Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 8 Increase in Strength

Seeing the three-eyed tiger still panting heavily, Luo Feng approached it and fired the remaining two arrows through its two eyes.

Spirit-level Great Ferocious Beasts have very strong defenses, especially those of the ferocious type.

Even if Luo Feng unleashed his full power, he would still find it difficult to injure it from its normal position.

If it weren't for that wound, how could he have dared to imagine such a terrifying sight?

After taking out a sharp dagger and finally suffocating him, Luo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally killed this guy, lucky me."

This three-eyed tiger was a completely unexpected surprise.

Looking at the still-flowing, scalding blood on his neck, Luo Feng couldn't help but step out, squat down, and take a sip. As the blood flowed into his stomach, he instantly felt a surge of power.

"There is Qi." Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

He immediately began to sip it in large gulps.

Even the jerky, with its ferocious appearance, possesses a vital energy; this fresh, living blood is even more potent.

Although it smelled incredibly foul, it was enough to make you hold your breath.

Glug glug.

Large gulps of blood entered his abdomen, and a scalding sensation spread throughout his abdomen, instantly being absorbed by his body and transformed into strands of power.

After about two minutes, when all the blood had been drained, Luo Feng let out a burp, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and felt the power gathering within his body, feeling overjoyed.

"I never expected that the blood of this Spirit-level Great Ferocious would contain such abundant Qi."

Compared to the jerky I ate today, the difference in blood volume over those two minutes was a thousandfold.

This is the normal cultivation speed.

Luo Feng wasted no time. His clone, holding a dagger, used tremendous force to painstakingly dissect the outer skin of the wound.

This scene reminded him of his early life on Earth, the life of hunting monsters. He never expected that after countless years, he would be able to experience it again.

"If blood has such effects, I wonder if meat does too."

Luo Feng couldn't resist the tiger sashimi. After trying it, he found that the sashimi also contained a rich aura.

What surprised him even more was that there was more than blood.

I ate about half of it raw, and my stomach felt bloated because I couldn't eat anymore.

If it weren't for the fact that his stomach couldn't process so much food in such a short time, he would have loved to put the entire Three-Eyed Tiger into his stomach.

Luo Feng sat down cross-legged and quickly digested the meat in his stomach. Strands of power condensed and flowed through his body, and the feeling of being strengthened was clearly perceptible.

But that's not enough.

After digesting most of it, Luo Feng started eating it raw again.

He discovered that, unlike these local beings, he had a strong digestive ability; the flesh and blood he ate were quickly transformed into Qi, thereby strengthening his body.

While eating, they digest flesh and blood into physical energy.

He finished drinking the blood, and the stench of blood that filled the surroundings wasn't too strong, so there was no need to worry too much about other ferocious creatures coming.

In less than two and a half hours, the spirit-level giant insect was reduced to a tiger skin and a skeleton.

To Luo Feng's surprise, he found that his body was much stronger than before.

"According to the information from Maoshan Village, he is currently at the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm, before the Awakening Realm, and can lift a 5,000-kilogram weight with one hand."

The Body Tempering Realm is a realm that Maoshan Village set for its own convenience. Each realm allows one to lift the corresponding weight with one hand.

One level is lifting one thousand kilograms, and so on.

"When I first came here, I felt that I was only at the fifth level of Body Tempering. Now, I have firmly established myself at the sixth level of Body Tempering. This progress is not bad." Luo Feng was very satisfied.

Seeing that the four wolves had not tracked him down here, Luo Feng's main body immediately merged into his clone.

The clone lifted the tiger skin, but as for the tiger cub, it couldn't be kept in captivity. Maoshan Village had never had the tradition of raising ferocious beasts. It wasn't that they had never raised them before, but rather that these kinds of ferocious animals simply couldn't be tamed. Once they grew up, their ferocious instincts would awaken, and they would commit murder.

We followed our memories back towards Maoshan Village.

……

On the way back to Maoshan Village, only twelve miles from where they found the Three-Eyed Tiger, Big Wolf, Water Stone, and the other three hid in the trees by the roadside, their eyes fixed on the road leading deep into the Great Maoshan Mountains, their eyes filled with tension.

