Within the Fallen Wind Mountain Range, there were towering trees everywhere, and it was a scene of primal beauty. There was not a single person within the trees, as if they were isolated from the world.

In the forest, a youth slowly walked through the dense forest, his upper body bare and still stained with traces of blood.

"Roar!"

All of a sudden, a giant tiger the size of a house pounced over, opening its jaws wide as it bit towards the youth's throat.

"Humph!"

The youth continued to face danger with a cold glint in his eyes. He struck out a palm to meet the tiger head on.

Three Spirit River s lit up on his body and gathered their power into his palm. With one palm, he smashed the giant tiger's skull to pieces.

The huge tiger howled in pain as its huge body crashed to the ground, dead.

"Another Mundane Stage Initial Phase?"

This youth was naturally Xiao Yu. He looked at the dead giant tiger and slightly frowned.

The Odd Beast s were divided into three ranks: Common, Spirit and King. The lower, middle, and upper ranks were also divided into three ranks.

However, what was different from cultivators was that Odd Beast of the same rank had a huge difference in strength at different ranks. A Common Rank Mid Grade Odd Beast's strength was already close to that of a transformation realm expert, and if it was a Common Tier High Rank Odd Beast, even cultivators with Qi-transforming Stage might not be its match.

As for Spirit Ranked Odd Beast, their strength was at least comparable to someone with Hidden Void Stage, so they were extremely terrifying.

"If I can find one Common Rank Mid Grade Odd Beast, I might be able to condense a fourth!"

There were many places on the Odd Beast's body that were very valuable, such as beast meat that could be used by cultivators as a tonic. The Beast Element s in the Odd Beast's body were also extremely valuable, and many cultivators would usually hunt Odd Beast to exchange for crystals.

However, Xiao Yu did not spare a glance at the gigantic tiger, and stepped forward to leave.

"It's already the third day, yet we haven't even seen a single Odd Beast with Common Rank Mid Grade." Walking in the dense forest, Xiao Yu's mood was somewhat gloomy.

It had already been three days since he entered the Fallen Wind Mountain Range. Although he had seen quite a few Odd Beast s these past few days, they were all Common Rank Lower Grade Odd Beast s.

The strength of Odd Beast at this level was equivalent to someone at the first to eighth cycles of Spirit Origin Stage. The difference was huge, but it was not a threat to him.

In just three short days, Xiao Yu had killed at least fifty Odd Beast. He did not even know how many of their clothes he had torn off during the massacre, which was why he was completely naked.

"Although my cultivation has not broken through, my strength seems to have increased a bit."

Xiao Yu could not help but sigh. Even if he had the memories of his previous life, this kind of blood-soaked killing came from a baptism of life and death, and was the fastest way for one to improve.

"It's a pity, even though there are few traces of people inside the mountain, Odd Beast s are everywhere, and many precious medicines have already been obtained by the Odd Beast. It's too difficult to find medicine above the third rank, and most of them have already been discovered by the Odd Beast, standing on the side to guard."

The three days in Fallen Wind Mountain Range had also allowed Xiao Yu to understand quite a few things.

Although there were wild spirit medicines in the mountains, Odd Beast knew of their value as well. Even if they did not pick them immediately, they would still stand guard by the side, waiting for them to mature.

This also caused Xiao Yu's plan of finding spirit medicine to fail, and he had no choice but to think of other ways to raise his strength.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yu heard some movement in front, as though someone was fighting in front.

He immediately sped up and rushed forward.

As he walked forward, his voice gradually became softer, and he could faintly hear a few miserable cries sounding from within.

When they were close to each other, Xiao Yu looked forward and his eyes immediately turned cold.

In front of them, a few figures lay in pools of blood, their bodies covered in blood. There were five of them, and next to them, a black spider the size of a millstone was absorbing the brains of the dead.

"Bastard, it's you!"

These past few days, Xiao Yu had been searching for the Common Rank Mid Grade Odd Beast, and this spider belonged to this category.

