It was nearly evening, and the sun reached the sky in the west, dyeing the clouds on the horizon red.

In the forest, Maple Creek crouched behind the dense grass, observing the surrounding environment from time to time, following the growth of the grass and trees, cautiously moving forward, looking for food.

Food is the beasts that roam in the wilderness.

Since he started cultivating, Feng Xi has always been responsible for the supply of food, and according to Rong Cheng's meaning, it must contain beasts.

In Rong Cheng's words, the most important thing in cultivation is to skillfully use one's own spiritual power, exerting a strength far beyond ordinary people, and hunting fierce beasts is a good means of practice to a certain extent.

Between the test of life and death, one's own potential can be maximized, and the fit of spiritual power and the proficiency of use can be improved, so that you will not have empty spiritual power, but you have to rely on your bare hands to deal with the enemy.

Of course, the most important thing is that the cultivation journey is not dull, it is inevitable to fight with people and the sky, there will be countless swords and soldiers facing each other, and you can learn a lot of combat experience from fighting with fierce beasts, which can be regarded as doing some advance training for the future.

So, basically every day, Maple Creek would go out to hunt.

All things have spirits and can be cultivated, and the same is true for beasts.

In the early stage, the cultivation of beasts was much easier than that of humans, and basically after a period of birth, they would naturally enter the Gathering Spirit Realm.

After reaching the Gathering Spirit Realm, the beasts will stand out from the ordinary fierce beasts, and the spirit beasts will begin to become their synonyms.

Spirit beasts are divided into three levels, corresponding to the top three realms of cultivation, with Fengxi's current strength, they can deal with first-order spirit beasts, and they can't even beat them, after all, the spiritual power is under the same level, and the physique of beasts far exceeds that of humans.

Although Fengxi has been strengthening his body since he was a child, he is only slightly stronger than ordinary people, and without the blessing of cultivation, the strength of his physique is always capped, and the upper limit will not be very high.

Fortunately, the spirit beasts in the early stage did not know how to use the power of spiritual power, and there was a slight possibility of resistance.

Fengxi's hunting object is naturally a spirit beast, and in the past few months, every time he encounters a spirit beast, he will always be a little stronger than him, and it takes a little effort to subdue it, and injuries are commonplace, not easy.

As for the source of the spirit beast, it came and went, Fengxi didn't have to think about it to know, it was all arranged by Rong Cheng, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental every time, just right to fight with him back and forth, not too weak to have a combat effect, and not too strong to face.

Looking around coldly, Fengxi exuded his perception and observed cautiously.

It is said to be an observation, but in fact, it is constantly looking for the target object, and the purpose is cautious, just to know the enemy to be faced first, to strike first, to take the advantage, and at the same time to prevent the sneak attack of the spirit beast.

Bypassing a section of tall grass, after checking that there was nothing unusual, an extremely subtle sound of grass movement sounded, and it reached Fengxi's ears.

The moment he heard the movement, Fengxi didn't think about it, and left the place with a backward leap and disappeared into the grass.

As a person who grew up in a village where hunting is traditional, Fengxi has a deep understanding of some matters related to hunting, coupled with the hunting practice of real spirit animals in the past few months, the two are mutually corroborative, and he is now a good hunter.

The sound of grass movement is inaudible, and it means that the distance between the two is not far, and the surrounding weeds are overgrown, and a spirit beast quietly approached so close that he didn't find it, and to a large extent, it had been discovered by the other side, and it was constantly approaching and waiting for an opportunity.

If it is found, then it makes a noise to indicate that it has moved.

Sure enough. As soon as Maple Creek's front feet left the spot, a gray shadow swept out of the grass and landed where Maple Creek had been before.

The powerful impact spread, and the front paws of the gray shadow smashed through the criss-crossing cracks on the ground, and the ground under his feet sank slightly, crushing a pile of grass and raising a cloud of dust.

If such an attack fell on Fengxi, without any defense, it would definitely be a life.

After a failed blow, Gray Shadow was obviously dissatisfied, his face was hideous, his fangs were exposed, and he pounced again in the direction of Maple Creek's leap, his sharp claws shining bloodthirsty in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Fengxi couldn't sit still, and when he jumped into the grass on the side, he took out a short sword, which was given to him by Rong Cheng, and he kept it with him all the time, staying in the wild, how could he do it without a weapon.

As the Gray Shadow jumped over, Maple Creek quickly rolled to the side for a distance, then took a step forward, and while the Gray Shadow was in the air, he held a short sword and stabbed it in the abdomen with an extremely tricky point, bringing a piercing chill to the bone.

