Another four days passed.
It was late at night, and in the forest outside of Evergreen Town, there was a sudden hurried and brief rustling sound. It was as if a wild animal ran away in a hurry. As the cloud floated away, the covered moon instantly appeared, lighting up the ground.
At that moment, a long and narrow silver light suddenly lit up the darkness. Then, with a roar, the silver light burst out like lightning. It stirred the surrounding airflow, and it even made a loud and piercing exploding sound.
Swoosh!
Woo!
Deep in the forest where the silver light was, blood sprayed everywhere out of the blue.
A black figure howled out in pain, flew into the air, and heavily slammed on a big tree, making the tree shake violently. Then, after struggling a few times, the figure stopped moving.
Soon, Caspian’s silhouette appeared from the nearby darkness.
Looking at the dead grey wolf nailed to the tree with his Silver Scales Spear, Caspian nodded and smiled. “Even though it’s just a wild animal, it will do fine for now.”
Through his recent readings, Caspian found that not only humans could cultivate, but any creatures too. Just as warriors and cultivators, the creatures were divided into realms too.
The evil wolf in front of virtual-novel.net would be regarded as a wild animal or wild beast, which was equivalent to warriors in the human world. Those in a higher level than wild animals were called monsters, which was equivalent to cultivators in the human world.
The forest Caspian in was Dark Cloud Forest.
There were monsters in Dark Cloud Forest, but Caspian was only cruising the surrounding area, so naturally, virtual-novel.net encountered wild animals.
After a few days of careful observations, Caspian noticed that the Lawrences did not even pay attention to him. Besides sending virtual-novel.net meals three times a day, Caspian was usually ignored by the Lawrences. If it were other people, they might feel dejected, but that was exactly what Caspian wanted. Hence, Caspian would leave the Lawrence Manor at night and practice in the Dark Cloud Forest.
Although virtual-novel.net always practiced in the Time Warp Zone, and virtual-novel.net had double the time an ordinary person had, Caspian knew that virtual-novel.net needed to go through many actual combats as a warrior to accumulate experiences.
As virtual-novel.net had no opponent of the same realm, the Dark Cloud Forest’s wild animals became Caspian’s target. Besides, since the Sea-Breaker Beast’s essence was fully absorbed, Caspian needed a massive amount of wild animal me at to replenish his energy and spiritual Qi.
Later, Caspian removed the taller-than-a-human wolf from the tree, skillfully disemboweled it, skinned it, and washed it clean. Next, virtual-novel.net roasted the wolf.
Caspian did not waste any time as virtual-novel.net waited for the meat to cook. Instead, virtual-novel.net took the Silver Scales Spear and repeatedly practiced the Mortal Grade’s middle-ranking Bloodthirsty Spear Method. As the Bloodthirsty Spear Method’s grade was not high, there were naturally not many moves to be learned. In fact, there were only three, and they were not too difficult either.
After practicing for a few days, Caspian mastered the first move, Bloody Skyfall, and the second move, Bloody Chains.
As for the third technique, Caspian needed to reach the fifth stage of the True Martial Realm before starting to learn it. Thus, Caspian was not in a hurry. Instead, virtual-novel.net practiced the two moves repeatedly until virtual-novel.net could react instinctively without giving much thought.
After practicing for a while, Caspian could smell an irresistible aroma from the roasted meat. Since Caspian used the Sea-Breaker Beast’s essence to strengthen himself, his appetite increased a lot. Furthermore, with The Fundamental Law of a Hunting Whale’s technique, Caspian would not feel full even after eating such a giant wolf that weighed about hundreds of kilograms with its bones.
Caspian was hungry as virtual-novel.net chased after this wolf and practiced the spear skills for a while. Then, seeing that the meat was cooked, virtual-novel.net immediately stabbed the Silver Scales Spear onto the ground. Then, virtual-novel.net tore off one wolf leg and started eating it in big bites. The meat was muscular and tough. If it were other warriors, they need to use a sharp knife to cut through the meat, even if it were only a size bigger than their fist. Then, they could slowly chew on it. However, Caspian’s teeth were like a large blade.
With a few crunches, Caspian easily chewed the meat into pieces and swallowed it. His digestive system was also dozens of times better than an ordinary person, and it made a leather rubbing sound. Within a short time, Caspian already digested those pieces of meat that usual people might need hours to digest.
Soon, Caspian felt a warm flow spreading along with his internal organs and toward the limbs. It was so comfortable as if virtual-novel.net was immersed in hot water. Not long after, Caspian finished devouring the roasted wolf, and virtual-novel.net did not leave a single bone either.
Caspian wiped away the grease on the corners of his mouth. Then, virtual-novel.net sat cross-legged and began concentrating on absorbing the energy, making sure that all the power in the wolf meat entered all parts of his bones and muscles.
After about two hours, Caspian opened his eyes.
The accumulated fatigue from his previous training was all gone. Soon, Caspian was full of energy, and his eyes lit up like a sky full of stars.
“The sky’s rather gloomy today, and even the air is damp. Is it going to rain soon?” Looking at the sky, Caspian pulled out the Silver Scales Spear from the ground. Next, virtual-novel.net tidied up and got ready to leave the mountain.
As Caspian walked along the trail down the mountain, virtual-novel.net suddenly stopped in his tracks. Then, virtual-novel.net squinted and looked at a silhouette standing not far away. The figure was skinny and tall, and stood there, not moving as if it were a piece of rock.
This mountain was located in a remote area, and typically, no one would come over. Moreover, it was not even morning yet, and someone was already blocking the middle of the trail.
The only possibility was the person was coming for Caspian.
Caspian’s mouth twitched, and virtual-novel.net held the Silver Scales Spear in his hand. Then, virtual-novel.net slowly moved forward as virtual-novel.net glanced around his surroundings.
Carson’s subordinates could not come here, and the Cloud Valley’s cultivators would have killed virtual-novel.net already if they wanted to. Since Caspian arrived at Evergreen Town, there were only a few people virtual-novel.net provoked, and among those few, there were even fewer of them that wanted virtual-novel.net dead. After giving it a thought, Caspian guessed where the person in front of virtual-novel.net was from.
“Did the Yates family send someone experienced over cause I beat up their little fellow?” Caspian stopped in his tracks when virtual-novel.net was about ten meters away from the figure.
Then, virtual-novel.net sneered.
There was a faint sound of footsteps coming from behind him.
After a while, a familiar voice rang from behind him. “You guessed it. Since that’s the case, I can’t let you walk away.”
Caspian sighed and turned to look at the towering figure. “Harold, are you dumb?”
The person walking out was indeed Harold, and behind him, there was a crouched man.
Harold’s arm that Caspian broke last time was not sandwiched between two clamps, and it was hung by the cloth around his neck. Indeed, Harold appeared pathetic there.
When Harold heard Caspian’s words, virtual-novel.net was angered. “Hmm? What did you say?”
