357: Li Mu took the three little ones to practice

While everyone was enjoying themselves, Li Mu, on the other side, embarked on a journey to the Monster Beast Continent in the south, accompanied by Linglong, Dahong, and Xiaohuli.

This mysterious continent was filled with dense Demonic Qi, where Yao Beasts resided and multiplied.

Li Mu pointed ahead and introduced to the three little ones, “There are many Yao Beasts of different Realms here, making it a good place for you to Cultivate and gain experience.”

Upon hearing her master mention experience, Linglong instantly deflated, sprawling on the ground like a puddle of mud, weakly pawing at the earth.

Dahong, with his agile body and bristling fur, vigilantly watched the movements around them.

Xiaohuli, on the other hand, leaped lightly, her tail wagging, full of curiosity for this new Domain.

Seeing the different reactions of the three little ones, Li Mu smiled helplessly. He found Linglong’s slacking posture particularly obvious. Li Mu thought, she can’t go on like this!

He had to find a way to ignite her fighting spirit.

Li Mu walked over to Linglong, gently stroked her head, and said with a smile, “Linglong, I know you are lazy, but only by constantly Cultivating can you become stronger. Think about it, as the eldest, if danger strikes, Dahong and Xiaohuli will need your protection.”

Upon hearing this, Linglong, though still somewhat reluctant, managed to stand up, a hint of determination in her eyes.

She was the elder sister, and she had to protect her younger siblings.

Seeing Linglong invigorated, Li Mu continued, “There are various Yao Beasts of different Realms here. You will encounter all sorts of dangers, but I will not intervene. You need to kill the Yao Beasts yourselves, then extract the Yao Beast Cores from their bodies to enhance your respective Realms.”

Although he knew this was just the beginning, as long as they were willing to work hard, they would surely make progress on this Monster Beast Continent.

And he would always be by their side, offering them support and guidance.

However, Li Mu had a deeper reason for doing this.

A series of recent events had made him realize that this world was not simple.

Various coincidental occurrences made him understand that only by continuously improving himself and Linglong’s Cultivation Realms could they cope with potential crises.

Therefore, he had to make Linglong, Dahong, and Xiaohuli work hard to Cultivate, to face future challenges.

If the future truly unfolded as it did in the previous simulated world, then all current efforts would provide an extra layer of security for the future.

Thus, Li Mu began to act.

On the first day, he took Linglong, Xiaohuli, and Dahong to the outskirts of the forest, where the Yao Beasts were relatively weaker, suitable for them to practice combat skills.

Li Mu first let Linglong and Xiaohuli demonstrate their abilities to see if they had mastered new skills.

Linglong easily used her spatial movement skill, while Xiaohuli displayed powerful flame abilities.

Seeing their progress, Li Mu felt very satisfied.

Next, Li Mu pointed out some aspects of Dahong’s current Realm, helping him better understand the strengths and weaknesses of his attacks. Correcting these would significantly improve both his offense and defense.

After they completed their training, Li Mu took them to kill some Yao Beasts in the outer areas.

These Yao Beasts had delicious meat and were an excellent food source.

Li Mu skillfully processed the Yao Beast carcasses, cutting off the chewy meat and marinating it with seasonings.

Before long, the aroma of roasted meat filled the entire forest.

Linglong drooled, eagerly awaiting her master’s feeding.

Xiaohuli and Dahong were no exception; they were both captivated by the delicious food before them, staring intently at the roasted meat in Li Mu’s hand.

Li Mu cut the roasted thigh meat into small pieces and directly placed them into Linglong’s mouth.

Linglong chewed excitedly, savoring the delicious taste.

Then, Li Mu fed the roasted front leg meat and hind leg meat to Xiaohuli and Dahong, respectively.

Watching them eat with relish, Li Mu also smiled happily.

Finally, Li Mu picked up a slice of roasted meat and savored it himself.

While enjoying the food, Li Mu did not forget to continue observing the surrounding environment.

He used his Mental Energy to sense a few Yao Beasts in the Late Stage of Refining Qi and Transforming into Spirit deeper in the forest; the menacing Yao Beasts not far away were merely small flies.

However, Li Mu was not worried. If it weren’t like this, Linglong, Dahong, and Xiaohuli would find it too boring!

Just then, Li Mu heard the words from the three little ones.

Linglong: Hiss, so tasty, so tasty, just a little hot.

Dahong: What kind of earthly delight is this? Yao Beast meat is too fragrant! I’ve decided, tomorrow I must kill more Yao Beasts for Master to roast and eat…

Xiaohuli: So tasty, so tasty! Master has such skill but has been hiding it all this time, that’s not fair enough! I must eat more to make up for it…

Li Mu smiled wryly after hearing them. These foodies…

On the second day, Li Mu stood with his hands behind his back and said to the three little ones, “Starting today, I will not intervene in anything that happens here. You must exert your utmost effort to kill Yao Beasts. Whoever kills the most Yao Beasts and obtains the most Yao Beast Cores will not be punished.”

Linglong: ???

Did Master say the last sentence incorrectly?

Li Mu glanced at Linglong and continued, “No, I didn’t say it wrong. With punishment, there are naturally rewards. As for rewards, I will let you eat until you’re full, how about that?”

When the three little ones heard that the reward was to eat until they were full, they remembered Li Mu’s roasting skills, and their mouths couldn’t help but water.

Seeing the three little ones lost in thought, Li Mu lightly coughed, pulling their minds back.

“Of course, starting today, you must also find your own food. I will not manage it.”

Upon hearing this, the three little ones felt as if the sky had fallen.

What was the difference between days without their master’s roasted meat and being a salted fish?

However, remembering the reward their master mentioned, they couldn’t help but perk up and charged in, killing along the way.

Watching them leave with such vigor, Li Mu took something out of the System.

This was precisely the flavor that made Linglong, Xiaohuli, and Dahong so infatuated with the delicious food.

To be honest, even Li Mu found it incredibly tasty.

It truly lived up to the System’s production; even a simple seasoning was extraordinarily unique.

He wondered how long it would take Linglong and the others to advance their Realms this time?

Time passed minute by minute, but Linglong and the others had not yet returned.

Li Mu couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

He knew the dangers of the Monster Beast Continent; there were various powerful Yao Beasts whose strength should not be underestimated.

Not to mention the few Yao Beasts in the Late Stage of Refining Qi and Transforming into Spirit deep within the continent. When would Linglong and the others encounter them?

………

Meanwhile, Linglong and the others had already entered the depths of the Monster Beast Continent.

The Yao Beasts here were even stronger, but they did not retreat; instead, they charged forward even more resolutely.

They believed that as long as they persevered, they would surely find enough Yao Beast Cores to advance their Realms.

Linglong and the others ventured deeper into the Monster Beast Continent step by step, encountering various types of Yao Beasts.

Some Yao Beasts were enormous in size and astonishingly powerful; others were incredibly fast and had sharp attacks.

But Linglong, Dahong, and Xiaohuli were fearless, relying on their own abilities to engage in fierce battles with the Yao Beasts.

They cooperated tacitly, supported each other, and continuously defeated powerful Yao Beasts one by one.

After each victory, they would obtain the Yao Beast Cores from the Yao Beasts.

These Yao Beast Cores contained the essence of the Yao Beasts and could help them advance their Realms.

Just then, in the nearby forest, two Yao Beasts in the Late Stage of Refining Qi and Transforming into Spirit were eyeing Linglong and the others menacingly…
