15: Dealing with each other

After returning to Bear Two’s previous territory, Wei Xun did not let his guard down.

As a human Soul, Wei Xun could guess that these humans would definitely not let the matter rest and would slowly search for him.

Especially when the two hunters saw that he was a Yao Beast, they were not afraid; instead, they wanted to kill him and dig out his demon core.

Through the reactions of these two people, Wei Xun could deduce the reactions of that group of hunters; when they learned that a Yao Beast was active nearby, they would only search even more frantically.

“I need to Cultivate faster!” Wei Xun huddled in the hole he dug, spitting out the whole ginseng.

Previously, when Cultivating, Wei Xun only maintained a Cultivation speed of 10,000 Cultivation points per day.

According to the original plan, it would still take five days to Breakthrough to the Demon Beast Stage Third Level.

If that group of humans came knocking during this period, it would not be good.

Thinking of this, Wei Xun directly held the ginseng and took a small bite.

When he was still on the mountain, Wei Xun, whose body size was only that of a mouse, took two light bites and quickly gained nearly 20,000 Cultivation points.

According to the previous amount, Wei Xun didn't dare to eat too much this time.

After all, the main body of the ginseng was far more nourishing than the ginseng roots, and eating too much would cause one to explode and die.

After taking a bite and swallowing, Wei Xun immediately closed his eyes to feel the progress change in his body.

At the same time, a scorching energy began to flow throughout Wei Xun’s body.

The progress bar also increased rapidly at a speed of thousands per second.

However, although Wei Xun felt hot all over like last time, it was far less uncomfortable than the first time he ate it.

In addition, Wei Xun cooperated by using the Demon Cultivation Mind Technique to dissolve the power in his body, so Wei Xun felt almost no discomfort.

Soon, the power in his body was completely dissolved, and the progress bar stopped at [Demon Beast Stage Second Level 196350 / 200000].

Seeing that the progress bar was still a little short, Wei Xun tore off a ginseng root and swallowed it, completely filling the progress bar.

At the moment of Breakthrough, five new options appeared in Wei Xun’s mind.

[Gigantification: Body size becomes larger, increasing both life and food intake.]

[Rock Armor: Skin becomes reinforced and hardened, enhancing defense.]

[Quick Cut Claws: Grow sharp claws like quick knives, retractable at will.]

[Fireball Technique: Can breathe Fire, turning into fireballs.]

[Black Mist Travel: Can breathe black mist to obscure vision, and one is unaffected, used for stealth.]

Looking at these five Cultivation Techniques, and thinking about the potential threats he might face, Wei Xun pondered for a moment before finally choosing the Black Mist Travel and Rock Armor Cultivation Techniques.

According to Wei Xun's understanding, Black Mist Travel is similar to a smoke bomb, which can obscure the enemy's vision, and he will not be affected in the black mist.

If this is the case, combined with his highly poisonous tail and agile movement, he would have a chance of winning even against multiple enemies.

Choosing Rock Armor was for precaution; although he was a Yao Beast now, his skin was still very fragile, even thinner than Bear Two's.

If he faced a life-and-death duel, although he could dodge attacks with his agile movement, he would be seriously injured once hit.

Therefore, choosing Rock Armor to strengthen his skin and reduce damage from attacks was very necessary.

Although Fireball Technique was also very attractive to him, it would be very feasible to use it for lighting Fires and roasting meat in the future, but facing potential threats now was not the time to consider eating roasted meat.

After the Breakthrough was completed, the progress bar in his mind also changed to [Demon Beast Stage Third Level 630 / 300000].

“It really is 300,000!” Wei Xun muttered to himself.

Now, more and more Cultivation is needed for upgrading; if it becomes even more exaggerated after transforming into a demon.

According to previous logical reasoning, Spirit Beast Realm was 10,000, 20,000, 30,000.

After becoming a Yao Beast, it was 100,000, 200,000, 300,000.

So after becoming a demon, would the starting point be 1 million, 2 million, 3 million?

Thinking of this, Wei Xun couldn't help but shiver.

However, seeing the almost complete ginseng in front of him, Wei Xun felt a little relieved; one ginseng root could provide him with four or five thousand Cultivation points, and there were at least over a hundred roots left.

Plus, the main body of the ginseng was almost intact, so the total should be enough.

After walking out of the cave, Wei Xun saw Bear Two sleeping at the entrance guarding, and the Three Flowers Cat catching fish by the Creek Pond.

The Three Flowers Cat’s recovery speed was very fast; although its hind leg was injured by an arrow, it could already walk and jump with difficulty after half a day, and although its speed was affected, the impact was not significant.

Seeing Wei Xun come out, Three Flowers immediately came forward, lowered its head respectfully, and said, “Big Brother, do you have any instructions?”

“You go hide in the Forest to the south; I’m worried that group of humans will come looking!” Wei Xun said seriously, “Once you discover any human movements, come back immediately and inform me.”

“Okay, Big Brother!” The Three Flowers Cat nodded, then quickly ran in the direction Wei Xun pointed, then leaped onto a tree branch and disappeared into the Forest.

At this time, Bear Two also woke up groggily, stretched out on the ground, then bent down and came in front of Wei Xun, waiting for Wei Xun to ride on his back.

Then Wei Xun rode Bear Two and began to stroll in other directions, firmly memorizing the nearby terrain in his mind.

Soon, Wei Xun rode Bear Two to the vicinity of the valley where the Demon Snake was hidden.

Seeing the valley, Wei Xun tugged at Bear Two’s fur, wanting to turn back to avoid conflict with this Demon Snake.

But just as he was turning back, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Wei Xun’s mind, and then he rode Bear Two and quickly ran towards the Forest where the Three Flowers Cat was hiding.

This Forest was the only way to the south where the hunters’ camp was; if that group of hunters wanted to find him, they would definitely have to pass through here.

The Demon Snake in that valley had powerful Cultivation and might transform into a demon at any time.

At that time, he would be difficult to deal with, and this group of humans would also be difficult to deal with.

Since that’s the case, let them deal with each other!

So, next, Wei Xun rode Bear Two and deliberately left a large number of tracks in the Forest, as well as pulling out his fur and hiding it along the way to leave a scent.

And deliberately led the final destination towards the Demon Snake’s valley.

After doing all this, Wei Xun returned to the previous Forest and exhaled Black Mist to cover up the remaining scent of himself on the path leading to his cave.

After finishing his work, Wei Xun still let the Three Flowers Cat stay in the Forest to scout, while he rode Bear Two back to the Creek Pond, letting Bear Two jump into the Creek Pond to catch a few fat fish to replenish his energy.

Exhaling the Black Mist was fun, but it consumed a lot of stamina.

However, Wei Xun also confirmed that within the Black Mist, he could perceive all movements within the Black Mist’s range without being affected at all; instead, it greatly enhanced his perception ability.
