Chapter 1518 Escape From The Bog (Part Two)
The Vital Energy Refining Pce, in which he had practiced his martial arts, was only open to capable
warriors at the level of the Bitter Sea Realm. With the help of the vital energy stone, he managed to
stay in that pce and refined his skills there. As a result, he was able to increase his strength greatly
in such a short period.
Austin stood up and rxed his limbs. It was slightly stinging from the long sitting. Then heunched
out his spiritual sense to scan the situation outside the City model.
He found that the City model was currently inside the belly of a magic rock alligator. He might be in the
stomach of the beast.
Austin focused and thought of going out of the City model. After he exited the City Model, a heavy
disgusting smell weed him the very next moment as he was already in the stomach of the magic
rock alligator. He then carefully ced the City model back into his Space Ring.
Austin moved and dashed towards the mouth of the magic rock alligator. The stomach of the beast was
a sickening sight to be in. When he was approaching the mouth of the beast, he swung one of his fists
at the beast''s lower chin.
The hit gave the magic rock alligator a sudden pain and immediately made it open its big mouth.
Austin leaped and jumped out of the beast''s mouth like a shadow. He dashed into the air swiftly and
suspended himself steadily in the sky.
He fleeted away with lightning speed, paying no attention to what the beast had felt at this moment.
The magic rock alligator was extremely enraged by the humand''s unexpected attack. It red at his
back with a pair of eyes full of fiery fury and roared at him desperately.
It was eager to catch this human and tear him into pieces! However, judging from his speed, the beast
understood that there was no way to catch up to him. It would be too hard to do so.
Therefore, the only thing the magic rock alligator was able to do was to roll wildly in the mud of the bog
and vent its wrath on everything within its reach. It started to tear apart anything in its way using its big
bloody mouth. Its sharp teeth like saw de pierced even the hardest rock and crumbled it into dust. It
sshed enormous mud into the sky, which then dropped to the ground like showers.
Austin headed directly towards the middle area of the Wild Herb Valley after leaving the bog.
The Wild Herb Valley consisted of three parts: the outer area, the middle area, and the inner area.
Among the three areas, the herbs and natural nts found in the inner area were the most valuable
and the best kind. There were various species of herbs and natural nts in this area. Almost every
one of them was rtively old.
The herbs and natural nts in the middle area were a little inferior to those that could be found in the
inner area, and those found in the outer area were the most inferior of the three areas.
Austin chose to find his desired herbs and natural nts in the middle area first.
He soon saw huge mountains one after another as he arrived at his destination.
Austinunched his spiritual sense to check the situation over there. He saw disciples of other sects
and heard nks of weapons and screams of fight in some ces from time to time. The fights
sounded severe and forceful, as the impact of the power of vital energy force could be clearly felt.
Austin estimated that there might be some disputes happening between different sects concerning the
collection of the herbs and natural nts. They must have been fighting over some valuable herbs.
Instead of flying in the air, Austin chose to run in the woods with his fast bodily movement skill. He
could not risk his enemies to know his location, and he aimed to conceal well his whereabouts.
Though the Wild Herb Valley was huge, people from various sects were scattered everywhere in
search of different valuable herbs. It would be too risky if he flew in the open air. If his enemies located
him, fights between the two sides might happen again.
Austin did not dare to rx his nerves when he was winding through the wood that was under the
protection of the green canopy formed by thick trees. Besides having to hide from the view of his
enemies, he had to avoid the attacks from some powerful demonic and diabolic beasts from time to
time.
Half a day had already passed since Austin entered the woods.
Austin stopped to scan his surroundings, noticing that he was in a vast primitive forest now.
Fogs of spiritual energy filled the space between straight towering trees likeyers of gauze twined on

them.
Austin smelt many kinds of herbal fragrance of elixir. The smell lingered in the air.
There was no denying that this primitive forest was the home to various species of herbs and natural
nts that he was looking for.
Austin slowed himself down and searched carefully among the trees and shrubs rooted on the ground.
"Oh, my god! That''s..."
Austin suddenly halted as something interesting had aroused his attention. There were more than ten
ck nts under a gigantic tree. The tree was so thick that it would take several persons holding their
hands together to measure its diameter.
"That''s the ninth-grade ck earth essence grass!"
Austin rubbed his eyes and eximed with surprise. He could not believe what he was seeing right
now. That was the earth-nature elixir he had been longing for the most!
In line with the five basic elements, natural herbs could also be divided into these five categories—
metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—ording to their nature.
Elixirs, superior herbs, and natural sources of the earth nature were very vital and needed in practicing
the Grand Body Refining Skill.
Earlier sess could be achieved if more of these earth-nature elixirs, superior herbs, and natural
sources of good quality were to be obtained. Austin was in a big luck to find these nts.
Without any more dys, Austin dashed towards those ck nts as quickly as he could. He plucked
every one of them up and ced all of them into his Space Ring.
"These earth-nature herbs are indeed some surprise rewards for my adventure here. That is a good
sign! There must be more treasured herbs I can find here."
Austin grinned and his eyes sparkled. There was a glint of expectation mixed with excitement reflecting
in his face. The next moment, he paced up to search for more herbs that he desired.
