Chapter 4: Food Hunting
I just saved this brat, but not only did he not repay me, he even slapped me?
If he hadn't run so fast, Chen Li would have already gone over to deal with him.
But there is still a problem right now that makes Chen Li a little overwhelmed.
There was no way to practice fasting before reaching the foundation-building stage. He hadn't eaten for a whole day, and his stomach was rumbling loudly.
Afterwards, Chen Li turned his head and looked at the purple-scaled python over there. Now the only option was to roast and eat this snake.
The purple-scaled python that had lost its life no longer had the protection of spiritual energy, so it was naturally not as strong as before.
But these scales are good things. Not only can they be used as medicine, but they can also be used to make protective gear.
So he collected the scales while decomposing the body of the Purple Scaled Demonic Python.
After doing all this, he started to build a fire and roast the purple-scaled python.
Smelling the aroma of the snake meat, Chen Li's appetite was aroused. He grabbed it and started eating without caring about the heat.
After a hearty meal, Chen Li sat on the ground contentedly, but suddenly he felt a huge surge of energy in his body.
His body felt like it was burned by flames and the temperature rose rapidly.
Chen Li hurriedly sat cross-legged and sensed the Qi Sea.
The snake meat he had just eaten, after passing through that unknown light spot, was actually gradually transforming into pure spiritual energy, flowing through his internal organs.
Although this nourishes the body and eliminates impurities, if Chen Li cannot hold on to such terrifying spiritual energy, the consequences will be disastrous.
"How can I give up such a great opportunity?" Chen Li is not a person who will give in. He directly controls the pure spiritual energy to flow in his body.
The spiritual energy continues to flow along the meridians, nourishing the body, expanding the meridians, and finally flowing into the qi sea.
Listening to the crackling sounds coming from his body, Chen Li's body had already been wet with sweat and looked very tired.
boom!
When the last wisp of spiritual energy flowed into the sea of qi, an astonishing momentum burst out from Chen Li's body, directly knocking down the surrounding trees.
"The power has increased."
Chen Li couldn't believe that just by eating the corpse of the purple-scaled python, he could improve so much.
Feeling the flow of spiritual energy in his body, his meridians were baptized by the pure spiritual energy and could withstand even greater amounts of spiritual energy. Although it did not improve his cultivation, with his current strength, he could easily deal with challenges from higher levels.
Feeling the strange light spots in the body, the light spots also underwent some slight changes at this time.
The light spot gradually changed into the prototype of a long sword, exuding a terrifying sword intent.
Chen Li sucked in a breath of cold air. The prototype alone possessed such a terrifying sword intent. If it had a complete appearance, how terrifying would the sword intent be? Chen Li couldn't even imagine it.
All this was just because I ate the flesh and blood of this purple-scaled demon python in desperation.
Could it be that the flesh and blood of this monster can enhance its strength through this light spot?
If this is true, then now is not the time to rest.
Thinking in his mind, Chen Li shifted his gaze to the forest. There was no shortage of monsters in this forest. In that case, he might as well fulfill his wish.
Just as he was about to take action, two tall wolves appeared in Chen Li's sight.
Pure black fur like thorns, creepy fangs, red eyes staring at Chen Li, emitting a dangerous light, and there is a moon-like mark on the forehead.
Black Moon Wolf?
Chen Li was a little surprised. The Black Moon Demon Wolf is a nocturnal social animal, so why were there only two of them, and in the daytime?
However, judging from their thin bodies and certain scars on their bodies, they were probably rejected by the wolf pack. In addition, they have not eaten for a long time and only appeared here because they smelled the aroma of roasted snake meat from Chen Li's place just now.
Chen Li grinned. He was worried about not being able to find food, and these guys actually came to his door.
The two Black Moon Demon Wolves stared at Chen Li intently, drooling at the corners of their mouths, and it was obvious that they were starving to death.
They didn't care about anything else and rushed towards Chen Li at an extremely fast speed.
The Black Moon Demon Wolf's advantage lies in speed. Even Chen Li, who had once reached the sixth level of Qi training, had no way to deal with a Black Moon Demon Wolf, let alone two starving demon wolves.
But now, Chen Li felt that their speed was not as fast as he thought. Facing the Black Moon Demon Wolf that pounced on him, Chen Li dodged with just a flash.
This surprised Chen Li. After his body was strengthened, these Black Moon Demon Wolves were completely unable to get close to him.
The Black Moon Demon Wolf was not a vegetarian either. After failing to pounce on Chen Li, it immediately changed direction and pounced on Chen Li again.
