CHAPTER 84: HUNTING

"Meow~." Good job, Miss.

Xiao Mao was watching Yu Shi Lan’s battle and clapped her cat paws happily. It was obvious that Yu Shi Lan was very capable and had already started using various spells to aid her battle.

Even though Qi Refinement cultivator’s spells were limited in effect and range, but in a close combat, a slight delay would be more than enough to win the battle.

So Yu Shi Lan’s hobby back then was to use restraining spell.

This will hinder her enemy’s movement for a short period of time, allowing her to grasp the chance and kill it.

Be it demonic beasts or other cultivators, this technique worked quite well.

"Mhm~." Yu Shi Lan nodded in satisfaction. She walked towards the head of the Demonic Ant and then stabbed the knife.

Jleb!

The knife was split into two and in the midst of disgusting mess, she picked up a small crystal.

It’s the demonic beast’s cores.

"As expected, they have already formed these things. It’s the peak of rank 1, but it’s still too weak." Yu Shi Lan shook her head.

Rank 1 Demonic Beast was equivalent in strength to Qi Refinement rank 1 to 3.

The peak of Rank 1 Demonic Beast should have been comparable to Qi Refinement cultivator at rank 3, but this Demonic Ant was still too weak.

"Meow." It lacked battle experience.

Xiao Mao could tell that while the Demonic Ant had fought other demonic beasts and possibly also humans and other ordinary animals, it hadn’t fought against other cultivators like Yu Shi Lan.

So when the Demonic Ant encountered Yu Shi Lan, it couldn’t even fight back properly.

How miserable.

"Let’s find more demonic beast," Yu Shi Lan said eagerly.

Aside from fighting against these demonic beasts for fighting experience, it seemed that she could also take advantage of this situation to get some demonic beasts’ cores. These demonic beasts would not be so stupid and weak for a long time.

"Meow?" How about the base?

"It can wait." Yu Shi Lan smiled sweetly.

Xiao Mao: "..."

Then again, Yu Shi Lan will never forget her revenge, but she wanted to take advantage of this situation to get enough demonic beast’s cores first. This is a good resources even though Yu Shi Lan couldn’t really absorb the Qi inside directly.

Unless she wanted to become a demonic cultivator.

But Yu Shi Lan was not a demonic cultivator even though her cultivation path was filled with killing.

Xiao Mao shook her head.

Forget it.

No matter what Yu Shi Lan wanted to do, she would not stop the other party.

...

In this way, Yu Shi Lan’s plan to enter the base quickly was delayed.

She spent five days hunting the demonic beasts and obtained dozens of demonic beasts’ cores. They were all at rank 1 and the difference is that some of them were at the middle stage and a small amount of them were at the late stage and the rest were at the early stage.

It could be said that these demonic beasts were improving rather quickly.

But Yu Shi Lan guessed that it should be because of the Demonic Qi’s concentration explosion during the earthquake not long ago.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for these demonic beasts to improve so quickly.

"Meow." Yawn

Xiao Mao yawned in boredom when she saw that Yu Shi Lan had already finished killing another Demonic Mantis. There were not many variety of these demonic beasts as of yet.

It would be either the Demonic Mantis, Demonic Ants, or Demonic Spiders.

Other insects would take more time to mutate and change.

And these demonic beasts could be said to be the weakest and the most numerous.

"Sorry, Xiao Mao, are you bored?" Yu Shi Lan wanted to poke Xiao Mao, but the cat swiftly avoided Yu Shi Lan’s hand.

"Meow!" Don’t touch me! You have to wash your hand first!

Yu Shi Lan: "..."

She looked at her clean hand and then at the noisy Xiao Mao.

Swish!

With a quick grasp of her hand, Xiao Mao was caught and then rubbed by Yu Shi Lan without hesitation.

"Meow! Meow! Meow!"

The miserable cat howled and then laid limply on Yu Shi Lan’s shoulder once Yu Shi Lan had finished rubbing it.

It felt that its fur was extremely dirty now.

Yu Shi Lan snorted when she saw the cat acting like this again.

"Stop acting."

"Meow." Xiao Mao glared at Yu Shi Lan resentfully and then looked at the corpse of Demonic Ants on the ground. "Meow?" You’re always leaving these dead demonic beasts behind. Don’t you plan on using them for something?

"They’re only rank 1 Demonic Beasts and many ordinary things are more valuable than this." Yu Shi Lan shook her head. "And their meat is also uneatable. It’s contaminated with the Demonic Qi."

While it was not impossible to process their meat and then eat them, Yu Shi Lan didn’t want to waste her Qi in order to process the meat.

it’s too tiring.

She would have to spend a large amount of Qi just to process a small amount of meat.

The hard work was not worth the reward.

Unless she’s facing a rank 4 Demonic Beast’s meat... Then Yu Shi Lan will definitely work hard to use her Qi and cleanse the Demonic Qi inside. Because the meat definitely contained Qi once she was done and it would be able to help her get stronger.

As for these rank 1 demonic beasts...

Forget it.

It’s better to leave it to the people who were desperate.

Even if they knew that eating these things might end up making them crazy, there were still many people who dared to take the risk and willing to eat it.

Because in their opinion, this is what allowed them to become stronger.

"Hmm..." Yu Shi Lan paused in her steps and looked at the mountain in the distance.

For a moment, she felt a faint realm suppressions.

Is there any other cultivator in this world?
