With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 364 A Terrifying Opponent, Yang Lei, Displays His Power!

Today, Meng Chuan plans to thoroughly explore this area.

No place should be overlooked, as it may be a hiding place for a high-ranking demon.

No matter how you look at it, Meng Chuan has no idea what his strength will be after all his techniques have advanced and his six orifices of qi and blood have changed.

It's a good opportunity to practice in the top position; the middle position is no longer enough for him.

As we ventured deeper into this strange terrain, the sandstorms were blocked by layers of sandstone, and the surrounding sounds gradually quieted down, no longer as noisy as before.

With the environment improving, everyone calmed down and began hunting down the Heavenly Demons.

Meng Chuan also practiced his boxing while committing acts of murder.

One punch, one kill, crunchy and satisfying.

Hearing the occasional notifications in his mind about the progress of his mastery of the Third-Rate Five Elements Fist, Meng Chuan was in a good mood.

If only it could be like this every day, practicing mental techniques in the camp and then going outside to practice boxing in real combat.

He would return at night to exchange resources and continue his training, making him a veritable perpetual motion machine of martial arts.

Unfortunately, this area, [Yellow Sand 011], has been allocated to the military as a training ground, and once the trials are over, it can no longer be entered.

Unlike other demon nests, it's a pity that you can hunt freely there.

After all, most of them are not designated as resource areas in the Demon Nest.

It's not that it's too dangerous, but that it can't be taken down in a short time.

The resources have already been almost completely plundered by predecessors, so going in now would only mean cleaning up and getting nothing but scraps.

"If we have another good day like this, we can only hope that General Manager Shen of Hanhai will step up his efforts."

Aside from the trials arranged by the school, the only way for low-level demon nests to get a piece of meat is to rely on the pioneering teams that emerge when a new demon nest is created.

Ordinary martial arts practitioners naturally don't have this privilege.

As the holder of the "Dawn of the Sea" contract, he must relentlessly explore new frontiers!
Two hours later, everyone began to take turns exerting their strength.

Only Meng Chuan remained energetic and tireless.

These "little karaokes" won't cause him much trouble at all.

Even before practicing the "Five Thunderbolts" technique, Meng Chuan was still full of energy.
Looking at the building in front of him, which was several times larger than the other sandstone structures, Meng Chuan's face lit up with joy.

In his perception, behind the massive sandstone in front of him, a vast amount of demonic energy was gathering.

The intensity of this demonic energy was almost the same as that of the demon that had possessed Lin Yue that they had previously defeated.

It is a formidable opponent.

"It seems that even high-ranking demons need a large house to demonstrate their status when they reside in their demon nests."

He guessed that this could be considered a pattern for identifying the location of powerful demons.

Meng Chuanchao gave the others a wink, and they understood immediately, holding their breath and quietly retreating to a distance.

Xu Qingfeng pointed to the large "sand sculpture" and gave it a "be careful" gesture.

Meng Chuan nodded in response, then withdrew his other thoughts and slowly approached his target.

Suddenly, he frowned.

"We've been discovered."

For launching surprise attacks, the [Compressed] state is more useful.

However, Meng Chuan could not ignore the speed of the high-ranking demons. If he was unable to unleash his physical body in time, he would easily suffer a loss in the confrontation.

Before Meng Chuan's thoughts had even faded, he heard a loud bang!

The sandstone, nearly ten meters high, exploded instantly, sending yellow smoke billowing into the sky.

A huge shadow, nearly ten meters wide, was cast in the sandstorm in front of us.

It was slowly approaching, and the shadow grew larger and larger.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?"

The people in the distance felt terrified just by looking at the shadow of this guy.

Chu Yanlong's expression was solemn. He had seen a similar being in the Demon Nest Guidebook.

A rustling sound came from the dust.

Then, a long, hairy, black leg covered in barbs emerged.

The broken leg alone is nearly two meters tall.

