Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 59 First Battle Against Monsters
Chen Li casually dealt with a rogue, returned to the cave, and asked Zhou Hong:

How much food do we have left?

"It won't last another ten days!" Zhou Hong said.

Chen Li nodded: "Yes, don't worry, I'll get another batch in the next few days."

As someone who cultivates his body, his daily energy expenditure is astonishing.

Aside from everything else, he eats three catties of demon beast meat every day. Especially after he ran out of Blood Qi Pills, his appetite increased even more. It can be said that he eats most of the food in the house.

However, the results were also significant.

With his current strength, he can easily lift a ton of rock.

This is still pure power.

If it's about explosive power, all his muscles coordinate, and his strength is concentrated into one, which can unleash five or six times the power of this.

……

"Where will we get the food?"

Lying in bed late at night, Chen Li silently made plans in his mind.

The independent repairmen in the shantytowns no longer dare to venture into the wilderness, as most of them are probably running out of food and supplies, and have no extra food to sell.

"The only solution is to try and get something from the monsters!"

In fact, I practiced the close combat technique of traction for almost half a month.

Chen Li was also getting restless and couldn't help but think about finding a weaker monster to test his sword against.

Now is undoubtedly the perfect time.

……

From then on, Chen Li would go out late at night.

He quietly left the cave and began wandering around the shantytown, even daring to search along the riverbank and in the wilderness, but for some reason, he found nothing for several days in a row.

I did hear the commotion of a monster once during that time.

But by the time they arrived, the monster had vanished without a trace.

Things didn't take a turn for the better until late on the fourth day.

As Chen Li left the shantytown and searched along the edge of the wilderness, he heard heavy footsteps. He quickly hid behind a slope and concealed himself.

The tender green grass of early spring, carrying the fresh fragrance of plants, cannot conceal its presence.

Chen Li carefully lay down on the slope and looked into the distance.

Under the pale moonlight, a huge monster with crimson eyes and a dark brown body slowly walked towards them.

It has rough, wrinkled skin like tree bark, a short tail, no horns, and a body length of about six meters from head to tail.

Logically, a creature of this size should be quite clumsy. However, this monster moved with an agility that was extremely disproportionate to its size.

As it walked, its eyes kept looking left and right, its nose kept sniffing the air, and it would occasionally stop briefly to listen to something, appearing unusually cautious.

At first, Chen Li thought he had been discovered.

But upon further reflection, it became clear.

Monsters aren't naturally all-encompassing; they're all different species, and fighting among them is probably commonplace. The fact that so many monsters have gathered near the shantytown suggests it's wary of its 'fellow monsters'.

"It's a low-level demonic beast, completely lacking the terrifying aura of that second-tier demonic beast from before."

Chen Li made his judgment and waited for it to get closer.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The two are getting closer and closer.

The beast's heavy breathing sounded clearly in his ears like a bellows, and his keen sense of smell could already detect the stench emanating from it.

Chen Li's heart was pounding violently.

He opened and closed his mouth, silently chanting a spell.

At the same time, both hands quickly form a mudra.

With frequent practice over this period, the Traction spell has advanced to the 'proficient' level, and spell failures are now rare.

The domain quickly expanded.

"It's done!"

After Chen Li put a protective talisman on himself, he leaped up, unleashing his full power and reaching his maximum speed in a short period of time.

His legs crossed like the wind, creating an aura like a category 7 typhoon, whipping up countless sand and leaves that formed a long wave behind him.

The monster sensed the commotion and quickly looked towards Chen Li. Its fangs were slightly bared as it let out a warning roar, but its limbs began to retreat, seemingly uneasy about the human who was rapidly approaching it.

Chen Li ran faster and faster. The hundred-meter distance passed in a flash.

The monster suddenly sensed danger and turned to flee.

But it was too late.

Then Chen Li shouted loudly.

"Die!"

The reprimand technique is activated.

The monster was so frightened that it almost collapsed to the ground, its body stiffening on the spot.

Urine and feces flowed uncontrollably from the lower body.

An expert-level reprimand is comparable to a first-tier intermediate spell.

For low-level demonic beasts whose mental capacity is far inferior to that of human cultivators, it is incredibly effective, delivering a critical hit.

He froze for a full second.

It had barely recovered its senses when it let out a mournful cry and frantically tried to move its weak limbs, desperately attempting to escape.

But at this point, how could Chen Li possibly let it escape?

Another 'scolding technique'

This time, it was so frightened that it collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, as if it had encountered a natural enemy, looking like it was waiting to be slaughtered.

That's it! ?
Chen Li stopped and couldn't help but scratch his head.

All the tension we felt beforehand was for nothing.

I didn't expect him to be so bad.

He looked at the beast, which was clearly terrified, and felt somewhat troubled.

He still has many moves he hasn't used yet; he needs to practice them.

"stand up!"

He used his spiritual power to flick his finger.

"Boom!"

A bloody hole the size of a bowl was blasted open on the monster's body.

The monster trembled, let out a mournful cry, and offered no resistance whatsoever.

It must be said that the monsters are physically strong.

The spiritual energy flick that could shatter a protective shield with just two strikes only caused superficial wounds to the demonic beast.

Despite the size of the wound, which was over twenty centimeters deep, it was not fatal to this enormous beast. Its outer skin was five centimeters thick, and the underlying layers of fat and muscle were excessively thick.

Chen Li repeatedly released spiritual energy and flicked his fingers.

Unfortunately, the monster did nothing more than howl.

"Forget it, things might get complicated if the wailing attracts a second-tier demon beast, that would be terrible." Chen Li thought to himself, "I'll find another opportunity to test my sword later."

immediately.

He silently chanted the incantation.

He used his rebuke technique again to intimidate the monster.

While it was distracted,

Chen Li leaped five or six meters in one step. At the same time, he drew his sword, and a cold sword light, carrying a terrifying force, flashed away.

Sword strikes!

Throat severed!

After drawing his sword, Chen Li continued moving quickly for several steps, stopping only after he had traveled dozens of meters away.

His gaze was fixed on the dying beast.

It finally struggled to its feet, but a large amount of blood gushed from its throat like a high-pressure jet, and it let out a hoarse and breathless desperate cry. As the blood flowed away, it grew weaker and weaker.

His body swayed a few times.

It finally crashed to the ground with a loud thud, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Until the monster made no further movement.

Chen Licai stepped forward, took out the flying sword from his sleeve, and flicked it casually. The sword flashed with sharp light, manipulating the body to dissect it.

The monster's corpse must weigh five or six tons; he couldn't possibly move it all at once.
