The short distance of a few meters made Li Ji feel as if he was thousands of miles apart. The painful pulling sensation of the body being pieced together like a falling shelf was particularly prominent when walking, Li Ji didn't know if his internal organs were knocked out by those first-level demonic beasts, but he knew through the pain in his abdomen and the blood that had not stopped spilling from his mouth that there must be some damage in his abdomen and chest, and it was not a minor injury. If it were on Earth, I am afraid that I would have to open the belly and sew it up, but here, without those conditions, Li Ji could only rely on the recovery ability of his body, plus those dried meat in the space ring to heal his injuries.

Not long after, the blood stains that were originally stained on Li Ji's body washed down as if he had been drenched in heavy rain, turning into pink vertical lines painted on his body, accompanied by that staggering pace, suddenly showing a sense of sadness.

For Li Ji, this battle can be described as a lose-lose situation. While he proved his strength, he was also seriously injured, which made even simple actions difficult now, and it can be regarded as a loss-making deal.

In fact, at this time, Li Ji felt that he was still overestimating his own strength, and at the same time underestimating the strength of those first-level demonic beasts, if they were really united, even if they tried their best to kill him, then he would probably be difficult to stand here at this moment.

This difficult battle also sounded the alarm for Li Ji, letting him know that when there are a large number of opponents, they must not be despised because of their weak individual strength, otherwise they will pay a painful price, unless their strength is already in a crushing state. Otherwise, Li Ji decided that in the future battle, he would never let himself recklessly challenge the demonic beasts of an entire race, because the facts have proved that it is obviously not a wise choice, especially Li Jian is still challenging them in the opponent's lair this time, which will undoubtedly touch their bottom line, fortunately this time he encountered a group of first-level demonic beasts who are not good at fighting, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When Li Ji walked to the second-level demonic beast that had died with great difficulty, his mind moved, and his body was included in the space ring.

After putting away the second-level demonic beast, Li Jian folded his hands and leaned on the hilt of the giant sword, as if relieved, leaning on the sword to rest.

The cool breeze passed over the side, and Li Ji thought on a whim whether he should make a crutch and put it in the space ring for backup, otherwise he might not be able to have the strength to pick up the giant sword under his hand and walk when he was injured in the future, you must know that the reason why he walked so slowly just now, in addition to the cause of the pain, the giant sword used to replace the crutch is also an important factor, if it weren't for the fact that there were still some remnants of the blood qi in his body, he could barely rely on the power of the blood qi to support it, he was afraid that he would have to crawl over.

Li Ji raised his eyes to look at the first-level demonic beasts that had not fled far, and some of them seemed to be not very sharp in their actions like him, I don't know if they were injured by Li Ji with a giant sword or the sequelae of their collision when they attacked Li Ji. At this time, Li Ji, who was full of pain, didn't have the heart to speculate about that, he really wanted to lie down and sleep now, and forget the pain and troubles in his deep sleep. It's a pity that even as the victorious side, Li Ji doesn't dare to leave his willfulness here, whose combat power is close to zero, and his heart is not yet big enough to that extent. Therefore, after the blood qi in his body was exhausted, Li Ji fell on the spot and lay flat on the grass, while taking back the giant sword to the spatial ring. His tired eyes looked in the direction he had come, and he shouted a few times with all his might.

After a while, Li Ji's eyes saw the small brain melon of the young beast emerging from the small slope opposite.

Li Ji beckoned to the young beast with great effort and asked it to come over, now he has no ability to go back by himself, so he can only trouble the young beast and let it camel him back like the last time.

It didn't take long for the young beast to come running up. After seeing Li Ji's miserable appearance, its stupid eyes suddenly widened, obviously a little difficult to accept for a while, in its small brain melon concept, the combat power of that group of first-level demonic beasts is not worth mentioning at all, it really can't figure out why Li Ji has been planted in their hands several times, and these days there is it as a sparring partner, which further enhances Li Ji's strength. Although in its eyes, Li Ji's performance was not very good, but in its opinion, at least it was not a problem to deal with those first-level demonic beasts. As for why Li Ji is doing this now, it is still a little puzzled, wondering if it is because Li Ji is too stupid. Of course, the young beast didn't dare to say what it was thinking in its heart at the moment, if it made Li Ji unhappy, then it would have no food in the future. Therefore, as soon as the young beast's eyes rolled around, he asked through his consciousness: "How is it, how many have you killed this time, can you go back to add vegetables?"

Although the young beast's expression did not change slowly, after all, he was still young and his acting skills were limited, how could he hide from Li Ji, a person who ate more salt than meat. Therefore, Li Jian saw through the young beast's careful thinking at a glance, but he didn't say anything, but responded to the young beast's questioning.

"This time I killed a second-level demonic beast, that body size can withstand two heads, rest assured, this time you led the way is also considered meritorious, plus as compensation for your sparring these days, I will give you more food when I go back, and your benefits are indispensable." ”

"A second-level demonic beast is also a fire attribute?" Hearing Li Ji say that, the young beast asked with some expectation.

"Yes!" Li Ji was a little confused, so he didn't know why the young beast who usually only cared about the amount of food would care so much about this second-level demonic beast this time.

