Half a year

Ye Fan carefully controlled the situation, forcing the Red Fire Snake and him into a stalemate, and no one dared to turn around and retreat easily.

But this kind of stalemate is very detrimental to the Red Fire Snake.

It had been injured, and gurgling dark red snake blood kept flowing out from the arm-thick wound on the snake's body, causing it to continue to lose blood.

Moreover, Sun Zaoli, Lin Danxin, and Feng Shuang worked together to push a boulder weighing no less than a thousand kilograms, and they had already pushed it close to the entrance of the snake cave.

It only takes a short while to seal the hole. At that time, it will be more difficult for the red fire snake to retreat into the cave.

"Tsk~!"

The red fire snake found that the situation was not good for it, and finally couldn't hold it any longer. Suddenly, its huge snake body pounced on Ye Fan, opening its bloody mouth and making a last counterattack.

"Flash Step Technique!"

Ye Fan's eyes were extremely calm, and he stepped out in an instant, dodged several feet away with three consecutive steps, and avoided another vicious two consecutive bites from the Red Fire Snake.

He clenched his fists, ready to attack at any time, but he just kept retreating and did not attack.

 "Go together!"

Mu Bing, Jiang Youxi and Ao Lie finally seized the opportunity. When the red fire snake attacked Ye Fan, they suddenly launched their weapons and stabbed at the snake's body.

"Ice Soul Silver Light Sword!"

With a flick of Mu Bingyu's wrist, a large piece of sword-light snowflake appeared, which sliced through the snake's scales and lifted up a piece of snake flesh.

"Qingyun Sword!"

Jiang Youxi held a sword and pierced deeply into the body of the red fire snake. He did not bother to draw the sword, but abandoned it and retreated quickly.

"Splitting Wind Claw!"

The sharp claws in Ao Lie's hand scraped off a piece of flesh and blood on the snake's body.

"Pfft!"

There were three more sword marks of different depths on the red fire snake's body, as well as bloody wounds from its sharp claws.

The red fire snake let out a shrill scream, wildly swung its long snake tail, and swept towards Mu Bing and the other three. Under this violent sweep, it was destroyed and rocks were tumbling.

But the three of them succeeded in one attack and immediately retreated dozens of feet away, not to get entangled with the red fire snake.

Ye Fan's cold eyes were fixed on the red fire snake. If it dared to turn around and chase the others, his flash fist would definitely explode in an instant.

The red fire snake learned the lesson from last time and did not dare to turn around and chase others. A pair of red snake eyes were still staring at Ye Fan.

But its injuries became more and more serious, and it couldn't bear the loss of blood. It spit out the snake letter fiercely at Ye Fan, began to swim its huge snake body, and quickly retreated towards the snake cave.

Lin Danxin and three others are working together to push a huge boulder to block the snake cave. They only have the last ten feet to block it.

When they saw the Red Fire Snake retreating, they were shocked and hurriedly retreated.

"No! It's going to go into the hole. If it gets into the hole, all our efforts will be in vain!"

"Be careful, don't get bitten by it!"

Although the red fire snake was injured, no one dared to stop this first-order, seventh-grade vicious snake that was already going crazy. Its final struggle, the mad backlash, is enough to kill.

Ye Fan couldn't help but feel anxious. If it escaped, it would be difficult to catch and kill it again.

"Big Hui, come out!"

A mysterious beast ring in his right hand suddenly flashed with light.

"Boom!"

The mammoth cub was so gray that its big butt suddenly fell to the ground, causing the ground to tremble.

Although it was only a month old, it had a huge appetite and grew very fast. It was already a ferocious beast. It is three to four times heavier than when it was born, weighing more than 400 kilograms.

This weight is almost heavier than two strong men weighing 200 kilograms each.

A pair of mammoth tusks sprouted from its mouth, almost as long as a body, extremely sharp, and shining with a cold light that made the teeth tremble.

Long hair has begun to grow all over its body, like a thick armor.

But these are nothing. What is truly terrifying is its power. The body of the cub weighs only four hundred kilograms, but it can explode with a terrifying attack power of two to three thousand kilograms.

"Big Hui, follow me!"

