All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 262 Harvest Departure
The sky gradually cleared, and the sunlight gently fell on the hillside.

Da da da.

Ji Ran removed his blood-scale armor, and countless crimson threads extended from the ring on his hand, crawling all over his body and healing his injuries as if receiving a blood transfusion.

He had gained 40% of his spiritual power, but in this battle, including the previous 15%, he had consumed at least 30% of his spiritual power.

After recovering from the injuries, I estimate I'll only have about 20% left.

"You're not dead, are you?"

Ji Ran walked over to the side of the Double Flower Red Stick.

This creature is now a full ten feet tall, covered in fine black scales.

However, these scales, which could greatly deflect force, were completely shattered on the front under the bombardment of the three-faced Buddha's four arms, revealing a bloody mess of muscle and ribs.

"without……"

The two red sticks, their faces contorted in a ferocious grimace, were panting heavily, their four eyes darting about eerily as they looked at Ji Ran.

sizzle-

The materialized parts of his body began to dissolve, turning into scalding biomass that merged into his body. Ji Ran watched as he returned to human form, naked, and picked up a piece of indigenous clothing from the nearby corpse, tossing it to him.

Shuanghua Honggun sat half-sitting as he finished dressing. A fragile scab had already formed on the wounds on his body, making Ji Ran's eyelids twitch!
The regenerative abilities of those who have undergone Nirvana... are incredible!
"Come."

Snapped!
Ji Ran reached out and pulled up the double-flower red stick.

"grass!"

"What a big loss!"

The man with the double red stick swayed as he stood up. Ji Ran frowned and looked him over, asking, "What's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Shuanghua Honggun was as thin as a bamboo pole. His once handsome face had prominent cheekbones and a sunken chin, making him look like skin and bones!

"The injury was too severe."

Double Flower Red Stick said helplessly, "What do you think a Nirvana cultivator relies on to recover? It's digesting their own bones and blood."

"Generally speaking, unless the skull is pierced, a Nightmare Master who dies in battle will have his flesh burned away, leaving only a skeleton wrapped in human skin."

Ji Ran raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can it be restored?"

"can."

Shuanghua Honggun nodded and said, "Spiritual energy or a lot of food."

Gollum—

As if to confirm his words, Shuanghua Honggun's stomach rumbled at just the right moment.

"You've lost your spiritual power?"

"There's still about 5% left."

Why isn't it recovering?

Shuanghua Honggun rolled his eyes and said, "It's not much that I can recover. My opponent just now was a formidable level 6 character."

"I have burned out."

"Without a large supply of food, I only have 2-3% of my normal combat strength right now. I'll save my spiritual energy so that I won't be a burden to you if we really encounter danger."

The double-flower red stick stretched his body with a smile.

Ji Ran paused slightly, then gently patted his shoulder.

This battle changed his attitude towards the Double Flower Red Stick. The opponent's fearlessness in battle and his trust in Ji Ran's reminder gave Ji Ran a strange feeling.

He was no longer the Nightmare Master who, despite possessing some skill, recklessly swindled and cheated in the martial arts arena.

It's more like a trustworthy partner.

"but……"

"You killed that guy?!"

At this moment, Shuanghua Honggun walked up to the charred corpse and clicked his tongue, saying, "This guy is definitely extraordinary!"

"If only we could release our Qi."

At this moment, on the charred corpse, there was only an earring, a necklace, a ring, and a belt.

The rest were all burned to charcoal.

Ji Ran looked at the double-flowered red stick, but the other party did not ask about or mention the pillar of fire that had just shot into the sky.

"However, you didn't use your full strength when you fought me, did you?"

The man with the double red staff turned to look at Ji Ran and said, "Do you know how exaggerated it is that your power requires a level 6 sorcerer to parry?"

"If I unleash my full power, he only needs one flick to send me flying."

Ji Ran smiled and said, "It's a matter of domain."

With his current domain, the power he unleashes, combined with the power of the startled phoenix, is definitely at the level of a beginner level 5.

"Well."

The Double Flower Red Stick didn't say much, but simply stroked his chin and asked, "Will you still need a sparring partner in the future?"

"Yes, I'm not that strong myself."

Ji Ran nodded seriously.

He was still self-aware enough to know that if he didn't use his domain and the Frightening Phoenix technique and relied solely on physical combat, he would definitely not be a match for the Double Flower Red Stick.

"That's good."

Shuanghua Honggun beamed with joy. This rich guy who could casually offer 1000 spirit essence for a match was not someone you could just meet easily.

Da da da!
At that moment, Hoshiyama Rinna, who was not far away, ran up with a ghostly hand stuck in the tip of her knife and asked, "Are you... alright?"

The girl's long hair clung to her neck, and her slender eyebrows and eyes showed anxiety.

At this moment, her eyes, which held a hint of shame as she looked at Ji Ran, were sparkling with tears.

I... had previously suspected that he might have some problems.

