New Spear Feature: Shadow Strike!

Shen Kun and Shen Yuan felt the effects of the monster meat they had eaten starting to take hold, and they quickly devoured the entire pot of monster meat, leaving not even the dregs of the soup behind.

Then he quickly walked to the open space to cultivate.

They had already reached the second level of the Qi and Blood Realm and had initially mastered the Three Styles of the Savage Bull.

Next, all that's needed is to refine one's Qi and blood, further temper one's physical body, and breaking through to the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm will be a natural outcome.

With the combined strength of the three siblings, they are definitely among the top tier in the current unstable situation of Black Mountain Village.

Not to mention, with the added benefit of the folk artifacts created by Shen Yi, hunting low-level monsters is no longer a problem for them.

This ensures a sufficient supply of demon beast meat to nourish the body during cultivation, resulting in a significantly faster rate of strength improvement compared to others.

I estimate it won't take more than a month to break through to the next level.

Half an hour passed.

After Shen Kun and Shen Yuan finished their cultivation, they felt their muscles and meridians were swollen, sore, and weak all over.

They had almost exhausted the energy from the monster meat, so they simply stopped cultivating and prepared to wash up and rest.

Furthermore, due to the rapid flow of qi and blood through the body's meridians, their meridians experienced slight discomfort.

Continuing to practice this way could very likely damage your foundation, which would be a losing proposition.

But the two turned their heads and looked.

They discovered that the eldest brother was still maintaining the stance of the Bull Kung Fu, and the heat emanating from his body was still slowly rising.

"Something's not right. It's been so long, how can Big Brother still have so much energy?" Shen Kun asked in surprise.

Shen Yuan carefully observed her elder brother practicing his martial arts, as if she had discovered something, and a thought struck her:

"I don't think my brother is in a breakthrough state right now. It's just like he has a constant supply of nutrients to support his cultivation, allowing him to maintain his cultivation for a long time."

The two of them had almost digested the monster meat they had eaten, but the elder brother was still full of energy.

Shen Yuan had a vague guess.

Could it be that the eldest brother absorbed more nutrients from the monster's flesh than the two of them?

I waited for another 15 minutes or so.

Shen Yi finally slowly finished his practice.

The two immediately moved closer, asking expectantly, "Big brother, have you broken through to the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm?"

"not yet."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt a sense of fulfillment filling his body.

His eyes lit up involuntarily.

This talent of [Netherfire Food Refinement] has brought him tremendous benefits!

Not only can it refine all the food it eats, but it can also deliver the refined energy to all parts of the body, allowing every inch of muscle to be tempered.

My cultivation efficiency has increased several times compared to before I gained my talent!

If he continues to cultivate at this pace, he will be able to break through to the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm in four or five days.

It was almost six times faster than previously estimated.

Suppressing his excitement, Shen Yi glanced at the sky; the sun had only been up for a little over an hour. He immediately said:

"Take a nap, then we'll go into the mountains this afternoon."

Upon hearing this...

Shen Kun's spirits lifted.

"With Liu Ergou dead, we can finally go into the mountains without worrying about anyone tripping us up."

Shen Yi nodded.

These past few days, Liu Ergou's matter has taken up a lot of their time.

Now is the time to unleash our full potential and hunt down monsters in the Black Mountain.

At the very least, we must ensure that the three siblings' cultivation will not be interrupted by the supply of demon beast meat.

Before falling asleep, Shen Yi remembered the Yin Wood Spear that had been upgraded to level 4, and took the opportunity to check its detailed attributes.

[Shadowwood Spear - Level 4]

[Function: Thrust]

【Characteristics: Yin Sha (white, can deal penetrating damage to the target), Yin Ci (white, can be infused with a certain amount of Qi and Blood power to unleash a powerful piercing strike condensed from Yin Sha)】

【Durability: 97/100】

……

"The level 4 Yin Wood Spear has gained a new trait!"

After reading the detailed attributes, Shen Yi's eyes were filled with surprise.

He then thought about it again.

If a level 4 Yin Wood Spear gains a new trait, will all other creations also gain the same trait if they are upgraded to level 4?

Upgrading your creations will consume stamina.

Let's try again after tonight!

Thinking of this, Shen Yi suppressed his excitement, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

It was afternoon.

The three siblings slept for only about five hours before getting up to prepare for their trip into the mountains.

We arrived at the edge of Montenegro.

The villagers searching for resources here had bloodshot eyes, prominent dark circles, and looked exhausted and haggard.

The Fog Shadow Monsters attacked the village one after another, plunging their lives into panic.

