Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 159 Orcon Forest 2 III : Crater

Now normally such an action was asking for a one way ticket to the land of the dead, however because Alex already had Xeron, the idea of dying to poison would probably be an alien concept to him, not unless it's a poison specifically engineered to kill him.

The hill that Alex had to get the Rock poison Rose was right in front of them, there was a little depression going downwards from where they were, it made Alex suspect that the massive rocky hill/boulder was actually a meteor that fell here years ago. After all if he had to properly take the lay of the land into consideration, this place was a crater. On one corner of the crater there was actually a lake with, a suspicious amount of Jelly fishes there. Now that was actually the most surprising thing Alex had seen in the forest in all of the time he had spent here. Jellyfishes were salt water creatures, so it's surprising seeing them in a bubbling crystal clear poison lake...…there's no way that Lake isn't poison.

The jelly fishes themselves were quite large, just about a meter in length and diameter, and not just that, apparently they could float in the air too, and their tentacles had glowing bulbous bulbs lining their edges. But when you took into consideration that on the other side were actually a bunch of miniature hydras, it becomes obvious that there was a power struggle on different sides of the crater, with the massive hill/Meteor being the dividing line. As for the magical and demonic beast that are supposed to be fighting each other for ownership of that Wind flower, there was no sign of them, and honestly Alex hoped they showed up quick.

The materials for the ritual aside, that wind flower would definitely be beneficial to his cultivation, after all Alex was know to have a platinum grade wind cultivation root. The very best, and so far he's not really paid attention to that part of himself, even though in one way or another, the wind has always been helping him achieve great things.

Fire was destructive, and the fact that he could use it with such ease was amazing, but the path of fire didn't belong to him, heck the fire he uses belongs to the fire mask, something that's a part of him, but comes from the outside. Basically you could say it was an augment to his power, but the wind, that came from within, and Alex wanted to start building his strengths.

Besides he's already know for fire and blood techniques with quite the destructive tendencies, it was time to cultivate another hidden card that would give u m an edge over his enemies, after all, only a fool wouldn't master his greatest gift and Talent. But getting the wind flower was just a bonus, but even then Alex doubted it would be easy, after all quite a number of people have been trying for the decades the academy has been officially open, and the hundreds of years it was just a secret school for the elite. Either way, Alex had every intention on not just leaving here with that flowed, but also with the carcass and blood of both the magical and demonic beast fighting each other for a fight over the flower.

(Master it's almost noon.)

Alex heard Khan's voice in his head, the Kamaitachi was in his wind form and we'll hidden within the folds of Alex's clothing. He was pretty much invisible to everyone else, even to his master. Over the last month, He has grown exponentially stronger and more in touch with his skills, though Alex was still hoping to see him use his demonic abilities in a fight, and speaking of which, the demonic weasel/wolf was actually advancing quite rapidly.

• SPIRIT NAME: Khan

• SPIRIT RACE: Kamaitachi/ Demonic Brood Wolf(ALPHA)

• SPIRIT RANK: Soldier(Stage 6)

• SPIRIT SCHOOL: (Apparition)(Manifestation)(Mind Sight)

• SPIRIT SKILLS: (Wind Coat: Level 5)(Cursed Bite: Level 2)(Perception: Level 3)(Demon Wind: Level 1)

All of his skills except for (Demon wind) had leveled up, and even more so was the fact that he was now stage 6 when it hasn't even been up to two months since he became a soldier rank spirit.

Wind coat had seen the most growth, which was understandable; Khan used it all the time as that skill was the source of his ability to have a wind form that basically the epitome of all stealth skills. There wasn't much to his demonic side as apart from demonic wind there were no accompanying skills, think the Alex couldn't wait to see if Khan could have a brood army like the demons they had fought in Macau. He probably has to use his cursed bite on a few wolves to see if it works....maybe they could try that later and see just how far Khan's skills could be pushed.

Alex turned his attention back to the crater, both camps of beasts were keeping their distance from each other, so the central part was Practically a no man's land. The easier way would be to have Khan go there and harvest both flowers, but Alex didn't just come here for the flowers to also kill. Honestly since it was just him he would very much prefer not to fight any of the lackeys around and just focus on the main beasts, which hopefully don't gang up on him in attempt to keep the wind flower to themselves, which was why Khan would be running interference and be bait. But first he had to get those beasts to come out of hiding, and the easiest way to do that, was to kill a bunch of their kids.

But it would be hard, except for the spirit masks themselves, Alex had no wide area of effect martial techniques. All of his Qi arts were direct and one on one, he could attack more than a single target at a time, but not in a wide areas as his spirit masks allows him, such that he could kill three dozen creatures or people in the blink of an eye. His mastery of the (Four seasons of the Weeping world) was actually complete, there wasn't too much to understand, the( south spear of summer) the (North sword of winter) the (West Bow/darts of spring) and the (The East hammer of Autumn).

(Fire, Wind, Water, Earth) basically this was the fundamental behind the martial art, and all the weapons could be different. The north focused one bladed weapons like swords, sabers and daggers, the south was all about the range of spear like weapons, the west was basically for ranged weapons; flying daggers, arrows, bullets, hidden needles etc. And East was for blunt weapons like hammers, made, rods etc.

The south and the north was all Alex needed, but as it stands he would probably have to go look for a new martial art that can help him delish our ranged attacks. Though an increase in cultivation would also help, as it's in the true essence realm a cultivator becomes truly capable of expelling Qi from their body past a two meter range, not unless they're using special energy, like the sword force Alex had accidentally cultivated. But that was until he gets back, for now he would just have to wreak havoc with what he already has on hand. He had to draw those boss Beasts out, Khan could secure the Rock Poison Rose and then later the wind flower to cause a distraction and lead the beasts on a wild chase while Alex whittled them down with attacks from the side.

He was saving his spirit masks for that fight, so for now, he has to fast the extra beasts with the only his Qi and martial skills alone. But Alex wasn't worried, quite frankly even though he doesn't know how strong he really is, one thing for sure is the fact that he's practically unbeatable with the Mortal gate. He turned to Khan even though he couldn't see the spirit and called out to him.

"Khan are you ready?"

(I was born ready master, let's go already!)

 Alex rushed out, spear in hand, keeping a straight line as he stuck firmly to the middle, but then he veered towards the jelly fish, ignoring the Hydras that were content to just watch a stupid human run towards his death. The jelly fishes themselves were magical creatures, hence their attacks were a little bit more weird than the norm. As Alex got closer, his ears was beset with a sort of sonic scream, or rather he felt as if the moment he crossed into their part of the crater, there was a kind of sonic domain that made him disoriented and his ears ring. He was brought down to his feet in a second, blood already looking out of his ears.

What Alex didn't one was that the Jelly fish magical beasts, were not actual water attributed magical beasts, but wind type with a specialization in sound and sonic magic technique. And till today, Alex hasn't really had a chance to face a full magical beasts, the ones in the Infernal prison Dimension don't count as they were very much corrupted by some other energy. But as the jellyfishes began to gather around his location, Alex couldn't help but wonder if maybe he had bit off more than he could chew this time, after all this was a rapid turn it events.
