Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Black Cat

"It's actually still a second-order demon core?" Li Ling sat on the edge of the small waterhole next to the stone crevice, the blood-stained echinoderm pig demon core in his hand had been cleaned by him, and the round demon core was flowing with pale cyan wood spiritual power and a wisp of residual thornskin pig spirit.

"Aren't the echinoderm pigs all first-order demon beasts?" Although Li Ling was a little puzzled, where could he know about the adventures of this echinoderm pig, so he thought about it for a while, and then left it behind and stopped tangling.

Casually putting the demon core into the storage bag, Li Ling began to dispose of the thorny pig's leg he had cut. The reason why he took the initiative to find and attack demon beasts was to hunt some raw meat to roast and eat. If he didn't eat anything, he was afraid that he would starve to death before the demon beast attacked him.

After collecting some dead branches and dry wood, Li Ling built a simple fire, but how to make a fire stumped him.

Is it difficult to drill wood for fire?

After pondering for a while, Li Ling suddenly slapped his head, picked up the black jade sword embryo and wrapped it around the "molten gold" sword momentum of "Chixiao Sword Duel". The temperature of the sword body continued to rise, and Li Ling brought the red and red-hot sword embryo close to the dry bark used to ignite the fire, and after a while, with a wisp of light smoke, a faint flame rose to the ground.

It's done!

Li Ling hurriedly added some thin and short dead branches, and his movements were very gentle and cautious, and he didn't even dare to come out, for fear that he would accidentally blow out the faint flame in front of him.

The flames devoured the firewood with a crackling sound, and after a few pieces of wood were filled in, the flames gradually stabilized. Li Ling tore off some strips of meat from the pig's leg, skewered them with branches, and inserted them upside down by the fire.

As the flame scorched, the pork gradually turned golden brown, and grains of fat seeped out like droplets. The tempting aroma of barbecue overflowed, Li Ling's stomach "growled" again, he had been hungry for a long time at this time, he didn't care about what was raw and cooked, I saw that he picked up a strip of meat and was not afraid of being hot, so he stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it in a big mouthful.

What Li Ling didn't expect was that the meat of this spiny pig was evenly fattened and lean, and the taste was excellent, even if it was not accompanied by any seasoning sauce, it did not hinder its deliciousness at all. Although it was the first time for Li Ling to try wild barbecue, it was still very satisfying to get such results.

Just when Li Ling was eating a lot of food and eating Haisai, a small black shadow suddenly came out of the bushes on the side, walked lightly to the pig's leg that Li Ling threw on the edge of the waterhole, lowered his head and sniffed, and then put on a rather humane disgusted face.

Li Ling ate with a mouth full of oil, but Yu Guang still noticed this uninvited guest, the small black shadow was a cat-shaped demon beast, the whole body was pure black, the fur was soft like satin, the eyes were amber, and the eyes that looked at Li Ling were slightly vigilant, and there were two tails behind him.

Its aura was much weaker than that of ordinary first-order demon beasts, which was also the reason why Li Ling was not in a hurry to make a move.

The black cat was not afraid of life, I saw it swaggering to the opposite side of Li Ling, sitting down obediently, gently shaking its two tails, and its eyes were aimed at the roast meat on the branches of the tree, intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Ling saw the black cat's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, reached out and picked a piece of barbecue and threw it in front of it.

The black cat was startled at first, and made an attack posture with bared teeth at Li Ling, but after seeing clearly that it was food flying towards him, it returned to its well-behaved appearance.

Lowered his head and sniffed the barbecue, and after confirming that there was no problem, the black cat buried his head in eating hard, seeing that the monkey's anxious posture was not much different from Li Ling's, and it was estimated that he was also hungry. Li Ling was afraid that the black cat would not have enough to eat, so he threw a piece of barbecue meat to it.

The whole pork leg was wiped out by this man and a cat in a while. A full meal after being hungry for a long time is really a sense of happiness.

"Ah!!" Li Ling took a sip of the refreshing mountain spring water, burped, patted his round belly full of barbecue, and said with satisfaction, "Comfortable!"

"Meow!" the black cat squinted in agreement as he licked his shiny paws with his tongue.

Li Ling only took a serious look at this black cat at this time, the notes of the predecessors of Dong Xuzi contained almost ninety percent of the demon beast information in the Manggu Forest, but there was nothing similar to the two-tailed black cat in front of him, could it be that this was a mutant demon beast?

A mutated demon beast refers to a descendant born from two different demon beasts, or a demon beast accidentally ingested some strange ore and spirit grass to produce some kind of mutation.

The mutant monsters born in the first case are born with physical defects and are generally difficult to survive. The second case is relatively common, and it is recorded in the notes of Dong Xuzi. There are mutations in limbs, such as the three red sun snakes that give birth to two extra heads, and there are also mutations in attributes, such as the gray lava tiger with dual attributes of fire and earth.

Therefore, it is very likely that this black cat is also a demon beast that has produced some kind of mutation.

