Breaking the Origin

The black water arrow struck the tan plate armor, just like sewage splashed on glass; the armor remained undamaged, and the black water slid down the armor surface to the ground.

Although the soldiers had been told this was the outcome, they were still somewhat uneasy. They only felt relieved after seeing it with their own eyes.

Having withstood the "Yellow Sand Lizard's" attack unscathed, the team's morale soared once more.

A low-grade first-tier monster like the "Yellow Sand Lizard" is weak and can only unleash one "Rotting Water Arrow".

After their initial attack failed, these "yellow sand lizards" could only frantically dart around, trying to lure the hunting party away.

However, despite being surrounded by thirteen armored soldiers and six low-grade first-tier wolfhounds, the second wave of dozens of "Yellow Sand Lizards" still couldn't escape.

Xu Yunxin stood at a distance, listening to the system's repeated reminders about whether to absorb the source, and he was overjoyed.

In just a short while, he had already absorbed twenty-two white essences!

At this rate, his Druid level will soon be upgraded; it's just unknown what new changes the upgraded Druid system will bring.

I'm actually quite looking forward to it.

The "Yellow Sand Lizard" nest became quiet for a while after two waves of "Yellow Sand Lizards" rushed out.

Suddenly, a rapid rushing sound came from behind.

This is the yellow sand lizard that went out to find food at night and returned to help.

Xu Yunxin was prepared and dodged lightly.

The male "Yellow Sand Lizards," eager to return to their nest to rescue the queen, ran headlong into the armored soldiers who had already adjusted their formation and were waiting in full battle.

As these "yellow sand lizards" rushed closer, opening their mouths to spew out "rotten water arrows,"

The ground near the "Yellow Sand Lizard" nest suddenly shook, and the originally rough sand was stirred up by an invisible force, shooting everywhere like bullets!

"It's a sandblast bomb!"

"Damn it!"

"Protect your head and face!"

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"Woof~ woof woof~"

The soldiers and six wolfhounds were in excruciating pain from the flying sand and gravel, and their once orderly formation became somewhat scattered.

At the same time, the "Yellow Sand Lizards" that rushed back from outside opened their mouths and spewed out "Rotting Water Arrows," aiming at the enemies surrounding the nest.

Caught between two attacks, the garrison soldiers were struggling to cope. Several soldiers were about to be hit by the "Rotting Water Arrows" because their bodies were not covered by armor.

A streak of silver light, like a white dragon emerging from the water, flashed and shoved aside the soldiers, dodging the attack of the "Corrosive Water Arrow".

"good!"

Seeing Yue Yinping's exquisite spear technique, which helped the town's soldiers escape danger with the slightest movement, Xu Yunxin, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but shout his approval.

Before he could finish saying "good," a huge "yellow sand lizard," the size of a small calf, suddenly sprang out of the cave entrance that Yue Yinping had been guarding.

This "Yellow Sand Lizard" is covered with a thick, earth-colored shell, which is covered with small bumps. Combined with its large belly, it looks like a combination of a lizard and a toad.

Taking advantage of Yue Yinping's moment of attack, the "Yellow Sand Lizard" darted out of its nest and fled at a speed far exceeding its size!

"The mother lizard is out!"

Xu Yunxin drew his iron bow, nocked an arrow, and prepared to shoot at the mother lizard.

"Ugh!"

With a sudden, violent gust of wind, a silver spear struck first, piercing the female lizard's head with a "thud."

From Xu Yunxin's perspective, Yue Yinping was in mid-air, her spear reversed and stuck into the mother lizard's head. She was hanging in mid-air with the spear in her hand, her light veil on her face and the hem of her dress swaying in the wind, making her already slender and curvaceous figure even more dynamic. She was simply the epitome of cool!

"Oh~ what a bean~"

Xu Yunxin couldn't help but murmur to himself.

This is so beautiful and so amazing.

Although this female "Yellow Sand Lizard" is trash, it has at least advanced to the mid-grade of the first rank.

It had just unleashed a demonic spell and appeared for only a moment when Yue Yinping killed it with a single spear thrust.

No wonder Yue Yinping was able to keep the people in the town so well-behaved.

After the mother "Yellow Sand Lizard" was killed, the remaining dozen or so "Yellow Sand Lizards" immediately lost their will to fight and tried to run away on the spot.

The town's soldiers and six wolfhounds went all out to kill them, and Xu Yunxin also took the opportunity to use his silver arrows to harvest them. They finally managed to hunt down most of the "Yellow Sand Lizards" and only released two.

Xu Yunxin absorbed the essence of these "Yellow Sand Lizards" and also obtained sixteen white essences.

After taking down the first "Yellow Sand Lizard" nest, the group rested near the nest and used the storage talisman provided by Xu Yunxin to pack the hunted "Yellow Sand Lizards" whole, waiting to find the second "Yellow Sand Lizard" nest the next day.

The next morning, led by the wolfhound, the group found another "Yellow Sand Lizard" nest. With their previous experience, they followed the same method and captured the "Yellow Sand Lizard" nest that night.

Xu Yunxin also gained thirty-one Origin Essences, and his storage talismans were filled to the brim with three.

After three days and two nights of continuous hunting, everyone was a little tired, but seeing such a great harvest, they all wanted to try their best again.

Even without Xu Yunxin's suggestion, Yue Yinping advocated attacking another "Yellow Sand Lizard" nest, filling up the storage talismans they had brought before heading back home.

This time they weren't as lucky as the previous two times. The group searched for two days and one night, and ventured more than a hundred miles south before finally finding another "Yellow Sand Lizard" nest.

We are now close to the southern part of the "Thousand Lakes Wasteland". Beyond that are the mountains, forests and lakes on the southern outskirts. After passing through these mountains, forests and lakes, we will officially enter the territory of the barbarians.

Just in case, after destroying the "Yellow Sand Lizard" nest, the group didn't dare linger. They quickly packed up and headed towards Qingxi Town that very night.

It took five days and five nights to get there, and four days and three nights to get back. The round trip took quite a bit of time.

It's worth mentioning that on the way back, the group almost ran into a nest of "yellow-armored scorpions." If it weren't for the wolfhounds giving them a warning in advance, they probably would have had to fight another encounter.

Xu Yunxin secretly noted down this place, planning to come back and seek out these "Yellow Armored Violent Scorpions" again after advancing to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

After returning safely to Qingxi Town, Xu Yunxin handed the talisman over to Uncle Fu to handle, and then went to see his "Red Mushroom" without stopping.

The "red mushroom" has grown, but because it hasn't absorbed his spiritual energy these past few days, it doesn't look as vibrant as before.

Xu Yunxin quickly replenished the "red mushrooms" with spiritual energy and then picked the spores from under the caps of the "red mushrooms".

After he picked all 214 "red mushrooms" one by one, the Druid class also gained two experience points.

Then open the system.
