Gu Qing Shan picked up the blood-red jade card, carefully observed it, infused it with spirit energy, and lightly pushed it.
Suddenly, a demonic and illusory voice sounded from the jade token.
"The target is still moving south, East 726, South 94. Orders: Faceless Giant, Bloodthirster Legion, full pursuit"
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan suddenly understood.
This is the demon army's secret dispatch order, the card that guides the army's movements.
Seems like this strange bird really is the demon army's messenger, specialized in sending messages and dispatching troops.
The messenger's speed is extremely fast, as fast as lightning when it flies at full speed, if it wasn't already heavily injured, Gu Qing Shan definitely wouldn't be able to stop it.
Without this strange bird's information and orders, the demon army will definitely deviate from their target.
Gu Qing Shan weighed the blood-red jade card in his hand, then put it into his bag.
Who would've thought that I would actually disrupt the demon army's dispatch order.
The demon bird is dead, it should be able to trouble the Faceless Giant and Bloodthirster for a while.
My cultivation is too low, I can only do this much. Gu Qing Shan sighed.
This can't go on, I need to change my situation as soon as possible.
Power, I need power!
At this moment, Gu Qing Shan's eyes are filled with determination and desire.
Washing off the black mud on his body, he went to check on Zhao Lu, seeing that he's still unconscious, Gu Qing Shan reloaded his arrows, put on his military bow, and left the camp.
It wasn't until the evening that Gu Qing Shan dragged a demon beast back to the camp.
In fact, he didn't go too far, but because his cultivation was too low, he had to use all his concealment skills. He wandered around the military camp, narrowly avoiding a few ferocious demon beasts, and finally killed a few low-level small demon beasts.
These demon beasts are the lowest level of existence, perfect for qi training early stage to deal with.
With his weak qi training level 2 power, even after using up all of the arrows in his quiver and adding a few more wounds on his body, he only managed to kill a few.
He couldn't be blamed for this. In his previous life, when players first wanted to hunt demon beasts, they had to form a large team and use all their strength to kill one demon beast.
Moreover, even if it was a small demonic beast, it would weigh three to four hundred kilograms. It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to move it.
The storage bag had limited space, so in order to maintain mobility, Gu Qing Shan only took one of them and brought it back.
He immediately gave up on the other small demonic beasts.
Danger lurked in every corner of the forest. The smell of blood on the corpses of the demonic beasts would soon attract many predators.
On the other hand, the War God UI was very disdainful of hunting low-level demon beasts. After an entire day of hunting, it only gave Gu Qing Shan 1 Soul Point.
He only had 4 points of Soul Power at the moment, but his Experience Points weren't too bad, finally reaching 10 points.
He could level up now.
The small demon beast they dragged back should be enough for him and Zhao Lu to eat for a while.
If it weren't for the lack of spirit stones for the Concealment Array, the two of them would have no problem staying here for another ten days.
When Gu Qing Shan returned to the camp, Zhao Lu had already woken up.
Zhao Lu's face was full of despair as he stood blankly at the camp's gate, only when he saw Gu Qing Shan and the small demon beast's corpse behind him did he come back to life.
Zhao Lu's back was bent over, his eyes staring straight at the small demon beast, unable to move away.
He said: "Brother Gu, thank you for your help before, go and rest, leave this beast to me, I'll make sure you'll be satisfied with your dinner tonight"
"You take it"
Gu Qing Shan dropped the demon beast, went back to his room, sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
"Current Experience Points: 0, do you want to level up?"
"Yes"
Following Gu Qing Shan's choice, his blood essence quickly rose, his spirit energy also became restless. But there's a checkpoint inside his body that's blocking his spirit energy, not letting it pass.
Being able to sense the checkpoint means it's time to break through it.
This is the chance to break through!
Gu Qing Shan naturally entered his breakthrough state.
Hoh!
Breathing out a mouthful of murky air, Gu Qing Shan's entire body felt refreshed.
Success, he finally broke through to qi training stage 3!
Gu Qing Shan immediately retracted his spirit energy, carefully spreading it throughout his body's meridians, slowly nourishing his body.
There are too many small wounds on his body, he can't be careless.
While using spirit energy to nourish his body, he glanced at the UI.
"Current Experience Points: 0/15"
The next time he wants to level up, he still needs to go out and hunt.
Gu Qing Shan felt an unprecedented sense of urgency filling his heart.
The Faceless Giant's strength is equivalent to Rejuvenation realm peak, an existence that Gu Qing Shan can only look up to right now.
With the Faceless Giant's strength, he should've already discovered the camp, but there are only two weak ants inside, so the Faceless Giant didn't bother to attack.
This feeling of having your life and death in the hands of a demon is really not a good one.
Gu Qing Shan paced back and forth a few times, then made up his mind.
No, I need to level up right away, all the way to Foundation Establishment realm.
From qi training stage to Foundation Establishment, from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, even every realm, there's a chance to learn a Thaumaturgy, but there's also a chance to fail.
This world's Thaumaturgy is divided into four types, exactly the same as the real world, namely Martial Thaumaturgy, 5-Element Transcendent, God's Chosen, and God's Descendant.
Martial Thaumaturgy is to stimulate the hidden power inside the body, increasing it by a large margin. For sword cultivators and body cultivators, it's perfect.
5-Element Transcendent is to stimulate the body's spirituality, awakening the main 5-Element or mutated 5-Element spirit root, able to use the power of the main 5-Element and mutated 5-Element to fight.
God's Chosen has a wide variety of skills, Gu Qing Shan knows more than a few thousand of them.
This type of Thaumaturgy is innate, triggered by luck, impossible to predict, so there's no need to mention it.
As for God's Descendant, it's just a title, specifically used to refer to people who have Divine Skills.
The so-called Divine Skills are the ability to steal the world's fortune, to do unimaginable things, to change the world, to reverse fate, to make the stars fall, to make all things end.
These kinds of skills are completely out of reach for normal players.
Even in this alternate world, only the most powerful human cultivators possessed Divine Skills.
Gu Qing Shan doesn't expect to awaken a God's Chosen Skill, nor does he expect to awaken a Divine Skill, he doesn't even expect to awaken his 5-Element.
He only wants to stimulate the power of Martial Thaumaturgy to greatly increase his fighting strength.
I must obtain a Thaumaturgy to save my life!
Gu Qing Shan's heart is filled with the desire to become stronger, but he's still calm, using his spirit energy to heal his wounds.
His wounds haven't healed yet, both his mind and body are exhausted, he can't force himself to go out and fight against the demon beasts.
Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of cutting firewood, he needs to give himself some time to recover.
An hour later, Zhao Lu arrived.
A hearty amount of barbecued demon beast meat, paired with a bowl of light as water porridge, filled up the table.
Gu Qing Shan and Zhao Lu ate to their hearts' content, cleaned everything up, then sat around the fire to talk.
"Are there any swords in the camp?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Qi training stage 3, he can slowly start practicing swordsmanship.
A bow for ranged combat, a sword for melee combat, this is how Gu Qing Shan fights in this life.
"Swords?" Zhao Lu shook his head, "Only military officers can carry swords, but all the military officers in the camp are dead, their weapons were thrown into the dead man's pit together with them"
— — the dead man's pit was swallowed whole by the Faceless Giant, not even a scrap was left.
