Chapter 469: Confronting a Level 4 Fierce Beast
Before moving, Xu Yi used a Speed Doubling Skill on himself.
Then, Xu Yi quickly changed his position several times.
The stone, however, was still directed at his initial position.
This proved that Xu Yi’s deduction was correct; the opponent was indeed tracking his scent to pinpoint his location.
He had left his shirt there.
Otherwise, the scent would soon dissipate.
Once this was confirmed, Xu Yi continued to change locations.
He naturally wanted to see what kind of Fierce Beast was attacking him.
Then, Xu Yi spotted a Fierce Beast resembling a raccoon hiding behind a tree.
Previously, because the distance exceeded 50 meters, Xu Yi’s Spiritual Vision couldn’t detect it. Now, with the distance reduced to about ten meters, he could see it clearly.
Xu Yi now understood why it was hiding while attacking him.
It was simply too small, the smallest Fierce Beast he had ever seen, and a level 4.
Even if he killed it, there wouldn’t be more than ten pounds of meat.
Xu Yi continued to approach, preparing for a face-to-face attack.
He couldn’t let it escape; after finally encountering a level 4 Fierce Beast, he couldn’t let it get away.
He felt confident in dealing with a level 4 Fierce Beast.
The opponent’s attacks, though sharp, couldn’t injure Xu Yi. Such attacks were only slightly stronger than those from a level 3 Fierce Beast, not by much.
Quickly approaching, Xu Yi’s spear reached the Fierce Beast.
It was clearly stunned by Xu Yi’s swift actions for a moment, then it prepared to escape.
Yes, this little Fierce Beast wasn’t thinking of attacking Xu Yi, but instead immediately turned to flee.
However, Xu Yi didn’t give it the chance.
Binding!
As it turned, it was hit by a Binding Skill.
After all, once Chu Yi’s spear thrust forward, the skill was applied.
Then, Xu Yi’s spear rapidly struck the Fierce Beast’s body.
Its Defense Power was indeed strong; the spear couldn’t penetrate further beyond a dozen centimeters.
A minute quickly passed by.
Although the Binding Skill ended, it was immediately hit by a Delay Skill.
Therefore, its body stiffened as if in slow motion, unable to escape.
Xu Yi continued attacking, closing the distance with the opponent more and more.
Ten minutes at most, Xu Yi felt confident he could penetrate the small Fierce Beast’s defense and kill it. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
To say nothing else, the defense of the level 4 Fierce Beast was indeed strong.
As a level 3 Divine Master, dealing with level 3 Fierce Beasts didn’t feel as challenging.
With consecutive skill usage, the small Fierce Beast seemed caught and subjected to relentless attacks from Xu Yi.
Just as Xu Yi thought he could soon break through the opponent’s defense, he suddenly suffered a strong Telekinesis attack, sending him flying.
The small Fierce Beast’s crisis was resolved, and it zoomed upward, fleeing for its life.
Meanwhile, Lightning, lurking nearby, pounced on it and bit down.
After all, its Telekinesis was mostly depleted by Xu Yi.
As a result, Lightning directly pierced its skin.
The Fierce Beast seemed to know Lightning was a level 3 Fierce Beast; it wasn’t as timid towards Lightning and retaliated with its claws and teeth.
The two Fierce Beasts grappled mid-air.
After being thrown, Xu Yi immediately returned, flying high.
Binding!
A Binding Skill caused the Fierce Beast to fall from the air.
However, Lightning didn’t let it go, directly pouncing for a fierce bite.
As a result, it was quickly bitten to death by Lightning.
Xu Yi estimated that the small Fierce Beast’s final strike on him had consumed its remaining Telekinesis, making it unable to effectively counter Lightning’s attack.
Having bitten the small Fierce Beast to death, Lightning appeared proud, strutting as if showing off to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi couldn’t help but laugh, patting its head, and said, "Impressive, you killed a level 4 Fierce Beast."
Lightning proudly shouted twice, then nudged the small Fierce Beast’s body to Xu Yi’s feet.
Next, Xu Yi drew his dagger and dug out the small Fierce Beast’s head.
After extracting a transparent Brain Crystal from the small Fierce Beast’s head, Xu Yi examined it, finding its Telekinesis had been depleted and of no use anymore.
"Alright, go ahead and eat the corpse." Xu Yi said to Lightning; he didn’t plan to eat the Fierce Beast’s meat. Giving its flesh to Lightning would be more beneficial.
Lightning delightedly flew up, licked Xu Yi’s face, then dashed towards the Fierce Beast’s body.
Xu Yi took a loop around the area, having spotted some Iron Power Grass nearby and decided to harvest it.
Once he was done, Xu Yi returned to Lightning’s side.
The Fierce Beast was mostly devoured by Lightning, which was already full.
Xu Yi packed up the remaining corpse, planning to give it to Lightning again at night.
Then, Xu Yi proceeded with Lightning to continue their exploration.
The Fierce Beast was too small; Xu Yi felt it couldn’t represent the typical strengths of a level 4 Fierce Beast.
So he wanted to find a larger level 4 Fierce Beast to understand its capabilities.
Overall, level 4 Fierce Beasts are quite strong, and their Defense Power is even more robust.
In terms of attack power, there wasn’t any extraordinary strength shown.
However, in the time that followed, Xu Yi didn’t encounter any Fierce Beasts.
In terms of plants, Xu Yi did have some findings.
He discovered a plant somewhat resembling water spinach.
Or rather, it was a larger version of water spinach.
Xu Yi thought it would taste great if stir-fried.
Unfortunately, the quantity wasn’t much, and Xu Yi couldn’t find any seeds.
Nonetheless, he still dug up the entire plant.
Night quickly fell, prompting Xu Yi to find a spot to set up his tent.
Then, Xu Yi took out a small pot and cooked the large water spinach.
There wasn’t any special cooking method, just boiling it, then mixing with hot oil and salt.
Xu Yi found the taste of the large water spinach very good, its texture very tender, easier to chew than regular water spinach.
After eating, Xu Yi stoked the campfire a bit higher and returned to the tent.
Once inside, Xu Yi activated the invisibility function.
The audience had actually witnessed the tent’s invisibility function.
But upon seeing it again, it still felt incredible.
Indeed, this invisibility function was very strong; you couldn’t find a single flaw, as if the tent didn’t exist at all.
Xu Yi sat inside, cross-legged, cultivating and waiting for the Fierce Beasts to appear.
