The clever look on its face made Lin Zheyu burst into laughter.

“Not bad, this ferocious beast seems to be at least at the level of just entering the Qi Blood Realm. You little guy, you sure know how to enjoy yourself.”

Lin Zheyu observed the ferocious beast’s corpse on the ground and said with a smile.

He somewhat understood why the scent of the Tracking Powder was spread all over the mountains and plains. It was probably when Xiaohei was hunting the ferocious beast.

He just couldn’t figure out where this little guy got the fire from.

“Xiaohei, how did you start a fire?”

Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

Unfortunately, although Xiaohei was clever, it still couldn’t understand such complex language.

It scratched its plump belly with its paw and tilted its head, looking at Lin Zheyu with a puzzled expression, appearing a bit anxious.

It was wondering if this two-legged creature in front of it had said something it didn’t understand and if it hadn’t fulfilled something, hence not being given the barbecue.

Chirp chirp?

Xiaohei chirped twice, seemingly asking what Lin Zheyu meant just now.

Lin Zheyu smiled, telling Xiaohei to sit down, then began to barbecue.

He didn’t plan to eat the meat. After removing the hide and fur of the ferocious beast with a knife without cleaning it, he started grilling it.

Hot oil sizzled on the beast meat, sprinkled with salt, chili powder, and seasonings, with the aroma spreading all around.

Xiaohei sitting nearby couldn’t help but drool.

More than an hour later.

After finishing the barbecue, Xiaohei lay comfortably on the ground, its belly full and bloated.

The ferocious beast it hunted was very large, and though Xiaohei was powerful, its body size limited its food intake.

Before it had eaten a third of it, Xiaohei couldn’t eat any more.

“Get up, once you’re full, it’s time to work.” Lin Zheyu kicked Xiaohei’s belly and said.

Chirp chirp—

Xiaohei turned over and got up, chirping as if asking what was needed to be done.

During this time, after tasting the delicious barbecue, it was completely on Lin Zheyu’s pirate ship.

No going back.

Never returning to the arduous days of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

“Let’s go, we’re going to catch a strong ferocious beast.”

“Lead the way in front.”

Lin Zheyu waved his hand, signaling Xiaohei to lead the way ahead.

After these past few days of teaching, Xiaohei could now distinguish some simple words such as ferocious beast, catch, strong, barbecue, etc.

The last Qi Blood Realm ferocious beast was found with Xiaohei leading the way.

If not for Xiaohei, they would have returned empty-handed last time.

Upon hearing this, Xiaohei’s eyes rolled around and it dashed into the forest.

Its speed was very fast, seemingly its innate talent.

Without using the Qi and Blood Burst Skill, Lin Zheyu operated the Golden Swan Skill with all his strength, and his speed was only about the same as Xiaohei’s.

Swish

Swish swish

A human and beast quickly advanced through the forest, heading into increasingly remote areas.

Xiaohei itself also had a strong ability to conceal its aura; as long as it didn’t engage in battles, even Lin Zheyu might not be able to detect it.

Lin Zheyu operated the Turtle Breath Skill, concealing the aura on his body.

With Xiaohei leading the way, he no longer needed to rely on his previous method to search for powerful ferocious beasts.

However, Xiaohei was still somewhat unreliable, often leading him to weaker ferocious beasts.

Hiss—hiss hiss hiss—

Xiaohei suddenly stopped, lowered its voice, pointed with its paw deep into the forest, and showed an angry expression on its face.

Apparently, it had been bullied by a hidden beast here.

“Go and lure it out.”

Lin Zheyu patted Xiaohei, who was full of anger, and said with a smile.

As for himself, he gripped his Golden Scale Blade tightly, the power of Qi Blood within him surging, his spirit tense.

Whoosh—

Xiaohei rushed out with a roar, diving into the forest.

Lin Zheyu waited attentively, ready at any moment to unleash a lethal strike, but waited left and right, yet Xiaohei and the beast did not appear.

“Xiaohei is still so unreliable; maybe it led us to the wrong place.”

Lin Zheyu was speechless.

Perhaps Xiaohei had been brewing its emotions for a long time, roared as it charged in, and then didn’t find the beast, feeling quite depressed.

