WDQK: Incredible Understanding At The Beginning

Chapter 23: Find the Mineral Vein and Fight Against the Black Iron Leopard!

They saw that the bottom of the shovel in Lin Dong's hand had a faint red luster, which was barely visible under the soil.

Lin Zhentian and his two sons were shocked when they saw this scene; they stood there in disbelief.

Lin Tian was also quite happy. He took a step forward and quickly formed a Wood Spirit Seal with his hands. The green hand seal suddenly slammed into the ground.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion reverberated, and the land near the shovel was instantly shattered!

Lin Tian waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew away the broken soil.

In an instant, a layer of red light appeared in the eyes of the onlookers.

It was a layer of reddish, translucent rock.

Deep within that rock layer, pieces of light red crystals could be seen, sparkling with dazzling luster!

"It really is... Yang Yuan Stone Mine! God bless our Lin family!"

Lin Zhentian was so surprised at the sight beneath the rock layer that he resembled a child.

Their Lin family would change starting from today!

Lin Ken and Lin Xiao were also very excited.

Lin Dong's face was filled with anticipation.

Qingtan clapped her hands and said happily, "Brother Lin Tian, I've really made a contribution this time!"

Lin Tian smiled and rubbed Qingtan's head, chuckling as he said, "Yes, Qingtan has indeed made a great contribution to our family."

—

[Ding! You touched Lin Qingtan and obtained a fourth-grade spiritual medicine, Tianyuan Fruit!]

—

Um? Fourth-grade elixir? Not bad!

Upon hearing the voice of the system reward in his mind, Lin Tian couldn't help but feel a rush of happiness.

Lin Zhentian, who was standing by, laughed when he heard Qingtan's words, saying, "Yes, Qingtan has done a great job this time!"

Lin Ken and Lin Xiao nodded with smiles.

The next day, Lin Zhentian mobilized 50% to 60% of the Lin family's men and defended Steel Wood Manor like an iron wall.

In addition, Lin Zhentian transferred many workers from other Lin family farms to Steel Wood Manor.

Most people would only be used for cutting wood, while only those who were absolutely loyal to the Lin family would be secretly sent to mine the Yang Yuan Stone veins.

However, before mining the Yang Yuan Stone ore, the two Black Iron Demon Leopards had to be dealt with first.

To ensure absolute certainty, Lin Zhentian brought along Lin Ken, Lin Xiao, and Lin Tian.

With four great Heavenly Yuan realm masters against two Heavenly Yuan realm Black Iron Demon Leopards, victory was already assured!

Thus, when Lin Dong and Qingtan proposed to go and watch the battle, Lin Zhentian hesitated for a moment but then nodded in agreement.

"Lin Dong and Qingtan will stay at the entrance of the valley while the three of you come with me!"

Once they had reached a vantage point at the entrance of the valley, Lin Zhentian said to them seriously.

This arrangement had been agreed upon ahead of time, and no one had any objections.

Lin Zhentian took the lead, followed closely by Lin Ken, Lin Xiao, and Lin Tian, as they swooped down from the rock wall on one side of the valley.

Soon, the group of four landed safely at the bottom of the valley.

"Roar!"

As soon as Lin Tian and his three companions fell into the valley, the two Black Iron Demon Leopards noticed them warily and let out low growls, as if to warn them.

"Lin Tian and I will deal with one, while you two brothers handle the other. We must act quickly and decisively; we can't let them escape!" Lin Zhentian glanced fiercely at the two Black Iron Demon Leopards and shouted in a low voice.

"Tian Er, be careful!" Lin Xiao warned Lin Tian before he and Lin Ken rushed towards one of the Black Iron Demon Leopards.

Lin Zhentian took Lin Tian to attack the other Black Iron Demon Leopard.

Lin Zhentian was confident in his ability to deal with a Black Iron Demon Leopard; he had brought Lin Tian along to let him experience a life-and-death battle with the beast!

After all, life-and-death battles were inevitable if one wanted to progress in martial arts!

Lin Zhentian had high hopes for Lin Tian and intended to use this opportunity to train him.

"Roar!"

As Lin Zhentian and Lin Tian attacked, the Black Iron Demon Leopard responded with an angry roar and launched a counterattack.

The Black Iron Demon Leopard had a certain level of intelligence and seemed to recognize that Lin Tian was weaker, so it charged towards him!

It raised its front legs and pounced at Lin Tian fiercely, opening its jaws wide to bite at Lin Tian's head!

Facing the attack of the Black Iron Demon Leopard, Lin Tian did not panic. His hands quickly changed, forming a fire spirit seal that slammed down toward the creature!

"Bang! Bang!"

The Fire Spirit Seal Lin Tian unleashed collided fiercely with the front legs of the Black Iron Demon Leopard, producing two dull, crashing sounds.

The tremendous force caused Lin Tian's blood to surge as he retreated five or six steps before he could stabilize himself.

The Black Iron Demon Leopard was not doing well either!

Despite being at a higher realm and significantly stronger than Lin Tian, the fire attack associated with the Fire Spirit Seal inflicted a great deal of pain, and its legs were almost roasted!

"Roar!"

The Black Iron Demon Leopard roared, frantically urging its energy into its legs in a desperate attempt to pounce on Lin Tian again.

By chance, it extinguished the flames on its legs.

However, it was impossible for it to continue attacking Lin Tian!

Lin Zhentian, standing nearby, took advantage of the moment when the Black Iron Demon Leopard's full attention was on Lin Tian and suddenly flew into the air!

Immediately after, Lin Zhentian concentrated all his energy into his two fingers, which descended from above like sharp swords, piercing fiercely into the hard head of the Black Iron Demon Leopard!

This technique was the Lin family's fourth-grade martial art, the Chun Yuan Finger!

While Lin Zhentian had also begun practicing the Five Elements Seal, he was more proficient in the Chun Yuan Finger.

Moreover, he had realized that each style of the Five Elements Seal corresponded to a different level of martial arts.

The Chun Yuan Finger and Fire Spirit Seal were of the same level, just slightly inferior.

"Woo!"

The Black Iron Demon Leopard's head was pierced, resulting in it letting out a mournful cry before soon losing its life.

When the other Black Iron Demon Leopard witnessed this scene, it immediately released an enraged roar.

After the roar of the Black Iron Demon Leopard echoed, the howls of many ferocious beasts arose from the surrounding mountains and forests!

They had clearly been attracted by the roar of the Black Iron Demon Leopard!

"Quick battle, quick decision!" 

Lin Zhentian's expression changed drastically upon hearing the rumbling sound of beasts charging, and he shouted loudly.

He hadn't expected that the Black Iron Demon Leopard could call forth other ferocious beasts.

Although those beasts were certainly not as fearsome as the Black Iron Demon Leopard, they would become a significant problem if there were too many of them!
