Chapter 67 Ch 67: Strange Creature
Ye Xiao and Lin Hao thought of resting there for a while. While fighting with the group of Ironback Apes, they both wasted a lot of energy.
Lin Hao sat down under a tree, closing his eyes while Ye Xiao also sat down some distance away from him.
Ye Xiao turned his head and looked at the corpse of the leader of the Ironback Apes. He them stood up and walked toward it then placed his hand on its corpse.
"Devour."
Ye Xiao suddenly felt a lot of energy rushing in his body. He silently circulated the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
His cultivation once again began to increase and stopped after reaching the Late Fifth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm from the Early Fifth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.
He really felt blessed at this moment. The Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique was really a heaven defying technique. Not only it let Ye Xiao form nine dragons in his sea of consciousness, it also let Ye Xiao use all of the dragon's abilities as he wishes.
After forming the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon inside his sea of consciousness, Ye Xiao was able to use its abilities. He used the devouring ability of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon many times and gained a lot. But the most important thing was that no matter how much he devour and increases his cultivation in a short period of time, there was no drawback. His foundation will never weaken.
Yes, it was another thing if he wanted to consolidate and strengthen his foundation even more. He can do it. It is up to him.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that Ye Xiao was looking at the corpse of the leader of the Ironback Apes, Lin Hao felt confused. What is this guy looking at the corpse of the ape for? He could not help but ask.
"Eh, nothing." Ye Xiao turned back and returned to where he was sitting before and again sat down there. He had already devoured the remaining spirit energy from the corpse of the third rank Ironback Ape. There was nothing more left for him to do anything. So, he just sit down there lazily.
Previously, he had hunted and killed many second ranked magical beast but he didn't choose to devour them because even if he devoured, it won't make any difference. It will be as if someone added a drop of water into the well.
Only by devouring the magical beast or any other creature whose strength far exceeded him will help him increase his strength by a short or large margin.
"There is only three days left before the first round of the competition's end." Ye Xiao said lightly and when Lin Hao heard him, he slightly nodded his head.
"Are you going back?" Lin Hao asked.
"No, I think I'll hunt here for two more days and then I'll go back." Ye Xiao shook his head and said.
p
"I am going to search for more second rank magical beast. Are you coming with me?" Ye Xiao asked.
"No, I'll hunt by myself. Let's meet in the second round of the competition." Lin Hao smiled.
"Oh!, ok then, I am leaving now."
"Ok."
After saying his goodbye, Ye Xiao again started to search and kill second rank magical beasts.
After two days, Ye Xiao stopped hunting the magical beasts. He calculate the beast core. There was a total of hundred and twenty second rank beast core in his spatial ring. It means he had killed more than hundred second rank magical beasts in these past few days. And there was also five third rank beast core. In these past three days, he didn't just killed the second rank magical beast, he also killed five third rank magical beasts.
After he killed five third rank magical beasts, he devoured their energy and now he was at the peak of the Sixth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm, just a step away from reaching the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Now, there was only a day left till the end of the first round of competition. So, Ye Xiao thought that after resting for this night, he'll go back.
After calculating, he found that he had entered more than hundred miles deep inside the forest. It could be considered far away from the wall of the fog. In his journey, he had encountered many second and third rank magical beasts. He even encountered fourth rank magical beast but he avoided them after all he was still not strong enough to hunt down a fourth rank magical beast.
He found a small cave and took his shelter there for a night. After cleaning the cave for some time, he went out and hit down some unnamed mountain birds.
Although these birds were not a magical beasts, they were still very large, about the size of an ordinary ostrich.
Ye Xiao opened their stomach and cleaned them. Then he set up a fire and began to roast those birds.
After half an hour, a bird has been roasted. The meat was fragrant. He directly tore off a birds leg and chewed it in his mouth. Soon the leg in his disappeared. He then tore of another leg of the bird and started eating it.
When he was eating, he found that a small yellow creature was watching him openly. Ye Xiao didn't even knew when this small yellow creature appeared here. Ye Xiao looked at it carefully and found that it was only the size of an adult's palm. More likely, it was a new born baby. Ye Xiao looked around him and found nothing. He couldn't understand how this small yellow creature came here.
At this moment that small yellow creature was staring at Ye Xiao with its small eyes. No, it was staring at the bird beside Ye Xiao as well as the leg piece of the bird in his hand. Though It looked very cute and funny.
But it was very timid. It wanted to come over but it didn't as if it was afraid of Ye Xiao. It was also reluctant to walk away.
Ye Xiao looked at it. He smiled and said, "What type of creature are you. Anyway you are also a creature with feelings. Come, come here. There are still two birds left. It is enough for the two of us. Haha."
That small yellow creature seems to understand what Ye Xiao was telling it. It slowly slowly walked toward Ye Xiao and stopped a few meters away from him. Then it again stared at him cautiously.
"Little fellow, don't worry. Come here and eat your fill." Seeing this little creature behaving this way, Ye Xiao could not help but laugh lightly. He threw the leg piece in his hand toward the little fellow.
Seeing the leg piece in front of him, That little creature seems to struggle a little bit in making its decision. But lastly, it was still tempted by the leg piece of the bird in front of it. It moved forward carefully. When it reached the roasted leg piece, it raised its head and looked at Ye Xiao. Seeing that Ye Xiao did not do anything, it held the roasted leg piece in its little hand and bite a small bite of the leg piece.
Only then Ye Xiao looked at its complete appearance and was surprised after seeing what the little yellow creature looked like. Its appearance was similar to a normal child. Two hands, two leg a round small head, everything was just like a small human child. What was different was that its whole body was of yellow colour. On its head was two tiny beautiful green leaf. It was a very small creature, only the size of a human adult's palm.
Looking at it carefully, Ye Xiao also found out that on the ground, while eating, wherever this creature's saliva dropped, a vine type small plant instantly grew out. And when this creature's saliva dropped on the grass or some small plant, it instantly grow in height with a little different appearance on its own.
When this strange creature finished eating the leg piece, it again looked at the body of the bird that was still being roasted above the fire and then looked at Ye Xiao.
"What.... exactly are you?" Ye Xiao asked dazedly.
"Chii chii!"
That strange creature raised its hand and pointed at the bird beside Ye Xiao and tried to say something.
Ye Xiao of course understood what it was trying to say but he was not able to respond anything as he was really very shocked after witnessing this small but fantasy like event.
