Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 75 Midnight Hunt
When Chen Li came out of Zhang Yan's house.

I now have a thick stack of talismans in my hands.

102 Lightness Talismans.

32 Arrow-Avoiding Talismans.

A Lightness Talisman is currently worth four low-grade spirit stones, and an Arrow Avoidance Talisman is currently worth two low-grade spirit stones.

Even after selling everything and deducting Zhao Lin's share, there would still be at least two mid-grade spirit stones in income.

This money is a welcome relief for him, who is currently in dire need of funds.

"But it's still not enough," Chen Li sighed inwardly.

Mid-grade magical artifacts are much harder to sell than low-grade ones.

For the past two months or so.

Only four items were sold in total.

Although each item has a high unit price, averaging 3 mid-grade spirit stones, the total is only 12 mid-grade spirit stones. With previous savings and the bits and pieces earned during this period, there are only about 16 mid-grade spirit stones on hand.

However, there are not many Qi-replenishing pills and blood-qi pills left.

It can only last for about ten days at most.

Thinking of the exorbitant price of these pills, Chen Li couldn't help but curse angrily again:
"Those damn pill sellers!"

……

That evening, Chen Li went to Zhao Lin's house disguised as a butcher and handed over some of the talismans to him to sell.

As the saying goes, rats have their paths, and snakes have theirs.

Perhaps because Zhao Lin was an adventurer by nature, he was usually cautious in his actions, and so far he has never had any accidents.

However, Chen Li also knew that the other party was not as obedient and compliant as he appeared, despite his seemingly honest demeanor.

If it were someone else, they would probably have a completely different face.

After all, how could someone who dares to go out at night, who would approach someone carrying monster meat, who recognizes him, and who is bold yet meticulous and willing to take risks, possibly be an honest person?

In fact, how many truly good people can survive in this shantytown?

There are many of those seemingly harmless rogue cultivators who smile at everyone, but turn into bloodthirsty bandits the moment they see a cracked egg.

Only children distinguish between good and bad people.

As far as Chen Li is concerned, anything that can be used by him is fine.

……

Four days later.

Chen Li's traction technique has finally reached the expert level.

With its radius exceeding twenty meters, the power of the law domain has become even greater.

Compared to the initial mastery level, the traction force has increased by a full five levels, and the conscious drive is more sensitive, even the subconscious can trigger a reaction in the law domain.

I'm increasingly feeling like I'm in a certain field.

Not only that, Chen Li also formally began to study the 'hemostasis treatment technique' in his spare time.

As he mastered more and more spells.

My understanding of magic is also gradually deepening. I can apply what I've learned to other things. This time, I studied the 'Hemostasis and Healing Spell' for less than thirty hours in total, and I've already mastered it. It's much faster than when I studied the Traction Spell.

As a first-tier, sixth-level spell, its effects are naturally extraordinary.

Chen Li once used himself as an experiment.

Any wound.

A single spell can stop the bleeding instantly and then heal rapidly. After a dozen minutes, only a faint mark remains. Moreover, the effect of this spell lasts for an extremely long time, almost an hour.

Whether before or after the spell is cast, any wounds will heal quickly.

This discovery made Chen Lidu take the spell a little more seriously.

If you cast a 'hemostasis and healing spell' on yourself before a battle, your survivability will undoubtedly be greatly increased.

Of course, at this stage, he can only think about it.

Casting a first-tier, sixth-level spell would consume one-third of his current spiritual power. Rather than increasing his survivability, it would be more like courting death. Perhaps this idea could only be realized when his cultivation level was higher.

Then, Chen Li remained silent for a few more days.

Proficient in 'hemostasis treatment techniques'.

With the pills about to run out, he could no longer restrain himself.

They were preparing to hunt down another monster.

……

A spring and summer.

That's enough to change a lot.

The weeds on the edge of the shantytown have grown to more than half a person's height, lush and verdant.

This place is almost entirely the territory of demonic beasts, and fewer and fewer humans set foot here. The paths that used to guide independent cultivators through the forest are long gone, replaced by various "beast paths."

The trails and footprints of all kinds of creatures, large and small, can be found on the surface, with various animal trails crisscrossing and seemingly dividing the entire wilderness into fragments.

Chen Li remained motionless, hidden in the grass.

His breathing was soft and long as he listened intently to every subtle sound.

