Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 144 A Gift from the Venomous Tree Centipede: The Bee Egg Evolves Once Again!
The "cave" opened its eyes.

Its dark golden pupils were three meters in diameter, larger than a house.

The moment his pupils lit up, an overwhelming sense of oppression surged forth, filling Xia Fa's chest with a momentary tightness.

The Venomous Tree Centipede tensed its body, curling into a bow shape as if facing a formidable enemy, while simultaneously spitting out a secret inscription with venomous gas:
That's it! It's that giant bear!
Xia Fagang had only a chance to glance at the secret text when the "mountain" where the cave was located stood up.

The mountain, over two hundred meters high, stood up like that, with soil and rocks rolling down its slopes. Hairs as large as stone pillars opened and closed, and you could even see pores the size of bowls between the hairs.

This is a giant bear, a grayish-white giant bear, two hundred meters tall, but with only one eye.

With its single, dark golden eye, six arms, and enormous size, it looks like a battle pet kept by a demon god.

Xia Fa was somewhat taken aback. This was a living being?
This is too big!
Is this the giant bear that the Venomous Tree Centipede mentioned?

Before they could think any further, the giant bear, over two hundred meters tall, stretched out its six arms, its dark golden pupils looking down, its gaze fixed on the location of the Venomous Tree Centipede!
A pressure as immense as an overturned ocean descended from the sky, making it difficult for Xia Fa to breathe.

Immediately afterwards, the mountain-like giant bear clenched its fists on all six arms and, without saying a word, slammed them into the ground!
The venomous tree centipede turned and bit Xia Fa, throwing him far away. Then, its body moved as nimbly as a snake, slithering away through the gap between the six small, hill-like fists.

Despite the massive earthquake, it remained completely unaffected, its body as steady as if firmly planted on the ground.

Xia Faren was in the air and happened to see this scene.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, he and the Venomous Tree Centipede could no longer communicate using secret texts. Furthermore, since the Venomous Tree Centipede's mental capacity was only equivalent to that of a six- or seven-year-old child, they were unable to discuss tactics in advance on the way.

So, the mercury in Xia Fa's palm automatically opened to both sides, deciding to try using the sealed object for the first time.

The tiger-tooth folding knife fell out and was caught between Xia Fa's two fingers.

The moment the tiger-tooth folding knife fell out, the steel ball inside the hollow cavity of the blade vibrated rapidly, making a clattering sound, seemingly even more excited than Xia Fa.

The next moment, Xia Fa landed and clenched his fists in the air.

The tiger-tooth folding knife suddenly shone brightly, shining and elongating like molten steel, instantly transforming into a three-meter-long horse-slaying sword!

The blade is broad and imposing, ancient and solemn.

The blade was extremely sharp, its cold light gleaming.

The back of the knife, about three fingers wide, was covered with tens of thousands of secret inscriptions, but not a single one lit up.

The enormous horse-slaying sword was now in Xia Fa's hand, which was quite fitting given his current height of three and a half meters.

Even though he had already adopted this fighting stance, the mountain-like giant bear didn't even glance at him. It raised its six arms again, seemingly wanting to smash the venomous tree centipedes crawling on the ground into mincemeat.

The Venomous Tree Centipede is normally comparable in size to a giant python, but compared to this creature that is over 200 meters tall, it looks like a small earthworm.

The Venomous Tree Centipede moved with incredible speed, as if it had transformed into a streak of seven-colored light, and in an instant, it crawled from the ground onto the giant mountain bear, reaching its belly in the blink of an eye.

The giant bear, of course, wouldn't smash itself, so it slammed one of its paws into its belly.

boom! ! !
A circular shockwave rippled out from its paws and belly, rapidly destroying trees within a radius of hundreds of miles, turning the plant maze into a wasteland.

Fortunately, this mountain bear was also a top predator in the Mist God's Hunting Grounds. Few animals dared to stay in the area where it lived, so it didn't harm many animals.

The venomous tree centipede, however, had somehow already reached the mountain bear's shoulder and bit down on its neck.

"Roar!!!"

The mountain bear was in pain; its neck quickly turned purple, and its blood vessels became black and swollen, bulging out from the fur on its neck.

