Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

Zhang Feng used the Soul Bead to lure the level-two flying Yin Beast to the mountainside of Storm Mountain, where it circled for nearly an hour.

After drawing a rough map on the animal hide, Zhang Feng lured the flying Yin Beast to the area where the first level-two Yin Beast was located.

This was an ice and snow platform, covered with a thick layer of snow. Hundreds of steps in, a man-made cave appeared before Zhang Feng.

Is this place inhabited?

Zhang Feng felt a sense of unease. To be able to climb to the mountainside of Stormy Mountain and even open up a cave here, one must possess great abilities.

We must be wary.

Perhaps because of the heavy snow and wind on the mountainside, there are almost no traces of human activity left here.

Zhang Feng took out a compass and used his soul power to sense the interior of the cave.

Two orbs of soul light, one green and one red, appeared in Zhang Feng's perception, and the compass also displayed the character "谰", clearly indicating that there were two living beings inside.

However, the color of the soul was clearly different from that of the Yinming Beast, leading Zhang Feng to guess that it might be a demon beast that had mistakenly entered the Yinming Land.

However, the fact that he didn't sense any living souls made Zhang Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, Zhang Feng knocked the flying Yin Beast unconscious with a punch. He would need it to find the Level 2 Yin Beast later, so he spared its life for now.

Zhang Feng brushed away the snow at the entrance of the cave, revealing its complete appearance.

It is about two feet wide and eight feet high, and can only allow one person to pass through at a time.

Holding the Shadow Sword, Zhang Feng activated the Soul Sensing Technique, and several Soul-Shocking Spikes also floated in front of him.

Zhang Feng groped his way inside. As he went further in, the cave suddenly widened, and the ground became damp and sticky to the soles of his shoes.

The range of the "Soul Sensing Technique" expanded, and the two orbs of soul light gradually became clearer.

Two orbs of soul light, one green and one red, resembling frog-like monsters, nestled together with their eyes closed.

Is this a demon beast that has fallen into a deep sleep?

Zhang Feng was somewhat puzzled. He walked closer, brushed away the snow burying their bodies, and revealed two frog-like monsters about two feet in size.

These two demonic beasts had their eyes closed, thin horns on their foreheads, and weak limbs. Only their bellies were swollen and fat, round and plump, making them look adorable.

She has a rather unique appearance.

Zhang Feng looked at the two unfamiliar demonic beasts. Judging from their appearance, they did not seem to be demonic beasts from the Chaotic Star Sea. They must have wandered into the Netherworld from other regions.

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Feng discovered golden animal tokens hidden beneath the heads of the two beasts' necks.

Horned Frog!

It is indeed a cultivator's spirit pet.

Zhang Feng continued searching inside the cave and finally found a skeleton in the deepest part of the cave.

After lighting the flames, Zhang Feng carefully examined the man. His face was pale, indicating that he had inhaled too much mist and was also frozen by the cold wind. The body showed no signs of decay, and his soul power could not be detected, indicating that he had been dead for a long time.

This person is most likely a cultivator who has mistakenly entered the Netherworld, and he also has the ability to climb to the waist of Storm Mountain, so he is not a simple character.

Zhang Feng examined the man's belongings and found a storage bag and a spirit beast bag hanging from his waist, as well as a beast-taming token around his neck.

After collecting the man's belongings, Zhang Feng dug a pit and buried the man's remains.

According to the unwritten rules of the cultivation world, he took the reward and collected the body.

As for the two star frogs, Zhang Feng guessed that they should be this person's spirit pets. However, since they did not betray their master after his death, they were indeed two good spirit pets.

Zhang Feng took out the Beast Taming Token and probed it with his soul power. Sure enough, there was a trace of the two frogs' souls inside, but the main position was empty.

It is clear that after the death of the two frogs' master, the main body's controlling soul was missing.

Spirit pets controlled by soul power are rare; generally, spirit pets can only establish a connection by being fed with the cultivator's blood and sweat.

Zhang Feng once obtained a beast-taming manual called "The Art of Demon Taming" from Huang Tiangu, which detailed two methods of beast taming.

Zhang Feng was afraid that Huang Tiangu might have hidden tricks in his cultivation technique, and he also didn't have a suitable spirit pet.

I've been studying it for a long time but haven't actually practiced it yet; now it might be worth a try.

