The Soul Stabilizing Needle pierced through the soil and directly pierced through the brain of the Sand Scorpion. The moment the Soul-stabilizing Needle entered, a murderous intent bloomed in the Sand Scorpion's brain and soon destroyed its consciousness.
Without the control of its brain, the Sand Scorpion's body began to twitch. It struggled several times to get out of the ground, but it could no longer control its heavy body. In the end, it remained motionless under the ground.
Although Wang Zhan was on the tree, he could sense that the fluctuation emitted by the Jedi Sand Scorpion was becoming weaker through his Spiritual Power. His heart trembled slightly. Even though he knew that the power of the Soul Stabilizing Needle was on par with a grade three spirit skill, he didn't expect that due to the uniqueness of Spiritual Force, the power of the Wind Piercing Spike would be so powerful that it could easily kill a first grade middle level magical beast in a breath. Although Wang Zhan had the confidence to defeat it directly, it would definitely not be as easy as it was now.
Fortunately, mental power was invisible to the enemy, so it did not alarm the other magical beasts. Wang Zhan stopped on the tree for a moment. Seeing that no demonic beasts came, he flew down. Wang Zhan, who only cared about hurrying on his way, was already famished.
Although the outer shell of a Jedi Sand Scorpion was very tough, the meat inside was especially tender. Therefore, Wang Zhan was very appetizing. Under normal circumstances, the spiritual power of these demonic beasts was the same as that of humans. It existed in their flesh and blood, and only a very small amount of demonic beasts 'spiritual power was stored in their inner cores. Therefore, when he ate the meat of the magical beast, a portion of his spiritual power entered his body. Although it could not compare to the absorption of the Inula Flower and the Bonebreaking Grass, it was much faster than his own cultivation.
Looking at the Magical Beast meat that could only be eaten during the New Year, Wang Zhan did not hold back at all. After cooking it, he began to eat it in large mouthfuls. With every bite, Wang Zhan could feel the spiritual energy spreading through his stomach to his limbs and bones, nourishing his meridians and filling his blood, qi, and muscles.
When Wang Zhan finished eating, the sky had already darkened. And now, there was another difficult problem in front of him. That was where he should sleep at night.
It was different from the spacious and warm Qin Manor. Magical beasts ran amok in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It was still fine during the day, and they only faced some larger magical beasts. However, it was different at night.
Every night, the hunters in the dark would come out to look for food. Each of them was a first-class stalker and the best shadow assassin.
For safety reasons, Wang Zhan decided to use the night to cultivate. Cultivation was originally a process of recuperation. To a certain extent, it could reduce physical fatigue.
After making up his mind, Wang Zhan quickly found a big tree and sat cross-legged on a branch. He began to absorb the Spiritual Energy in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Although the environment was not very comfortable, the abundance of spiritual power in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was not something that the back mountain he was at could compare to.
Feeling the dense Spiritual Energy shuttling through his muscles and meridians, Wang Zhan was pleasantly surprised to discover that his body was also changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was only a matter of time before he broke through to the middle stage of the fifth layer.
He cultivated for about eight hours. Wang Zhan also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It was already late at night. The sun would rise soon, and those night-traveling magical beasts would hide again because they had nowhere to hide.
"It seems that the first night in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was rather smooth.”Wang Zhan exhaled and said softly.
However, at this moment, Xuanyuan Hao, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up."Why, are you starting to relax now? This forest was not as quiet as it looked!”
Hearing Xuanyuan Hao's sudden words, how could Wang Zhan not understand what he meant? Thus, he began to calm down and used his spiritual power to spy on his surroundings. However, he did not expect that no matter how he scanned his surroundings, there were no snakes, insects, rats, or ants around him, let alone stronger magical beasts.
Since the scan was fruitless, Wang Zhan slowly retracted his mental power. It was still a little strenuous for him to continuously open his spiritual power domain.
At this moment, a soft cry suddenly appeared in this quiet night. The owner of the voice seemed to have realized that he had lost his composure and quickly stopped talking, but it was too late.
Wang Zhan's mental power had already locked onto him. It turned out that he was only a First-Grade Magical Beast. In the next moment, it had already appeared above it.
Tiangang Fist!
With a punch, a cold wind was emitted from Wang Zhan's fist, adding a touch of killing intent to the quiet forest. Even a Body Tempering Stage Five Spirit Cultivator would have to be cautious when dealing with this punch.
However, what surprised Wang Zhan was that the demonic beast did not seem to know that Wang Zhan was attacking him and did not dodge at all.
"So you're an iron fool. It's your bad luck to want to ambush me.”Wang Zhan thought to himself.
