Chapter 109: Training 2

Time passed and before they knew it, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu had been at Black Turtle Mountain for twenty days.

On this day, Shen Xu pushed through a thicket and suddenly stopped.

"What’s wrong?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"Three trees of level two purple-red elderberries." Shen Xu stated.

Shen Xu knew about purple-red elderberries from his alchemy inheritance.

According to the inheritance, elderberries could be used in a variety of recuperative pills. Additionally, on Earth, elderberries could be used to make wines, jams, tea, pies, and other foods.

Thinking of the numerous uses, Shen Xu couldn’t wait to get the elderberries.

However, he was no longer the rookie who first entered Black Turtle Mountain.

After twenty days of training, he knew that spiritual things in a monster mountain usually had owners.

Knowing this, the double didn’t rush to grab the elderberries.

Instead, he searched the surroundings and his gaze finally stopped on a tall tree.

’Level two, iron-beaked, redstart warbler.’ Shen Xu observed, his eyes narrowed into slits.

Without delay, a hammer appeared in hand.

The hammer had a one metre handle and a cylindrical head of about the same length.

At a glance, the hammer was black but if one looked closer, they would see red runes randomly scattered all over the hammerhead.

At the same time, they would notice barely visible red lines running from the hammer handle to the red runes.

This hammer was the weapon Shen Xu refined using the vajra black iron and other materials.

After climbing three quarters of the mountain, this was the first Shen Xu released the hammer and Zhen Yuan couldn’t help but look forward to it.

’The warbler is a late-stage level two monster. It’s a good match for Xiaoxu.’ He thought.

While secretly watching the warbler, Shen Xu moved towards the purple-red elderberries.

As expected, the iron-beaked redstart warbler didn’t stay still.

However, Shen Xu was prepared.

When he saw the warbler swooping in, he mobilised his qi, raised his hammer, and smashed towards the opponent.

"First turn." He shouted,

Shen Xu’s hammer technique was called the Unrivalled Dissonant hammer art.

Like the ten flames palm art, Shen Xu found the hammer art in the space library. Similarly, it was perfectly tailored for him and he liked it from the moment he saw it.

At this time, the hammer blurred and hit the warbler.

With its innate speed, the warbler could avoid the hammer.

However, it soon discovered that one move contained three hits.

Although it avoided the first hit, it couldn’t escape the remaining two.

Most importantly, when the hammer hit, a flame qi stained its body and its feathers caught fire.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan helplessly shook his head.

’It’s a good hammer technique but...’ Zhen Yuan looked at Shen Xu and smiled.

After using the move, the double turned pale and his body trembled from weakness.

"It consumes too much qi." Zhen Yuan muttered, walking over to catch his wife.

"Brother Yuan..."

"It’s dead." Zhen Yuan informed and Shen Xu smiled before losing consciousness.

"Xiaoxu didn’t need to use the fire inscriptions to defeat the warbler." Zhen Yuan sighed and continued.

"Once he can properly control the hammer and hammer art, he will almost be invincible in the same realm."

With such a thought, Zhen Yuan fed Shen Xu some spiritual water and then laid him under a tree.

While Shen Xu was unconscious, Zhen Yuan collected the warbler corpse and purple-red elderberries before transplanting one tree into the space.

After that, he carried Shen Xu to another area, pitched a tent, and prepared to rest for the night.

Ten days later, the two encountered a herd of two-humped bison.

At a glance, the herd had forty-three bison and the leader was a late-stage level two monster.

Excluding the leader, the herd had three level two monsters while the remaining were level one monsters.

"Do you need help?" Zhen Yuan asked but Shen Xu shook his head.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan didn’t insist.

Instead, he jumped onto a high tree and prepared to watch the fight.

After Zhen Yuan retreated, Shen Xu unleashed his hammer.

’In ordinary fight, I should first kill the king to defeat the masses. However, I am training and don’t need to lessen the difficulty of my training.’ Shen Xu thought and immediately smashed his hammer towards the nearest bison.

This time, he didn’t use the hammer technique.

Instead, he used brute force to quickly deal with the level one bison.

This way, he would reserve enough energy and qi to deal with the level-two monsters.

However, while dealing with the level one beast, Shen Xu didn’t ignore the level two bison.

Rather, he carefully watched using his spiritual sense and reacted quickly when they made a move.

In no time, half the level one bison were dead and the level two bison couldn’t help but be dissatisfied.

As Shen Xu dealt with a level one opponent, a level two bison rushed towards him, raised its leg, and prepared to hit him with its hoof.

However, Shen Xu didn’t panic.

Without hesitation, he kicked his level one opponent towards the raised hoof, dodged to the side, and attacked the level two bison at its flanks.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan nodded in approval.

"Good reaction." He muttered.

After that, Shen Xu didn’t give the level-two bison a chance to recover.

In a series of moves, he hammered the bison and directly killed it.

Three hours later, Shen Xu smiled while breathing heavily.

"I did it." He said and then laughed.

"You did it." Zhen Yuan jumped down and embraced the double.

"Brother Yuan, we won’t run out of meat for a long time."

"Yes. We can’t eat barbecue whenever we want."

Hearing this, Shen Xu chuckled and drilled into his husband’s arms.

"I am tired." He said.

"I will find a place to pitch our tent. You can rest first."

"Mmmm." Shen Xu lazily nodded, allowing Zhen Yuan to carry him.

’We will reach the top tomorrow.’ He thought.