This time, it swept across with incredible speed, instantly swatting the venomous tree centipede off its neck.

With a muffled thud, the Venomous Tree Centipede crashed to the ground in the distance like a meteor. It was struck so hard by the blow that it rolled around on the ground in agony, crushing the soil and rocks.

The mountain bear, however, had piercing eyes, its dark golden vertical pupils brimming with intense desire. It looked at the venomous tree centipede, took a few steps forward, and grabbed down with all six arms at once.

That was the look in the eyes of a ferocious beast facing its favorite prey. Xia Fa had seen it before on the Venomous Tree Centipede when it discovered the corpse of the disguised giant lizard.

"It seems that this demigod-level giant bear has focused all its talent on physical strength?"

Xia Fa finally understood why the Venomous Tree Centipede couldn't defeat this Mountain Giant Bear.

Because the mountain bear is so large, it is difficult for the venom of the poisonous tree centipede to truly penetrate its body.

It is estimated that it has extremely high resistance to various toxins, after all, it has eaten so many highly poisonous tree centipedes in the past.

For example, right now, the mountain bear was bitten on the neck, but only a small area turned purple and the blood vessels became black and bulging. That's all, and it immediately started to disappear.

I'm afraid even its muscles haven't been affected by the poison yet.

Just then, the mountain bear's six arms were about to seize the venomous tree centipede.

Xia Fa gripped the saber tightly in his hand, and mercury vapor immediately rose from his body.

He wanted to test the waters and see which side was stronger.

At first, before they met, he thought he might be able to defeat this demigod-level supernatural creature.

In his imagination, this six-armed giant bear was probably only five or six meters tall, but its abilities were strange and difficult to defend against, making it hard to deal with.

According to the Venomous Tree Centipede, its secret bond ability could subdue the giant bear, which is why Xia Fa felt he had a chance.

But now, looking at this giant bear, which is two hundred meters tall and as large as a mountain, Xia Fa put aside his previous thoughts.

If his attack only scratched the surface, then Xia Fa decided... after some maneuvering, he would use the secret ability of Star Silver Flash to escape with the Venomous Tree Centipede!
After all, even if his three-meter-long sword were to cut a ten-meter gash in this mountain bear, it would be like a human being scratched by a pencil sharpener—practically harmless.

Wow——!
The mercury vapor grew thicker and thicker, changing from silvery-white to a mysterious star-blue.
Xia Fa gripped the saber, his aura steadily rising.

The giant mountain bear completely ignored him. Its biological instincts made it subconsciously disregard this ant-like human who was only at the eagle level, and it used its six arms to grab at the venomous tree centipede crawling on the ground.

call--

At one point, the mercury vapor suddenly expanded as if it were breathing.

Suck--

Immediately afterwards, all the mercury vapor suddenly gathered on Xia Fa's horse-slaying sword!
The black iron-colored blade of the horse-slaying sword seemed unchanged, but suddenly, in a fleeting moment, a chilling silver light flashed.

Xia Fa's aura also reached its peak in the instant the silver light flashed!
Swish!
A plume of star-blue mercury vapor shot from his back, and his figure flashed like a shrinking black hole before vanishing from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared in the air.

It appeared... behind the giant bear's massive, mountain-like back!

With lightning speed, Xia Fa unleashed a slash!

The silver blade light was like a mercury curtain, broad and majestic, stretching for a hundred meters, as if it came from the horizon and slashed down violently!
Like a mountain collapsing! Like a sea crumbling! Unstoppable and overwhelming!

Silver Slash!

With a soft "snip," it made a sound as subtle as a knife slicing through silk.

Xia Fa was astonished to see that the hundred-meter-long blade of light cut straight into the back of the mountain bear without any obstruction, emerged from its chest, and cut straight into the earth.

A very thin crack was cut into the gray-white rocky earth, and the crack immediately became dark and deep. After a moment, a fire was lit.

A stream of heat bursts out from it.

A blood line ran across the back of the mountain bear, splitting its enormous body in two before it crashed to the left and right.

On the left side of the body, the head with a single dark golden eye turned its head incredulously at the last moment and glanced at Xia Fa.

