Chapter 491: Chapter 491: The 175-Day Gift Pack

After a dozen minutes, Lu Ke’s long spear was the first to pierce into the Fierce Beast’s body, causing it to let out a piercing scream.

Then, the spears of the others also plunged into the Fierce Beast’s body, turning it into a sieve.

"It’s dead, finally dead. It was so hard to handle, I almost had to use the Brain Crystal against it." Wang Jin said breathlessly, sitting weakly on the ground.

Xu Yi didn’t order them to use the Brain Crystal, so no one brought out the level 4 Brain Crystal.

However, they also knew that even if they used the level 4 Brain Crystal, it might not be able to break through the Fierce Beast’s defense.

If they used it right from the start and it proved ineffective, it would still be a blow to morale.

By not taking it out, everyone felt they had a last resort.

Lu Yao looked at the corpse of the Fierce Beast and said with lingering fear, "Peak level 4 is already so terrifying, level 5 is indeed beyond what we can handle."

Others didn’t say a word, as they were already exhausted.

The only one in relatively better shape was Xu Yi.

He took out his dagger and then broke open the Fierce Beast’s head.

He wanted to know if the Brain Crystal would be different.

He took out a light blue Brain Crystal, almost transparent. This indicated that telekinesis hadn’t been completely exhausted; some remained.

Its Brain Crystal wasn’t particularly large, about the same size as a regular level 4 Fierce Beast’s Brain Crystal.

After storing away the Brain Crystal, Xu Yi began handling the Fierce Beast’s corpse.

They hadn’t had breakfast yet, so they decided to cook this Fierce Beast.

After a dozen minutes, Xu Yi started to stew a pot of Fierce Beast meat. By then, Cheng Jie and Liu Li had recovered and took over Xu Yi’s work.

The aroma of the meat was pervasive, distracting everyone from their tasks.

After stewing for half an hour, everyone finally had some meat soup.

The meat was tender and springy, with excellent texture.

The key point was that this Fierce Beast meat contained a vigorous force. After eating, everyone felt energy surging through their bodies.

Compared to regular level 4 Fierce Beasts, the effect was at least tripled.

Thus, after breakfast, they immediately went to cultivate.

This energy must be absorbed to be useful.

In the following time, they continued to cultivate.

Time passed especially quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another day had passed.

Before dawn, Xu Yi opened his eyes.

"System, punch in."

Today marked the 175th day; time to claim a new gift package.

"Ding, punched in for 7 days, earned a Basic Gift Package."

Upon hearing this anticipated voice, Xu Yi immediately said in his mind, "System, punch-in gift package."

"Ding, received 20 pounds of B-level Liquid Metal (suitable for one shaping) (basic)."

Xu Yi felt a bit disappointed upon hearing about the gift package.

Though the 20 pounds of B-level Liquid Metal was pretty good for making weapons,

they currently didn’t lack weapons or need any metal.

Frankly, Xu Yi would rather have a Storage Space than this Liquid Metal.

Sadly, there was no return option, nor an exchange.

Despite feeling quite frustrated, cultivation had to continue.

After getting up, Xu Yi started Body Refining Technique.

After finishing four rounds, he walked out of the tent with Lu Ke.

For breakfast, they still ate level 4 Fierce Beast meat. They discovered that after eating it all day yesterday, their strength had significantly improved.

Not only them, but also the Black Qilin, Lightning, and White Feather, who were given the same meat, seemed to have grown stronger.

Perhaps, if they continued eating it regularly, they could also reach peak level 4.

Unfortunately, no peak level 4 Fierce Beast came to them.

After breakfast, they continued to cultivate.

Heading out to find peak level 4 Fierce Beasts?

In this regard, Xu Yi felt their strength was still lacking.

Once his strength improved a bit, it wouldn’t be too late to go.

Waiting for them to come voluntarily seemed safer, considering they were gathered with so many people and Fierce Beasts; the scent was overwhelming. Any nearby Fierce Beasts could sniff them out.

Having finished breakfast, Qin Fan approached Xu Yi and reported, "Xu Yi, other small groups are moving towards us."

"Oh, they’re getting closer?" Xu Yi was a bit surprised, considering Li Kang and his team had few people reaching level 4.

"They’re still far away, but moving in our direction." As he spoke, Qin Fan displayed his Star Chart Map and analyzed, "It should be a few who have reached level 4 Mage. Only this way they can keep distance with us. The three of them aren’t ones to be subordinate."

"Ignore it as long as they’re not too close, monitoring our actions, then we shouldn’t worry. After all, this forest isn’t ours, and we don’t have authority to drive them away." Xu Yi said to Qin Fan, knowing Qin Fan understood many things, definitely hoping more humans would become strong.

In this way, the chance to challenge 500-day targets would greatly increase.

However, this matter couldn’t be revealed in front of the audience.

Li Kang’s strategy wasn’t wrong either; only by constantly approaching the territory of the next level Fierce Beast, they could quickly advance.

Still, the risk was high.

If they encounter peak level 4 Fierce Beasts, the outcome would be tragic — either death or forced to quit.

Facing such a situation, Xu Yi felt helpless.

Ultimately, he was merely a level 4 Divine Master. Presumably, only upon reaching level 5 could he easily deal with peak level 4 Fierce Beasts.

As for level 5 Fierce Beasts, that’s a whole other story.

After the conversation, Xu Yi glanced at his Star Chart and found others approaching.

He could only wish them safety on their journey.

After chatting with Qin Fan further, Xu Yi returned to his tent.

The most important task now was cultivating.

Strive to break through to level 5 sooner, to set Xu Yi’s mind at ease.

Cultivation time flew quickly, and soon, 6 days had passed.

In these 6 days, not a single peak level 4 Fierce Beast appeared, nor did any Fierce Beast attack their camp.

This peace seemed somewhat incredible.

Two days ago, three groups appeared a kilometer away from their camp.

Not only could Ivica figure this out, but Jerry and Li Kang moved quickly too. Li Kang came alone, while Jerry sent his cousin Lavinie and another who was soon breaking through level 4.

However, three days ago, the person with Lavinie broke through to the level 4 Mage realm.

There were a total of 6 people, all very close.

Given that two people’s strength was really small, gathering 6 together provided a sense of security.

They were relatively lucky as they encountered level 4 Fierce Beasts on the way but only the ordinary kind. If it had been peak level 4, they would either have died or given up themselves.
