Xu Qing fell from the sky and landed on the Great Strength Demon Ape.

"As expected of SS Level God-Splitting Silk, its sharpness is unparalleled. Even Lord Level monster would be sliced in two upon contact, and I haven't even tried to control it yet," Xu Qing exclaimed.

If he were to manipulate it using his Spiritual Force, its power would be even more terrifying.

"And this bow, any arrow can exceed ten times the speed of sound, it's amazing," Xu Qing said, looking at the bow in his hand, quite pleased with it.

It's very easy to use, and the boost to your strength is quite noticeable.

"The saying 'A skilled craftsman must first sharpen his tools' makes a lot of sense," Xu Qing thought to himself. Having powerful weapons and equipment would indeed be like adding wings to a tiger for him.

Afterwards, Xu Qing collected the valuable materials from the Great Strength Demon Ape.

This Great Strength Demon Ape is at the Intermediate Lord level, not yet at the high-level lord level, but it can still fetch six or seven billion.

"The arrow... is here," Xu Qing retrieved the arrow.

His quiver contained a total of thirty-six arrows, all with SS Level arrowheads, but the shafts were made of inferior materials, only S-grade.

There's no other way. If all these arrows were made with SS Level materials, the cost would be too high, and the arrows are very easy to lose and never be found.

Therefore, when the Limit Martial Arts Hall was making arrows for him, they calculated the arrowhead and shaft separately.

This would significantly reduce costs.

Moreover, even if the arrow shaft is damaged, the arrowhead can still be used; you just need to replace the shaft.

Even if it's lost, the loss won't be significant.

"If I continued cultivating, I could gain the ability to create things, and then I wouldn't have to worry about arrows anymore. But that's probably not very realistic."

"Forget it, these arrows are enough for me. Anyway, I'm Archer, all I need to do is snipe targets efficiently," Xu Qing shook his head.

Xu Qing then continued walking along the coast.

As evening fell, atop a cliff along the coast, lay the lair of a flying monster.

Inside the lair, a flying monster had already died, with a bloody hole in its head.

"This is my base," Xu Qing said, standing beside the corpse of the flying monster.

He walked along the coast for quite a while before discovering this perfect spot, the lair of a flying monster. He immediately shot and killed the original owner and then took over the place.

"We've got our food for tonight too," Xu Qing said, glancing at the three bird eggs, each the size of a washbasin, in the nest. He swallowed hard.

He hasn't even tasted the eggs of flying monsters yet.

Afterwards, Xu Qing collected the materials from the flying monster and then plucked a bunch of bird feathers to line the nest.

"Go down and make your nest," Xu Qing said, pushing the carcass of the flying monster into the sea.

As expected, it will definitely attract a lot of sea monsters.

After all, it was the corpse of Lord Level monster. Monsters grow by devouring each other, so those sea monsters certainly wouldn't let it go.

Then, Xu Qing started a fire to roast the monster's bird eggs.

And so the night passed.

Xu Qing was awakened in the morning by the roar of a monster.

"Could it be that using the monster's corpse to create a nest yesterday worked?" Xu Qing got up and checked the time; it was a little past seven.

He reached the edge of the nest, peeked out, and saw a huge creature floating on the sea, which looked like a whale.

However, this whale had a sharp horn on its head and was about sixty meters long, much larger than the Great Strength Demon Ape from yesterday.

"This looks like Lord Level Mountain-Quaking Whale. Judging by its size, it should be at the Intermediate Lord level," Xu Qing said in surprise.

Surprisingly, the corpse of just a flying monster attracted the Mountain-Quaking Whale.

It appears that more than half of the flying monster's corpse has been eaten.

"The baiting went quite well, so let's stretch our legs a bit," Xu Qing said.

After saying that, he leaped up and jumped out of the nest, heading towards the Mountain-Quaking Whale below the sea cliff.

Xu Qing didn't plan to use a bow and arrow this time. After all, the Mountain-Quaking Whale was too big and had a strong vitality, so it would be difficult to kill it quickly with a bow and arrow. It would be better to use the God-Splitting Silk.

At that moment, the Mountain-Quaking Whale was still eating the corpse of the flying monster and was unaware of the approaching danger.

After all, Xu Qing was too small, like a rock that had fallen off a sea cliff, making him difficult to notice.

"Hello, big whale!" Xu Qing greeted the whale as he landed.

Upon hearing the sound, the Mountain-Quaking Whale finally turned its eyes and looked upwards.

"Goodbye, Great Whale!" Xu Qing said again, while manipulating the God-Splitting Silk to weave a large net that covered the head of the Mountain-Quaking Whale.

SS Level weapons are designed for use against King Level monsters, while the Mountain-Quaking Whale is only a Lord Level monster, so its fate is predictable.

Sizzle!

The sharp, divine -God-Splitting Silk sliced through the Mountain-Quaking Whale's head as easily as cutting tofu, splitting its massive skull apart like a flower blooming.

As it fell from above, the Mountain-Quaking Whale's head was instantly sliced into pieces of varying sizes, and its blood immediately stained the sea red.

It didn't even make a sound because its head was completely chopped off.

On the sea, Xu Qing stood on the God-Splitting Silk, watching the floating fragments of the Zhen Shang Whale's head, its lower body also rising to the surface.

"It's like cutting melons and vegetables!" Xu Qing exclaimed in astonishment.

Next, Xu Qing took the materials from the Mountain-Quaking Whale, then returned to his nest on the sea cliff and roasted a bird egg for breakfast.

At the same time, he was also keeping an eye on the situation on the sea below.

Now that we have the carcass of a Mountain-Quaking Whale to use as bait, the effect might be even better, and who knows, another Lord Level sea monster might appear.

Xu Qing only needs to wait and watch in the nest.

Sure enough, less than an hour later, a huge fish with a mouth full of sharp teeth appeared. It looked like a shark-like monster, over thirty meters long, with fins like War Blade.

The monster started gnawing on the corpse of the Mountain-Quaking Whale, eating with great relish.

A dozen seconds later, the monster died and became a corpse, joining the carcass of the Mountain-Quaking Whale.

And so, Xu Qing became a fisherman, using monster corpses as bait to catch fish. About every one or two hours, a Lord Level monster would appear.

Naturally, these Lord Level monsters became Xu Qing's prey.

However, it didn't last long, only about ten hours, before no more Lord Level monsters appeared.

Xu Qing hunted down a total of six Lord Level sea monsters.

"No way, I thought I could keep fishing forever, but these sea monsters have become smarter and won't fall for it anymore," Xu Qing said, watching the sky darken and realizing that this method wouldn't work.

Unbeknownst to him, the sea monsters had already relayed his message.

"This human is inhuman! Using the corpses of us monsters as bait, how utterly heartless!"

"That's right, we must spread this word! There's a shameless human here who specializes in killing our powerful warriors!"
