Chapter 50: Encounter in the Dark Moon Forest
The Dark Moon Forest can be said to be a paradise for ferocious beasts. Powerful ferocious beasts are everywhere. Even the strong ones in the Qi realm generally don't come here easily unless there is a mission required.
Just after walking a short distance, Li Weiyi heard noise in front of him again. This time the noise was very loud, and it was obvious that there were several ferocious beasts together.
So, Li Weiyi jumped up and landed on a branch of a tree more than 50 meters high in front of him, observing the front.
Not long after, more than a dozen Jueying Leopards appeared in Li Weiyi's eyes.
"Jueying Leopard!? These guys are very fast!"
The Jueying Leopard, a high-level beast, evolved from the leopards of the old world. Their bodies were only slightly larger than the leopards of the old world. So far, the largest Jueying Leopard that humans have seen is only more than five meters long.
The biggest change of the Jueying Leopard is its speed.
Although the Jueying Leopard is only a high-level ferocious beast, its speed is not much inferior to that of a heavenly-level ferocious beast!
With Li Weiyi's strength, although he can easily crush the Jueying Leopards, if these Jueying Leopards are determined to escape, Li Weiyi will be helpless against them.
"One, two, three, ... fourteen, fifteen! A total of fifteen absolute shadow leopards!"
"Well... let's give it a try and see if we can kill one and get a beast core."
There is a beast core in the body of the Jueying Leopard that other ferocious beasts do not have. However, humans currently do not know how the beast core in the Jueying Leopard was created.
However, humans have never given up on the research of animal cores.
However, after nearly thirty years of research, humans still don’t understand the composition of the beast core or what its uses are.
Fifteen Jueying leopards gradually approached the tree where Li Weiyi was. Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Weiyi immediately swung his sword and cut them down.
However, at the moment when Li Weiyi swung his sword, the fifteen Jueying leopards below suddenly stopped moving forward, and then quickly fled in all directions.
It was not until this time that the air blade slashed out by Li Weiyi fell on the position where the fifteen Jueying leopards were previously located below.
A blade of air slashed past, and the dead leaves and branches below were stirred up, but it did not hit a single Jueying Leopard.
When he looked around again, there was no trace of the Jueying Leopard. Li Weiyi could only shake his head helplessly.
"These guys! They're so fast and their alertness is so high!"
Li Weiyi had only seen the Jueying Leopard in the illustrated book before, which only said that the Jueying Leopard was very fast. However, he did not expect that the Jueying Leopard's alertness was as fast as its speed.
Since he couldn't hunt down the Jueying Leopard, Li Weiyi could only jump down from the tree branch and continue to go deeper into the forest.
The area within a hundred kilometers outside the Dark Moon Forest is basically occupied by high-level ferocious beasts.
After a while, Li Weiyi encountered two more silver-hook mantises.
This silver hook mantis is also a high-level beast. Mantis mantis, as the name suggests, is the evolution of the mantis in the old world.
In fact, since the beginning of the New World, all species on Earth have been baptized by the energy of heaven and earth. Some have become stronger, but some have perished because they could not withstand the power of the energy of heaven and earth.
Most insects cannot withstand the baptism of the vital energy of heaven and earth and gradually die out in this world.
The Silver Hook Mantis is one of the few insect species that has become powerful after being baptized by the energy of heaven and earth. Moreover, its body has grown to the size of an adult, and it is also one of the few high-level beasts that can fly.
The name of the silver hook mantis comes from the fact that its two forelimbs have evolved into two silver hooks that are cold and sharp.
Moreover, although the Silver Hook Mantis is a high-level beast, its two silver hooks are rare and good materials for making weapons. Moreover, even the forging of A-level swords will use a small amount of silver hooks.
Looking at the two dark green figures of the same size as humans in front of him, Li Weiyi smiled lightly, raised his sword slightly, a cold light flowed, and slashed out in an instant.
In an instant, a crescent-shaped translucent air blade shot out, and before the two silver-hook mantises could react, the translucent air blade had already cut them.
With two sounds of "Puchi! Puchi!", the two silver-hook mantises were cut in half from the middle.
However, the silver hook mantis that was broken into two pieces did not die immediately. Instead, it screamed sharply and kicked its legs wildly. Its two silver hooks kept scratching the dead branches and leaves in front of it, and dark green liquid spilled all over the surroundings.
After a while, the two silver-hook mantises gradually stopped struggling.
So, Li Weiyi stepped forward and cut off two pairs of silver hooks, put them into his backpack, and then set off into the forest again.
The further you go in, the stronger the beasts you encounter.
Just as Li Weiyi had just gone a short distance deeper, a ferocious beast blocked his way.
"Iron-clad rhinoceros? You have thick skin and tough flesh, which makes you perfect for training!" Li Weiyi slowly drew out the sword from behind with a hint of excitement.
The ferocious beast that blocked Li Weiyi's way was none other than the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros, a ground-level beast.
At the beginning, when Li Weiyi and his team were rescuing the scientific research team of the Chamber of Commerce, they encountered an armored rhinoceros, and they were almost killed by its mouth.
Now, Li Weiyi's strength has improved greatly. When facing the Iron-clad Rhino again, he is no longer as solemn as before and becomes a lot more relaxed.
