Six days later, Zuo Ye and the little black dog emerged from the cave. At this time, both Zuo Ye and the little black dog had their strength greatly increased. However, they both knew that they were still far from being a match for a Saint level expert.
So as soon as he got out of the cave, Zuo Ye ran deeper into the forest. Yes, heading deeper into the forest. This was because Zuo Ye knew how precious the Twin Thunderbolt Saint Fruits were, even if they were Saint level experts, they wouldn't give up so easily. Zuo Ye believed that both Lei Zhan and the other two Saint Rulers would track down the location of the Twin Thunderous Holy Fruits once they got rid of each other. It was normal for some people to be sent over to this area to investigate.
In order to be safe, Zuo Ye decided to enter the forest to temporarily hide from the wind. It was best if he could use another place to exit the forest. At the very least, he would have to stay in the forest for another ten to fifteen days before he could leave.
Since he had already been in the forest for such a long time, Zuo Ye didn't mind spending more time with him. As for the little black dog, it was better for its development in the forest.
Of course, Zuo Ye didn't know that the Confusion Forest he was in was an incomparably huge place, the third of the ten most dangerous places on the continent. Of course, Zuo Ye didn't know that the Confusion Forest he was in was a very large place, the third of the ten most dangerous places on the continent.
Relying on the huge increase in his strength, Zuo Ye and the little black dog went deep into the mountains. Along the way, they met quite a few magical beasts: first the level one or two water rabbits, then the turkey, then the third or fourth level Wind Sheep, the Greenwood Wolf, the porcupine, the gold leopard, and the black bear. These magical beasts were all incomparably powerful existences. Although Zuo Ye was at the seventh level of strength, and the little black dog was at the sixth level of strength, but he had no choice but to carefully deal with them — one time, Zuo Ye and the little black dog encountered a dozen or so level 5 Whirlwind Wolves brought by a level 6 Wind Head Wolf, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle. Although in the end, Zuo Ye and the little black dog ended up fleeing with six corpses behind them, but Zuo Ye and the little black dog were heavily injured. Another time, the small black dog was chasing a level three Wind Sheep when a grey earth hunter appeared from the ground and scratched the small black dog's retreat. In the end, Zuo Ye immediately killed the earth hunter, but the small black dog was still limping for the next few days. Once, they encountered a level six flying horse. After Zuo Ye displayed his level seven strength, the other side immediately soared into the sky and left. Zuo Ye and the little black dog could only helplessly wait.
Arriving at the place where magical beasts of the fifth or sixth ranks roamed about, they could already be considered the middle level of the bewildering forest. This was a place where very few people would come to.
At this point, Zuo Ye had no choice but to deal with it carefully and didn't dare to go any further. If he went any further and encountered a magical beast of the eighth step or a social magical beast of the seventh step, he wasn't sure if he would be able to survive.
It was here that Zuo Ye began to bring the little black dog to wander around, using the magical beasts to train his and the little black dog's fighting strength.
After all, actual combat was the best way to increase one's combat prowess and accumulate battle experience. The practice also proved that Zuo Ye's choice was right: after fighting for a period of time and escaping with his life, both Zuo Ye and Little Black Dog were able to increase their fighting strength by leaps and bounds. Zuo Ye learned how to shoot lightning balls, and extended them to water balls and fireballs. He also learned how to increase his speed with the power of lightning. The little black dog's progress was even greater than Zuo Ye's. Not only was it familiar with the basic application of lightning in combat, but it had also figured out the way to use lightning on the surface of his body. Zuo Ye was amazed by the little black dog's talent in lightning power; of course, the little black dog's fighting strength had also reached the standard of a magical beast of the sixth rank, far surpassing the average adult Dark Overlord Mastiff.
Today, Zuo Ye and the little black dog walked into the territory of a pine lion. When the pine lion on patrol saw the two outsiders, it rushed towards Zuo Ye and the little black dog without any hesitation.
Seeing that there was a fight to be had, the extremely belligerent little black dog immediately dashed out from behind Zuo Ye, pouncing towards the pine lion.
One was a genuine magical beast of the sixth rank, the other was a little black dog with astonishing talent in lightning. As soon as they came into contact, the little black dog spat out a black ball of lightning, and the Pine Lion managed to deflect it with a dry wooden arrow. Then the little black dog and Pine Lion engaged in a hand-to-hand melee — Pine Lion was slightly faster with the support of the lightning, and Pine was better than the little black dog in magic alone. Pine Lion was much stronger than Pine Lion, and Pine Lion and Mastiff both had their strengths.
After fighting for a while, the little black dog was completely unharmed, while the pine lion was completely black. It had been electrocuted into a black lion by the little black dog's electric ball.
Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, Matriarch He turned around and ran up the mountain. The little black dog hurriedly used an electric ball to attack, but the lion was determined, so he took the blow and fled into the forest.
Zuo Ye had not made a move all along. He shook his golden spear, and a golden bolt of lightning struck the fleeing pines. Although Zuo Ye had already reached the cultivation level of a seventh rank warrior, his lightning strikes were quite powerful, and were not something that the magical beast of the sixth rank, Song Shi, could withstand. More importantly, with the support of his golden spear, the power of his lightning strikes was comparable to that of a eighth rank Demon Warrior, as well as a little numbing effect.
After taking a blow from Zuo Ye, the Pine Lion immediately slowed down. Taking advantage of the momentum, Zuo Ye rushed forward and stabbed his golden spear straight into the head of the pines. The paralyzed Pine Lion only had time to move its head away before the golden spear stabbed into its front leg.
”Roar!” The Pine Lion that was heavily injured once again roared out, but it immediately stopped as the small black dog that had pounced on it had already grabbed it by the neck and interrupted its screams.
Zuo Ye raised his gun again. This time, it easily pierced the head of the pine lion and the lion didn't react.
”Awoo!” Seeing that Zuo Ye had killed the lion, the little black dog cried out in dissatisfaction, indicating that it could kill the lion by itself.
”Ha ha!” Zuo Ye patted the little black dog on the head and said, ”Okay. It's time for us to leave this place. ”
Then Zuo Ye took out his dagger and cut off the head of the lion, but the magical crystal had already been shattered by Zuo Ye's spear.
Zuo Ye could only put away his dagger bitterly and leave the forest with the little black dog. This was just the outskirts of the forest; it was a place where low-level magical beasts roamed. Rank 4 and 5 magical beasts were basically tyrants here.
Zuo Ye was walking with the little black dog in the periphery of the forest. Outside, Zuo Ye was no longer nervous like when he was in the middle of the forest.
But there is an exception to everything. In the distance, Zuo Ye could see a level six flying horse circling in the sky. However, he could also see a young man wearing white clothes sitting on the back of the flying horse. The man had a transparent layer of white Dou Qi on his body; the flying horse was circling in the air, occasionally attacking the ground with wind blades, while the cavalrymen on the back of the horse were also attacking the ground from time to time. It was obvious that there were people on the ground that could contend against the Flying Horse and the Flying Horse Knight.
Zuo Ye hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still decided to go up and take a look.
