Bang!
With a muffled sound, Sean’s head exploded like a juicy watermelon. Before that, his face was filled with fear, regret, shock, embarrassment, and anger. His blood spurt high into the air around the height of a one-story building.
Soon, the headless corpse swayed a few times before slamming into the ground.
“Phew…” Caspian finally let out a sigh of relief.
In those couple of days escaping from Sean’s chasing, Caspian‘s nerves were so tense as virtual-novel.net did not dare to slack for the slightest bit. Finally, virtual-novel.net found the opportunity to counter-kill a Pulse Control Realm cultivator.
Although Caspian ultimately only killed an exhausted Pulse Control Realm warrior, his courage, the art of hiding, patience, and decisiveness were equally needed. Even when Sean and the Serpent of Hell were battling, Caspian was equally focused. However, now that virtual-novel.net could finally relax, the accumulated exhaustion for the past few days swamped over him.
Suddenly, Caspian’ s stomach rumbled like thunder. When Sean chased after him, Caspian did not rest nor sleep. There were only a few times in between that virtual-novel.net managed to grab a few bites of rations randomly.
Since virtual-novel.net already loosened up, Caspian could not stop his hunger. Then, virtual-novel.net gulped and took out the rations. When virtual-novel.net came, virtual-novel.net did not bring many rations over. After all, based on Caspian’s initial plan, virtual-novel.net simply hunted for wild animals in the Dark Cloud Forest to feed himself.
Moreover, while Caspian tried to flee from Sean, virtual-novel.net used the rations several times for the sake of deceiving Sean’s line of sight by misleading virtual-novel.net in the wrong direction. Thus, Caspian was only left with a few bites of rations. Consequently, Caspian felt even hungrier than before.
What made Caspian even more desperate was his digestive system automatically initiated the Fundamental Law of a Hunting Whale. Hence, Caspian was so hungry that virtual-novel.net was seeing stars, and the scene in front of virtual-novel.net seemed to be twisted.
At that moment, Caspian was immediately captivated by the Serpent of Hell that was chopped into a few sections by Sean. The Serpent of Hell was about seven meters long, and it was chopped into four parts, falling everywhere on the ground. The flesh at the cut was still wriggling at the moment.
“Snake meat…” Caspian thought of the roasted snake meat aroma, and virtual-novel.net instantly salivated.
Without any hesitation… Well, it was more precise to say his body was not acting under his brain’s control anymore Caspian quickly found several firewoods, piled them up, and lit up a fire. Then, virtual-novel.net hurriedly cut open the snake meat, pierced it with his Blazing Spear, and directly roasted it.
Not long after, Caspian caught a whiff of a mouth-watering aroma. Caspian could not care less about scalding himself, virtual-novel.net directly grabbed the meat and gobbled it down.
After a few bites, the big piece of snake meat was swallowed. Caspian did not have to worry about indigestion as virtual-novel.net was utilizing the Fundamental Law of a Hunting Whale, and his digestive system moved dozens of times faster than usual. Hence, the snake meat that virtual-novel.net just ate was already digested in a flash. Soon, Caspian felt a warm sensation surging toward his limbs. His exhausted energy was swiftly replenished. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net did not only devour the snake meat but also did not waste the snake bones.
An ordinary person would not know what to do with the hard snake bones, and even a warrior would need to use a sharp weapon to split the bones. However, Caspian easily broke the bones apart as if they were cakes.
Then, virtual-novel.net widened his mouth, showing his pearly whites as virtual-novel.net crunched down on the snake bones and swallowed.
Caspian’s stomach was like a black hole. No matter how much snake meat virtual-novel.net swallowed, it was all absorbed in the blink of an eye. Thousands of kilograms of one serpent were eaten in less than four hours, and Caspian left no crumbs behind except for the massive head.
Anyone who saw the scene would definitely be shocked.
Finally, Caspian let out a satisfied sigh. However, virtual-novel.net still seemed to have some sort of unfinished business. The fresh monster meat was a great help in tampering with Caspian’s body, especially when coupled with the Fundamental Law of a Hunting Whale.
After having his meal, Caspian did not rest. Instead, virtual-novel.net sat cross-legged and meditated, circulating the blood and Qi in his body so that virtual-novel.net would fully absorb each energy that virtual-novel.net had just gained.
***
Another four hours passed, and it was already evening. The sky appeared blood-red from the sunset
When Caspian opened his eyes, an aura surged out around his body, which caused the dried blood on the ground to crack.
“This feels amazing!” Caspian leaped, and virtual-novel.net was delighted with his current state.
“Despite encountering countless dangers while being chased by Sean, my consciousness and willpower had greatly improved.” Caspian nodded.
Besides coming to the Dark Cloud Forest searching for the sun-seeker grass, Caspian also hoped to test what virtual-novel.net learned through actual combat. Initially, Caspian’s idea was to look for several wild beasts for training. Unexpectedly, virtual-novel.net met a few warriors, and they were indeed a much better opponent than wild animals!
Thus, Caspian had a clear understanding of his ability now. Caspian was significantly better compared to warriors of the same realm as him, and virtual-novel.net could trash them quickly.
Compared to a Pulse Control Realm cultivator, there was still an obvious gap.
Sean was a mid-level Pulse Control Realm warrior, and Caspian could only run away from him. Not only Sean, but Caspian was far weaker even if it were the entry-level Pulse Control Realm Kevin.
“The gap between a warrior and a cultivator is indeed massive. However, once I reach the Pulse Control Realm, I’ll surely be stronger than those of the same realm!” Caspian’s eyes flash with confidence.
Even though there was still a distance for virtual-novel.net to reach the Pulse Control Realm, Caspian had absolute confidence with the Evergreen Town’s competition. The battle with Sean was more helpful than virtual-novel.net had imagined!
Caspian stretched his body and made his way toward the Serpent of Hell’s head. It was time to collect the prize.
This sun-seeker grass had a clear vascular system, and it glowed in faint golden light.
Caspian, who knew nothing about medicinal herbs, could tell that even if this sun-seeker grass was not the best, it would definitely be a high-grade item. Hence, it was more than enough to use it and draw inscriptions.
As for the giant serpent’s head, Caspian directly kicked it into the pool. After all, virtual-novel.net was already full, and the head did not look appetizing at all with its fangs showing. The Serpent of Hell’s head floated on the pool for a moment before sinking.
Then, Caspian kept the sun-seeker grass into the Earring of Echo, and virtual-novel.net walked toward Sean’s corpse.
While Sean battled with the Serpent of Hell, Caspian laid low under the ground, secretly observing. Caspian noticed that Sean was bringing a few items with him, and virtual-novel.net did not throw them out. Hence, they must be still in Sean’s chest.
Caspian reached out and touched the cold body, and virtual-novel.net found several bottles as well as a small pouch. Unfortunately, while the Serpent of Hell was squeezing Sean, most of the porcelain bottles were either broken into pieces or cracked. In the end, Caspian was only left with two in perfect condition.
