"The host has devoured a piece of obsidian ore. You have gained 5 devouring points!"
"Ding! The host has broken through to the mid-stage of the fifth level of the martial path!"
In an instant, Ye Xuan's aura grew stronger, and the spiritual energy in his body also soared.
"Hiss!"
When the white-scaled python saw that Ye Xuan had taken away its item, it immediately opened its bloody mouth and bit at Ye Xuan's head, as if it wanted to swallow Ye Xuan.
"Gale Cut!"
Ye Xuan flicked his long sword, and an even sharper Sword Qi slashed at the white-scaled python's body.
"Hiss!"
With a muffled sound, the white-scaled python's head flew over, and its body was separated from its body!
Instant kill!
Looking at the python's head and body that were still moving, Ye Xuan wiped his cold sweat. It seemed that he had made the right bet. The black stone was indeed a good item.
Five devouring points meant that the black stone was worth around five million taels of silver.
"What a disgusting animal. Its head is already chopped off, but its body and head can still move. If I'm not careful, I'll be bitten."
Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly.
Snakes were a special kind of creature. If a part of its body was separated from its body, it could still maintain its original movement for a period of time. Therefore, the severed tongue could still carry out conditioned reflexes, opening its mouth or spitting out its tongue.
Now, Ye Xuan had five devouring points. He directly spent three points to exchange for a skill called the Devouring Hand.
From now on, as long as he touched something with his hand, he could devour it. It was very convenient.
Moreover, the devouring skill could be upgraded and could devour an area.
Not only that, the devouring points could be exchanged for a devouring space, which was similar to an Interspatial Ring, but much safer.
Ye Xuan placed his hand on the swaying python and devoured it. Then, he pierced the python's head with his sword and devoured it as well.
"It's really a fifth-rank monster. It has improved a lot."
Ye Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
Originally, he only needed 500,000 taels of silver to break through. Now that he suddenly obtained 5,000,000 taels of obsidian, he directly broke through to the mid-stage of the fifth stage of the martial path.
Furthermore, he was not far from the peak of the fifth stage of the Martial Path.
The Devouring System was indeed a good thing!
However, the amount of resources required to level up was too large. Five million silver was enough to nurture an ordinary person to the sixth stage of the Martial Path.
After cleaning up the mess, Ye Xuan looked around but didn't find anything.
Then, he left the cave and found a tree in the forest to rest.
The night passed uneventfully. The next day, Ye Xuan woke up early and continued hunting.
Now that he had broken through to the mid-fifth stage of the Martial Path, he was just a step away from breaking through to the peak of the fifth stage of the Martial Path, so he wanted to return to Lianyun City after breaking through.
With the Devouring Hand, Ye Xuan could kill Demonic Beasts with ease.
However, things were not that simple.
"Big brother, when I went out to relieve myself, I saw a kid kill an Iron Armored Bull. Then, the Iron Armored Bull disappeared in the next moment."
In a forest somewhere in the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun, a skinny man ran up to a scarred man and said.
"Disappeared? Are your eyes playing tricks on you? "The knife-scarred man was startled and asked in astonishment.
"No, the Iron Armored Bull is a third-rank Demonic Beast. It's much bigger than the two of us. I didn't see wrongly …" The skinny man said seriously.
"If you didn't see wrongly, then there's only one possibility!" The scarred man's eyes suddenly lit up. "An Interspatial Ring!"
The skinny man hurriedly nodded. "That's right, that's right. Only an Interspatial Ring can do that. Big brother, we've hit the jackpot this time. Someone actually has an Interspatial Ring!"
An Interspatial Ring was an extremely precious item. Most people had heard of it but had never seen it before.
Previously, the Heavenly Yuan Sect's Enforcer, Yu Jin, had one. However, this person's identity was extremely mysterious, so it was reasonable for him to have an Interspatial Ring.
Moreover, even the Sect Leader of a sect might not have an Interspatial Ring. However, it was impossible for a kid who came to the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun to have one.
"Are you sure that the kid lost an Iron Armored Bull?" The scarred man couldn't help but ask again.
"I swear on my head that I didn't see wrongly. Moreover, big brother, we've done that kind of thing before. Since there's no one here, why don't we …" The skinny man raised his eyebrows.
"Alright, let's kill him!"
The scar-faced man was also moved. An Interspatial Ring was priceless. If they could really obtain it, they would definitely become an expert in their own right.
As for the kid that the skinny man was talking about, he was actually Ye Xuan. When he was devouring the Demonic Beast's corpse, the skinny man had accidentally seen it.
Immediately, the two of them picked up their weapons and chased after him.
However, at this moment, Ye Xuan was still looking for the next Demonic Beast to kill. He was completely unaware that danger was approaching him.
"Hmm? Footsteps?"
Ye Xuan, who was looking for his prey, suddenly felt that something was wrong. He immediately frowned and turned his head. He saw two figures following him out of the forest.
These two people were the skinny man and the scarred man.
"Little brother, please wait a moment." Seeing that Ye Xuan had discovered him, the skinny man shouted loudly and jogged over.
Ye Xuan frowned. He sized up the two of them and found that they were around 40 years old. As for their strength, he couldn't tell.
"Stop!"
Ye Xuan suddenly raised his hand and signaled for the skinny man to stop. Although he hadn't been in this world for long, after fusing with the memories of the unlucky guy, he wasn't a newbie anymore.
In this wilderness, there were always some discordant things happening, such as killing and robbing.
"What's the matter?" Ye Xuan looked at the skinny man who stopped twenty meters in front of him and asked loudly.
The skinny man revealed a harmless look and said, "Little brother, it's like this. We accidentally lost our map, so we wanted to ask you if you have an extra map of the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun?"
"Map?"
Hearing this question, Ye Xuan's frown loosened. He then took out a sheepskin scroll and threw it to the side. "Brothers, it's only right for us to help each other when we're outside. I'll leave the map here. Come and get it after I leave!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
If the two of them were really looking for him because they lost their map, he was more than willing to help because he had a spare map on him.