Upon seeing Shen Yi and his two siblings.

Their previously dull eyes flickered, as if they were somewhat surprised that these three siblings were still alive.

Last night, thirty or forty people died in the village due to the attack by the Fog Shadow Monster.

Are Shen Yun's three children really that lucky? No Shadow Monsters have targeted their family?

But they had no interest in thinking about other people's affairs.

In everyone's eyes, these three kids were doomed.

They don't even have enough to eat at home, so no one will help those three burdens.

Everyone ignored Shen Yi and his two siblings and continued searching for edible wild vegetables and fruits.

"Let's go, let's hurry."

Shen Yi spoke calmly, ignoring the scrutinizing gazes of the people, and took the lead in walking deeper into the outer area.

Shen Kun and Shen Yuan followed closely behind.

The three quickly searched the surrounding area, and soon they saw a large wild deer dart out of the forest.

Shen Kun was overjoyed and, from a distance of over a hundred meters, raised his bow and arrow, aimed, and fired.

With the aiming characteristics of the level 2 Yin Wood Longbow, no matter how the wild deer ran, it could not escape the lock of this arrow!

The next second, the deer's head was pierced by an arrow!

puff-

The wild deer collapsed with a thud, making a thumping sound on the ground before falling silent in the blink of an eye.

"This... Shen Yun's child actually hunted such a large wild deer?"

Hearing the commotion, the villagers nearby immediately stood up and looked over.

Everyone watched in disbelief as Shen Yi and his two companions quickly approached the wild deer.

Soon, their eyes flickered, and they couldn't help but lick their lips.

Venison, they haven't had it in a long time.

This wild deer must weigh at least four or five hundred pounds.

These three children couldn't possibly eat such a big wild deer, could they?

Immediately.

Then someone approached and shouted from a distance, "Hey, Xiao Yi, you've hunted such a big wild deer!"

Without even looking up, Shen Yi and his two siblings tied up the wild deer and prepared to carry it away.

"Hey, Xiao Yi, I'm talking to you! How can this child be so rude? Shen Yun and his wife don't even discipline him. He has no respect for his elders at all, he really has no manners..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Liu Danian then saw Shen Yi and the others stop what they were doing and look in his direction, and he immediately smiled.

"That's more like it! Xiao Yi, it's hard for the three of you to lift such a big wild deer. Uncle Danian will come and help you. After you carry it down, you can give me 100 catties of venison, okay?"

talking.

When Liu Danian saw the youngest of the three siblings, a girl, walking straight toward him expressionlessly, he sensed something was wrong.

Shen Yuan's face was cold, her steps were steady and fast, and her hands and feet were fierce.

Upon reaching Liu Danian, without saying a word, he kicked him hard in the chest.

Bang! !

A muffled groan.

Liu Danian's bloated body was immediately kicked and sent flying several meters into the air. After landing, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and couldn't even get up.

"Someone's being hit! Someone's being hit!!"

His face was filled with terror.

Seeing Shen Yuan continue to approach step by step, he screamed in a trembling voice.

"Who do you think you are, to presume to talk about my older brother?"

"Keep your mouth shut."

Shen Yuan looked down at him, her eyes devoid of any emotion, and uttered chilling words.

"If you dare say another bad word about my elder brother, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

When Liu Danian saw her fierce eyes, he was immediately terrified, and his screams stopped abruptly.

This girl...this girl has gone mad!

Liu Danian felt a chill run down his spine and dared not meet her gaze, lowering his head tremblingly.

Upon seeing this.

The men and women around who wanted to come closer were also startled and dared not take another step forward.

Shen Yuan glanced indifferently at the crowd, then turned to her two elder brothers and together they carried the wild deer away.

Seeing their fierce posture as they carried the wild deer, everyone was shocked.

They must have entered the Qi and Blood Realm!

Immediately, everyone stopped looking down on the three Shen siblings.

Judging from Liu Danian's miserable state, you could tell how hard Shen Yuan's kick was; it must have broken many bones.

Their ruthless actions instilled a sense of apprehension in the crowd.

……

Shen Yi and his two companions ignored what the villagers were thinking.

They want to take away his meat?

Sure, bring something of equal value.

Otherwise, get as far away as possible.

Shen Kun clicked his tongue and said, "Little sister, that kick of yours is probably going to kill Liu Danian half to death. You're even more ruthless than I expected."

"He deserved it. How dare he talk nonsense to my brother. I'm being lenient by not kicking him to death." Shen Yuan snorted coldly.

"Hehe, you did a great job, your second brother is very satisfied." Shen Kun gave her a thumbs up.

