Chapter 67: A Thunderbolt from the Clear
Li Ji's heart was already hesitant a second ago because he relied on his own strength or relied on the young beast to get out of the forest. If it takes a long time for the young beast to increase its level, then Li Ji feels that he still wants to use this long time to improve his strength by his own efforts, so as to get out of the forest, but if the young beast can really improve its strength in a short period of time like this, then leaving the forest with the protection of the young beast is also a good choice in Li Ji's opinion, at least this can allow him to leave here in the shortest possible time and go outside to find a way to return to the earth. Therefore, when he finally left the forest as sheltered by the young beast to convince himself, he suddenly heard the young beast's answer like a thunderbolt in the sky, so that Li Ji could not be shocked and annoyed, he felt that he was like a clown, weighing the so-called pros and cons in his mind, and in fact, there was no such assumption as he thought he was, it was all his own speculation, and it was shattered under the young beast's answer.
After staring at the young beast for a while, Li Ji came to his senses.
"That means it's no fun?" Li Ji still asked again with some unacceptability, hoping that the young beast could give him hope.
It's just that the ending is already doomed, and the young beast's answer is not as Li Ji wants, and his little fantasy is finally ruthlessly shattered.
"You said that you have refined a little bit of the Holy Rank Demon Core these days, then why do I feel that the Holy Rank Demon Core has not been refined by you during the sparring!
"I did refine a little bit, but it didn't look obvious, I don't believe you. As he spoke, the young beast spit out the fist-sized fiery red Saint Rank Demon Core from its mouth, and slowly floated and hovered in front of Li Ji's eyes.
Looking at the Holy Rank Demon Core that seemed to have endless magical power, Li Ji carefully observed, looking for the trace of refining in the young beast's mouth, he thought that he had been practicing against the young beast these days, and it was impossible to ignore such important information. The forest is full of dangers, and the danger is often in the subtleties that are very different, if you fail to find the subtle changes of the opponent when fighting with other demonic beasts in the future, you are likely to fall behind and be subject to the enemy, this is a matter of life and death, Li Ji dare not ignore it. If it is really as the young beast said, then it shows that Li Ji's own observation ability needs to be improved. Therefore, even if Li Ji was already injured at this time, he held on to his spirit, staring at the suspended Holy Order Demon Core in front of him with his eyes, and carefully scanning back and forth like radar.
Not to mention, after Li Ji's careful observation, he really discovered that little subtlety. The fist-sized Saint-Rank Demon Core didn't seem to have changed much from before, but after Li Ji carefully observed, he found that the originally tough water chestnut of the Saint-Rank Demon Core had become a little smoother, this change was indeed not too obvious compared to before, at least it was much smaller than the fourth-level Wind System Demon Core that the young beast took out just now, and it was no wonder that Li Ji hadn't found anything these days, the change was too small, so small that Li Ji had to put it in front of him and observe it carefully to find the difference.
The power of the Holy Rank Demon Core had already been witnessed by Li Ji, but if the young beast could be upgraded to the fourth level after only refining it a little bit, the effect would still greatly exceed his expectations. At this moment, Li Ji had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and the expression on his face seemed to be tangled and painful, if he didn't know that this Holy Order Demon Core was useless to himself, he would have wanted to get a piece of the pie with the young beast. It's no wonder that Li Ji is too tempting. Sometimes Li Ji even thinks that even if the young beast is the darling of the heavens, but this is too much spoiled! Compared to the strength he finally gained at the risk of almost being wiped out at the risk of his small life, the young beast is simply like cheating, which makes Li Ji's heart extremely unbalanced. The only thing that makes Li Ji feel relieved is that the young beast is still his person, and he can listen to him, although it eats a lot, but at present, it is precisely with the protection of the young beast that he has been able to live until now, otherwise the problem of drinking water alone can make him thirsty to death.
The jealousy of the psychological imbalance only flashed in Li Ji's heart. Although Li Ji has been pitted by the young beast several times, he knows that those are the unintentional mistakes of the young beast, and in the young beast's heart, he has long regarded him as a relative, otherwise he would not be willing to block the blow of the fourth-level wind wolf for him. The jealousy that emerged in Li Ji's heart just now was not because he didn't regard the young beast as his own, but because of the gap caused by the imbalance of fate, which made him lose his mind for a while. After the adjustment, Li Ji was still happy to see that the young beast could improve its strength so quickly. After all, he knew that he could only strengthen himself through hard training step by step, as his partner, since the young beast had a shortcut, even if Li Ji knew that the shortcut was not suitable for him, he was willing to be happy for the young beast.
Looking at the Saint-Rank Demon Core that had barely changed, Li Ji suddenly wondered how long it would take for the young beast to completely refine it, after all, it was related to whether he could get out of the forest as soon as possible, because if it was according to the speed of his strength, then the time to leave might not be fast. Originally, Li Ji was groping blindly like a blind man, without the guidance of his predecessors, he didn't know if he would encounter any bottlenecks, in case the card failed to break through in the last few years, it would be his own life.
"Then how long will it take for you to completely refine this Saint-level Demon Core, and how many levels can you reach after fully refining?"
"I don't know when I'll be able to fully refine it, in my inheritance memory, almost always after reaching the Holy Rank can I have the opportunity to defeat other Holy Rank Demonic Beasts and plunder their demon cores. Generally speaking, it is rare for a Warcraft to get a Saint-Rank Demon Core before the Holy Order, unless it encounters a Saint-level Warcraft that fights with each other and ends up together, and picks it up halfway. As for refining the Holy Rank Demon Core, I will definitely be able to reach the sixth level, and I believe that it is not far from the seventh order. The young beast tilted its little head and thought about it and replied, squinting his eyes and showing a happy smile when he thought that he had refined the entire Saint Rank Demon Core, obviously also entering the longing of fantasizing about his strength after a great increase.
