In chaotic times, skill points are added: from hunter to martial saint, only killing and no mercy!

"This is the work of the Kurokazuchi again!"

Li Yi stood outside a forest, looking at the withered and decaying trees with indignation on his face.

In the mountains and forests, a series of strange beasts with scarlet eyes were charging toward Li Yi as if their lives depended on it.

Seeing this, Li Yi gripped the Seven Killings Cold Bow tightly and said in a deep voice:

"Form ranks!"

"Here you go!"

Instantly, hundreds of soldiers gripped their broadswords and formed a battle formation using the [Combined Combat Technique], their blades pointing straight at the dense forest.

A moment later, dozens of exotic wolves, each with decades of cultivation, rushed out of the dense forest and charged straight at the army formation.

"cut!"

The soldiers, facing the ferocious wolf monster, suddenly swung their broadswords, unleashing sharp blade energy that left wounds on the beast's body.

"Awoo~"

With a sharp howl, a powerful white wolf leaped out of the dense forest.

The Two-Hundred-Year-Old Wolf King

Looking at the information provided by the skill [Demon Identification], Li Yi's gaze sharpened slightly.

This dense forest was poisoned by the evil cultivators of the Black Wind Sect with Spirit Transformation Powder. The wolf pack within was activated by the evil drug and transformed into ferocious wolves. The wolf king, who was already a beast, was directly induced to reach the realm of a demon beast.

"He's barely reached the level of a demon beast."

Li Yi glanced at it, then immediately raised the Seven Kill Cold Bow and unleashed the [Breaking Army Triple Kill] technique. Three iron arrows, imbued with arrow intent, locked onto the wolf king who was leaping and fleeing through the mountains and forests.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

As the sound of the arrow faded, the wolf king was struck in a vital spot by the iron arrow, twitched a few times, and died instantly.

Meanwhile, the dozens of exotic wolves under his command were gradually wiped out by the army's fierce attack.

After slaying all the monsters and demons in the dense forest, Li Yi took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his waist and signaled his guards to scatter it in the forest.

As for the soldiers of the Wind Tiger Camp, they skillfully gathered the corpses of the strange beasts together, skinned them, removed their tendons, and cut open their abdomens to extract their elixir.

Since the Black Wind Sect's stronghold was discovered and the matter of the Spirit Transformation Powder was conveyed to General Guan, the entire Yanmen Pass region has gradually fallen into chaos.

The Black Wind Sect cultivators, skilled in extraordinary craftsmanship, appeared and disappeared unpredictably, scattering large quantities of Spirit Transformation Powder in various places.

Under the catalysis of these spirit-transforming powders, a large number of strange beasts were born. These beasts, catalyzed by the evil medicine, were extremely ferocious.

After slaughtering all the creatures in their habitat, they rushed out of the mountains and valleys, constantly attacking nearby villages and towns, as well as auxiliary troops transporting logistical supplies.

The powder that Li Yi had his guards sprinkle was a secret medicine sent by General Guan, specifically designed to neutralize the effects of the Spirit-Dissolving Powder.

In addition to the rampage caused by a large number of strange beasts, the Qing Kingdom has also sent a large army to reinforce the area. At this moment, there are as many as 70,000 Qing Kingdom troops in the entire Yanmen Pass region!

In addition to besieging Yanmen Pass, these large armies were divided into smaller units that constantly harassed the surrounding fortresses and passes.

Under these circumstances, Li Yi ordered Liu Ye to lead two thousand cavalry and archers to defend against the attacks of the Qing Kingdom's army.

He himself led five hundred soldiers to personally deal with these rampaging beasts.

With Li Yi leading the Wind Tiger Battalion in a strong suppression, the entire Qiufeng Pass area is currently still within a controllable range.

As the soldiers moved, demon cores were taken out and placed in boxes. Wolf skins and claws were sorted and prepared to be taken back to the military camp to be made into weapons and equipment.

"My lord, this is the wolf king's inner core!"

A guard presented Li Yi with a wooden box containing the inner core of a two-hundred-year-old wild wolf king.

Seeing this, Li Yi didn't stand on ceremony and directly took the inner core.

After resolving the problem in this dense forest, the group, led by Li Yi, headed towards the next place where strange beasts were causing trouble.

Riding on Red Hare, Li Yi gazed at the desolate landscape around him, his mind filled with a whirlwind of thoughts.

"Transform experience!"

As Li Yi's thoughts raced, the inner core of the wolf king in his arms turned white and vanished into ashes in the wind.

[Gained 200 experience points for identifying demons!]

Li Yi turned his attention to the skill panel. After gaining 200 experience points, his secondary skill, [Demon Identification], was also upgraded.

As this skill improved, Li Yi acquired a wealth of knowledge about mythical beasts.

A brand new skill quietly appeared on Li Yi's skill panel.

【Demon Taming (Beginner): 5/100】

[Effect: Gains the ability to control demonic beasts and can form a contract with one!]

"This skill, which evolved from [Demon Identification], is actually this powerful?"

After understanding the function of this skill, Li Yi instantly had some ideas.

If one were to cultivate this skill to a high level, one might be able to control many demonic beasts and build a demonic beast army!

Thinking of this, Li Yi felt extremely excited and immediately ordered his subordinates to retrieve all the captured demon beast cores, intending to convert them into experience to boost the progress of his [Demon Control] skill.

However, this skill is of a very high level; a fifty-year-old beast core can only be converted into five experience points!

However, with Li Yi's relentless investment, the progress of the [Demon Taming] skill continued to improve, and Li Yi also mastered the ability to contract with exotic beasts!

