I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 67: An Unexpected Gain

"Don’t be afraid."

Zhang Yuan reached out and patted Da Hu’s head to calm the Mountain Guard Dog down.

He reached over his shoulder and took down the bow and arrow hanging on his back.

The Hunting Bow Zhang Yuan carried was not the one that could only hunt rabbits and grouse.

This Hunting Bow was very sturdy. Without a few hundred pounds of force, it couldn’t be drawn. Paired with special Triangular Armor-Piercing Arrows, it could easily deal with tigers and black bears!

Zhang Yuan had it customized at the Artisan Hall of the Furious Whale Gang.

The problem was, with the bow and arrow in hand, he couldn’t find a target to aim at!

But the dense forest ahead gave Zhang Yuan an eerie feeling.

He nocked a Feathered Arrow and stepped cautiously toward the forest.

Da Hu let out a low growl from its throat, trying to warn its owner—it’s very dangerous there.

Zhang Yuan stopped at the edge of the woods.

The forest before him was dark and silent.

Zhang Yuan’s gaze swept like a hawk, carefully searching from side to side.

Suddenly, murmuring whispers reached Zhang Yuan’s ears, instantly stimulating his keen senses.

The sound came from deep within the mountain forest, elusive and indistinct, like the chant of a songstress, or the recitation of a狂 poet, carrying an unpredictable madness!

Shadowy figures appeared silently in Zhang Yuan’s sight.

These shadows resembled twisted human forms, barely distinguishable by their heads, torsos, and limbs, but their true features were utterly obscured.

The shadows drifted back and forth in the forest, inching closer to Zhang Yuan.

Eerie!

Zhang Yuan finally understood what had frightened Da Hu so much.

The mountains harbored many sinister presences.

And this place was still some distance from the Qianfeng Mountain Range where such presences were unheard of before.

It was said that after haunting disasters, many places turned into Deceitful Realms, spawning all sorts of lesser and fierce sinister entities!

Zhang Yuan stepped back two paces.

He withdrew the arrow nocked on the Hunting Bow and then grabbed all remaining arrows.

A total of twenty Feathered Arrows!

With arrowheads pointing upward, Zhang Yuan abruptly activated the newly mastered Blood Burning Technique!

Ptoo!

The tip of his tongue snapped open, spraying a mouthful of vital blood onto the arrowheads.

Something strange happened.

The blood droplets adhered to the Triangular Arrowheads forged from fine iron, neither merging nor rolling off, completely absorbing into the metal’s surface, even appearing to seep in.

The lead-gray arrowheads suddenly took on a layer of hazy blood light!

Zhang Yuan then flipped his wrist and returned the blood-coated arrows back into the Quiver.

Leaving only one nocked between his fingers.

Once more, he drew the bow and arrow, pulling the three-stone Hunting Bow to seventy percent of its capacity, aiming at one of the shadows in the forest.

In the next moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly released the taut bowstring.

Whoosh!

The Feathered Arrow, filled with power, shot out like a bolt of lightning, crossing dozens of meters in the blink of an eye and piercing the target.

Despite seemingly doing no harm, the shadow distorted violently, a large hole tearing open in its center, the gap quickly widening.

Crreeee!

A sharp screech suddenly erupted as the shadow flew fiercely toward Zhang Yuan.

But before it could leave the forest, it vanished entirely!

[Source Material +0.5]

The burning sensation on the back of his left hand, along with the sudden prompt in his vision, left Zhang Yuan astonished.

What kind of sinister entity was this?

Clearly, he had just killed a sinister presence.

Yet Zhang Yuan never would have imagined that hunting sinister entities could bring him valuable Source Material.

This was certainly an unexpected gain!

In the past, Zhang Yuan had to offer sacrifices or lay to rest any hunted creatures to acquire Source Material.

Through experiments, he’d found—

That no Source Material was ever gained from livestock bought with money.

But now, without offering sacrifices, he could still accumulate Source Material.

Zhang Yuan felt as if a new door had opened for him!

He suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, swiftly drawing a second arrow to nock and string.

At this moment, the sinister beings in the forest, growing more frenzied, had turned into treasures in Zhang Yuan’s eyes.

[Source Material +0.4], [Source Material +0.6], [Source Material +0.5]...

Arrows coated in vital blood whistled into the forest, piercing shadow after twisted shadow.

The sinister entities that ordinary people couldn’t kill disintegrated rapidly.

Zhang Yuan’s vision filled with prompts!

Though each sinister entity provided minimal Source Material, accumulated together, it became considerable.

Zhang Yuan shot arrow after arrow, his excitement indescribable.

However, when he reached for the Quiver again, he found only emptiness.

All twenty arrows had been exhausted.

But the sinister beings remained numerous, rushing toward him!

Zhang Yuan immediately retreated using Ripple Step, discarding the Hunting Bow.

He drew the Yanling Saber and once more activated the Blood Burning Technique.

Ptoo!

Another mouthful of vital blood sprayed onto the blade.

Zhang Yuan paused, boldly confronting the relentlessly pursuing sinister entities.

The distance between them closed rapidly.

He felt an intensely chilling presence rushing toward him.

"Kill!"

Zhang Yuan shouted fiercely.

Gripping the Long Blade tightly, he swept up heavy blood auras, surging like a mighty river, enveloping several sinister entities.

The Yanling Saber slashed broadly; in an instant, the chilling presence shattered into countless pieces.

Where the Sword Aura fell, the sinister entities disintegrated like snow under a scorching sun!

[Source Material +0.5], [Source Material +0.6], [Source Material +0.6]...

Zhang Yuan completely ignored the prompts in his vision.

The Wave-Cutting Saber Momentum unfolded endlessly, slashing and destroying all the approaching sinister entities.

The world regained its clarity!

Zhang Yuan exhaled deeply, feeling immensely satisfied.

To the ordinary people, sinister entities were a lifelong nightmare.

Even before awakening his past life memories, Zhang Yuan had frequently heard villagers speak of the sinister entities’ horrors.

They were more terrifying and dreadful than floods and ferocious beasts!

Over time, a deep-seated fear of sinister entities was sown in his heart.

This fear, ingrained in his bones, hadn’t completely disappeared even after regaining memories of his past life.

Knowing there were sinister entities in the Qianfeng Mountain,

he always hunted in the outer regions of the mountain range, not daring to venture further. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

But because of the Crow Sinister’s abilities,

Zhang Yuan gained more understanding of sinister entities.

And was no longer so fearful.

Yet an unforgiving sinister disaster made him truly grasp the power and terror of sinister entities!

Zhang Yuan dared to kill, dared to face formidable enemies.

But he had no way to deal with sinister entities.

Until today.

He realized, sinister entities can indeed be killed!

Although Zhang Yuan clearly knew,

these sinister entities were very low level; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so easily dealt with by him.

But he would only grow stronger in the future!

Zhang Yuan’s gaze turned to the distant, rolling Qianfeng Mountain Range.

One day, he vowed to set foot in that majestic mountain range and confront the terrifying sinister entities there.

Those would be the most glorious prey!
