7: Chapter 7 Slaying Monsters
"Talk about someone bringing a pillow right when you're sleepy; well done!"
Chi Anlin couldn't wait to use the appraisal function on these few demonic beasts.
【Name】: Ice Spirit Wolf
【Attribute】: Ice
【Level】: None
【Potential】: Mortal Rank high-grade
This was a wolf cub that Father Chi had caught from another dimension; it hadn't yet entered the realm of cultivation, making it very easy for someone to bind it.
Demonic beasts raised from a young age are less prone to backlash and are easier to bind. Father Chi had previously bought several demonic beast cubs for Chi Anlin to bind, but they all failed. A large part of the reason was that these cubs had been forcibly taken away from their parents, or their parents had been killed outright.
But this Ice Spirit Wolf was different. When Father Chi found it, it had already been abandoned by its mother. Its body was extremely weak; if he hadn't picked it up, it might have already turned into dung for other demonic beasts.
As for the reason it was abandoned, it might have been due to a mutation, a weaker constitution, or the fact that its fur color made it difficult to survive, among other reasons...
That other dimension was basically filled with fire-type demonic beasts.
So, all these reasons combined led to this wolf cub being more affectionate towards people and having no hatred towards humans.
In fact, even if the wolf cub wasn't affectionate, it wouldn't matter; the synthesis system could save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Chi Anlin looked at the few demonic beasts on the other side.
These demonic beasts were all in a low-health state; Father Chi had specifically brought them back for Chi Anlin to practice his courage.
Given Chi Anlin's strength, a solo kill was definitely impossible.
【Name】: Fire Stone Rat
【Attribute】: Fire
【Level】: Mortal Rank Third Stage
【Potential】: Mortal Rank low-grade
【Name】: Flame Bird
【Attribute】: Fire
【Level】: Mortal Grade Second Stage
【Potential】: Mortal Rank low-grade
【Name】: Flame Fire Tiger
【Attribute】: Fire
【Level】: Mortal Grade Second Stage
【Potential】: Mortal Rank low-grade
【Name】: Fire Scorching Pig
【Attribute】: Fire
【Level】: Mortal Rank Fourth Stage
【Potential】: mortal rank mid-grade
These were all low-level demonic beasts. Most people in the class were at the third or fourth stage of the Mortal Rank, and currently, only the class monitor had reached the fifth stage, so the demonic beasts in the military training area wouldn't have very high strength.
"I originally wanted to catch you a fire-type demonic beast, which is why I traveled so far, but fire-type demonic beasts are too prone to backlash, so in the end, I decided on this wolf cub. You can try to bind it first, and if that doesn't work, then you can try to build a relationship."
"I also have a piece of Ice Crystal here; this was originally a material for crafting weapons, but to ensure you have an aura that the Ice Spirit Wolf feels close to, you can wear it as a pendant for a while."
After saying this, Father Chi took a white jade stone radiating cold air out of his pocket and tossed it to Chi Anlin, then took out a small knife.
"To test your courage, of course, it's impossible to use those long weapons; you must have close contact with these demonic beasts." Chi Xingfei placed the knife handle into Chi Anlin's palm, and Chi Anlin nodded thoughtfully, then gripped it firmly.
Although he might not be quite used to it, this was a lesson he would have to face sooner or later. After all, this wasn't a peaceful era; being too saintly wouldn't let you live past a few episodes.
"That's not how you hold a knife." Chi Xingfei frowned and flipped the handle over, with the tip pointing downwards.
"This method of holding a knife is called the Ice Pick Style; it uses more strength. Do you know why?" Father Chi looked straight at Chi Anlin, and Chi Anlin frowned and thought for a while, then gave up directly and opened his phone to search.
"Dad, Baidu says it's because of the Shang Yang Reform."
Father Chi: ...
"The main attack methods used in the Ice Pick Style are horizontal swipes and downward smashes. The force application is more ergonomic, the explosive power is stronger, it's less likely to slip, and most importantly, it's more concealed."
