Chapter 209 - Misty Forest
After leaving the Feather Wind Sect, Elder Jing guided the outer disciples toward the entrance of Misty Forest.
Sometime later, Elder Jing halted her movement as she turned around to glance at the disciples.
"Behind me is the Misty Forest and you all will have a 3 weeks time frame to complete this test." Elder Jing then said.
The outer disciples nodded their heads in understanding.
Afterward, Elder Jing threw multiple talismans over to the disciples. "Those talismans are your life-saving tool. You simply activate the talisman and you will be sent outside."
"What happens if we use the talisman?" One of the disciples asked.
"Then you would have failed the test even if you manage to kill the minimum magical beasts." Elder Jing replied.
The disciples shuddered as they clenched onto the talisman. It may be a life-saving tool to them but it was also their disqualification ticket.
Elder Jing proceeded to answer the questions that the disciples had for another few minutes.
When no other questions were raised, Elder Jing waved her hand. "Alright, you can start venturing into the Misty Forest."
Swoosh!
Almost all the outer disciples quickly used their movement techniques to head inside the Misty Forest.
All of them had one goal in mind- achieving a great result and becoming the top 3 for this test.
Sometime later, Yang Wei started glancing around his surroundings as he took out a map.
"Hmm, I should be around the Fiery Bull area now." Yang Wei muttered as he found his position.
Following the direction of the map that he prepared, Yang Wei slowly found a Fiery Bull in the distance.
His eyes narrowed as he focused on the cultivation base of the Fiery Bull.
'2nd stage Foundation Core realm.' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he covered his presence.
Fiery Bulls are known for their tough hide and extremely fast counterattack with their horns.
Hence, Yang Wei wouldn't dare to fight it head-on and risked getting into a dangerous situation.
Yang Wei slowly walked past the bushes while the Fiery Bull remained ignorant about his presence.
When Yang Wei came near the Fiery Bull, he unsheathed his sword and closed his eyes briefly.
Opening his eyes, Yang Wei grabbed a small rock from the ground and threw it in the opposite direction.
The Fiery Bull was alerted as he turned around to where the rock was thrown and Yang Wei used this time to strike.
Using his movement technique, Yang Wei quickly got behind the Fiery Bull and struck his weak spot with the sword.
SHRIEK!
The Fiery Bull screamed in pain as the sword stabbed through its internal organs and blood started seeping out.
"Tch, I didn't manage to pierce through it completely." Yang Wei cursed as the Fiery Bull was still alive despite being ambushed.
Yang Wei quickly pulled out the sword and used his movement technique to dodge the counterattack of the Fiery Bull.
The Fiery Bull held a ferocious gaze at Yang Wei and it was clear that he wished to pummel Yang Wei into pieces.
Yang Wei's eyes remained focused as he started leaping upward to stand on a tree branch.
Afterward, he retrieved a small pill from his storage ring and threw it at the Fiery Bull.
Purple smog soon surrounded the Fiery Bull and started wobbling after inhaling the smog.
A few moments later, the Fiery Bull collapsed into the ground without any sign of life.
Yang Wei waited in the tree branch until the purple smog dissipated before jumping back down to the ground.
"I still underestimated the tough hide of the Fiery Bull." Yang Wei sighed inwardly as he had to waste a Toxic Smoke to deal with it.
Yang Wei knelt down slowly and stored the Fiery Bull into his storage ring as proof of killing a magical beast.
"Two more Fiery Bulls to go and I should be done." Yang Wei mumbled softly as he started leaving the area.
However, to his disbelief, Yang Wei couldn't find another Fiery Bull after traveling around.
He thought about the possibilities of why there are no more Fiery Bulls since it was unusual when their habitat is here.
Yang Wei suddenly halted his movement when he was about to search for a new magical beast to kill.
"Stop hiding around and come out already." Yang Wei then said.
There were no responses but Yang Wei was sure he was being watched by multiple people.
"Your killing intent is too strong so stop trying to pretend." Yang Wei sneered as he would be a fool to not detect such heavy bloodlust on him.
"Heh, another overconfident brat from a sect." A voice suddenly echoed and soon, five people showed up in front of Yang Wei.
Each of them was holding a position that blocked Yang Wei's path of retreat.
"Brother Shun, he has the same uniform as the other person that we managed to kill." One of them suddenly said as he eyed Yang Wei maliciously.
Yang Wei glanced at their attire and determined that they were bandits.
Bandits weren't rare in the Misty Forest or any other dangerous location since it was the easiest place for them to hide away from people hunting for their heads.
"It seems like you have killed one of our sect members." Yang Wei said calmly.
Since one of the bandits said that they have killed a person with the same uniform as him then it was obvious that they are now being hunted by bandits.
The one called Brother Shun laughed heartily as he smiled wickedly at Yang Wei.
"Indeed, that brat was trying to escape with a talisman but his movement was too slow. My flying dagger was faster than him and directly sliced his hand off." Brother Shun said.
Yang Wei nodded his head.
"So the Fiery Bulls in the area have been killed by you people right?" Yang Wei asked.
"Heh, since you are going to die as well then there's no harm in telling you that we have been hunting the Fiery Bulls for a certain person."
Brother Shun then waved his hand and the other four bandits quickly dashed toward Yang Wei.
