Chapter 3:
deep in the back mountain of the Lin family!
Lin Yun walked through the dense woods, searching for a suitable monster to attack.
Those who are too strong cannot be defeated, those who are too weak are not challenging, and those who are too fast cannot be caught up with.
After climbing over mountains and crossing rivers, he finally found a big one.
In the woods, a giant black bear was running towards Lin Yun. It had a huge body, a smooth, hairless back, and was as hard as iron.
Lin Yun recognized it. It was the Iron-backed Gray Bear. After reaching adulthood, it had the strength of the fifth level of body tempering. It was very durable and capable of fighting. Ordinary swords, spears, bows and knives could hardly break its defense.
Before taking action, Lin Yun tried to set up the task first.
[Mission: Kill the Iron-backed Gray Bear. Reward: Low-level Qiankun Bag, Constitution +1.]
"The reward is not bad."
Without waiting for Lin Yun to be happy.
"roar!"
The Iron-backed Gray Bear had already discovered him. It was not polite to this human who had trespassed into its territory. After a roar, it rushed towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun quickly mobilized the energy in his body and transferred the power to his fists.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
…
Lin Yun used the Tongbei Fist to confront the Iron-backed Grey Bear head-on. He delivered ten consecutive punches, and the Iron-backed Grey Bear weighing more than 500 pounds was knocked away.
There is a huge gap between the fifth and sixth levels of body tempering. With Yuanli, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.
The Iron-backed Gray Bear could not be a match for Lin Yun.
However, this guy was very tough. He was not dead even after taking a complete set of Tongbeiquan from Lin Yun. He got up and prepared to escape.
How could Lin Yun give him the chance and chase him to punch him again.
The rock-falling fist was so powerful that it shattered the iron-backed grey bear's internal organs.
[Mission: Kill the Iron-backed Gray Bear. Reward: Low-level Qiankun Bag, Physical Fitness +1. Completed, do you want to claim it?]
"receive!"
[Physique 8 (ordinary) - Physique 9 (ordinary)]
A white light flashed, and a palm-sized green cloth bag appeared in Lin Yun's hand. The cloth bag was shining with a faint silver-green luster, printed with special runes, and had a wonderful touch.
The space inside is quite spacious, about the size of a room.
Lin Yun put the Iron-backed Gray Bear into his Qiankun bag and continued hunting.
After searching in the forest for a while, Lin Yun hunted two wild boars. Unfortunately, neither of them was as powerful as the Iron-backed Gray Bear. He set up a killing mission, but was only rewarded with two Qi and Blood Pills, and no attribute rewards.
It was getting late and Lin Yun was ready to go home.
Fortunately, he had the Qiankun bag, so he could put the corpses of the monsters in it, saving a lot of effort. However, in order to conceal his identity, he still carried a wild boar on his back.
On the way back, Lin Yun reflected on today's battle.
"My boxing skills are strong enough, and my attack power is enough, but my speed is too slow. The more agile monsters can't catch up with me at all. It seems that I need to learn a martial art of body movement to increase my speed after I go back."
...…
As we got closer to the Lin family, we could see sporadic figures in the forest.
Most of these people are from the Lin family, searching for herbs in the forest.
The mountain behind the Lin family is connected to a vast forest. In addition to dangerous wild beasts and monsters, there are also opportunities, that is, magical medicines.
Spiritual medicine is very valuable. If you find a good quality spiritual medicine, you can not only use it for cultivation, but also sell it for a lot of money.
The nearby forests have been cleared by the Lin family hunting team, and there are generally no monsters. Therefore, many tribesmen like to come here to try their luck, making it quite lively here.
Lin Yun had been here before, but he had bad luck and had never encountered any spiritual medicine. Even this time when he went deep into the forest to hunt and killed a fifth-level body-tempering monster, he did not encounter even a single first-grade spiritual medicine.
