272 It Could Be A Treasure

“Phew!” After letting out a deep breath, Shen Fei slowly opened his eyes. He was in his own mindscape.

“What a strong energy fluctuation I’m feeling. If I fully activate the power of the Thunderous Tribulation of the Nine Heavens, I could have killed the rest of the exotic desert beast horde that had been chasing the wild boar!” A faint smile appeared on Shen Fei’s face.

Those exotic beasts from before were not weak. Some were even low-grade Emperor-rank beasts. It was their misfortune to meet the killing machine, Shen Fei.

With Shen Fei’s current strength, it would not be difficult for him to kill them.

“I wonder what the demonic core of the Yellow-haired Wild Boar is made of? To be able to produce such power, if I’m not wrong, it should be made from some rare material!” Shen Fei muttered to himself.

Thanks to the system, Shen Fei had become quite talented in identifying rare materials. He could even generate unique insights on them, and make accurate conclusions regarding the materials.

Suddenly, Aloy appeared inside his mindscape.

“Shen Fei, the demonic core you harvested will be of great help to your current cultivation. Moreover, since you’ve consumed it, the energy of the demonic core should also appear in your body,” she said.

Hearing this, Shen Fei nodded and said, “I know that this Yellow-haired Wild Boar must have had a powerful energy stored within its body. Otherwise, I would not have required yours and our spirit beasts’ assistance to take it down.”

“It’s good that you understand!” Aloy said indifferently, “You mustn’t waste this energy. If you have this energy, it will be even easier for you to break through to the next tier.”

Shen Fei nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t waste this opportunity. I’m working on absorbing all the energy in the demonic core.”

“Alright, that’s good.” Aloy nodded and said, “You may have swallowed a demonic core, but it’ll still take some time to completely absorb and refine it. While we’re still safe, you should take advantage of this time to refine the demonic core energy!”

After saying that, Aloy disappeared from Shen Fei’s mindscape.

“Sigh!” Shen Fei sighed.

The huge amount of energy contained in the demonic core was massive. If he could successfully make use of it, his strength would definitely improve!

Suddenly, a strong force appeared around Shen Fei. Then, a ball of yellow liquid was formed—condensed from the energy that bled into his mindscape—and Shen Fei sucked into his mouth.

To Shen Fei, the demonic core of a Yellow-haired Wild Boar is a treasure. But Shen Fei did not refine it, instead, he converted the energy of the demonic core into Qi in his body and continuously refined his body.

Under such tempering, Shen Fei could feel his body’s strength gradually increase. As time passed, Shen Fei finally absorbed all the energy from the demonic core.

After Shen Fei converted the energy of the demonic core, he felt as if he had an endless amount of Qi. As his Qi increased, his body also began to slowly transform.

In just a few moments, Shen Fei felt that his body was no longer under his control, like it could break apart at any time.

‘Just as I expected, the energy from the demonic core is too great. It also contains a small breath from the core energy of the world!’ Shen Fei thought to himself.

Although the core energy of the world was extremely thin here—almost non-existent—for the demonic core of the Yellow-haired Wild Boar to actually contain a trace of it… To Shen Fei, this was an extremely rare treasure!

Boom… Rumble!

A sudden thunderclap echoed, and the entire valley shook.

“What’s going on?” Shen Fei’s face suddenly changed.

He realized that something must have happened for this sudden tremor to occur. Moreover, the scale of the tremor, it seemed that some strange phenomenon was spreading toward the nearby mountain range!

Shen Fei left his mindscape and regained full control of his body. He flew straight toward the mountain range. Aloy was not far behind.

“Roarrrr…” A series of roars then came to his ears.

“What’s that sound?” Shen Fei frowned.

He had heard these sounds, and felt danger approaching. However, when he arrived near the mountain range, he could not find anything strange at all, which made him feel very suspicious.

“Roar!” Another thunderous sound came to his ears, and Shen Fei’s expression changed. This time, it was not just one exotic beast, but the roars of a dozen!

The auras emitted by the dozen or so beasts showed that they had all reached the peak of the Emperor rank, and there were even two higher Emperor-rank beasts among them!

These exotic beasts had obviously sensed the presence of humans here, so they appeared one after another.

Shen Fei then finally understood. These exotic beasts had hunted and accumulated too much energy, and stored it in their bodies. When their bodies became overstuffed with energy, like an airtight vessel, they would explode. And that was what caused the tremors!

At this moment, Aloy said, “Shen Fei, those exotic beasts seem to have sensed something, and they’re rushing to you!”

There was a hint of anxiety and worry in her voice because she could clearly feel it as well.

Shen Fei’s current state seemed dire. Furthermore, Shen Fei’s body was filled with berserk energy himself, causing his soul to tremble.

Shen Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly. With a slight movement, he disappeared from his spot. He moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had flown hundreds of meters away, hiding in the depths of a dense forest. Aloy appeared beside him soon after.

This was a small mountain range, and the dense trees blocked Shen Fei’s view, making him unable to see the outside scenery. However, Shen Fei relied on his extremely powerful Qi to cover an area radius of several dozen kilometers with his sensing abilities.

At this moment, a few kilometers away from him, there were a few exotic beasts that were rapidly approaching in the direction he was hiding. Two of the beasts were covered in golden scales and wielded sharp weapons.

“Those are Golden-horned Crocodiles!” Aloy exclaimed.

Shen Fei nodded, his face revealing a serious expression.

“Roar!” a Golden-horned Crocodile roared in rage, its sharp claws viciously clawing through the ground. A few trenches appeared on the ground from its movement, and it stomped on the ground, creating a giant pit.

The rest of the exotic beasts kept brandishing their sharp weapons, frantically attacking everything around them.

These Golden-horned Crocodiles were all high Emperor-rank beasts. Furthermore, their defensive abilities were extremely good.
