He extended his finger and gently hooked it, sending the Water Spirit Sword flying backward and hovering in front of Lin Xiaofei.

"A mid-grade magic weapon is truly different. The Water Spirit Sword is more than twice as powerful as the Silver Light Sword."

Lin Xiaofei looked at the Water Spirit Sword in front of him with a joyful expression and muttered to himself.

Of course, the Water Spirit Sword's power is not only related to its material and the number of runes, but also to the amount of spiritual energy the caster infuses into it. The more spiritual energy infused, the greater the power, and vice versa.

After admiring the Water Spirit Sword for a while and testing its power several times, Lin Xiaofei felt that his combat strength had increased again, and he was very happy.

As time went by, the night deepened.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofei stepped out of the spatial bead, glanced at the village in the distance, and then walked towards the desolate village.

Countless clouds drifted across the dark night sky, making the surrounding dark grass and forest appear even darker.

Lin Xiaofei used his perfected Illusionary Eye Technique to make the surrounding area appear as bright as day in the darkness.

Soon, he was getting closer and closer to the desolate village. Under the cover of darkness, the deserted village seemed even more silent.

Lin Xiaofei stopped and looked around. The village was surrounded by mud walls and rooftops, all overgrown with wild grass and trees.

He knew that this completely dilapidated village contained many medicinal herbs and many cold, wild beasts, and that the village exuded a sinister and chilling aura.

After thinking it over, he realized that in order to gather herbs and collect a large number of cold and yin beasts and yin energy for his Beast Gathering Bottle, this desolate Mulberry Leaf Village was a good place for him. So, he decided to go into the village to take a look.

Now, he already possesses a mid-grade magic weapon, which has further enhanced his strength, making him less afraid of this strange Mulberry Leaf Village.

As Lin Xiaofei slowly approached the vicinity of Sangye Village, countless chilling energies emanated from the air, gradually rushing towards him and impacting his skin, causing him to feel a chill.

He slowly circulated his internal energy, and a powerful surge of heat instantly coursed through his body, dispelling the chill on his skin.

Lin Xiaofei knew that the dilapidated village in front of him was hiding many cold and evil beasts, and it was very likely that this place was already the den of cold and evil beasts.

To avoid attracting a large number of strange beasts, he approached cautiously.

As soon as you step into the entrance of Sangye Village, you see several grayish-white crawling insects, which look like giant silkworms. Each one is more than a meter long and is wriggling towards the entrance of the village.

Soon, the giant silkworms, each a meter long, raised their bodies, wriggled faster, and rushed towards Lin Xiaofei.

Is this a worm?

Lin Xiaofei looked at it, a strange expression on his face.

These enormous silkworms, with their plump bodies, seemed to have solid flesh, which was somewhat different from what he had seen three years ago.

"The insects I saw back then weren't very big, but now they've grown so big. They've grown too fast; they've become wild beasts."

As Lin Xiaofei thought to himself, he soon saw the giant silkworms rushing over, transforming into streaks of white figures, opening their small mouths, swallowing white silk, and swooping down.

These enormous silkworms wriggled faster and faster, like a venomous snake pouncing on a mouse.

"receive!"

Seeing the giant silkworms rushing towards him, Lin Xiaofei did not hesitate at all. He took out the Beast Gathering Bottle and poured in spiritual energy.

In an instant, a whirlwind-like force erupted from the Beast Gathering Bottle, drawing in the enormous worms with a powerful suction.

Instantly, the two beast kings inside the beast-gathering bottle pounced and devoured the long worms.

Lin Xiaofei effortlessly captured seven or eight cold, wild beasts. He hesitated for a moment, then stopped and stood at the village entrance to wait for any beasts to rush out.

After waiting for a while, sure enough, some more cold, long insects rushed over.

Perhaps it was because Lin Xiaofei had entered the den of these wild beasts that he had angered many of the cold and gloomy creatures. In a short period of time, hundreds of giant worms, each over a meter long, pounced on him, their mouths filled with cold and gloomy energy.

These cold, eerie creatures were far more powerful than the wild beasts he had captured in the desolate green fields outside Qingshan Town.

This Mulberry Leaf Village has become a special, cold place, very suitable for the survival of cold beasts. This has made these long worms somewhat special, able to exhale cold energy, and the power they unleash is almost close to that of an ordinary early-stage martial artist.

At least half of these charging, chilling beasts possessed the formidable physiques of ordinary mid-stage martial artists. If they were to escape beyond the village, nearby villages eight or nine miles away would suffer, or even be attacked by these extraordinary beasts.

Fortunately, the wild beasts of the cold only like to stay in cold and damp places; otherwise, they would have already rushed out of this dilapidated village.

Once these chilling beasts break out of the village, they will bring disaster to some villagers. However, the chilling aura of Mulberry Leaf Village is growing stronger and stronger, spreading outwards, filling the nearby grass and woods with a chilling energy.

Lin Xiaofei glanced around, thinking to himself.

He knew that these cold and gloomy beasts liked to stay in cold and gloomy places, but he couldn't guarantee that some of them wouldn't run away from Mulberry Leaf Village.

Of course, the fact that cold-blooded beasts stay in cold places is also a form of protection for them. In the environment of cold places, their strength will gradually increase, and other beasts that do not like cold places will not approach them.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei quickly activated his spiritual energy, and in an instant, the hundreds of cold and gloomy beasts that rushed up were sucked into the Beast Gathering Bottle.

Meanwhile, the wild beasts inside the beast-gathering bottle also began to tear each other apart.

These frigid beasts were incredibly powerful. They tore at each other and devoured one another. In no time, after more than a hundred frigid beasts had eaten each other, only one remained.

This cold, frigid beast was no weaker than the other two beast kings.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei gently touched a pattern in the Beast Gathering Bottle, and the cold, serpentine creature became connected with the pattern, transforming into another beast king within the bottle.

Before long, Lin Xiaofei collected a large number of cold and gloomy beasts, raised eight beast kings, and then summoned all of these cold and gloomy beast kings to guard him.

These cold and eerie beast kings, each exuding a dense aura of coldness, with icy eyes and gaping mouths that resembled ferocious tigers, looked extremely savage.

Their ferocious and cold faces seem to devour all beasts. If an ordinary person were to pass by, they would probably run away as fast as they could, and if they were too slow, they would likely be caught and eaten.

Eight icy beast kings guarded Lin Xiaofei's side, which further enhanced his combat power. Now, he was even more confident in facing the strange beasts in Sangye Village.

He stopped collecting the cold, wild beasts and headed straight for the village.

As soon as Lin Xiaofei stepped out of the village, he immediately felt an even stronger chilling aura rushing towards him.

Fortunately, he slowly circulated his internal energy to keep the intense cold air from entering his body.

Then, he continued walking deeper into Sangye Village.

Shh! Shh! Shh!

Countless cold, frigid beasts moved swiftly through the overgrown rooms, the walls covered with small trees, and the rooftops lush with branches, emitting low growls.
