C116 Breakthrough

The smoke is rising, the beast tide is invading.

Those who lived in the Linghai Giant City knew what the smoke meant.

Therefore, the hunters and farmers who were hunting and farming outside the city became anxious and ran into the Linghai Giant City with their families.

This was outside the city. Although there was a Great Wall defense line outside the Evil Spirit Mountain Range, as well as a large and small fortress protection zone, every time a beast tide invaded, there would be a portion of the fish that slipped through the net.

For these ordinary farmers who had neither combat strength nor protection, the appearance of any demon beast could easily take their lives.

Therefore, every time the beast tide invaded, the people outside the city had to immediately enter the Linghai Giant City to seek refuge. When the beast tide passed, the City Lord Mansion would send troops to search for the demon beasts outside the city. Once they found them, they would be executed on the spot. Only at this time could the peasants safely return to their homes.

Indeed, such a life was very miserable, and it was carried out once in a while. However, there was no other way. The farmers and hunters who were farming and hunting outside the city were the lowest level of people in the Linghai Giant City. Those who had the ability had basically all moved into the city.

"Young man, let's go!"

At this time, an old farmer pushed a cart. There were two seven or eight years old children in the cart, as well as some bedding and dry food. The cart was about to rush to Linghai Giant City when he saw Chu Yun still leisurely walking on the road. He could not help but say, Young man, let's go!

Chu Yun smiled when he heard that. He saw the old farmer's house at the back and said, "Uncle, you're leaving just like that. Aren't you worried that your home will be destroyed?"

"Ai, how can I not be worried?"

The old farmer shook his head and said along the way, "But people can walk, and houses cannot walk. . . "

As he spoke, he gradually left.

When those demon beasts broke through the defensive line and entered the farming area outside the city, they would often wreak havoc in the villages, looking for humans who might exist. Other than demon beasts, there were also some unscrupulous thieves who would go through all kinds of trouble during this period of time.

Chu Yun couldn't help but shake his head and watch the old farmer's back as he left. He was slightly silent. Ever since he came to this world, he had come into contact with the martial cultivation class. Since ancient times, poor people were rich in martial arts, and those who could practice martial arts were mostly rich people who didn't need to worry about food or clothing. This was the first time he had come into contact with such a low class citizen.

"Ah, homeless people. . . "

Chu Yun sighed and then looked up in the direction where the smoke rose. He suddenly had a question in his heart. Since the Great Wall had been built, why not build it up?

If the Great Wall was the defensive line of the Linghai Giant City to defend against the invasion of the outside world, and its coverage was complete, then it would be impossible for the demon beasts that escaped the net to come in. These people who lived outside the city would also have a much better life.

However, according to Shopkeeper Yang, the defensive line of the Great Wall had only been constructed less than half a year ago. The remaining distance would be occupied by the various major powers in different regions, and they would defend it in a scattered manner.

This kind of defensive method was comparable to that of the Great Wall's defensive line. The Great Wall's defensive line's defensive method was naturally much lagging behind, and it was easy for the fish to escape the net. At the same time, it was also inconvenient for them to concentrate their forces. Logically speaking, they should have been replaced by the Great Wall's defensive line earlier.

But. . .

For so many years, the construction of the Great Wall's defensive line had not continued until today.

"Stone. . . Stone. . . . . . Where are you. . . "

At this moment, a deep voice called out from the front.

Chu Yun followed the voice and saw an old woman holding a crutch. She was hunched and her steps were slow. Her eyes were white and she walked carefully. Obviously, her eyes could not see.

"Elder, who are you looking for?"

Chu Yun went forward and asked.

When the old woman heard someone talking, she clearly trembled, as if she was afraid. However, when she heard Chu Yun's gentle voice and did not seem to have any evil intentions, she slowly opened her mouth to speak. "I am waiting for my son. . . He went into the mountains to hunt and has not returned yet. I heard smoke is coming from the north. I have to wait for my son to come back and enter the city. . . "

Chu Yun's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the mountain behind him and was about to say something when a system notification sounded in his mind.

Ding ~

Mission triggered.

[Mission Objective: Search for Hunter's Stone]

[Mission reward: Ten Spiritual Baits]

[Mission Time Limit: Within a day]

. . .

