Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

"Big brother, second brother, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have disregarded our sibling bond for the sake of the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"Please, elder brothers, for the sake of our sibling bond, rescue your little sister!"

The tranquil stone forest was suddenly filled with Li Xiaomei's desperate cries for mercy.

"No, we're cousins, not related."

The Li brothers remained unmoved and planned to watch the show from the sidelines.

Zhang Feng pondered to himself, thinking about the two fire-scaled beasts and the three Li siblings.

Even though he himself had practiced martial arts for ordinary people, he was still not easy to deal with.

Besides, since spiritual energy cannot be used and the strength of the enemy is unknown, it's best to remain on the sidelines and observe.

However, their loud conversation just now might have attracted an attack from the Fire-Scaled Beasts.

He only needs to wait patiently and seize the opportunity to escape quietly.

"No, no, brothers, I still have a use. The situation here is unknown, so it would be good for me to stay and explore."

Li Xiaomei moved nimbly, clinging to the stone forest, to evade the pursuit of the Fire-Scaled Beast.

Perhaps it was Li Xiaomei's last words that moved the two brothers, who pondered for a moment.

"Brother, what my little sister said makes sense. The situation here is unknown."

Besides, if we can live, then that Zhang guy can live too.

It would be better to leave the little sister behind, whether to deal with this monster or to guard against Zhang Feng.

"It's always good to have one more person!"

"rational."

Since they cannot use their divine sense to communicate, the two can only communicate through sound.

His voice was deep and steady, his thoughts were clear, and he showed no signs of the tension one might feel when lost in the unknown.

The two of them were quite composed.

Zhang Feng pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Oh no! If the three of them team up, he alone probably won't be a match for them.

Moreover, the fact that the two of them are so calm and composed suggests that they may also possess martial arts skills.

Zhang Feng felt around with his left hand, checking his belt and chest for hidden weapons and poisons.

"Li Keng, Li Qiang, why aren't you making a move? Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too!"

Perhaps driven to desperation by the Fire Kirin Beast, the younger sister of the Li family led the Fire Kirin Beast toward the hiding place of the two brothers.

The firelight illuminated the place where the two were hiding.

"You bastard, Li Ning, are you trying to get us all killed?!"

The two were immediately alarmed. Ignoring the younger sister of the Li family, they hurriedly retreated into the dark, trying to hide again.

Zhang Feng seized the opportunity and, taking advantage of the fleeting flash of light, threw out the hidden weapon in his hand.

Whoosh!

A flash of cold light, and a small flying blade traced an arc, slicing open half of a person's neck and wedging into the cervical bone.

Bang!

A figure clutched his neck and suddenly collapsed, the momentum of his movement causing his body to slam hard against the uneven stone pillar.

The flying sword in his hand fell to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere!

In the distance, another Fire-Scaled Beast suddenly raised its head to devour its prey.

"Second brother! Second brother! What's wrong? Hurry up, don't stop!"

Li Keng darted several feet away and stopped, only to find his second brother still lying motionless in the same spot.

Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Li Ning leading the Fire Kirin Beast about to rush to Li Keng's side. Without thinking twice, he quickly ran away.

"roar!"

The two fire-scaled beasts began chasing Li Ning at the same time.

"Thank you, Second Brother..."

Li Ning ran to Li Qiang's side, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized that Li Qiang was lying motionless on the ground, the air thick with the smell of blood, and the ground was soaked with blood.

"There are still people!"

Li Ning cursed under his breath, bent down and picked up the flying sword from Li Qiang's hand. He used the tip of the sword to pick up something, then turned around and directly blocked the pounce of the Fire Scale Beast behind him.

Stab it!

Claws clashed with sword, sending Li Ning flying backward. Using the momentum, she turned and tried to chase after Li Keng in the direction he had fled.

This Li Ning is clearly skilled in martial arts, but he is unable to retrieve his magical artifact from his storage bag and is therefore unarmed, which is why he is being chased by the Fire Kirin Beast.

This woman cannot be let go, otherwise she will become a future problem. We must strike first.

Without hesitation, Zhang Feng took advantage of Li Ning's turn and threw out a second flying blade, aiming straight for her head.

