Chapter 7 All Made-Up Just to Trick You_1
Her feet moved, she borrowed force in the air to flip, and then landed on one knee. Looking up, she watched the Rattle Snake gradually lose its breath, lying motionless on the ground.
Without caring for her image, she plopped down on the ground, gasping for air. Feeling the emptiness of Phantom Power in her Dantian, Dugu Qianye pursed her lips, "Phantom Warrior Level Six, really not up to par!"
After resting, Dugu Qianye approached the snake, pulled out her dagger. Observing that no blood clung to the dagger, she nodded in satisfaction—indeed, it was a good dagger; despite the thick snake skin, it had pierced through easily without staining with blood.
She moved to the head of the snake, cracked open the skull, extracted the Demon Crystal, waved her hand, and stored the snake's body in her Spatial Ring before swiftly leaving the scene of the fight.
"Want to eat me? Hmph, sister will use you to brew snake soup, and cook snake stew!"
In the following days, Dugu Qianye kept training on the outskirts of Cangmang Mountain, looking for lone Spiritual Beasts to fight. After several days, her Phantom Warrior Level Six strength had solidified, and she made considerable progress with the Formless Divine Skill and the Ethereal Step Technique. Indeed, training was a good choice.
That day, Dugu Qianye was by the river, cleaning her wounds. She just fought a level five Spiritual Ape, whose defense and attack were remarkable. She had managed to kill the Spiritual Ape after much difficulty, but she was also wounded all over.
After bandaging her wounds, Dugu Qianye was about to rise when she suddenly noticed a large cluster of smooth, hairless plants by the river, about 20-40 centimeters tall. The plants had narrow lanceolate sheaths about the length of a finger joint, three-layer compound leaves, and long oval fruits with narrowed ends, densely covered with white stiff hairs.
Blinking her eyes to make sure, she was indeed right. Was this not cumin, the essential spice for barbecue from her previous life?!
