Chapter 26: The First Experience
Early the next morning, Li Wu left the cave alone and began his first killing experience as a monk.
Walking in the dense forest below the mountain, Li Wu carefully probed the subtle sounds and breaths around him, even the slightest shock in the air, even if it was a frightened bird flapping its wings and flying high, it could not escape his keen perception.
When Li Wu first entered the Shenlong Mountain Range, he didn't see a single large spirit beast.
Because at that time, he was just an ordinary person without any spiritual power.
Ordinary people's perception is much lower than that of Mang-level cultivators, and even if there are large spirit beasts nearby, it is difficult for ordinary people to perceive the vigorous spiritual power aura emanating from the spirit beasts.
And now it is completely different, the current Li Wu is already a Qingmang Realm cultivator, and his perception has been greatly improved.
This is not Li Wu's unique ability, every monk above the Mang level has such an ability.
Once a monk completes the foundation building realm and steps into the Baimang Realm, his perception will be significantly improved, especially the perception of the aura of heaven and earth in the natural world, which is the most basic ability of the monk, but there will be differences in the sensitivity of different perceptions of cultivation.
Now Li Wu, from a distance of a few hundred meters, he could detect the vigorous spiritual power aura emanating from the spirit beast's body.
Li Wu walked at the bottom of the jungle for a while, but did not notice that there were large spirit beasts around.
In order to get a better view, he flew up to a towering tree.
Qingmang Realm monks, although they can't do it like a Flying Heaven Realm monk, but they are also good at light skills, and it is not a problem to fly to the eaves and walk on the wall with their own spiritual power, and jumping up to the top of the tree along the trunk is even more pediatric.
Hiding in the canopy and observing for a while, Li Wu soon discovered that there was a first-order spirit beast a few hundred meters away, it was a red-eyed spotted wolf.
A first-order spirit beast already possesses a certain level of spirituality, and has cultivated to a Baimang Realm cultivator equivalent to a human being.
The red-eyed wolf was stalking its prey in the mountains and forests, and its attention was on a red deer in front of it.
Li Wu let go of the red deer, jumped down from the tree, and suddenly appeared in front of the red-eyed spotted wolf.
When they met on a narrow road, both the red-eyed wolf and Li Wu were startled.
The red-eyed spotted wolf was startled because Li Wu, a human, suddenly appeared in front of it.
Li Wu was startled, because he got closer to see that this red-eyed spotted wolf was really too big, one and a half meters tall and more than two meters long, it looked bigger than a tiger, and even more than a cow.
Moreover, this red-eyed spotted wolf has jagged fangs and red eyes, and it looks extremely terrifying.
"Damn humans!"
Although spirit beasts cannot speak, they have long had the minds of ordinary humans.
Seeing that Li Wu was blocking his way, the red-eyed spotted wolf was furious, roared angrily, moved his four legs quickly, opened a pair of blood-red wolf eyes, and pounced on Li Wu at a very fast speed.
Li Wu stabilized his mind, and the Qingmang Realm Dacheng cultivation burst out.
Feeling the coercive momentum released by Li Wu's body, the pupils of the red-eyed spotted wolf shrank slightly.
But it was only a slight shrinkage of the pupils, and the speed of the red-eyed spotted wolf did not slow down, and it had already rushed in front of Li Wu in an instant.
Just seven or eight meters away from Li Wu, the red-eyed spotted wolf rose into the air and bit Li Wu's throat with a bloody mouth.
Maybe it was the red-eyed spotted wolf that sensed that his cultivation was inferior to Li Wu, and wanted to win with his speed advantage.
Normally, beasts are much faster than humans and are more agile than humans.
But Li Wu did not flinch, strode forward, and faced the bloody mouth of the red-eyed spotted wolf with a big punch.
Li Wu is not worried about the wolf's claws hurting him, because the wolf is different from other fierce beasts such as lions, tigers, and leopards, and the wolf's claws cannot be contracted, and they can only be used for running at ordinary times, and basically have no attack power.
With Li Wu's current cultivation, even if the wolf's claws touched him, they wouldn't be able to hurt him.
This punch hit the bloody mouth of the red-eyed wolf, directly shattering the skull of the red-eyed wolf.
The iron fist of the Qingmang Realm cultivator can even shatter stones, and the skull of a first-order spirit beast can be regarded as nothing.
Killed the red-eyed spotted wolf with one punch, Li Wu looked at his fist, and even the flesh skin was not scratched.
"A first-order spirit beast, it looks terrifying, but it's nothing more than that. ”
Li Wu smiled, walked to the corpse of the red-eyed spotted wolf, stood like a knife, cut open the abdomen of the red-eyed spotted wolf, took out a white spirit beast crystal nucleus the size of a sparrow egg, and put it into an animal skin pouch hanging from his waist.
As for the corpse of the red-eyed spotted wolf, give it up directly.
Although Li Wu hadn't eaten meat for a long time, he hadn't even eaten dog meat, and he didn't have any interest in wolf meat.
It was nearly noon, Li Wu ate a few wild fruits, drank some mountain spring water, and continued to sneak in the mountains and forests.
In the next two hours, he found two second-order spirit beasts one after another, a saber-toothed giant leopard with fangs more than a foot long, and a dinosaur bear with hard bone plates on both ribs, and they were all killed by him in three moves and two styles.
A second-order spirit beast, cultivated to the equivalent of a human being, a Qingmang Realm cultivator, and Li Wu is of the same level.
But a spirit beast is a spirit beast, and in front of a human cultivator of the same level who has cultivated systematic exercises, it can't be compared at all.
