"You can't count on anyone. In this world, it's better to rely on the sky, the earth, and people than to rely on yourself!" Chen Li thought to himself.
When leaving Zhang Yan's house.
It was already evening, the sun was setting in the west, and the red fire clouds on the horizon dyed the shanty town a blood red color.
A few rogue cultivators with fierce faces were chatting quietly on the roadside, paying attention to the strangers passing by from time to time. When they saw Chen Li approaching, they quickly looked away.
I have killed people and monsters.
In addition, he has a strong body and a light body that seems to be built for fighting.
A kind of temperament that is not easy to mess with arises spontaneously.
As winter passed, the shanty town became more and more dilapidated. The muddy ground underfoot was mixed with all kinds of garbage, rags, broken porcelain, wood, and sometimes some broken bones and the rotting corpses of small animals could be seen.
At the same time, the tip of the nose is always filled with the musty smell of wood, the smell of rotting corpses, and the stench of urine and feces.
You can only feel the breath of spring on the roadside, where the grass is covered with various unknown wildflowers and the lush woods.
Passing by a house, a woman was crying.
Chen Li sighed and left quickly.
During this period, hunger forced many people to start venturing into wilderness and forests to hunt and gather. Many of them never came back.
Casual practitioners in shantytowns can generally be divided into three classes.
One is to rely on hunting to make a living. These people are all middle-to-high-level monks who are used to licking blood with the tip of a knife. They have experienced hundreds of battles. Sometimes they will take risks to hunt low-level monsters, and they often do guest jobs in robberies.
The second is people who rely on technology to make a living. Lin Gui, Zhang Yan and Chen Li all fall into this category.
The third is to rely on collecting herbs to make a living. Most of these people have low cultivation and are basically low-level monks. They have no other means of making a living and can only make a living by collecting herbs. This type of people is the largest and they are at the bottom of the shanty town.
Those who have the most difficult life nowadays are those at the bottom.
Chen Li walked quickly and returned home soon.
…
Late at night, as he tossed and turned, he vaguely heard a beast roar.
He opened his eyes.
Looking at the darkness above his head, he stared blankly for a long time.
Unable to control the irritation in my heart, I quietly got up and crawled out of the hole.
He followed the subtle movements all the way, and finally stopped the monster returning from looking for food in the wilderness.
Cast a pull spell and take a picture of the amulet.
Even the scolding spell was useless, Chen Li charged forward with his sword.
It was as if he wanted to let out the uneasiness and irritability in his heart into the battle.
This is a terrifying monster that can stand upright and has huge claws. It stands up to seven meters tall, which is higher than an average two-story building. Its thick fleshy palms covered with claws look like a mountain falling down when photographed.
, a huge crater was smashed into the ground, and the momentum was astonishing.
However, within the scope of the traction technique, it appeared to be stumbling and wobbling.
Various forces are interfering with it.
Sometimes it moves forward, sometimes it moves backward, sometimes its legs are pulled, and sometimes its palms are pulled away.
Although these interfering forces were insignificant to this monster with astonishing strength, they greatly affected its actions, making it more clumsy. At the same time, Chen Li was at ease under the traction technique.
The monster roared furiously, and kept slapping and waving its palms, but it was unable to do anything to Chen Li.
After more than ten seconds, Chen Li, who was confident in his heart, stopped dodging.
His feet seemed to shrink to inches, and he jumped several meters in one step, dodging the monster's attack by a hair. He circled behind it, and at the same time, his long sword faced the monster's heel. He did not dare to use too much force, lest the sword might be damaged.
Break.
The sword edge was wrapped with the power of the traction technique and sliced through the Achilles tendon of the monster like tofu.
There was a sound of "collapse!"
The sound of Achilles tendon snapping sounded clearly.
The monster roared in pain, and when it stood unsteadily, its huge body fell down like a hill, revealing its hidden throat.
The monster's body is still in mid-air, and has not yet completely collapsed. There is still confusion and pain on its face.
Chen Li suddenly jumped up.
The body is like electricity!
The sword transforms into a giant!
He slashed his throat with a sharp sword!
The sword edge wrapped in mana instantly cut through most of his neck.
At the same time, with the help of the gravel suspended in mid-air, he quickly landed on the ground and ran forward without looking back to prevent the opponent from retaliating before death. He did not turn around until he ran out of a safe distance.
…
After a while, the monster finally died.
Cut open its bulging stomach.
There were five undigested human corpses inside.
Today, Chen Li no longer has much fear of corpses.
He just sighed and picked through it with his sword without any scruples. Finally, he found a low-grade magic weapon and fifteen low-grade spiritual stones, which was quite an unexpected surprise.
Then he cut off the entire monster's stomach and dragged it aside.
Out of sight is pure.
It’s not like I’m eating it myself anyway.
…
This monster is bigger than the last one and has more meat.
On the fourth trip, people outside finally noticed it, but they watched from a distance and hesitated to step forward.
Chen Li shook his head to signal Zhou Hong, who was in the shadow in the distance, not to come over.
Then the face changes.
The image of the meat seller appeared again, and he walked over.
"You want some meat?"
The casual cultivator nodded, shook his head quickly, stepped back step by step, and looked wary.
"You can share the meat if you want. Follow this blood trail and you will see a corpse of a monster. But please don't reach out. Do you understand? Help me keep an eye on it, and I will share some meat with you when the time comes!" Chen Li pointed.
The casual cultivator in the distance said with a fierce expression.
"I understand, thank you fellow Taoist!" the casual cultivator said quickly with a happy face.
"Then go for it!"
After Chen Li finished speaking, he watched the other party go away and completely disappear into the night. Then he looked back and continued moving forward, carrying a heavy amount of monster meat on his back.
Call Zhou Hong back on the way.
After all, it's no longer safe here.
After another round of twists and turns, I felt that no one was following me, so I returned home.
When Chen Li returned to the wilderness again, he thought that the other party had moved the meat and left, or had called more people to guard it, but he did not expect that the other party was so upright and actually guarded the corpse of the monster.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Chen Li looked at him and asked curiously.
"Ah!" The casual cultivator's face turned pale when he heard this, his eyes were panicked, and he quickly clenched the hidden magic weapon in his hand: "You... how could someone like you... how could it be..."
"Don't touch your magical weapon. If you do, it will kill you first. How do you know me?"
"Aren't you that meat seller in the market... Dude, I even bought your monster meat!" The casual cultivator quickly put away the magic weapon with a dry smile on his face.
Chen Li suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, "What's your name, what's your cultivation level, are you interested in working with me?"
"Zhao...Zhao Lin! Fifth level of Qi training." Zhao Lin said excitedly when he heard this: "If I can really do something with you, of course I am willing!"
"Okay, my cultivation is just okay. You go to Fangshi tomorrow morning and wait, and I'll give you a task." Chen Li said.
He currently lacks someone to help sell magical artifacts, talismans and inquire about information.
