In the silent mountain forest, a figure appeared, waving a big knife in his hand, and occasionally pushing aside the vines and grass blocking the road.
This person is naturally Shen Xiu who is heading east.
For several days, Shen Xiu was no longer the same as when he stepped into the forest that day.
The clothes all over his body were dirty because they had not been washed for a long time. They were stained with unknown broken fingers and leaves, as well as different shades of mud and dust.
Even his heroic face was a little gray, and his original appearance could not be seen. The only thing that remained unchanged was his calm and shining eyes.
Along the way, the environment changed somewhat. He didn't encounter any advanced monsters, but he encountered quite a few ferocious beasts that wanted to use him as food.
But the end result was the same. The prey was not caught, and instead he became the food for Shen Xiu and Jin Chan.
It's just that the meat of these beasts is of little use and is used as nourishment. Jin Chan's satiety level still remains at 7.6% during his constant killing during this journey.
Compared with before, this progress can be said to be as slow as a snail.
Thinking back after Jin Chan's first transformation, the blood energy of a first-order monster beast could almost replenish Jin Chan's satiety by about 10%.
And now.
I passed by a mountain col not long ago and killed a lone black demon bear. All of them were eaten by Jin Chan, which only increased the satiety by more than 2%.
Energy replenishment under the same food changes from one transformation to the second transformation. As a result, the increase in satiety value requires several times the energy increase.
At this rate, he still doesn't know when he can fill up the satiety level of Jin Chan's third transformation and develop his third talent in the outer forests of the Dawu Mountains where he wants to stay.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiu finally decided to feed the white python's demon elixir to Jin Chan. After all, it had not been refined yet and he could not fully utilize it at this time.
It would be better to let the golden cicada devour it for the greatest benefit.
But before that, he had to find a good place first.
In the dense forest, he continued walking for a while, and he vaguely heard the sound of running water nearby. He immediately ran following the sound, and not far away, he saw a gurgling stream.
Shen Xiu looked surprised when he saw this water flow.
He hadn't found a big source of water in the past two days, and he felt like he had a strange smell all over his body.
So he glanced around and ran over quickly, took a few sips, and then planned to wash his somewhat darkened face.
But before he picked it up, Chen Xiu's eyes moved.
Turn around suddenly.
Suddenly, he spotted a black tiger with a wide mouth and cold eyes creeping over from the grass on one side. At this moment, he was discovered and pounced on the spot.
What a big tiger.
Shen Xiu's figure turned slightly to one side and suddenly punched the tiger's neck.
The tiger was immediately thrown away by the hammer, hit a large tree as thick as a bucket, and then hit the ground.
Black Tiger shook his dizzy head, then bared his teeth and rushed towards the human in front of him.
The evening meal was immediately available.
Shen Xiu jumped up with a vigorous stride, straddling the black tiger's back, and then punched it to death with several punches. After breathing down its life, he carried the body on his back and walked up the stream.
With this stream, there must be a large water source on it.
As we walked, the sound of flowing water became louder and louder. After walking for several miles, the sound of flowing water gradually became deafening, and a huge roar rushed into the eardrums.
After walking around the jungle, Chen Xiu saw a waterfall pool nearly 100 meters long.
This place looked good. After Shen Xiu took care of the tiger under the waterfall, he gathered firewood nearby and made a fire to roast it and have a feast on the spot.
After resting for a while, he took out the white python's round and green demon pill.
The diameter of this demon pill is only about the size of your thumb. Just holding it with your hands, you can faintly feel the surging energy in it.
As if aware of Shen Xiu's thoughts, the golden cicada in the dantian of his abdomen began to tremble faintly.
Chen Xiu did not hesitate and released it. The jade-white golden cicada turned into a stream of light and appeared, flying out of thin air, hanging in the air in front of him, swaying around the demon pill on his finger.
It seems that he also likes this demon pill very much.
Such Shen Xiu no longer hesitated and let go of his palm, fully displaying the round and green demonic elixir.
The golden cicada flew into the palm with a swish, lay down on the demon pill, opened its small mouth, and wrapped the demon pill bit by bit.
Chen Xiu saw that Jin Chanfeng was about the same size as the demon-free pill, and he didn't know how he swallowed it.
He added his own guess to the information he got from Bai Python's mouth before.
If this Nine-Transformation Golden Cicada is really a variant of the ancient Six-winged Golden Cicada, then when it undergoes its third transformation, it will undergo unpredictable changes.
So, the moment Chen Xiu took out the demon pill, he stared intently at every move of Jin Chan who was devouring the demon pill.
Immediately after Jin Chan swallowed the demon pill, Jin Chan's entire jade-white body suddenly paused, and then his whole body trembled slightly, as if he was bearing the majestic energy of the demon pill.
Chen Xiu could see with his naked eyes that the demon pill was exploding with infinite energy in Jin Chan's translucent belly.
Wisps of bright light were peeled off from the shining demon pill, and then seeped into Jin Chan's body bit by bit.
As time goes by, the frequency of the golden cicada's trembling becomes lower and lower, and the light released by the demon pill becomes darker and darker, and directly becomes smaller and smaller.
In the end, everything tends to calm down, and Jin Chan is no different from before.
Seeing this, Chen Xiu felt a little shocked.
He thought that with the white python's demon pill, not to mention improving the progress two or three times, one improvement should be almost enough.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that it has not yet undergone its third transformation.
Even the appearance hasn't changed much.
However, under Shen Xiu's careful observation, he discovered that there were tiny golden short lines on the edges on both sides of the golden cicada that had never been seen before.
Is this going to transform into wings?
With a thought in his mind, Chen Xiu opened the panel and saw that the satiety value behind the Nine Transformations Golden Cicada had soared to 93.2%.
It's still a little bit off, but it's not that big of a difference.
If we stay in Dawu Mountain for a while, we should be able to make up for it soon.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Shen Xiu was looking for monsters in the mountains and forests.
However, this mountain forest is so large, the frequency of monster beasts that appears is not comparable to that around Yangjia Town, and more of them are some low-level beasts that appear from time to time.
In this period of time alone, Shen Xiu had killed two white tigers, a rock snake, and a blind bear.
The only high-level monsters I encountered were two low-level rat monsters. They tried to kill him, but were killed by him. The end result was that they became the golden cicada's rations, which increased their poor satiety by less than 3%.
Shen Xiu continued eastward, planning to change to another area.