Ye Fan let out a sharp roar, kicked off his feet, and pounced towards the Red Fire Snake.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Da Hui was extremely excited, his eyes full of childishness, and he charged towards the Red Fire Snake. There is no concept of a seventh-grade vicious snake in its eyes. Wherever Ye Fan points, it will rush towards it.

The Red Fire Snake was startled. Apparently he had never seen such a strange-looking ferocious beast in Luyang Mountain. A small beast dared to challenge it. It suddenly went crazy, opened its bloody mouth, exposed its bloody snake fangs, and bit the big gray.

Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh secretly.

The Red Fire Snake's trick worked well against the ten young men, but when used against Da Hui, it was simply looking for death. Da Hui is surprisingly thick-skinned and powerful. No matter how big a tree or wall is, it will be destroyed by Da Hui.

"Pfft——!"

Da Hui showed no fear at all, and thrust a pair of ten-foot-long mammoth tusks into the red fire snake's mouth.

The sharp tusks directly penetrated the bloody mouth of the red fire snake.

Da Hui's momentum was too great. After piercing the red fire snake's mouth, a pair of slender and sharp mammoth tusks were still nailed to the rock wall, firmly nailed to the entrance of the snake cave.

Big Hui himself was stuck on the rock, unable to move. It widened its innocent black pupils and screamed wildly.

The red fire snake's head was nailed to the wall with big gray mammoth tusks, and it screamed in pain. Not to mention escaping back into the Snake Cave, it was impossible to even break free.

The red fire snake's huge snake body, which was seven to eight feet long, immediately wrapped around Da Hui's body frantically, trying to strangle it alive.

"Come on! Come on together!"

"The red fire snake's head has been nailed to death. Let's all come together and chop it off!"

Ye Fan screamed urgently, worried about Da Hui's safety, and rushed over first, blasting the "Flash Fist Technique" towards the red fire snake's head.

 boom!

Three consecutive punches shattered the red fire snake's hard snake head.

 boom!

Ye Fan struck again with three consecutive punches, and his fist had already penetrated into the snake's brain, beating the Red Fire Snake's brain into a ball of paste.

But the body of the red fire snake was still instinctively rolling up the big ash crazily, trying to strangle it to death.

 "I come!"

Jiang Youxi pulled out his three-foot-high Qingyun Sword from the snake's body and cut it fiercely. With more than ten sword skills, he cut the body of the red fire snake, which was seven or eight feet long, into two pieces.

Even Zhao Feiyang and Qin Yuer, who were shooting arrows in the distance, rushed over and cut the red fire snake's body with all their strength.

With the combined efforts of the young men, Da Hui was finally rescued from the red fire snake's body. Then they worked together to pull Dahui's pair of mammoth tusks from the rock wall.

Dahui is fine and is jumping around with excitement.

Seeing the red fire snake cut into several sections, the young men were so happy that they all lay down on the ground exhausted and rested for a while before regaining their strength.

This seventh-grade ferocious snake, the Red Fire Snake, died a bit unjustly, with a pair of red fire-colored snake eyes open, and it refused to rest in peace.

Ye Fan picked up the red blood fruit.

This vicious snake, which was seven to eight feet long, was divided among the young men.

"Let's go back!"

The young men each dragged a large piece of red fire snake back to the top of the mountain.

This was their first time to kill a ferocious beast, and it was a ferocious beast as high as level seven, so they were all excited and proud.

At night, on the top of the mountain in the deep mountains of Luyang, everyone was laughing and joking, barbecued red fire snake meat, and had a delicious meal.

The red fire snake's scales, fangs, and snake gall are all very valuable, but most of them don't care too much about the money and eat everything they can. What can't be eaten is made into trophies and kept as souvenirs.

The excess snake meat is dried and stored. This snake meat is enough for them to eat for several months.

"Senior Brother Gu, look at how much snake meat we have brought back! Each person can get at least several hundred kilograms of meat. Give this skewer of roasted snake meat to Senior Brother."

Qin Yuer grilled a bunch of snake meat for Gu Hanjian and said with a smile.

"Yeah! It's quite good snake meat. It's very good at nourishing qi and blood and strengthening the body! Your cultivation will be much better."

Gu Hanjian took the snake meat and gave a rare faint smile.