Chu Yanlong's expression changed drastically upon seeing the leg, and he couldn't help but shout:
"Meng Chuan, let's go!"

The superior demon, Red Refining Spider!

This kind of celestial demon is the highest-ranking being within the entire demon nest.

Even a high-ranking sand scorpion is no match for this giant spider.

Chu Yanlong felt that if Meng Chuanruo reached the second limit, he could still put up a fight with the opponent based on his strength.

One limitation is that there is almost no chance of hunting down the opponent.

Boom!

A loud bang interrupted his thoughts. He saw Meng Chuan raise his Tiger Soul Spear, stride forward and charge into the yellow mist, thrusting fiercely!

This thing looks like it's covered in poison, and it's so big. Let's test its potency first!
The sandstorm was severe. Meng Chuan squinted and made a rough assessment, concluding that the demon should be the Crimson Spider.

Recalling the weaknesses marked on the Demon Nest's Guide, regardless of whether the previous attack was successful, leap up again and smash into the giant spider's rear end.

Unfortunately, he did not expect that the opponent's eight compound eyes would blaze with crimson light, which splashed all over him.

Meng Chuan's hand went limp, and the tiger soul in his hand fell to the ground.

This attack method isn't from the Crimson Spider, it's from the damn Demon Eye Spider!

How did it grow so big?

Meng Chuan was completely baffled. He knew that there were also records of such celestial demons, but they were said to be no larger than three meters in size.

This one in front of us is as big as a half-trailer truck!

It seems we can't completely trust the information about the Demon Nest; its contents were drawn based on preliminary explorations by the military.

It's normal for there to be some oversights.

hiss!
With a sharp whistle, the eight enormous eyeballs glowed red and once again swept towards Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan glanced at Tiger Soul, then reluctantly withdrew.

The red light missed its target, and the Demon Eye Spider's mouth opened and closed, lunging towards Meng Chuan at an alarming speed.

This thing can fight in close combat and can also manipulate demonic energy to cast "weakening spells" from a distance, making it extremely troublesome. By the time the demonic spider pounced in front of him, Meng Chuan was already wearing ferocious armor, and his fist blade drew an arc of light as it met the spider's mandibles.

clang--!
How could the hardness of the Demon Eye Spider's mouthparts compare to that of a third-grade True Martial Artifact? Its deep yellow, sharp teeth, dripping with saliva, were immediately covered with cracks.

In the instant of pain, the giant spider decided to engage in a long-range battle with its opponent.

Another beam of red light shot down, heading straight for Meng Chuan.

It realized that there was no benefit in going head-to-head with this man!

Unexpectedly, Meng Chuan had already moved to the top of its head, and with a thought, his inner energy was imbued with bursts of fire.

Crimson thunderbolts swirled around his arm, and the Yang thunder of the Bing fire had gathered here.

Upon witnessing this shocking scene, the people in the distance were all stunned.

Aren't we all martial artists? Why are you doing this?
Xu Qingfeng recognized that this was the same set of boxing techniques that Meng Chuan had practiced in the courtyard the day before.

Chu Yanlong shook his head, realizing he had been worrying unnecessarily.

With this strength, don't blame any spider demons; they can be hunted down.

"die!"

With the support of immense fire-attribute true energy, Meng Chuan's right arm was enveloped in waves of flame, and darker Bing fire Yang thunder danced within the flames, emitting crackling sounds.

boom--!
Click!

The punch landed squarely on the giant spider's carapace, producing a short, crisp cracking sound that made your teeth ache.

The Demon Eye Spider's carapace exploded, scattering fragments everywhere.

The pain caused it to immediately raise its body, its mouthparts moving unconsciously in a ping-pong motion.

The next second, in its pupils, a dark, bladed iron fist magnified and pierced straight into its brain.
A few minutes later, Meng Chuan, holding the Tiger Soul, lay on the Demon Eye Spider and searched it over.