But at the critical moment on the hillside, gunshots, bullets, and growls rang out! Ultimately, they were stopped by a wave of red!
Rinna Hoshiyama couldn't imagine what would have happened to her if Ji Ran hadn't been there.

brush!
At that moment, the girl suddenly bowed ninety degrees and said urgently, "Immortal Lord Zhuo, I'm so sorry to have troubled you!"

“Those people are from the White Party. The leader is the current leader of the White Party, the Three-Faced Buddha.”

boom!
Rinna Hoshiyama planted her katana in the ground, immediately took out several pills from her bosom, held them up with both hands, bowed, and handed them to Ji Ran, saying, "Please accept these!"

"Oh?"

Ji Ran put away the pill, saw that it was a recovery type, and immediately swallowed it.

White Party leader?

I never expected him to be such an important person.

"Is there a bounty on this person in the Special Operations Department?"

"Probably not."

Rinna Hoshiyama shook her head and said, "However, as long as I can get out, I will tell my father. The Green Party will definitely reward us handsomely for killing the White Party leader!"

"fine."

Thinking about what he had gained from stealing a life, Ji Ran smiled and said, "I have already made my gains."

"Ugh?"

Rinna Hoshiyama looked up, her clear eyes fixed on Ji Ran.

At this moment, Ji Ran retracted his blood-scale armor, revealing a sharply defined face that exuded a heroic and masculine aura. The bloodstains on his cheeks and body added to his sharpness.

His whole being was like a drawn steel blade, dazzling and radiant.

“I said, Miss Hoshiyama, I didn’t watch the fight to kill the Three-Faced Buddha.”

Shuanghua Honggun craned his neck to look, but after a long time he only saw Xingshan Rinna secretly staring at Ji Ran. He said helplessly, "Brother Xian, you can't figure it out even if you stare at him. Give us some medicine."

Upon hearing this, Rinna Hoshiyama's face flushed red.

She bowed deeply to Ji Ran, grabbed a few pills, and handed them to Shuanghua Honggun.

Upon receiving the pill, Shuanghua Honggun swallowed it without even looking at it.

Even poison couldn't kill a Nirvana cultivator like him.

"More."

Rinna Hoshiyama grabbed another handful.

However, she first handed most of it to Ji Ran, then glared at the double-flowered red stick in embarrassment and annoyance before giving him a portion.

Shuanghua Honggun chuckled and said, "Come on, let's clean up the body first and see what's inside."

……

Soon, everyone had cleaned up the battlefield.

Including the old ointment huddled under the stone.

"Boy, you're lucky."

Seeing that the boy only had a scratch on half of his arm, Shuanghua Honggun couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky.

In that battle just now, there was no time to spare for him. If he had been caught in the crossfire, a mutant below level 1 like him would have been certain to die.

The boy nodded repeatedly, now staring at Ji Ran and the others with reverence. That kind of fight just now… even the tax officials were probably only at that level, right?

Could these people be from the upper echelons of the Immortal Capital?
It's Lord Xiandu!?
Chen Gao secretly observed Ji Ran; the skin beneath her tattered clothes showed no signs of genetic abnormalities. His heart then raced as he glanced at Hoshiyama Rinna.

His gaze swept over the girl's slender neck, her high breasts, and her delicate calves...

There was also a shriveled, dry double-flowered red stick next to it, yet it still didn't have the stench of genetic decay.

Could it be... really the high-ranking Immortal Lord?

Chen Gao carefully touched the jade gold beneath the flesh and blood, remaining silent for the time being.

……

"Fuck!"

Double Flower Red Stick counted his spoils and said, "I guess you could call this making a fortune?"

"There are 793 Yin-Yang coins in total. That's not many, considering they just came in. Even if they were robbing the mutant village, they would only take one or two at most."

"The most important thing is the acquisition of equipment and life-saving tools!"

"This one doesn't count, you keep it, Brother Xian."

Shuanghua Honggun picked up the vajra and handed it to Ji Ran.

In all the realms, the quickest way to earn respect is to demonstrate strength. At this moment, both Hoshiyama Rinna and Shuanghua Honggun felt it was only natural that the Vajra Pestle was handed to Ji Ran.

"it is good."

Ji Ran didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the Vajra Pestle. It was a rare treasure, but it had already been forged to the sixth level.

"Take a look at the rest."

Shuanghua Honggun leaned back, supporting himself with both hands on the ground, and handed over the distribution rights to Ji Ran.

Ji Ran didn't stand on ceremony. He looked around and said, "Apart from the Three-Faced Buddha and a long spear, everyone else's are ordinary items."

"Keep the ordinary items for now, and sell them all together later to make money."

"As for this belt, it's already damaged, so let's put it with the ordinary items."

"The life-gear... Rinna, take it for now, we'll use it together."

"As for the currency, Red Stick and I will each receive 350, and Rinna will receive 93."

Neither of them had any objections to these assignments.