Chi Xingfei sighed and sternly supplemented a lot of knowledge in this area for Chi Anlin.
Half an hour later, Chi Anlin gripped the knife again and walked towards the Flame Bird, which had the lowest strength.
At least he had killed chickens before, so killing a bird shouldn't cause too much psychological burden. As for the tiger, he would kill it last; it was a bit intimidating.
The Flame Bird raised its head to look at Chi Anlin, its eyes full of hatred, but because its whole body was hog-tied with special ropes, it couldn't even make a struggling movement.
"Amitabha, if possible, I really wish I could let the Queen Ant help me kill the bird." Chi Anlin muttered in his heart, then closed his eyes and stabbed at the Flame Bird's neck.
Puchi!!
He wanted to give this guy a quick death, but he didn't expect that the place he stabbed would bleed so much. Blood spurted out violently, drenching Chi Anlin like a drowned rat.
【Killed Mortal Grade Second Stage demonic beast Flame Bird, obtained 150 points of blood energy】
The smell of blood made Chi Anlin feel a little uncomfortable. He frowned slightly, and adrenaline flooded his system, making his whole body tremble involuntarily. (Excitement can cause adrenaline secretion)
Taking advantage of this momentum, Chi Anlin walked tremblingly to the other cages and finished off the other demonic beasts one by one.
【Killed Mortal Grade Second Stage demonic beast Flame Fire Tiger, obtained 250 points of blood energy】
【Killed Mortal Rank Third Stage demonic beast Fire Stone Rat, obtained 400 points of blood energy】
【Killed Mortal Rank Fourth Stage demonic beast Fire Scorching Pig, obtained 800 points of blood energy】
One system notification after another washed away the discomfort in Chi Anlin's heart. A sense of joy welled up, making him want to shout out loud.
With this experience, not only could he let the Queen Ant undergo Fusion again, but he could also fuse the little wolf cub.
"Not bad, but a bit disgusting." Chi Xingfei nodded. He had originally thought that given Chi Anlin's personality, he wouldn't dare to take action, but he didn't expect him to finish off these demonic beasts so quickly.
"But if you were in the wild, you would need to wash off the bloodstains on your body immediately, otherwise, it might attract other demonic beasts."
"Alright, now that you have the courage to kill demonic beasts, I can rest easy. At least you won't be scared out of your wits and wait for death on the spot when you encounter a demonic beast."
...
After handing everything over to Chi Anlin, Chi Xingfei left again. He was a very busy person; apart from sending money to Chi Anlin every month, he basically didn't have any contact with him.
Besides the previous items, Chi Xingfei also gave Chi Anlin a beast taming pouch, which could hold three demonic beasts. This thing was quite expensive, which could be seen from Chi Xingfei's pained expression at the time.
After washing the bloodstains off his body, Chi Anlin brought the Ice Spirit Wolf back to his room.
"Ding, do you want to perform Fusion on 【Iron Fierce Ant Queen】 and 【Spirit Quenching Pill】?"
"Yes."
【Fusion started, remaining Fusion time 3 hours】
The Queen Ant was once again wrapped in a blood cocoon, and Chi Anlin breathed a sigh of relief. The issue of blood energy had been resolved; next was to prepare to bind the Ice Spirit Wolf.
Chi Anlin looked at the Ice Crystal. The Ice Spirit Wolf was ice-attributed, so it should be quite compatible with this thing, and the Fusion probability would be much higher.
【Appraisal】
【Name】: Ice Crystal
【Quality】: Yellow Rank low-grade
【Introduction】: Ice-attribute artifact refining material; keeping it close to the body can improve physique and nourish the mind.
Heavens, Yellow Rank low-grade. Chi Anlin sighed; the blood energy required for this was an astronomical figure for him right now.
No, I still want to try.
"Ding, do you want to perform Fusion on 【Ice Spirit Wolf】 and 【Ice Crystal】?"
Required blood energy: 15000
Fusion success rate: 10%
Hmm, the Ice Spirit Wolf's level is too low; the success rate for forced Fusion will also be very low.