It was still early, not yet past midnight.

Chen Li wasn't in a hurry.

Waiting quietly.

He knew that this place would soon become a major transportation route. Not long after, he felt a slight tremor in the ground and poked his head out of the grass.

Unfortunately, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the light was dim. He looked around for a long time but couldn't find any trace of it.

Obviously, the distance is too far.

After thinking about it, Chen Li gave up the idea of ​​chasing after him.

Not urgent!
I waited quietly for another hour.

Then another monster passed by, this time at a closer distance.

Through the dim light, Chen Lin could vaguely see its huge, dark silhouette.

This time, he wouldn't let it go.

He crouched low, using the grass for cover, and moved his feet quickly, making as little noise as possible, to get closer as fast as possible.

In fact, in the dead of night in the wilderness, such noise would go unnoticed and be perfectly normal.

Wild beasts darted through the grass like swords, accompanied by the cacophony of insects chirping and frogs croaking, and the heavy footsteps of the monster itself.

Under the cover of these sounds, Chen Li's actions did not attract the attention of the monsters at all.

Soon, the two drew closer and closer.

When the two are 100 meters apart.

Chen Li stopped again to observe carefully.

This is a demonic beast with blue scales all over its body, and jet-black bone armor covering its back. Sharp horns grow from its head, and strong limbs support its body. Its body, which is more than ten meters long from head to tail, is filled with great power.

As it moved, a straight, long tail, almost as long as its body, swayed slightly in the air. Apart from the sound of grass and trees breaking, even the chirping of insects disappeared.

He observed for a while.

It was ultimately determined that this was a first-tier demon beast.

Actually, it's quite simple to determine.

That is, the oppressive feeling brought about by the presence or absence of second-tier demonic beasts.

Chen Li finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He chanted incantations silently, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.

Once the legal domain is formed.

After giving himself another talisman, he picked up his sword and leaped into the air, moving as fast as an arrow, heading straight for the demon beast.

While running, he chanted the incantation for the palm thunder again.

The fluctuations in magical power finally alerted the monster.

It first tilted its head as if in doubt, then suddenly turned around.

The response was a thunderbolt from the palm of its hand.

A thin beam of lightning instantly traveled dozens of meters and struck its chest.

"Snapped!"

A burst of lightning flashed.

However, the monster's body only stiffened almost imperceptibly, leaving a black mark under its scales, before it recovered completely. It swayed its body, let out a low growl, and looked at the charging humans with a mocking yet bloodthirsty gaze.

This monster has eaten so many people that it has long lost its fear of humans.

Food will be delivered automatically to your door.

It didn't even move, its thick scales and bone plates clearly giving it considerable confidence.

Chen Li's eyes were cold as he continued walking.

He suddenly drew his sword, and with a few steps, pulled the monster closer to the range of the traction spell.

Gradually.

The monster became agitated and enraged.

It pounced and bit wildly, its huge tail sweeping across the ground like a whip, making explosive noises and sending countless weeds and pebbles flying.

Chen Li's movements were exceptionally agile, sometimes in front, sometimes behind, sometimes stepping in the air, sometimes landing and rolling, like an unpredictable phantom. The incomparably sharp second-tier magic sword in his hand carried a terrifying sharpness, like a hidden venomous snake, constantly adding more wounds to the demonic beasts.

The thick scales, comparable to those of a low-grade magic weapon, were barely better than tofu under the power of a second-tier magic weapon and the pulling spell.

He didn't even dare to attack vital organs; he mostly slashed at the fleshy parts.

They were afraid of ending the battle too quickly.

Every battle with a monster is a valuable piece of practical experience for him, one that he needs to carefully study and understand.

The more the monster fought, the more desperate it became, roaring incessantly until it nearly went mad.

A faint, obscure fluctuation of magical power seemed to descend.

Is this about to unleash a powerful move?

Chen Li felt a chill run down his spine and dared not delay any longer.

A mantra is recited.

The scolding technique is released instantly.

Taking advantage of its momentary stiffness, he unleashed a surge of power from his longsword, using the floating rubble as cover to take several steps and deliver a powerful slash to its head.

Chen Li jumped to the ground.

At the same time, a huge head crashed down behind them.

I recommend a great book called "The Otherworld Conquest Manual". The writing is excellent, and it's a story about two worlds. If you like exploring other worlds, you should check it out.
