Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The Rogue Rabbit Bandit
In the crevice of the rock, Wang Wu once again entered the Level 6 Concealment status, hiding the corpses of 53 ordinary iron-toothed flying locusts in the innermost part.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to eat, but his satiety has already reached the maximum limit of 550 points.
Once this limit is exceeded, he won’t be able to enter the Concealment status because he would be too full.
Fortunately, it was still early spring, the temperature was not very high, so it should be possible to store them for a while.
From day to night, the valley remained silent, who knows how many little demons managed to survive.
Anyhow, neither the wolf demon overseeing the valley nor his subordinates have been seen, let alone the mysterious great demon.
It seems that the little demons in the valley are just crops growing from the ground. Though damaged, they could sprout another batch.
Wang Wu quietly watched without any emotional disturbance; that’s normal, that’s the real Cultivation Realm. When even the ordinary world on Earth has become chaotic, why wouldn’t the Cultivation Realm be chaotic and full of fairy tales?
Demons compete with demons, humans compete with humans, and the demons and humans born from competition continue to compete. That’s the essence of this world.
"There are no fairy tales in the Cultivation Realm, nor any belief in tears. Therefore, developing quietly, growing cautiously, is a skill that must be mastered."
Wang Wu once again summarized his experiences, paying tribute to the little demons in this valley; after all, they accompanied him for nearly a year as like-minded mid-level demons.
Journey well!
After nightfall, the valley remained as silent as death, indicating that very few little demons survived.
Wang Wu waited until midnight before getting up and crunching some midnight snacks.
The iron-toothed flying locusts do not contain paralyzing poison, only tasting a bit bitter, or maybe his current 3-point paralysis poison resistance is at work.
Nonetheless, the nutrition is undeniably rich.
Just consuming one iron-toothed flying locust grants at least 10 points, at most 15 points of spiritual qi, and 100 points satiety.
Wang Wu ate only three before he was full again.
Alas, who would have thought that one day he would worry about having too much food to eat?
Looking at his current attribute bar, after growing to the second stage, his growth has reset to zero; until now, it’s at 7.6%. But truth be told, Wang Wu is now not in a hurry to grow, which somehow gives him the feeling that he’s becoming a fat pig ready for slaughter.
Though it sounds absurd.
"I should level up Concealment one more time."
Seeing his spiritual qi reserve reach 100 points again, Wang Wu decisively added it to the Passive Concealment Talent, upgrading from Level 6 to Level 7.
Regardless of anything, this bloodline talent takes utmost priority.
After successfully adding the point, there was no response until after three seconds, a line of information slowly appeared,
"Since you’ve remained motionless for three seconds, you’ve activated Level 7 Passive Concealment."
"You can now achieve excellent mimicry fusion in special environments, such as snowfields, water, windstorms, and desert wastelands."
"All unranked insects and beasts can’t discover you."
"The vast majority of demons with insufficient cultivation power can’t discover you, even those with special reconnaissance talent, extremely sensitive perception, special bloodline talent restraint, demons, spirits, monsters, or demons whose cultivation realm surpasses yours by two levels, can easily overlook you. But when close, especially upon bodily contact, you will inevitably be discovered."
"Now you can take some chances and bet whether the low-tier human race cultivators searching for you can discover you."
"Warning: In front of demons with reconnaissance divine techniques, or demons whose cultivation realm surpasses yours by three levels, or human third realm cultivators, you remain a clumsy and laughable clown."
——
"Indeed, Level 7 Passive Concealment is still far from dealing with the upcoming crisis."
Wang Wu pondered; in every growth stage, bloodline talents can be upgraded by 5 levels; ideally, he might ultimately reach Level 25 Passive Concealment.
But it still doesn’t possess inherent advantages; otherwise, that Bear Mother wouldn’t have been hunted to death by human race celestial realm great cultivators.
So one must admit that relying solely on existing bloodline talents is not safe in this Cultivation Realm.
"I should still work on abnormal resistance and special growth level."
"It’s a pity the original ecology of this valley was directly destroyed by the iron-toothed flying locust legion."
"I need to find another place."
Wang Wu made up his mind; after finishing those iron-toothed flying locusts, he would leave here.
After waiting a while, he exited the Level 7 Passive Concealment status, crawled out of the crevice, and headed straight for the creek to relieve himself. Although it’s not a graceful task, it must be dealt with daily, crucial to his survival.
Luckily, not even a ghost shadow was in the valley; the iron-toothed flying locusts, though gnawing on anything, couldn’t manage the creek.
Lying in the creek, Wang Wu’s body naturally fluctuated with the water flow; within three seconds, he successfully entered Level 7 Concealment status. It was impossible before, now he feels the water seems to resonate with him, becoming one.
About ten minutes later, Wang Wu, feeling refreshed, was ready to leave the creek when suddenly a night owl’s screech came from afar, approaching swiftly.
He was shocked because although night owls screeched at a distance before, this valley had never hosted night owls. Those little red birds aren’t to be underestimated; except for not daring to provoke those two giant eagles and despising the wild chickens, other birds entering their territory would be attacked collectively.
Hundreds of little red birds, their combat power is top-notch.
Who would have thought they would be wiped out by the flying locusts?
Wang Wu, hidden in the creek, didn’t move further, only listened closely, and indeed heard wing flapping sounds, likely numbering a dozen, circling above the cliff.
Oh man, so the Flame Scorpion King family must have been wiped out too.
While Wang Wu was listening, a rustling sound suddenly came from upstream of the valley, quickly reaching the creek and crossing it, hard to tell what little demon it was.
Can’t wait any longer, my food!
Wang Wu, concerned about his iron-toothed flying locusts, immediately crawled silently out of the creek, and next second, he was face to face with a gigantic gray rabbit on the creek bank.
He really didn’t expect a wild rabbit would sneak up silently; the rabbit likely didn’t anticipate a dark figure to emerge suddenly from the creek.
Both were stunned, and then nearly simultaneously made a move.
Wang Wu was thinking of braised rabbit meat, surely he wouldn’t be afraid of a grass-eating rabbit.
Though this guy is nearly the size of a Labrador.
Yet this Labrador rabbit was remarkably brave, immediately using its back legs to leap mid-air, performing a 360-degree rotation, then a heavy pound, forcefully and accurately kicking Wang Wu’s head.
The tremendous force gave him a serious bash, dizzying his head, and making stars dance before his eyes, as if his head was dealt a hard blow with a giant hammer.
For about three to five seconds, he barely crawled up, gurgling, he gulped water through his nose.
When he finally managed to lift his head from the creek, he saw the cunning Labrador rabbit jump back onto the creek bank, watching him with a pair of sly eyes, bearing ill intentions!
"Damn! You...loser..."
"Boom!"
Wang Wu took another heavy pound, a 360-degree sky-and-earth spinning kick.
He couldn’t dodge at all, got smashed into the creek again.
Meanwhile, a few informational lines finally appeared belatedly.
"You are attacked by a rogue rabbit thief."
"Your vital area suffered 76 points of blunt damage, you are forcibly stunned for three seconds; within five seconds, your basic agility is forcibly reduced by 5 points. Due to your 15 points of basic defense, you ultimately took 31 points of damage."
"Your vital area suffered 88 points of blunt damage, you are forcibly stunned for three seconds; within five seconds, your basic agility is forcibly reduced by 5 points. Due to your 15 points of basic defense, you ultimately took 43 points of damage."
"Your Level 6 Healing Talent has been activated..."