Li Ji frowned and thought for a while, his eyes seemed to stare at and think, "Sixth level? Approaching the holy level, that is, almost becoming an adult, how long will it take? I'm afraid it will take several years! By then, I should also have a little self-preservation power in this forest, and it may not be a problem to deal with a third-level demonic beast." The third-level demonic beasts that Li Ji's mind thought of were those earth-based wild boar demonic beasts that lived in groups with rough skin and thick flesh, recalling the majesty of the wild boar demonic beasts when they charged before, Li Jian still swallowed his saliva unconsciously, a little unconfident, he was wondering if he had set the goal too high, and whether he would have the ability to defeat the third-level wild boar demonic beasts in a few years, in fact, he had no bottom in his heart.
After the young beast released the Holy Rank Demon Core to Li Ji, it swallowed it back into its belly. The simple-minded one does not have as much sentimentality as Li Ji, and it has to consider all kinds of possibilities that exist or do not exist, and plan a confused future that cannot be seen or touched.
Li Ji was a little curious at this time, if there was no Holy Rank Demon Core, how long would it take for the young beast to reach the realm of a Saint-rank Demon Beast. So he asked the cubs.
"If you don't have a Saint-Rank Demon Core, how long will it take you to reach adulthood under normal circumstances?"
At this time, the young beast was still looking at Li Jilai lying on the ground strangely, and he didn't know why he looked so tired when he didn't have many scars on the outside, as if he was going to hang up soon. After hearing Li Ji's question, he replied: "About 200 to 400 years!"
"What the hell? 200 to 400 years? Are you kidding? That's enough for me to die five or six times. Li Ji immediately exploded, according to the young beast's statement, then he can't afford to accompany him. In his eyes, a long life is already a luxury, not to mention a long time of 200 to 400 years, even if it is a sea of dry and rotten love, it is not so! However, then Li Ji suddenly thought of a question.
"You have to be an adult for so long, so how long can you demonic beasts live?" Li Ji asked with a little apprehension.
"After reaching the Holy Rank, if nothing else, it will be able to live for more than a thousand years!" the young beast replied after thinking about it, and by the way, it also clicked, as if it hadn't thought about how big a critical blow this would be to Li Jizhao.
At this moment, Li Ji was completely messy, he didn't expect this world to be so crazy, he didn't doubt the truth of what the young beast said, because the young beast had no reason to lie to him at all, even if the young beast was occasionally unreliable in his eyes, but in this kind of non-difficult question, he believed that the young beast would not make a mistake.
"A lifespan of 1,000 years, this is really against the sky! China is only 5,000 years old, and its 1,000 years is equivalent to several dynasties. Is this due to the fact that this world is too magical to delay the lifespan of creatures, or is it just because of the special nature of magical beasts, only they can have such a long life?"
Li Ji's head was as big as a fight at this time, his heart was completely confused, and he didn't know what to do for a while. According to the young beast, then he will definitely not be able to leave the forest safely in a short period of time with the protection of the young beast, and can only rely on his own efforts to improve his strength to a certain level, and then choose the opportunity to leave with the young beast when he has the ability to escape. After all, if he doesn't have a certain strength, and at the same time the young beast doesn't have absolute force to protect him, then when he encounters danger, I'm afraid that both of them will be dragged into the quagmire of battle, and it is likely that it will be difficult to get out and fall into a life-threatening situation.
A question flashed through Li Ji's mind in a hurry, why did the young beast say that it would be 200 to 400 years to reach adulthood, you must know that there was a difference of 200 years in between! What was the reason for such a completely different result, maybe there were other shortcuts in it.
"Why is there such a long difference in the time for your Saint-rank demonic beasts to become adults?" Li Ji asked expectantly.
"Oh! This is determined by resources, if there are enough resources, it will be fast to become an adult, and if there are few resources, it will be slow to become an adult!"
"Resources, what resources?" Seeing that there seemed to be a way to do this, Li Ji hurriedly asked.
"Of course, the resource is the magic core, but also the fire attribute magic core, and some treasures and the like, such as the Lingzhi we ate before, that is a good baby. Speaking of this, the young beast still remembered with a yearning face, as if the Ganoderma lucidum was a rare delicacy for it, which made it unforgettable.
"Demon cores, does that mean that as long as you have enough demon cores, you can quickly reach the holy level?" Li Ji suddenly said with some excitement. But then he asked, "By the way, how many magic cores do you need?"
"It's a lot, and I don't know exactly how much. If it is a fire attribute demon core of the same level as me, it will probably take dozens of them to upgrade to one level! The best fire attribute demon core to refine is the same level as mine, so that the efficiency of my refining and absorption will be high, and the speed of improvement will be faster. Of course, a level higher is not bad, the worst choice is a demon core one level lower than my level, that kind of magic core is too little refining improvement for me. However, it is still much faster than automatically absorbing the fire attribute elements scattered around it. ”
"Dozens of fire attribute demon cores have been upgraded by one level? or are they still of the same level? Isn't this a joke?" You must know that Li Ji has already deeply experienced the misery after being beaten by the group, and now that the young beast is almost about to rise to the fourth level, then won't he have to kill dozens of fourth-level fire attribute demonic beasts to be promoted to the fifth level? Although Li Ji is not afraid of ordinary fire now, it is a fourth-level demonic beast! It is an existence that he can't avoid. What's more, after the young beast is promoted to the fifth level, the one to deal with will become a fifth-level demonic beast, which is really fatal!
Seeing that the shortcut was in front of him, but Li Ji could only watch, even if he borrowed his leopard guts, he didn't dare to try.
