"Whoosh!" A flash of blade-light streaked through the dense forest, and a small figure appeared behind a little hill. The hill had collapsed onto the ground and lay motionless!
The short figure was not actually small either. He stood over 1.8 meters tall and had a sturdy build. He did not look as explosive as the typical muscleman; "small" was only relative to the hill lying on the ground. This was Jiang Liu, who had lived in the dense forest for more than ten days!
The hill was a Rank 3 Explosive Ape Exotic Beast with an Earth Attribute! Jiang Liu walked over to the Explosive Ape's corpse, raised his blade, circulated Wind Attribute Qi, and gutted the Explosive Ape. At last, he found the brown Earth Attribute beast core!
At this point, Jiang Liu looked more or less like a savage. His clothes were tattered, and the unkempt hair on his head and face flew wildly about. There was no trace of his former delicate and handsome appearance. The great blade in his hand was no longer the standard great blade of the Fallen Blossom Gang. Calling it a great blade was really a stretch—it was merely a piece of iron, with one end wrapped in cloth to serve as the hilt!
Jiang Liu had probably picked up scrap iron somewhere and fused it with other iron ores using Metal Primal Qi. Since he did not know how to forge, he had simply cobbled it together haphazardly. It was only relatively hard. His previous great blade had been scrapped after chopping down several Exotic Beasts! Constantly condensing a blade out of Qi consumed too much energy!
Jiang Liu had been here for more than ten days, and he no longer remembered how many Exotic Beasts he had hunted.
