Zhao Hongying followed Xu Zhou into the cave.
"You can rest here now," Xu Zhou said. "In a five-kilometer radius, mutant beasts won’t appear."
"Thank you." Zhao Hongying nodded.
After Xu Zhou left, she immediately sat down, leaning against the rock wall.
Zhao Hongying had a graceful figure; her looks might not match those of Li Ruoxi and Jiang Lan, but her body’s curves were exceptionally beautiful.
Sitting down, her torn red battle dress slightly lifted, revealing a pair of slender, snow-white jade legs.
"I wonder how Lanlan is doing." A trace of worry appeared in Zhao Hongying’s eyes.
Being lost these days made her realize how dangerous it was to be alone in the Thousand Demon Cave.
She was lucky enough not to be targeted by nocturnal mutant beasts.
But on Jiang Lan’s side... her fate was unknown.
With a hint of worry, Zhao Hongying gradually fell asleep.
...
At the cave entrance.
Xu Zhou took out the three pure white beast cores, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"The beast cores are worth dozens of times more than the beast hearts," he thought to himself. "If my avatar consumes them, how much enhancement can it bring?"
He could feel the Golden Winged Tyrannosaurus’s longing for the beast cores.
But Xu Zhou hesitated a bit.
After all, the beast cores were extremely valuable, too precious.
According to Zhao Hongying, each of these three beast cores came from a Rank 1, Level 3 mutant beast, worth at least a hundred thousand.
If the avatar consumes them, exceeding the 30-kilogram limit, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
"Let’s eat first." Xu Zhou put away the beast cores.
Controlling the Golden Winged Tyrannosaurus beside him, Xu Zhou started its meal for the day.
"These crocodile beast carcasses are almost finished." Xu Zhou glanced around the cave.
The Rank 1 mutant beast’s body didn’t rot so fast, even after ten days, it remained fresh.
But now, the Golden Winged Tyrannosaurus’s appetite was enormous.
It almost ate one crocodile beast every day.
Now, the food reserve was dwindling.
"I have to go hunting." Xu Zhou was not too worried about this point; these days, he had spotted quite a few scattered mutant beasts.
"Awoo~ Awoo~"
The Golden Winged Tyrannosaurus was gnawing on a crocodile beast’s thigh, its large pupils filled with excitement, eating happily.
Ten minutes later, it finished eating the crocodile beast clean.
[Qi-Blood +0.5 Calories]
[Rank +15%]
——
"Only 0.5 more calories of Qi-Blood?" Xu Zhou was slightly surprised.
On usual days, he could grow by 3 calories of Qi-Blood daily; how come this time the increase was so small?
But in the next moment.
"Boom!"
An incomparably vast force of Qi-Blood surged inside him.
Xu Zhou’s momentum skyrocketed.
A surging force seemed to erupt from the depths of his spirit, instantly enveloping his entire body.
"This power..." Xu Zhou was mentally shaken. "So strong!"
He clenched his fist and tried waving it.
Whoosh!
A powerful thrust left a sharp echo in the air.
"My punch strength has increased by at least 50 kilograms compared to before!" Xu Zhou thought, slightly shocked.
How could just a 0.5 calorie increase in Qi-Blood lead to such a boost?
He knew that previously, increasing by 1 calorie of Qi-Blood would only increase punch strength by 14 kilograms!
"Could it be because of the second foundation establishment?"
Xu Zhou’s eyes brightened: "After reaching 150 calories of Qi-Blood, further increases became more difficult, but each increment is several times stronger than before!"
At that moment, Xu Zhou understood completely.
Just then, Xu Zhou’s expression changed slightly.
He noticed that his Qi-Blood on the panel was gradually decreasing!
"No, the Qi-Blood is dispersing." Xu Zhou quickly sat cross-legged, suppressing the leaking Qi-Blood back into his body.
Once Qi-Blood reached 150 calories, it surpassed the human limit.
If increased further, it would overflow out of the body!
Therefore, continuous suppression was necessary, allowing the excess Qi-Blood to circulate a full cycle in the body.
Only then could it become completely stable.
With Xu Zhou’s cultivation, the Qi-Blood slowly rose back up.
Ultimately, it stabilized at 150.5 calories.
"Phew~"
Xu Zhou let out a breath and slowly opened his eyes.
"An increase of 0.5 calories each day," Xu Zhou’s gaze was bright and his mind clear: "At this rate, I will soon break through the second foundation establishment."
"By then, I should be more confident in dealing with that Croc Beast Leader."
Breaking through the second foundation establishment meant he could venture further into the inner territory!
Even when faced with the siege of a group of Rank 1, Level 5 mutant beasts, he could still retreat safely.
This meant that Xu Zhou might even attempt to enter another high-level mutant beast’s territory, using one beast to kill another!
Xu Zhou took a deep breath, understanding very well that this was why he became more eager to become stronger.
"The fourth level of the Mountain Breaking Saber Technique is within my grasp." Xu Zhou clenched his fist, cheering himself up: "Come on!"
He picked up the Tang saber and got up to walk outside the cave.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Blades of light danced, streaks of bright brilliance stabbed toward the sky and the earth, unleashing astounding howls.
At this moment, Xu Zhou’s saber technique third level had been perfected.
Only a thin line separated him from the fourth level of the Mountain Breaking Saber Technique.
