Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

A cold wind blew by, and the rain shower had just stopped.

The end of the year is fast approaching.

The weather in Anlan County is getting colder and colder.

Li Tianxing arrived at the edge of Pear Blossom Village.

He looked at the muddy ground and the bare pear trees, their former glory gone.

With a sigh:

"There's only one week left until the end of December."

Hopefully, life will get better next year.

Then, Li Tianxing took out the gold watch from his pocket and glanced at the time.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

"Come out, Xiao Qing!"

Li Tianxing spread his hands, and the small blue corpse gu emerged from his sleeve.

This little thing is much bigger than before, and its appearance is getting shinier.

It has a bright blue color.

However, it was still able to be well hidden inside Li Tianxing's clothes.

It flapped its wings in Li Tianxing's hands, showing its affection for its master.

Li Tianxing tapped its head with his finger:

"Xiaoqing, go!"

"Find all your companions, and I'll give you a good feast."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing happily flew into the woods.

Li Tianxing didn't need to deliberately search for its traces.

Because Li Tianxing is Xiaoqing's master, he and Xiaoqing are of one mind.

Li Tianxing will naturally know where Xiaoqing flies to when the time comes.

"I really want to know how to quickly improve the power of this Gu technique?"

I feel that if I could master the Gu technique to a minor level...

Then my strength will be even more terrifying!

Li Tianxing glanced at his Gu technique panel.

[Technique: Gu Poisoning Technique (Beginner)]

Progress: (13/100)

[Ability: Simple control over poison.]

"My progress in Gu techniques is very slow right now."

Besides relying on time, the only other thing we can do is get Xiaoqing to eat more.

It made it grow.

Currently, only the art of Gu poison is at an undeveloped level.

My shooting skills have reached a beginner level after I killed eight bandits last time.

Besides that, I also fish, read...

Both of these basic techniques are at a minor level of mastery.

The first skills learned, such as Zhenyue Yangxue Gong, Pisong Zhang, and Zhulang Gong, are also at the initial stage of mastery.

The Raging Waves Fist and the Flying Goose Martial Arts Technique that I learned later were both introductory stages.

However, after this period of continuous battles, they are only one step away from achieving minor success!

Also, before escorting goods, I often caught treasure fish.

This will cause both fishing and wave-riding skills to break through their current levels and enter the next stage!

After achieving a minor success, what level will I reach...?

Li Tianxing briefly assessed his own strength in his mind.

I believe that as long as I work steadily and diligently, my future will be bright!

The most important thing now is, of course, to find the whereabouts of the Holy Lord of the Pudu Church.

Fill your demon soul with the next skill!

"Little Green has already flown far away, let's follow it!"

Li Tianxing followed Xiaoqing's trail...

While silently sensing the location of the Holy Lord in his heart.

When Zhang Zhengqi was killed last time, his blood came into contact with him.

Therefore, there is now a mysterious connection between myself and the Holy Lord!

However, the two were far apart, and Li Tianxing could not sense its exact location...

……

"Xiaoqing's car stopped up ahead?"

Li Tianxing stood on the tree.

Looking into the distance, there is a small village, which should be the center of Pear Blossom Village.

At that moment, at the exit of the village, a caravan was loading goods.

Several brightly dressed foreigners stood beside the carriage.

There were four of them in total, two men and two women...

The two men were dressed in suits, which were pressed straight, and their hair was combed neatly.

Her full forehead and high brow bones were exposed.

The two women were wearing dark coats with fur scarves around their necks and gloves.

A woman with chestnut hair was very beautiful, with dazzlingly white skin.

The other woman had dark skin and some freckles on her face.

However, what they have in common is...

They exuded an air of superior arrogance.

As for the porters, they were dressed in tattered clothes.

They should be villagers from Lihua Village.

"The foreigners from Pear Blossom Village...are they leaving?"

Why are you leaving all of a sudden?

Could there be some hidden story?

Li Tianxing was somewhat puzzled.

He quietly jumped down from the tree and then activated the Demon Soul Flowing Light Acceleration.

He also utilized the Turtle Breathing and Mind-Calming ability from the Flying Goose Martial Arts Technique...

He completely controlled his breathing and heartbeat, concealing his presence.

They then went around into the village from the side.

He went into a house near the foreigners.

They pricked up their ears and began to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Li Tianxing slowed his breathing and carefully leaned against the wall.

It just rained, and there are still many puddles on the ground...