Seeing two Black Moon Demon Wolves coming from different directions, Chen Li gripped the sword tightly, infused spiritual energy into it, and slashed with the sword, directly splitting the two Black Moon Demon Wolves in half.
Chen Li was extremely surprised that he easily killed two Black Moon Demon Wolves.
Without three or five people, there would be no way to deal with the Black Moon Demon Wolves, but now he had killed two of them by himself.
Although they were injured and their strength was reduced, the fact that they easily killed the injured Black Moon Wolf with the strength of the fifth level of Qi training was enough to prove Chen Li's strength.
Looking at the Black Moon Demon Wolf that was split in half, Chen Li did not hesitate and immediately skinned the two wolves and started a fire again to roast the meat.
The two Black Moon Demon Wolves only had a few pounds of meat, and the rest were all bones. Chen Li felt helpless, as such tall wolves actually had so little meat.
After eating the meat in no time, Chen Li suddenly felt the spiritual energy around him increase.
This time, there was no painful feeling like before, but it was very comfortable instead.
The spiritual energy passed through his meridians, allowing Chen Li to clearly feel that his strength was constantly growing.
He sat cross-legged, feeling the flow of spiritual energy in his body, and fell into a state of enlightenment.
For a moment, he felt that the flow rate around him was gradually slowing down, and a series of scenes from his memory gradually emerged in his mind.
He was a person who looked exactly like Chen Li. No matter the wind or grass moving around him, their speed was extremely slow, as if even time had slowed down a few meters around him.
The field of sword intent!
Chen Li had clearly never seen such a situation before, but he was able to know the name accurately.
All of a sudden, a person who looked exactly like Chen Li turned around and slashed out with a sword.
The sword energy contained a huge amount of spiritual energy, as if it could cut through space and time, erupting with astonishing pressure.
Chen Li suddenly opened his eyes and breathed heavily.
The sword in the picture just now contains supreme sword intent. Even if you can comprehend a little bit of it, it may help you improve a lot in the way of swordsmanship.
Hmm? A breakthrough?
Chen Li suddenly felt the power of his own cultivation. In an instant, he went from the fifth level of Qi training to the sixth level of Qi training.
It's back, everything is back.
Chen Li clenched his fists tightly. It only took him a few days to raise his cultivation to the sixth level of Qi training.
All this is thanks to that strange light.
At the same time, this also made Chen Li very curious. Why would such a terrifying existence be absorbed by himself when it took over his body?
boom!
At this moment, Chen Li suddenly felt the earth shaking.
The sound of fighting coming from not far away immediately disturbed his thoughts.
Could it be that there are monsters over there?
Chen Li grinned. Since eating monsters could increase his strength so quickly, he might as well go over and take a look .
Thinking about this, Chen Li immediately moved forward.
When Chen Li arrived at the battle scene, he found that things were not going as he expected.
Not far to the left of Chen Li stood a team of three people led by a woman in white. The woman had long hair like a waterfall, fair skin, and was tightly holding a long sword. There was a chill on her delicate face.
Snow Silver?
Chen Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet her here.
She was a true genius among the outer sect. At the age of nineteen, she had already reached the seventh level of Qi training. It was even rumored that she had already been reserved by the inner sect elders, who planned to take her as their last disciple.
The three-man team on the other side was led by a man in a white robe.
Zhou Chen!
Chen Li knew this man. He was the number one lackey of the outer sect disciple Zhao Bin. Because he was very close to Zhao Bin and had reached the sixth level of Qi training, almost no one dared to mess with him.
"Zhou Chen, we were the ones who discovered and killed this Iron-Armored Bull. Do you want to attack your fellow disciples just for resources?" Bai Xueyin held a long sword, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Zhou Chen and questioned.
Zhou Chen laughed, "Senior Sister Bai, our Nanli Sect believes that strength is respected. Besides, the sect won't care if three outer disciples died in this remote place."
"Do you want to die?" Bai Xueyin gritted his teeth, spiritual energy surrounded his body, and a cold air spread, making people shiver.
Zhou Chen did not retreat in the face of such terrifying spiritual energy. Instead, he said more arrogantly, "Senior Sister Bai, your team has probably already used up all the spiritual energy in dealing with this armored bull. And you are also injured. It may not be that easy for you to deal with us."
Chen Li now understood the situation. Bai Xueyin's spiritual energy had been exhausted long ago. In addition, the two teammates behind him were only at the fourth level of Qi training. They had no way of fighting against Zhou Chen, who was at the sixth level of Qi training.
In addition, the teammates behind Zhou Chen are at the fifth level of Qi training.
It seems like it was premeditated.
