It’s really worth cultivating, so Small Knife doesn’t plan to let the thriving Human-Head Willow Tree devour heads indiscriminately. They need to be selected carefully; otherwise, they might be ruined.
Small Knife doesn’t have much else on hand right now, but he has plenty of Cannibal Heads.
After all, in the Multi-Head Tribe, the war goods he could purchase were swept away by him, with the most abundant being Cannibal Heads, many of which were premium.
So Small Knife chose Cannibal Heads with good Skills for the Human-Head Willow to devour.
He picked out some fine Cannibal Heads and entrusted Xiu’Er with feeding them.
Then Small Knife logged off and sent Er Gouzi back.
The only reason he hadn’t done this before was because of the Little Cultivator.
As his biggest secret, Small Knife didn’t want to bring it into reality.
Now, after a few days of rest, the Little Cultivator has researched the Petrification State, which can ensure the Residual Soul doesn’t weaken, meaning Experience won’t be consumed.
One glance at the Stone Statue, and Small Knife quickly returned, working hard and continuing to kill monsters to gain Experience.
Likewise, he rode the Bone Horse at full speed.
This time, Small Knife set out alone, allowing for faster travel.
Only when there are enough prey will he release the Witch Residence.
Two more days passed in the hunt, and the harvest was decent.
However, at this time, a large number of stones appeared around, with significantly less dirt.
The rocks were scattered, large and small, making it impossible for the Bone Horse to walk normally, forcing Small Knife to dismount.
Scanning the map, has he run this far already?
The rock not far ahead is huge, and he’s planning to climb a tall rock to take a look at the surrounding environment.
Having just jumped onto a few stones.
Realization dawns too late, with no time to dodge, shocking Small Knife as he’s directly bitten on the ankle.
However, Small Knife breathes a sigh of relief and looks closely.
If it weren’t for seeing the attributes, it would be hard to tell this is a snake—this Rock Snake, identical in color to rock.
Deadly Rock Snake: Level 30, Basic-level Fierce Beast.
Skills: Rock Walking, Poison, Disguise, Surprise Attack, Fake Death, Rock Shell!
Impressive. The other foot instinctively stomped hard a few times, skin tough as rock, without losing even a drop of blood?
Hmph, he immediately infused Qi Blood into his foot to stomp it to death.
Beep: Congratulations, you have killed a Level 30 Basic-level Fierce Beast, Deadly Rock Snake, gaining Experience: 3000.
Three thousand Experience gained.
It must have been quite powerful in poison, considering its small size?
However, since it didn’t break the skin, Small Knife picked it up and stored it away.
The defensive boost brought by the Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross Training and Iron Cloth Shirt practice has shown its effect now—otherwise, who knows if he could have been poisoned to death? It would surely have been unpleasant.
At the time, he realized there was no time to dodge.
"That was really a bit dangerous," Small Knife reflected,
It’s fortunate I have the Iron Cloth Shirt, which is at Great Perfection. Without a more advanced Cultivation Technique, I’ll just have to practice some Lightweight Skills.
Hopefully, there are more of these snakes, at a slightly higher Level.
Small Knife naturally remained vigilant, already activating True Qi to form the Iron Cloth Shirt.
He hadn’t yet climbed to the top of the big rock.
Seeing another Deadly Rock Snake bite his calf.
Small Knife gave a bitter smile, drew a sharp knife, and with a flash of blood light, stabbed it directly.
Beep: Congratulations, you have killed a Deadly Rock Snake, gaining Experience: 3000.
The fact is, even though he was cautious, his strength wasn’t enough to avoid its surprise attacks.
After slaughtering another two, also Level 30 Deadly Rock Snakes, Small Knife finally climbed to the top of the large rock and looked into the distance.
Wow, this entire area is filled with rocks of various kinds, with no end in sight.
Without a doubt, many Deadly Rock Snakes must be hidden within, and based on his encounters, each at least offers 3000 Experience as Basic-level Fierce Beasts.
Small Knife was thrilled here, unaware that at Wolf Fang Pass, a figure had returned from outside, chased by a large pack of Wilderness Wolves. Among them were over thirty Fierce Beasts, led by a Top-level Fierce Beast.
These Wilderness Wolves roared in anger, eyes bloodshot, pursuing relentlessly. Who knows what heinous acts this figure in front carried out against them, prompting this deadlock chase.
"No Fierce Beasts found, but it’s enough," the figure paused briefly.
"Hmph! With such failure in defense, what right do you have to hold the Totem Pole," the figure sneered, pulling out a piece of Black Bone, crushing it, and scattering it on himself.
His form continued forward, astonishingly undetected by the defensive patrolling guards as he passed by them.
However, they quickly raised alarm because they spotted a large number of approaching Wilderness Wolves, and they were quite strong.
"Something’s wrong, prepare to fight to the death, there are many beasts, and these Wilderness Wolves seem off," experienced warriors shouted as they recognized the situation with dread on their faces.
These Wilderness Wolves, eyes red, breathing heavily, with no pause, launched directly at them.
A fierce battle erupted instantly.
And here, no Witch oversaw the defense.
Based on being attacked, they must all be Fierce Beast Level, causing Small Knife to breathe rapidly.
It’s simply a Blessed Land.
Lots of Experience here.
He didn’t rush nervously, the Iron Cloth Shirt protecting him, though it consumed much.
At this moment, he downed a Blood Spirit Potion, sat cross-legged, and quickly recovered.
Then scattered a handful of Secret Bone Powder, summoning six Bone Wolves to sprint wildly around.
Small Knife then took out his gun.
Unfortunately, the frantically running Bone Wolves didn’t lure out a single Deadly Rock Snake, evidently not tempting in the eyes of the Deadly Rock Snakes.
Thinking it over, he descended the large rock the same way, took the Totem Pole from the Bone Horse and planted it directly on the ground.
Activating the Witch Spirit Realm, Let’s see how you all hide.
Suddenly, the Witch Pattern on the Totem Pole shimmered, sending invisible ripples outward.
Sure enough, dots began to appear on the mini-map, and Small Knife was ecstatic, about to earn massive Experience, all 30 Level Basic-level Fierce Beasts, and more...!
Warning: The Totem Pole has alerted hostile forces, the Witch of the Rock Python Tribe! Pursuit will begin soon.
Beep: Task triggered, report back, return to the Tribe alive and report findings regarding the Rock Python Tribe, reward: any Witch Pattern.
Beep: Congratulations, the bottleneck before Level 80 has been surpassed, satisfying the task trigger condition.
Beep: Congratulations, task triggered, Path of the War Witch, kill three enemy Witches, present bodies to the Tribe Witch for task completion, reward: Witch Array (Path of the War Witch).
Hint 1: Witch Array (Path of the War Witch), after use, become a War Witch, surpass Level 80 bottleneck, usable at Level 80.
Hint 2: War Witch is one path of the Witch Dao, and methods to obtain vary.
Just one look and Small Knife wanted to slap himself. Isn’t it better to just earn Experience nicely without fancy maneuvers? He immediately grabbed the Totem Pole, jumped onto the Bone Horse, putting further observation aside.
