They were still using storage jade plates, so their storage s.p.a.ce was very limited.

In order to save s.p.a.ce, every time they killed a spiritual beast, they had to dissect it on the spot and abandon the excess internal organs, leaving only valuable flesh, bones, and a few organs.

At this moment, one of them suddenly raised his head and looked around in confusion.

“Did you hear anything?”

As soon as he said this, the other two immediately stopped what they were doing and looked around warily.

The Dragon Abyss Mountain Range was rife with danger. If one wasn’t careful, one would lose their life. Therefore, any cultivator who entered the mountain range would be on guard at the slightest movement.

However, after waiting quietly for a while, the two of them didn’t find any clues. They looked at their companion who had spoken at the beginning in confusion.

The latter shrugged. “Maybe I’m overthinking…”

Before he could finish speaking, a gust of evil wind suddenly swept over from the front, causing the surrounding trees to sway and countless leaves to rustle.

Roar!

A low and ferocious beast roared as a white-eyed spirit tiger leaped out and landed in front of the three of them.

The sudden appearance of the spiritual beast shocked the three of them and they subconsciously a.s.sumed a combat posture.

However, when they regained their senses, the three of them were overjoyed.

Another white-eyed spirit tiger!

This was a huge amount of merit points!

They were so lucky!

The three of them looked at each other and slowly walked forward with tacit understanding. They surrounded the white-eyed spirit tiger.

However, they had only walked halfway when they suddenly heard a series of beast roars. A few more gusts of evil wind swept up, and four white-eyed spirit tigers jumped out, staring at the three of them covetously.

At this moment, the joy on their faces froze, and they turned pale.

“Five!!!”

Under the cold and fierce gazes of the five tigers, the three cultivators turned pale and couldn’t help but tremble.

If there were only two tigers, they could still barely deal with them if they gave all they had.

If there were three tigers, they could at least escape.

However, with the five tigers, their chances of escaping were extremely slim

“Hehe, look what I found. Three human cultivators!”

It was a low and hoa.r.s.e voice.

A tall figure slowly walked out from behind the white-eyed spirit tigers. Its back was facing the sunlight, casting a shadow.

It was a completely black tiger demon with pale eyes and a pair of wide wings on its back.

Just by looking at these characteristics, it wasn’t much different from the other tigers here.

The only difference was that it walked upright like a human!

Its three-meter-tall body stood upright. Its limbs were slightly thinner, but they were even longer. The sharp claws at the ends of its fingers shone with a cold metallic l.u.s.ter under the sunlight.

The moment they saw the tiger demon, the three cultivators were instantly stunned. They almost squeezed out a trembling cry from their throats.

“An Enlightening Stage spiritual beast…”

Enlightening Stage spiritual beasts might not be able to walk upright and speak human language, but only Enlightening Stage spiritual beasts could do this!

The appearance of the tiger demon crushed the last bit of hope the three cultivators had.

Instantly, despair appeared in their eyes.

Seeing their expressions, the tiger demon revealed human-like cruelty and joy.

“Since the snack has come to me, I won’t stand on ceremony. I’m hungry.”

As soon as it said this, the three cultivators’ expressions changed.

However, before they could react, they suddenly felt a figure flash in front of them. The tiger demon had already disappeared from its spot.

In the next second, there was a m.u.f.fled sound, like the sound of a spurting fountain.

The two cultivators standing on the right suddenly felt the side of their faces turn warm. They turned around and were shocked to find that their companion on the left had become a headless corpse. Warm blood was gus.h.i.+ng out of his broken neck and splas.h.i.+ng on their faces.

A few⁷ meters away, the tiger demon held a head with a sinister smile on its face. It brought the head close to its mouth and bit down. Red and yellow matter splattered in all directions.

“Delicious! It’s so delicious! It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten human fles.h.!.+”

The tiger demon laughed heartily. It finished the entire head in a few⁷ bites, crunching the flesh and bones. Then, it looked at the remaining tw⁷o cultivators with sinister smiles and pounced forward.

“Ah!!!”

Miserable cries reverberated in the sky above the forest.

A moment later, the tiger demon patted its slightly round belly in satisfaction and roughly wiped the blood from the corners of its mouth.