Ye Fan and a group of new boys from Luyang Mansion killed a first-order, seventh-grade red fire snake with almost no casualties, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.

The young men laughed.

"Since you have the seventh-grade red fire snake meat, which is a great tonic, to replenish your body, then strengthen your martial arts training! Get up half an hour earlier and go to bed half an hour later every day. The rest time for lunch and dinner should not exceed half an hour. An hour."

Gu Hanjian said again.

"What? No way!"

"Eating snake meat and training your martial arts more! Senior Brother Gu is too cruel!"

The young men were stunned and screamed in unison.

...

Sure enough, half an hour before the first ray of sunlight appeared the next morning, Gu Hanjian had already gotten up and started practicing martial arts for the day.

The young men could only follow and practice martial arts with miserable faces.

Although such days are boring, the physical strength and energy of the young people have been exhausted by hard work. They have no time to think about other things, and the time passes very quickly.

On the top of this deep mountain, there is no disturbance of Luyang City, no distractions from all kinds of hard work, there is only the matter of cultivation.

Years pass by day by day.

Half a year!

Gone by in a flash.

Ye Fan could hardly feel the passage of time, but he could clearly feel that his strength was growing rapidly. During this period, with the help of a large amount of red fire snake meat and the sixth-grade red blood fruit, he successfully broke through the fifth level of the warrior stage.

His "Three Flash" martial arts realm, under intense day and night practice, all advanced by leaps and bounds to the fifth realm. This is a very terrifying state, which means he can perform five consecutive lightning attacks.

Dahui is also growing smoothly, reaching the fourth-grade beast level. It is constantly gaining weight and height, and in half a year it is much taller than Ye Fan.

The other teenagers are also growing rapidly, but their talents are different, and their cultivation progress is also different, but they are all at around the fourth or fifth level of the warrior stage.

They came to practice in the mountains of Luyang during spring and summer. At this time, summer has passed and the autumn season has arrived. The wind has turned cooler, and the vegetation in the deep mountains has gradually begun to lose leaves and wither.

On this day, dawn breaks.

Ye Fan woke up on time, turned over and stood up, but found strangely that Senior Brother Gu Hanjian was not practicing the martial arts "Battle Sword" as usual.

Senior Brother Guhan Sword was carrying his ancient heavy sword and stood alone on the edge of the cliff, staring at the dawn that was about to break in the distant sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Senior Brother Gu, what's wrong? Don't you need to practice today?"

Ye Fan was a little surprised. This was the first time in so long that he saw Senior Brother Gu Hanjian not practicing martial arts.

Gu Hanjian looked back at him and said calmly: "I have reached the bottleneck of the ninth level of the warrior stage. I have not made any progress in this month. It is time to make a decision!"

Ye Fan was shocked and said in surprise: "The peak of the ninth level of the warrior stage!...This means that you want to awaken your bloodline? Prepare to be promoted to a warrior!"

"Well, I plan to conduct a retreat to stimulate the awakening of the bloodline! This bloodline awakening requires the warrior to completely stimulate and burn his own bloodline, which is dangerous and unpredictable. If it succeeds, he will be promoted to Martial Lord. Needless to say. But if the bloodline awakening fails, all the qi and blood will be lost. Being burned out, at worst, one's cultivation level will be destroyed, at worst, the cultivation level will plummet, and even fall back below the early stage of a warrior. This is the first awakening that one must face on the path of divine martial arts. The chance of a successful bloodline awakening is approximately It will not exceed one-tenth, but it is a level that all warriors must face at the peak of the ninth level. If you cannot pass it, you will be stuck at the ninth level of the warrior level for life, and all the hard work will end here."

Gu Hanjian said softly.

Ye Fan was startled for a moment and said in shock: "Senior Brother Gu, there is only one tenth chance of a successful breakthrough in awakening this bloodline. Isn't it extremely risky?"

"Yes! However, I am still young, only eighteen and a half years old, aren't I! Even if I fail, I still have enough time to rebuild and hit the bloodline awakening again! If I hesitate, wait until I get older and reach middle age. I just don't dare to take this risk easily."

Gu Hanjian nodded, looking calmly at the distant sky.

In the deepest part of the endless dark night, there is the place where dawn breaks.
