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

Chapter 28 Use my halberd to mine your little gold mine

It was evening.

As the monster's corpse in front of him slowly disappeared, Jiang Lan opened his system inventory.

On the second row of the backpack, ten Body Tempering Pills were neatly arranged in a row.

With a thought, all ten Body Tempering Pills disappeared from his backpack and appeared in Jiang Lan's hand.

He shoved the pill directly into his mouth, and the body-tempering pill transformed into a stream of heat that flowed through Jiang Lan's limbs and bones.

Two minutes later, the heat dissipated completely.

Jiang Lan glanced around and her gaze settled on a section of brick wall that was already somewhat dilapidated.

He took two steps forward and threw a punch at the brick wall in front of him.

"Bang!"

A visible shockwave emanated from the point of contact between Jiang Lan's fist and the brick wall.

The brick wall clearly couldn't withstand the enormous force, and a large hole was blasted through it. Broken bricks flew everywhere, landing on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Jiang Lan withdrew her hand, looked down slightly at her fist, and muttered uncertainly:

"fifty thousand?"

After nearly a day, he had hunted down a total of eighty-two monsters, but most of them were beast soldiers, with only two beast generals.

One of them was a golden vulture, and the other was a unicorn boar of the rank of junior beast general.

Contrary to his expectations, the density of monsters in this county-level city was even lower than in the place Yao Rao had taken him to before.

The reason is probably that this county-level city, number 0201, is relatively close to the supply base of the Southeast Military Region.

If there were more monsters, Jiang Lan's hunting speed could reach another level.

Killing is easy; it's over with a swift stroke of the halberd.

The time wasted was the process of searching for the monster.

After being modified by the RR virus, the monster's physical abilities were greatly enhanced, but the instincts ingrained in its genes remained unchanged.

Monsters usually mark their territory.

In other words, an area is usually the territory of a certain monster.

This results in the monsters being distributed rather loosely.

Even with Jiang Lan's speed, it would take several minutes to find a monster.

Moreover, there are many other martial arts teams in this county-level city.

Sometimes, when Jiang Lan arrived at a destination, he would find that the other team was already locked in a fierce battle with the monster.

In situations like this, Jiang Lan would usually choose to leave and look for other targets.

His main goal right now is to improve his own strength as soon as possible; he doesn't want to cause trouble.

In the time it takes to argue, you could have killed several more monsters.

Jiang Lan slowly exhaled and looked towards the center of the county town.

That area has many tall buildings, so the monsters there are likely to be even stronger overall.

Actually, he wanted to go to the center of the county town from the beginning, but after encountering the golden vulture, Jiang Lan changed his mind.

A bird-like monster at the level of a low-ranking beast general almost injured him.

There must be even stronger monsters inside the county town, so Jiang Lan finally decided to first improve his strength on the outskirts of the county town, and then head to the center of the county town once his strength had improved sufficiently.

After a day of hunting, Jiang Lan felt that it was about time.

He conservatively estimated that his punching power had now reached around 50,000 kilograms, and his speed had reached nearly 300 meters per second.

Even so, this is without activating Shadow Strike.

Jiang Lan had just tested it; if he activated Swift Shadow, he could easily break the speed of sound and produce a sonic boom.

The speed threshold for a beginner-level War God is 340 meters per second, just breaking the sound barrier.

In other words, Jiang Lan's current speed at full power is comparable to that of a martial artist who has just entered the initial stage of the War God realm.

The improvement from 200 meters to 340 meters doesn't seem that outrageous.

But you should know that Jiang Lan accomplished all of this in less than a day!

Let alone YZ City, even on the entire planet, who has such an outrageous rate of progress?

At this rate, it won't be long before his physical abilities reach the level of a high-level war god.

While breaking through to the God of War level is difficult, it definitely won't take more than a month.

Jiang Lan smiled and continued walking towards the center of the county town.

But before he could take two steps, a beastly roar faintly reached his ears.

Jiang Lan paused, then groped her way toward the direction from which the sound came.

Five seconds later, Jiang Lan stopped at the side of a building on a corner, pressed against the wall, and peered out.

Although it was already evening and the sky was dark, after becoming a martial artist, not only had his physical fitness improved, but Jiang Lan's five senses had also improved to varying degrees, so seeing things clearly was still no problem.

About two hundred meters ahead of him, he saw a dozen or so cattle-like monsters, each the size of an off-road vehicle, gathered together.

The lead one was significantly larger than the others, standing over three meters tall and measuring six or seven meters in length.

A herd of wild bulls!

Jiang Lan's eyes lit up, but he didn't rush out immediately. Instead, he looked around.

After confirming that there were no other martial arts teams around, he left the corner and charged towards the herd of cattle, halberd in hand.

In less than a second, Jiang Lan appeared in the center of the herd of cattle.

The halberd is like the scythe of death; each swing can end the life of a monster.

Five seconds later, the battle ended.

Jiang Lan was too fast; the cattle didn't even have time to react, let alone resist.

Even in death, the beast-general-level raging bull didn't realize what had happened.

[Sacrificeable item detected: Wild Bull (carcass). Do you wish to perform the sacrifice?]

I'll give it all!

[Sacrifice successful. Host has obtained 1 Body Tempering Pill (Raging Bull).]

[Sacrifice successful. Host has obtained 1 Body Tempering Pill (Raging Bull).]

[Sacrifice successful...]

After the notification sound ended, Jiang Lan had a thought, and the system inventory interface appeared.

A total of fifteen Body Tempering Pills lay quietly in the backpack, looking quite pleasing.

Jiang Lan took out the Body Tempering Pill and put it in his mouth, and his physical fitness improved once again.

Clenching his fist and feeling the surging power within him, Jiang Lan felt a sense of unreality.

With this kind of power boost, even riding a rocket wouldn't be much different, right?

At this rate of improvement, if we spend ten days to half a month in the wilderness, won't we just be flying straight to the sky?

Forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jiang Lan continued walking towards the center of the county town.

This herd of wild cattle was a pleasant surprise; it's not something you can easily encounter.

Jiang Lan had spent a whole day in this county-level city, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

As darkness fell, he raised his wristwatch and glanced at it.

It is now 7:30 pm.

The dilapidated city was shrouded in darkness, a faint smell of blood lingered in the air, and from time to time, howls could be heard in the distance, making people feel uneasy.

Even Jiang Lan's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.

However, his heart was racing not because of fear, but because of excitement.

In his view, this wilderness area was not a den of demons at all, but clearly a gold mine waiting to be mined!

Wait until your brother uses his halberd to dig out your little gold!