"Hey, what a beautiful girl!" Lin Yun suddenly saw a butterfly-like figure flashing stunningly in the woods in front of him.
"It seems to be that little Lolita Qingtan!"
Lin Yun recognized Qingtan, but he was not familiar with him before and had only seen him among the clan.
Qingtan is Lin Dong's sister. She is the adopted daughter of Lin Dong's mother and is not of the Lin family bloodline.
In the original novel, Qingtan loves Lin Dong, but it's a pity that Lin Dong, whether he really doesn't know or pretends not to know, actually treats Qingtan as his own sister. He is so ungrateful! He doesn't know what's good for him! What a waste! Shameful!
How can such a cute little girl be left alone for the rest of her life?
Lin Yun sped up slightly and soon saw the other person. It was indeed Qingtan, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old and very young.
She was wearing a simple light-colored dress. Her skin was as white as snow, her face was delicate, her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes were lively, and her big black eyes flickered. She looked like a little girl picking mushrooms, searching around in the woods. She looked extremely cute.
Lin Yun followed her slowly, not in a hurry to go home.
It is still very dangerous for the little girl to be alone in the forest. Although this place is close to the Lin family and generally no monsters come here, what if something happens?
"Wow, this is red sun grass!"
Suddenly, Qingtan seemed to have found some treasure and made a sound of surprise.
Lin Yun looked over and saw that the little girl's white and tender hands were covered with a lot of mud, and she was holding a fiery red plant.
"First-grade spiritual medicine, Red Sun Grass." Lin Yun recognized the spiritual medicine and sighed slightly, "As expected of the protagonist's sister, what luck."
However, it was only a first-grade elixir, and it was not very tempting to Lin Yun, who had already tempered his body to the sixth level.
After harvesting the elixir, Qingtan immediately prepared to go home. She wanted to quickly deliver the elixir to her brother Lin Dong.
Lin Dong has been practicing martial arts diligently recently. Qingtan has seen it and has always wanted to help his brother, so he has been going to the back mountain frequently to look for elixirs.
The happy little girl, holding the red sun grass, skipped back home.
Lin Yun followed behind her and didn't notice it either. After a while, they reached the intersection on the way home. A chubby little boy came out, followed Qingtan with a smile, and communicated with Qingtan in a flattering manner.
Lin Yun recognized that the guy was called Lin Changqiang, and that he was Qingtan's follower and liked Qingtan.
Qingtan is as delicate as a piece of jade, lively and cute. Not only the Lin family, but also many people in the whole Qingyang Town like her.
If she wasn't still young, all the men proposing marriage would have been able to step foot in Lin Dong's house.
As the two were walking, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them and stopped them.
Lin Yun recognized the group of people. The leader was called Lin Shan, the second son of Lin Mang, the second branch of the Lin family. This guy was at odds with Lin Dong and had bullied him many times. Now that he met Qing Tan, he was probably ready to bully him.
Qingtan and Lin Changqiang's faces suddenly turned ugly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Changqiang ran away in advance.
A little girl named Qingtan was left behind to face Linshan and his group of people.
Lin Shan and others' target was not Lin Changqiang, so they did not chase him, but surrounded Qingtan instead.
Several strong young men blocked the intersection and surrounded Qingtan in the middle.
"Hey, isn't this the Red Sun Grass? Qingtan, you picked it for me." Lin Shan stared at the Red Sun Grass in Qingtan's hand with a contemptuous look.
"What do you mean I'll help you pick it? Go away, this is mine."
Qingtan scolded and held the Chiyang grass in his arms, not caring about the dirt on the grass getting his clothes dirty.
"Let me guess, you want to take the Red Sun Grass to that guy Lin Dong. It would be a waste to use that loser. Just give it to me." Lin Shan said with a smirk.
"Lin Shan, don't go too far." Qing Tan said angrily.
