Chapter 25 - Land of Resentment

At midnight, Lin Changqing woke up on time. He got out of bed, took out the spatial bag, and used the broken net that had recovered its ability to capture. He was looking forward to what kind of surprise the spatial bag that had turned into a pet would bring him.

Unfortunately, the capture this time had failed!

Lin Changqing was not discouraged. He planned to capture the spatial bag once a day until he succeeded.

Now, he had no better target to capture than the spatial bag.

————————-

Lin Changqing changed into a set of dark clothes that he had specially bought today. He took Shuling and a spatial bag. His wrist was wrapped in [Thorn Vine], and he had the [Short Knife] on his waist. He held the [Bamboo Staff] in his hand and called Little Tiger and Little Green in the courtyard. He quietly climbed over the courtyard wall and left the courtyard.

After midnight, those who were monitoring Lin Changqing in the dark left. At night in this world, even in the city, ordinary people did not dare to walk around casually.

The night was dark and the wind was strong. Lin Changqing relied on his powerful perception to pass through the darkness of the alley without any obstacles. He brought Little Tiger and Little Green to the depths of the alley where he had dumped the "corpses" and killed people.

He had heard the name Land of Resentment from Cheng Lihu. Just from the name, he knew that this was not a good place.

During Lin Changqing's time in the White Tiger Hall, he had asked the members of the White Tiger Hall. They only knew that they could not go to the Land of Resentment at night. It was a terrifying place.

Ordinary members of the White Tiger Hall did not know about the other matters, and Lin Changqing was afraid of Cheng Lihu and did not dare to ask him about the Land of Resentment.

In order to escape, Lin Changqing had once taken the risk to come at midnight. Now that he had Shuling, he was even bolder.

Lin Changqing crossed an invisible boundary, and an ominous aura immediately filled the world. This aura was much stronger than during the day.

Little Tiger and Little Green immediately became alert and entered battle mode. Other than Shuling, Lin Changqing's other pets became active and entered a battle state. Pets could increase their strength when fighting, so Lin Changqing's pets liked to fight.

"Shuling, is there anyone else around?" Lin Changqing finally confirmed the situation with Shuling.

"Master, no humans are paying attention to this place. There are only some strange creatures that have lost their minds. There seems to be an array here. Something is trapped in the array." Shuling replied through consciousness communication.

"An array? So there really is such a thing. If we hunt those strange creatures here, will we draw out something undefeatable?"

"There are certain dangers here, but with the strength of Master and your companions, as long as you're careful, there won't be a problem. I'll pay attention to the surroundings at all times. If there's danger, I'll warn you!"

"Alright, but you don't have to do anything unless it's absolutely necessary."

After Lin Changqing communicated with Shuling, he gently threw Little Bamboo in his hand. Little Bamboo floated on its own, and it would participate in the next battle.

Lin Changqing pulled out his pet [Short Knife]. The [Thorn Vine] on his wrist came off, and like a child returning home, it happily burrowed into the ground.

Little Green led the way in front, while Little Tiger brought up the rear. Lin Changqing held the [Short Knife] and stayed in the middle, Little Bamboo followed on Lin Changqing's left, while Viney stood on Lin Changqing's right.

Lin Changqing led his pets from the path he had taken during the day to the depths of the Land of Resentment. In the darkness, pairs of terrifying eyes stared at Lin Changqing and the others. Lin Changqing could sense countless terrifying killing intent locked onto them.

Lin Changqing only walked a dozen meters before he didn't dare to walk anymore.

A large number of mutated creatures gathered around. Although these mutated creatures did not have intelligence, they instinctively hoped that Lin Changqing and the others would continue walking in, so they did not take the initiative to attack.

Lin Changqing let the [Thorn Vine] attack first. The surrounding resentment aura could replenish the spiritual energy of the [Thorn Vine], making it not afraid of energy consumption.

He saw it use the talent, [High Speed Regeneration], in the soil. A large number of thick vines covered in thorns crawled out of the ground and set up a thorny vine array around Lin Changqing and his pets.

A few thorny vines stretched into the darkness at high speed like the tentacles of an octopus. They swept up a few ferocious and cruel ghost-faced cats and dragged them towards Lin Changqing and his pets. They were very ferocious and powerful.

When the surrounding ghost-faced cats saw their own kind being attacked, they immediately pounced at Lin Changqing and the others.

A large number of tough thorny vines grew at high speed, instantly forming a cage that enveloped Lin Changqing and his pets. The ghost-faced cats dragged by the thorny vines could not break free from the vines for a moment and were dragged into the cage.

It was as if this was Viney's home ground. With the support of a large amount of resentment aura, it could unleash a powerful strength with the strength of the beginner stage of the Force Refinement Realm.

Groups of ghost-faced cats pounced over, but they were all blocked by the tough thorny vines that kept regenerating at high speed. The ghost-faced cats that were dragged into the thorny vine cage were greeted with slashes, staff strikes, and bites.

Lin Changqing's saber technique had already been cultivated to perfection. With a slash, it was as exquisite as an antelope hanging on a horn, easily cutting off the ghost-faced cat's neck.

The [Bamboo Staff] was as fast as lightning as it flew in the air. Every strike of the staff would hit its target. With its intermediate Force Refinement Realm strength, every strike of the staff could make the ghost-faced cat dizzy. A few strikes of the staff would shatter its head.

With the strength of an intermediate Force Refinement Realm cultivator, Little Tiger's actual combat strength was comparable to a ghost-faced cat that could threaten a martial artist in the Strength Refinement Realm. With the help of [Thorn Vine], it bit off the neck of a ghost-faced cat with a few pounces.

Little Green was the strongest. It was holding the line and did not participate in the attack.

The few ghost-faced cats were quickly killed by Lin Changqing and his pets.

At this moment, some ghost-faced cats used their sharp teeth and claws to finally break through the cage formed by the thorny vines and crawl to Lin Changqing and his pets. A continuous battle began.

Little Green, an advanced Strength Refinement Realm wolfhound, joined the battle and quickly killed more and more ghost-faced cats, relieving the pressure on Lin Changqing, Little Bamboo, and Little Tiger.

As the ghost-faced cats continued to die, Lin Changqing and his pets clearly felt that the magical energy coming from the broken net was increasing, rapidly increasing their strength.

This speed of improvement was completely incomparable to cultivation. Even cultivating the [Myriad Spirit Technique] could not compare to it.

The weakest [Thorn Vine] and the [Short Knife] in Lin Changqing's hands quickly increased their strength to the Intermediate Strength Refinement Realm.

[Thorn Vine] quickly regenerated more thorny vines and became stronger.

The thorny vine cage was even more tenacious and firm. Its field control ability had greatly improved, greatly reducing the battle pressure on Lin Changqing and the other pets.

In Lin Changqing's hands, the short knife became even sharper and more terrifying.

This made Lin Changqing's saber technique even sharper and stronger. With every slash, a ghost-faced cat would fall to the ground, and the chances of making a mistake were greatly reduced.
