Chapter 428: Difficult to Deal With
Just after the injection, Xu Yi felt a bit of itching on the wound on his thigh.
No doubt, it was his wound healing.
"It’s here again?" Xu Yi saw the Fierce Beast Black Mink appearing at the camp again, and this time it wasn’t going for the smoked meat, but heading towards his tent.
"Is it coming in?" Xu Yi stood by the door, ready for action.
As soon as it came in, Xu Yi would pounce on it, then hit it with a set of skills.
Binding, delaying, hit it a few times in turns, and then kill it.
Then, the Fierce Beast Black Mink scratched the tent and quickly retreated.
"Can’t even break through the tent?" Xu Yi was surprised, this tent was pretty sturdy, wasn’t it? That’s a 3rd level fierce beast’s attack, and it didn’t even tear through the tent?
"Could it be made of that protective material?" Xu Yi couldn’t help but think of the two sets of protective clothing, as No. 6 had mentioned they could withstand any attack from fierce beasts below level 4.
Only that level of material could achieve this, right?
If he had known, he wouldn’t have gotten hurt?
"This tent is really great, it can actually block the claws of this pesky fierce beast?"
"What’s so special about it, Su Yan and Cheng Jie’s protective clothing can even block attacks from level 4 fierce beasts. Isn’t it the same material used to make the tent?"
"The Spirit Race’s material technology is too strong, Xu Yi could totally make several protective outfits from the tent."
"Are you kidding? The tent is more useful, and you want to tear it down?"
"Get inside, hurry up and get inside, once you’re in, you’re dead, Xu Yi is waiting for you in there, little beast."
Xu Yi was also hoping the Fierce Beast Black Mink would come in, but unfortunately, after it found it couldn’t tear through the tent, it retreated, grabbed a piece of smoked meat, and ran off.
Xu Yi shook his head helplessly, this Fierce Beast Black Mink was too cunning, nor was it very brave.
Xu Yi felt that without its speed, the Fierce Beast Black Mink might actually be average in strength, maybe even easier to deal with than the Fierce Python. Unfortunately, Xu Yi’s binding skills couldn’t hit it, couldn’t at all offset its speed.
Strength, his own strength was still too weak.
Xu Yi watched for a while, and after confirming the Fierce Beast Black Mink hadn’t returned, he glanced down at Lightning rubbing against his leg.
Then, Xu Yi noticed the wounds on Lightning were gone.
Not just Lightning’s wounds, even the several dozen wounds on his leg had all healed.
Xu Yi was amazed by the effect of the Rapid-Acting Body Repair Potion, not expecting its effect to be so astounding.
Luckily, he used it inside the tent; otherwise, the Spirit Race would have sent someone over.
Xu Yi definitely couldn’t go out like that, naturally, he had to make some disguises.
So, Xu Yi took out some bandages and wrapped Lightning up, and also did some bandaging on himself.
Then, he left Lightning in the tent and went out for a walk, to see if the Fierce Beast Black Mink had really left or was lurking nearby, waiting to attack him as soon as he came out.
After staying outside for half an hour without seeing the Fierce Beast Black Mink appear, Xu Yi felt it had probably really left.
After checking the smoked meat, Xu Yi brought them inside the tent. After all, there was still 0.5 cubic meters of space inside that could be used for storage.
What was left could just stay inside the tent.
Without breaking through to the 3rd level Divine Master’s realm, Xu Yi didn’t plan to enter the area where 3rd level fierce beasts were active.
They were just too strong.
Unless, Xu Yi could have a piece of protective clothing.
However, since he gave them to Su Yan and Cheng Jie, Xu Yi didn’t feel right asking for it back. What if one of them got hurt or died after he took it back?
After all, they were eliminated ones, with no chance to quit.
After securing the smoked meat, Xu Yi returned to the tent to continue his cultivation.
However, Xu Yi first went through the Body Refining Technique twice, then began to practice the Supreme Profound Meditation Method.
Enhancing strength, getting stronger a bit faster was still necessary.
Facing 3rd level fierce beasts felt so powerless, what if a 3rd level flying beast came along? Wouldn’t that be even worse?
Just before nightfall, Lu Ke and the others returned.
"Xu Yi, what happened to you?" Lu Ke got worried immediately upon seeing Xu Yi’s legs wrapped in bandages.
"It’s nothing, just a Fierce Beast Black Mink, but it’s gone now. I only got a slight flesh wound, nothing serious, it will be fully healed by tomorrow. What about you guys, any gains today?" Xu Yi smiled as he spoke, although his injury had already healed, he had wrapped himself up for disguise purposes.
"Even a level 3 fierce beast you can’t handle?" Qin Fan gasped, hearing Xu Yi say the opponent had already left, he knew Xu Yi must not have harmed the beast much.
"Its speed is extremely fast, making it impossible to engage, I ended up hiding in the tent so that it wouldn’t attack me." Xu Yi spread his hands helplessly, he wished he could handle a level 3 fierce beast. Unfortunately, his strength didn’t allow for it.
"Should our camp move back? There’s no water source here, not very convenient." Qin Chao suggested, tactfully addressing the lack of water source rather than pointing out the danger, making it more acceptable for everyone.
"Yeah, always using the water from the Star Chart isn’t that convenient, this water was all boiled by us." Su Yan immediately echoed.
"Fine, let’s move back 5 kilometers, to that small creek." Xu Yi rubbed his nose, knowing it was senseless to fight against something they couldn’t defeat.
So, everyone took action immediately, packing up the tent and bundling up the chopped firewood to take along. With 7 mounts, carrying some things was pretty easy.
After selecting a new campsite, they started cooking dinner.
They had run around the jungle all day and hadn’t encountered any fierce beasts.
However, they did have some gains.
They discovered a type of plant like a vegetable, much larger than a typical vegetable, each one was about a meter tall, weighing fifty or sixty pounds each.
In the evening, they stir-fried a pot of it and found it tasted better than cabbage, with a slightly sweet flavor.
So, it ended up being called Giant Cabbage.
They found 5 pieces of this Giant Cabbage, and one of them had seeds, which they collected.
After all, if they completed the 500-day challenge, they could settle on the planet and naturally start cultivation.
Giant cabbage, White Jade Radish, sweet potatoes, and potatoes could all be planted.
At that time, not only would they need to eat, but other humans would too.
After dinner, everyone entered a state of cultivation, as Xu Yi being attacked by a level 3 fierce beast put pressure on Lu Ke and the others.
If Xu Yi couldn’t handle a level 3 fierce beast, their encounter with one would lead to a dire outcome.
Quickly improving their strength was the most secure method.
