Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 554: Stepping Into the Level 6 Fierce Beast Territory

The martial techniques given by Xu Yi’s system are ones that the Spirit Race doesn’t have.

This is the advantage humans have to overtake them.

In fact, it’s not that the Spirit Race hasn’t tried to purchase or exchange for these martial techniques and spiritual skills from other civilizations.

Unfortunately, the current Spirit Race is just a small group that managed to escape, and their resources are very limited, so those civilizations aren’t interested.

Not plundering the Spirit Race’s people and resources is considered very kind.

So, when Ling Qi discovered Xu Yi’s Body Refining Technique, she immediately sought out Xu Yi for a trade.

Moreover, the conditions offered were the best the Spirit Race could think of.

After all, the Spirit Race understands the value of these cultivation techniques.

If it were any other civilization, they probably wouldn’t even trade with the Spirit Race.

There’s no way around it; when information is asymmetric, losses are unavoidable.

Of course, for Xu Yi, that deal wasn’t a loss either.

After all, even if he was given more advanced things, he might not understand them or be able to use them.

Furthermore, that was just one of the items, and Ling Qi still had others she hadn’t offered Xu Yi a choice of yet.

"Xu Yi’s movement speed has slowed down a lot; could it be he’s found the territory of a level 6 Fierce Beast?"

While others were dealing with the Fierce Beast carcasses, Lu Ke took a glance at her Star Chart and noticed that Xu Yi’s movement speed had halved.

At this speed, it’s definitely not the speed of Lightning. So, Lightning must be stationary, and Xu Yi is the one moving.

When Lightning was at level 4, it didn’t dare to enter the territory of level 5 Fierce Beasts.

Now, it should be even more reluctant to enter the territory of level 6 Fierce Beasts, so Xu Yi would have made it wait in one spot.

"It should be that way; the one that’s stopped and unmoving should be Lightning. It’s been so long; Xu Yi should have found it by now," Lu Yao also agreed with Lu Ke’s speculation since Xu Yi had indeed been gone for a long time.

Considering the distance Lightning would have covered in this time, the span from south to north of Huaxia’s territory is still vast.

If even then, he hasn’t reached the territory of a level 6 Fierce Beast, then the level 5 Fierce Beast’s territory must be enormous.

Wang Jin put away a carcass, happily saying, "Then, will Xu Yi be coming back soon?"

Lu Ke nodded, smiling, "I wonder if he missed us."

"Whether he missed us or not, but he definitely missed you, right? You’re the one who’s lived with him the longest," Wang Jin said, casting an envious glance at Lu Ke.

Lu Ke blushed slightly and said, "Not necessarily; perhaps he misses those two beauties from the Spirit Race the most."

"Beauties, Spirit Race beauties. Keke, have you seen what the Spirit Race looks like?" Su Yan asked curiously. She previously thought that apart from Xu Yi, no one had seen the true appearance of the Spirit Race.

But to her surprise, Lu Ke revealed such information.

"Yes, I saw them in Xu Yi’s memory, and I even carved them into dolls for Xu Yi. Look, they looked like this, really pretty, very attractive." As Lu Ke spoke, she took out a doll.

This doll was carved by Lu Ke based on Ling Qi’s appearance.

Because she found Ling Qi easier to carve.

As for the appearance of the Spirit God, she couldn’t carve it out again unless she saw it one more time.

"Wow, what a beautiful doll," Wang Jin’s eyes lit up when she saw it.

Wang Jin is quite fond of reading manga and immediately thought of anime characters when she saw Lu Ke’s carving.

It’s hard not to think that way, as its eyes look quite two-dimensional.

"This really isn’t an anime character but a Spirit Race member?" Su Yan was also shocked. She had imagined the appearance of the Spirit Race but never expected it to be the image of the doll in Lu Ke’s hand.

She had genuinely never thought along those lines before; she thought it would be very different from humans and not in line with human aesthetics.

"If Xu Yi didn’t get it wrong, this is one of them. The other one is even prettier and more spiritual in appearance. That’s why I couldn’t carve it out," Lu Ke said a bit dejectedly, as she was quite eager to carve out the Spirit God.

"Damn, why use the blurred lens? I also want to see the Spirit Race!"

"Really curious about what the Spirit Race looks like, too bad we can’t see it. This filming ball is too mischievous."

"It must be really beautiful, otherwise everyone wouldn’t be so shocked looking at the doll in Lu Ke’s hands."

"I bet a million, the Spirit Race must look quite similar to humans, and in a very perfect way, like the Elf Race."

"Elf Race, that’s fictional."

"No point in saying anything, they won’t let us see, it’s so frustrating!"

"I’m so curious, an anime character, what kind of anime character is it, what style is it, since different styles create completely different images."

The audience in the live broadcast wanted to see the true face of the Spirit Race, but unfortunately, the filming ball had already applied a blur effect at the first opportunity.

The filming ball does have some intelligence in this respect.

After everyone had seen it, Lu Ke put the doll away.

After all, she hadn’t gotten the Spirit Race’s consent to carve it.

"No wonder, Keke, you said Xu Yi misses the Spirit Race. I think I’ll start thinking about the Spirit Race often too now. Their appearance is an absolute knockout for someone with my aesthetic. I’m in love, truly in love," Wang Jin said with an exaggerated expression and tone, looking at the camera a bit helplessly.

She thought those who liked it would absolutely love the Spirit Race.

Of course, those who don’t find it in line with their aesthetics might also find the Spirit Race’s appearance awkward.

"Yes, for me it’s truly shocking. I’m not sure if the Spirit Race men are the same. If they are, they could capture the hearts of many women, right?" Zhou Mo looked worriedly at Wang Jin, as he didn’t want such a thing to happen.

"Does the Spirit Race even have gender differences?" Su Yan raised the question, finding it quite debatable. After all, they’re not human, so they might not have gender differences like humans do.

"Maybe they do, maybe they don’t, who knows? But no matter how mesmerizing they are, the Spirit Race stands high above us. In their eyes, human civilization is very low-level," Su Yan remarked with indifference. Despite having interacted with them only once, Su Yan clearly sensed the Spirit Race’s elevated demeanor.

It’s not that the Spirit Race is arrogant; it’s like how humans would seem in front of monkeys. Is that arrogance?

The gap in civilization is so vast that they’re simply not on the same level.

Unless humans can catch up quickly.

Only by possessing the strength equivalent to the Spirit Race will they start taking you seriously.

The others remained silent, as it was best to withhold comments under the Spirit Race’s surveillance.

After chatting briefly, they resumed their exploration.

They started from the Meteorite Crater Base, clearing the Fierce Beasts circle by circle outward.

Once they were done clearing, perhaps Xu Yi would return.

Only a few level 5 peak Fierce Beasts would be needed to dominate this area.

After all, level 5 peak Fierce Beasts are more than ten times stronger than ordinary level 5 Fierce Beasts.

The mere presence of level 5 peak Fierce Beasts would send many Fierce Beasts fleeing.

As they began to continue sweeping the Fierce Beasts, Xu Yi had reached the edge of the level 6 Fierce Beast Territory.

The difference was visible to the naked eye.

The fat trees were still fat trees, but their height had increased from seven or eight meters to thirty or forty meters.

The disparity was evident.

Xu Yi listened carefully, and all around was extremely quiet.

Then he stepped forward, entering the territory of the level 6 Fierce Beast.
