"Holy crap!"

The System's sudden notification delighted Xiao Han immensely. Simply earning Little Fairy Doctor's recognition had given him a thousand Experience Points and a reward of one hundred Energy Points.

"Haha, now I have enough Energy Points to fuse combat skills."

To fuse combat skills, one first had to raise them to the realm of Great Perfection. After that, one still had to pay a certain amount of Energy Points.

Now that Xiao Han had gained one hundred Energy Points, he could naturally begin fusing combat skills.

However, Xiao Han did not act impulsively. He had not forgotten that traveling to other planes required paying one hundred Energy Points. If he encountered danger, those one hundred Energy Points could save his life.

"What are you laughing about?" A curious glint filled Little Fairy Doctor's eyes as she watched the smiling Xiao Han, the corners of her lips curling upward.

"Nothing. Let's see what's inside the other stone box!" Xiao Han held the black key and inserted it into the metal latch.

Click.

As the metal latch sprang open, Little Fairy Doctor impatiently lifted the lid of the stone box. Inside the box was yet another scroll.

"How boring. Couldn't the owner of this cave hide something besides scrolls?" Little Fairy Doctor pursed her lips and handed the scroll to Xiao Han. "You can have this one. It's a sound-wave combat skill."

"Mm."

Xiao Han accepted the scroll, gave it a casual glance, then stored it in the System Inventory. He called out, "Let's go. We've taken everything in the cave. Judging by the time, it's about time we headed back."

"Aren't we going to look around some more? There seems to be some information about the cave owner's identity on the stone wall outside." Little Fairy Doctor asked curiously.

"Not interested." With both hands in his pockets, Xiao Han walked toward the cave entrance. He then climbed up the cliff along the vines.

Caw!

When Xiao Han and Little Fairy Doctor emerged, they found a completely blue giant eagle not far away. The giant eagle was quite large, about the size of a motorcycle.

Upon seeing Xiao Han and Little Fairy Doctor, the giant eagle let out a sharp, threatening cry. It flapped its wings, trying to take to the sky, but it lacked the strength. One of its wings bore a conspicuous gash, apparently inflicted by something that had badly wounded it. Blood flowed continuously from the wound.

"Haha, looks like we can have a good meal today."

Delighted, Xiao Han stepped forward. However, a white figure moved ahead of him, grabbing his arm and softly protesting, "It's already injured, and you still want to eat it? Don't you have any conscience at all?"

"Uh..."

Xiao Han clicked his tongue inwardly.

While he hesitated, Little Fairy Doctor had already stepped forward. She tore off a corner of her dress and took out a small bottle.

Caw!

Seeing Little Fairy Doctor approach, the Blue Giant Eagle gave another sharp warning cry. It spread its wings, already prepared to fight.

"Little fellow, don't be afraid. I'm applying medicine for you, not trying to hurt you."

Little Fairy Doctor smiled warmly, making her gaze as gentle as possible.

The Blue Giant Eagle seemed to understand Little Fairy Doctor's words. Its adorable little head looked at her, then at the bottle in her hand. Yet it remained wary throughout, though it did not take the initiative to attack her.

"So this was how Little Fairy Doctor met the Blue Eagle!"

Only then did Xiao Han recall that Little Fairy Doctor had always had a Blue Giant Eagle by her side.

Darkness gradually encroached upon the earth. At some point, a silver moon had playfully revealed half its face amid the clouds.

"It's getting dark, Xiao Han," Little Fairy Doctor reminded him.

"Mm." Xiao Han nodded solemnly.

Nighttime in the Demon Beast Forest was far more dangerous than daytime. Some nocturnal beasts had already begun prowling through the forest. After leaving the poison master's cave dwelling, Xiao Han and Little Fairy Doctor had yet to find a suitable campsite. In a primeval forest, that was definitely a dangerous sign.

Under the dim light, a man, a woman, and an eagle moved through the dense woods.

Fortunately, after they continued onward for a while, their view suddenly opened up. Before them, a massive waterfall crashed down from a lofty mountain peak beneath the moonlight like a silver ribbon. Its thunderous roar rang without end.

On either side of the waterfall, the mountain walls were extremely steep. By the light of the moon, a pitch-black cave could vaguely be seen in the cliff face.

Xiao Han and the Little Fairy Doctor exchanged a glance and quickened their pace. Once they reached the cave entrance and went inside to inspect it, they found no signs of beast activity. The two of them immediately fetched some large stones and pieces of wood, blocking off most of the entrance while leaving behind a crude one-sided wooden door.

With these simple precautions, they no longer had to worry about waking up to find a beast right in front of them, staring at them with hungry, predatory eyes.

"We'll rest here for the night. Tomorrow morning, I'll escort you out of the Demon Beast Forest," Xiao Han said, seemingly talking to himself. Without waiting for the Little Fairy Doctor's response, he took out the Moonlight Stone he had obtained from the previous cave and placed it at the highest point inside. At once, the cave became as bright as day.

Bang!

Xiao Han surveyed the cave, walked beneath a slightly protruding section of the rock wall, and used brute force to shatter the jutting stones.

Xiao Han was now a Five Star Dou Zhe. Flying through the sky or burrowing through the earth was naturally beyond him, but crushing a few rocks was still an easy matter.

"What are you doing? We're only staying for one night. We can just make do with it—there's no need for this, right?" The Little Fairy Doctor stared at Xiao Han in astonishment. His actions clearly showed that he intended to clear out a stone bed.

"You can leave the Monster Beast Mountain Range first, but I need to continue training here for a few more days," Xiao Han explained.

"You want to stay alone in the Demon Beast Forest?" The Little Fairy Doctor's Willow Eyebrows knit slightly.

"Yes."

Xiao Han nodded. His cultivation was only at the Five Star Dou Zhe level. In gaming terms, he was merely a level-five newbie character. He still had a long way to go before becoming the most badass man in all the worlds.

Having bound the Hongmeng System, which let him obtain eggs from killing monsters and explode divine artifacts, the Demon Beasts within the Monster Beast Mountain Range were practically walking Experience Points to Xiao Han.

Before leaving, Xiao Han intended to properly raise his level.
