once liked, he couldn’t even remember it anymore.
“Rumours are spreading outside that the Chieftain wants to take you as his son-in-law.” Dina suddenly said. “So rest assured, I absolutely will not stand in your way.”
She still said these words. From yesterday, these words had been bottled up in her heart, making her very uncomfortable.
Lan Ling pursed his lips and said, “That’s right, he indeed wants to marry Ninian to me, on the condition that I break with the Foreign Army and break with uncle.”
“Will you?” Dina said.
“What do you think?” Lan Ling asked.
Dina said, “I am as light as a feather, not worth mentioning. But you absolutely must not betray foster father. Now you are his only hope.”
“Don’t say for uncle’s sake. Even for your sake, I won’t.” Lan Ling said, “I don’t want to marry a woman with a heart as venomous as a snake’s. For a wife, a foolish woman like you is better.”
These words made Dina’s heart sweet, yet also gnash her teeth.
Because she had already supplied the latter half of the sentence in her mind: for a lover, find a vixen like Ali.
“Where is little Ya Ya?” Lan Ling asked.
Dina said, “She went out early to play with the little griffin, training it to catch mice to eat.”
Lan Ling said, “Where is uncle?”
Dina said, “He went to busy himself with military affairs. He said he wants to hurry and train new recruits, using all the gold coins exchanged from this battle’s merits to buy meat and medicine. During this period, everyone can eat well and their fill.”
It seemed Suo Mo had also begun working hard to raise the Foreign Army’s combat strength, preparing for the day of rebellion and independence.
The day of rebellion and independence was already very near!
“Alright, let’s begin hell training.” Lan Ling said, “From today, I will weight-bearing run thirty thousand metres, and swing my sword four thousand times.”
“Ah, why?” Dina said, “That’s too hard. And the Foreign Army brothers have already accepted you. The next battle is still far away.”
Lan Ling was of course filled with urgency, because his time was running out.
“I can’t always be someone even you can’t beat.” Lan Ling laughed, then said, “Your tail is gone, will you fall over when walking?”
“Hateful, don’t make fun of me.” Dina said, “I’m changing clothes.”
Then seeing that Lan Ling had no intention of leaving, she hid behind a cabinet to change clothes. Only the cabinet wasn’t large, so Lan Ling still occasionally caught glimpses of alluring spring scenery.
…
Lan Ling’s new hell training began!
One thousand eight hundred and fifty jin of weight, thirty thousand metres a day, four thousand heavy sword swings.
It wasn’t until one o’clock in the afternoon that he completed half of the hellish trial, followed by three hours of hunting and blood-sucking.
Dina, wearing a tight combat leather outfit, followed Lan Ling the entire time, still symbolically holding a whip in her hand.
When she saw Lan Ling reveal his fangs and bite into the necks of those demon beasts to suck blood, she actually had an impulse. She hoped Lan Ling’s sharp fangs would bite into her own neck, sucking her blood.
This feeling was very strange and fervent, but it always inexplicably welled up in her.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Lan Ling once again went to a remote valley to have an affair with the fox clan beauty.
The moment he saw this fox clan beautiful young married woman, her eyes seemed about to overflow with water, about to burst into flame. She charged directly at Lan Ling, her red lips kissing him directly, as if she were about to suffocate.
“I haven’t bathed yet.” Lan Ling said.
“No bath, no bath. I miss you so much I’m going mad…” This fox clan young married woman was truly going mad. It was as if Lan Ling had poisoned her, making her addicted.
These past dozen or so days, she hadn’t been intimate with Lan Ling. Her entire heart and body were crazily longing for him like a demon.
Fortunately, her husband was even more deeply poisoned. His lower body had almost completely rotted away, completely lifeless. Otherwise, he would definitely have discovered her abnormality.
A few days ago, Ali truly couldn’t endure her longing, and had actually gone to the Foreign Army camp as if possessed by a ghost, to see Lan Ling’s “daughter”, to endure Dina’s cold mockery.
Both she and Lan Ling had been empty for over ten days. Instantly, they were like fire and water, wildly merging, wildly burning.
The sounds they made were completely unsightly.
Hearing them, Dina’s heart swayed, her entire body trembled, and she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Her fiance was having an affair with another woman. As his fiancee, she had to help keep watch. Was there anything more absurd in this world?
According to Dina’s previous thinking, she should rush up and hack Lan Ling to death with one blow, then walk away gracefully.
But the reality was so absurd. She was keeping watch for her fiance while he stole a woman.
After a full hour of madness, Dina heard Ali’s love words still flowing endlessly, those shameless words coming out of her small mouth one after another.
Dina truly couldn’t endure it anymore. She turned and walked into the valley, grabbing the naked Ali and pulling her up. “Alright, you should go home. Lan Ling still needs to train. Otherwise he won’t complete today’s mission.”
“Oh, someone’s jealous.” Ali laughed coquettishly, then lazily got up and began putting on her clothes one by one. While dressing, she kept whispering in Dina’s ear, making her face flush red.
“Stop it, do you have no bones in your body?” Dina said irritably, pushing her away. Smelling the captivating fragrance on her body, she immediately said indignantly, “Shameless vixen.”
For the next several hours, Dina never had a good expression on her face, her whip cracking against the ground with loud snaps.
Indeed, it wasn’t until one o’clock in the morning that Lan Ling completed today’s hellish trial.
The days passed one by one.
Every day, Lan Ling did thirty thousand metres of weight-bearing hell training, four thousand heavy sword slashes. Every day he went hunting to suck blood. Every day he had an affair with Ali.
Every day, for the first half, Dina’s expression was gentle. For the second half, her expression was icy cold.
Day after day, the same!
Although Lan Ling had increased the level of his hellish trials, the effects were ultimately growing weaker and weaker.
Suo Mo had said that Demon Warrior was a dividing line.
Before Demon Warrior, this kind of simple, direct hellish trial still had effect. But after breaking through to Demon Warrior, the effect of this kind of trial would be negligible.
On the fifth day after returning to the Chimera Tribe, Lan Ling broke through to ninth-level Warrior.
On the twelfth day, Lan Ling broke through to tenth-level Warrior!
At this point, he was only one level away from Demon Warrior.
Every day after that, he trained like mad, almost without time to sleep.
Two hours of hunting every day, one hour of affair, the remaining twenty hours all spent in hellish training.
But the effects grew weaker and weaker, weaker and weaker.
On the seventeenth day, Lan Ling’s strength broke through one thousand two hundred and sixty jin. He was only forty jin away from Demon Warrior.
But these forty jin became extremely difficult to improve.
On the latest day, Lan Ling’s mad hellish training only increased his strength by seven jin, and it was still rapidly declining.
And at this time, there were only three days left until Lan Ling’s final showdown with Constantine!
On the eighteenth day, Lan Ling was still thirty-three jin of strength away from Demon Warrior.
On the nineteenth day, Lan Ling was still twenty-eight jin of strength away from Demon Warrior. Truly within arm’s reach.
At this time, there was only one day left until the final showdown with Constantine!
Tomorrow would determine Lan Ling’s life or death! Determine the Foreign Army’s future!
