The bear, which had suffered a terrible fate, was released by a generous little fox after its meat was confirmed to be non-toxic through a meat quality test. All the edible parts of the bear were roasted and used as the last dish.
Finally, everyone held a barbecue dinner at the edge of the forest. Everyone was in high spirits, and quite a few people toasted Xiao Han.
Of course, the drinks we brought were all made from fruit, with an unusually low alcohol content and a slightly sour taste, but they were nice for setting the mood.
After Xiao Han had eaten and drunk his fill, every pore on his body was bursting with vital energy, his blood and qi were full, and a powerful force was surging within him, like a turbulent river.
The hunger he had felt from the depletion of his qi and blood finally disappeared, and his cells were filled with powerful activity. His fair skin radiated a crystal-clear luster, like platinum and soft jade, with a dark rose pattern merging and connecting, revealing vein-like patterns that appeared in a dark gold color, but were quickly covered by the white jade.
This is the essence of the Dark Bear, which excels in both offense and defense, further enhancing Xiao Han's physical body, mainly focusing on the three major attributes of physique, strength, and defense.
"As expected, monster meat is a great tonic for professionals!"
Xiao Han felt better than ever before. He had eaten a Dark Violent Bear, refined its potential, and burned the useless corpse into ashes (to make fertilizer). He was in an exceptionally good mood!
Monsters that have reached a certain rank contain abundant energy factors; eating one can save you several days of arduous training. However, these monsters are ferocious, and their meat sells for a high price in the market.
Moreover, valuable monsters are treasures from head to toe. For example, their fur can be made into leather armor, their fangs can be used as ornaments, and some of their limbs can be used as magical materials, making them highly sought after by secondary professions such as blacksmiths, enchanters, and apothecaries.
Getting back to the main point, the higher the level of the monster, the more its meat will increase cultivation speed and correspondingly boost attribute values.
As the saying goes, you are what you eat. Xiao Han, whose goal is to have a big penis and good kidneys, decided that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely kill a dragon to try it out, take a bath in its blood, feed its penis to the birds, and take the opportunity to sweep away the wealth accumulated in its cave for hundreds of years and donate it to charity.
Most importantly, tonight is the second night of our campaign, and the fact that the horse is still alive when I woke up this morning shows that the stupid system is just talking nonsense.
"yawn!"
After finishing his meal, Xiao Han touched his nose. The weather had turned cold recently, and winter was one step closer.
He raised his head slightly, his eyes blazing with fire, his gaze sweeping over a group of subordinates whose favorability rating was rapidly increasing by "+1", before settling on the depths of the Dark Moon Forest.
The source of the strangeness was that he thought it would be over once he dealt with the black mist in the ruins of the Divine Court.
However, too many strange changes have occurred in the Darkmoon Forest. Instead of hibernating to survive the harsh winter, the fattened monsters have become more ferocious, seemingly controlled by someone behind the scenes and turned into puppets.
Deep inside, there are bound to be well-laid traps, just waiting for him to blindly fall into them.
He deduced that the opponent's combat strength was not as invincible as he had imagined. If they were strongmen from the Golden Road, they wouldn't be so cowardly. They were probably demons at the Commander level who lured him there, and there must have been quite a few of them.
Without the double boost from Yili milk, his full combat power was only at the level of twelve times the human limit. However, he had seen through a sliver of the secrets of the Golden Path in advance. He wasn't afraid of being ganged up on, and the hamster suit he carried allowed him to run away while spouting some sarcastic remarks.
After a moment's thought, he summoned several mages with pork in their mouths from among his ecstatic subordinates to assist him with a few spells.
"Whoosh?! Whoosh! (￣▽￣)"
He closed his eyes slightly, spread his hands, and a scorching aura filled the void. Countless flame grasses took root and swayed their branches and leaves. A double-winged fire serpent formed from flames flapped its wings and leaped up, swirling up like a fighter jet ready to go into battle, and stopped in the void.
"call out!"
In the next instant, to everyone's stunned expressions, the two-winged fire serpent swooped down into the forest. The trees it passed through were instantly ignited by the demonic flames it carried, and soon a great fire broke out!
The firelight illuminated the astonished expressions of the crowd. Seeing the city lord's attempt to set the forest ablaze, they sensed that the lord was having an incredibly exciting time at the barbecue dinner and decided to set a fire to add to the festivities.
"We yearn for the land of free wind spirits, to walk through the elven forest, with the words of the ancient gods echoing in our ears. Intermediate spell: Ancient Wind Words!"
Several mages raised their fine staffs, their magic power drawing out more than a dozen magical patterns in the void, creating a whirlwind that covered hundreds of meters, and unleashing endless wind blades that slashed towards the sea of fire!
This magic is not very lethal, but it is effective in its long-lasting effect.
In an instant, the wind fanned the flames, and in just a moment, the dazzling flames surged like galloping horses. In the demonic flames ignited by Xiao Han, the twin-winged fire serpents roared, just like a diving fighter jet, carrying the pleasure of destruction, as they charged into the depths of the forest.
Soon, with the sudden surge of the wind, the surrounding temperature rose sharply, as if the air itself was scorching, making everyone's faces glow.
Adding to the commotion, a continuous gust of wind swept across everyone's faces, and even the aftershocks felt as if they were tearing their skin apart.
"boom!"
The combination of the demonic flames and the gale was like a primordial beast, rushing towards the Dark Moon Forest at lightning speed. The fire spread very quickly, reaching a speed of thirty meters per second.
Moreover, at Xiao Han's instruction, the area covered by the wind was distributed in a fan shape, and the fire was burning fiercely, attempting to burn through the entire Dark Moon Forest in one night.
With winter approaching and the need to pay New Year's visits to various lords in the wasteland, there's simply no energy left to conduct a large-scale search for their whereabouts.
Therefore, setting fire to the forest is a simple and brutal way to force out the source of the fire and, incidentally, wipe out the ambush carefully set up by the other party.
Even if the other party backs down, hides, or moves away cursing, the aerial reconnaissance has a certain chance of detecting it and reporting it to Xiao Han.
You want me to go into the forest?
Impossible, unless you come out and share a drink with me. After all, meeting is fate, we're like family, why are you being so polite with me?
After setting the forest ablaze, amidst the awe-inspiring expressions of the crowd, Xiao Han returned to the imperial carriage, wrapped himself in a bearskin blanket, and drifted off to sleep.
Sleep is the best way to replenish energy.
"Go to your posts, remain vigilant, and don't disturb the city lord's rest!"
Khrushchev's order brought the bewildered crowd to their senses. They formed a large circular formation on the chariots, remaining on guard and taking turns on watch during the first and second halves of the night.
Afterwards, he and several guards cooked a large pot over the campfire. As Khrushchev added seasonings and prepared a sumptuous breakfast for the little fox, he kept an eye on the burning forest and scouted for enemy positions. His cheek twitched slightly as he did so.
