Chapter 9: Clouded Leopard
Its biggest goal now is to find something to wrap around as soon as possible to fill the day's energy consumption.
Although as a fourth-order spirit beast, these losses were not too damaging, but the strength was still greatly reduced.
And in this state, if you encounter some powerful spirit beasts or human hunting masters, I am afraid that the danger will increase a lot.
Fortunately, it was lucky, and it soon discovered that in a mountain stream not far from the woods, there were many migratory fish swimming down the water, towards the downwind of the mountain range.
This is its usual favorite food, and now that it has been hungry for a whole day, it naturally hopes for a good chunk of flowers, and barely has time to stay, and its figure suddenly appears next to the stream like lightning.
The day's exertion had not overshadowed its remarkable speed, and when it quickly plunged its little head into the water, a small fish that was writhing around had been pecked into its mouth.
These lowest-level, or even low-grade things in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, were indeed born to support the existence of the food chain!
After eating more than a dozen small fish in a row, it was in high spirits, shaking its body, obviously full of energy, but it had been hungry for too long, so it had eaten a little too much, of course, it was still very satisfied, and turned around and walked towards its own hole very proudly.
As it was slowly moving forward, it was in a bush beside it that something suddenly happened.
Suddenly, a hand pecked at it like a snake, and suddenly, its small neck had been clasped by two fingers like iron pincers.
The dangerous aura it suddenly felt actually reappeared, and at this moment, no matter how fast it was, it completely lost its effect.
And this neck, which is where its largest cover door is, is even more immobile for a while, like fish on the felt board, and there is no power to resist.
The palm of the iron tongs naturally did not wait for it to react, and the other hand had already reached horizontally, clamping its head, and forcibly separating it in the forward and backward directions.
With a crisp "click", the neck of this lightning mink fell directly down like a broken kite, and with a kick of its small claws, it was already directly killed.
Immediately after another explosion, the body of this lightning mink burst open, and after a black mist dispersed, in addition to a little flesh and blood, a crystal tiny beast pill suddenly appeared, and was caught in the palm of that hand.
Then he spread his palm, pinched the beast pill, and threw it directly into the cloth bag on his chest, this action was extremely familiar, as if he had done it countless times.
At this moment, a person suddenly stood up in the grass, his young and cold face was expressionless, and there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, looking a little tired.
This person was none other than Cinnabar, who had been hidden in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range for more than three months.
"Okay, you little guy, I've been guarding you all day, it's really a contest of perseverance!" Cinnabar muttered to herself.
A smile of satisfaction began to appear on his face, and for this day, he had not eaten rice in the same water, and had been sticking to this grass by virtue of his strong will.
Although the lightning mink's every move was exposed to his mental watch, it was not easy to catch it.
In addition, before his mind is very different now, he is no longer the impetuous nature of a child, but deliberately exercises his stoic character.
At that moment, he decided that he would be like this lightning mink, guarding here, and he did not even use the spiritual "fixation" technique that he was good at, all with incomparable perseverance, and finally won the final victory in this competition.
Although he killed the lightning mink in front of him, Cinnabar obviously didn't feel too excited.
In the past three months, he has been in the Quadruple Mountain Range personally, I don't know how many spirit beasts he has killed, he has obtained a large number of beast pills and some good things that have exploded, and even his strength has also improved well, but these seem to be far from enough for him.
During this period of time, except for some beast pills that he sold for money to maintain food, clothing, and clothing, most of the others were forcibly refined by him.
After being refined, all of the spiritual power was transformed into the power of the "Tianbao Jiuru" life grid, and it was used on the body of Xiao in the sea of knowledge.
Although the effect is small, it at least ensures that Xiao's soul will not disappear so quickly, and even with his replenishment of energy during this time, Xiao's faint life fire seems to have rebounded a little.
This gratifying result really made him excited, and he also deeply understood that relying on the spiritual power provided so far was obviously not enough.
It is precisely because of the input of life force that Xiao needs that his cultivation during this period of time has also led to his cultivation, although he has improved, he has never taken a step forward.
Not breaking the seventh rank of the cultivation period for three months is really an unforgivable thing.
Cinnabar stood up and looked at the end of the mountain range with burning eyes, and in the distance, it was the five-fold mountain range of the spirit beast after the fourfold, where it must have been a fifth-order spirit beast that had already derived spiritual intelligence.
If you can capture one or two of them and forcibly take the Dan refining alive, then the breakthrough of this cultivator's seventh order should be an easy thing to do.
But now, I can only think about it.
Although his personality is very crazy and impulsive, he also has a clear understanding that it is impossible for him to step into the fifth level of the Spirit Beast Mountain Range before he has advanced to the Great Cultivator stage.
The idiotic thing of sending food for thousands of miles still requires a trace of sanity.
Thinking of this, Cinnabar suddenly felt a sense of longing in his heart, which was the desire to improve his cultivation, and his eyes were full of unyielding fighting intent in the direction of the five-fold mountain range.
Just as he was thinking about it, a cold wind suddenly blew across his face, and there was a very noisy sound behind him, as if some agile object was coming in his direction.
Cinnabar's eyes were cold, and suddenly, the spiritual spied in his mind suddenly released, and almost at the same time, the sudden thing had jumped high in the grass behind him and appeared in front of him.
What kind of spirit beast is this? It's so fast!
A spirit in Cinnabar's heart had already seen the opposite side of him in an instant, but what suddenly appeared there was a clouded leopard.
The clouded leopard has stubby, athletic limbs and a tail that is almost as long as its body. The head is slightly rounded, the muzzle and nose are prominent, and the claws are very large.
It is white on its muzzle, nose, eyes, and chest and abdomen. The tip of the nose is pink, sometimes with black spots. Dark spots cover the head and face, two tear troughs run through the cheeks, and two narrow black lines run through the tear troughs. The pupil is extremely unusual and constricts in a spindle-shaped shape. The round ears have black dots on the back.
Cinnabar is no stranger to it, and this is the guy he has always wanted to meet since he entered the Quadruple Mountain Range.
This clouded leopard is known for its rarity, and its golden body color is covered with large dark cloud-like markings, hence the name "clouded leopard".
What concerns Cinnabar the most is that this clouded leopard's teeth are unusual, with extremely long proportions of canine teeth, a large gap between the canine teeth and the premolars, sharp canine teeth, and two distinct blood grooves on the tongue and lips.
He suddenly became a little excited, he really wanted to come to something, this spirit beast in front of him was none other than a spirit beast at the peak of the fourth order:
"Chai Ya Clouded Leopard!"