Looking at the black cat that was licking its fur, Li Ling couldn't help but stretch out his hand to rub its furry head, but as soon as the hand was halfway out, it was stopped by the black cat's eyes, and it even deliberately showed its claws and shook it in front of Li Ling to show threat.

"Stingy. Li Ling withdrew his hand stupidly, looked at the black cat and asked, "Do you have a name?"

"Meow?" the black cat tilted its head, dazed.

"Then I'll call you Xiao Hei," Li Ling made his tone as gentle as possible, pointed at the black cat, and then said word by word, "Xiao Hei, just call you, do you know?"

"Meow. Xiao Hei had a helpless expression on his face, and he didn't want to deal with Li Ling a little.

Suddenly, the sound of rustling leaves came from behind Li Ling, attracting his attention. Xiao Hei's expression also became nervous, and he bowed his waist at the woods behind Li Ling, his two tails raised high, and he let out a low roar from his mouth.

Li Ling clenched the black jade sword embryo, made a soothing gesture to Xiao Hei, was vigilant in his heart, slowly stood up, and cautiously walked in the direction where the voice came from.

Immediately after, Li Ling saw the initiator of the voice. In front of him was a huge spider, the size of a tiger tank, the black carapace was full of barbs, and the eight spider legs were sharp at the front, entwined with strange red lines, silently piercing the ground.

Second-order demon beast, bloodthirsty spider!

"It's embarrassing now......" Li Ling's face turned a little pale, although the echinoderm pig and the bloodthirsty spider are both second-order demon beasts, but there is also a species and bloodline gap between the same level demon beasts. The Echinoderm Pig has a low mind, has almost no means of attack, and has no bloodline inheritance, so even if it is promoted to the second order, it is still not much different from the first order.

But the bloodthirsty spider is different, it belongs to the carnivorous demon beast like the ice spirit python, it is extremely aggressive, and it is considered a kind of spiritual intelligence and enlightenment among low-level demon beasts. Such demon beasts are not only powerful in attack, but also insidious and cunning, and ordinary low-level cultivators can easily die at their hands.

However, what gave Li Ling the most headache was the opportunity to draw random weapons once a day, which had already been used up when he had just hunted the Echinoderm Pig. With only the black jade sword embryo in his hand that couldn't be broken, it was even more difficult to defeat the bloodthirsty spider in front of him.

[Trigger a random quest to kill the second-order demon beast Bloodthirsty Spider and reward 100 protagonist points.] 】

Li Ling, who was just about to turn around and run away, was a little entangled, this was a second-order demon beast, and he would die if he was not careful.

Li Ling doesn't feel that he has this so-called "protagonist aura", he really has an immortal Xiaoqiang physique like the protagonist in the novel movie, if the "protagonist aura" has this kind of anti-heaven function, then how did the last host die?

The last "protagonist" was buried by himself!

"Come on, host. Xuan seemed to feel Li Ling's inner thoughts and said.

"Fight!" Li Ling's pure yang energy in his body surged wildly, and Luo Gang's qi was released with all his strength, and the whole person was brilliant like a golden body.

At the same time that Li Ling saw the bloodthirsty spider, the bloodthirsty spider also saw him, and the eight long legs were moving, and they had already come to Li Ling almost instantly. The two slender and sharp front legs were raised high and stabbed towards Li Ling's head.

Although Li Ling failed to comprehend the Chixiao Sword Intent, the seven-style sword moves in the "Chixiao Sword Technique" were practiced by him to the point that they were superb. These seven sword moves, Li Ling has practiced countless times, and he knows every detail well, and he even made changes to the sword moves that suit him, and consulted Tang Tang. Every change, every adjustment, he was very cautious, and spent a lot of energy, and finally made this "Chixiao Sword Technique" extremely suitable for himself.

The "Molten Gold" sword momentum took shape almost instantly, without a trace of sluggishness, and the crimson sword light suddenly rose, intertwining into a circle directly above Li Ling.

The fifth form of "Chixiao Sword Technique" - Bright Sun!

This was the only defensive sword move in the Chixiao Seven Styles, and after barely resisting the attack of the bloodthirsty spider, a few drops of fine sweat escaped from Li Ling's forehead.

What a strong force!

Sure enough, the demon beast is naturally stronger than humans in terms of strength, you must know that Li Ling's body refining has already achieved a small success, and his explosive power is not much better than that of physical cultivation, but at this moment, it is still slightly inferior to the bloodthirsty spider.

You can't fight hard.

Xiao Hei behind Li Ling was staring at the bloodthirsty spider at the moment, with a fierce expression, its body trembled slightly, as if it was being bound by something invisible, and there were wisps of black air around it.

The speed of the bloodthirsty spider was very fast, and Li Ling had to concentrate on dodging carefully, once he was stabbed by the spear-like spider leg of the bloodthirsty spider, he would be drained of blood and turned into a dried corpse.

The bloodthirsty spider couldn't be hit, so it pounced in the direction of Li Ling again, and this time its first four spider legs were all raised, stabbing at Li Ling from different angles.

At this critical juncture, Li Ling suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a light blue shimmer flickered around his pupils.

It's Tianmingguan!
