After practicing martial arts, it was already three days since Xiao Long arrived in Qingyang Town.
Now that he has broken through to a fourth-level monster, and combined with the Blue Dragon Secret Book and the Fish-Dragon Variety, those below the seventh level of Body Tempering are no match for him. If he just escapes, even the ninth level of Body Tempering will not be able to catch up with him.
What's more, he also has the invincible artifact, the Golden Hand. As long as he doesn't encounter a human at the tenth level of the Body Tempering Realm, no one can threaten him.
The streets in Qingyang Town are not wide, and the pavilions are one after another. Xiao Long activates the breathing method and quickly shuttles through the grass on the street. When he encounters an open area without cover, he uses the fish-dragon 100-transformation method to quickly dodge.
In the past, unless there was a Ningzhen Realm warrior keeping an eye on it, it would never be discovered.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Long ducked into the backyard of a restaurant called Qingfeng Restaurant, which was considered the largest restaurant in Qingyang Town.
The restaurant is the best place to get information. Xiao Long cannot use the soul control technique for the time being, so he can only come here to think of a solution.
Passing by the kitchen in the backyard, the aroma of food filled the air. Xiao Long swallowed and suddenly felt the urge to eat food.
Since he went off grain, he hasn't touched food for a long time, and he has forgotten what food tastes like. When he was reborn as a monster, the long-lost appetite came back!
After humans reach the sixth level of body tempering, they can completely break away from the grain and practice with spiritual energy. However, monsters cannot absorb spiritual energy before practicing the exercises. They can only devour food and improve their cultivation by refining blood. This is a biological instinct. Avoid it.
No.
Xiao Long thought for a while, then rushed into the kitchen. He saw a fragrant roast chicken on the table, rising into the air like lightning, biting into it, swallowing it, and then disappeared in one go.
"It's so cool!" Xiao Long felt extremely excited.
I didn’t expect the food to be so delicious!
"You swallowed poultry and gained 9 experience points!"
The system prompt sounded, and Xiao Long was surprised. Can eating food also increase experience?
Thinking of this, he rushed to the kitchen again, and while there was no one around, he swept away all the dishes on the table, eating them all, no matter whether they were meat or vegetable, sweet or spicy.
"You swallowed grass and gained 3 experience points!"
"You swallowed a level 3 monster and gained 37 experience points!"
"You swallowed a level 1 monster and gained 19 experience points!"
"You swallowed sweets and gained 5 experience points!"
Xiao Long moved very quickly. After eating the cooked food, he ate raw food. He also ate many unprocessed foods.
The strange thing is that the food Xiao Long eats is bigger than him, but it is not as long as it is, it is still only half a meter long.
"You swallowed a level 3 monster and gained 67 experience points! There are still 23 experience points left before you can upgrade!"
Xiao Long found that his experience tube was almost full, but all the food in the kitchen had been eaten.
(System prompt: Twenty meters to the southwest, a level 3 wild monster is found.)
"Someone is coming, run away quickly!" Xiao Long dodged and left the kitchen.
When the waiter came to the kitchen to serve the dishes, he found that the kitchen was empty. There was only a pile of empty plates on the table, and a few plates were spinning on the floor.
"It's so cool! It's so cool! Hahaha!" Xiao Long in the woodshed was very excited. He has never been so happy since his rebirth.
He discovered that he was addicted to eating.
In addition to the woodshed and kitchen, the backyard also has many rooms where monsters are kept. The monsters in them are all delicious meat and ingredients that are beneficial to cultivation.
Most of the monsters are from the first to the third level. Occasionally, you can encounter the fourth-level monsters, but it is very rare.
When these monsters saw a snake crawling past, they stared at Xiao Long with big copper bell eyes and stared at Xiao Long without blinking, with pleading eyes, as if begging Xiao Long to save them.
Xiao Long shook his head and ignored these guys. He was caught by humans because he was too weak. If they were strong enough, they could also eat humans.
Xiao Long entered the restaurant through the back door, climbed quietly to the second floor, and huddled under a counter.
"Have you heard that the Fire Cloud Sect is offering a reward for killing black-spine snakes recently? If you kill one, you can take the corpse to the Fire Cloud Sect in exchange for spiritual stones. A first-level black-spine snake can be exchanged for five low-grade spiritual stones."
"Is such a good thing? Five low-grade spiritual stones are worth five thousand taels of silver. Normally, a first-level black-spine snake is worth a few hundred taels at most, but now it has increased almost ten times!"
"I heard that the daughter of law enforcement elder Xue Wuqing was killed by a black-spine snake, so I wanted to take revenge."
"Nonsense! He was obviously killed by a mysterious master who manipulated snake monsters. A Miao Jiang family that manipulated snakes in Huoyun City was wiped out because of this."
"What a ruthless Xue Qingwu! It is said that the Wenjian Sect was also implicated and compensated many spiritual treasures and lost all the sect's property."
"There is no way, the strength is not as good as others. Fire Cloud Sect is one of the four major sects in Tianfeng Kingdom. What does Sword Sect mean?"
"This Xue Qingqing's daughter is also a great scourge, she died well!"
"Keep your voice down, or your head will fall off if you hear it!"
Xiao Long lay under the counter and listened for about an hour. The thing people talked about the most was the murder of Huo Yunzong Xue Wuqing's daughter.
The time was three days ago, the day he killed that fat girl. Could she be that Xue Qingwu's daughter?
In this way, because he tried the power of the Midas Touch, it led to such a series of chain events, countless people died as a result, and even he became a wanted criminal.
"What the hell is Fire Cloud Sect?" Xiao Long was puzzled.
One of the four major sects of the Tianfeng Kingdom? It is probably a one-star sect that has reached the star level. In his previous life, he could destroy such a rubbish force, but now he dares to offer a reward to kill him.
There is another question. He remembers that there was no one around at the time. How was he discovered? The cowardly man became dementia. It was absolutely impossible for him to say it. The girl who fell on the ground was indeed fainted.
.
He opened the system's inventory, threw two spiritual stones outside, and placed them in a corner of the counter.
Then, he used his inner energy to transform into a powerful middle-aged male voice, which reached the ears of a passerby who was drinking by himself.
"My little friend, I placed two spiritual stones in the corner of the counter as a greeting gift. I want to ask you a few questions. As long as you answer them truthfully, I will reward you with ten more spiritual stones."
The passerby raised his head and looked around, finding that no one was looking at him, and he couldn't find the source of the sound. He turned to the corner of the counter and saw that there were indeed two spiritual stones on the ground.
He walked over, carefully picked up the spirit stone and returned to his seat, showing a smile: "Senior, feel free to ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Being able to transmit sounds without being discovered through inner energy must have cultivated an extremely powerful concealment method. Such people cannot be offended easily, and no one will be able to get away with the spirit stone.
"Let me ask you, why do you say the murderer is a black-spine snake?" Xiao Long asked.
This was his most puzzling question. He didn't leave any clues. How did the Fire Cloud Sect know that the murderer was a snake?
