Two days later, Li Fan crossed Wolf Valley.
The forest before me was exceptionally lush.
Even under the blazing sun, the forest remained remarkably cool.
Li Fan hadn't gone deep into the forest, but the tiger he killed two years ago had come from there.
After he killed the tiger and left, he heard a roar that shook the mountains and forests.
That's why he didn't explore it further.
laugh!
As soon as they entered, venomous snakes, resembling withered trees on the ground, shot towards them.
Tap!
As the venomous snake's body, now split in two, fell to the ground, Li Fan had already walked forward.
From the ground soil, black ants the size of soybeans swarmed out, and the venomous snake's carcass disappeared at a visible speed.
......
Hunting monsters is harder than I imagined.
Li Fan traveled through the forest for two days, but the traces he could find were all messy, and he had no way of knowing where the monster's lair was.
Fortunately, I have been hunting beasts for three years and have enough patience.
From the moment he entered the forest, Li Fan stopped practicing with his sword and bow.
He conserved his energy and tried to make himself appear like an ordinary "prey".
......
The fifth day in the forest.
At night, Li Fan lit a bonfire, illuminating the darkness.
The shadows of beasts kept lengthening before disappearing.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Fan felt a chill run down his spine.
This sense of crisis.
He experienced this countless times in his past lives.
It was this keen intuition that allowed him, an ordinary person, to struggle for three years in the apocalypse.
He did not draw his bow and nock an arrow immediately.
Because the lurking monsters were also testing the waters.
......
The stalemate continued, and as time passed, the campfire grew dimmer and dimmer, and the chill behind them became increasingly eerie.
Finally, just as Li Fan was adding more firewood to the campfire, he heard the sound of wind breaking behind him.
It's here!
Li Fan turned around, drew his bow, and nocked an arrow in one swift motion.
stretch!
The bowstring vibrated, and the arrow flew out.
Clang!
Sparks flew in the darkness.
The half-person-high rock shattered into pieces and crashed to the ground.
Beside the rock, a black tiger pounced.
Without a second thought, Li Fan released the iron bow.
Burning Blood Annihilation Slash!
The long sword was drawn and collided with the oncoming beast's claws.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the black tiger's claws were instantly severed.
The long sword slashed down with unstoppable force.
Blood spurted out, and the Blood Drinking Technique was activated.
A familiar, intense heat surged into my body.
The life force of demonic beasts is useful.
His own special ability can also make his body stronger.
Black Tiger, in pain, opened its mouth wide and tried to bite Li Fan's head.
Li Fan didn't rush in; he pushed off to the side to create distance.
Snap!
In the darkness, the tiger's tail, like an iron whip, lashed at his body.
Li Fan swung his sword backhand.
puff!
The long sword slashed through the air, and the black tiger vanished into the darkness.
Trying to run away?
Li Fan picked up the iron-rimmed bow and fired another arrow.
Pfft!
In the darkness, blood-red light bloomed.
Li Fan drew his sword and gave chase.
......
One man and one beast, one chasing and one fleeing.
We passed through the forest and crossed the stream.
Black Tiger charged into a valley, and Li Fan immediately stopped the pursuit.
run!
He turned and ran without the slightest hesitation.
Chen Kui emphasized to him more than once that monsters possess intelligence.
This is the Black Tiger's lair, surrounded by sheer cliffs on all sides.
If it weren't absolutely certain of victory, it certainly wouldn't have lured Li Fan here.
Not knowing what was going on inside, Li Fan didn't plan to go in.
......
"roar!"
At the entrance to the valley, a magnificent tiger roars to the sky.
A terrifying demonic power surged outwards, causing sand and stones to swirl wildly.
Thank goodness I escaped!
Turning around and seeing this scene, Li Fan secretly rejoiced.
I am not yet a match for this monster.
Back in the mountains, Li Fan put away the Iron Bow and left immediately.
He had no intention of setting foot in the vicinity again until he was a match for the striped tiger.
......
On the ninth day after Li Fan entered the mountains, he found a suitable hunting target.
A demonic beast, the Blood-Striped Python.
That's why it's called that.
It's because its skin is covered with blood-red lines.
Li Fan did not take immediate action. Instead, he began to drive away the large wild beasts around the Blood-Striped Python's lair.
Left with no other choice, the blood-striped python began to expand its hunting range.
As a demonic beast, the Blood-Striped Python, once it awakens its intelligence, is driven not only by the instinct for survival.
To become stronger, it needs to eat constantly.
Nevertheless, it remained very cautious.
They hide during the day and are active at night, remaining alert to all movements around them.
Its hunting routes also follow rivers.
If something goes wrong, they can quickly escape by using the river.
Three more days passed, and the blood-striped python found it increasingly difficult to obtain food.
That night, when it went out to hunt again, Li Fan quietly sneaked into its den.
The stench was overwhelming, and the cave was covered with large amounts of shed snakeskin.
Bones and fur from various wild animals were mixed in with the feces.
Tonight, the blood-striped python will have a full meal.
Because Li Fan deliberately drove two wild boars, each the size of a calf, to the vicinity of the river.
......
prey?
Is there any danger?
In the darkness, the Blood-Striped Python sensed an aura that attracted it.
It approached cautiously and circled the wild boar once.
After confirming that there is no danger.
The blood-striped python moved.
Two brief screams were followed by the sound of bones shattering.
The blood-striped python strangled the wild boar and then slowly swallowed it.
Under normal circumstances, it would not swallow two wild boars at once, as this would affect its speed.
But now, all it wants is a good meal.
After finishing its meal, the blood-striped python swam contentedly back towards its cave.
The moment it entered the cave, a sharp whooshing sound came.
The Blood-Striped Python realized something was wrong.
It turned and ran away.
However, having just eaten two wild boars, it was unable to turn around quickly.
Click!
The arrow struck the head of the blood-patterned python with tremendous force.
The scales split open, and the blood-striped python's head slammed against the cave wall.
Li Fan rushed out quickly.
Burning Blood Annihilation Slash!
Before the blood-striped python could react, the longsword struck its head with pinpoint accuracy.
The scales shattered, and the long knife embedded itself in the bone.
Sizzle!
The blood-striped python roared in pain.
Reason was consumed, and its tail lashed out at Li Fan like lightning.
Having achieved victory with a single strike, Li Fan did not rush forward. He pushed off with both legs, used the momentum to draw his long sword, and charged towards the Iron-Body Bow.
The blood-striped python pursued relentlessly.
Draw the bow, nock the arrow!
Duh!
The arrow struck the blood-patterned python's head precisely, and Li Fan charged forward once more.
The Blood Burning Annihilation Slash struck again.
The head of the Blood-Striped Python was severed.
The foul-smelling snake blood spurted out, and the headless body of the blood-patterned python frantically pounded against the stone wall.
Bloodthirst activated!
Li Fan avoided the snake's body and began to absorb its vital energy.
After an unknown amount of time, the Blood-Striped Python stopped struggling, and black, viscous liquid continued to seep from Li Fan's body.
Li Fan, carrying a sword and bow, quickly left the Blood-Striped Python's cave.
He needed to find a safe place to process the energy in his body.