Once the main soul is replenished, it should be able to control these two level-two demonic beasts.

Zhang Feng thought for a moment, then separated a wisp of his soul and infused it into the Beast Taming Token.

A slight pain flashed through Zhang Feng's mind as he felt his divided soul being slowly absorbed by the divided souls of the two demonic beasts.

There was a faint connection in the soul power perception.

Zhang Feng then walked toward the two hibernating star frogs.

It is unknown how long the cultivator has been dead, but judging from the fact that both demonic beasts have fallen into a deep sleep to reduce their energy consumption, he has been dead for quite some time.

These two beasts seemed to have lost their soul power supply and had no choice but to fall into a deep sleep.

That is to say...

Zhang Feng took out the gray soul bead he had refined from his storage bag, squeezed it open with his fingers to turn it into two, and stuffed them into the mouths of the two beasts respectively.

"Croak~" *2

A moment later, two deafening shouts echoed throughout the cave.

Ah!

Its call was full of energy, indicating that it had eaten its fill.

Zhang Feng nodded and channeled his soul power into the Beast Taming Token.

Whoosh!

Two pink, fleshy tongues suddenly shot out and flew straight towards the Beast Taming Token in Zhang Feng's hand.

They are certainly ferocious!

Zhang Feng smiled slightly, flipped his left hand and grabbed the two elastic tongues in his hand.

With a sudden, forceful pull of his left arm, the two star-shaped frogs shot into the sky.

The "Soul Fixation Technique" is cast simultaneously.

The two frogs were suddenly like geese being grabbed by the neck, their bodies suspended in the air, unable to move.

The soul power was suddenly injected into the Beast Taming Token, almost bursting the souls of the two demons.

"Croak!"

The star frog's body trembled violently, clearly unable to hold on any longer.

Until the two frogs' limbs convulsed violently, their hind legs straightened, and they were about to lose their breath.

Zhang Feng stopped and put down the frog's tongue that he was holding.

With a thud, the star frog landed, flipped over, its belly turned white, and its tongue lolled out, looking like it had been thoroughly played with.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Feng took out the black soul bead he had refined and waved it in front of Erwa.

The two frogs, whose bellies had been turned white, suddenly flipped over and stared intently at the soul bead in Zhang Feng's hand.

His body moved as the soul bead in Zhang Feng's hand swayed.

It seems that these two frogs have been starving for a long time since their previous owner died; they were already thinking about eating again after they had just finished eating.

"Be a good girl and you'll get a Soul Pearl!"

Zhang Feng shook the Soul Bead in his hand and once again activated the Beast Taming Token. As expected, the two frogs obeyed and began to move.

In other words, this place is a dark and gloomy place, where spiritual power cannot be used. If spiritual power could be used, the remaining spiritual power of the previous cultivator in the two frogs' bodies could be directly erased.

If you refine the Beast Taming Token again with spiritual power, it will be much easier to control.

Zhang Feng no longer needed to go through all those troubles to tame them.

"One is green, and one is red, so let's call you Little Green and Little Red!"

"Come, let me see what supernatural powers you possess that allow cultivators to carry you up Storm Mountain!"

Zhang Feng urged the two star frogs to attack the stone table beside him.

"Croak!"

To Zhang Feng's slightly surprised gaze, Xiao Qing's mouth suddenly opened wide, like an inflated balloon, its volume instantly increasing several times, and she swallowed the stone table whole.

This is……

Zhang Feng looked pleasantly surprised, as he knew that monsters usually used their stomachs as storage places.

But I really didn't expect that Xiao Qing, who was only two feet tall, could swallow a three-foot-square stone table whole without deforming its size at all.

Clearly, this is not the limit of Xiaoqing's stomach.

"Croak!"

Xiaoqing spat out the stone table again, jumped in front of Zhang Feng, and let out a howl.

Considering that the Soul-Crying Beast in the animation could change its form, Zhang Feng speculated that Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong's current size was probably not their original form.

So Zhang Feng led the two beasts outside the cave to see their true size.

"Croak!"

Before Zhang Feng could react, Xiao Qing's body suddenly swelled to tens of feet in size, and with a flick of her tongue, she swallowed the unconscious flying beast into her belly.

bad!

The mount was swallowed by the newly acquired spirit pet.