What's more, Li Wu cultivated exercises from the Divine Domain, which was already one or two small grades higher than the mortal realm cultivators.
With Li Wu's explosive physical talent, coupled with the cultivation bonus of Qingmang Realm Dacheng, dealing with first-order spirit beasts and second-order spirit beasts was as simple as smashing the mud-fetal earth puppets in the temple with an iron hammer.
After killing two second-order spirit beasts, in addition to two spirit beast crystal nuclei the size of pigeon eggs, Li Wu also harvested four fat and large bear paws and a large bear bile, which are very valuable things in the monk world.
The spirit beast crystal nucleus and bear paws were put into the animal skin bag, and the bear bile was directly drunk while it was hot.
For most of the day, killing one first-order spirit beast and two second-order spirit beasts, Li Wu didn't feel any pressure.
Halfway through the Shen period, he found another spirit beast, which was still a red-eyed spotted wolf.
Surprisingly, seeing this red-eyed spotted wolf, Li Wu quickly jumped onto the tree and hid into the dense canopy.
Because this red-eyed spotted wolf is a fourth-order spirit beast that has evolved into a one-horned one, it is equivalent to a human Red Mangrealm monk.
To be precise, this guy is no longer a red-eyed wolf, but has evolved into a red-eyed wolverine.
The Holy Infant told Li Wu that this was the first time in his career as a monk that he had gone out to kill and practice, and he must lack actual combat experience, and when he saw a spirit beast above the third order, it was best to avoid its edge for the time being, and not to risk going to a high-level spirit beast.
Li Wu also knew that his strength had not yet reached the point where he could confront a high-level spirit beast with his bare hands, so he naturally would not be stupid enough to rely on his Qingmang Realm's cultivation to go head-to-head with a fourth-order spirit beast comparable to a Hongmang Realm cultivator.
After dodging the red-eyed Wolverine and seeing that it was not early, Li Wu decided to end today's experience.
But he did not immediately leave the mountain forest and return to the cave, but caught a pheasant and two hares in the mountain forest, and then returned to the cave located halfway up the southern foot of the Dragon Soul Snow Mountain with the pheasant, the hare, and the four bear paws.
Since leaving the Chen family, Li Wu has never eaten meat again, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach have long begun to protest.
In the evening, he would roast pheasants, hares, and bear's paws, and make tooth offerings to satisfy his hunger.
The bear's paw itself is a delicacy in the world, not to mention that it is also a second-order spirit beast that makes great supplements.
After returning to the cave, Li Wu found a flat boulder with a square area of more than ten zhang near the cave, erected a wooden frame on it, and found some dry firewood, skinned the bear's paws, and the pheasant and the hare skinned and hollowed out the internal organs, and hung them directly on the bright charcoal fire and roasted them.
For a Qingmang Realm cultivator, taking fire has become a breeze.
Just find a piece of dry wood, and with one finger you can drill the wood into smoke and sparks.
Li Wu was not worried that the flames would attract enemies.
Most of the beasts were afraid of fire, and when they saw the fire, they were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
As for the hunters and experienced monks who came to hunt spirit beasts in the mountains, they stayed in the mountains for many days, and they often had to make fires and cook, and they didn't dare to be interested in the bonfires lit by other monks at all.
As for those robbers who killed people and oversold goods, they were also the targets of Li Wu's hunting.
Although he hadn't killed anyone yet, he wouldn't mind using the robbers to train his hands if the robbers took the initiative to send them to the door.
Most of the robbers who came to the mountains were low-level monks, and most of them were casual cultivators.
The high-level cultivator has a noble status, and it is impossible for him to run into the mountains to rob a few spirit beast crystal nuclei.
Even if a high-level monk wants to be a robber, he is also a big thief, directly killing the monks of the hostile forces, and then seizing the enemy's treasures, weapons, elixirs, magic weapons, cultivation cheats and other valuables, and he doesn't bother to do these things at all.
The delicacy can't be enjoyed alone, and after the food is baked, Li Wu also summons the Holy Child.
Li Wu held up a hare that had been roasted on a wooden stick to the Holy Child, and said with a smile, "Do you want to taste it?"
The Holy Child licked his lips: "Although the Holy Child is not allowed to eat solid food, I can smell it. ”
After the Holy Child finished speaking, Shin closed his eyes and began to smell it seriously.
"Hmm!"
"Fragrant, so fragrant!"
The Holy Child smelled it, and his mouth was still slurking.
Looking at the funny appearance of the Holy Child, Li Wu's face was also full of happy smiles.
The Holy Child smelled him eating meat, and such a friend deserves to be deeply befriended.
But looking at the hare in front of him, the smile on Li Wu's face quickly became stiff.
Because he found that the hare, which had been smelled by the Holy Child, was losing its luster at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the skin had dried up slightly, and a fresh hare that had been roasted to the outside and tender on the inside turned into a crumpled piece of old bacon in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Li Wu was directly shocked.
He didn't expect the Holy Child's ability to absorb spirits to be so powerful!
A roasted hare can be sucked like this by the Holy Child, if it were a large living person...... Li Wu didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Speaking of which, he also had to thank the Holy Child, and thank the Holy Child for showing mercy to him.
The Holy Spirit Blood has been hanging on his neck for more than ten years, if it weren't for the Holy Child's mercy and not absorbing too much of the aura and true yuan in his body, not to mention that he is strong now, it is estimated that he would have been sucked to the point that only bones and flesh remain.
"Suck it, suck it, let you suck it all at once today!"
Four bear's paws, two hares, a pheasant, and some wild fruits.
Today's food was rich enough, and Li Wu simply threw another bear paw to the Holy Child.
