"Hmm hmm hmm..."
A wild boar with bright red hair, over one meter tall and three meters long, was running wildly in the jungle.
This wild beast is called the Red Haired Boar. Although it is not a first level monster, it is very close. Sometimes some weaker first level monster beasts are even unwilling to provoke this beast.
There is a wound on the neck of this red haired wild boar, which is now bleeding profusely. As it rushes all the way, it scatters a lot of blood.
"The skin of this animal is really hard," Luo Xiu leaped and landed on the branch of a big tree.
"Bang!"
The red haired wild boar had crimson eyes and fiercely thrust its head directly against the big tree. Its two sharp fangs pierced open the bark and inserted it into the trunk.
The big tree shook for a moment, but Luo Xiu stood on top without any shaking.
"Animals are animals, stupid to death."
Luo Xiu jumped down from the tree and wielded his sword to cut at the wound on the neck of the red haired wild boar.
The wound was originally caused by his previous sword, but because his sword is just an ordinary weapon, although it can harm this beast, it cannot achieve a decisive blow.
"Puff!"
This sword, accompanied by an accelerated chop, was powerful and heavy. With the infusion of internal energy, the wild boar's head was chopped off and blood splattered all over the ground.
The two most valuable fangs got stuck in the trunk of the tree, and Luo Xiu struggled to get them out. Then he collected a piece of pork and quickly left.
The smell of blood can easily attract other nearby animals, and quickly resolving battles is the wisest choice.
Unconsciously, the sky had already darkened, and the light in the mountains and forests was even dimmer due to the lush branches and leaves blocking it.
"There aren't any dangerous animals around here."
Somewhere in the mountains and forests, Luo Xiu first sensed the situation nearby, and then began counting today's harvest.
On this day, he did not encounter any demon beasts, and the ones he hunted were mostly wild beasts. Their strength was at most comparable to that of a martial artist who refined six levels of body.
So Luo Xiu did not use any special means, relying solely on his personal strength to kill, which can also be considered a kind of honing for himself.
Although directly damaging the vital vein allows him to easily challenge himself, relatively speaking, his fundamental strength is the most important.
Although Luo Xiu is young, he knows more about survival due to his family background.
"Generally, there aren't many valuable things on wild beasts, but I've killed seven or eight of them in one day, so I can probably sell them for two or three thousand taels of silver," Luo Xiu said with a smile on his face.
Although two to three thousand taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for cultivation, it is still the money he earns himself. He believes that as long as his strength is strong, he can definitely earn more resources.
"At night, the line of sight is affected and not suitable for hunting. Find a place to rest first."
A moment later, Luo Xiu found a tree hole. The space inside was not large, but it was also enough. This was the place he discovered half an hour ago, which was relatively hidden and not easy to be discovered.
Taking off the Qingfeng Sword from his body, Luo Xiu reluctantly put it aside and said to himself, "Although I have been killing beasts with a sword all day, in fact, I have never practiced swordsmanship. It would be great if I could obtain a swordsmanship secret book for cultivation."
Sitting cross legged in the tree hole, Luo Xiu began to use the improved Yi Jing bone forging technique.
No matter when or where, one's own practice must not have any slack, this is the principle set by Luo Xiu for oneself.
In the state of cultivation, Luo Xiu uses the Life and Death Ball to perceive the nearby movements. An ant quietly crawls over, and he can also clearly perceive the fluctuations of life.
The energy of heaven and earth converges and enters the body through the breathing and absorption of pores. It condenses into internal energy during the operation of the martial arts and is then refined into muscles and bones.
"Although I am already at the peak of the fifth level of body cultivation, if I want to break through to the sixth level, it will take at least three days according to the current situation." Luo Xiu secretly estimated that since reaching the fifth level of body cultivation, he had begun to realize that his cultivation speed had slowed down.
The influence of the level of cultivation is secondary, and the improved second level internal skill is completely sufficient for his current cultivation, mainly because there is not enough energy for him to absorb and refine.
"Besides relying on pills and formations, how can we gain more vitality?" Luo Xiu's heart was filled with longing, as he longed for his strength to improve faster.
"Buzz!..."
Suddenly, a slight tremor came from the Life and Death Bead in his soul. Although it was very faint, Luo Xiu was clearly aware of the subtle connection between him and the Life and Death Bead.
Immediately after, waves of pure life breath converged towards him, accompanied by the practice of breathing into his body, and his cultivation began to climb at an extremely fast speed!
"This is..." Luo Xiu was both surprised and pleased. Through the induction with the bead of life and death, he got the message that what he absorbed at the moment was the essence of life!
The essence of life is also a kind of vitality, but its quality is higher than that of ordinary vitality in the world. The effect of absorption and refining is incomparable.
"Click!"
In just a moment, the muscles and bones inside Luo Xiu's body made a crackling sound, and a stronger force emerged in his body than before.
"Six levels of body refining, surprisingly breaking through so quickly to six levels of body refining!"
Luo Xiu opened his eyes and his face was filled with a look of surprise. The sixth level of refining the body was the final realm of refining tendons and bones, and further, it was the seventh level of refining the internal organs.
"What I absorbed just now is the essence of life of nearby plants?"
At the same time, Luo Xiu also found that the vitality of the plants and trees within a range of over 100 meters had weakened significantly during perception.
"This is a cultivation method that is almost predatory!"
Life and death are two extremes, depriving other beings of their lives, which is actually the power of death.