“Roar~!”
The armored rhinoceros roared, dug the ground with its four hooves, raising dust and dead leaves, and then ran towards Li Weiyi.
Moreover, as the armored rhinoceros rushed over, six ochre-colored cones gradually appeared around it.
The moment the cone was formed, it accelerated instantly and stabbed straight towards Li Weiyi.
“Well done!”
Li Weiyi cried out secretly, and at the same time, the sword in his hand slashed out instantly. A long, almost transparent air blade slashed out horizontally, heading straight for the six ochre-colored cones shot by the Armored Rhino!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The air blade collided with the khaki cone, causing a violent explosion!
The shock wave produced by the explosion swept in all directions. The dead leaves and branches on the ground were picked up by the energy and flew in the air, instantly obscuring the figure of the armored rhinoceros.
Although he could not see the figure of the armored rhinoceros, Li Weiyi did not care. He calmly slashed out with his sword again. Another long, almost transparent air blade slashed horizontally and instantly disappeared into the flying dead leaves and branches.
Immediately afterwards, a roar rang out!
“Roar~!”
Then, the body of the Iron-Armored Rhino rushed out of the flying dead leaves and branches and headed straight for Li Weiyi. Moreover, there was a long and not shallow wound on the left side of the Iron-Armored Rhino's back, and a trickle of animal blood was slowly flowing out from there.
“Roar~!”
With another roar, the armored rhinoceros rushed to Li Weiyi and bit him!
Li Weiyi smiled gently, bent his legs slightly, and then bounced back instantly, easily avoiding the bloody mouth of the armored rhino.
The man was still flying in the air, and Li Weiyi's sword had already chopped down again!
Instantly, a blade of air shot out and instantly cut off the armored rhino's head.
“Puchi~!”
Blood splattered everywhere, and the head of the Iron Rhino was covered in blood from the center of the eyebrows to the upper jaw!
“Roar~!”
Another painful roar was heard, but the Iron-armored Rhino suddenly turned around and fled away into the distance.
"Uh..." Li Weiyi was slightly stunned and quickly chased after him.
However, this armored rhino ran very fast when it escaped, and Li Weiyi was unable to catch up with it!
Moreover, the distance between Li Weiyi and the Armored Rhino continued to widen.
"No! I can't let you, a beast, get away!"
Having made up his mind, Li Weiyi jumped up, and at the same time, the vital energy in his body gushed out behind him, pushing Li Weiyi's body forward at a high speed in the air, while avoiding the huge tree trunk blocking the way ahead.
Moreover, Li Weiyi's flying speed in the air is much faster than his running speed on the ground.
Therefore, the distance between Li Weiyi and the Armored Rhino was rapidly shortening!
This is flying with air!
Moreover, if one wants to control the Qi and fly in the air for a long time, one must open up the Qi sea in the Dantian and reach the late stage of the Qi realm. Only then can one control the Qi and fly for a long time.
Otherwise, with the Qi cultivation level in the early and middle stages of the Qi realm, due to insufficient Qi in the body, a person will fall to the ground after flying a certain distance in the air, which can only be considered gliding.
When the distance to the armored rhinoceros got closer, Li Weiyi swung his sword continuously. Suddenly, air blades shot out and all of them hit the armored rhinoceros without missing a single one.
In an instant, the skin and flesh on the armored rhinoceros' back were torn apart, and painful roars rang out one after another!
"cut!"
As an air blade several times larger than the previous one slashed out, the already wounded Iron-Armored Rhino was instantly cut in half and died!
“Huh! Killing an armored rhino was a lot easier, but it also consumed a lot of my energy!”
Through the battle with the Iron-Armored Rhino, Li Weiyi understood his current strength. The Iron-Armored Rhino's strength was in the middle among the earth-level beasts.
Li Weiyi estimated that even if he faced a Heavenly Rank beast now , if he encountered the weakest of the Heavenly Rank beasts, he could kill it.
Moreover, after a few days, when Li Weiyi's Dantian Qi Sea is full and his meridians are opened up, his strength will be greatly improved again! At that time, even if he faces a powerful existence among the heavenly beasts, Li Weiyi will have the confidence to fight against it!
This is the confidence that the power of Guiyuan Gong brings to Li Weiyi!
After dealing with the armored rhinoceros and collecting the useful materials from it, Li Weiyi went deeper into the forest again.
Before he knew it, Li Weiyi had already gone more than a hundred kilometers deep into the Mingyue Forest.
Moreover, by now it was already dark and Li Weiyi was no longer prepared to move forward.
So, Li Weiyi jumped onto a thick branch about fifty or sixty meters high and sat down cross-legged. He planned to use this place as a resting place for tonight.
It was Li Weiyi, a young and fearless person, who dared to spend the night in the Dark Moon Forest. Other strong men in the Qi realm would not have such courage.
Because it is very dangerous outside the survival base at night, let alone inside the Dark Moon Forest ?
Li Weiyi had just broken through to the Qi realm and his strength was not weak. As the saying goes, a skilled person is daring, so he decided to spend the night here and go back tomorrow.
Li Weiyi was practicing while keeping an eye on his surroundings. Time passed slowly under such circumstances...
