68 Encountering Enemies
However, Xiao Shi had yet to come into contact with a Qi Martial Realm martial artist. He only had a vague idea of the strength of a Qi Martial Realm martial artist and did not know the exact level.
Still, he thought that with his current strength, even if he was not a match, he could still survive.
“Then after this operation ends, I can find the Qi Martial Realm cultivators of the evil forces around Golden Cloud City and give it a try.”
Xiao Shi made a decision. If he wanted to obtain a Qi Martial-level item, he could only start from these Qi Martial Realm martial artists.
If he only blindly killed Martial Entry-Level martial artists (evil spirits) to drop Qi Martial-Level items, on the one hand, he would need to kill too many of them. On the other hand, he would not drop many Qi Martial-Level items.
After making a decision, Xiao Shi took out a Martial Entry-Level natural treasure from his storage bag.
Currently, he has several Martial Entry-Level heavenly treasures. They were all gains from killing evil spirits during this period of time.
Although Martial Entry-Level heavenly treasures were no longer of much use to him, Xiao Shi was still prepared to give it a try. In any case, it would be collecting dust in his storage bag if he kept it.
It was not easy to sell. After all, with the special and precious nature of heavenly treasures, if they were sold, it would definitely cause a commotion. At that time, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Xiao Shi planned to cultivate the Vajra Skin with Martial Entry-Level heavenly treasures first. He held the heavenly treasure in his hands tightly.
According to the cultivation method of the Vajra Skin, he refined the heavenly treasure in his hand into a liquid-like substance. It flowed on his body and was quickly absorbed by his skin. Immediately, an imperceptible golden light flashed across Xiao Shi’s skin. It was extremely weak.
He sensed it carefully.
As expected, the improvement was very small, but it was better than nothing. He immediately refined the other Martial Entry-Level heavenly treasures in his hands for the cultivation of the Vajra Skin.
No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat.
… .
At night.
Xiao Shi and the others continued to eliminate the evil spirits.
Now that he did not have the chance to kill a Qi Martial Realm martial artist, Xiao Shi could only kill the evil spirits to drop a second Qi Martial-level item.
He could not help but recall that he had killed thousands of Piebald Worms before dropping a second Martial Entry-Level item.
If it was the same pattern, then, he would have to kill a lot of evil spirits.
However, Xiao Shi thought about it seriously. He felt that there might not be a need for so much. After all, mortal creatures were not like the Martial Entry-Level, where there were nine levels.
For example, killing a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist would make it easier for high-quality items to drop.
“If I killed Martial Entry-Level 1 and 2, I might have to kill thousands of them before a second Qi Martial-Level item would drop. But if I kill someone at the eighth or ninth level of the Martial Entry-Level, perhaps I only need to kill a few hundred to obtain a second Qi Martial-level item!”
Xiao Shi felt that if his guess was true, the drop of the second Qi Martial-level item was not that far away.
He began to slaughter these evil spirits through the Warrior Puppet. He wanted to drop a Qi Martial-level item as soon as possible.
Two days later.
On the way back to the camp, Xiao Shi fell into deep thought.
Now, under the constant attacks of their night patrollers, the surrounding evil spirits were already effectively controlled. There were fewer and fewer of them.
Xiao Shi thought that the operation to eliminate the evil spirits should be over soon. Then, he could eliminate the evil forces around Golden Cloud City according to the original plan.
“Let’s strive to be able to drop a second Qi Martial-level item before the operation ends.” Xiao Shi thought to himself.
Although there would still be Martial Entry-Level Eight and Level Nine martial artists who could be killed in the future, there were clearly not as many evil spirits in terms of numbers.
After his recent killings, he had killed more than two to three hundred evil spirits in total. However, among so many evil spirits, not all of them were equivalent to evil spirits at the eighth or ninth level of the Martial Entry-Level.
If he wanted to drop a second Qi Martial-level item, he had to kill more.
As he was thinking, Xiao Shi’s heart tightened, and his body tensed up. Goosebumps appeared all over his body. His heart was beating wildly. An incomparably intense fear rose in his heart. He felt a gaze staring at him from afar.
He knew very well that with his current strength and cultivation, someone who could give him such a feeling with just a gaze was definitely an existence above the Martial Entry-Level.
There was no hesitation. Xiao Shi took out the [Mist Column] and released a lot of fog, instantly covering the area he was in.
At the same time, on an advanced slope thousands of meters away from Xiao Shi, the black-robed leader, who was wearing a black robe and a mask, narrowed his eyes. “Not bad perceptivity.”
He did not expect the other party to sense his existence when he had only looked at him from afar. This made him even more certain that this fellow who appeared to be only at the fifth level of the Martial Entry-Level was a hidden person.
If not for the aura left behind by the deputy leader after his death, he would never have thought that there was actually such a powerhouse hidden among the night patrollers of Team D.
“Although this person hid it very well, he doesn’t seem to be at the Qi Martial Realm.” The leader of the black-robed men pondered.
It was very difficult to disguise as a Martial Entry-Level cultivator at the Qi Martial Realm. If this person was at the Qi Martial Realm, he could tell at a glance. But now, through his observation, he felt that this person was more like the Martial Entry-Level.
“If he’s not at the Qi Martial Realm… then how did he kill the deputy leader?” The leader of the black-robed men was puzzled.
In his opinion, with the deputy leader’s Blood Qi Shadow Transformation realm, no one in the Martial Entry-Level should be able to kill him.
“That’s interesting.”
He suddenly had a strong interest in this hidden night patroller.
At this moment, he moved. He sped straight towards the area covered in fog.
In the fog, Wang Luo and the others looked at the mist that spread around them in a daze.
Now, they were not unfamiliar with this fog and knew that this was the method of that mysterious expert. However, in the past, that mysterious expert would only release this fog when he left. Why would he release this fog for no reason now?
Just as they were confused, a howl suddenly sounded from the fog. Under this howl, their consciousnesses were all in a daze.
Xiao Shi moved. He quickly left this place. He knew that the enemy this time was extraordinary. In order to avoid accidentally injuring the others, he decided to change the battlefield.
The further away from them, the better.
He ran all the way.
Xiao Shi rushed out of the area enveloped by the fog. He did not want to use this fog to deal with the other party. This fog could be used to deal with Martial Entry-Level martial artists, but it was useless against experts above the Martial Entry-Level.
As expected.
...
The figure that rushed into the fog pierced through the fog and focused on Xiao Shi before chasing after him.
