The flying sword pierced through the demon beast's eyes like an electric shot, and the remaining force was unstoppable, turning the brain inside into a ball of paste.
The monster's huge body suddenly stiffened, and its whole body began to twitch.
Chen Li withdrew the flying sword and felt relieved. He stepped forward with the sword, jumped onto the monster's body, used Zhou Tiangang's strength, and cut off the huge head that was nearly a person tall with several consecutive strikes.
At this time, several foundation builders from a distance finally flew over.
Chen understood the spell and jumped down from the monster to greet him.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you really hide your secrets." One of the first foundation builders laughed.
"No, no, it's just a matter of sheer bravery. I didn't expect that this second-level monster looks so majestic, but is actually so vulnerable!" Chen Li said modestly: "I also want to thank you all for coming to help.
"
"Hey, fellow Taoist, I'm too modest. This melee attack is so clean and neat, it's really impressive."
A group of people exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Among the foundation builders who came over, there was one who happened to be teasing Chen Li about not seeing a second-level monster the day before. At this time, there was embarrassment in his smile.
Fortunately, Chen Li didn't mention it, so he could save his face.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Several foundation builders consciously said goodbye and left.
…
"Ah, it's over again?"
Not long after the group left, Feng Qi flew over in a hurry. When he saw the corpse of the monster and Chen Li next to him, he immediately flew down with an annoyed look on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, why are you alone, and where are the other fellow daoists?" Halfway through his words, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face: "Could it be... you're the only one!"
Chen Li smiled and said nothing.
"Tsk, tsk! I've always made a mistake!" Feng Qi stared at Chen Li for a long time, then said with a surprised look on his face, and was still in disbelief when he left.
He failed twice in a row, but got nothing, and was very poor.
Next, people who were familiar or half-familiar with Zhuji came one after another. Chen Li greeted them one by one and gave them gifts. When they heard that he was the one to deal with this second-level monster by himself, everyone became a lot more enthusiastic.
Most of the invisible barriers that seemed to be there or not were dissipated.
"It's finally over."
Chen Li took out a porcelain bottle from his storage bag, uncorked it, knocked two Qi Gathering Pills to restore his spiritual power, looked at the crowd hiding away, stretched out his hand to call a few Huanzhen Sect disciples, and ordered them to lead them
The team continued to burn the wasteland.
He himself emptied the low-level monster meat from the storage bag, threw it to the ground, and began to decompose the huge corpse.
This second-level monster is much larger than the second-level snake monster last time.
He stands about six meters tall, is 13 meters long not including his tail, and weighs an estimated 20 tons. His two storage bags won't be able to hold much if it doesn't break down.
Next, Chen Li peeled off the skin and bones to get the meat, so he didn't mention it.
"Another demon pill!" He took out a hot object from the smelly sewer water he dragged out.
Counting this one, he already has three.
The texture of the demon pill that has just been taken out is soft, the surface is full of brilliance, and it exudes strong energy fluctuations. It beats faintly when held in the hand, as if it is alive.
Chen Li played with it for a while, put the demon pill into the storage bag, and continued to decompose it.
The bones of second-level monsters are extremely heavy.
Almost all of them are semi-crystalline spiritual materials. The texture is quite dense and as heavy as gold and iron. It accounts for almost a quarter of the entire body weight of the monster, and the weight of blood accounts for another one-tenth of the body weight.
A twenty-ton monster weighs only thirteen tons of meat and internal organs.
But even so, his two storage bags totaling eight square meters can't fit it.
What's more, these spiritual materials are also very valuable, almost worth the flesh and blood of a monster beast.
"Oh, next time, I must buy a large-capacity storage bag! It will delay things too much at critical times." Chen Li sighed.
Not to mention this second-level monster, this time it was unexpected.
Let's just say that he has killed seven low-level demonic beasts in total, not eight, in these days. Except for one of them, he took the meat, and the rest were either left in the wild or divided among the casual cultivators in the team.
These casual cultivators were very happy.
But he couldn't be happy.
This share is all his money!
One low-level monster is worth at least a dozen or twenty mid-grade spirit stones, and as many as more than thirty. Seven monsters are equivalent to one hundred and forty mid-grade spirit stones. This amount of money is not worth even to Chen Li.
, is not a small number either.
It takes him more than a month to paint the golden amulet.
All the savings added up are only six high-grade spiritual stones.
Seeing that there was still a small half-monster meat and a mountain of bones and fur, Chen Li had no choice but to go back to Fangshi, put a few longer leg bones and part of the meat in a temporary hut, and used ice magic to freeze them
, and prepare to find a way to deal with it after I come back in the evening.
As for the cleared first-order monster meat, it can only be divided among these casual cultivators.
…
After returning from burning the wasteland in the evening, Chen Li followed the established rules and gave more than a hundred kilograms of second-level monster meat to each foundation builder one by one. Fortunately, this trip was not in vain. Chen Li's headache was quickly solved by Zhou Yuanpeng
solve.
When he came to visit, Zhou Yuanpeng expressed his hope to purchase the spiritual materials of this second-level monster.
