"Creak! Creak!"
The rat-beast couldn't bear the pain in its body and let out several cries of pain.
The owner sent it to retrieve what rightfully belonged to the owner, but it couldn't resist its greed and swallowed a pill, which was now causing severe damage to its body.
It was terrified and began to struggle, trying to get out of its current situation, but it couldn't change the outcome at all. The power of the Poisonous Beast Pill quickly spread throughout its body, causing it extreme pain. The screams of the rat-beasts came out of its mouth involuntarily.
Its originally sturdy and strong body was continuously damaged by the power of the Poisonous Beast Pill within a short period of time, causing it to bleed all over its body.
It was originally a newly evolved beast, with a physique more than twice as strong as a large water buffalo. However, due to a poisonous beast pill, its body gradually weakened, and its strength was greatly reduced.
It was terrified, as if death was imminent. The rat-beast forgot its master's command, jumped off the table, and prepared to escape.
However, Lin Xiaofei, who was fast asleep, was awakened by a series of strange screams. He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
Turning my head, I saw a black rat-like beast leap from the table, turning into a small black shadow, about to jump to the ground.
"court death!"
Lin Xiaofei frowned, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He rapidly circulated his internal energy, leaped off the bed, and with a single step, his figure flashed. At the same time, he gathered power in one hand.
Piercing Palm!
He slammed out a powerful palm strike!
With the completion of the Flowing Palm technique, coupled with Lin Xiaofei's strength at the mid-stage of an ordinary martial artist level, a powerful force erupted from his body, far exceeding his previous full-force attack.
A sharp, tiger-like aura, along with the force in his arm, quickly flowed into his palm, striking the rat-beast's body directly.
Bang!
This rat-beast, like a helpless chick, was sent flying by a single blow, blood splattering everywhere. It landed on the ground with a thud, its body struggling weakly for a few moments before going still.
The bleeding body was dead!
The tense atmosphere eased as the rat-like beast fell completely silent.
"How come this rat-beast is so weak? It was killed with a single slap."
Lin Xiaofei thought to himself.
The reason why he could easily kill this rat beast with a single palm strike was largely due to the significant role played by the Poisonous Beast Pill.
The poisonous beast pill's effects wreaked havoc within its body, reducing the rat beast's strength by more than half. Combined with Lin Xiaofei's significant improvement in strength, this allowed him to easily kill it with a single palm strike.
"Judging from its appearance, this rat-beast looks very similar to the one we killed last time. Could it have been sent by him?"
Lin Xiaofei carefully observed the rat-beast lying on the ground, pondering, and a figure flashed through his mind.
"Zhang Yugui!"
Lin Xiaofei paused for a moment, then immediately thought of the rat beast's owner.
Within the residence of the Qingfeng Gang's branch, there were numerous martial arts masters.
Ordinary wild animals, if they try to sneak into the gang's territory, are easily spotted by the gang members who patrol at night, and thus surrounded and killed.
However, this rat-beast had grown into a strange beast. Not only could it bypass the disciples on night patrol and enter the inner disciples' quarters, but it even entered its own room. What a coincidence!
Therefore, he guessed that if this wasn't Zhang Yugui's doing, then who else could it be?
Only exotic beasts could possibly enter the inner disciples' quarters, since they possess some low-level magic that allows them to evade the patrolling disciples.
"It seems they want this rat-beast to take the collar."
As Lin Xiaofei thought to himself, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He originally thought that Zhang Yugui wouldn't dare to act rashly while he was in the gang, so he could improve his strength first. However, he didn't expect that the other party would secretly use such methods, as if he had no scruples at all.
Of course, it wasn't Zhang Yugui himself who showed up; he only sent out a strange beast. This method effectively concealed the other party's identity, which was a very clever move.
Even if this rat-beast is killed, no one else will know that it was him.
"His little tricks are useless against me. I'd better stay in the gang and continue to cultivate to improve my strength."
Lin Xiaofei thought for a moment and thought to himself.
Then, he turned his head and glanced at the small porcelain bottle that was tilted on the table. The poisonous beast pills inside were gone, and he immediately understood why this rat beast was so weak.
This rat-beast was probably attracted by the strange fragrance of the Poisonous Beast Pill, which led it to swallow it. The effects of the medicine then took hold, causing the commotion that followed.
Lin Xiaofei thought for a moment, then took out a Poisonous Beast Pill and placed it on a corner of the table.
Since the Poisonous Beast Pill can attract strange beasts, once the beasts swallow it, it will cause harm and thus cause a disturbance. This can be considered a form of enticement, and it also serves as an early warning function.
If another strange beast comes next time, this Poison Beast Pill might come in handy.
With his current strength, although he is no longer afraid of such beasts, it is difficult to predict what kind of beasts the other party will send to deal with him. Therefore, he does not want to be ambushed by beasts.
The second day passed, then the third day passed.
After the rat beast was killed, no other strange beasts sneaked into his room, and everything was normal for the next two days.
Having not seen any strange beasts infiltrate the area in the past two days, Lin Xiaofei didn't think much of it and continued cultivating and refining medicine.
"In two days, I have refined eight Poison Beast Pills. This time, I should be able to completely destroy the collar and extract the red seed inside."
Looking at the eight Poisonous Beast Pills in the porcelain bottle, Lin Xiaofei thought to himself.
For him right now, improving his strength is the safest thing to do.
Thinking of the eight Poisonous Beast Pills, the red seed inside the collar, and the potent red fruit, he felt that as long as he swallowed a few red fruits, he could better assist him in cultivating the second level of the Three Body Tempering Techniques.
Then, his strength will increase accordingly, and he may even completely break through the flesh-refining level.
It can be said that any herb planted on the black soil is a guarantee for his rapid improvement.
Without much thought, Lin Xiaofei poured a Poisonous Beast Pill into his palm, and then placed it together with the collar.
In an instant, the luster on the surface of the Poison Beast Pill gradually dimmed, and the exotic fragrance gradually disappeared. Like a faint wisp of white smoke, it drifted out from the Poison Beast Pill and headed towards the collar.
When that faint wisp of white smoke touched the collar, it was as if someone was inhaling air, drawing all the white smoke into the collar.
Within two or three breaths, the Poisonous Beast Pill turned completely gray, lost its fragrance, and two cracks appeared on the collar.
Lin Xiaofei glanced at the collar with two cracks, and without hesitation, took out another Poisonous Beast Pill and placed it next to the collar.
In an instant, the collar broke off at two cracks, and a red seed rolled out.
