BXBX NOVEL Chapter 26
Chapter 26
“This matter is best kept to myself alone, you guys can keep this secret for me forever.”
Feng Wuxie chuckled lightly, unfazed by Lin Mang’s curses.
Lin Mang wanted to say something else, but unfortunately, after his lips moved a few times, he was torn in half by a brown bear.
Feng Wuxie once again concealed his presence, planning to wait for the demonic beasts to leave before going forward to loot the bodies.
At the same time,
Li Xiaobai was feeling relaxed, buried under a pile of demonic beasts.
The strength of these demonic beasts was generally below the Golden Core Stage, and couldn’t hurt him, but he had not expected that Lin Mang and Hao Jian would be such despicable scoundrels.
He had kindly offered to help, and yet those two actually turned against him, pushing him into the midst of the demonic beasts.
“Don’t let me run into you again, or I’ll definitely tie you up and feed you to the demonic beasts!” Li Xiaobai felt depressed.
A brown bear was gnawing at his head, his arms were being torn at by two tigers, and several wild boars kept charging at his legs.
Countless smaller demonic beasts were constantly biting at every part of his body.
The System panel’s Attribute Points were rapidly increasing.
[Attribute Points +10…]
[Attribute Points +30…]
[Attribute Points +50…]
[…]
Put all points in defense!
[Defensive Power: Indestructible Golden Body First Revolution (0/10000) Can Advance]
“Man, the Indestructible Golden Body, this name is sky-high, it feels a whole level more imposing than before. Looks like I’m about to take off!”
Li Xiaobai was very excited. With the advancement in defensive power, mysterious ancient totems emerged on his skin, covered with a pale golden hue that resembled some kind of Divine Beast, though he didn’t recognize it.
His eyes too were covered with a faint golden glow. The light was still weak, barely noticeable unless looked at closely.
As for his current appearance, Li Xiaobai was quite pleased, appearing very manly.
At the same time, two screams rang out, and a round head rolled to Li Xiaobai’s feet. Upon closer inspection, it was actually Lin Mang’s head.
It seemed that even though he had acted as bait, those two fellows still couldn’t escape the attack of the demonic beasts and were eaten.
That can be considered poetic justice.
Stretching lazily, the demonic beasts on him could no longer bite through. There used to be a slight pain before, but after the advancement in defensive power, it was like he couldn’t feel a thing.
[Ding! Detecting Host continuously attacked by a brown bear, comprehending skill: Bear Paw Shock. (Bear Paw Shock: Strike with a palm, powerful like collapsing mountains and seas.)]
[Ding! Detecting Host continuously attacked by wild boars, comprehending skill: Reflect. (Reflect: Passive skill, reflects a certain amount of damage.)]
[Ding! Detecting Host continuously attacked by Spotted Ripple Tigers, comprehending skill: Rend. (Rend: Increases the power of biting, able to chew through very hard objects.)]
[Ding! Detecting Host continuously attacked by a mammoth, comprehending skill: Super Abdominal Muscles. (Super Abdominal Muscles: Passive skill, doubles defensive power when actively flexing muscles.)]
[…]
Li Xiaobai was overjoyed in his heart. Sustaining continuous attacks allowed him to learn skills; the Divine Beast Forest was indeed a paradise for him.
He needed to find more different demonic beasts to bite him.
Not only could he accumulate Attribute Points, but he could also acquire more skills. This was absolutely thrilling. Indeed, going out on an adventure was the right choice.
Now that his defensive power had ascended to the Undying Golden Body, it was time to delve deeper into the Divine Beast Mountain Range and stir things up.
Dragging the demonic beasts that were still perseveringly gnawing at him, Li Xiaobai walked slowly towards the depths of the forest.
What he didn’t know was that, shrouded in darkness, someone had been intently watching him, observing the entire process of the demonic beasts gnawing at him.
“Indeed, Li Xiaobai is not so easily killed; I was being too simple-minded, shouldn’t have killed those two idiots so soon.”
Feng Wuxie muttered to himself, he hadn’t expected Li Xiaobai’s treasure to be so powerful that an entire horde of demonic beasts couldn’t even bite through it.
The more it seemed so, the more he wanted to obtain it for himself, and given that the other party didn’t seem to care about the damage the demonic beasts might inflict on the treasure, it further indicated its importance.
Mere Golden Core stage demonic beasts are not enough to harm Li Xiaobai’s Magic Treasure, which means the treasure in his hands must at least be of Nascent Soul stage powerhouse level.
At first, he had guessed that it was a mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, but now it seemed that poverty had limited his imagination.
With a light tap of his foot, Feng Wuxie followed silently, seeking another opportunity to kill Li Xiaobai.
…
Among the jungle, Li Xiaobai was humming a tune, starting a new round of his quest for demonic beasts.
This was his first time entering such a dangerous place, having no idea where the beasts might be more plentiful, he could only search randomly, scurrying in all directions.
Feng Wuxie, trailing behind him, was frustrated. So many times they were close to a demonic beast’s territory, but Li Xiaobai just wouldn’t take the usual paths, always narrowly missing encounters with the beasts.
As a result, they ventured deeper and deeper but remained unscathed from danger.
Feng Wuxie started to feel uncertain; if they delved deeper, and if a demonic beast sprang out, he might not be able to handle it.
He was only a third-layer Golden Core Stage cultivator, and even with full power, he might outperform his rank, but in this jungle, the beasts always appeared in groups.
He still needed to find an opportunity to finish off Li Xiaobai soon.
It was then that the murmur of voices reached them.
“Hehe, little sister, hand over the Linglong Grass, and sister here will let you off the hook.”
“Yeah, don’t resist a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.”
“No way, this Spiritual Medicine was discovered by our Holy Demon Sect; you cannot take it away!”
Huh?
People talking?
Li Xiaobai also heard the arguing voices, his eyes lit up and he hurried towards the direction of the sound.
Being a newbie here, he couldn’t even find a demonic beast; if he could find people to team up with, he might avoid a lot of detours.
But as he ran, his movements made quite a ruckus, and a horde of beasts that had been drawn in from the outskirts chased relentlessly behind him; the ground thundered, beasts roared, and in a blink, dust filled the air.
Among the jungle,
Five young men and women were encircling a little girl, who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, very tender, holding tightly onto a clump of Spiritual Medicine.
Feeling the trembling underfoot, the expressions of the young men and women changed drastically.
“This is bad, these are hordes of demonic beasts; why are they charging at us?”
“I don’t know, we haven’t done anything!”
“Run fast, we can’t handle this horde of beasts!”
“But this Linglong Grass…”
“Take her with us, if the Holy Demon Sect learns that we left their Disciple behind, we won’t be able to escape the consequences!”
The expressions of the young men and women were one of panic as they took out their Magic Treasures ready to flee for their lives.
But at that moment, from within the thick billowing dust, an angry shout could be heard.
“Damn it, you idiots scared them off, how am I supposed to find people to team up like this!”
“All of you scram!”
