Time flew by and soon, Lin Huang had been in the Abyss Brink for six days.
Aside from the first two days, he had been quietly cultivating Army Attack Tactics for the past four days.
The reason why he was cultivating Army Attack Tactics was because of the cultivation system that Mr. Fu had mentioned earlier. Secondly, he had reached a bottleneck in his Sword Dao. He had to start from other aspects in order to elevate his abilities.
Lin Huang's Army Attack Tactics had reached level-8 two years ago. Ever since then, he had been putting it aside and allowed his Life Power to run on its own. He would only use it to accelerate the output of his Life Power during battles.
He needed 810,000 card pieces to level up to level-9. However, after two years, he had only accumulated less than 600,000 card pieces.
As he cultivated at full speed for the past few days, Lin Huang could circulate his Life Power almost every second. After cultivating for more than ten hours on the first day, he had accumulated more than 50,000 card pieces.
For the next few days, he didn't do anything else. Apart from eating and sleeping, he spent more than fifteen hours circulating the Combatant Formula. After four days, he had finally accumulated 810,000 card pieces. A notification from Xiao Hei was finally heard.
"It has been detected that you have accumulated 810,000 Army Attack Tactics card pieces. You have met the requirements to level up Army Attack Tactics. Would you like to consume 810,000 card pieces to level up Army Attack Tactics?"
"Yes!" Lin Huang made his decision without hesitation.
[Consumed Army Attack Tactics Pieces x 810000 … Army Attack Tactics leveling up …]
"Congratulations, Army Attack Tactics has leveled up to level-9!"
"You will need 10,000,000 Army Attack Tactics card pieces for the next upgrade!"
"Erm, 10,000,000 … I finally understand why there were so few people in the ancient epoch who could become a cultivator." Lin Huang was speechless when he saw the number.
Even with Xiao Hei's Goldfinger, he would need to accumulate 10,000,000 card pieces to level up to level-10 of Army Attack Tactics. Only then would he be considered as a cultivator. Even if he did nothing else and cultivated Army Attack Tactics for more than 15 hours a day, he would need 200 days to accumulate 10,000,000 card pieces. Not to mention the ordinary people who did not have a Goldfinger, they would not be able to obtain a complete skill by accumulating card pieces. Not to mention advancing from the first level to the ninth level, just advancing from the ninth level to the tenth level would require several years of bitter cultivation.
The Combatant Formula's sixth level was a small chasm, the eighth was a large chasm, and the ninth to tenth level was a bottomless pit. Those who lacked talent, potential, and perseverance would all fail midway. However, only by reaching the tenth level could one switch to cultivating the Twisted Fate Scripture and become a true cultivator. It was no wonder that there were so few cultivators in the ancient era.
However, leveling up to level-9 of Army Attack Tactics did not increase Lin Huang's abilities. The only difference was that his Life Power was recovering a few times faster than before, allowing Lin Huang to control his Life Power more precisely.
At midnight on the sixth day, Lin Huang finally opened his eyes after completing the ninth stage of the Combatant Formula.
"Master, I've found the opportunity to deal with the Devil's Psykid," Bloody said immediately after noticing that Lin Huang had woken up from his cultivation. "Tomorrow is the Rakshasa Mother's free time for the kids. There's only one day of free time every month. The Devil's Psykid and the other kids can only leave the Rakshasa Mother's lair on this day. "
"Tomorrow? We'll have to come up with a suitable plan as soon as possible." Lin Huang said. The news came just in time as he had just completed the leveling up of Army Attack Tactics.
"The Rakshasa Mother will leave the lair tomorrow morning, so it's highly possible to kill it. However, there's a possibility that it's monitoring the kids," Bloody reminded him.
"That's why I'll have to leave with the carcasses as soon as I kill it. I won't be able to extract the tinder directly." Lin Huang nodded.
After the death of a monster, the Life Fire in its body would slowly disperse. Within an hour, the tinder could be extracted from the Life Fire. If the time was exceeded, the Life Fire would disperse completely and the tinder would not be able to be extracted. That was why Lin Huang did not have much time.
"Yes, as we don't know what the Rakshasa Mother's abilities are, we'll have to prepare for the worst. We'll assume that it has the ability to teleport." Bloody nodded. "That's why we'll have to leave as soon as we kill it."
After communicating with Bloody for a while and confirming all the details of the hunt the next day, Lin Huang only went to bed when it was past 1 am
Early in the morning, Lin Huang could not fall asleep even before it was 6 am
After so many days of waiting, the tinder was finally within reach.
After breakfast, Lin Huang recalled Bai, Lancelot, and the Eclipse Boa into their card forms. Bloody was the only one who stayed behind as a guide.
Sitting at the entrance of the cave, he waited patiently for the right time.
At about 8 am, Bloody's monitor showed that the Rakshasa Mother was leaving with a baby-like monster in its arms.
Soon, a few of the child-like monsters that were adopted by the Rakshasa Mother walked out of the dilapidated building one after another. The Devil's Psykid that was Lin Huang's target was the last one to come out.
The few monsters quickly chose a direction and left. The Devil's Psykid also looked around and chose a direction to leave in. It seemed like it was heading towards the area where Lin Huang was.
"Why is it coming towards us?" Lin Huang asked curiously.
"It's not coming for us. Perhaps it's going back to its lair," Bloody guessed.
"Back to its lair? Is it homesick? " Lin Huang thought it was a human emotion, but he was not sure if monsters that were above triple mutated would have such emotions.
"I don't think so. Most of the monsters have a different way of thinking compared to humans. They don't have the concept of home. To monsters, the lair is just a temporary place to stay. It's like how humans feel about renting a house for a short period of time. They won't miss it. If it's going back to its lair, it might be because there's something that it cares about in the lair, "Bloody explained and speculated at the same time.
"Something that makes an immortal-level triple mutated monster care about it must be something valuable." Lin Huang smiled. "Can you confirm the location of its lair?"
"I've confirmed it two days ago. Apart from the cave that we've occupied, there's only one other empty cave in the area."
"Let's go to its lair and guard it!" Lin Huang grinned.
A few minutes later, Lin Huang and Bloody arrived at the entrance of a lair.
"It's here. Do you want to go in?" Bloody asked. "It'll take more than half an hour for it to come back. Although my Leech Pods didn't find anything, we can go in and search."
"There's no need for that. We'll wait outside." Lin Huang shook his head and hid in the forest nearby with Bloody. He concealed his aura.
As expected, the Devil's Psykid headed straight to the lair. After more than half an hour, it appeared at the entrance of the cave. It stopped for a while and looked around carefully before entering the cave.
As soon as the Devil's Psykid entered the cave, Bloody immediately projected the scene in the cave.
The Devil's Psykid entered the deepest part of the cave. It walked to a wall and pressed its hand on it. A few moments later, a layer of the wall began to crack. It turned into dust and fell off, revealing purplish black cracks that were as thick as a strand of hair. The dense cracks covered half of the wall like vines. Countless tiny cracks were spreading at a slow speed.