This matter played into Chen Li's heart.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Zhou is not only a master of formations, but also a master of weapon refining." Chen Li complimented.
"I don't dare to call myself a master. If I say it, I'll make people laugh. I'm just scratching the surface of how to refine weapons." Zhou Yuanpeng smiled wryly and waved his hands:
"The first-level magic weapon is okay, but I'm still struggling to figure out the second-level magic weapon. If you have any second-level spiritual materials you want to sell in the future, you can come to me. Don't worry, the price will never be lower than the market price."
Chen Li immediately agreed and complimented him a few more times.
Zhou Yuanpeng was praised by Chen Li and his long beard was gently twirled. Although he was modest, he kept smiling. When he looked at Chen Li, his eyes became much closer.
Chen Li then took a large pile of bones and fur from the temporary hut.
Zhou Yuanpeng appraised it face to face and finally settled the deal at the price of two high-grade spiritual stones.
This price is indeed fair, much higher than the market price. If it were sold at an outside magic weapon shop, it would probably only be valued at 150 medium-grade spiritual stones.
…
This time, there were twenty-five of them, not counting Chen Li. Every time they delivered meat, they had to chat for a while. In the end, the polite words became a routine. They were so smooth that they came as soon as they opened their mouths. The whole business was over.
It was already night, but I was even more tired than the battle during the day.
But it feels pretty good.
Looking at these foundations, there may be enthusiasm, surprise, or disbelief.
Chen Li felt that the meat was worth the gift.
Each foundation builder shared more than a hundred kilograms of meat, and three tons were taken away at once. The remaining ten tons of pure meat could barely fit into two storage bags.
But it's also packed to the brim.
…
After a simple dinner, Chen Li practiced his sword skills as usual, recalling the battle during the day in his mind.
'I wonder what level that second-level monster is? It is said that many monsters have innate abilities. Judging from their performance during the day, the innate ability of the monster is obviously related to fire...'
‘Alas, the battle ended too quickly, that’s what’s bad about it. It’s impossible to figure out what the monster’s strength is!’ Chen Li sighed in his heart.
"Senior, the room has been tidied up. If you have anything else to do, please feel free to ask me." A female disciple said respectfully to Chen Li with a blushing face.
Perhaps it is difficult to build the foundation, and the probability is not high. Zhenzong does not have a master-apprentice system. The only difference between inner disciples and outer disciples is that the former will be provided with the best resources and the best spiritual land. They can only practice cultivation and do not need to be responsible for tasks.
sundries.
The outer disciples are even more miserable. They are the ones responsible for the corvee work. Some female disciples also have to serve the daily life of the foundation builders, almost like servants.
"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Chen Li stopped practicing his sword and said gently: "There's nothing going on here. Go back and rest early."
"Senior, please let me serve you. I haven't been touched by another man yet." The female disciple gritted her teeth and said with a shy trembling voice.
As he spoke, he began to gently unbutton his robe, revealing the tender green clothes underneath.
The swollen chest is trembling and ready to come out.
Chen Li took one look and avoided his gaze with a serious look: "What are you doing? Put on your clothes quickly. You are not required to serve here. Go back and rest."
It was rare for this girl to muster up the courage. When she heard this, her face turned red immediately, and tears fell down her cheeks. She hurriedly put on her robe, covered her face, and ran out as if running away.
Smell the lingering fragrance in the air.
Chen Li shook his head and laughed dumbly. What's going on?
He stopped the thoughts in his heart and continued practicing his sword.
…
At noon the next day, Feizhou came over again.
A batch of supplies and thousands of sallow-looking mortals were transported, including men, women, old and young.
The materials mainly include some building materials, grain seeds, various agricultural tools, living supplies, etc. Obviously, these mortals are the first batch of settlers in Green River Square to settle here.
When Chen Li returned in the evening, all the tree stumps left by the burning in Fang City had been dug out and burned.
A large number of mortals shouted neat chants, pulled up huge wooden piles tied with ropes, and tamped the ground to level it, preparing to build houses and create a market.
"In this world, mortals are like ants!"
Needless to say, this newly opened land is dangerous, not to mention that it is surrounded by forests on all sides.
For these mortals, not to mention monsters and evil spirits, even ordinary beasts, poisonous insects, and even simple acclimatization can be fatal. Within ten years, half of these thousands of people can survive, which is already good.
…
Time passes day by day, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The autumn mood is getting stronger and stronger, the scope of the burning has expanded to the original forest area, and the teams led by each are becoming more and more scattered.
During this period, other teams encountered a second-level monster again. This time it was not as smooth as before. A foundation-building member of the foundation-building family died in the battle. This was the first time a foundation-building casualty occurred in this corvee.
He died quite miserably.
The corpses were bitten into two pieces by monsters.
The half located on the upper body was found in the belly of the monster beast. When it was cut open and taken out, it was corroded beyond recognition.
The body was not buried in Green River Square, but was frozen and put into a coffin to be taken back to Luanluo City when he returned.
For this reason, the team took a day off and did not continue until the next day.
