Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races-Chapter 78: Lone Blade Slaughters 200 Miles, Red-eyed Porcupine Cleaved in One Strike
Next, Lin Ping’an continued forward, slaying one exotic beast with each slash, which had already become his basic operation.
The system panel prompted that values were being updated frantically.
[Killed Second Grade Perfection Exotic Beast Scarlet Fang Rabbit, gained 86 Civilization Points.]
...
[Killed First Grade Perfection Exotic Beast Wild Bull, gained 9 Civilization Points.]
...
[Killed Third Grade Early Stage Exotic Beast Black-striped Blood Leopard, gained 168 Civilization Points.]
...
No matter if they are Second or Third Grades, or just First Grade, none are spared, highlighting a core concept.
Eradicate them all, root and branch; only the dead exotic beasts that provide Civilization Points are good exotic beasts.
Of course, he also disdains picking up the garbage of the Lower Third Grades, leaving them unattended for those meant to find them.
You could see a figure flying quickly to the distance at an imperceptible speed to the naked eye.
From time to time, a purple, sinister blade scar floated out like a breeze, leaving behind a field of fallen corpses wherever it passed.
The originally green grassland was stained with scarlet blood, as the scent of blood gradually permeated the air.
...50 miles away...100 miles away...200 miles away...
Not long after, Lin Ping’an had already slaughtered his way to two hundred miles outside of Hope City.
At the same time,
Within the City Lord’s Mansion in Hope City, a big fat man had a bad premonition in the depths of his mind.
He exercised his perception, scanning for any unusual auras within two hundred miles, but found nothing amiss.
No presence of Middle Tier or higher exotic beasts appeared at all.
"What’s going on? Why do I keep feeling like something is about to happen? Is another beast tide occurring? Or could it be evil martial artists?"
"Right, if you calculate the timing, the academies are about to begin their entrance trials. Could it be related?"
"Pass down a command to strengthen vigilance, keep a close eye, and prevent any unexpected situation."
A few Middle Tier Martial Artists, upon hearing this, immediately bowed their hands and left.
...
On the other side, Lin Ping’an had already left the control range of Hope City and killed his way out.
The exotic beast levels he saw started reaching Middle Tier and above, Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade appearing frequently.
Even though the intervals between them were quite distant, he could still perceive them clearly.
Once these exotic beasts broke through to the Middle Tier, they gained more intelligence and territory awareness, along with basic concepts of hierarchy within their race.
Once they reached high-tier levels, they could speak human language, communicate with each other through spiritual power, and their intelligence was comparable to that of ordinary humans.
And the greatest enemy of the Human Race happens to be the independent tribes formed by these high-tier exotic beasts.
High-tier exotic beasts of the same species would band together.
If a tribe within has a Ninth Grade being born, it could become a small tribe.
If multiple Ninth Grades were born and they possessed at least one exclusive small secret realm as a breeding ground, it could become an intermediate tribe.
Only tribes that possess Ninth Grade and above beings and have a large secret realm as their habitat and breeding source could be considered a high-level tribe.
Currently, within the Ten Thousand Races, there aren’t many high-level tribes, such as the Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, Qilin Race, among others—just around ten on the surface.
Each high-level tribe has countless intermediate tribes as their vassals underneath them.
And beneath the intermediate tribes, there are small tribes as their vassal races.
Structured like a pyramid.
As for races without a single Ninth Grade being, even considering the scope of the Ten Thousand Races, are no different from ordinary exotic beasts and could go extinct anytime due to various reasons.
Their only purposes, besides serving as blood feast, could just be acting as cannon fodder during an attack.
At this moment, after Lin Ping’an left the specified range, he started gradually unleashing more of his power, showcasing even faster speeds.
A glimmer passed by, his body materializing like a phantom, appearing in front of a massive, dark, and damp cave.
Inside bore an aura of Fifth Grade Initial Tier, the strongest exotic beast nearby was within.
At this moment, just after Lin Ping’an appeared, he heard a roar.