And Luo Xiu was well aware that after merging the Life and Death Beads, he possessed the characteristics of both life and death abilities.
Life is giving, giving, death is destruction, deprivation!
"Since the Life and Death Pearl is a precious treasure, it must be something remarkable!" Luo Xiu was not sure what the concept of the precious treasure was. When he first integrated the Life and Death Pearl, various messages about this pearl flooded his mind.
"Anyway, my strength can be quickly improved through this method!" The increase in cultivation excited Luo Xiu, and the problem he had been struggling with was finally solved.
And he also found that he could not only absorb the life force of plants and plants within a hundred meters, but also that all living beings within this range would be deprived of the life force and converge towards him during his exercise.
However, unlike plants and trees, those animals that find their lives deprived will immediately panic and flee. As long as they escape within a range of 100 meters, they will naturally be safe.
That night, the hundred meter area where Luo Xiu was located became a restricted area, and even the monsters that roamed freely in the Shuiwu Mountain dared not approach.
Reaching the sixth level of body refining in cultivation means that Luo Xiu has completed the stage of refining skin, flesh, and bones in the body refining realm.
He can clearly feel the two extremes of life and death hidden in his skin, flesh, and bones, subtly changing his physique and undergoing some kind of transformation.
In the following days, Luo Xiu hunted in the area of Shuiwu Mountain. Whenever the package was full, he would return to Qingyun City to sell it. In five days, he also earned more than 10000 taels of silver.
"Sure enough, it's easy for a warrior to make money. If I were a warrior in the Qi Sea realm, I would definitely earn more by hunting second level monsters."
Luo Xiu sighed and sighed, "Ten thousand taels of silver is simply unimaginable for ordinary civilians.".
"However, although there is a lot of silver, if it is to be used for cultivation, it is not enough."
In recent days, Luo Xiu has been breathing and absorbing life essence in the Shuiwu Mountain, steadily improving his cultivation level. However, if he wants to break through to the seventh level of body refining, it is not something he can achieve in a short period of time.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a roar echoed through the mountains and forests, and even though it was far away, Luo Xiu was still bombarded by the ringing of his eardrums, causing his qi and blood to fluctuate.
"Monster! And it's not an ordinary monster!" Luo Xiu couldn't help but be surprised.
Jumping up, Luo Xiu quickly rushed towards the direction of the beast's roar.
A moment later, in his line of sight, he saw a tiger beast with green and white fur all over its body, standing nearly two meters tall and over four meters long.
The tail of this tiger beast swung, smashing the nearby rocks like steel.
"Iron tailed demon tiger!"
Recognizing the origin of this tiger beast, Luo Xiu's gaze couldn't help but feel a chill.
At the same level, both monster beasts and warriors have different levels of strength. For example, first level monster beasts are divided into four levels: ordinary, medium, peak, and top.
And this Iron tailed Tiger Demon is the top level demon beast. When encountering it in the ninth level of body refining, one must retreat three times.
If it is a top-notch first level monster, even its strength can rival that of a Qi Hai Jing warrior.
And in Luo Xiu's perception, the life aura of this iron tailed tiger demon was incredibly strong, burning like a torch.
At the same time, Luo Xiu also discovered several people hiding nearby. Although these people were hiding well, they could not hide their own life breath and had nowhere to hide in Luo Xiu's perception.
"Whoosh!"
A black light flew out of the sky, accompanied by the trembling of the bowstring.
Luo Xiu squinted his eyes and could only vaguely see the black light flying out, which was truly an arrow!
"These six people should be a hunting team to hunt down this Iron Tailed Tiger Demon!" Luo Xiu thought to himself.
"Puff!"
The penetrating power of arrows is extremely strong, and the Iron tailed Tiger Demon is unprepared. The relatively fragile neck is pierced by arrows, and blood splatters.
"Ow!"
The Iron tailed Tiger Demon roared angrily, with a pair of crimson eyes scanning around, discovering the person who had shot the arrow, and then immediately roared and rushed towards it.
"Livestock dying!"
At this moment, a burly and sturdy man holding two axes rushed out of a nearby bushes and faced the Iron tailed Tiger Demon.
Immediately after, other people hiding nearby also rushed out and besieged the tiger demon at the top of the first level.
Five person siege, one person long-range bow and arrow shooting, is the most commonly used hunting mode for hunter teams.
"Bang!"
The tiger demon flicked its tail, its steel like tail whipping the air with a crackling sound.
The strong man led by him struggled with his double axes, but with a loud bang, he flew backwards and hit his back against a large tree, bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
"Big brother!" The other four people exclaimed in surprise when they saw the strongest strong man face to face and be knocked away.
"Brothers, be careful of this beast's tail!" The burly man roared and then went to kill the Iron tailed Tiger Demon again.
The strength of this burly and strong man is to refine his body eight times, wielding two axes to fight against the Iron Tailed Tiger Demon.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
Black light arrows flew out one by one, pointing straight at the neck of the Iron tailed Tiger Demon.
However, the speed of the Iron tailed Tiger Demon is very fast. Except for the first arrow that attacked, all other arrows either fell through or even if they hit the Tiger Demon, they could not break through its tough fur.
"Puff!"
The tiger demon pounced angrily and threw a warrior to the ground. With its claws and teeth moving together, it tore the person's body apart, leaving them bloody and lifeless on the spot.
As for the attacks of others, it swung its iron tail and swept across, blocking them all.
"Afei!"
The burly and strong men are about to crack their canthus.