In that glance, there was fear stemming from biological instinct, as well as astonishment at being a demigod.

The dark golden pupils dimmed, and the half of the body crashed to the ground, kicking up countless pebbles and dust, creating a crater hundreds of meters wide with cracks all over the ground.

Xia Fa landed steadily, but his eyes held an even more unbelievable astonishment.

One cut?

He actually killed this demigod-level mountain bear with a single strike?
He just used "Silver Slash," a secret ability of the Silver Throne that he had recently acquired.

Originally, Xia Fa also wanted to try out the two secret abilities, "Repentance Silver Hammer" and "Celestial Star Silver Fall".

Heavenly Star Silver Fall is an upgrade of Heavenly Punishment Silver. It is one of the new secret ability he gained after fusing the core abilities of the two overlord-level secret contracts, Silver Throne and Gate of Stars.

Xia Fa had always been curious about what kind of power it would have.

In particular, since there was no one around, he wanted to use the [Judgment of the Silver Sun] technique, the original secret technique of the Silver Throne, again, so that he would have a better understanding of when to use it in future battles.

Unexpectedly, the mountain bear died with just one Silver Slash.

In fact, this silver slash cut into the earth and went all the way down to the depths where there was magma.

Xia Fa's eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked up at the giant mountain bear's body, which had been cut in half.

Bright red blood gushed out, the stench of blood assaulting the senses, carrying intense heat, and like a waterfall, instantly engulfed the ground beneath their feet.

Blood flowed into the cracks he had cut in the earth, and soon acrid black smoke rose up, accompanied by a strong stench of blood.

Presumably, it was blood that encountered magma from underground.

Xia Fa had no time to pay attention to that, because he noticed that the cuts on the mountain bear's body, including its fur, skin, muscles, bones, organs, and even blood vessels, were being corroded by the silver blade's light.

Those were specks of silver light, clinging to these parts of the mountain bear like maggots, constantly corroding it.

Xia Fa suddenly realized, could this be what the Venomous Tree Centipede meant by how his abilities were restrained by this giant bear?
In retrospect, this restraint was probably very effective, which is one of the reasons why he was able to kill the mountain bear with a single blow.

As for the other reason, it is of course that he has already reached the Eagle level and the power of the two Overlord level secret contracts he signed!

And then there's that burning sensation, the burning sensation within the cells of my body.

This time, even though he was facing a demigod, he didn't feel any burning sensation in his heart or strange currents in his spine. So, Xia Fa had no choice but to rely on the burning sensation he had developed in all his cells through previous training.

He had thought that his all-out strike would at most only be able to pierce the mountain bear's hide, but he never expected...

A rustling sound arose, and a venomous tree centipede emerged from the fur beneath one of the mountain bear's arms.

Its dark, round eyes were filled with surprise, very obvious surprise.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!"

The Venomous Tree Centipede even forgot to utter the secret inscription and instead let out a cry, excitedly expressing something.

Xia Fa listened carefully for a while and then responded:

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

The Venomous Tree Centipede was puzzled, tilting its head as it tried to understand. After a long while, it opened its mouth and spat out a secret text formed from condensed poison gas:

My goodness, you're amazing! What did you just say? I don't understand.

Xia Fa also responded with cryptic texts formed from condensed mercury:
I was just talking nonsense, haha.

The Venomous Tree Centipede was taken aback, a look of astonishment on its face, and said in secret script:
Why talk nonsense?

Xia Fa responded in coded language:

Hmm... I'd like to try communicating with you in your language.

Actually, he just wanted to tease the Venomous Tree Centipede, but considering that the Venomous Tree Centipede seemed too naive, he changed his approach.

The Venomous Tree Centipede, its small, dark eyes seemingly lost in thought, nodded its head up and down, then spat out a cryptic venomous gas:
Oh, right, all the prey is yours!
Xia Fa replied in cryptic language with some surprise:

Don't you want it?

The Venomous Tree Centipede shook its enormous head from side to side and said in secret script:

It's all your credit, I can't take it. It was the same when I hunted with other centipedes; whoever caught the prey alone got to keep it.
Xia Fa smiled and responded in coded language:

Well, you actually deserve a lot of credit for attracting its attention. Okay, wait a moment, let me see how to divide it.