"It's been over three hours, and we still haven't seen the captain."

The wolf was very anxious. Sitting on the tree branch, unable to move, he kept scratching the back of his head and stroking his head from time to time.

"That three-eyed tiger is at the Spirit level. Although Dano is also at the Awakening Spirit Realm, his strength is far inferior to that of the Spirit-level Great Ferocious. He's just an archer and not good at close combat. This time, he's probably in grave danger. That kid is really arrogant." Twenty-Eight shook his head and sighed. "And that outsider, I'm afraid he won't escape either."

"No, the captain said he can escape, so he definitely can." Scalefish didn't believe Dano would be in trouble.

"I trust Captain Mizushi," Mizushi said.

"Old Erba, you were the one who suggested this. If something happens to the captain, you'll be held responsible," Big Wolf said to Erba.

Twenty-Eight looked at Big Wolf: "Big Wolf, it's easy for you to say that. I suggested it, it's not like I insisted on coming. If he hadn't agreed, we wouldn't have come. He can only blame himself for this; he wasn't strong enough, but he still insisted on being strong."

"Shut up!" The big wolf's eyes flashed with anger as he leaped from his branch to Twenty-Eight's. "If the captain hadn't drawn that three-eyed tiger away, at least two of us would probably be dead. The captain sacrificed himself to save us, and this is how you talk to him?"

Seeing the wolf's gaze, Twenty-Eight stopped talking and turned his head away.

"It's better that he's dead. If he dies, the Spirit Aperture Pearl will be left behind, and maybe I can find it again," Twenty-Eight thought to himself.

Their gaze turned toward the direction of Mount Damao.

His eyes suddenly narrowed:

"Look, isn't that Dano? He's back."

Just as he was about to kill Dano, he came back with a thud.

Everyone's eyes turned to the figure dressed in animal skin clothing, carrying an item on his shoulder. The other three people showed excited expressions.

"It's the captain, he's still alive."

"Is that the tiger skin he's carrying on his shoulder?" Scaled Fish exclaimed.

With that, he jumped straight down from the tree.

Big Wolf and the others also jumped down quickly.

"Let's go greet the captain." Big Wolf walked ahead, heading in the direction of Luo Feng.

As they approached, they saw that it was Captain Dano, carrying the tiger skin on his shoulder. Excitement appeared on their faces.

but.

It seems that only the captain returned; Luo Feng, the alien, did not come back with him.

"Captain." Big Wolf stepped forward, his face filled with excitement, his eyes shining brightly: "You killed that Spirit-level Great Ferocious? That's top-tier stuff!"

As for Luo Feng, he wasn't that concerned.

"I managed to drag it down by sheer luck. It was badly wounded. I shot it with an arrow during my escape, and luckily, it hit its wound squarely. After the anesthetic knocked it out, I seized the opportunity to kill it."

Luo Feng explained it simply: "After I dissected that tiger with piercing eyes, other ferocious beasts came and escaped before I could. It's a pity about the meat."

Luo Feng deliberately swept his gaze across the four of them, his expression shifting slightly: "Where's that alien? Didn't he escape with you?"

"Isn't he following you, Captain?" the 28th Company asked.

"I saw him escape, and I thought he would rejoin you." Luo Feng's expression turned slightly grim. "So, it turns out he really did get away."

"Don't worry, he can't escape. That's the entrance to the depths of the Damao Mountains. If he crosses the red line and enters, he'll surely die. If he survives, he'll definitely pass through our Upper Village when he comes out again, and we'll eventually find him." Big Wolf didn't care at all.

Lin Yu nodded in agreement: "Yes, judging from that position, he definitely can't escape. I don't think he has much strength. If he breaks into Da Mao Mountain, he will surely die. His only way to survive is to leave."

"Then...then should we...wait for him?" Mizushi stammered.

Luo Feng shook his head: "Let's go back first. I'm too exhausted. If we encounter another Spirit-level Great Ferocious Beast, we'll surely die. There's no need to take the risk for him."

"Now, it's getting dark, and the risks are increasing."
