Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Three minutes later.

By the Demon Moon Lake.

Looking at the herd of animals that had returned to quiet by the lake, Jiang Lan smiled.

Previously, when Jiang Lan was at the first level of the Hengxing realm, he couldn't do anything about these ferocious beasts, who were generally at the fourth or fifth level of the Hengxing realm.

But now, his strength has reached the peak of the fifth level of the Hengxing realm.

With the addition of various secret manuals, Jiang Lan's full-force attack at this moment was comparable to that of an eighth-level Hengxing cultivator.

The most crucial thing...

Jiang Lan flicked his wrist, and a golden halberd instantly appeared in his hand.

Golden Feather War Halberd 2.0

Although it looks no different from the previous Golden Feather Halberd, the one Jiang Lan is holding now was modified by Babata using fragments of the Red Mixed Copper Mother.

In terms of sharpness, it is far superior to the previous Golden Feather War Halberd 1.0.

Jiang Lan even suspected that if the original Golden Feather Halberd were used, it would probably break in two if it hit a ferocious beast, leaving the beast unharmed.

But now, there's absolutely no need to worry.

The fragment of the Crimson Copper Mother is something even Realm Lord level experts would covet. Killing a few Star Monsters would be a piece of cake for it.

His gaze swept across the lakeside.

At this moment, five groups of ferocious beasts were scattered around the lake, drinking water.

Each group has about a dozen birds.

Among them was a group of one-horned iron rhinoceroses.

It seems there are quite a few Iron Rhinoceroses in this Thunder World.

A group was just killed, and in such a short time, another group has arrived.

Jiang Lan glanced around again, and finding no other martial artists nearby, he got up from behind the mountain wall.

Immense strength!

Jiying!

Mountain-Crushing Strike!

The halberd in Jiang Lan's hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

Within this golden light, there were also some bluish-purple electric sparks.

"Roar—"

The herd of animals by the lake sensed the danger, but it was too late.

Jiang Lan's halberd moved with lightning speed, and before the group of ferocious beasts could react, it smashed into the head of the leading unicorn iron rhinoceros, which possessed the strength of a seventh-level Hengxing.

"boom!"

A huge explosion rang out, and the iron rhinoceros that was hit on the head was instantly torn to pieces, with even its horn flying far away.

But that's not all.

The aftershocks of this attack also severely injured the other two beasts that were originally beside the one-horned iron rhinoceros, leaving them lying on the ground barely alive.

Seeing this, the other ferocious beasts turned bloodshot and pounced on Jiang Lan.

Ferocious beasts are generally not very intelligent; even those that have reached the Eternal Star level can only barely communicate with each other.

But when faced with a sudden situation like the one before us, our animalistic instincts will quickly take over.

Therefore, when these monsters saw their companion die tragically, their first reaction was not to run away, but instead they all rushed towards Jiang Lan.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Lan showed no fear; instead, a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes.

Although his combat strength was considerable, his speed was only slightly faster than that of martial artists of the same level.

If these ferocious beasts escape, it would be difficult for him to chase them one by one.

But instead of fleeing, these ferocious beasts actually came to meet them.

This move was exactly what Jiang Lan wanted.

"Well done!"

Jiang Lan shouted, and the golden light of his battle halberd rose again.

With a flash of lightning, the halberd was suddenly swung out.

"boom!!!"

One strike, and the earth trembled.

This is within the Realm Lord's World. If this were on Earth, Jiang Lan's attack would probably be enough to raze an entire mountain range to the ground.

The first few ferocious beasts that charged forward were struck hard and died instantly.

The other ferocious beasts behind them continued to charge forward fearlessly.

Jiang Lan twitched the corners of her mouth and rose into the air.

The ferocious beasts behind him were about to rush up to him, and if he continued to fight, he might get injured.

Although his body's ability to heal and regenerate is now terrifyingly powerful.

But if we can avoid getting injured, that would be the best outcome.

Seeing that the ferocious beast's momentum had stopped, Jiang Lan swung his battle halberd once more.

Mountain-Crushing Strike!

A burst of golden light flashed, instantly engulfing the beast horde below.

"Boom boom boom!"

The explosion, accompanied by the crackling of lightning, resounded throughout the sky.

The water in Demon Moon Lake seemed to boil, splashing up to a height of tens of meters.

Jiang Lan's figure hovered in mid-air, like a god, looking down at the ground.

Once the waves subsided, the traces of the ferocious beasts from before were revealed.

The once ferocious beasts have now turned into corpses, lying haphazardly by the lake, their blood flowing out and almost staining the entire area red.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan smiled and landed on the ground.

[Items that can be sacrificed have been detected: 27 Fanged Crocodiles, 13 One-Horned Iron Rhinoceroses, and 12 Saber-Toothed Tigers. Would you like to sacrifice them?]

Upon hearing the system's prompt, Jiang Lan did not choose to sacrifice immediately, but instead went to the corpse of a one-horned iron rhinoceros.

He swung his halberd, and the rhinoceros horn on the head of the one-horned iron rhinoceros was instantly cut off by the golden-feathered halberd.

With a thought, Jiang Lan directly stored the rhinoceros horn into his spatial ring.

Regardless, this unicorn horn is one of the mission items for this trainee mercenary assessment.

It's better to keep one in advance.

Anyway, we've already tested it; even a crippled monster can be sacrificed.

After putting away his unicorn horn, Jiang Lan silently recited:

"Sacrifice".

[Sacrifice successful. Host has obtained 27 Body Tempering Pills, 12 Iron Rhinoceros Horns, 12 Saber-Toothed Tigers, and 1 Incomplete Iron Rhinoceros Horn.]

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow slightly.

There are no other rewards.

Fortunately, with this batch of Body Tempering Pills, it should be enough to raise his strength to the seventh level of the Hengxing realm.

As for the eighth level of the Hengxing realm, that's probably not enough.

After all, these few beast groups are still too few.

Moreover, their strength is not considered particularly strong.

However, Jiang Lan has no plans to go anywhere else for the time being.

After all, although the quality of monsters near Demon Moon Lake is not very good, the quantity is large and stable.

Even ferocious beasts are living beings, and all living beings need to drink water.

And this Demon Moon Lake is the only water source in the entire Solon Mountains.

Therefore, almost all the ferocious beasts near the Solon Mountains will come to Demon Moon Lake to fetch water.

So, all Jiang Lan had to do next was wait patiently for the opportunity to come to him.

They wait for the beasts to come to fetch water, and kill them all at once when a group comes.

It doesn't matter if the beast horde is weak.

As long as the difference isn't in a major level, quantity can still make up for it.

Even a large gap in cultivation level can be overcome if there are enough individuals.

For example, if Jiang Lan were given one hundred million Planetary-Rank 9 Body Tempering Pills, the energy contained within would be more than enough for him to reach the Universe-Rank level.

However, let's not even talk about whether he can get his hands on such a large quantity.

Even if he really manages to get it, how are we supposed to eat it?

One hundred million coins? Wouldn't that make him choke to death?

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan couldn't help but shudder. (End of Chapter)