When the Big Dipper Fist landed on the demonic beast's body, the pain from his hand made Wang Zhan understand why it did not prepare to dodge. It turned out that it did not take this punch seriously at all.
Wang Zhan immediately retreated the moment he felt the pain, pulling a safe distance away from this magical beast. Although he had no expression on his face, he was shocked beyond words in his heart. Although his Tiangang Fist was only a first-grade spiritual skill, he had cultivated it to the great success realm. Moreover, he already had a spiritual seed and could use a trace of spiritual power. Even if he could not defeat it, he could not remain motionless. Not only that, this magical beast was clearly less than a hundred meters away from him. Why couldn't his spiritual power detect its existence?
With two big question marks in his heart, Wang Zhan had no choice but to re-examine the monster in front of him. The strange thing was that this monster did not seem to have any intention of attacking Wang Zhan. Its pair of big eyes flickered with golden light in the pitch-black night. In this unusually quiet night, it seemed particularly strange.
Wang Zhan extended his spiritual power again and confirmed the identity of this magical beast. Hell Lion. He looked at it repeatedly. Other than the fact that the Netherworld Lion's color was a little red, Wang Zhan felt that he had not misjudged it.
Looking at the fellow in front of him who was about the same age as him, he should still be in the growth stage, which was why his realm was only at the lower level of the first grade. According to the records in the relevant books, some mature Nether Lions could even reach the upper level of the second grade, and could even fight head-on with a late-stage Receival expert.
However, this little Nether Lion didn't have the killing intent of the other magical beasts. This made Wang Zhan gradually let down his guard. Looking at this small Netherworld Lion, Wang Zhan could not help but ask,"What's wrong, little thing? Did you get lost?”
It was originally a casual question, but the following scene shocked Wang Zhan. The Nether Lion seemed to have understood what Wang Zhan said and actually began to nod.
"F * ck, what's going on? It's clearly just a low-level magical beast, so how can it understand what I'm saying? Even the Heavenly Demonic Leopard that was killed last time didn't have such good fortune. Moreover, it was a Heavenly Demonic Leopard that had cultivated its natal spirit skill.”Wang Zhan muttered. Then, he remembered that Big Brother Xuanyuan was more knowledgeable than him, so he asked. "Big brother Xuanyuan, what's the situation with this Nether Lion? It seems like it has already developed a trace of intelligence.”
Hearing Wang Zhan's question, Xuanyuan Hao, who was in the jade pendant, fell silent. It was not a big deal for a Magical Beast to gain sentience. He had seen many of them, but almost all of them were magnates who could move mountains or cross seas with a single thought. They were existences that were revered by tens of thousands of people no matter where they were. However, this stupid little guy in front of him was only at the middle stage of First Grade. He was not even close to being a magnate.
"This magical beast should be a Nether Lion, but I'm not too sure why it has intelligence. There must be some kind of opportunity that we don't know about.”Xuanyuan Hao said calmly. There were all kinds of strange things in this world. Perhaps the Nether Lion had accidentally eaten some kind of panacea that had the ability to create things.
Wang Zhan nodded. This explanation might be the only explanation.
Seeing that this little Netherworld Lion had no killing intent, Wang Zhan jumped onto the branch again and began to cultivate. Although this Nether Lion looked harmless, it was still a magical beast. Therefore, Wang Zhan still kept an eye out. He quietly separated a wisp of spiritual power and observed its movements.
The Netherworld Lion gradually approached him, and then it actually began to sleep under the tree where Wang Zhan was. Wang Zhan's mouth twitched.
"Big brother, are you clinging to me?"
Just like that, the Hell Lion only got up when it knew that Wang Zhan had finished cultivating. He yawned lazily and began to look at Wang Zhan on the tree, as if waiting for him to come down.
Because he wanted to raise his realm as soon as possible, Wang Zhan did not care too much. Since the Nether Lion had no intention of attacking, Wang Zhan let it follow him. Originally, Wang Zhan wanted to do what he did yesterday. While searching for spiritual herbs, he could find one or two low-grade magical beasts to practice with.
However, what Wang Zhan did not expect was that from the time he set off to noon, he did not find a single magical beast after walking for almost half a hundred kilometers.
"This is really strange. Yesterday, when I didn't want to meet a magical beast, I could sense the aura of the magical beast every three to five days. Today, when I wanted to meet it, I didn't see it.”Wang Zhan blew his hair and said in surprise.
"That's right. It's as if those magical beasts have left. Yesterday, I sensed at least three different magical beasts eyeing you covetously, but today, they seemed to have given up. Those three auras have also disappeared, as if they were hiding from you.”
"Hiding from me?"
Looking at the empty forest, Wang Zhan fell into deep thought.
