This towering rainforest was named the "Driving Heavens Forest". In its deepest depths was the Driving Heavens Beast King, a powerful Fey beast that surpassed the Earth Fey level.
Under the protection of the Driving Heavens Beast King, the Fey beasts in the Driving Heavens Forest were stronger. However, if they were only hunting ordinary Earth Fey in the outermost area, the Driving Heavens Beast King would not interfere.
When they reached the outskirts of the Driving Heavens Forest, Jiang Rong and the other Jiang clan members stopped.
"Next, you will each head into the Driving Heavens Forest to hunt Earth Fey. There's no need to explain the rules of the Demon-Slaying Training. The number of points awarded depends on the level of Earth Fey you kill.
Finally, the Five Prefectures will be ranked according to your scores. "As Jiang Rong spoke, he looked over at Jiang Yuening and Kang Shin-mu. No matter what, Jiang Rong was a director of the Grand Prince Palace. He did not want to see the Grand Prince Palace be surpassed by the other four palaces.
However, this Demon-Slaying Training would be very difficult. No matter how one looked at it, they knew that Jiang Liuxue, who represented the Jiang clan's Northern Prefecture, was the strongest.
The Demon-Slaying Training's points would most likely be the Northern Prefecture's.
"There are two things that must be emphasized."
Jiang Rong looked around and continued, "First, do not go a hundred miles into the Driving Heavens Forest, or you will attract the attention of the Driving Heavens Beast King. It will be extremely dangerous.
Second, the Jiang clan members must not kill each other. Those who violate the rules will be punished according to the Jiang clan's commandments! "
These two points were iron-clad rules that everyone had to abide by. No one could violate them, or else the Jiang clan's commandments were not to be trifled with.
After emphasizing these points, the Demon-Slaying Training officially began.
After Jiang Rong gave the order, the youths who were participating in this demon-slaying trial rushed into the Heavendrive Forest one after another. Each of them formed a small team of four or five people. There were also powerhouses who had obtained the True Dragon's inheritance who advanced alone.
There were more than a hundred people, and they quickly disappeared into the dense, towering rainforest!
The twenty people from the Grand Prince's Mansion also split up into five groups. Other than Jiang Yuening and Jiang Shenwu, the remaining eighteen people were split into four groups and each of them ran into the Heavenward Thicket.
Jiang Yuening and Kang Shin-mu weren't in a hurry. They followed behind the others leisurely and saw where the other teams were heading.
Of course, this was only the initial direction. It was very likely that they would have to change directions later on. That would have to wait for the future.
"You will follow me. If we encounter any Earth Yao, don't attack first. Just let me attack first. You will be responsible for patrolling the surroundings while I am fighting, to prevent any sneak attacks from other Earth Yao."
Jiang Yuening said to Jiang Shenwu as she moved forward. In this dense forest, she deliberately lowered her voice, but it was still ethereal and pleasant, melodious and mellow.
"Yes."
Kang Shin-mu nodded. He was sure that his current combat strength was inferior to Jiang Yuening's. It would be good for him to assist her from the side since she was the main force.
At the same time, he had a higher opinion of Jiang Yuening. At least she knew that she might be ambushed and wasn't arrogant just because she had just transformed into a dragon.
In fact, the Jiang tribal clan's upper echelons had another purpose for this Demon Slaying experience. It was to dampen the spirit of the newly transformed dragon warriors.
Generally speaking, a dragon martial artist who had just transformed into a dragon would have a sense of arrogance in their heart. This arrogance would become their fatal weakness at some point in time!
After the demon-slaying experience, the vast majority of the Dragon Warriors would retract their arrogance, because they would know that the Dragon Warriors were not invincible in this world, let alone the younger generation of the Dragon Warriors who had just transformed into dragons.
With Jiang Yuening in front and Kang Shin-mu behind, they moved deeper into the Exorcist Forest.
Soon, Kang Shin-mu sensed the aura of Earth Yao. This Exorcist Forest was the territory of many Earth Yao. Even the small demon beasts in the periphery would have at least two or three Earth Yao.
It wasn't easy to find a suitable target.
Fortunately, ordinary Earth Yao were no match for dragon warriors of the same level. Furthermore, the Jiang tribal clan had experts patrolling nearby. Even if they encountered danger, their lives wouldn't be in danger. All they had to do was ask for help.
Before they set off, everyone who participated in the Demon Slaying experience was given a Flame Explosion Scroll by the Jiang tribal clan. This was a scroll that could quickly transmit information. By crushing it, one's location could be transmitted to the Jiang tribal clan's elders.
In times of danger, one could crush the Flame Explosion Scroll in their hands. The Jiang tribal clan's experts would quickly arrive at the scene.
Of course, unless it was a life and death situation, no one would be willing to crush the Flame Explosion Scroll to ask for help. This meant that the person would be removed from the Demon Slaying experience and lose their qualifications. The Earth Yao killed would be reduced to zero, which could lead to the failure of the clan.
Kang Shin-mu followed behind Jiang Yuening and gradually entered the depths of the Exorcist Forest.
The surroundings were already filled with the aura of Demon Beasts. Kang Shin-mu was extremely sensitive to this and could even smell the possible types of Demon Beasts in the surroundings.