The Venomous Tree Centipede obediently nodded its head up and down, then lay on the ground, raising its dark little eyes to quietly look at Xia Fa.

At this moment, he gives the impression of being somewhat like a puppy.

Xia Fa smiled slightly, flipped his palm, and took out "The Mystic Exploration Record of the Fog People".

Since it is a supernatural creature from the Mist God's Hunting Grounds, it must be recorded.

This time, time was not so tight. The giant bear was already dead, and there was also a venomous tree centipede guarding the area, so Xia Fa did not use divination but patiently began to peruse the documents.

He first turned to the page on "Binding Chains" before turning to the next page, because those pages were all about supernatural beings of demigod rank.

After flipping through a few pages, Xia Fa stopped, glancing at the pages with a look of amusement and disbelief in his eyes.

"I see……"

On that page was a picture of a one-eyed, six-armed giant bear, with dense text below it.

【Mountain Dragon Bear】

[Legend has it that this is a supernatural creature that was born from the eggs laid by a dragon of angelic rank. If the eggs were to break and flow into a hill, they might be born from that hill.]

The size of the Mountain Dragon Bear can theoretically grow indefinitely, increasing by about one meter every year. It is born with the rank of demigod, but can only reach the rank of angel at its highest.

The Mountain Dragon Bear's extraordinary talents are all focused on increasing physical defense and strength; it has no extraordinary talents that it can actively utilize.

As a descendant of dragons, the Mountain Dragon Bear, like all other dragons and their descendants, is easily countered by mercury and mercury vapor. Of course, at the demigod level and above, it requires various forms of mercury from mystical concepts to counter it, such as activated mithril, rhine silver mercury, and destructive silver, etc.

Xia Fazheng found this part somewhat both funny and absurd.

So it turns out this mountain dragon bear is a descendant of a giant dragon?
No wonder my secret power from the Silver Throne can restrain it; silver and mercury have always been a great counter to dragons!

As for the various subspecies of dragons, needless to say, the effect of restraint is even greater!
Xia Fa glanced again at the silver blade light that was corroding the two halves of the mountain dragon bear's corpse, nodded slightly, withdrew his gaze, and looked directly at the most crucial part of the book.

The paws of the Mountain Dragon Bear are edible and considered an exquisite delicacy. They are rich in extraordinary power, which can help those with extraordinary abilities enhance their physical constitution.

The single pupil of the Mountain Dragon Bear is an extremely rare and extraordinary material, with a market price of around 100,000 gold pounds, and often fetching between 120,000 and 130,000 gold pounds.

In addition, it is not recommended to eat the organs and muscles of the Mountain Dragon Bear, as they contain small stones and gravel, and the amount of extraordinary power they contain is not very high.

The blood of the Mountain Dragon Bear can be fed to domesticated supernatural creatures, who particularly enjoy it.

If you encounter a mountain dragon bear in the wild, please try to kill it. Otherwise, once it grows up, every time it goes out to hunt, the damage it causes to the environment will be devastating.

Having read this far, Xia Fa understood the situation. He put the book away, picked up his three-meter-long broadsword, and walked toward the corpse of the mountain dragon bear.

He used the Star Silver Flash ability again, flashing once on each of its legs and six arms, severing its bear paws, a total of eight, and putting them all into the Black Bear Bag.

Then, it flashed to its head, stood on its hill-like head, and gouged out its three-meter-diameter dark gold eyeballs.

The dark gold eyes gave him the feeling of being semi-transparent metal, clearly indicating their extraordinary nature.

Just as Xia Fa put the dark golden eyeballs into his black pouch, he suddenly noticed that a piece of fur on the Mountain Dragon Bear's neck trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a patch of fur around its navel trembled.

But that wasn't all; extraordinary substances began to rapidly precipitate from the cut on its neck!

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback, then his eyes lit up with surprise.

Judging from this, this mountain dragon bear can not only extract demigod-level extraordinary essence, but also generate two high-level secret contracts.
From this perspective, it seems to be even stronger than those binding chains.

