Lin Feng closed his eyes and began to feel his body.

What did this high-stakes gamble, risking his life, ultimately bring him?

In an instant, his world changed.

His perception was no longer limited to his eyes and ears. An invisible, tidal wave of spiritual tentacles spread out in all directions from his body.

He "saw" the rock structure at the top of the cave and the tiny moss growing tenaciously in the crevices of the rocks.

He "saw" every flickering flame in the campfire and felt the light and heat they emitted.

The spiritual energy continued to extend, penetrating the thick rock wall.

He "saw" outside the cave, where Li Xiangbin had blocked the entrance with a boulder for safety.

He could clearly "perceive" the weight and density of the boulder, and even "see" the tiny cracks on its surface caused by weathering.

His senses continued to expand outwards: fifty meters, one hundred meters, three hundred meters...

He "saw" the giant tree in the basin that exuded a powerful life force, the corpse of the blue python, and even some small carrion creatures that were wandering around the corpse.

He "saw" further away, on the cliff edge of the basin, a snow-white fox was curled up in its den, its ears perked up warily.

This feeling was incredibly wonderful and incredibly powerful.

"Brother Feng? Brother Feng? What's wrong?" Li Xiangbin saw Lin Feng with his eyes closed, his brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes furrowed, and couldn't help but feel worried.

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes. The fatigue in his eyes had dissipated considerably, replaced by a deep, all-seeing light.

"I'm fine," he said softly, then his gaze fell on the boulder blocking the cave entrance, and a thought struck him.

He tentatively mobilized the power of his "telekinesis," gathering it into an invisible hand that enveloped the massive boulder weighing several tons.

"Rise," he murmured to himself.

A faint, almost imperceptible friction sound came from the cave entrance.

Before Li Xiangbin and the women could react to what was happening, they saw the boulder, which Li Xiangbin had struggled with all his might to barely move, silently and steadily slide several meters to the side, revealing the bright world outside.

Everyone stared wide-eyed and held their breath, as if they were mortals witnessing a miracle.

Li Xiangbin's mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg. He pointed at the floating stone, then at Lin Feng with his eyes closed. His expression shifted from shock to horror, and finally to fervent worship.

It's done!

Lin Feng was overjoyed. He felt as if an invisible hand had extended from his body, allowing him to manipulate the stone at will.

With another thought, the stone began to fly steadily in the air under his mental control, sometimes accelerating, sometimes circling, and sometimes remaining still.

Then, he increased the output of his mental energy.

"Click!"

With a soft sound, the hard stone shattered into two pieces in mid-air without warning.

"Snap! Snap!"

With a few more crisp sounds, the stone was continuously broken down, eventually turning into a handful of fine stone powder that drifted in the wind.

After doing all this, a strong sense of exhaustion instantly surged into Lin Feng's brain, as if he hadn't slept for several days and nights, making him dizzy.

He then realized that this powerful force called "telekinesis" could not be used without restraint.

Each use, especially when performing precise control and powerful output, consumes a large amount of his "mental energy." Once his mental energy is excessively depleted, he will feel extremely fatigued.

However, even with these restrictions, it is already terrifying enough.

Whether used for long-range reconnaissance or for killing enemies, it is a piece of cake.

He opened his eyes, looked at the faces of the crowd that looked as if they had seen a ghost, and gave a weak smile.

"Help me up," he said to Li Xiangbin.

"Yes! Brother Feng!" Li Xiangbin seemed to wake from a dream and quickly and carefully helped Lin Feng up, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a rare treasure.

The women also came to their senses, and the way they looked at Lin Feng had completely changed.

If before they regarded Lin Feng as a strong and savior they could rely on and trust, now, in their hearts, Lin Feng is a living god.

In a single thought, one can suspend a stubborn rock in mid-air; in a single thought, one can turn solid rock into powder.

This was completely beyond their comprehension; it was a power that only existed in myths and legends.

“I…we…we witnessed a real miracle…” Chen Jing murmured to herself, unaware that her glasses had slipped off her nose at some point.

As a staunch materialist, her worldview, which she had built up over the past two decades, was shattered at this moment and then rebuilt in a completely new way, centered around Lin Feng.

“Mr. Lin…” A woman even knelt down uncontrollably, bowing down to Lin Feng in worship, her eyes filled with unprecedented fervor.

"Get up, all of you." Lin Feng frowned slightly, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable air of authority.

The woman trembled and immediately stood up, but lowered her head even further.

Li Luoshen took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She looked at Lin Feng with an incredibly complex expression. This man, every time, seemed to redefine her understanding of the word "powerful."

She couldn't find any words to describe it.

Perhaps, he was born a god.

“Mr. Lin, your health…” Li Luoshen stepped forward and asked with concern, her voice trembling slightly.

"It's nothing, just a bit exhausted. I'll be fine after a few days of rest." Lin Feng said calmly, feeling his spiritual energy slowly recovering. "The energy of this fruit is too enormous; my body needs time to adapt and absorb it."

He paused, then turned his gaze to the corpse of the enormous blue python.

"Li Xiangbin."

"Here I am, Brother Feng!"

“This snake is a treasure.” A glint of light flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes. “Its scales are incredibly hard, making them excellent materials for crafting armor. Its flesh contains immense energy, which, while not as powerful as this fruit, is still a great tonic for our current bodies. Its venom sacs must be handled with care; they are highly venomous, but also a powerful weapon.”

"Understood!" Li Xiangbin nodded emphatically, his face showing excitement. He had been eyeing the giant python's corpse for a long time.

