Chapter 106: Half Man, Half Beast
Time flies, more than a year in a blink of an eye.

Whoosh!
In the dense jungle, a black shadow flashed past, and then stopped suddenly on the top of a big tree.The black shadow is none other than Wang Ming.

Old clothes, messy hair, and stubble like steel needles. Compared to a year ago, Wang Ming was much more sloppy. He was only in his early twenties, but he looked like a greasy middle-aged uncle.

But after all, it is a border wilderness with limited conditions. After staying there for more than a year, this is already considered a good thing.

"forty thousand!"

Just now, the exploration value balance was exactly 4.

Before entering the border, the system had just been updated, and the exploration value was only [-].After entering the wilderness, the exploration value begins to slowly and continuously increase.

Later, he found Fei Yuzong and learned the Wings of Garuda. Wang Ming's speed increased several times, and the speed of the increase in exploration value also increased accordingly.

After a year like this, a total of more than 1 exploration points have been accumulated, plus the reward for discovering the ruins of the sect, and only 4 exploration points have been accumulated.

"almost."

Standing on the top of a tree tens of meters high, he clicked on the small map to check the area he had passed through this year. Wang Ming couldn't help but secretly nodded.

The so-called border refers to the middle area between the old and new boundaries of Zhonghui State, with an area almost twice that of Zhonghui State today.The border area is too vast, and Wang Ming has only explored a small part of it in this year.

He did not explore along the border, but continued to push outward. According to the small map, he is now located on the outer edge of the border, close to the border of the Zhonghui country 20 years ago.

In addition, a total of more than 30 sect ruins were found in the areas explored this year!
Some of the sects close to the inside were destroyed by monsters, and some just moved to the central area.Because there is a certain buffer time, I took away the martial arts classics and resources in advance, and there was no good stuff left.

Until the last three or four months, gradually approaching the border of the old domain, these sects were wiped out at the beginning of the beast tide, and there was no time to evacuate, leaving behind a large number of classics.

Even for some sects, the arsenal is hard or has a special structure, and Wang Ming cannot open it.After exploring so many sects, it can be said that the harvest is huge!

Explore, practice, and fuse skills.Looking at Wang Ming's personal page at this time, there has been a huge change again.

【Wang Ming】

辅助技能：鉴定术5级、潜行术5级、采集术5级、炼药术5级、探查术5级、解析术5级

战斗技能：不动明王印（5级）、迦楼罗之翼（6级）、百变千幻十三式（5级）、破山拳（5级）、驭火术（5级）、神魔化身（7级）
Among them, Mountain Breaking Fist, Fire Control Technique, and Incarnation of Gods and Demons remain unchanged, while Garuda Wings are learned directly from martial arts.The defensive martial arts Fudo Mingou Seal and the thirteen sword techniques are all fused from low-level martial arts.

In the current list of combat skills, the lowest level is already level 5, which is equivalent to low-grade and middle-grade martial arts in the earth boundary.With these martial arts by his side, Wang Ming's combat strength more than doubled.

"Five floors."

Not only that, during this year, Wang Ming did not neglect his cultivation.Although the available time is limited, it is already the 5th floor of the Martial Soul Realm, and the 6th floor is not far away.

As for the cultivation of the physical body, although he has swallowed a large amount of demonic beast essence and blood this year, he still has not been able to break through the ten refinements.

It has to be said that the last exercise in the physical state was indeed extremely difficult.However, Wang Ming had a premonition that he was not far away from breaking through.

"This way."

After checking the mini-map, Wang Ming re-orientated and set off again.With the improvement of Martial Soul Realm, the amount of true energy has increased, the wings under the ribs are already two feet long, and the speed has also increased a lot.

According to the small map, Wang Ming was about to reach the old border of Zhonghui Country.There are still a large number of sects that have not been found, so he is not willing to leave like this.

The farther out the sect was, the sooner it was impacted by the beast tide 20 years ago, and it was too late to transfer martial arts and other cultivation resources.So these ruins are often worth more!
According to the small map, Wang Ming explored along the periphery. His main targets were these sects that were destroyed in an instant.

"Supernatural power realm monster..."

At the same time, as they gradually approached the periphery, Wang Ming clearly felt that the number of monsters was getting denser and their levels were getting higher and higher!
The magical beasts in the supernatural power realm, which were rarely seen before, can now be encountered every few days.

Fortunately, most of them are only equivalent to the first or second level of supernatural powers, and they still can't see through Wang Ming's level 5 stealth.

But what made Wang Ming even more puzzled was that with so many monsters, and there were many high-level monsters, he hadn't even encountered a single monster territory or lair in a whole year!

These monsters are always moving, as if they are patrolling.But what is there to patrol in this wilderness, and what is their purpose.

The most important thing is, what forces drive so many monsters to have the same movement?
Wang Ming felt more and more uneasy, there must be some secret hidden in it.But so far, he has not found any clues, so he has no way to investigate.

That being the case, Wang Ming didn't think too much, and continued to search the ruins of the sect.

Roar!
"Go back!"

Walking through the jungle, I suddenly heard the roar of monsters and the shouts of humans.

"..."

Wang Ming stopped suddenly, and listened carefully. There was more than one person, who seemed to be fighting with monsters.Frowning slightly, he turned around and ran towards the source of the sound.

But a few hundred meters away, Wang Ming was hiding in the crown of a big tree. When he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

I saw a bear-type monster, which was seven or eight meters tall, waving its huge bear paws, and roaring angrily from time to time.

Around the giant bear, there were five human races fighting around it.But after seeing the appearance of these five human races clearly, Wang Ming's expression changed slightly in an instant.

The body shape of the human race is either covered with fur and horns, or with fangs and sharp claws, which are clearly the characteristics of a beast!

Wang Ming carefully identified that it is not a decoration, but actually grows on the body!

"Orcs?"

Wang Ming was startled. Could these half-human, half-beasts be some kind of demi-human?

"Identify!"

Puzzled in his heart, Wang Ming directly threw a few appraisal techniques over.

"..."

There was no response from the system, and Wang Ming frowned again.Intelligent creatures cannot obtain information through identification.In other words, they are not beasts.

[Giant bear with collar removed: Infinite strength, strong physique, strong teeth, sharp claws, extremely threatening.The speed is slightly lacking, which is equivalent to the eighth refinement of the physical body of the human race. 】

It was the monster beast that identified clear information.

boom!
Just as Wang Ming was thinking, with a muffled sound, a man covered in animal hair couldn't dodge, was rubbed by a huge bear's paw, and instantly flew backwards.

Then there was another muffled sound, and it hit the ground heavily, motionless.

"……This is!"

These five people are obviously no match for the Giant Bear, and they will lose sooner or later.But what surprised Wang Ming again was that the hair on the person who was knocked unconscious quickly faded, and he was clearly a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old!

"spark!"

Not only that, Wang Ming saw at a glance that there was an iron plate hanging around the boy's neck, which was the symbol of Xinghuo!
"Run! Take Xiaodouzi and run!"

Seeing that his companion was injured, a slightly taller man with two horns rushed towards the giant bear head-on while shouting to others.

Roar!
Seeing the man rushing towards him, the giant bear roared and rushed towards him. At the same time, he raised his paw high and slapped it hard.

"It's over..."

At this moment, the horned man's heart was filled with ashes, and he couldn't stop it at all.