“The flesh of human cultivators is still as delicious as ever. It’s a pity that they’re only at the Long Breath Stage. If they were at the Bright Aperture Stage, the taste would definitely be even more delicious!”

The tiger demon grinned as a reminiscent expression appeared on its ferocious face. It was as though it had really tasted the flesh of Bright Aperture Stage cultivators.

A moment later, its expression changed, and there was a terrifying and cruel light in its eyes. It waved its hand and shouted.

“Go, boys. Kill all the humans within a hundred miles!”

“ROAR!”

A series of tiger roars suddenly erupted.

Countless white-eyed spirit tigers pounced out from the forest behind the tiger demon, sweeping in all directions like a flood.

“Meow!”

Ai yawned lazily. She looked at Lin Shen, who was in a daze, then turned around and closed her eyes, returning to her nap.

Under the shade of the tree, Lin Shen sat cross-legged on the ground and focused on checking the interface.

In the blink of an eye, they had already stayed in the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range for more than a month.

Apart from hunting spiritual beasts, he had been searching for treasures with Ai.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t as lucky as last time. He didn’t find treasures like the Treasure Gold Cloud Sand. He only found some more ordinary natural treasures.

However, with time, he had acc.u.mulated a considerable amount.

Ai was usually silly, but she was very trustworthy when it came to treasure hunting.

Of course, the natural treasures were only the secondary goal of Lin Shen’s training trip. What really made him happy was the improvement of his martial techniques.

During this period of time, Lin Shen gradually figured out a pattern.

The target of improvement after the effect of Testify by Killing was largely related to the martial technique Lin Shen used to kill the spiritual beast.

For example, during the process of killing the spiritual beast, if he only used the Bronze Hammer Hand martial technique from the beginning to the end and was lucky enough to trigger the talent effect, there was a high chance that the cultivation speed of the Bronze Hammer Hand would increase.

After realizing this, Lin Shen began to consciously control the use of martial arts techniques. In the battle, he tried his best to only use a few martial arts techniques that needed to be upgraded.

As expected, after a while, his efficiency had clearly improved.

In a month, Bronze Hammer Hand, Bone Forging Technique, and Giant Rock Scripture had all reached Perfection. Lin Shen had fused them into Forbidden Golden Armor and Meltdown respectively.

Just now, Sky Rainbow Palm had finally reached Perfection.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: Well-versed]

[Stage: Long Breath Level 6, 89%]

[Cultivation techniques: Golden Crow Scripture (75% Mastery), Meltdown (75% Perfection), Forbidden Golden Armor (75% Perfection), Sky Rainbow Palm (Perfection), Divine Elephant Technique (35% Mastery)…]

[Number of clones: 6 (27%)]

“I can finally break through!”

Lin Shen heaved a sigh of relief and focused his mind to fuse the Perfection-stage Sky Rainbow Palm into Meltdown.

In an instant, the words “Meltdown (Perfection 75%)” were distorted. A few seconds later, it suddenly became “Meltdown (0%)”.

Lin Shen suddenly felt a slight tremble in the depths of his mind, and countless insights and understandings surged out like a tide. Be it in quality or quant.i.ty, they far exceeded any previous martial arts stage breakthrough!

After a long while, Lin Shen finally digested this information. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled happily from the bottom of his heart.

“So this is a Path-stage martial technique!”

Lin Shen was overwhelmed with emotions.

Although he had not tested it in actual combat, he could already sense from the information in his mind that the power of a Path-stage martial technique far surpa.s.sed a Perfection-stage one!

If a Perfection stage martial technique was still within the range of a martial technique, then a Path-stage martial technique had already reached a level comparable to a spell!

That was the level of the Bright Aperture Stage and even cultivator masters!

“I haven’t fused so many martial techniques in vain!”

Lin Shen was filled with joy.

What surprised him even more was that the Path-stage martial technique could actually continue to improve.

“I wonder what stage I’ll reach next?”

After letting his thoughts wander for a moment, Lin Shen came back to his senses and called for Ai to get up. He prepared to continue hunting spiritual beasts to increase the stage of the Divine Elephant Technique so that he could complete the breakthrough of the Forbidden Golden Armor as soon as possible.

At the same time, he could also test the power of the Path-stage Meltdown!

Just as Lin Shen was about to move, he suddenly heard a faint beast roar from afar..
