Chapter 23: Survival of the Fittest (3)
(PS: Recommend a absolutely wonderful book. "The Supreme Lord of Online Games" is not to be missed!)
As a good friend of Pong Hai, I naturally know about his past experiences. Although what Pong Hai said was somewhat extreme, it wasn't entirely unreasonable! In history, on the Qingyun continent, there were too many tragic cases of people being killed or having their families exterminated due to lack of strength. Sometimes, just because of a single 500-year-old spiritual herb, it would attract fatal disaster! To avoid being killed, one had no choice but to learn how to kill, adapt to killing, in order to survive better.
Having grasped the meaning, the four people's gazes became increasingly resolute. Chang Sheng said loudly: "Then let us start from today, from this moment on, with all the spiritual beasts in the Misty Forest as our target, to adapt to killing! Enhance our actual combat experience and make preparations for the future Outer Sect exams."
"Good!" The three Pang Hai exclaimed in unison.
"Now that we've learned to adapt, our task now is to dissect these two spiritual beasts and cut off all the valuable things on their bodies. This is our spoils of war!" Chang Sheng shouted loudly after glancing around.
This time, the three of them did not respond loudly. Nie Chen and Duan Yun crouched down on the spot, took out the knives they had prepared in their bosoms, and began to skin the wolves, while Pang Hai also walked to the corpse of the wolf dog that Chang Sheng had killed, crouched down, and started working with his hands.
"To become stronger, for Father, I will stop at nothing to improve my cultivation!" Chang Sheng's heart became more determined than ever before. He turned around and came to Pang Hai's side, together they dissected the corpse of this wolf-like dog.
Because it was the first time they had dealt with a spiritual beast's corpse, the fur, flesh, and bones were all taken out somewhat unevenly. The shape was also completely different from the standard shape described in the "Spiritual Beast Spectrum". But this was after all the first spoils of war for the four of them! No matter what shape these items took, they made the four of them, who had been young and ignorant, shed their immature appearance and become more mature.
The four of them charged forward on the path to becoming stronger! Years later, when the four had become the Four Greats who roamed the continent, someone asked about their first battle. The four smiled in unison and said in perfect sync: "It was the Misty Forest that changed our fate, giving us the heart to become strong!"
……
In the following days, the first-tier spirit beasts on the periphery of the Misty Forest could be said to have suffered a disaster. As long as they didn't come out in groups to forage at the same time, any three or fewer spirit beasts that left their tribe would almost certainly not return.
Chang Sheng and the other three have accumulated a wealth of actual combat experience over the past few days. The Radiant Six Swords Thirty-six Forms are no longer stiff, with each move and style perfectly in place. The coordination between the four is also increasingly tacit.
A better explanation is that fighting is the fastest way to improve one's strength! In these few days, Chang Sheng and four others also became careless, allowing Duan Yun and Pang Hai to suffer some minor injuries. However, in subsequent battles, the four of them became increasingly cautious and their tacit understanding deepened, making it possible for them to unleash their full strength with ease!
Yesterday, although some dangers were encountered, they still passed through safely. After ten days of fierce battle, the four of them killed a total of 39 first-class spiritual beasts, obtaining 39 beast dan, 20 complete pelts, and seven types of spiritual beast blood and flesh. According to Pang Hai's estimate, in these five days, the four people's income was at least 20 pieces of low-grade spiritual stone per person. It can be said that it was a great harvest!