Another ten minutes passed.

Finally, a roar echoed through the forest from a distance, resounding through the whole area.

Lin Zheyu’s figure moved, rushing in that direction.

After charging about three hundred meters, he saw Xiaohei dodging left and right, fleeing hurriedly in all directions.

The moment it saw Lin Zheyu, a look of delight appeared in its small eyes, and it quickly rushed towards Lin Zheyu.

Behind it was a ferocious beast over three meters long, covered in dark fur, with two sharp tusks protruding from its upper jaw.

Its presence was terrifying, and with a roar from the beast, a frightening aura permeated, even Lin Zheyu felt a strong sense of forewarning rising in his heart.

“Oh my, Xiaohei, you really think highly of me, bringing me to challenge such a big guy!”

Lin Zheyu tightened his grip on the Golden Scale Blade, exuding a powerful aura.

Boom!

Lin Zheyu launched the first attack.

He leaped fiercely, the blade whistling, carrying the momentum integrated into the edge, and slashed towards the beast’s face.

Roar!

The ferocious beast noticed Lin Zheyu at this time and immediately abandoned the previously taunting Xiaohei, roaring as it pounced towards Lin Zheyu.

Though its size was enormous, it was extremely agile.

It simply twisted its body gently, easily avoiding Lin Zheyu’s slash, and continued to charge towards him.

However, Lin Zheyu’s body technique was incredibly nimble, not afraid to compete with body technique.

His toes lightly tapped, elegantly dodging the beast’s bite, and narrowly leaped to avoid the beast’s claws.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, the power of Qi Blood within his body erupted, and the second blade slashed down towards the beast’s back.

Hiss—

Hiss hiss hiss—

Xiaohei stood on a nearby branch, dancing with its hands and feet.

It waved its little paws, baring its teeth, with a savage look on its face, as if it wasn’t Lin Zheyu fighting the beast but itself.

The battle between Lin Zheyu and the beast was intense.

This beast was very strong, and when the blade struck it, it felt like hitting a dull tool, only breaking the skin and not causing any serious damage.

On the contrary, Lin Zheyu’s arm ached from the huge counter-shock force.

Moreover, every attack from the beast was extremely fierce.

In Lin Zheyu’s current state of high attack and low defense, if he was hit even once, he would have to account for himself here.

Bang!

Again, he narrowly avoided the beast’s attack, and a thick tree trunk was shattered by the beast’s paw.

“Finally, the ninth slash!”

Lin Zheyu grinned, the power of Qi Blood within him surging into his arms, gathering the huge momentum at the blade’s edge.

This strike, after the momentum of the previous eight slashes, gathered an extremely massive force.

The blade swung out, emitting a slight tearing sound.

Even the beast sensed the terror of this strike, it turned sharply, intending to dodge this dreadful attack.

However, it was already too late.

The blade descended, and the terrifying power came from the blade’s edge, slicing through the beast’s tough fur like cutting through tofu.

“Awooo!”

The beast let out a miserable cry, blood splattering everywhere.

However, Lin Zheyu, who had hit the target, had no intention of taking advantage of the situation while it was weakened, instead, he turned sharply, picked up Xiaohei, fully operating the Golden Swan Skill, and fled at full speed.

Joking, that strike only broke the beast’s fur defense, and when it hit the opponent’s bones, Lin Zheyu felt like he had struck an indestructible piece of metal.

It only went in slightly and couldn’t move any further.

Not only did he fail to severely injure the beast, but the powerful rebounding force also made his tiger’s mouth bleed.

“Can’t beat it, better run first.”

Lin Zheyu quickly decided, better to wimp out when needed.

He was currently only a sixty percent real man, and under full burst, his Qi Blood would be spent in six minutes.

Without using the Qi Blood Burst Skill, he couldn’t defeat the beast, couldn’t even dodge its attacks, merely courting death.

Hiss—chirp chirp—hiss hiss—

Xiaohei, grabbed by Lin Zheyu, had no sense of urgency, continuously waving its paws and chirping, as if asking why not continue fighting.

Lin Zheyu was so irritated that he almost wanted to throw Xiaohei away.