In any case, the abdomen is a relatively weak place, and the effect obtained by attacking there is much better than that of other places, and the beast target is also large, and the first point of attack is basically the abdomen.

Gray Shadow didn't expect the prey to react so quickly, at this time it was in mid-air, and it was difficult to use its strength, so it could only swing its front paws towards Fengxi's hand, slightly deviating its body from the short sword.

The speed at which Gray Shadow swung his claws was very fast, and without thinking too much about it, Feng Xi accelerated the speed of stabbing forward, and after stabbing the abdomen and leaving a small wound, he quickly discarded the short sword, retracted his hand, and rubbed against Gray Shadow's claws, leaving two shallow scratches on the back of his hand.

The moment he turned around, before the gray shadow landed and had not yet gained a firm foothold, Fengxi mobilized the spiritual power in the dantian, which flowed on the surface of the body, forming a faint energy film, and slammed towards the gray shadow.

In an instant, the spiritual power bubbled and poured out, and a low collision sound sounded, as if hitting a hill, and the gray shadow pushed out backwards, rolling out several meters on the ground, rubbing a long trace.

At the same time, Feng Xi felt that his internal organs were trembling, and he was also a little overwhelmed by the reaction force of the impact.

After rolling a few laps and getting up from the ground, the gray shadow did not attack immediately, and wandered in a low roar not far away, a few wisps of blood flowed out of his abdomen, saliva dripped down his fangs and fell to the ground, and his eyes were wide like copper bells glaring at Fengxi, looking ready to attack.

At this time, Fengxi saw the appearance of the spirit beast clearly, from the appearance, the body length is more than two meters, about half a meter high, a gray hair, a few strands of snow-white whiskers on both sides of the big mouth, which is particularly eye-catching in a piece of gray.

Relying on the knowledge of beasts that he had mastered and learned from Rong Cheng, Fengxi immediately recognized its species, the White-bearded Tiger.

The white-bearded tiger has a trace of the blood of the divine beast White Tiger, and its strength is also in the forefront among the spirit beasts of the same level, not only the cultivation speed is fast, but in terms of physique, it is also a bit of a tough pervert.

"I said that although the blow just now was not strong enough, it did not leave only a wound that was not painful or itchy, and it turned out to be a white-bearded tiger. Maple Creek's attention was always on the white-bearded tiger, paying attention to its every move.

At present, Feng Xi felt a little troubled, with the current realm, it was difficult to cause any effective trauma to the white-bearded tiger, and the size was nearly twice as large as the spirit beast he had encountered before, and the spirit beast released by the teacher seemed to be slightly out of line.

A man and a beast stalemate for a long time, the white-bearded tiger took the lead and couldn't help it, broke the deadlock with an angry roar, and rushed towards Fengxi with fierce steps, bringing a gust of wind along the way, blowing the grass on both sides.

It is impossible to collide with the white-bearded tiger, with Fengxi's small body can't withstand it at all, just a trick just now, it caused the effect of repulsion when it was defenseless, and it is definitely not an opponent in a head-on confrontation.

Taking a step away from the momentum, Feng Xi used his spiritual power to gather in his right leg, raised his foot and kicked towards the abdomen of the white-bearded tiger, the target was naturally the wound that had been stabbed earlier.

The white-bearded tiger had already prepared, after Fengxi kicked out of the foot, it threw itself out of the way, opened its bloody mouth, and bit towards Fengxi's right leg and thigh, a mouthful of sharp fangs, if it was bitten, it would be either broken or crippled.

Feng Xi stopped the attack of his right leg, and under the operation of his spiritual power, he raised his left leg and kicked it on the face of the white-bearded tiger, and retreated a distance in the air with the help of his strength, and came to the place where the short sword fell.

Quickly picking up the short sword, the white-bearded tiger seemed to follow Fengxi's previous attack, and also attacked quickly, so fast, he came to Fengxi in the blink of an eye.

There is no way to avoid it, and Fengxi uses all of his spiritual power to form a barrier in front of him, ready to resist a wave.

Seeing this situation, traces of spiritual power operation appeared on the surface of the white-bearded tiger's body, and it hit the barrier in front of Feng Xi, directly breaking through.

Fortunately, after breaking through, the white-bearded tiger's figure was blocked and stagnated, and the remaining strength poured out, knocking Fengxi out of the air, and slammed into a tree, causing the leaves to fly.

"Ahem......" Fengxi coughed, with a little blood on the corner of his mouth, he endured the pain, regardless of the body that seemed to be about to fall apart, he hurriedly got up, limped back, and hid in the grass to relieve the attack of the white-bearded tiger.

At this time, his spiritual power had been exhausted, and there was no possibility of fighting again.