"Go and dispose of the corpses, and collect anything useful," Lin Feng ordered the group. "Chen Jing, you're in charge of preparing the soup. Make the snake meat into a broth and distribute it to everyone, including these strange beasts. This will help you recover your strength as quickly as possible and also help them heal their wounds."

"Yes!" Chen Jing immediately accepted the order.

"We'll rest here for three days," Lin Feng decided. "After three days, we'll set off back to the shelter."

"Return to the shelter!"

Upon hearing this word, all the women's faces lit up with longing and excitement.

The shelter, the legendary paradise, are they finally going back to it?

Over the next three days, this basin, once a marvel of nature, transformed into a bustling, large-scale processing plant.

Li Xiangbin demonstrated his professional skills as a butcher, and under his guidance, people began to carefully dismember the blue python, which was as large as a small mountain.

Peeling off the scales was the most difficult task. Each sapphire-like scale was as large as a washbasin, with sharp edges and extremely tight attachment to the skin and flesh. They used all sorts of tools to barely pry them off piece by piece.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, was recuperating quietly, constantly familiarizing himself with and mastering his newly acquired power.

Telekinesis was more magical and powerful than he had imagined.

On the first day, he was already able to skillfully manipulate any object within a ten-meter range. He even tried using telekinesis to lift his own body.

Although he felt mentally exhausted after only being a few centimeters off the ground and maintaining that position for just over ten seconds, it undoubtedly proved that as long as his mental strength was strong enough, he might even be able to fly in the air in the future.

The next day, he began to try combining telekinesis with his swordsmanship.

He drew the long sword that had been with him for a long time.

Lin Feng tried to spread this invisible telekinetic energy across the entire blade like flowing water.

"Buzz..."

The longsword emitted a soft hum. To the onlookers, the sword appeared unchanged. But to Lin Feng, it had transformed into a completely new weapon.

He could feel the telekinetic energy vibrating rapidly at the blade's edge, forming an invisible yet indestructible "telekinetic blade."

He casually swung his knife at a boulder that was taller than a person not far away.

He didn't use any strength; his movements were light and effortless, as if he were waving a straw.

"Whoosh!"

An invisible blade of light detached from the knife and instantly swept past the boulder.

silence.

After a second of silence.

"Crack..."

A smooth, mirror-like cut appeared in the center of the boulder. The upper half of the boulder slowly slid down, crashing to the ground with a loud "boom," kicking up a cloud of dust.

The cut surface is so smooth it can be used as a mirror!

"Gulp."

Li Xiangbin swallowed hard, and his hand holding the warhammer began to tremble slightly again.

He knew that even if he used all his strength and smashed the boulder with his warhammer, he could only create some cracks at most.

And Brother Feng, he simply swung his knife lightly from several meters away...

What terrifying destructive power this is!

If this blade were aimed at him... Li Xiangbin dared not think any further. He felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

The women were stunned, their mouths agape, barely daring to breathe.

They finally understood intuitively what the power Lin Feng displayed after waking up truly meant.

This means that there is probably nothing in this world that can stop him now.

Lin Feng himself was very satisfied with the power of this strike. Integrating telekinesis into the blade not only greatly enhanced the destructive power of the slash, but also gave his attack range and area of ​​effect a qualitative leap.

He even had a feeling that as long as his mental energy was concentrated enough, he could control this "mind blade" and make small-scale turns and pursuits in the air.

This will become one of his most powerful killing moves.

By the third day, everyone had recovered to their peak condition.

Thanks to the rich soup made from the giant python's flesh and blood, the women not only fully recovered their strength, but also had a completely renewed appearance, with their skin becoming more delicate and radiant, as if they had been reborn.

Meanwhile, the injuries of the other beast companions had mostly healed.

In particular, the two Shining Falcons, after consuming a large amount of energy-rich snake meat, have had their wings, which had been corroded by venom, regrow new feathers. Although they are still short, they no longer affect their flight.

Ironically, it was "White Moonlight" who recovered the slowest. The python's venom had an extra restraining effect on this sacred creature, and even with the energy replenishment from the snake meat, its recovery speed was still unsatisfactory. The scars on its body were still shocking, and its spirit was somewhat weak.

Lin Feng saw it all and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He walked to the side of White Moonlight, gently stroked its dull fur, and then pressed his forehead against its forehead.

He did not use any more fruits, but instead slowly and gently transferred the newly formed golden power within him, which had been fused with the energy of the fruits, into Bai Yueguang's body through contact.

"Waaah..."

The white moonlight let out a soft, soothing hum. It could feel an incredibly pure life energy, originating from the same source as itself, nourishing its damaged body.

Its holy light became brighter and more intense at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Half an hour later, when Lin Feng withdrew his hand and his face turned somewhat pale, Bai Yueguang had already stood up again.

Although its scars hadn't completely disappeared, the scabs had fallen off, revealing new pink skin. Its sapphire-like eyes had also regained their sparkle.

It raised its noble head and affectionately nuzzled Lin Feng's cheek with its crystal horn, expressing its gratitude and attachment.

Seeing this scene, the women's hearts were once again deeply touched.

"Alright, let's get going."

Lin Feng stood up and looked around.

Everyone was ready to go. The python's scales were made into simple breastplates and arm guards and distributed to everyone.

A large quantity of dried snake meat was packed into his bag. Li Xiangbin even carried the enormous snake tendon on his shoulder, intending to take it back for research.

The atmosphere within the team was completely different from when they arrived.

When I arrived, I was filled with fear, anxiety, and confusion about the unknown.

Now, every face radiates determination and hope. Their gazes remain fixed on the figure leading the way.

As long as he's there, nothing can stop them.
