Live Strong in the Wilderness

Damn it!

If you can’t speak properly, can you just keep your mouth shut?

Xu Yi cursed in his heart, then mobilized all his Spiritual Power.

Secret Skill, Ice Arrow Swarm.

This was his all-out Spiritual Power attack, and it was the first time Xu Yi did something like this after mastering the Secret Skill.

With 100% Spiritual Power consumption, Xu Yi wasn’t sure just how powerful the attack would be.

"Huh?" Jialan Xuefei felt the terrifying force of the attack and couldn’t help but glance at Xu Yi.

Then, she saw Xu Yi falling down.

Over a hundred ice arrows shot towards the two Demon tribes, carrying an aura of terror.

They sensed the danger and wanted to escape, but it was too late.

The ice arrows had already reached them, and they could only brace for impact.

"Boom boom boom!"

The ice arrows struck the Spiritual Power defenses formed by the two Demon tribes and exploded.

The air itself was frozen.

What surprised Jialan Xuefei the most was that one-third of the ice arrows tore through the defenses of the Demon tribes and struck their bodies.

At this time, Jialan Xuefei also made her move, attacking them.

"One dead, one injured?" Jialan Xuefei’s spear penetrated the body of one Demon tribe member, then she turned to look at Xu Yi lying on the ground.

The power Xu Yi unleashed was completely unexpected to Jialan Xuefei.

After killing the Demon tribe member, Jialan Xuefei retrieved the Demon Crystals from the two Demon tribes and came to Xu Yi’s side.

"You are very powerful." Jialan Xuefei rarely admired anyone, but she admired Xu Yi now.

Level 16, and yet he made two Level 15 Demon tribes suffer one death and one injury.

If there had only been one Demon tribe member, Xu Yi would have resolved it smoothly.

This way, they could stay in this area until she advanced to Level 19.

Jialan Xuefei’s talent was already considered genius within the Royal Family.

Unfortunately, her ideas didn’t align with the mainstream views of the Royal Family, making her an outcast there.

Otherwise, how could she have become friends with Luojia Nana?

Xu Yi was very weak, without even the strength to speak.

The feeling of having his Spiritual Power drained was really unpleasant.

"Absorb the Spiritual Power in the Demon Crystals; it’ll help you recover faster." Saying this, Jialan Xuefei placed a Demon Crystal in each of Xu Yi’s hands.

Then, Xu Yi felt a surge of power flowing into his body through his hands.

This power was akin to the Energy Pearl spat out by the Illusionary Flower Beast Snail.

This Spiritual Power was quickly absorbed by Xu Yi, partially restoring his strength.

"Luotian, what Secret Skill did you use to kill a Level 15 Demon tribe member? That’s impressive!" Luojia Nana.

Xu Yi ignored Luojia Nana and continued to absorb the power from the Demon Crystals.

Now that he had gained Jialan Xuefei’s trust, once they established ’friendship’, Xu Yi could start extracting the intelligence he wanted.

Although the Spirit Race had previously gathered intelligence, the Jialan Civilization would never have expected someone to dare enter Jialan Star at this time to collect information.

"Recover well, and once you’re better, we’ll continue hunting the Demon tribes," Jialan Xuefei said, then sat down cross-legged, beginning a brief session of cultivation.

Xu Yi discovered that while the Demon Crystals contained absorbable Spiritual Power, it was very chaotic, containing many thoughts of the Demon tribes.

Therefore, this method should be used sparingly, especially after excessive use of Spiritual Power.

An hour later, Xu Yi, Jialan Xuefei, and Luojia Nana continued on, beginning to hunt the Demon tribes again.

In the following days, Xu Yi and Jialan Xuefei continued to hunt down the Demon tribes.

At night, they each trained in their own small tents.

These small tents were not meant for sleeping, so they were very small and only used for sitting cross-legged.

At dawn, Xu Yi opened his eyes.

"Ding, checked-in for 31 consecutive days, received an intermediate gift pack."

Upon hearing the system’s notification, Xu Yi glanced at Jialan Xuefei and Luojia Nana, a bit worried that they’d notice the system’s notifications.

Clearly, they had no reaction and seemed unaware of the system’s existence.

Then, Xu Yi quietly said in his mind, "System, open the gift pack."

"Ding, received Spiritual Power Purification Cultivation Technique - Slaughter Thought (Intermediate)."

"Ding, received Spiritual Power Enhancement Potion *10 (Intermediate)."

"Ding, received Secret Skill - Thunder Move (Intermediate)."

Xu Yi found that there were only three notifications and felt a bit frustrated.

He thought he would receive as many notifications as last time. Instead, there were just three.

Moreover, the Spiritual Power Enhancement Potion had dropped from 20 to just 10 vials.

If he had known this, he would have delayed entering Jialan Star by a month. Perhaps the system would have given him more benefits.

Nonetheless, among these three, there was a cultivation technique specifically for purifying Spiritual Power.

This technique was clearly aimed at dealing with the Demon Crystals.

This once again proved that the system’s gift packs largely catered to Xu Yi’s needs.

"System, receive the gift pack." Saying this in his mind, Xu Yi closed his eyes.

After a dozen minutes, Xu Yi had finished receiving it.

The focus was on the Spiritual Power Purification Cultivation Technique - Slaughter Thought.

Xu Yi didn’t rush to try it out but instead walked out of the tent.

By this time, Jialan Xuefei and Luojia Nana should be getting up as well, ready for a new day’s training.

During this period, Luojia Nana’s advancement speed was quite decent, having leveled up once. However, she had been stuck at the peak stage for over a year.

Xu Yi and Jialan Xuefei had also made some progress, but they were still far from upgrading.

Additionally, Xu Yi found that depleting his Spiritual Power to hunt Demon tribes had a considerable benefit to his advancement.

It was just rather painful, as if his head was about to explode.

But Xu Yi knew he would eventually get used to this state.

He just wanted to keep improving.

The Jialan Royal Family was too powerful; according to Jialan Xuefei, there were many members above Level 30 in their Royal Family.

In recent days, Xu Yi managed to extract some useful information.

For instance, the progress of Jialan Civilization in absorbing Spirit Race technology. They had already created the first generation of Jialan Civilization’s aircraft. However, it disintegrated after flying for a few hours.

This speed amazed Xu Yi.

Even with the Spirit Race’s help, humans couldn’t build a warship in such a short time.

And it disintegrated only after flying for a few hours.

This indicated that they had already mastered most of the technology.

With a little more research, they might fully master it.

Once they mastered this technology, the Jialan Civilization would officially go to war with humans and the Spirit Race.

Besides, the Jialan Royal Family had already begun war mobilization.

As for news about the Divine Race, Xu Yi had also started inquiring.

However, he learned about the current situation of the more than ten thousand Spirit Race members left behind.

All those of the Spirit Race had been controlled.

Their daily task was reproduction, as the Jialan Civilization attempted to modify the bloodlines of ordinary Jialan members using the Spirit Race.

After all, the Spirit Race was highly powerful, with an awakening probability slightly higher than that of ordinary Jialan members.

As of now, no Jialan member has shown signs of pregnancy.

For those Spirit Race members, Xu Yi could only express sympathy.

Currently, it was impossible for him to rescue all those Spirit Race members.

To save them was excessively difficult, and with such a large number, Xu Yi couldn’t rescue them, not even if he were a deity.

If it were possible, it would require the power to eliminate the Jialan Civilization itself. In that case, there wouldn’t even be a need for rescue—just annihilate the Jialan Civilization.

Xu Yi thought that perhaps in a month or two, he might be able to extract everything Jialan Xuefei knew.

At that time, it would be time to leave.