At this moment, the Iron-Armored Bull, who had been lying on the ground without any movement, suddenly stood up and rushed towards Bai Xueyin and others.
Playing dead!
Bai Xueyin widened her eyes. This iron-armored bull actually gained intelligence.
I'm afraid that since Zhou Chen and others appeared just now, the Iron-Armored Bull planned to use Bai Xueyin's side as a breakthrough point and choose to escape.
Bai Xueyin tightly grasped the sword, trying to block the heavy armor of the Iron-Armored Bull, but she couldn't muster any strength in her body, let alone use her spiritual energy.
The teammates were exhausted and had no strength left.
In an instant, a sword light flashed, and the Iron-Armored Bull that was originally rushing towards Bai Xueyin and others suddenly stopped at this moment.
A long and narrow crack gradually appeared, and the Iron-Armored Bull, famous for its defense, was actually killed by a single sword.
"I never thought that this Iron-Armored Bull would be so weak." Chen Li retracted his sword and muttered to himself.
When everyone saw this scene, they could hardly believe that the person who made the move was actually the former outer sect genius Chen Li.
Bai Xueyin stared at Chen Li with her beautiful eyes, feeling somewhat puzzled. Could it be that Chen Li's cultivation had recovered?
The most incredible thing is naturally Zhou Chen.
He didn't expect that Chen Li would suddenly appear on the way.
A disciple who was demoted to the menial job actually came here to meddle in their affairs.
However, Zhou Chen did not believe that Chen Li possessed a high level of cultivation. After all, this Iron-Armored Bull was just a spent force. Anyone could have killed it with that blow just now.
"Oh, isn't this our outer sect genius Chen Li? He has been missing for half a month. Could he have been practicing secretly? He played the role of a hero saving a beauty very well. It's a pity that he doesn't have a good brain and dares to show off in front of your senior brother Zhou." Zhou Chen folded his arms and looked at Chen Li with a playful expression. His words were full of sarcasm.
Chen Li didn't expect that half a month had already passed when he was only in the forest for a short while.
I'm afraid that the reason why I didn't feel hungry during the past half month was because I ate the meat of monsters in advance.
But he didn't care about that. Instead, he looked at Zhou Chen and said with disdain, "It's been a while since we last met. Zhou Chen, your mouth is getting more and more foul. Don't think that you are a human being just because you are Zhao Bin's lackey."
Zhou Chen frowned. This brat actually dared to humiliate him. He must be tired of living.
"Very good, Chen Li, I hope your mouth is as hard as your cultivation, come on!" Zhou Chen shouted immediately.
The team member standing behind Zhou Chen rushed towards Chen Li without saying a word.
The two of them were holding long swords, and when they saw Chen Li standing there motionless, they showed sarcastic smiles on their faces.
This kid couldn't be scared silly.
But in the next second, they suddenly found that Chen Li had disappeared.
"too slow."
Chen Li's voice came from behind them, followed by a flash of cold light.
The sword light slashed across their necks, separating their heads from their bodies. They didn't even realize it. When their heads fell to the ground, they all opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
Zhou Chen had never expected that Chen Li could kill his teammates so easily.
"It seems that you have some abilities. Let me meet you." Zhou Chen came over with a sword in hand, and an astonishing flame emanated from the sword.
Chen Li had no choice but to be on guard. He took a few steps back and blocked the attack.
Although Chen Li's cultivation is not low, Zhou Chen has been with Zhao Bin for some time, and he may have already learned the skills.
This move made Chen Li's palms hurt a little. It seemed that it was a bit uncomfortable to take an attack head-on.
Zhou Chen was very surprised that Chen Li could actually block his attack.
The move he just made consumed half of his spiritual energy, but he didn't expect that it only caused Chen Li to suffer minor injuries.
Seeing that Chen Li seemed somewhat helpless, Zhou Chen made up his mind to kill him while he was ill!
He poured all of his remaining spiritual energy into the sword, and the flame turned into a poisonous snake, rushing towards Chen Li.
"Let me see how you can dodge this move!" Zhou Chen gritted his teeth and shouted to Chen Li.
A sword-shaped mark appeared on Chen Li's forehead. In his eyes, everything was so slow. Looking at Zhou Chen who was coming as if in slow motion, Chen Li suddenly jumped up.
Originally, he was watching Chen Li standing there, but when he appeared in front of him the next second, Zhou Chenren was completely dumbfounded.
"You are too weak." Chen Li spoke coldly, and his sword had already pierced into Zhou Chen's heart.
Zhou Chen fell to the ground in response, looking at Chen Li unwillingly, "This... is impossible."
