Free Web NovelChapter 2120: Chapter 1075: Slaying the Frost Bear
As his hand seals and incantation were executed, several talismans formed from Spiritual Energy instantly condensed in midair, suppressing down toward the giant bear.
The talismans were interconnected, pale blue cords weaving together like a huge net, and in just a moment they had ensnared the giant bear.
Roar!!!
The giant bear roared furiously, its body twisting nonstop, its claws flailing about in all directions as it tried to tear open the net.
Under normal circumstances, the net from the Demon Suppression Record wouldn’t have been able to hold it.
After all, its cultivation wasn’t low, and it wasn’t some kind of evil spirit either, so the Demon Suppression Record held no restraining effect on it.
But the problem was that one of its claws had been slashed by Chen Yang and had completely lost all mobility.
This giant bear had the strength of the Spirit Gathering Realm, but it was unable to cultivate any Cultivation Technique; most of its power and strength were unleashed by converting through its two claws into brute force.
With one arm gone, its combat power naturally plummeted, and it could no longer tear apart the talisman net.
While it struggled, several Sword Glows followed right after.
Puff, puff...
Trapped by the net, the giant bear’s movement space was limited; it simply couldn’t dodge Chen Yang’s attacks.
Its massive body was forced to take every blow Chen Yang unleashed.
Naturally, several more wounds appeared on its body.
As the wounds increased, so did the pain, and the already enraged giant bear became even more violent. With continuous furious roars, it struggled like a mad beast in its death throes.
"Damn human, I’ll tear you apart, I’ll definitely tear you apart!" the giant bear bellowed.
Chen Yang gave no reply; the sword moves in his right hand were still continuously being executed.
The process was slow, but fortunately the Sword Qi was effective the whole time.
With the giant bear trapped, it was only a matter of time before it was ground to death.
After an hour, the trapped giant bear finally crashed heavily to the ground...
Its entire body was covered in wounds, blood pouring like a river.
Several meters around it were all stained with its fresh blood.
And it had completely lost all vitality.
Only after sensing that the giant bear no longer had any life did Chen Yang finally lower his suspended heart.
"What thick skin and tough flesh. If it still hadn’t died, my Spiritual Energy would’ve almost run dry."
The several hours of battle had given Chen Yang a wave of fatigue.
But fortunately it didn’t affect him too badly.
"I have to leave quickly; the commotion here will probably attract trouble." After adjusting his breathing a bit, Chen Yang quickly stepped forward, sliced open the giant bear’s head with one sword, and took out the inner core.
Then he used his Storage Silk Pouch to put away the giant bear’s body.
A ferocious beast at the Condensation Realm was a great tonic. If he didn’t eat it, wouldn’t that be a pity?
After taking care of everything, Chen Yang’s figure flashed and he left the area.
Not long after he left, several figures swept down from high in the sky to this place.
Since they could fly directly, they were at least experts in the Condensation Pill Realm!
They were both men and women, and all of them held weapons in their hands.
Looking at the ruined forest and the remaining bloodstains, a man said, "Looks like we’re late. The Frost Bear’s been killed."
"Damn it, someone actually beat us to it. Go back and investigate this matter! I must get the Frost Bear’s inner core."
Right after, a pleasant yet faintly angry female voice rang out, and then the few figures instantly vanished into the air...
Elsewhere, having left the Frost Bear’s territory far behind, Chen Yang had already found a relatively safe rocky hill, piled up stones into a stove, and started a fire to roast meat.
Just now, his Spiritual Energy had been heavily depleted, and Chen Yang urgently needed to replenish it.
Relying on absorbing the Spiritual Energy in the air would be too time-consuming.
Might as well just eat meat to recover faster.
The Frost Bear had been a powerhouse at the Condensation Pill Realm; eating this kind of meat could rapidly replenish Spiritual Energy.
The effect definitely wouldn’t be worse than some elixirs that restore Spiritual Energy.
Skewering the meat with tree branches, Chen Yang placed it over the fire and roasted it for a while.
Before long, the aroma of meat filled the air, the surface turning golden and dripping with oil...
It looked incredibly appetizing.
"Smells great."
Chen Yang sighed, opened his mouth, and was about to start eating.
Just then, a figure suddenly flashed past in front of him.
The speed was extremely fast, almost flicking by in an instant; he could only see a shadow of a figure.
Judging from the looks of it, someone had passed by this place and headed into the distance.
Chen Yang raised his head for a glance, then paid it no more attention.
He hadn’t expected that just as he was about to start eating again, that figure which had gone far off suddenly turned back, landing two to three meters away from him.
Only after the man stopped did Chen Yang clearly see what he looked like.
His clothes were ragged, his face covered in scruffy stubble.
A rope belt at his waist held an old gourd.
The look was downright peculiar... If Chen Yang hadn’t personally seen him flying, he would definitely have thought this guy was just an old beggar.
"Wow, smells amazing." Smelling the aroma, the old beggar drooled with hunger, his eyes fixed tightly on the chunk of meat in Chen Yang’s hand, like a starving wolf staring at a lamb.
He quickly approached, covering the distance in just a few steps.
Chen Yang instinctively moved the meat a bit behind himself, lest this old beggar try to snatch it by force.
With the meat disappearing from in front of him, the old beggar finally lifted his head and saw Chen Yang.
He immediately broke into a big grin and said familiarly, "Little brother, your meat smells really good. This old fellow’s been rushing on the road and got a bit hungry. Think you can spare me a little?"
"No. I roasted this for myself." Chen Yang decisively shook his head and refused.
On a normal day he would definitely share, but right now he needed to replenish his Spiritual Energy; how could he just hand it out?
He didn’t have the free time to roast another one for himself.
He was still planning to hurry and spend more time roaming the Ferocious Beast Forest to see if he could collect more materials for making Spirit Qi Liquid.
These past two days, he had been thinking about how to produce Spirit Qi Liquid.
Once he got Spirit Qi Liquid, he’d be able to save a lot of time in the future.
He could devote himself fully to cultivation.
Otherwise, just to support his daily life, he would still have to frequently take on missions.
"Little brother, don’t be so stingy. An old man passing by and meeting you here is fate. Give me a bite and we’ll count it as forming a good karma," the old beggar continued with a smile.
Chen Yang still shook his head. "No."
With that, Chen Yang sat back down, picked up a skewer, and started gnawing.
He ate with obvious relish.
The giant bear’s cultivation had been impressive, and its meat was even more tender and juicy. With one bite, the oil flowed out.
The old beggar had originally planned to leave when Chen Yang refused him.
But seeing how deliciously Chen Yang was eating, he couldn’t help his craving.
The step he had taken forward was withdrawn again.
With an awkward grin at Chen Yang, he said, "Little brother, how about we make a bet?"
"A bet? On what?"
Sitting on the rock, Chen Yang chewed the meat in his mouth and asked indistinctly.
The old beggar smiled, pulled a top-grade Spirit Stone straight out from his robe, and said, "I’ll bet with you that I can guess what kind of ferocious beast this meat comes from, and what its type is."
"If I guess right, you give me a piece of meat. If I’m wrong, this Spirit Stone is yours. How about it?"
Hearing this, Chen Yang really did become interested.
Betting meat for a Spirit Stone—no loss there.