After the notification sounded, Chu Yun paused for a moment. He had wanted to help this pitiful old woman, but now that he had the quest reward, it was naturally for the best.

Thus, he said, "Old man, do you have anything close to your son's body? I have a hound that has a keen sense of smell. I can find your son by following his scent. "

After saying that, Chu Yun took out the Bluestone Gate and let out the Dahuang, making it bark twice.

"Yes, yes, yes. . . "

When the old woman heard that Chu Yun wanted to help her, she quickly nodded and said, "My, my house is behind. My clothes are all at home. . . "

Chu Yun nodded and supported the old woman to return to a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain. After standing in the courtyard and waiting for a while, the old woman took out her clothes. It was a dress sewn with deer skin and there were a few pieces of silver on it.

"The money at home is all here. . . "

The old woman said in a low voice.

"Elder, what are you doing?"

Chu Yun was startled.

The old woman sighed and smiled. "I don't know either. Are you really going to help me? If you are a good man, take away all the valuable things in my house. If you really want to help me. . . Then this money should be given to you as a token of appreciation. . . "

Chu Yun heard this and felt touched in his heart for a moment. He smiled bitterly and took the deer skin clothes over. He put them under the Dahuang's breath and let it smell with all its might. After remembering the smell, he returned it back to the Dahuang.

"My hound has remembered your son's smell. We will enter the mountain to search for him. Old man, don't go out and wait here. If I bring your son back later, he won't see you. When that time comes, your son will also be anxious. "

"Okay. . . Okay. . . "

The old woman hurriedly nodded. Her eyes did not have any focus, but she hugged her deerskin clothes and touched a few silver coins that were still intact on it. She could not help but say: "You are truly a kind young master. . . "

Chu Yun smiled. He turned around and brought the Dahuang into the mountain.

A hunter entering the mountain to hunt, with the speed of an ordinary person, he would not be able to walk much, much less far. Judging from the situation of the old woman and her son depending on each other, this hunter probably wouldn't go out for a few days without coming back.

Therefore, the search range was not very large. Chu Yun brought the Dahuang and walked around, sniffing around. After a while, he started searching. In a big pit dug out by a man, we found traces of the hunter.

The hunter carried a bow on his back and a short knife at his waist. At this moment, in an uncomfortable position, he had fallen into the deep pit. There was a dark blood stain on the back of his head. Although his breathing was still there, it was already very weak.

Ding ~

Congratulations, mission completed.

Mission reward (10 Spiritual Baits) has been sent to your System Space. Please check and receive it.

. . .

After the notification sounded, Chu Yun did not have any reaction. Ten Spiritual Baits was not worth paying too much attention to.

It could be seen that this huge pit was obviously a trap dug by a person. This hunter must have accidentally stepped into it and fainted until now.

"The situation is not good. . . "

Chu Yun stretched out his hand and beckoned. A spiritual energy flew out and landed on the hunter's body. He then pulled him out of the pit and slowly placed him on the flat ground beside him.

He stretched out his hand to examine the hunter's injuries. The abrasions on his body were not serious, but the injury caused by the back of his head hitting a rock was not light. If he did not have any miracle medicine, his life would probably be over.

Chu Yun thought for a while, took out the Bluestone Gate again, and walked in with the Dahuang.

"You came back so soon?"

Xiao Lee flew over like an elf and came in front of Chu Yun.

Chu Yun smiled and said, "I came to get a Cinnabar fruit. Someone outside is hurt. "

"Okay. "

Xiao Lee plucked a Replenishment Fruit and handed it to Chu Yun. She said, "Is one enough?"

"It is only a mortal. It should be enough. "

Chu Yun nodded.

After that, he left the Bluestone Gate and returned it to the System Space. Then, he pried open the red Replenishing Fruit and placed a small piece into the hunter's mouth. He used the spiritual energy to refine the medicinal strength of the fruit and slowly transferred it into the hunter's body.

This Earth rank Replenishing Fruit's effects were not the slightest bit inferior to the medicinal pills sold at a high price. It was naturally a piece of cake to treat an ordinary person's external injuries.

In just a short while, The hunter's finger shook twice on the ground. Immediately after, his brows slowly furrowed and his eyelids slowly opened.

