Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 510: The Sneaky Fierce Beast

After calming down his emotions, Xu Yi got up and began practicing the Body Refining Technique.

Since he decided not to use the potion now, he might as well pretend it never appeared.

After finishing the Body Refining Technique, Xu Yi walked out of the tent.

The others hadn’t come out; they were all desperately training, not willing to waste a single moment.

Neither the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening nor the Qin Family Spear Technique seemed appealing—they only wanted to focus entirely on training.

Xu Yi took out the leftover level 5 Fierce Beast meat from yesterday, made a big pot of stew, and then sent Lightning to patrol nearby. If it found a level 5 Fierce Beast, it should immediately return to inform him.

After all, with its speed, escaping is not a problem.

Once the stew was ready, Xu Yi ate until he was full before calling everyone for breakfast. This way, the temperature of the meat soup was just right, saving them some time.

After eating, Xu Yi trained outside the camp, waiting for news from Lightning.

Unfortunately, a day passed, and Lightning didn’t come back with any news.

Xu Yi instructed Lightning to patrol within a 5-kilometer radius; too far away, and he wouldn’t be able to reach in time.

Time flows like water, and the years pass like a shuttle.

Time flew by, and soon five days had passed.

In these five days, Lightning hadn’t discovered any level 5 Fierce Beasts.

Every day, Xu Yi and his team moved their camp forward.

After all, only by doing so would their progress be more apparent.

Now, everyone in Xu Yi’s team had reached the peak of level 4.

But none of them had broken through to level 5.

Other teams had three people who entered the territory of level 5 Fierce Beasts. Just half an hour ago, they had just entered.

They were Lei Jie, Li Kang, and Jerry.

Lei Jie was the first to enter, followed by Li Kang and Jerry, who was only five minutes behind.

"I wonder how Xu Yi and his team can be so strong; they must be over 10 kilometers ahead of us, right?" Li Kang couldn’t help but say to Jerry beside him.

"There’s no helping it; he’s a Divine Master; the gap is inherent. If we could eat level 5 Fierce Beast meat, we shouldn’t be worse off than them, right?" Jerry said, a bit unconvinced.

Li Kang nodded; they hadn’t eaten any level 5 Fierce Beast meat, only some level 4 peak Fierce Beast meat a few days ago.

If not for the three of them working together, they wouldn’t have been able to take down that level 4 peak Fierce Beast.

Lei Jie stopped after walking a hundred meters; he didn’t dare to advance rashly.

The aura of a level 5 Fierce Beast was terrifying; he had deep impressions of it and didn’t plan to venture further.

Moreover, training here was already sufficient.

Reaching level 5, Lei Jie knew the chance was slim.

After all, today was already the 196th day, only four days remain until the 200th day.

And they still needed to return to human society for a trip, so they could at most train for three days.

Three days to break through to level 5 Mage, Lei Jie thought it required a stroke of luck.

After Lei Jie sat down, Li Kang and Jerry arrived.

The two exchanged glances, then continued to walk forward.

To surpass Lei Jie, they could only rely on adventure.

Of course, they did not dare go too far; after about 50 meters, the two sat down. They took out their weapons and immediately started training.

Xu Yi and his team continued to push forward when suddenly Xu Yi heard Lightning’s fierce call.

"Lightning was attacked; look at the situation and retreat." With that, Xu Yi flew out directly, opening the map from the Star Chart. After all, Lightning also had a Star Chart.

The distance wasn’t far, only 3,000 meters.

A few minutes later, Xu Yi saw a level 5 Fierce Beast.

"What the heck, is this a dog?"

"That’s right, it’s a dog with scaly skin; who would have thought it’s level 5?"

"Can it be tamed, get a hunter... never mind, this thing ain’t a dog, it’s a mutant..."

A long tongue over a meter long shot out of its mouth, preparing to coil and sweep Lightning, which was immobilized, into its giant mouth that was wider than its head.

Xu Yi’s spear shot directly towards the canine Fierce Beast.

However, before it could get close, it was controlled by the Beast’s telekinesis and sent shooting back again.

But Xu Yi resolved Lightning’s crisis, allowing it a chance to escape the opponent’s control.

Lightning, having broken free, instantly dashed behind Xu Yi.

The Fierce Beast let out a roar, and a wave of telekinesis surged towards Xu Yi.

Xu Yi’s machete appeared in his hand, slashing into the void, breaking through the telekinetic attack from the Fierce Beast.

Then Xu Yi’s spiritual power continuously condensed into fists, smashing towards the canine Fierce Beast, forcing it to retreat.

A level 5 Xu Yi, dealing with a level 5 Fierce Beast, was not the same as before.

Although this didn’t harm the Fierce Beast, it could exhaust its telekinetic power.

In half an hour, Xu Yi decided to end the battle.

Ending it in a short time was impossible; level 5 Fierce Beasts are very formidable. If Xu Yi can finish in half an hour, it would already be impressive.

The Fierce Beast kept maintaining a distance of over 50 meters from Xu Yi, which made Xu Yi rather frustrated.

From such a distance, his skills couldn’t hit the opponent at all.

Unfortunately, this Fierce Beast was too cunning.

At this range, if it truly found itself unable to resist Xu Yi, it could simply turntail and escape.

meters was enough for it to flee.

"Who needs weapons at all, their spiritual power and telekinesis are the best weapons. Plus, it’s all long-range output."

"This feels a bit like an inner strength contest, whoever’s inner strength’s stronger ends up laughing last."

"Isn’t there any skill at all?"

"Skills, the ones that glow? Those do look cool, just like video game moves."

Xu Yi also wanted to use his skills.

Actually, he already had.

The Spirit Blade, this skill, he could finally use after breaking through to level 5.

Unfortunately, I’ve missed twice.

Otherwise, Xu Yi thought this skill would have been highly effective.

Regrettably, this Fierce Beast was too afraid of death.

Xu Yi continually pressed closer, and it continually retreated.

So, Xu Yi slightly changed his tactics, standing still while continually attacking while repeatedly casting Binding Skills.

If it got hit just once, Xu Yi could quickly close in and then use the Spirit Blade.

Unfortunately, not a single skill took effect.

Time passed little by little, with more and more trees falling, but nothing remarkable occurred.

"Lots of noise from the battle, feels like many big trees are falling," Qin Fan looked into the depths of the forest; their location was less than 2,000 meters from Xu Yi’s place. Their hearing was enhanced, so they could still hear some sounds.

"Yeah, I wish to break through to level 5 sooner and go take a look," Wang Jin stared at the sky curiously; she felt Xu Yi might be fighting a level 5 Fierce Beast in the air.

Wang Jin was not the only one with such thoughts.

Unfortunately, none of them dared to venture ahead.

Worried that if they went, they’d cause trouble for Xu Yi and end up being resented.
