At night, the wind in Xuan Beast Mountain Forest is always stronger than during the day, and it can also blow the roars of birds and animals farther and louder.
Normally, cultivators, caravans, and even hunters in the city would not choose to go out of the city at night. This is because night is the time for the mystical beasts to hunt in the forest, and the human cultivators who come here at this time are almost looking for them.
There is no difference between torture and death.
But there are always exceptions to everything——
At this time, in the Xuan Beast Mountain Forest, thirty miles west of Kowloon City, a human boy was walking back and forth in the dense jungle.
Looking carefully against the moonlight, I saw a kitten following the boy's feet.
Despite this guy's short stature and round, fleshy body, its lethality is no less powerful than that of a human carrying a spear.
Often, with just one pounce and one bite, it can defeat a ferocious beast that is more than ten times its size!
The young man is Chen Shen.
The kitten at his feet is his battle pet, the young tiger god Xiaobai.
"Five more miles ahead, you will enter the outer circle from the edge of the Mysterious Beast Mountain Forest. There are mainly mid-level Mysterious Beasts there, and you may even encounter high-level Mysterious Beasts!"
After the young man finished speaking, he casually threw a high-grade Qi Restoration Pill to Xiao Bai: "Eat it to restore your profound strength. Our main battlefield is about to arrive! Don't let your guard down then."
"Tch, boss, you look down on this Tiger God too much! It's just a mid-level mysterious beast, and I want to fight ten of them!"
Xiaobai swallowed the high-grade Qi-Reviving Pill, and then squeaked with disgust: "It tastes bad! This tiger god wants to eat meat! The mysterious beast dinner you brought back last time was very good!"
The little guy's eyes were shining: "Boss, I know you still have a lot of space packages, please bring me two big ones!"
Speaking of which, Chen Shen's space package is really magical.
Since his cultivation broke through to the realm of the Mystic, the capacity of the space package has not only greatly increased, but also has a special effect similar to the preservation of items. There is no need to worry about the things placed in the package rotting or deteriorating.
"Don't be greedy here! If I don't get promoted to a six-star profound practitioner tonight, just wait and drink the northwest wind!" The young man chuckled.
Immediately, with a flash of consciousness, he called up the system panel and clicked on the training props.
The next moment, a system prompt sounded in my mind: "Ding! It costs 5,000 gold coins to activate double experience for one hour. Do you want to confirm?"
"confirm!"
"Ding! Double experience is successfully activated. The host's remaining gold coins are: 75,000."
The young man's eyes twitched and he sighed to himself: "Money is so damn useless!"
A week ago, he was a rich man with two hundred thousand gold!
In addition to the Xuandan refined every day, part of it is kept for personal use, part is given to the proprietress Linglong for free, and the remaining part is sold through Tang's Dan Pavilion, and a net profit of about 10,000 gold coins can be made every day.
It seems like he’s making a lot of money, but it can’t sustain him for this week’s practice!
He would refine pills during the day and fall asleep in the evening. Late at night, Chen Shen would go to the mysterious beast forest to kill monsters and level up.
In order to improve the leveling efficiency, he will definitely open double every time.
Double experience for killing monsters in one hour costs five thousand gold.
The young man always rushes back to the city before sunrise. He only practices for six hours each time, which also requires a full 30,000 gold!
In just eight days, Chen Shen earned less than he spent.
Today is the night of the ninth day, and his remaining funds are about to be exhausted...
The young man secretly smacked his tongue: "We can only look forward to tomorrow's auction! Those three altars of the Beast King's blood should be able to sell for a lot of money."
Thinking of this, Chen Shen tightened the hell snake bone gun in his hand and started his career as a monster hunter again...
"Boss, there is a human presence in the southwest, and it is approaching our place. The current distance is 190 meters."
"Okay, kill these two spotted jackals and let's turn to the northeast."
…
"Boss, about two hundred meters due north, there is the aura of a high-level mysterious beast! It probably hasn't discovered us yet."
"That's good, change the route to the west. High-level mysterious beasts are equivalent to practitioners in the Xuanshi realm, and they are not something we can defeat now."
…
"Boss, one hundred meters to the east, there is a mid-level high-grade mysterious beast, and there are more than a dozen auras of mid-level low-grade mysterious beasts wandering around him. It should be a small herd of beasts."
"There is only one mid-level and high-grade one, and we can fight! Come on, let's kill them!"
…
Xiaobai is worthy of being a mythical beast. Although his current cultivation level is not high, his sense of smell is comparable to that of a spiritual-level mysterious beast.
With its reminder, in this dark beast jungle with hazy moonlight and extremely low visibility, Chen Shen is equivalent to having an all-round monitoring radar, knowing everything within a radius of 200 meters, so as to avoid harm and seek gain.
This greatly improved his leveling efficiency while also avoiding being watched by others, such as members of the Xue family.
From the first day Chen Shen went hunting at night, he was targeted by the spy sent by Xue Yang!
Fortunately, Xiaobai's reminder allowed him to shake off his tail in the complex terrain of the mysterious beast jungle, otherwise he would inevitably have some trouble.
The reason why Chen Shen chooses to kill monsters at night to upgrade is not only that the activities of mysterious beasts are more active at night, but also the most important point is to hide his mysterious weapons and avoid prematurely exposing his trump cards.
…
The six-hour hunting operation came to an abrupt end at the moment when the white fish belly appeared in the eastern sky.
As a high-level mysterious beast in front of him fell to the ground, a pleasant sound sounded in Chen Shen's ears——
"Ding! The host successfully killed the mid-level high-grade mysterious beast Pangolin and gained 1,000 experience points."
"Ding! The double experience time is over."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for being promoted to a six-star profound practitioner! Would you like to check the current attributes?"
…
The young man laughed, and after nine days of crazy leveling up, he recovered more than half of his plummeting cultivation level after redeeming dragon blood.
Although the six-star mystic is not as powerful as the eight-star mystic, there are still twenty-one days left before the Hundred Schools League.
According to Chen Shen's estimation, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to return to the realm of an eight-star mystic before the start of the competition. By then, he will have some confidence to strive for the top three.
In these nine days, Chen Shen gained more from his career as a monster hunter than just the improvement of his profound energy cultivation.
The special movement flash has also been upgraded from Xiao Cheng to Penetration, the cooling time is shortened to twenty seconds, and the effective range is thirty meters.
The attack skill "Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix Spear" has been promoted from entry level to master level. The power of the basic 108-style marksmanship has been increased by 10%. The ultimate skill "Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix" can increase the number of thunder eagles that can be summoned at the same time to three.
Ten!
There is also the seven-foot spear in the young man's hand. After drinking the blood of the mysterious beast, it has evolved into a middle-grade mysterious weapon of the mysterious level!
A mid-level Xuan-level weapon. In the huge Kowloon City, only City Lord Xiao Mo's "Guan Lei and Listening to the Wind Sword" can rival it.
Even the clan heads of the three major families use only low-grade Xuan-level weapons...
"Let's go, Xiaobai, and go home!"
Chen Shen put the Underworld Snake Bone Gun back into the space package, took out a set of clean clothes and put them on, and then headed back home in a swaggering manner.
Not long after, Xiaobai at his feet suddenly reminded him: "Boss, there are two more familiar human scents about two hundred meters ahead."
Xiaobai scratched his fleshy round face and said expectantly: "In the past nine days, this is the tenth time I have bumped into these two stalkers. It's really annoying! Boss, do you want me to bite you for you?"
