232: Chapter 232 Cultivation Speed ​​Doubled

Nie Ning turned his head to look at Heloise.

It was still the traditional electrotherapy skill; the Second Ring Wizard lay on the ground, his body charred black and twitching incessantly from Heloise's lightning.

"That's enough; you're suspected of abusing a corpse like this."

Nie Ning quickly stopped Heloise, unable to understand why this girl always liked to electrocute corpses.

Turning around, he went to the rock wall and looked at the bound man.

He appeared to be a knight, his body covered in scars, and he had already stopped breathing.

Walking into the cave entrance, Nie Ning saw two disheveled women, and in a cage in the corner, there was another dying man covered in injuries.

Seeing Nie Ning enter, the two women curled up in the corner with terrified expressions.

Nie Ning couldn't help but sigh.

This world was just like this; there were always bad people hiding in the dark to hurt others.

He called Heloise over to treat the injuries of the three people, while Nie Ning killed the three dying knights and the Golden Scaled Beast outside, then began to check the loot.

There were three spatial items in total, containing many miscellaneous things, even including various women's clothing.

After burning all the clothes, Nie Ning categorized the various materials, books, and items.

Nie Ning immediately took a fancy to a third-tier spell, Blood Cloud Escape.

It was the escape sorcery the Third-Ring Wizard had used earlier.

This sorcery was very special; the stronger one's blood energy, the faster the speed it could achieve.

Although Nie Ning had the Ice Blue Wing Technique and Crimson Flame Fire Feather, the Ice Blue Wing Technique was a second-tier spell and was gradually failing to keep up with their pace.

While Crimson Flame Fire Feather appeared to be a flight spell, it was actually an offensive type.

Due to the high consumption of offensive spells, it was quite inconvenient to use, so Nie Ning rarely used this skill in his daily life.

The wizard books he had collected did contain flight sorcery.

However, they were all second-tier sorceries, so learning them wouldn't be of much use. Now that he had encountered a third-tier sorcery, he naturally wanted to learn it.

"It's been a long time since I've learned any sorcery; I really should brush up on my knowledge in this area."

Nie Ning muttered softly while looking at the book in his hand.

He was now at the peak of the third tier, and knowledge of spells could increase his inspiration, which would be needed for the upcoming Brand Witchcraft formulas.

After all, relying on a sudden flash of inspiration every time was too unreliable; it wouldn't be good if things went wrong one day.

After organizing the materials, Nie Ning had Chi Yu take the three people out of this forest.

Unfortunately, the three people's strength had been crippled, so he could only give them some travel expenses to live out the rest of their lives.

...

Nie Ning continued forward with Heloise, still following the established route around Narnia Holy Mountain, hunting various strange beasts along the way.

In just three days, the harvest far exceeded that of the ocean trip.

Because the ocean was simply too vast, strange beasts didn't exist everywhere.

Coupled with the boredom, they had barely stopped along the way, wanting to reach land as quickly as possible, so they hadn't hunted many marine strange beasts at all.

Compared to before, there was one more trait and several skills.

There were only four usable skills, and their power had reached the third-tier level.

The acquired trait was called Thought Acceleration.

It would speed up one's thinking; whether in combat or learning, it provided a good bonus, allowing one to seize the initiative.

However, this was not the most important thing; the most important was the improvement of the Strange Beast Body and the Power of a Hundred Beasts, which were related to his cultivation speed.

Now, Nie Ning felt his blood energy surging, as if he had endless energy.

It could only be said that killing these dozens of strange beasts was not in vain; his cultivation speed had increased by about double.

Even though he had only recently reached Sky Knight, Nie Ning felt he was not far from the late stage, and the same was true for the god-forbidden ring.

...

After delaying for so long, Nie Ning arrived at the destination amidst Heloise's nagging.

The two were halfway up the mountain, and the beam of light from the necklace went straight into the interior of the mountain.

However, the two could not find any passage.

Ultimately, Nie Ning used his Earth Control Skill to open a tunnel leading to the interior.

As the two walked forward along the tunnel, they remained alert to their surroundings.

After all, for someone to make a home here, one could imagine their strength was definitely not weak—it might even be a fourth-tier knight, and there might be some traps here.

However, reality proved that their worries were unnecessary.

With his extraordinary perception, Nie Ning walked nearly a thousand meters without sensing any changes in the elements; it didn't look like a place where treasure was hidden at all.

...

Before long, the two stopped.

Because the beam of light on the necklace had disappeared, and the flashing necklace meant they had arrived at their destination.

"Teacher, could this be a prank someone pulled?"

Heloise looked around but found nothing useful.

There was nothing but soil.

Furthermore, there were no traces of elemental flow, and it didn't look like any kind of formation had been set up here; it was as if it were just an ordinary mountain.

Not to mention Heloise, even Nie Ning couldn't help but begin to wonder if they had been played.

But since they were already here, they should at least dig up the nearby soil and take a look.

With his extraordinary Earth Control ability, Nie Ning began to clear the surrounding soil, and he actually found something unusual.

Just a meter beneath their feet, a flat area engraved with Runic Formulas appeared.

Seeing this, the two looked at each other, both seeing the excitement in the other's eyes.

Bickering aside, after searching for so long, any small discovery was enough to invigorate them.

However, the two didn't hold much hope, because this place didn't look like it held treasure no matter how they viewed it.

In the time that followed, Nie Ning began to excavate and expand the tunnel.

Meanwhile, Heloise was responsible for studying those Runic Formulas to see if she could find any clues, hoping to obtain information regarding the treasure.