In the end, an earring, a necklace, a ring, and a spear were left on the ground.

Among them, earrings and rings are spiritual tools, while necklaces and spears are rare treasures.

Ji Ran divided it into three parts, saying, "One part for each type of spiritual tool, and one part for each type of rare treasure."

"No problem, you choose first."

Ji Ran didn't stand on ceremony and took the earring.

Shuanghua Honggun immediately took the necklace and spear, saying, "The spear is good. The master must be a melee specialist, having already reached level 4."

"My marksmanship isn't bad either, so it's applicable."

"Thank you."

Beside her, Hoshiyama Rinna nodded and smiled at the double-flower red stick; for her, the ring was clearly more suitable.

"You're welcome."

wow-

With a smile, Shuanghua Honggun handed 350 coins to Hoshiyama Rinna and said, "Here you go."

"It's now 6200 spiritual essence."

"Ugh?"

Rinna Hoshiyama parted her lips slightly, and smiled sweetly. As the eldest princess of the Blue Party, she was not lacking in spiritual energy; the spiritual artifacts that the Double Flower Red Stick had given up were far superior to those with mere spiritual energy.

Ji Ran stood up and said, "Everyone, take a short break and then we'll head to the garbage mountain to rent an identity."

……

【Tera Kiyote*6-forged】(Rare Treasure)

Skill - Ghost Tower: Allows you to absorb non-physical ghosts into your spirit tool.

Note: Like a mirage, it vanishes at the slightest touch, just like your heart.

not bad.

Ji Ran put away the Vajra Pestle and stuck the Mirage Pendant directly into his ear. The Ghost Tower skill meant that he could find a Zashiki-warashi and have it live inside.

The earrings are black rings with gold wave patterns on the outside and a red ship carved in blood red on the inside.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Ran began his own improvement!
He sat down on the ground, slowly releasing his spiritual energy, feeling the four strong warm currents within his body.

Man can conquer heaven!

This time, all those killed were wandering warriors, and the sheer weight of that power far surpassed anything seen before!
Moreover, Ji Ran himself is only level 3, so killing higher-level enemies already gives him a boost!

As streams of spiritual energy surged, Ji Ran's physical strength rapidly increased!
One, two... three!
[4.193 → 4.29]!
The first three levels weren't high, and the improvement wasn't significant. But Ji Ran still possessed an extremely powerful force within him!

Three-faced Buddha!
However, I don't have enough spiritual power.

If I force a breakthrough, will there be any unexpected changes?

However, the Three-Faced Buddha is not some other being, but a human being. Therefore, the mutation shouldn't be too significant.

Thinking of this, Ji Ran did not hesitate and directly absorbed the power!
boom!
"Um!?"

Suddenly, Shuanghua Honggun and Hoshiyama Rinna's eyes turned to Ji Ran!
At this moment, the ground beneath Ji Ran sank, and white spots appeared on his skin, as if some of his muscles had turned white.

White muscle lines appeared on his skin, which wasn't particularly dark, but they weren't very noticeable.

"His power... has increased!"

"Double Flower Red Stick," he murmured.

He keenly sensed that Ji Ran's physical strength had suddenly surged!
At this moment, Ji Ran opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body, and saw some marks appearing on his skin. He frowned slightly.

Sure enough, problems arise without the suppression of spiritual energy.

The edges of skin of different colors are much more fragile than other areas.

But it was worth it!
Status - Human Will Can Conquer Nature: [4.29→4.83]!
A terrifying upgrade!

My physical strength is now approaching level 5!
At the same time, experience points also increased by 21%!

[Level: 3 (23%→44%)]

Crazy experience boost!
In just over a day, the experience I've gained is equivalent to a whole world for a normal person!
This is a killing dungeon, an absolute paradise for the strong.

I really want to... slaughter the remaining three hundred people!

"call--"

Ji Ran let out a long breath, suppressing the murderous urge in his heart.

He stood up, checked the time, and said, "Shall we set off?"

"go!"

Double Flower Red Stick and Hoshiyama Rinna had already made adjustments.

Without sufficient spiritual energy, it's nothing more than taking drugs and bandaging wounds.

"that……"

Suddenly, Chen Gao, who was standing to the side, said, "Sir, are you planning to sell these things?"

Chen Gao pointed to the equipment in the truck bed, and Ji Ran nodded, saying, "That's right."

"Then I recommend that you sell it to the garbage dump."

“That area is the edge of Xiandu’s garbage dumping zone, and also a black market with a relatively large flow of people.”

Good weapons are in high demand outside the city.

"Well?"

Ji Ran and the other two exchanged glances and said, "Let's go take a look first."

The four set off.

The sky was already bright, and the sunlight was clear and bright.

The outer city of Xiandu resembled a colossal black beast hanging from the sky, with countless plants growing wildly over the silent ruins outside the city. Some flying ships and airships were slowly descending, heading towards a slender mountain peak hundreds of meters high in the far distance.

That was the garbage mountain.