“The true spirit of the Heavenly Demon, just like that of a human, usually resides in the chest. I need to turn this giant spider over.”

Meng Chuan jumped off it and stood in front of the "half-hanging".

With his arms bulging with muscles, he grabbed two spider legs and lifted them up, flipping them 180 degrees so their bellies were facing the sky.

When he let go, he found that several barbs had been embedded in his palm, and a tingling sensation came through.

This is the neurotoxin of the Demon Eye Spider, and it is also the signature skill of this type of demon.

Unfortunately, it passed away before it could even unleash its power, and Meng Chuan felt sorrow for it.

He then focused his mind and watched as the fleshy waves in his palm rolled and squeezed out the hair-like thorns.

Its roots are so thin they are almost imperceptible, and they even have faint barbs that are incredibly sharp.

"Even a centipede that has died does not fall down; it was able to break through my defenses using its hairs."

"We must be cautious when facing a high-ranking demon; we cannot let our guard down."

Aside from the true spirit, the most valuable thing is the other party's eight eyes, each the size of a goose egg.

The opponent's ability to spread weakened red light comes from this.

Each eye can serve as the main material for a "demon-slaying weapon," and it's the highest quality kind, with a total value exceeding ten million.

After taking it off, Meng Chuan quickly put it back in his backpack, looking at it with a strange sense of unease.

"I don't need this. I'll sell it to the school to get credits."

The true spirit was naturally kept for personal use.

The superior true spirit, when fed to the dragon demon, is transformed into essence to strengthen itself, with effects far exceeding those of the mid-level spirit.

After the harvest was over, Meng Chuan and the others cleared out the sand scorpions that had been attracted by the commotion and then left for the next location.

Finding a place with a wide view, the group sat down to take stock of their spoils and rest.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged and examined the panel in his mind.

Just now, after a real battle, he was struck by lightning and successfully advanced to the proficient level.

"If we encounter a mid-level Heavenly Demon again in the future, we can make more use of the other four types of lightning techniques."

Once you can apply them skillfully to the level of Bing Fire Yang Thunder, you should be able to break through and master them.

Seeing blood in real combat improves one's skills much faster than through daily practice.

Seven days later, aside from resources, his cultivation will not fall too far behind.

On the other side, Xu Qingfeng counted the stingers of the sand scorpions in his bag, a look of delight on his face.

"Plus the battle merits gained from hunting demons, I've made a killing!"
If I could get this every day, I'd eat the Qi-Jia Spirit Pill like sunflower seeds when I got back to school.

The others were also beaming as they tallied their spoils.

Once I calmed down, I suddenly realized that my body was aching terribly.

This is a physical aftereffect of a long and intense battle.

Without a certain level of physical training to strengthen the body, this is something no one can avoid.

"Let's go back to camp and rest for a while, and then continue hunting later."

Chen Jingyi's words were met with nods of approval from everyone.

Meng Chuan thought for a moment and said:

"Then you go back and rest first. I'll explore this place and then go to other places to help you explore a few more nearby areas."

"Thank you, Brother Chuan!"

"Brother Wang, you're almost thirty, don't call me brother anymore."

Chu Yanlong was in good condition, but he didn't plan to explore other places and stayed at the Spire Stone Formation to hunt.

In 【Huangsha 011】, the strongest is only at the top; two tigers cannot share one mountain.
The top-ranking scorpions in this area have been eliminated; the remaining mid-ranking sand scorpions can be dealt with by one person if they are pulled along.

After bidding farewell to the others returning to the camp, the two turned back and disappeared into the sandstone formation.

After a thorough hunt and complete exploration of the area, Meng Chuan and Chu Yanlong took their leave.

Proceed to the marked [Wave Rock] area within the Demon Nest Guide on the right.

Be careful and stay safe.

"You too."

Meng Chuan glanced at his watch, then said:

"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll probably be back at camp in about five hours to store my things and rest. See you at camp then."

"it is good."