Seeing how cruel this spider was, he coldly snorted and activated his fastest speed. At the same time, he also channeled the power of the Spirit River. His right index finger lit up and used his finger as a blade to stab towards the black spider.

"Hiss hiss!"

The black spider released an ear-piercing cry, its eyes revealing a vicious light. A spiders leg that was like a spear quickly extended out, sweeping across Xiao Yu.

"Such powerful strength!" Xiao Yu was in mid air and could only raise his hand to block. After getting hit by the spider leg, he felt as if he had been struck by a mountain.

The black spider's rank was indeed Common Rank Mid Grade, but after this attack, Xiao Yu gained a deeper understanding of its strength. This black spider's strength was already around the same as a person who had just entered the Qi-transforming Stage!

"Hiss hiss!"

The black spider seemed to be furious at being disturbed by Xiao Yu, as it continuously cried out unpleasant sounds. At the same time, it moved swiftly, thrusting its thick and long spider leg at Xiao Yu once again.

"Humph!" Xiao Yu knew how powerful this spider was and immediately dodged. He didn't want to clash with it head on.

He performed a strange footwork technique. His figure moved swiftly, moving from east to west, and moving swiftly around the black spider like a ghost.

This kind of footwork was called the Shadowstrike Steps, and could move at high speeds within a certain range, it belonged to the Grandmaster Level and Battle Spell.

Although Xiao Yu had a lot of higher level Battle Spell in his mind, but it was limited to power, and could only release Battle Spell of this level at the most. Even higher level Battle Spell required a stronger physique, and with his strength, he was still unable to use it, otherwise his body would not be able to take it and directly tear itself apart!

"The strength of this spider is comparable to Qi-transforming Stage, try and see if I can kill it!"

As Xiao Yu moved at a high speed, he thought about how to deal with the black spider.

Although the black spider was powerful, as long as he activated the Dragon Transformation skill, he could kill it easily. However, Xiao Yu was not anxious, he planned on using other methods to kill it.

The black spider was unable to catch Xiao Yu after a long time, and gradually became irritable.

Even though it had powerful strength, Xiao Yu's speed was too fast, and was basically not close to it. It was also unable to do anything to Xiao Yu.

Just at this time, Xiao Yu took advantage of the black spider's berserk chance and used his Shadowstrike Steps to the extreme, arriving right in front of the black spider in a flash.

His finger shone as he stabbed toward the left eye of the black spider with his finger as a blade.

"Hiss hiss!"

Although the black spider was powerful, its speed was not fast. Speeding up was an extremely weak point of the spider, which had one eye blinded by Xiao Yu's finger.

It let out an ear-piercing screech in anger, appearing even more berserk. Its eight spider legs waved about randomly, creating huge craters in the ground and causing smoke and dust to billow everywhere.

Xiao Yu succeeded with one blow and retreated backwards, not wanting to fight with the crazy spider head on.

After stabbing randomly for a while, the black spider seemed to realize that it was unfavorable for it to lose one of its eyes. It suddenly turned around and sped off at an extremely fast speed.

"Trying to run?" Seeing that, Xiao Yu immediately used his body to catch up.

The black spider had its heart set on leaving, and Xiao Yu easily leapt onto its head. Although it was extremely irritable, the top of its head was its weakness, and the bead leg could not reach its head.

Xiao Yu once again used the Broken Dragon Finger, thrusting a few dozen fingers in a row, pointing towards the black spider's head.

"Hiss hiss!"

The black spider continued to let out frantic cries. In the end, it could no longer hold on and crashed onto the ground, swallowing.

"Although this spider is powerful, it's still a Common Stage Odd Beast after all. Its intelligence is not high, and it's only because it's determined to escape that I'll be able to catch it. If it's someone else with the same strength, I won't be able to kill him without using the Dragon Summoning Talisman!"

Xiao Yu was not complacent after killing the spider, because it knew that it had won luckily.

"With this Common Rank Mid Grade, I can finally condense a fourth Spirit River!"

He bent down and struck the spider one last time, completely ending its life. Then, he lifted the spider's body and left.
