Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 527: Blown Apart with One Punch
It chose to flee for its life. After discovering the tragic death of its companion, it turned to escape immediately.
Xu Yi did not intend to let it go, directly using his spiritual power to block its path.
Its telekinesis was almost depleted, and soon it would lose its defense power.
By then, Xu Yi could easily kill it.
Once it wanted to escape, it would become flustered.
Flustered, it would make mistakes, and its defense would have loopholes.
At this moment, Xu Yi’s skills took immediate effect.
First, it was hit with a slow effect, then a bind, and finally a spirit blade.
This sequence of skills meant the fate of the fierce beast was sealed.
The second fierce beast also had its head blown apart by a punch from Xu Yi.
However, this did not mean Xu Yi mastered the attack methods used by these two fierce beasts.
After all, Xu Yi had no techniques to speak of, just a simple combination of skills.
Without the spirit blade, he couldn’t have broken through the beast’s defense and blown its head so quickly.
After killing the two fierce beasts, Xu Yi also collapsed.
Tired, very tired.
After his enhancement skills lost their effect, Xu Yi felt very weak and just wanted to lie down and rest for a while.
However, he still insisted on finishing off the other one.
After finishing it off, he could finally rest assuredly for a while.
He was fully submerged in the snow, completely sinking in.
With the battle over, the celestial forest became quiet.
Lu Ke glanced at the star chart and found Xu Yi nearby, but he was too close, making it impossible to locate him on the map. The precision of this map was not particularly high.
Feeling the eerie silence outside, Lu Ke rushed out immediately.
However, she saw nothing and became anxious, shouting loudly, "Xu Yi!"
"Here." Xu Yi heard Lu Ke’s voice and raised his hand. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
He didn’t want to get up at all, so he just showed Lu Ke his location this way.
He thought, even if Lu Ke couldn’t see him, Lightning should be able to.
Sure enough, Lightning spotted Xu Yi immediately and flew towards him.
Xu Yi was over 500 meters away from the camp, as he had been worried those two fierce beasts would harm Lu Ke and the others. So he fought and lured the beasts away at the same time.
However, he didn’t lure them far enough before the battle ended.
"Xu Yi," Su Yan also shouted, then rushed out. Qin Fan and the others went with her, everyone sprinting towards Xu Yi.
Soon, they saw Xu Yi’s dismal condition.
His sleeves and pant legs were ’blown’ apart, looking bloody and gruesome.
Seeing this, Lu Ke’s eyes welled up immediately.
Su Yan and Wang Jin’s eyes also reddened, almost bursting into tears.
"Xu Yi..."
"Don’t cry, it’s fine, just some flesh wounds, nothing serious, it’ll be fine tomorrow. I’m a bit exhausted, just use your telekinesis to lift me back, and then sprinkle some Illusionary Flower Beast pollen on it," Xu Yi said with a smile, as if it really didn’t hurt.
"Okay, okay, don’t move, I’ll get you back." Saying that, Lu Ke wiped her tears, then used her telekinesis to wrap around Xu Yi’s body, making him float towards the tent.
The others did not interfere, worried that their intervention might cause uneven pressure and make Xu Yi feel pain.
Qin Fan and the others retrieved the corpses of the two fierce beasts, along with the two brain crystals.
Lightning and White Feather ate the brain matter left in the snow; it was considered a top delicacy for them.
Once Xu Yi returned to the tent, he took out a bottle and handed it to Lu Ke.
Inside was Illusionary Flower Beast pollen, having miraculous effects of pain relief and stopping bleeding.
As for the recovery of his injuries, Xu Yi could use his spiritual power to accelerate it.
Before his return, Xu Yi had already applied a vitality-enhancing skill on himself.
Carefully, Lu Ke cut open Xu Yi’s sleeves and trouser legs, exposing his wounds. During this process, she used her telekinesis to hold Xu Yi’s body, preventing him from moving.
"Xu Yi, does it hurt?" Lu Ke asked while sprinkling Illusionary Flower Beast pollen on Xu Yi’s wounds with great concern.
"It doesn’t hurt, just minor injuries. After applying the medicine, it feels cool and comfortable. Alright, don’t worry, such a small injury is no big deal. Furthermore, battling these beasts, I discovered some combat techniques. Once I comprehend them, our strength will improve significantly," Xu Yi joyfully remarked, as the attack methods of those two fierce beasts were truly worth learning.
Lu Ke knew that Xu Yi said it didn’t hurt and was comfortable, just to stop her from worrying.
Thus, she tried hard to control her emotions.
Carefully, she sprinkled Illusionary Flower Beast pollen on each of Xu Yi’s wounds, ensuring none were overlooked. Lu Ke felt this was the only thing she could do now.
Actually, after applying the pollen, Xu Yi’s wounds did stop hurting. Those areas felt tingling and cool, indeed somewhat comfortable.
Sadly, Lu Ke didn’t believe it.
"All right, I’m fine now, you can let me down," Xu Yi told Lu Ke, as it was very tiring to keep using telekinesis to hold him up.
"It’s fine, it’s part of training anyway. This way you’ll feel more comfortable, without pressing on your wounds," Lu Ke said firmly.
The expression on her face clearly conveyed: don’t bother persuading me, it won’t work.
When Lu Ke became stubborn, there was nothing Xu Yi could do.
So he simply closed his eyes and began practicing the Supreme Profound Meditation Method.
Qin Fan and the others processed the level 5 fierce beast’s corpse and boiled a pot of congee using some of the meat, having Wang Jin deliver it to Xu Yi and Lu Ke’s tent.
"Xu Yi, Lu Ke, breakfast’s ready." Saying this, Wang Jin glanced at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was seated cross-legged, but not on the bed; he was floating in mid-air.
"Mm, I’m quite hungry," Xu Yi immediately landed on the ground, then prepared to take the meat congee from Wang Jin’s hands.
"You’re all wounded, let me feed you," Wang Jin felt this was the least she could do.
"No way, I’m not incapacitated, just a few minor injuries. You’re making too big a fuss," said Xu Yi, as he directly took the bowl of congee.
Lu Ke originally wanted to say something, but seeing Xu Yi sit down to eat congee, she wisely kept quiet.
Wang Jin stuck out her tongue and silently exited the tent.
Fifteen minutes later, a burst of power erupted from the tent over there.
Someone had broken through to level 5, and surprisingly, it wasn’t Lu Ke.
This time, who would be the first to reach the level 5 mage’s realm?