Lin Shan was not in a hurry. He crossed his arms and looked at the angry Qingtan unscrupulously. He laughed and said,
"We found this Red Sun Grass yesterday and were just waiting to get it today. You took our things and you still say I am being too much?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Qingtan said angrily, her little face turning red with anger.
Lin Shan showed no mercy to Qingtan. Seeing Qingtan getting angry and looking fierce, he was even happier. "I'm serious, Qingtan. If you give me the Red Sun Grass, I will let you go."
"Don't even think about it!" Qingtan gritted his teeth and hugged the Chiyang grass tightly.
"In that case, it seems you'll have no choice but to camp here today." Lin Shan chuckled, glanced at Qingtan, and said, "Lin Changqiang seemed to have run away just now. He must have gone to find Lin Dong, right? Well, I didn't get enough of the fight last time."
"You...bastard." Qingtan suddenly became a little anxious.
Lin Shan took a step forward and threatened in a low voice, "You don't want your brother Lin Dong to get beaten, do you?"
Thinking of how Lin Dong was beaten unconscious by Lin Shan, Qing Tan felt a surge of fear and cried,
"No!"
Qingtan looked weak, helpless and pitiful at this moment. His big black eyes were sparkling and little tears were rolling around in his eye sockets, but he was trying hard not to let them fall.
That look is heartbreaking.
There were people around who saw this scene, but unfortunately no one stood up for Qingtan. Lin Shan's father was now in charge of the Lin family's finances, and no one dared to offend him, which led to Lin Shan becoming a well-known bully among the younger generation.
Lin Yun couldn't bear it anymore.
How can you bear to let such a cute little girl be bullied?
He might not have dared to offend Lin Shan in the past, but now that he has the upper hand, there is nothing for him to be afraid of.
"System, create a task."
[Task: Teach Lin Shan a lesson and help Qing Tan out of trouble. Reward: A pair of golden silkworm boxing gloves.]
"Give me the Red Sun Grass and I won't beat him. How about that?"
"Give it to me or not? If you don't, I'm afraid Lin Dong will be beaten."
Just as Lin Yun walked over, Lin Shan was still threatening Qingtan in a mean way.
Qingtan seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
She was reluctant to give the spiritual medicine to Lin Shan, but she also didn't want to see Brother Lin Dong being bullied.
At this moment, she wished someone could come to help her, stand up for her, and teach Lin Shan a lesson.
"call!"
At this time, a black shadow flew over, and a wild boar weighing several hundred pounds smashed towards Lin Shan.
Lin Shan was directly knocked away, and the heavy pig body pressed on him.
The people surrounding Qingtan were suddenly startled and turned to look in the direction where the wild boar was flying.
Qingtan also froze her tearful look, and looked at Lin Yun who was walking towards her with her bright big eyes. She was slightly stunned for a moment, and then a look of hope appeared on her face.
Someone really came to help her.
"Lin Yun!"
Lin Shan's lackeys were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Lin Yun would dare to hurt Lin Shan.
He is an orphan and has no support in the Lin family. How dare he offend Lin Shan? Isn't he afraid of revenge?
Behind Lin Shan are his brother Lin Hong and his father Lin Mang, neither of whom Lin Yun can afford to offend.
However, they knew that Lin Yun had been practicing hard and had already reached the fifth level of body tempering, so they did not dare to act rashly.
"Ahem, Lin Yun, you damn orphan, are you looking for death? How dare you hurt me?"
Lin Shan moved the wild boar off his body and pointed at Lin Yun and cursed him angrily.
"Go ahead and beat him." Lin Shan directly ordered his lackeys.
So what if he is at the fifth level of Body Tempering? They are all at the third and fourth level of Body Tempering. If many people attack together, they will outnumber the few and there is no need to worry about losing.
As long as you don't reach the sixth level of body tempering and don't have energy seeds, the difference in strength won't be too big.
Besides, Lin Shan is angry now and doesn't care about anything else.
How could he tolerate an orphan beating him?