The extraordinary essence quickly precipitated out, and at first glance, it looked like an inconspicuous grayish-white stone.

But Xia Fa didn't mind at all and put it directly into the black bag.

This may seem insignificant, but in reality, the extraordinary essence of a demigod is worth at least 30,000 gold pounds on the market!

Immediately afterwards, two high-level secret contracts were generated, just like when the binding chains generated high-level secret contracts; the two high-level secret contracts were exactly the same.

Xia Fa flashed over, cut them off one by one, and examined them in his hand.

"Mountain Demon Devours"

It's another high-level secret contract I've never seen before, not even in the secret contract statistics catalog.

Of course, the catalog of secret contracts is incomplete, containing fewer than two hundred different contracts.

"Mountain demon devouring? What kind of secret ability could this be?"

"I wonder how much it's worth..."

After storing the two high-level secret contracts in his pouch, Xia Fa teleported back to the Venomous Tree Centipede and communicated with it using secret text:
Okay, the rest is all yours, you can eat now.

The Venomous Tree Centipede's dark eyes lit up, and it suddenly stood up. But after looking at the massive body of the Mountain Bear, it shook its head in distress and spat out a poisonous gas spell:
I can't finish it; I can only eat one of its arms at most.

Xia Fa paused for a moment, then smiled and replied in coded language:
Oh, that's alright, I can handle it.

With a slight thought, he removed the sensory shield against the bee eggs from his left shoulder.

The bee egg trembled slightly, awoke, and immediately conveyed its thoughts through spiritual intuition:

"Master! Good afternoon!"

Seeing that it could express itself fluently, Xia Fa was quite pleased and replied with spiritual intuition:
"Come out, it's time to eat again. I just don't know if you can finish it all."

Bee Egg immediately replied:

"Yes, Master, don't worry, leave it to me!"

It detached from Xiafa's shoulder and was as big as a watermelon, floating in the air like a giant dragon ball.

The venomous tree centipede was startled and spat out its venomous gas.

This, what is this?
The bee eggs, however, seemed to understand the cryptic message, and they too formed a cryptic message from honey:

Hello! I am my owner's pet, my name is Bee Egg!
The venomous tree centipede looked at Xia Fa, then at the bee eggs, before uttering the secret text:
Hello, bee eggs.

The bee eggs suddenly sensed something, circled the venomous tree centipede, and then condensed honey into a secret inscription:
Can you secrete venom? Could you give me a little bit? I want every kind!

Xia Fa had been watching them communicate with a smile on his face. Of course, he could understand the secret text formed by the bee eggs. But now, he was slightly surprised, and his eyes lit up.

Yes, these bee eggs came from the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons!
The Holy Poison Bees under the command of Veronica, the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons, are all highly poisonous!
Xia Fa still remembers clearly the scene when the poisonous bees' stings instantly corroded and dried up the mushroom tree back in the cave.

Why didn't I think of this before, to make the Venomous Tree Centipede secrete venom for my bee eggs?

Xia Fa clapped his fist and palm together, immediately condensing a secret inscription with mercury:

Very good! That's it! Centipede, do as it says!
The Venomous Tree Centipede was naturally drawn to the bee eggs, and now that its good friend Xia Fa had spoken, it didn't hesitate at all. With a swipe of its python-like body, it suddenly sprayed out more than thirty kinds of venom.

The moment it sprayed out the venom, its iridescent shell dimmed for a brief instant, clearly indicating that it had expended a significant amount of its essence.

These venoms included purple venom that Xia Fa had seen before, black venom, and even red venom that gave a burning sensation. There were also translucent venoms, completely transparent venoms like water, and venoms of various colors.

Each type of venom has a different function: neurotoxins, myotoxins, protein toxins, and even venoms with simple anesthetic effects and digestive effects!
The bee eggs were overjoyed, touching the venom one by one with their waxy yellow egg membranes and beginning to absorb it in clumps.

The Venomous Tree Centipede watched quietly as the bee eggs were absorbed, its dark eyes filled with curiosity, as if it were anticipating something.

In the blink of an eye, the bee eggs had absorbed all the venom.

At that moment, an incredibly incredible change occurred to it!