For several days in a row, Li Yi traveled to various places to quell the rampaging monsters.

咻咻 咻 ~

Once again, the [Triple Kill] was unleashed, and a mythical eagle, which had soared into the sky in an attempt to escape, flapped its wings and descended from the heavens.

"Over there!"

Li Yi focused his attention and saw his soldiers forming a battle formation, gradually annihilating a group of monkeys. He then picked up the Seven Kill Cold Bow and ventured alone into the mountains and forests.

This mountain forest is home to a large number of fruit trees, and the air is filled with the fragrance of fruit.

Following the trail, Li Yi quickly arrived at a valley in the mountains.

This is where the monkeys live. The strange eagle that Li Yi shot is now lying in the valley, lifeless.

"It smells so good!"

As soon as Li Yi entered the valley, he smelled the aroma of fruit and wine.

"Is this monkey wine?"

Smelling the unique fragrance, Li Yi's heart stirred, and he immediately used the [Reconnaissance and Concealment] skill to search in the valley.

Soon, Li Yi arrived at the foot of a large tree.

Looking up, I saw a small hole about ten meters down the tree trunk.

A thought struck Li Yi, and with a few quick movements, he leaped onto a tree branch and stood near the cave entrance.

As you get closer to the cave entrance, the fragrance becomes even stronger.

Li Yi peeked inside and saw jars of wine preserved in bamboo tubes inside the tree hole.

【Ten-Year Monkey Wine is brewed by the exotic ape using dozens of wild fruits and stored for ten years in a place rich in spiritual energy. Drinking it can refresh the mind and enhance cultivation!】

"This is really good stuff!"

Looking at the jars of monkey wine, Li Yi was overjoyed and reached out to take them out.

But the next moment, Li Yi sensed something was wrong and turned to look at the corner of the tree.

"What is it?"

With a whoosh, Li Yi jumped down from the tree branch and rushed to a bush at the mouth of the valley in a few steps.

"come out!"

Li Yi's body surged with true energy, and his powerful aura even pressed down the bushes.

A moment later, with a creak, a small, snow-white beast emerged from the bushes.

Li Yi looked up and was momentarily stunned. He then took a step forward and reached out to grab the little beast.

Faced with Li Yi's fierce aura, the snow-white little beast actually knelt down on the ground, looking at Li Yi pitifully and pleading with its paws outstretched.

Seeing this, Li Yi couldn't help but smile.

"As expected of a spirit fox, its intelligence is truly remarkable!"

Under the [Demon Identification] skill, Li Yi immediately spotted the snow-white little beast's tracks.

[A hundred-year-old snow fox, possessing the bloodline of a nine-tailed spirit fox, is extremely skilled in stealth and tracking, and has considerable talent in illusion magic!]

During his travels to various places to eliminate strange beasts, this snow-white spirit fox was the most talented and strongest demon beast that Li Yi encountered.

Seeing the beautiful snow fox begging for mercy, Li Yi's heart stirred.

This snow fox is now intelligent, and its talent and bloodline are also extraordinary. Why don't I take it in as my tamed beast?

After all, this snow fox had just managed to evade my detection briefly thanks to its talent, and almost escaped from this valley.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Yi's desire to subdue the snow fox grew stronger and stronger.

"Little one, would you like to come with me?"

Li Yi squatted down, looked at the snow fox, and asked gently.

Upon hearing this, the snow fox stopped its claws that had been waving and begging for mercy, and looked at Li Yi with surprise, a thoughtful expression constantly appearing in its bright eyes.

A moment later, the snow fox turned its gaze and landed on the bamboo tube in Li Yi's hand.

Seeing this, Li Yi couldn't help but smile and waved the bamboo tube in his hand.

As the bamboo tube swayed, a fruity aroma wafted out.

"You want this? No problem!"

Li Yi placed the bamboo tube containing the ten-year-old monkey wine directly in front of the snow fox.

"As long as you're willing to come with me, I'll have all sorts of good things, like monkey wine!"

Perhaps sensing Li Yi's sincerity, Xuehu hesitated for a moment before nodding firmly and looking at Li Yi with a determined gaze.

Seeing this, Li Yi understood Xuehu's thoughts.

"Alright, in that case, relax and clear your mind!"

Li Yi whispered, bit his finger until it bled, squeezed out a bead of blood, and stuck it to the snow fox's forehead.

The [Beast Taming] skill activates instantly!

With the experience gained from converting a large number of demon beast inner cores, Li Yi has now mastered the [Beast Taming] skill to a basic level, enabling him to contract with exotic beasts.

With the [Beast Taming] skill enhanced, the blood from Li Yi's fingertip continued to seep into the snow fox's forehead.

Before long, the blood had completely merged into the snow fox's body.

Li Yi closed his eyes and sensed that there was an unseen connection linking him to the snow fox.

The contract is done!

Through the contract, Li Yi can easily perceive the Snow Fox's thoughts and command it to do things. In turn, the Snow Fox can more easily understand Li Yi's orders, and under the control of the contract, the Snow Fox cannot do anything to harm Li Yi.

"Alright, drink up!"

Looking at the strange beast that had signed a contract with him and become his servant, Li Yi generously let it enjoy the bamboo tube of monkey wine all to itself.

Watching the snow fox carefully drink a sip of wine, Li Yi felt a slight stirring in his heart.

"Since you've followed me, you should have a name."

"Seeing that you are all white and possess the bloodline of a nine-tailed spirit fox, why not name you Lingxue?"
