Chapter 2322 - 2321: Breakthrough
Facing the motionless monster under his feet, Ling Feng was momentarily speechless.
Since that’s the case, he thought to himself, I won’t be polite. All the treasures on you will be mine, to pave the way for my ascent to greater realms!
With that thought, Ling Feng took a deep breath, and the Blade of the Apocalypse in his hand stabbed straight at the monster’s head!
"Puff!"
The blade pierced in, right up to the hilt.
Yet the monster still did not move.
Ling Feng felt secretly delighted, how convenient this was!
With a forceful twist of his wrist, the Blade of the Apocalypse created a large hole on the monster’s head. He then saw that he had only cut through the creature’s skull, not even scratching its brain.
After making a hole, Ling Feng squinted, thinking, you’re in such a deep coma, don’t blame me then!
The blade stabbed into the monster’s brain, and only then did its body begin to tremble violently.
Unfortunately, having injured its brain, it couldn’t wake even if it wanted to!
The monster started to roll on the ground, and Ling Feng was flung aside, landing quietly and watching, waiting for the creature to die completely.
In just a minute, the monster stopped twitching and lay motionless on the ground.
At the same time, Ling Feng roughly understood what had happened.
This creature had eaten too many snakes, most of which were highly venomous.
The snake venom absorbed in its body might have caused its deep coma.
Yet this coma had given Ling Feng a chance to defeat the monster effortlessly.
In a way, this was quite fortunate.
Having killed the giant monster, Ling Feng emerged from the shrubbery and called softly to Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu in the distance: "It’s over, come on over!"
The two girls only heard the sound of a monster rolling on the ground from within the bushes, not knowing what exactly had happened.
Then Ling Feng called for them to come down, and the two were a little confused.
Once they came down the tree, crawled through the bushes, and saw the monster lying motionless on the ground, with a large dark red bloodstain on the ground, both of them were stunned.
Turning back, Xiao Xiao asked in surprise: "Brother, how did you kill it?"
"This guy ate too many snakes, that even when I cut open its head, it didn’t wake up!"
Ling Feng chuckled, not hiding the truth, and explained the situation.
Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu were dumbfounded upon hearing this, not expecting it could happen like this!
This luck was simply incredible!
"Brother, you’re amazing!"
Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu’s eyes were filled with admiration!
"Haha, just lucky! Quickly check what treasures this thing has on it, collect more, so you two can absorb Xuan Qi tonight, right?" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Yes, plenty!"
Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu nodded, immediately running to the monster’s side.
Ling Feng didn’t idle, knowing there must be an inner core in the creature’s belly, he began cutting with the Blade of the Apocalypse.
After toiling for a long while, as the light in the forest dimmed further.
Noticing the monster’s lair was almost pitch-black, Ling Feng led the two girls out of the bushes.
Though they had harvested quite a bit, it wasn’t the time to be happy. The three had to find a shelter before the forest turned completely dark; otherwise, the night in the dark forest would be extremely dangerous!
They threw everything into the Space-capturing Mirror, and Ling Feng led the two quickly forward, looking for any suitable place to camp.
Finally, they found a tree so large that they couldn’t wrap their arms around it even together.
The branches interlaced at the top, offering a place for them to stay.
"Let’s stay here tonight, we won’t see anything soon and can’t afford to look any further!" Ling Feng said.
"Alright!"
The two girls now regarded him as their backbone, agreeing with whatever Ling Feng said, offering no objections.
Thus, the three climbed the tree to a height of over ten meters above ground.
The large branches of this tree allowed a person to lie on them without any issue.
Dinner consisted of potato cakes brought from the village. After a quick meal, Ling Feng told the two girls: "Absorb Xuan Qi tonight, I’ll stand guard, hoping you have breakthroughs tonight!"
"Okay, brother, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Xiao said.
Mu Mu nodded and added: "We’ll strive for a breakthrough!"
"Don’t rush, we have time. Staying in the forest a few more days, you should both achieve above the Core Formation Realm!" Ling Feng smiled.
The two girls’ eyes sparkled with excitement as they nodded in agreement.
Afterward, they each found a spacious branch to sit on, and Ling Feng retrieved the day’s gains from the Space-capturing Mirror, distributing them to the girls.
Then the two absorbed Xuan Qi while Ling Feng kept watch, eyeing the ground below and the canopy above for any potential beast attacks.
Time slipped by second by second.
The night passed uneventfully.
The next day’s sun gradually rose, and the dark forest brightened.
Though devoid of the sounds of insects and birds, the sunlight brought a sense of vitality.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu simultaneously opened their eyes.
A glimmer appeared in their eyes, and seeing this, Ling Feng asked: "How is it?"
"Brother, I reached the Qi Refining Realm and reached mid-level!" Xiao Xiao said.
Mu Mu nodded: "Yes, me too!"
"Wow, not bad!"
Ling Feng was somewhat surprised, expecting them to reach the Qi Refining Realm was good enough, but they broke through and improved significantly!
Xiao Xiao smiled: "Brother, thanks to you, I never thought I’d break through the Qi Refining Realm!"
"Yes, I never imagined it!"
Mu Mu nodded and continued: "If we were in the village, reaching this realm would lead to being taken by the Dragon Clan!"
"Not a worry now!"
Xiao Xiao grinned: "With brother here!"
"Exactly!"
Ling Feng nodded: "With me here, no one can take you away!"
After speaking, he looked at the now used-up Xuan Qi items and chuckled: "Just these few things helped you break through, today we need to gather more, aiming to help you reach the Core Formation Realm tonight, then we’ll have the strength to confront the Dragon Clan!"
"Good!"
The girls’ eyes were full of hope, nodding simultaneously.
They descended the tree, tidied a bit, and began their new journey.
Compared to entering the forest yesterday, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu seemed completely changed, not just more confident, but also more vigilant.
After walking only a few hundred meters into the forest, Xiao Xiao suddenly stopped, making a shushing sound.
Following her guidance, Ling Feng and Mu Mu looked up to see a giant bird’s nest hanging in the tree canopy!
The tree was enormous, and the nest was no small size either, hanging over ten meters up, it looked like a house!
