Chapter 420: Eating Meat Can Level Up
After returning to the camp, Xu Yi took out the Fierce Python’s corpse and the complete snake skin.
This snake skin can be used to wrap saddles. After all, they needed to stay here for a relatively long period, so they could completely dry the snake skin and then properly process it.
"Xu Yi, you killed a level 3 Fierce Python?" Qin Fan immediately asked, a bit startled.
Xu Yi is just a level 2 Divine Master, and he can already handle level 3 Fierce Beasts?
"Yes, it happened to target me, so I had to fight, and I didn’t expect to succeed." Xu Yi said calmly.
"Was it hard to kill?" Qin Fan glanced and found that the other mounts didn’t dare to approach.
Even though it was already a corpse, it could still make level 2 Fierce Beasts afraid?
"Well, it was difficult. If luck hadn’t favored me, I might have used up my chance to give up." Xu Yi said truthfully, admitting that if the Python hadn’t changed its attack strategy at the time, he would indeed have to choose to retreat.
Hearing Xu Yi’s words, Lu Ke’s heart tightened.
She thought Xu Yi looked fine and assumed there wasn’t much danger in dealing with a level 3 Fierce Beast.
"Black Qilin, come here." Xu Yi waved to the Black Qilin and then said, "This meat is very gamey, probably inedible even after cooking, so let’s leave it for the Black Qilin to eat."
The Black Qilin seemed a bit frightened but still came to Xu Yi’s side.
Xu Yi took out his dagger, shaved off some Fierce Python meat for the Black Qilin, and handed it over.
The Black Qilin stepped back a few steps, seemingly reluctant to eat.
"Eat it." Xu Yi directly commanded.
The Black Qilin glanced at Xu Yi, then bit the piece of meat in Xu Yi’s hand, its eyes nearly closed. After chewing a few times, its eyes sparkled, eagerly watching Xu Yi.
Xu Yi chopped off a chunk, weighing around seven or eight pounds, and threw it in front of the Black Qilin.
The Black Qilin immediately pounced, tearing into it.
The other mounts, seeing the Black Qilin eating enthusiastically, came over as well.
Xu Yi chopped up more Fierce Python meat, roughly forty to fifty pounds, and then stored the remainder.
After a while, the other mounts also joined the feast.
Suddenly, the Black Qilin howled, unleashing a surge of power.
"Upgraded?" Xu Yi looked at the Black Qilin, a bit surprised, noticing it seemed more robust and slightly taller in an instant.
The Black Qilin had indeed become a level 2 Fierce Beast, appearing more ferocious than before.
Could eating Fierce Beast meat lead to an upgrade?
Everyone couldn’t help but glance at the Fierce Python meat in Xu Yi’s hand, then heard Qin Chao say, "Idol, do you think we can also upgrade faster by eating the Fierce Python’s meat?"
"I suppose so, but this meat smells very gamey. Are you sure you can eat it?" Xu Yi looked at Qin Chao, understanding his eagerness to upgrade.
"We can try cooking a little in a small pot. Didn’t you have some black pepper, Xu Yi? Give me some, and I’ll give it a try." Cheng Jie suggested, thinking if eating Fierce Python meat could lead to an upgrade, as long as it wasn’t too nauseating, it might still be bearable.
"Sure, there’s also a half-jar of grape wine here, take it to try as well." Xu Yi generously took out his and Lu Ke’s homemade grape wine.
Everyone was quite amazed, not expecting Xu Yi to have grape wine.
Thus, Cheng Jie cut up a little over half a pound of Fierce Python meat and went to cook it.
Lu Ke and the others began cooking dinner, with meat soup and steamed Killing Melon, which was much better than what other teams were eating.
Half an hour later, Cheng Jie finished cooking the Fierce Python soup.
She tasted a spoonful and immediately felt delighted.
Because the gaminess was relatively mild, though still present, it wasn’t to the point of affecting its edibility.
Being edible was enough.
"Come on, come on, everyone try the snake meat soup." With that, Cheng Jie carried the small pot around.
So, the White Jade Radish meat soup was stored away, and another pot of Python soup was cooked. By near 8 PM, they finally had dinner.
After eating, everyone went to cultivate.
An hour later, Lu Yao broke through.
After another half an hour, Zhou Chun broke through.
Next was Zhou Mo...
By morning, only Su Yan and Liu Li hadn’t broken through, but they were both on the verge. Ten minutes ago, Qin Yue and Cheng Jie had successively broken through.
"System, clock in."
Before dawn, Xu Yi completed the clock-in.
It had been 139 days, one more day, and there’d be a new gift package.
After Xu Yi got up, he saw Su Yan and Liu Li were cooking the Fierce Python’s meat. After all, they were the only ones left, and their anxiety was understandable.
Among the mounts, only Xu Yi’s Black Qilin and Qin Chao’s Yaowaji had broken through. After all, only they were level 1 Fierce Beasts; the others’ beasts were all level 2.
Therefore, Xu Yi couldn’t help but wonder if level 4 Fierce Beasts’ meat could help them smoothly break from level 2 to level 3?
If level 4 beasts’ meat wasn’t effective, then maybe level 5’s could be?
Indeed, Xu Yi’s guess was correct. The Spirit Race also discovered that the meat of level 8 Fierce Beasts could accelerate enhancement. However, the effect vanished after reaching level 5 Mage.
But this didn’t have much effect on Divine Masters, perhaps because the Fierce Beasts’ levels weren’t high enough.
Even so, it significantly boosted the Spirit Race Mages’ strength.
Level 5 Mages were already capable of short flights. Thus, the Spirit Race was preparing to move the entire race to Planet 1.
At that time, there’d be even fewer Spirit Race members left on Planet 2. Those temporary bases of the Spirit Race would become the foothold for humans entering Planet 2 in the future.
Once the Spirit Race settled largely on Planet 1, they wouldn’t be interested in watching Xu Yi and the others’ live broadcasts anymore. After all, they’d need to cultivate and resist Beast attacks. Why watch Xu Yi and the others’ challenges when they could use that time to cultivate?
On Planet 1, the weakest Fierce Beasts were level 5.
Unlike on Planet 2, where there were still level 1 Fierce Beasts.
Now, for Su Yan and Liu Li, the meat of level 3 Fierce Beasts was their effective means for rapid enhancement.
After cooking and consuming two small pots, they began to cultivate.
An hour later, both broke through.
A complete level 2 Mage team was thus born, becoming the strongest team among all challengers.
After all, they each possessed the ability to kill one level 2 Fierce Beast.
Hence, Xu Yi gave them a suggestion to seek out level 2 Fierce Beasts and hunt them, stockpiling more Fierce Beast meat. They were raising six beasts, and the Fierce Beast meat was becoming scarce.
Aside from obtaining Fierce Beast meat, they could also gain combat experience.
After all, none of them had any practical experience using Telekinesis Arrows; that had to be obtained through actual combat.