"Get lost."

Shen Yuan rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Shen Yi turned around and gestured to them, "Alright, you two be quiet, we're about to approach the outer edge of Black Mountain."

Upon hearing their elder brother speak, the two immediately became obedient.

Shen Kun stayed behind to watch over the wild deer, while Shen Yi and Shen Kun maintained their steady breathing and moved forward quietly.

Black Mountain is vast. After more than an hour, the brother and sister had only explored less than one-tenth of the area near the outer edge.

The brother and sister worked together seamlessly and moved swiftly, managing to hunt quite a few prey here.

Unfortunately, no trace of low-level monsters was found.

Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Yi gave up the idea of ​​continuing to search for the monster and prepared to go down the mountain and go home as soon as possible.

After processing the game they had caught that day, the three siblings turned and headed back.

When returning to the edge.

But by chance, they saw a group of people walking out from another direction.

The person in charge was Wang Shaohui, who had visited Shen Yi's house once before.

A few people followed behind him.

"Shen Yi?"

Wang Shaohui was stunned for a moment, then noticed the abundant harvest that the siblings had brought, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

He quickly opened his mouth and laughed:

"You've had quite a good day."

Behind Wang Shaohui, a tall young woman also looked over.

Upon seeing that it was Shen Yi, she calmly looked away.

His grip on the spear tightened, his emotions clearly not as calm as they appeared.

"Uncle Shaohui".

After greeting everyone, Shen Yi said, "I got lucky today, I picked up a few bargains."

"Luck is also part of strength, let's go back quickly." Wang Shaohui nodded.

Shen Yi didn't exchange many words. He glanced at the people next to Wang Shaohui and then walked away.

A bystander, seeing them walk away, couldn't help but say to Wang Shaohui:

"Shaohui, those three brats are really ruthless. They beat Liu Danian half to death here just now. I wonder how long it will take him to recover."

"Do you think we should make them give us some compensation or something?"

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shaohui inquired about the specifics. After learning what had happened, he said irritably, "The three siblings depend on each other for survival, and he has the nerve to rush to divide the meat."

"Well... there's nothing we can do about it, everyone's having a tough time right now."

The man gave an awkward smile, too embarrassed to admit that he had the same thought earlier.

"Besides, it's not like they beat Da Nian that badly just because of one sentence. What would his family do during this time if Da Nian didn't go out to find food?"

"Alright, it's getting late, let's talk about it when we get back."

Wang Shaohui listened with a solemn expression, waved his hand, and led the group toward the village.

……

Back in the village.

After saying goodbye to his companions, Liao Ning returned home.

Enter the courtyard.

Mr. and Mrs. Liao were sitting solemnly on the stool.

Seeing their expressions, Liao Ning immediately understood that something must have happened, and promptly asked:

"Father, Mother, what's wrong?"

Liao Shi'an shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Wang Tieming and his gang are here again, saying they want you to come and help them."

"I told you that guy had bad intentions, we shouldn't go," Liu Cuiniang said in a low voice.

"What do you know, you woman! They can handle the Shadow Monsters, but if they target us, who will save us?"

Liao Shi'an slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily.

Liu Cuiniang was startled and instinctively shrank back, as if she had been beaten and scolded many times.

"This can't go on. I've already promised them, and I'll move there later."

As he spoke, Liao Shi'an's expression softened, and he said gently to his daughter, "Ah Ning, for our safety, it would be best if our family went to work with Wang Tieming and his group, and stopped associating with Wang Shaohui and his people. What do you think?"

"Can."

Liao Ning nodded in agreement.

She considered it many times and felt that it was indeed better to go to Wang Tieming's place.

After putting the weapons away.

Liao Ning suddenly said, "By the way, Mom and Dad, I ran into Shen Yi and the others today."

Upon hearing this, Liu Cuiniang immediately looked concerned, "Really? How are they? Are they alright now?"

"I didn't greet them." Liao Ning pursed her lips.

"You child, after all, he grew up with you since you were little..."

Liu Cuiniang wanted to say something more.

Liao Shi'an frowned and waved his hand to interrupt her.

"Those three are already dead. What's the point of getting involved with them? It's right for Aning not to contact them. Just ignore them."

Liu Cuiniang immediately fell silent, and said awkwardly, "Let's eat...the food is ready."

Liao Ning sat down to eat without saying a word, but for some reason, she thought of the look Shen Yi had given her earlier.

It's like...

Like strangers.

Although she had known this would be the outcome, she still couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

It's a very unpleasant feeling.
