Sweeping Through (1)
"Okay, let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, we'll rest for a bit, and then we'll continue working." Fanxin didn't talk about anything else, keeping her head down and focusing on her meal. Langyue did the same.
Ren Fang and Xiaojin were lingering at the tower entrance, but she didn't go inside. She was unaware of the dangers inside. Going in rashly might put her in danger.
She didn't want to cause Fanxin any trouble, because if that evil person caught her and used her to Fanxin, then things would get really messy.
At that point, Fanxin might be caught in a dilemma.
Therefore, she didn't go in, intending to wait until Fanxin was ready before following him in. She had made up her mind; she didn't expect to be able to help Fanxin much, but at least she couldn't hold Fanxin back.
After Fanxin and Langyue finished lunch, they put away the lunchbox and handed it to Xiaojin. Xiaojin then used a part of its body to take the lunchbox home.
After resting for half an hour, Ren Fang, Langyue, Fan Xin, and the Fanxin did not hesitate any longer and headed into Wolf Valley fully Armament.
Langyue, Ren Fang, and Xiaojin walked in front, while Fanxin walked behind. He walked behind because his duty was to purify, and it would be easier to purify from behind, as he might be attacked by wolves if he walked in front.
Of course, this arrangement is not absolute.
If Langyue or Ren Fang were to encounter a crisis, Fanxin would absolutely not stand idly by. At that time, he would definitely take action against those vicious wolves.
As soon as they entered, countless ferocious wolves rushed out of the Wolf Valley, howling and staring at them with red eyes, looking as if they wanted to devour them.
"Let's do it, but be careful not to get entangled by the wolves," Fanxin said.
Ren Fang and Langyue nodded. Then, they attacked the wolf from the left and right.
The wolves had no tactics; they charged forward fiercely, intending to overwhelm them with sheer numbers. However, they were destined to fail, because the two opponents they faced were not meant for close combat.
The wolves can't get close to them, so what's the use of sheer numbers?
Langyue ran for a while, then immediately channeled her power to create a giant air wolf, launching a fierce attack on the vicious wolves. The giant air wolf was enormous, while the vicious wolves were relatively small. Therefore, in terms of strength, the giant air wolf was superior. In addition, the giant air wolf was hollow all over, so if you bit into its body, it would be easier for it to swallow you whole.
Therefore, many wolves fell victim to this. The giant air wolf kept devouring the wolves, and once it was full, it stopped. Then, it returned to Fanxin's side on its own, vomiting out the wolves from its belly one by one, and handed them over to Fanxin to deal with.
Ren Fang wasn't lagging behind either. She kept building Earth Wall to trap the wolves, then punched their heads until they were stunned. After stunning them, Ren Fang forcefully threw them in front of Fanxin so that Fanxin could deal with them.
The two of them were like harvesters, constantly reaping the wolves. Under their frenzied harvesting, the number of wolves on this level dwindled.
They spent five days clearing out the wolves on the first level.
Then they began to clear the second level. They spent twenty days clearing the second level. Immediately afterwards, they continued to clear the third level.
This Wolf Valley only has nine levels, and it took them six months to wipe out all the wolves in the first eight levels.
During these six months, their abilities improved significantly in their battles against the wolves. Langyue's speed and number of giant wolves created increased considerably. Previously, it could only create 150 giant wolves at a time. However, it can now create 450, more than three times the original number.
Ren Fang's strength and skill have both increased; she can now smash a wall with a single punch, something she couldn't do before. Her agility has also improved, making the phrase "moving like the wind" the most fitting description.
Of course, although Fanxin hadn't practiced his back techniques much in the past few months, his soul attack skills had become increasingly powerful due to his long-term practice of Soul Skill.
Moreover, as his Soul Power increased, his two secondary souls became even more powerful.
He can now use some of the Little Fox's abilities, though he's not very powerful yet, mainly because his secondary soul hasn't fully matured.
At the same time, for unforeseen circumstances, Fanxin created several secondary souls. Of course, these were not separated from his main soul, but rather he absorbed the souls of those living beings and then slowly assimilated them.
He didn't touch those secondary souls and preserved them well because he was worried he might need them later. If he used them now, he wouldn't have them to use later.
Over the past few months, everyone has grown a lot, and they all have happy smiles on their faces.
