I Can Devour Spirits

At this moment, Duan Rong’s expression suddenly shifted. He noticed a twitch in a patch of tall grass not far from the tree, with leaves swaying and rustling.

Duan Rong’s breath tightened. He turned his head to glance at Fan Hongjiao by his side, only to see that Fan Hongjiao’s face was calm, showing no reaction.

Before long, a shadow emerged from the deep grass, shaking its body as it came out.

Once Duan Rong saw the small creature clearly, he couldn’t help but chuckle; they had encountered this thing once before on their way here, a young Arrow Boar.

For a single Martial Artist at the Primordial Qi Realm, an adult Arrow Boar is still somewhat troublesome.

After maturity, an Arrow Boar’s skin becomes keratinized, making its defense quite formidable, and the arrow rain it shoots from its back can be quite challenging to handle.

However, as long as three Martial Artists at the Primordial Qi Realm join forces, even an adult Arrow Boar can be slowly worn down to death.

The Arrow Boar isn’t very lethal, which greatly reduces the risk of hunting this Primordial Beast. Additionally, its flesh is rich and fatty, making adult Arrow Boars a popular hunting target in the Dark Forest.

Teams without Qi Vortex Realm experts often choose adult Arrow Boars as their hunting targets.

But Fan Hongjiao and her group rarely hunt adult Arrow Boars, as it’s too time-consuming, often requiring a long time to wear one down.

After adult Arrow Boars are hunted, the remaining young Arrow Boars roam the Dark Forest.

This young Arrow Boar was apparently moving through the grass to drink water by the stream.

The Arrow Boar emerged from the grass, its beady black eyes darting around, and its pink snout sniffing the air. Sensing no danger around, it eagerly rushed to the stream.

The young Arrow Boar was about the size of a wild cat, and as soon as it reached the stream, it lay there and began drinking eagerly, clearly very thirsty.

But at that moment, a flash of cold light was seen, and Wang Yue, holding the Butterfly Double Sabers, sliced the young Arrow Boar in half.

Wang Yue smiled slightly and said, ”Caught another little Arrow Boar.”

Lu Geng stood behind Wang Yue and said, ”It’s just a little Arrow Boar, and you came down for this?”

Wang Yue replied, ”You really can’t understand the hunger of those who haven’t eaten...”

Before Wang Yue finished speaking, a shadow of a whip suddenly lashed out, striking the ground near his feet. With a puff of smoke, a fist-sized rock was shattered, and then a voice came from the dense canopy not far away.

”Get back up the tree! Such a disgrace for just a young Arrow Boar!”

Fan Hongjiao held the Python Whip, her expression angry.

Wang Yue shrank back, and he and Lu Geng divided the young Arrow Boar between them and retreated back into the canopy.

Duan Rong, next to Fan Hongjiao, could clearly feel Fan Hongjiao’s heaving chest, indicating she was still angry at Wang Yue and Lu Geng for revealing their presence over a young Arrow Boar.

After Wang Yue and Lu Geng scurried back into the canopy, the rustling of leaves stopped. Not long after, another shadow slowly emerged from the grass where the young Arrow Boar had come from.

Unlike the young Arrow Boar, this shadow moved slowly. Through the gaps in the leaves, Duan Rong sensed a hint of leisure in its gait.

In the perilous Dark Forest, what kind of creature could walk in such a leisurely manner?

While Duan Rong was puzzled, Fan Hongjiao turned to look at him, pressing her fair fingertip to her red lips, signaling him to be silent.

At that moment, Duan Rong saw a flicker of fear in Fan Hongjiao’s gaze.

What kind of creature could make someone as powerful as Fan Hongjiao, a Third Level Qi Vortex Realm expert, so fearful?

By now, the shadow that had emerged from the grass had leisurely approached the stream, and the blue-green glow emitted by the stream illuminated the shadow clearly.

Hiding in the canopy, Duan Rong’s heart bristled upon seeing the true form of the shadow.

It had three bluish-black heads, each looking in a different direction as it walked. Its four slender hooves made a slight tapping sound under the tree.

Duan Rong couldn’t help but feel perplexed—although its appearance was ugly and it had three heads, its body wasn’t large and seemed devoid of claws or fangs. Why was Fan Hongjiao so afraid of it?

The three-headed beast had walked past the tree Duan Rong and company were hiding in and reached the stream, lowering one of its heads to drink from the water.

As the three-headed beast drank, the water nearby turned a bluish-black with dark bubbles.

Duan Rong’s brow furrowed instantly. A poison!?

This creature is clearly poisonous!

The floating plants on the stream’s surface began to decay immediately, revealing the potency of its poisonous nature.

After drinking, its belly slightly bulged. Just as it raised its head, the head facing Duan Rong and the others burped, releasing a black gas.

A branch not far from Fan Hongjiao instantly withered, dry leaves scattering to the ground. Fan Hongjiao dared not move, fearing to make a sound and alert the venomous creature.

Fan Hongjiao was obviously terrified, her whole body tense, with only a thin layer of leaves barely concealing her figure. Any slight mistake could expose her.