Using his ability to hear water, Li Tianxing was able to barely make out what the foreigners were saying.

These foreigners spoke quite loudly, making no attempt to avoid the voices of the workers carrying goods around them.

Because they speak a foreign language, the people of Lihua Village cannot understand it at all.

But Li Tianxing is different!

After all, they had received nine years of compulsory education and then endured three years of rigorous high school education...

A man who later went to university and was brutally beaten by society after graduation!

"Luckily, I was pretty good at Western languages ​​in my past life, otherwise I really wouldn't understand anything today!"

Li Tianxing mentally complained, then leaned against the wall.

Listen carefully to what the foreigners are saying.

The foreigners were talking in their own language:

"Cole, why are we suddenly being told to leave?"

"Isn't our research still ongoing?"

"I don't know, they said we absolutely have to leave before the end of the month..."

Otherwise, our lives might be in danger!

"Danger? What danger? Do you think these low-level people would dare to touch us?"

"I don't know, we'll just do whatever we're told."

"Damn it!"

If I had known I would be leaving suddenly, I would have applied for more funding for the event!

"The research on Gu worms has yielded some results, so let's head back now."

Upon hearing this, Li Tianxing frowned.

"These Gu worms were indeed developed by those damned foreigners!"

They probably distributed some of them to test the effects of the Gu worms.

This led to some corpses being controlled by the corpse worm.

Then we encountered zombies…”

Li Tianxing only heard the foreigners continue speaking:

"Since we're about to leave..."

Should we take all those Gu worms back or destroy them?

"You don't need to worry about that, I've already eliminated the mother Gu."

The remaining offspring won't live much longer either...

Anyway, the samples have all been kept.

If we take so many Gu worms back...

"If something goes wrong on the way and these Gu worms are released, we'll be in danger too!"

"Yes, the mother Gu is dead, so there's nothing to worry about."

The cat demon's corpse should also have been transported back to the upper level!

Selling even a small portion would bring in a huge sum of money!

These people at the bottom of society have no idea how valuable the corpses of demonic beasts are.

"Yes, they don't understand the wonderful uses of monster corpses at all."

The corpses of demonic beasts can not only be used to create Gu worms...

It can also be used to forge steel warriors!

I wonder what stage the higher-ups' research on this has reached.

Iron Warrior? What's that?

Iron Man?

Li Tianxing was very curious, so he continued listening.

"Unfortunately, we brought too little spiritual flesh, and it was all eaten up by the cat demon in just a few days."

"Don't worry about it, luckily we brought the spirit and flesh."

Otherwise, we might get eaten by the cat demon.

Stop feeling sorry for our bodies and souls; we're lucky to be alive!

Spirit and flesh? What are those?

It turns out the cat demon didn't eat these foreigners in Pear Blossom Village because they brought with them spiritual flesh!

Another question that puzzled Li Tianxing was answered. It seems that coming to Pear Blossom Village today was definitely the right decision!

Li Tianxing continued to listen attentively.

"Hehe, you didn't expect that, did you? I still retained a piece of my spiritual flesh!"

"Cole, you actually still have a piece of your spirit and flesh!"

To attract the cat demon's attention, we brought out all our spiritual flesh.

"You selfish person, you actually secretly kept a piece!"

"There's nothing I can do; this spiritual flesh is so precious, I just can't bear to part with it."

Just as several foreigners were arguing.

Suddenly, Li Tianxing heard another voice coming from inside the carriage, very close to him.

"Cole, are you guys still not done cleaning up?"

We need to get out of here quickly, understand?

There was actually another person inside the carriage?

Li Tianxing swallowed hard, not daring to move easily.

At first, he had no idea this person was there!

This illustrates one point.

This person's strength far surpasses mine!

Li Tianxing's heart pounded...

Fortunately, I had mastered the Flying Swallow Martial Arts Technique.

[Technique: The Graceful Martial Arts Manual (Beginner)]

Progress: (237/300)

[Ability: Turtle Breathing and Mind Stabilization.]

[Turtle Breathing and Mind Cultivation: Prolonged and deep breathing enhances control over the body, allows for preliminary introspection, and enables the concealment of breathing and heartbeat sounds, making it suitable for stealth in certain environments.]

Without the Turtle Breathing and Mind-Calming Technique from the Flying Swallow Martial Arts Manual...

I'm afraid I'm about to be discovered by the person in the carriage.

I still don't know the opponent's exact strength...

If you make contact with the other party rashly.

The consequences would be unimaginable!
