Chapter 130 Third-Rank Mind Master
Upon waking up, Xiao Chong discovered that his body had undergone significant changes.
His previously depleted mental energy was now fully replenished, and the strength of his spiritual consciousness had increased significantly. His body was full of vitality, and he was no longer weak and listless.
Xiao Chong could clearly feel that his mental power cultivation had reached a new level.
Now, to launch a mental attack like [Azure Thorn], it is no longer necessary to rely on the spiritual impact method passed down by the cauldron spirit; it can be accomplished with a mere thought.
Moreover, compared to the previous thin, needle-like "green thorns," the current "green thorns" are as thick as chopsticks, truly a cluster of concentrated thoughts.
The ability to launch mental attacks at will indicates that Xiao Chong has made further progress in his cultivation as a mental master, and has officially entered the realm of a third-grade mental master.
What pleased Xiao Chong the most was the change in the Purple Cloud Cauldron. Due to the enhancement of his divine sense, the space inside the cauldron had expanded, becoming more than twice its original size.
This is the most important point. Although the Purple Cloud Cauldron has not yet been found to have any special uses for attacking enemies, it serves as a supply base for Xiao Chong. All the good things he collects can be stored inside and taken out as needed, making it of great strategic significance.
After his initial excitement, Xiao Chong decided to test how much progress he had made in transforming divine sense into arrows.
Xiao Chong took out the Heaven-Shaking Bow, drew the bowstring, closed his eyes, inhaled, contracted his abdomen, tightened his anus, and focused his mind. All the movements were completed in one go, as smoothly as flowing water.
Success! Upon opening his eyes, Xiao Chong saw another streak of dark light appear between his fingers. Unlike the previous one, which was as thin as a hair, this streak of dark light was much thicker and longer, almost the size of a toothpick.
If it could tear a hole in the roof when it was as thin as a hair, wouldn't it tear the entire roof off now? Xiao Chong really wanted to see how powerful it was, but when he thought of the excruciating pain that would be felt after the arrow was fired, he finally suppressed his impulse and dispersed it.
"It needs a grand name, otherwise it won't be worthy of its status. Since this arrow is formed from divine consciousness, let's call it the [Soul Arrow]."
"Yes, the Arrow of the Soul, a single arrow that steals the soul! It's in no way inferior to the world-famous Little Li's Flying Dagger, and may even surpass it."
After much thought, Xiao Chong named this arrow formed from divine consciousness, then suppressed his excitement and waited for dawn.
This is destined to be an unsettling night; many people are unable to sleep due to various emotions.
For example, Hengshan, feeling relaxed after the wild beasts retreated, was sitting under the lamp, racking his brains, trying to figure out how to make up for the losses of the past few days.
For example, Situ Mingyue, disregarding her brother's advice, was directing the miners she brought to pack and organize the most valuable resources, such as spirit stones, in preparation for following in Xiao Chong's footsteps.
For example, two bald, burly brothers from the deepest part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the Southern Wilderness are using some unknown secret technique to drive the wild beasts in the mountains toward Tiannan Town.
Winter nights are long. But even the longest nights will eventually pass.
Just as dawn broke, Xiao Chong summoned Fatty Yin Feng and the others, instructing them to gather all the miners and prepare to leave Tiannan Town.
Before leaving, Xiao Chong went to the town mayor's mansion to say goodbye to Hengshan.
Although he had already written to Yokoyama, he still wanted to remind Yokoyama in person to explain in detail the information he had obtained from the Star Soul Beast.
Yokoyama was in a good mood today. He greeted Xiao Chong with a smile and said, "Brother Xiao, you've come to my residence so early. Could it be that you want to discuss a grand plan to make a fortune together?"
Xiao Chong chuckled and said, "I've come to say goodbye to Brother Heng. I'll leave the Southern Wilderness immediately after I return."
Hengshan was taken aback and said with some surprise, "Didn't the wild beasts all retreat? Brother Xiao, are you leaving at this time to turn down money?"
Xiao Chong shook his head and said, "Who would turn down money? But it's all external possessions. No matter how much you earn, you have to be alive to spend it. What, didn't you read the letter I wrote to Brother Heng?"
"I've looked at it, but I still feel it's not that serious. You're making a mountain out of a molehill, brother." Yokoyama laughed and said, "How about we brothers join forces and make a killing, as a travel allowance for your journey?"
Xiao Chong frowned and said, "Brother Heng, you are very kind, but I always feel uneasy, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger."
Especially when I finally killed that Star Soul Beast, I vaguely sensed that the Star Soul Beast's connection with the outside world had been severed.
Therefore, I came here firstly to say goodbye to Brother Heng, and secondly to give him a special reminder: you must not let your guard down.
Seeing that Xiao Chong's mind was made up, Hengshan knew that there was no way to change his mind, so he had no choice but to give up. Just as he was about to exchange a few more polite words, he suddenly heard a piercing shriek coming from the sky. Looking up, he saw a three-colored firework banner rising in the direction of the south gate in the distance.
Upon seeing the fiery banner, Yokoyama's expression changed, and he could no longer laugh.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Chong's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "These fire flags are for warning purposes, right? Could it be that something has happened again in the south of the city?"
Yokoyama replied, "This firework banner was launched by Liu Yun. The fact that the three colors rose together indicates that the situation is extremely critical, but I don't know why. Could it be that another wild beast is attacking? I have to go and see."
After saying that, he turned and ran towards the south of the city.
After such an incident, Xiao Chong naturally couldn't ignore it and could only lament his bad luck.
"It's true what they say, good things often come with difficulties, and every day brings three surprises. Every time I'm about to leave this place of trouble, all sorts of unexpected events happen."
"I wonder if it's just bad luck this year, or if I've offended Tai Sui? No, I'll have to get that old rascal Ding Ling to do a divination when I get back."
Xiao Chong sighed inwardly for a moment, then caught up with Hengshan and said, "I'll go with Brother Heng, so we can look out for each other."
"Thank you for your concern, brother." Yokoyama's voice sounded somewhat heavy as he answered as he ran, without even turning his head.
The two sped off towards the south of the city, one after the other.
The closer they got to the south of the city, the uglier their expressions became, because they could faintly hear low roars of beasts in the wind, while large plumes of dust rose into the distant sky.
Once they reached the top of the city wall, the two men frowned deeply, gasped in shock, and stood there clicking their teeth incessantly.
The terrain outside the city was flat, with an extremely wide field of vision. The two had excellent eyesight, and at a glance, they could see that several miles away, there were all kinds of wild beasts, forming square formations and heading towards Tiannan Town.
As the beast horde advanced, first came a cacophony of different roars, unbearably grating and piercing the eardrums. Then the ground trembled slightly, and finally even the city walls shook, peeling plaster off in a rustling sound.
"Brother, this time I'll listen to you and run." Hengshan swallowed hard.
Xiao Chong's face turned ashen, and he replied in a deep voice, "It's too late. I'm afraid it's too late to escape now."