"Jiang Yuening, let's move a little to the left." Soon, Kang Shin-mu said to the slim figure in front of him.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuening asked curiously, "Why?"
"If we keep moving forward, we will encounter two Earth Yao at the same time. Moreover, they are tiger-type Earth Yao and are extremely aggressive."
Kang Shin-mu said in a low voice.
He had smelled the aura of tiger-type Demon Beasts before, so he was most familiar with them. Now, he was certain that there were two tiger-type Earth Yao in front of them. If they were to pounce together, it would be very troublesome.
Of course, Kang Shin-mu wasn't worried that he and Jiang Yuening together would not be a match for the two tiger-type Earth Yao. It was just that this place was complicated and he didn't want to be in a stalemate with them.
If he couldn't quickly finish off his opponent, it was very likely that he would be held up by them. In the end, he would be besieged by the Earth Pangolin and Silver Feathered Bird.
"Yes."
Jiang Yuening was a little surprised that Kang Shin-mu could actually sense the aura of the Earth Yao. Fortunately, she still believed in Kang Shin-mu and turned to the left, deviating from their original direction.
In the Drive Heaven Forest, every tree was so tall that it was almost impossible to see the top.
These trees were extremely sturdy. Even if demonic beasts of the Earth Yao level fought, these trees would rarely be destroyed. The entire Drive Heaven Forest was a dense forest world.
After Jiang Yuening changed her direction, she didn't encounter any problems. Some ordinary demonic beasts had already sensed the approach of the Dragon Martial Artist and had long fled far away.
Even before they entered the Drive Heaven Forest, many demonic beasts had already received the news and rushed to spread the news, retreating into the depths of the Drive Heaven Forest.
This also led to almost no one being able to find any demonic beasts in the beginning.
However, when the group of people went ten miles deep into the Drive Heaven Forest, the situation began to become complicated. Jiang Yuening and Kang Shin-mu's side occasionally encountered demonic beasts on the ground and in the air. They continued to move forward, alarming many ordinary demonic beasts that were resting.
However, the two of them had no interest in ordinary demonic beasts, because killing these demonic beasts wouldn't add points to the Demon-Slaying Experience Points. Only killing Earth Yao would do.
"Jiang Yuening, follow me!"
After about fifteen miles, Kang Shin-mu suddenly felt an unusual aura. He called out to Jiang Yuening softly and then directly rushed to the side.
Jiang Yuening didn't expect that Kang Shin-mu would leave just like that. She was secretly a little annoyed, but she couldn't watch Kang Shin-mu take the risk alone. Maybe Kang Shin-mu had discovered something, so she hurriedly followed.
When she caught up with Kang Shin-mu, she found that Kang Shin-mu had indeed found an Earth Yao. This Earth Yao was a purple scorpion that wasn't considered big. It was hidden in the dense forest. If it wasn't for Kang Shin-mu's keen sense of smell, he wouldn't have been able to find this purple scorpion.
However, since he had found an Earth Yao alone, Kang Shin-mu certainly wouldn't miss it.
The hunt had begun!
"Be careful of the scorpion's stinger. It's very poisonous!"
Kang Shin-mu said to Jiang Yuening. Then, he flashed to the other side and blocked the other exit of the dense forest. At the same time, he surrounded the purple scorpion with Jiang Yuening.
"It's actually a third layer Earth Yao. Kang Shin-mu, be careful. Let me deal with it."
Jiang Yuening said cautiously. This was also the first time she had encountered an Earth Yao. Moreover, it was a third layer Earth Yao. The opponent's strength was extremely strong. She had to focus all her attention on the enemy.
As for the surrounding security, she would leave it to Kang Shin-mu!
The fact that Kang Shin-mu could find this purple scorpion Earth Yao through his keen sense of smell meant that Kang Shin-mu could take on the role of security in this Tianchu Forest. Jiang Yuening was even more at ease with him.
The purple scorpion was originally hiding in the dense forest to rest, but it didn't expect someone to disturb it. It immediately became very angry.
The purple scorpion was naturally a little afraid of the Dragon Warrior. However, it saw that it was just a little guy who had just transformed into a dragon. Why would it be afraid?
Just as Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening surrounded the purple scorpion Earth Yao, the purple scorpion began to move. It was as swift as the wind. It swiftly passed through the dense forest and attacked Jiang Yuening like a purple stream of light!
Charm of Wind, break!
Facing the attack of the purple scorpion Earth Yao, Jiang Yuening was not flustered. Her graceful figure danced and brought up a gust of wind. She aimed at the purple stream of light and blasted it out!
The gust of wind and the stream of light collided and exploded. The purple scorpion's figure was immediately sent flying. After all, this scorpion was too small. Its most powerful ability was probably its poison.
Fighting against such an Earth Yao required agility. Otherwise, if one was accidentally pricked by the scorpion, their life would be in danger.
However, in terms of agility, Jiang Yuening did not need others to worry about her. Her graceful figure danced like the wind as she traveled through the dense forest, continuously using the Charm of Wind Martial Skill to fight against the Purple Earth Demon.
Even though she had not transformed into a dragon, she was not at a disadvantage at all!
