Chapter 28
Li Xiaobai acted swiftly, collecting all the materials into his Space Ring.
After all, these were precious materials that could be exchanged for Spirit Stones, and he couldn’t just give them away to the little loli.
“Big brother, you probably don’t need these materials, right…”
Chu Xiaoxiao said, looking pitiful.
“I have a great use for them.”
Li Xiaobai stated indifferently, casually swallowing a Demonic Beast inner core.
As the inner core entered his body, a wave of heat surged in his Dantian, and the fierce beast’s aura swept across in all directions, causing a thunderous explosion to emanate from his stomach, which made everyone tremble in fear.
Li Xiaobai’s face turned red, showing an expression of pure satisfaction.
He let out a deep breath of turbid air.
“Refreshing!”
[Attribute Points+200…]
The effect was impressive. He had heard that the energy within a Demonic Beast inner core was wildly violent and that an ordinary person would surely die if they consumed one. Now seeing it for himself, he could confirm that the energy was indeed explosively wild.
While he felt comfortable, the others were dumbfounded.
A Demonic Beast capable of condensing an inner core was at the Golden Core Stage, and they would run the other way if they encountered one on a normal day. To see someone bravely swallowing a Demonic Beast inner core was an indication of extreme confidence and strength!
Unbeknownst to Li Xiaobai, in the eyes of the young men and women, he had become a monstrous creature on par with the ancient fierce beasts, an ancient monster with thousands of years under his belt.
Li Ruojun was so frightened that she turned pale and nearly lost control of her bladder. As the only girl in the five-person team, her mental endurance was the weakest, and the sight of such a ferocious scene nearly caused her to lose her way.
Li Xiaobai burped contentedly, still feeling unsatisfied, so he took out all the remaining Demonic Beast inner cores and swallowed them.
“Gurgle, gurgle!”
Explosions continued in his Dantian, the thunderous sounds rolled on, and the overpowering demonic beast aura raged, startling the little loli into crying out.
“Big brother, you’re so fierce, daring to eat Demonic Beast inner cores raw. You’re much stronger than those fresh juniors in our Sect. You’re the most ferocious person I’ve ever met, without a doubt!”
Chu Xiaoxiao’s eyes shone with admiration for Li Xiaobai.
“Senior is truly extraordinary. Such a cultivation level is unattainable for us cultivators!”
Ouyang Feng’s face was filled with bitterness. The gap was so wide that it was enough for him to chase for a lifetime.
“Heh, it’s just routine for me, not worth mentioning.”
Li Xiaobai waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to continue forward.
Since the fierce beasts had been scared off, it was necessary to quickly find fresh blood to make up for the gap in the source of Attribute Points.
By now, the group had already reached the inner areas of the Divine Beast Mountain Range. Here, even the weakest Demonic Beast was at the Foundation Establishment Realm Great Perfection, and Golden Core Stage Demonic Beasts were everywhere.
Ouyang Feng led everyone to a swamp.
“Senior, this is Cloud Mist Marsh. It’s home to a Golden Core Stage Sky Swallowing Python that should suit your tastes perfectly.”
His choice of this area was also driven by his own desires. This swamp was rich with Spiritual Medicines nurtured by the Demonic Beasts’ aura over the years, and they were all mature.
Unfortunately, due to their low strength, trying to take these medicines was like snatching food from a tiger’s mouth. But if they could kill the python, they could gather the medicines. Even if they only took ten percent, it would be a substantial gain.
“Golden Core Stage, not bad.”
Li Xiaobai’s eyes gleamed. Golden Core Stage meant there were inner cores to be had, and he could gain another surge of Attribute Points.
“Go, big brother, you can do it!”
The little loli cheered from behind, and Li Xiaobai’s face darkened. While her voice was strong, her body kept an honest distance, obviously wanting to avoid getting caught in any backlash. Being so timid, how did she manage out in the world?
After stretching his muscles, without much ado, he stepped directly into the swamp.
As soon as he touched the swamp, his Attribute Point panel started to fluctuate; the swamp was poisonous.
[Attribute Points+1…]
[Attribute Points +1…]
[Ding! Detection of sustained poison damage to the host, skill upgrade: Muscle Flaccidity.]
Muscle Flaccidity: When used, induces a state of muscle flaccidity within a two-meter radius centered on oneself; the longer the duration, the more severe the symptoms become.
Hmm?
That dose of poison actually caused Muscle Flaccidity to upgrade. Although the name didn’t change, the range of use increased to a two-meter radius. It won’t be as restrictive to use from now on.
The swamp was eerily quiet, and there were no earth-shattering roars to be heard, only a strange silence.
Li Xiaobai knew that this was the calm before the storm. Snakes are always very cunning and might be looking for the right opportunity to strike with a fatal blow.
Sure enough, a sudden chill underfoot felt as though something had licked him.
[Attribute Points +30…]
Hiss!
What kind of tongue is this, to lick and add so many Attribute Points? This is much stronger than those Demonic Beasts I encountered before.
Without hesitation, Li Xiaobai bent over and frantically groped through the swamp, attempting to haul up the Sky Swallowing Python.
Ouyang Feng and the others retreated again and again in terror. Such provocative behavior was universally considered suicidal. If the Sky Swallowing Python became enraged, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it; it was wiser to retreat further away first.
“Roar!”
Stirred by Li Xiaobai’s action, the Sky Swallowing Python hidden in the depths of the swamp erupted in fury, feeling severely provoked.
The roar was deafening, echoing between heaven and earth. A terrifyingly powerful pressure swept over the area in an instant. It wasn’t incorrect to say that snakes carried a hint of dragon blood in their veins.
The swamp exploded, and the Sky Swallowing Python soared into the sky, opening its massive jaws and biting down towards Li Xiaobai.
The python in front of him was surprisingly large, with a body length of dozens of meters. Its scales shimmered with a cold light, like armor.
But no matter how intimidating it looked, it only had the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage and couldn’t possibly harm him.
[Attribute Points +100…]
As it bit down, Li Xiaobai was unharmed, but the python’s teeth shattered, and it was doused in its own venom. His Attribute Points soared once again.
With a swift move, the python quickly coiled around Li Xiaobai’s waist—an innate skill of its kind, constriction.
The snake tightened its grip and bulging veins popped out on Li Xiaobai’s body.
[Attribute Points +100…]
[Attribute Points +100…]
[…]
The Attribute Points were increasing wildly. The constriction was continuous damage. It was evident that the python was exerting its full strength.
Li Xiaobai felt pain yet was elated; the python was providing a bounty of Attribute Points. He wished it would keep constricting him forever. It was just unfortunate that Reflect was a passive skill, constantly activating.
Nobody loves Reflect when it’s on.
The tighter the python squeezed, the greater the damage it received.
Soon, its scales began to crack and break apart, and streaks of blood floated into the air.
“Roar!”
The python roared in agony. It wasn’t very intelligent; once it wrapped around its prey, it wouldn’t let go, which led to it sustaining immense damage.
After the roaring persisted for a while, it abruptly stopped.
The intense feeling of restriction suddenly vanished, and Li Xiaobai felt his body relax. The Sky Swallowing Python lay motionless in the swamp, devoid of life.
It had been shaken to death by its own sheer force.
“Ah, it’s a pity… I rarely come across one that’s so handy to use.”
