Chapter 13 Trouble is coming
"The host swallowed an obsidian concentrate and gained five swallowing points!"
"Ding, the host has broken through to the middle stage of the fifth level of martial arts!"
In an instant, Ye Xuan's aura became stronger, and the spiritual power in his body also skyrocketed.
"Hiss!"
Seeing that his belongings were lost to Ye Xuan, the white-scaled python immediately opened its bloody mouth and bit into Ye Xuan's head, as if it wanted to swallow Ye Xuan directly.
"Wind Slash!"
Ye Xuan raised the long sword in his hand, and a sword energy that was more powerful than before was struck out, instantly slicing through the body of the white-scaled python.
"Hiss!"
A muffled sound spread, and the head of the white-scaled python flew over, and its body and head were separated!
Instant kill!
Looking at the moving snake head and body on the ground, Ye Xuan also wiped his hands with cold sweat. It seemed that his bet was right. The black stone was indeed a good thing.
Five swallowing points means that the price of the black stone is about five million taels of silver.
"It's really a disgusting animal. The head has been chopped off. The body and the snake's head can still move. If you are not careful, you will be bitten."
Ye Xuan also shook his head helplessly.
Snakes are a strange creature. If a part of the body is separated from the whole, it can still maintain its original motor functions for a period of time. Therefore, the decapitated tongue can also perform conditioned reflexes to open its mouth or spit out snake bites.
Now, Ye Xuan already has five Devouring Points. He directly spent three Devouring Points in exchange for a skill called Devouring Hand.
From now on, as long as he touches it with his hand, he can swallow it, which is very convenient.
Moreover, this swallowing can be upgraded and can swallow an area.
Not only that, swallowing points can also be exchanged for swallowing space, which is similar to the Qiankun Ring, but much safer than the Qiankun Ring.
Ye Xuan put his hand on the still swinging snake, and then swallowed it. Then he pierced the snake's head with his sword and swallowed the snake's head as well.
"As expected, it is a fifth-level monster. It has improved a lot."
Ye Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
Originally he only needed about five million taels of silver to break through, but now he got five million taels of obsidian concentrate, allowing him to break through directly to the middle stage of the fifth level of martial arts.
Moreover, at this time, he is probably not far from the fifth level of martial arts peak.
The Devouring System is indeed a good thing!
However, the resources required for this upgrade are also too large. Five million taels of silver are enough to train an ordinary person to the sixth level of martial arts.
After cleaning up the mess, Ye Xuan also looked around, but found nothing.
Then, he left the cave and found a tree to rest in the forest outside.
After a peaceful night, Ye Xuan got up early the next day and continued hunting.
Now that he has broken through to the middle stage of the fifth level of martial arts, he is still close to breaking through to the peak of the fifth level of martial arts, so he wants to return to Lianyuncheng after his breakthrough.
With the Devouring Hand, Ye Xuan became more energetic in killing monsters.
However, things are not that simple.
"Brother, when I was going out for a convenience just now, I found a boy killing an armored cow. However, the next moment, the armored cow disappeared."
In a certain forest in the Lianyun Eighteen Mountains, a thin man ran up to a scarred man and said.
"Gone? Are you deceived?" The scarred man was startled and asked in surprise.
"No, the armored bull is a third-level monster, much bigger than the two of us. I can't be mistaken..." the thin man said seriously.
"Suddenly disappeared. If you are not mistaken, then there is only one possibility!" The scarred man's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "The Qiankun Ring!"
The thin man also nodded hastily: "Yes, that's right, only the Qiankun Ring can do it. Brother, we have hit a treasure this time. Someone actually has the Qiankun Ring!"
The Qiankun Ring is a very precious thing. Most people in the world have heard of it, but have never seen it.
Tianyuan Sect Protector Yu Jin had one in his hands before, but his identity and origins were extremely mysterious, so it made sense to have a Qiankun Ring.
Moreover, even the leader of a sect may not have the Qiankun Ring, but it is a bit unlikely that it would appear in a boy who came to the Lianyun Eighteen Mountains for training.
"Are you sure that kid lost an armored cow?" The scarred man couldn't help but ask again.
"I'll guarantee it with my head. I'm definitely not wrong. Besides, brother, we don't do that kind of thing very often. There's no one here anyway, so why not..." The thin man raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, fuck him!"
Scar Man was also impressed. A Qiankun Ring is worth a lot of money. If it is really captured by them, then they will definitely become a strong person.
As for the boy the thin man mentioned, it was actually Ye Xuan. When he was devouring the corpse of the monster, he was accidentally seen by the thin man.
Immediately, the two of them picked up weapons and chased after him.
However, at this time, Ye Xuan was still looking for the next monster to hunt, unaware that danger was already approaching him.
"Hmm, footsteps?"
Ye Xuan, who was looking for prey, suddenly felt something was wrong. He frowned immediately, then turned around and saw two figures following him out of the forest.
These two people are the thin man and the scarred man just now.
"Little brother, please stay." When he saw Ye Xuan, the thin man also shouted, and then trotted over.
Ye Xuan's brows tightened. He looked at the two of them and found that they were both around forty years old. As for their strength, he couldn't tell.
"stop!"
Ye Xuan suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled the thin man to stop. Although he had not been in this world for a long time, after integrating the memories of the unlucky guy, he was not a newcomer who had just debuted.
In this wilderness, some disharmonious things often happen, such as murder and treasure grabbing.
"What's the matter with you?" Ye Xuan asked loudly as he watched the thin man stop twenty meters in front of him.
The thin man showed a harmless look, and then said: "Little brother, it's like this. Our map was accidentally lost, so I want to ask little brother if you have any extra Lianyun Eighteen Mountains on you. map?"
"map?"
Hearing this question, Ye Xuan also relaxed his brows, then took out a parchment scroll from his arms, threw it at his feet, and said: "Two eldest brothers, it is necessary to help each other when you are away from home. I will put the map here." Here, you can come and get it after I leave!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
If these two people really asked him for help because they lost their map, then he would be happy to help because he also had a spare map with him.
But if these two people wanted to be ill-intentioned towards him, it would be better to stay away from each other.