"Next is the ninth floor. That guy is really stuck inside. Once we take care of him, this tower will be ours," Fanxin said with a smile.
"However, I wonder what methods that bastard is planning to use against us?" Langyue said worriedly.
That guy is utterly despicable, but he's quite capable of controlling Wolf Valley. If you underestimate him, the consequences will be unimaginable.
It held a mixture of anticipation and apprehension.
"Who cares? We've wiped out all those wolves. He can't devour living beings anyway. I think even if he's incredibly powerful, there's a limit," Ren Fang said with a light snort. Although their opponent was clearly extraordinary, they had already come this far; were they really going to back down?
"That's right. In order to achieve victory tomorrow, the Little Black Cat will also join the battle tomorrow. It hasn't been idle these past few months," Fanxin said.
Although the Little Black Cat didn't participate in the battle, it has been undergoing unconventional training and its strength has increased considerably, though they are unaware of it. Tomorrow's battle is sure to be tough, so it doesn't intend to hold back anymore.
"Okay, it's settled then. Let's go back and get a good night's rest so we'll be energetic for tomorrow's battle." Ren Fang nodded without objection. Then, she took the lead and headed towards the seventh floor.
Langyue did not hesitate and followed closely behind.
Fanxin glanced at the ninth floor, grinned, and muttered to himself, "Just you wait, I'll take care of you tomorrow."
After saying that, Fanxin immediately left and headed towards the seventh floor.
However, Fanxin didn't know was that after he uttered those words, an angry roar suddenly echoed from the ninth floor, resounding throughout the entire ninth floor. However, because there was a spatial barrier between the ninth and eighth floors, the sound did not reach the eighth floor.
"Damn it, how dare you ruin my plans! You just wait, I'll make you pay!" This voice echoed continuously throughout the ninth level, failing to subside for a long time.
However, no matter how loud his voice was, Fanxin and the others couldn't hear it.
So they left Wolf Valley as if nothing had happened. After Fanxin put away Wolf Valley, they went home.
Since tomorrow is the final battle, no one is cultivating; they're all having fun and relaxing.
They each brought a chair and sat under a big tree to play cards, having a great time.
"Little Black, do you have any new weapons? You're going to play tomorrow too, and without a powerful weapon, you probably won't be able to beat that bastard." Fanxin asked the Little Black Cat while shuffling the cards after finishing a hand.
The Little Black Cat has never appeared before, so that lurking scoundrel certainly doesn't know what tricks it has up its sleeve. Could the Little Black Cat be used as a surprise weapon to give that guy a shock?
However, even though they are a surprise force, if they don't have some powerful tactics, then it's better not to have them at all, because they are going to fight to the death tomorrow, not play house.
"Hehe, new weapons? Of course we have them, you'll find out tomorrow." The Little Black Cat grinned, but didn't say anything, keeping him in suspense.
However, judging from its confident expression, its new weapon must be quite good; otherwise, it wouldn't be so proud of itself.
"Alright, then it's up to you tomorrow." Fanxin nodded, and after shuffling the cards, they continued to draw cards.
"Fanxin, I've been wandering around this island for months and discovered that it seems like people used to live here. There were houses here. However, all the houses have collapsed. Obviously, those people are either dead or have left," the Little Black Cat said.
In its search for minerals, it searched almost every inch of the island. Therefore, it knew the island almost perfectly. In the center of the forest, it discovered human-inhabited houses, though they had collapsed. This indicated that the island hadn't always been an uninhabited wasteland.
"Oh, did you check? Is there any treasure inside?" Fanxin asked curiously.
"We checked, but the whole place has collapsed. There's no treasure left," the Little Black Cat said.
"What's there to say? If there's no treasure, then let's just leave it at that." Fanxin shook his head. He had a lot of things to do right now. He didn't have time to explore a ruin. If there was treasure there, he wouldn't mind putting down his work and going there to explore.
"That's true, but every time I pass by there, I feel a chill. It's like a place where many people have died; it's eerie," the Little Black Cat said.
Upon hearing this, Fanxin paused for a moment, then said, "Gloomy? Could there be vengeful spirits there?" Generally speaking, the presence of vengeful spirits would make a place gloomy. Of course, it also indicates that many living beings must have died there. Only when many living beings die can resentment accumulate and transform into vengeful spirits.
Vengeful spirits are invisible to others and do not have any effect on people; they only give people a bad feeling.