When he looked up and saw Chu Yun, the hunter was obviously shocked. He hurriedly moved back a few steps. His back was against a tree trunk. He looked at Chu Yun and asked, "Who are you?"

"The person who came to save you. "

Chu Yun smiled faintly and said, "You are called Shi Tou, right? Go home. Your mother is waiting for you at home. "

When he finished speaking, Shi was obviously stunned for a moment. He rubbed his head with force and only when his hand touched the back of his head did he realize that there were bloodstains all over his hand. He immediately sucked in a breath of cold air as he recalled what had just happened. He accidentally walked past the pitfall set up by the other hunters and once he fell down, his head would be in extreme pain. Not long after that, he lost consciousness. . .

Based on the amount of HP he lost, he should have died a long time ago. How could he still wake up now. . . Furthermore, his head did not hurt at all. When he touched it, he did not find any wounds. . .

"Benefactor, I. . . "

Stone knew that Chu Yun must have saved his life, so he hurriedly raised his head and was about to say something.

Unexpectedly, the figure in front of him had already disappeared.

. . .

When they returned to Linghai Giant City, the beast tide had basically retreated.

The scale of the four smoke signals wasn't considered big. Shopkeeper Yang from the Elemental River Pavilion had already brought Manager Liu and the others to provide support, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Chu Yun returned to his residence and took out his fishing rod. He had just obtained ten Spiritual Bait. Although the reward given by Chu Yun wasn't that powerful, it was still better than nothing.

Ding ~

Congratulations, you have obtained one Blackstone golem!

Ding ~

Congratulations, you have received ten Spirit Bolts.

Ding ~0

Congratulations, you have received 1 Light Stone.

Ding - -

Congratulations, you have received a bottle of special material, Black Silver Water.

Ding - -

Congratulations, you have obtained 80 years of martial arts cultivation.

. . .

After the notification sounded, Chu Yun's body couldn't help but stop moving. As the ball of light flew into his body, his Peak of Myriad Stone Stage cultivation base finally began to advance.

Eighty years of cultivation was already a lot for ordinary people, but when it came to Chu Yun, who had two Earthly Grade Martial Spirits, he could only take one step forward.

And now, what Chu Yun needed was. . . That was all.

After all. . .

His cultivation base had been stuck at the Peak of Myriad Stone Stage for a long time. As long as he took another step forward, he would be able to reach the Mountain Sea Stage.

At this moment, the time had come.

Boom!

The spiritual energies in his body began to ripple. They surged upwards like waves, rushing into the sea of the divine soul. They merged with the power of the divine soul, reaching the wondrous realm of being one with the world.

Chu Yun's entire body trembled. A large amount of spiritual energies around him surged into the Elemental River Pavilion. Although it was not as shocking as when Mr. Xu consumed the Spirit Continuing Fruit, it still formed a spiritual energy tide in a small area.

The surging spiritual energies surged into Chu Yun's body. Together with his Divine Soul Sea, they repeatedly washed over Chu Yun's body before finally returning to calm.

Mountain Sea Stage, first grade!

"Hu -"

Chu Yun let out a long breath. He had been in Linghai Giant City for almost two months and had finally broken through.

His face turned dark. He had used so many Earth Grade Baits before, but they were still unable to catch any cultivation base. When he finally broke through, he had to rely on Spiritual Baits. This was just a mere 80 years.

However, one should be content with what he had. Regardless of whether it was the 300 years of Earth Grade Bait or 80 years of Spiritual Bait, the result would still be able to help him break through to the Mountain Sea Stage. As long as he could cross this threshold, Chu Yun's combat strength would have a terrifying increase.

When he was still at the Myriad Stone Stage, Chu Yun was able to fight a peak Mountain Sea Stage warrior with all his strength, or even one versus many. Now that he had broken through to the Mountain Sea Stage, if he were to face the same situation again, he was afraid that he would have to suppress them.

Everyone in the outside world said that Ye Cangyun was the number one warrior below the Nirvana Stage. Chu Yun really wanted to know how many moves his opponent could take under his control.

Chu Yun chuckled. He was in an extremely good mood. After fishing for a while, he used up all the remaining Spiritual Baits.

At this moment, a sound was heard from the Elemental River Pavilion. It sounded like Shopkeeper Yang, who had gone out to resist the beast tide, had returned with Liu Chuang and the others.