The next moment,
An exotic beast with a body four or five meters tall, a boar’s head and a dog’s body, scarlet eyes with fangs, and covered in black spikes stormed out with immense momentum.
When it saw Lin Ping’an’s figure, its blood-red eyes showed traces of greed and desire, as if it had seen some kind of exquisite delicacy.
Meanwhile, Lin Ping’an’s face also revealed a hint of surprise.
"Hahaha... It’s actually a Red-eyed Porcupine. I’ve heard that the meat of this exotic beast is quite delicious—tender without being greasy, especially the hind leg meat, which is the finest of the finest."
"How wonderful! Never expected that the first exotic beast found actively would bring such a surprise."
One man and one porcupine stared at each other.
After confirming eye contact, both intended to devour the other.
At this moment, the Red-eyed Porcupine, sensing the weak aura of the other, was drooling and, without thinking twice, eagerly opened its bloody maw, rushing forward with malice.
In its view, this two-legged beast, infinitely weaker than ever before, would surely be bitten to death in one snap and swallowed whole.
According to its sensory evaluation, the Red-eyed Porcupine was too lazy to even use its own useful Talent Ability.
After all, the opponent was just too weak, making it completely unnecessary.
However.
The next instant.
"Abi Dao Three Blades—Life Severing Slash!"
A massive blade light, swirling with purple malignant aura, immediately slashed out from that inconspicuous weapon.
At that moment, the Red-eyed Porcupine suddenly sensed the crisis of life and death, trying to evade, but it was already too late. Its pig eyes were flooded with horror and fear.
"Bang~"
If it could speak human language, it would for sure curse vehemently.
Fraud! Absolute swindler! It said the opponent was supposed to be exceedingly weak, yet how could it unleash such a powerful attack suddenly?
Damn it, this was practically blatant bait-and-switch.
But, by now, it was too late.
With the stroke of the slash, the Red-eyed Porcupine was smoothly sliced in half from the middle, even causing the cave behind to collapse heavily.
Instantly, endless blood gushed out, turning the scene into a hell on earth.
Witnessing this, Lin Ping’an slowly exhaled a breath.
"That was overdoing it! Seems like after five rounds of Bone Tempering, my power augmented quite a lot."
"Originally just wanted to smash the head, but never thought it would split it in half. Hope the meat hasn’t been spoiled."
Speaking, he walked forward, slicing the two hind legs along the joint with two slashes and picked them down.
Immediately, he stored them in the Space Ring.
Then, he selectively cut out all the reportedly good meat parts and stuffed them into the space as well.
This time, participating in the entrance trials was not only about killing exotic beasts for Civilization Points but also about getting some food reserves back.
The canteen’s medicinal meals were slightly expensive, having eaten them continuously for over a month, with a daily expense of two thousand Merit Points, even a rich man’s household couldn’t afford it any longer.
Without planning to release sales of new cultivation techniques under his main account anytime soon, Lin Ping’an was getting closer to the point of being unable to afford them after two to three more months.
Moreover, for the sake of low-profile, exclusively consuming Second and Third Grade medicinal meals wasn’t satisfying his true needs, only fulfilling gastronomic desires.
Considering everything, coming to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races to gather some ingredients had become quite a necessary thing to do.
A moment later, after handling everything, Lin Ping’an remembered to glance at the system panel to see how many Civilization Points killing this Fifth Grade Initial Tier Red-eyed Porcupine yielded.
[Killed Fifth Grade Initial Tier Exotic Beast Red-eyed Porcupine, gained 1886 Civilization Points.]
Seeing this, Lin Ping’an calculated slowly based on the previous prompts.
Killing First Grade Exotic Beasts typically yields under 10 points, with a maximum not exceeding 20 points.
Second Grade is usually between 30 to 100 points, Third Grade around 100 to 500 points, and Fourth Grade ranges from 500 to 1500 points.
As for Fifth Grade, the minimum baseline should yield more than 1500 Civilization Points, and the upper limit remains unknown for now.