"That's great, so I can level up a little faster. The young beast's excited tone echoed in Li Ji's mind for a long time, obviously overjoyed.

"Upgrade?

"That's my level!" said the young beast happily.

"You mean you're about to go to the fourth level?" Li Ji said in disbelief.

"Uh-huh!" the young beast narrowed with a smile.

"No!" Li Ji was powerless to complain in his heart, he really couldn't imagine that he had just defeated those first-level demonic beasts, and he thought that his strength had improved, and the gap with the young beasts was narrowing. Unexpectedly, the young beast directly gave him a big surprise, and he was about to be promoted to the fourth level. Level 4! That's level 4! Li Ji still clearly remembers how powerful the strength of the level 4 demonic beast is, the fourth-level wind wolf at the beginning injured the young beast with a wind blade, and the explicit wound now thinks about it, Li Ji still feels like it is in front of him.

This is one thing to be happy about, the strength of the young beast is about to rise, and the survival guarantee of the two of them will definitely improve, Li Ji should be happy. But now he can't be happy, the strength gap that he finally narrowed was opened again in a blink of an eye, and this time it was pulled bigger, although Li Ji, who still has self-esteem, does not mind surviving under the protection of the young beast, but he is more eager to gain a firm foothold in this land with his own strength, this is not only a matter of self-esteem, but also the goal that Li Ji has dreamed of surpassing these days has been raised again, and the deadline for achieving it is becoming more and more distant.

However, after all, Li Ji has experienced many life and death tests, and his mentality quickly adjusted. The increase in the strength of the young beast has caused a certain blow to him. However, Li Ji, who took returning to the earth as the ultimate goal, still carried this blow, and now he only wanted to leave the forest first, as for the next plan, it depended on the situation, and he could only plan a general direction without knowing the specific situation outside. The strength of the young beast has become stronger, and there is not too much conflict with Li Ji's request that he can leave the forest with his own strength, he still has to rely on himself. So after thinking it through, he let it go.

Li Ji knew that the young beast could strengthen its strength by refining the magic core, but he didn't know what the mystery was, remembering that the young beast had said that its mother's holy rank demon core was still difficult for it to refine, and it had devoured the demon core of the fourth-level demon beast before. Li Ji wondered, could it be that the fourth-level demon core made the young beast speed up its advancement.

"The wind wolf's demon core that you swallowed earlier has been refined?" Li Ji asked, staring at the young beast.

"No, look. The young beast didn't know why Li Ji asked this, but when it opened its small mouth, it spit out a two-finger-sized cyan six-sided diamond-shaped crystal, Li Ji glanced at it, and recognized that it was the demon core of the fourth-level wind wolf, but now the magic core in front of him looked like the original regular edges and corners had become more rounded, and it was obviously refined a little by the young beast.

"After refining so much, you are about to be promoted to the fourth level?" Li Jian asked with some unacceptability.

"No, this is a wind-attribute magic core, even if I refine it all, it won't increase my level. The cub explained.

"Do you mean that even if you refine it, it's useless? Then why do you still eat it? Don't you get borched? Even if you have good teeth, you can't go hungry! That thing looks hard and hard. Li Ji was a little speechless, and he had a new understanding of the foodie attributes of the young beast.

"It's not completely useless, it's just that it's a wind-attribute demon core, and I refined it to strengthen my proficiency in refining the fourth-level demon core, so that when I get the fourth-level fire attribute demon core in the future, I can refine it faster. ”

"Then how did you get to the fourth level so quickly?" Li asked puzzledly, hearing that he was indeed a little stunned now.

"Of course, I have refined a little bit of that Saint-level Demon Core!, otherwise how could I have reached the fourth level so quickly. "The young beast said as a matter of course.

Facing the young beast's answer, Li Ji was even more puzzled, "But didn't you say that your level is still too low, and it is difficult to refine that Saint-rank Demon Core?"

"This was true before, but didn't I eat half of the Lingzhi? The medicinal effect of that Lingzhi can make me more clearly perceive the fire attribute magic power contained in the Holy Rank Demon Core, and the Lingzhi itself has the effect of accelerating the fusion of fire attribute magic, which makes it much easier for me to refine the Holy Rank Demon Beast, so I can quickly rise to the fourth level in such a short period of time. ”

"The half of Lingzhi?"

"Oh! I see. Li Ji only then understood, why the young beast became so dead and heavy after falling asleep these days, and it wouldn't wake up without pushing it, it turned out that it was refining the Holy Rank Demon Core, Li Ji thought it was because it had some sequelae after eating that half of the Lingzhi, and became lazy and sleepy.

"In this way, you can keep this speed until you have completely refined that Saint-level demon core?" Li Ji silently praised his wit, feeling that his guess was close to the truth. He even began to fantasize that he would be able to leave the forest soon by leaning on the big tree of the young beast. Unfortunately, the young beast's answer directly sent his follow-up back to the prototype.

"No, the medicinal power of that Lingzhi has already been consumed by me this morning, so in the future, my refining speed of the Holy Rank Demon Core will slow down again. ”

The smile on Li Jicai's cheeks fell sharply as the young beast's answer fell, and his straight eyes seemed to say, "What did you say?
