Chapter 48: Breaking the Shackles, General
Sizzle
While Feng Qing'an was still pondering, Heishan had already stretched out its claws. Unable to suppress its curiosity, it stretched out its claws towards the big snake, whose waist alone was bigger than its head. A line of fire burst out, which was particularly conspicuous in the night.
“…”
Feng Qing'an was speechless as he looked at the sparks bursting out from Heishan's claws. The scales of this giant snake seemed to be comparable to gold and iron, perhaps even better.
"Stop playing and quickly climb the tree to pick the fruit!"
Feng Qing'an had long noticed that the giant snake's anger was almost condensed into substance, and judging from its physique, it was probably already endowed with wisdom comparable to that of a human, making it an old monster in the mountains.
Logically speaking, anyone who provoked this monster would feel uneasy, but Feng Qing'an was not afraid at all. After all, a few books could defeat it, and Heishan could even sharpen his claws on it.
What's the point of being angry? Without the power to resist the righteousness, you can only lie on the ground obediently.
Awooo~
After hearing this, Heishan raised his head and cast his gaze towards the huge tree canopy with lush branches and leaves above his head, staring at the fruits that were flashing a faint red light in the dark.
"Identification!"
【Snake Fruit】
[A spiritual creature nourished by the essence of a snake monster can open the minds of snake creatures, purify their blood, and greatly increase their potential. For non-snake creatures, the effect is weakened, but it still has a certain effect.]
"Big demon!?"
After seeing the information about this spiritual creature, Feng Qing'an couldn't help but look at the big white snake that still had the strength to struggle under the great energy with new eyes.
The spiritual objects that Heishan had found before were all transformed from the spiritual essence of the mountain. They were born and nurtured by nature, but they just happened to be found by the monster. However, the spiritual tree in front of him, which was obviously of a high grade, was actually grown because of the existence of this giant snake.
"Therefore, beside powerful creatures, there must be spiritual creatures born, and the quality and quantity of spiritual creatures will not be low."
Feng Qing'an drew inferences from one instance and made inferences.
"Unfortunately, this spiritual substance is most effective on snakes, but fortunately, it also works for Black Mountain, so at most I can just eat a few more."
"Black Mountain, go!"
After confirming that the spiritual fruit on this tree was indeed beneficial to Black Mountain, Feng Qing'an immediately gave the order.
Oooooh!
After hearing Feng Qing'an's order, Heishan immediately tried to climb the towering ancient tree, which was not difficult.
Because there are traces of friction from some extremely hard and dense object everywhere on this big tree. These are the traces left by the ancient tree being "ravaged" by the big snake for many years.
So, Heishan quickly climbed up to the treetops, stepped on the broad trunk, and without any hesitation bit off a fruit that was shining with a faint red light in the night, and swallowed it without even chewing it.
The next moment, Heishan could not help but let out a howl, and his body, as big as a goat, lay on the tree canopy. A faint red light shone through his body, and even his thick hair could not cover it, shining from his chest, as if what Heishan had just swallowed was not a spiritual fruit, but a piece of charcoal.
In fact, this is exactly how Black Mountain felt. It felt like it had swallowed a piece of charcoal that would never go out, and an endless supply of heat gushed out, filling its entire body.
Its bones, flesh and blood were repeatedly destroyed and repaired by this force, and in the process, it could feel that it was getting stronger at a slow but steady pace, and an invisible shackle was slowly being torn apart.
At the same time, Feng Qing'an also received feedback from Heishan, but his feedback was different from Heishan's, who was undergoing a drastic transformation and enduring great pain.
Feng Qing'an only felt a warm current flowing down from his eyebrows and filling his whole body. He felt warm all over, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring in winter. His body and mind were extremely happy. For him, this was an extremely enjoyable process.
Every time this happened, Feng Qing'an couldn't help but admire the Beastmaster's method of practice. As long as the beast pet had enough potential to be tapped and kept improving, the Beastmaster could indeed become stronger even by lying down.
In fact, Feng Qing'an can also swallow the spiritual herbs in the mountains. He can indeed get the spiritual charm bred in the mountains. However, for ordinary creatures, directly swallowing spiritual objects is the crudest way and the most painful process, and the results are minimized.
Feng Qing'an was not going to bother himself with this, so he decided to leave those spiritual essences in the mountains, and he would come back to use them when he found a safer and more efficient way to consume them.
As for Black Mountain, it has no choice but to suffer for the time being. As a monster, it has no method of cultivation. If it only relies on its instinct to absorb and exhale spiritual energy, it is unknown how long it will take to be promoted to the level of a general.
But now, relying on his righteous spirit, Heishan can even run to the habitat of the big monster in the mountain without restraint and devour the spiritual creatures nourished by his released essence.
Awooo~
When a red sun rose slowly among the mountains, Heishan, who had finally digested the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual fruit he had swallowed, stood up.
It stood on a tree branch, looking at the big sun between the branches and leaves, then raised its head and let out a long howl. A demonic aura as surging as a gale burst out from its body, and its thick hair flew in the air.
At this moment, its body swelled slightly, and the rope of the book bag that was originally tied tightly to its body suddenly broke, and the books on it fell to the ground under the tree.
Snapped!
I don't know if it was bad luck for the big snake, but one of the books happened to fall on it. The big snake, which could raise its head slightly from time to time and make the wolves tremble with fear, suddenly became motionless.
Heishan was also frightened by this scene, but when he saw that the books did not fall into the water but were scattered on the grass under the tree, he was immediately relieved. However, even so, he quickly climbed down the tree and picked up the books one by one.
It was not planning to leave in the short term, because based on past experience of swallowing spiritual objects, it would take at least five swallows of this powerful spiritual fruit before it would completely lose its effect on it, so it planned to stay here for a while. As for the unfortunate big snake below, it would have to endure it for a while.
There is occasional rainfall among the mountains, which is the biggest threat to Black Mountain nowadays. Fortunately, its body has now grown large enough, and when it senses that it is about to rain, it can hide the book under its belly.
So, for several days, Heishan stayed happily on the tree canopy, picking spiritual objects nourished by the blood of the big demon and consuming them. And when it took the second one, it naturally broke through the shackles and was promoted to a creature of a higher level.
