Chapter 58

In front of a trickling stream, Li Qingyang wiped his blood-stained Han Fengjian with water on his cuff.

He used the sword given by the head for the first time, which made him very satisfied, and he secretly said, "If I had such a sharp weapon in my hand before, how would I have been seriously injured by a beast."

Su Xiaomo sat on the stone and looked enviously at the cold sword in his senior brother's hand. He said, "I must perform well, get the head's approval, and replace this wooden sword with a sword like that!"

Lu Yan leaned against a tree, looking into the distance with bright eyes, as if admiring the mountain scenery. Occasionally, she glanced at Xun Jun, who often had a sad face. She wondered, "What's bothering him?"

It wasn't a big issue. Xun Jun just encountered a little trouble figuring out how to form bullets from the desert crystal nuclei.

In the space ring, Xun Jun's thoughts transformed into a human form, holding a gun in one hand and a bright red crystal nucleus in the other. He swiped back and forth several times, but nothing happened.

Xun Jun sighed silently, "Without a manual, how am I supposed to make bullets?"

The system replied, "The host can communicate with the nuclei using spiritual thoughts, pulling the energy out and integrating it into the groove at the bottom of the pistol."

"A groove?"

Xun Jun quickly turned the gun over and found an inconspicuous groove at the bottom. He sat down and tried to communicate with the nucleus using his spiritual thoughts.

The beast's nucleus contained a majestic spirit source, but it was too violent and had to be refined before use.

Nuclei had many functions; for instance, they could be used to refine elixirs or bless weapons, making them very expensive and unaffordable for ordinary martial artists.

Xun Jun carefully guided the impetuous spirit, slowly pulling it like a trickle of water into the groove at the bottom of the Desert Eagle, where a red dot began to flash.

"Ding!" After a moment, a bullet-like light formed at the handle of the gun, which made Jun Chang laugh. He guessed that a bullet had been loaded.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

The spiritual power continued to be poured along the grooves, and the bullet shape at the gun handle gradually accumulated, soon forming seven bullets.

At this moment, the spiritual power could no longer enter, indicating the bullets had been filled, and the energy in the crystal nucleus had been mostly absorbed.

"Seven bullets are a bit less."

Xun Jun often laughed and withdrew his thoughts. He whispered, "An expansion magazine would be nice."

"Brush!"

With a thought, he summoned the Desert Eagle, held the gun in both hands, and aimed at a stone. "Don't move, I'm the police!"

Lu Yan said faintly, "Good idiot."

Su Xiaomo leaned over, one eye stuck to the muzzle, and grinned, "Head, what is this thing?"

"This is a gun."

Xun Jun quickly raised the muzzle, fearing it might accidentally go off and harm his own disciples.

Su Xiaomo said dumbly, "Is this a gun?"

In his understanding, a gun was a weapon with a gun handle and a gun head!

Xun Jun often laughed and explained, "To be precise, it is a hidden weapon that can shoot darts, making people invincible."

With this explanation, Su Xiaomo immediately understood and smiled, "Head, can you shoot it for us to see?"

Xun Jun often laughed and shook his head, saying, "There aren't many hidden devices in it. In times of danger, you can't use them randomly."

"Got it."

Su Xiaomo scratched his head and backed away.

Li Qingyang asked, "Head, what is the police?"

"Uh."

Xun Jun often laughed and replied casually, "Just something I said offhand, don't worry about it."

He looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go, we're heading back to the martial arts."

He pinned the Desert Eagle to his waist and walked with great confidence. After all, with a gun on his body, he felt safe and secure!

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a ferocious roar came from Wolf Valley.

Li Qingyang frowned, "Head, that's the voice of a wolf beast. Are there more than one in the valley?"

"Here it is." Lu Yan placed her hand on her sword, her eyes turning cold.

Li Qingyang and Su Xiaomo were also on alert.

"Brush!"

After a short while, a fiery shadow emerged from the grass, standing tens of meters away from the four.

It was a fierce beast with a very similar head to the Ground Flame Wolf, but the body was much larger, almost two meters high, and the flames under its feet were even fiercer.

Li Qingyang said solemnly, "Ground Flame Wolf King."

Lu Yan's brows furrowed slightly, "A seventh-grade beast."

There were detailed divisions of the beasts in the Pleiades, including low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade beasts, corresponding to martial artists, martial masters, and martial kings.

Above these beasts were the spirit beasts, also divided into low, medium, and high grades, corresponding to the king of war, emperor, and saint. The highest was the holy beast, corresponding to the emperor.

No matter what level, beasts were ranked from one to nine.

The Ground Flame Wolf killed by the three disciples was a second-grade beast. This Ground Flame Wolf King was a seventh-grade beast, comparable to a seventh-grade warrior.

The gap between a second and seventh-grade beast was vast.

"Trouble."

Li Qingyang frowned, holding his sword in front of him. "You go first, I'll hold it off!"

"Hold it off? Are you kidding me?"

Xun Jun pushed him back and stood in front of his disciples, saying, "Remember, the first principle of our Iron Bone Sect is to face life and death with equanimity."

Li Qingyang was bewildered.

Su Xiaomo twitched his mouth and said, "Head, isn't our first principle to be people of iron bones and do things with iron bones?"

"Just changed." Xun Jun laughed.

Li Qingyang and Su Xiaomo almost fell over. Their martial principles could change just like that? This was too casual.

"All of you, stand back. Today, I will take down this beast." Jun Chang laughed, pulling out the Desert Eagle from his waist, only to find that the three disciples had already retreated.

Su Xiaomo stood in the distance and said, "Go on, Head, you can do it!"

That line sounds familiar ...

Xun Jun often shook his head with a smile and pointed the muzzle at the Ground Flame Wolf King, declaring proudly, "You foul beast, your time is up."

"Roar!"

The Ground Flame Wolf King roared, flames spewing from its body, and then sprinted forward.

"Prepare to die!"

Xun Jun pulled the trigger, only to hear a 'pop' sound with no movement, no bullet, nothing!

Nima!

What's going on?

Xun Jun fired two more shots, but only heard the same popping sound with no bullets fired.

"Roar!"

The Ground Flame Wolf King lunged at him, claws extended with flames erupting from them.

Xun Jun quickly dodged to the right, frustrated. "Is this a gun or a model!"

The system responded, "The host didn't load the bullets."

"Damn, I forgot!"

Xun Jun rolled back several times, while quickly fiddling with the gun's safety mechanism.

"Sinful beast, prepare to die!" He knelt, pulled the trigger again, and heard only a slight 'snap' sound without hitting a bullet.

Damn it.

What is happening?

"What is the head doing? Why isn't he firing the hidden weapon?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the head is practicing his reaction time."

"My goodness, practicing reaction time against a seventh-grade beast. The head is incredibly brave!"

Su Xiaomo was in awe.

"Roar!"

The Ground Flame Wolf King turned its head and unleashed a barrage of flame cannonballs. It was much stronger than the ordinary Ground Flame Wolf!

However, it was still slow.

Xun Jun rolled again, barely avoiding the flames, and screamed internally, "System, what the hell is going on!"

"The host didn't pull the safety plug."

Damn it...

Xun Jun, exasperated, saw the small baffle at the hammer and hurriedly removed it.

"Roar!"

The Ground Flame Wolf King charged again, moving swiftly, flames erupting from its claws, aiming to tear the human in front of it apart.

"The head is in danger!" Su Xiaomo's face changed dramatically.

"Clang! Clang!"

Lu Yan and Li Qingyang drew their swords together. Just as they were about to rush over, they heard a loud 'bang,' and their ears rang. Everyone froze in their tracks.
