27: Chapter 27 Digestion

Qin Yun was very happy.

Cat Xiaoxiao, who was crouching and watching from the side, was also very happy.

With so many supplies, her cat head itched just thinking about it, and she couldn't even imagine how long they would last.

She only knew that from now on, neither her master nor she would ever go hungry again.

Immediately, Qin Yun took out his and Cat Xiaoxiao's bowls, along with the ordinary blood essence harvested today.

"Xiaoxiao, this is ordinary blood essence. Do you remember its effect?" Qin Yun tore open the thin film on the surface of the ordinary blood essence and poured the essence inside into Cat Xiaoxiao's bowl.

"Meow!"

Cat Xiaoxiao licked her lips, meowing excitedly.

"That's right, drink up quickly. There's more after you finish."

Qin Yun placed the bowl in front of Cat Xiaoxiao, then poured the essence from the ordinary blood essence into his own bowl as well.

After finishing one, he took out a second one.

Ten minutes later.

The 13 ordinary blood essence units harvested today were all gone!

Qin Yun had consumed 10, and Cat Xiaoxiao had consumed 3!

They wouldn't be using the primary blood essence for now!

He planned to wait until his physical strength exceeded one ton and the ordinary blood essence no longer had an effect before using the more effective primary blood essence!

"Xiao Qi, keep the electric vehicle moving forward. Cat Xiaoxiao and I are getting off to move around and adapt to our surging physical strength."

Qin Yun felt very powerful now, capable of knocking down an adult cow with one punch, but he really wasn't used to his physical strength increasing by 200 jin in such a short time.

"Understood, Master!"

Qin Yun stepped off the electric vehicle, and Cat Xiaoxiao jumped down as well.

After moving his limbs and warming up, getting slightly adjusted, Qin Yun began to perform Baduanjin.

Cat Xiaoxiao, meanwhile, would press down her front paws from time to time to stretch her body, swipe her front claws, and even lie on the spotless Highway to twist and roll, all to adapt to her surging physical strength.

She adapted very quickly.

By the time Qin Yun performed Baduanjin for the second time, Cat Xiaoxiao, who had already adapted to her own strength, began to hop and run around on the Highway.

She felt that she was terrifyingly strong now, and even felt that an adult Red-eyed Rabbit would be no match for her!

Cat Xiaoxiao's feeling was actually not wrong!

Although her size hadn't changed much, her physical strength was real, and an adult Red-eyed Rabbit was truly no match for her!

Even if she were accidentally kicked by a Red-eyed Rabbit, she would be fine!

Although the saying that cats have nine lives isn't literally true, it's not just empty talk either!

Watching Qin Yun perform Baduanjin for the third time, Cat Xiaoxiao tilted her cat head.

She was thinking about how to convince her master to let her join the fight.

Having not fought for a few days, her claws were itching.

After tilting her head and thinking for about two and a half minutes, she remembered what her master had said to Qin Xiaoqi when he participated in his first battle today.

That's it, the vehicle already has two ordinary energy-gathering guns, so it can definitely protect her safety.

As long as she said that, her master would definitely agree to let her fight!

Having figured it out, Cat Xiaoxiao continued to hop around on the Highway.

She meowed from time to time, indicating that the entire Highway was her and her master's territory.

...

Qin Yun, having finished Baduanjin for the third time, finally adapted to his surging physical strength.

It was very powerful, and also very captivating!

In the morning, before he intended to engage in close-quarters combat with an underage Red-eyed Rabbit, he had been cautious and needed Qin Xiaoqi to ensure his safety.

And now?

Qin Yun was very certain that with his current strength and combat skills, armed with the rabbit tooth dagger and the bone-pattern longsword, he could take on five adult Red-eyed Rabbits at the same time and ensure a kill without taking any damage!

This huge gap that had emerged in such a short time left him dazed for a moment.

Qin Yun smiled and looked at Cat Xiaoxiao, who was hopping around happily.

It was right for Cat Xiaoxiao to be this happy.

"Xiaoxiao, stop running. Come over and drink some water."

"Meow, meow."

Qin Yun took two empty bowls out of his advanced space ring, then poured in drinking water without any ox horn powder.

Then, he took out 2 ordinary soul beads and placed them into the two bowls respectively.

In less than a second, the entire soul bead dissolved completely into the drinking water, turning into ordinary soul water.

As long as one drank the ordinary soul water, it would produce the effect of strengthening the soul!

This was how to consume ordinary soul beads.

It was very simple, and also very magical.

"Meow."

The well-behaved and sensible Cat Xiaoxiao expressed her gratitude and affection to Qin Yun before starting to drink the ordinary soul water in the bowl.

After drinking the ordinary soul water, Qin Yun quietly felt the changes in his soul while slowly grooming Cat Xiaoxiao's fur.

The pleasure in his soul was only secondary; the key was the sublimation of the soul and the perception in the dark!

He even felt that his will had undergone some changes!

When various chaotic thoughts came uncontrollably and he couldn't calm down to continue perceiving the changes, he could cut them off with a single thought, allowing himself to achieve greater Focus!

Shocking!

Qin Yun couldn't have imagined that just a single ordinary soul bead could have such an effect!

Could it be that, like the ox horn powder water, it was only so obvious during the brief process of taking effect?

That must be it.

"Meow, meow."

Every few sips, Cat Xiaoxiao couldn't help but let out a joyful meow.

Qin Yun regretted it; he should have divided it into more portions instead of gulping it all down.

Next time for sure.

Two and a half minutes later.

Qin Yun put the two empty bowls into his space ring, then said to Cat Xiaoxiao: "The electric vehicle has stopped. Let's hurry to the front and then start a fire to cook!"

The electric vehicle controlled by Qin Xiaoqi had stopped on the Highway 990 meters ahead.

To avoid wasting time on the countdown, Qin Yun planned to run to the front of the electric vehicle before starting to build a fire and cook.

Having not eaten rice for a few days, he missed the taste of rice.

"Meow."

Cat Xiaoxiao, who was repeatedly rubbing her face and licking her paws, meowed and quickly followed Qin Yun's pace.

When Qin Yun and Cat Xiaoxiao ran forward together, the electric vehicle controlled by Qin Xiaoqi also began to move forward on the Highway.

Not long after, Qin Yun and Cat Xiaoxiao ran to the side of the electric vehicle.

While slowing his pace, Qin Yun said: "Xiao Qi, keep the electric vehicle moving at this slow speed. I'll run to the front to start a fire and cook, so as not to waste the remaining time on the countdown."

"Don't worry, Master, Xiao Qi understands!"

After gently patting the electric vehicle, Qin Yun sped up and ran toward the endless front of the Highway.

He hoped for, and was very much looking forward to, the day when Qin Xiaoqi would become an intelligent life.

After running for more than three thousand meters, Qin Yun and Cat Xiaoxiao stopped running and walked forward.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm going to start a fire and cook. You go play by yourself, but remember not to run off the Highway."

"Meow."

Cat Xiaoxiao nodded her cat head.

Qin Yun, having caught his breath, took out stone after stone to build a simple stove where he could place pots.

Three for cooking ordinary rice, three for cooking beast meat, one for pan-frying beast meat, one for roasting beast meat, one for stir-frying vegetables, and one more for deep-frying the scales from the Black Phosphorus Earthworm.

After building ten in a row, Qin Yun finally started the fire.