A cold glint flashed!

With a clang, Li Ning, still on guard against a sneak attack, knocked away Zhang Feng's flying blade with her flying sword.

Whoosh!

Zhang Feng looked down, and a flying blade was embedded in the soil and rocks beside him.

Such keen perception.

Zhang Feng sighed inwardly. This Li Ning had actually sensed the sneak attack the moment she examined Li Qiang's body and even took the flying blade.

The opponent detected Zhang Feng's position the instant he launched his sneak attack and counterattacked.

We can't let her escape.

Just as Zhang Feng was about to get up and chase after him, he suddenly remembered his experience panel.

Moreover, there were two fire-scaled beasts chasing after this person.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Feng calmed himself down, pulled the flying blade off the soil and rocks above his head, and quietly concealed himself.

While Li Ning lured the two fire-scaled beasts away, Zhang Feng quietly left in the opposite direction.

A moment later, a large group of Fire-Scaled Beasts, led by a ferocious-looking Yin Beast, arrived at the area where the group had been.

After the leading Yin Beast extended its tongue to sense the surrounding area, it led the herd away in one direction.

As Zhang Feng felt the tremors of the beast horde's footsteps receding into the distance behind him, he quickened his pace.

They even went so far as to expend great effort to use footwork techniques from ordinary martial arts.

Zhang Feng quickly moved away from the center of the stone forest.

Guided by the eerie blue flames in the darkness, Zhang Feng finally reached the edge of the stone forest and saw the gloomy sky of the Netherworld.

call out!

A bone arrow struck the ground half a step in front of Zhang Feng, its fletching vibrating with a buzzing sound due to the immense force applied to it.

So fast, so far.

If this arrow had been aimed at Zhang Feng's forehead, he would probably have died on the spot.

"Halt! This is the exit of the Huangtu Village hunting grounds. Which village are you from? State your name!"

Zhang Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the exit was directly opposite a columnar high platform rock.

A young man dressed in simple animal skin clothing stood on it, holding a bow and arrow, in the posture of nocking a bow and shooting an arrow.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng dared not lower his guard and reached for the throwing blade at his waist with his left hand:

"My name is Zhang Feng, and I'm not from around here!"

After a moment's thought, recalling the customs of the villages in the underworld from his past life, Zhang Feng decided to tell the truth.

"Hmph! Judging from your clothes and appearance, I know you're not a local. You must be someone who has wandered in from the outside world! Your attire makes you look like a cultivator."

"However, here, cultivators are no different from mortals."

"If you had been arrogant and refused to tell the truth just now, my bone arrow would have pierced your skull."

"My name is Huang Tianhe, and I'm from Huangtu Village."

Huang Tianhe's attitude was not very friendly, and he only revealed his name at the very end.

Huangtu Village?

Upon hearing the unfamiliar village name, Zhang Feng was initially puzzled, but then understood.

No matter how well a novel by a writer of delusions of grandeur is written, it is still just a novel and cannot possibly cover every detail.

But I have come to a real world of cultivation, where there are bound to be many unknowns.

"Alright, since you're an outsider cultivator, come back to Huangtu Village with me!"

"Grandpa Village Chief said that the village lacks cultivators to maintain the formation, and you can come in handy."

Before Zhang Feng could ask, Huang Tianhe forcibly arranged Zhang Feng's whereabouts.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng frowned slightly, but quickly composed himself.

It's worth visiting Huangtu Village; it's an ordinary village, so at least its safety is guaranteed.

The most urgent task is to find a safe place as soon as possible to experiment with my panel.

Seeing Zhang Feng following behind him without saying a word or asking any questions, Huang Tianhe couldn't help but purse his lips.

"Tch, another arrogant cultivator."

Without any attempt to avoid suspicion, Huang Tianhe spoke his mind frankly.

Zhang Feng couldn't hold back any longer and broke into a smile.

This person is quite interesting.

"Thank you for telling me your name, young friend. Could you please tell me more about your Huangtu Village?"

Zhang Feng bowed respectfully and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Huang Tianhe immediately beamed with joy...
