I Start with a Mysterious Island-Chapter 144 - 143: A One-of-a-Kind Special Method

’This should be enough. I can’t use up all my Spiritual Energy. I have to save enough to escape into the Mysterious Small Island...’

When the Spiritual Energy remaining in his Dantian was just enough for him to retreat into the Mysterious Small Island, Lin Li stopped expanding the Cyan Wind Blade.

At this point, the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast had already charged to within ten meters of Lin Li, and the Cyan Wind Blade in his hand had grown to nearly a meter in diameter.

"Take this..."

As Lin Li swung his left hand toward the charging Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast, the crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade he had formed, nearly a meter wide, shot out with a WHOOSH.

"SKREEE..."

Making a final, desperate struggle, the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast had no way to dodge. The instant before impact, it suddenly twisted its head to the right.

"PFFT."

The nearly meter-wide, crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade struck the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast’s neck. A huge gash, dozens of centimeters deep, instantly appeared.

’Huh??? Is this Mutant Beast an idiot? It actually took my Wind Blade with its vulnerable neck.’

Lin Li was stunned by the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast’s baffling maneuver. He couldn’t understand why a Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast at the Second Rank Initial Stage would make such a foolish move.

With its neck severely wounded, blood spewed from the massive gash like a fountain the moment it appeared.

"THUD."

Having suffered such a grievous injury, the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast collapsed to the ground, letting out agonized shrieks as it thrashed its limbs violently.

"Skree, skree, skree..."

Actually, the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast had intended to take Lin Li’s Giant Wind Blade with its flank. Unfortunately, it was too exhausted. The idea was good, but its body couldn’t keep up with its intentions.

The result was the scene Lin Li had witnessed: after turning its head, it ended up taking the razor-sharp Giant Wind Blade directly on its vulnerable neck.

’This Mutant Beast is a real piece of work! It would be great if all Second Rank Initial Stage Mutant Beasts were this stupid.’

Lin Li muttered, watching the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast twitching in a pool of its own blood.

...

The sun sank in the west, and weary birds returned to the forest.

The crimson sunset glow reflected in the pool of blood where the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast lay.

A figure holding a Spiritual Longsword that radiated a faint golden Spiritual Light swiftly approached the head of the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast.

The next moment, the figure swung the Spiritual Longsword in their hand.

"PFFT."

"Skree..."

As the Spiritual Longsword, glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light, pierced its brain, the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast—already on the verge of death from blood loss—let out a single, faint squeak before breathing its last.

"Huuuh..."

After spending so much time on this Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast, he had finally dealt with it. Having slain the beast, Lin Li let out a long breath.

The moment his taut nerves relaxed, a wave of exhaustion washed over him.

’I was planning to head home, but after being held up by this Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast, I’m afraid I won’t make it back to the safe zone before the sun disappears completely.’

"DRING DRING DRING..."

Just as Lin Li was about to store the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast’s carcass in the Mysterious Small Island, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He pulled out his phone and saw Su Yue’s name on the screen.

"Hello?"

Lin Li answered the call while crouching down. He placed his right hand on the Giant Field Mouse Mutant Beast’s corpse and, with a thought, stored it in the Mysterious Small Island.

"Lin Li, I’m about to start cooking. You can head over soon," a soft, gentle, and pleasant voice came from the phone.

"Okay, I’ll leave as soon as I can..." the exhausted Lin Li said to Su Yue, his eyes on the last rays of the setting sun.

"CAW CAW CAW..."

Just as Lin Li finished speaking, a flock of birds flew over his head, making a racket.

"It’s so noisy over there! Where are all those birds coming from?"

"..." Looking at the large flock of birds flying away, Lin Li casually explained, "I don’t know, some huge flock of birds just flew over the neighborhood. So noisy... Anyway, that’s that. I’ll pack up and head to your place."

"Mm... Oh, right, I’m out of drinks at my place. Can you bring a few bottles when you come over?"

Walking into the kitchen, Su Yue picked up the apron hanging on the wall. She had suddenly remembered they were out of drinks, so she mentioned it.

"Sure," Lin Li nodded, then hung up the phone.

The sky was growing darker. Based on his recent experience in the wilderness, he estimated that in another ten or twenty minutes, night would completely fall upon the desolate landscape.

’I need to hurry!’ Lin Li glanced one last time at the setting sun, which was about to disappear. With a thought, a brand-new motorcycle appeared on the grass.

Time was tight. He got on the motorcycle that had cost him six thousand five hundred.

"VROOOM..."

The loud roar echoed through the silent wilderness, startling birds hiding in distant trees.

"CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP..." Dozens of ordinary birds beat their wings and took off from the leafy trees. They found the sound terrifying and wanted to find a safer tree to rest in.

"VROOOM..."

Twisting the throttle, he revved the engine. With a lurch, Lin Li shot forward on the motorcycle.

Out here in the treacherous wilderness, there were no Security Officers to tell Lin Li he was speeding and needed to slow down.

The terrain in the wilderness was so terrible that even though the motorcycle Lin Li bought could handle some areas, he couldn’t push it to its top speed.

"AWOOOO..."

About a dozen Tier One Wolf Mutant Beasts heard the loud roar from a distance. They howled to each other and then sprinted toward the source of the sound.

It wasn’t that Exotic Beast Hunters had never thought of driving off-road vehicles or dirt bikes into the wilderness.

But the reality was, when you drove any kind of vehicle, even if you managed the terrible road conditions in the wilderness and were moving at a high or steady speed, the tremendous noise from the vehicle would easily attract the attention of Mutant Beasts, with a high probability of drawing them toward you.

It was one thing if you were near the safe zone. But once you were deep in the wilderness, if you made a loud noise and attracted Mutant Beasts whose power far exceeded your ability to handle them, you were finished.

This was the main reason why Exotic Beast Hunters didn’t use vehicles to venture deep into the wilderness.

However, Lin Li was different from those other Exotic Beast Hunters. He could store his vehicle in the Mysterious Small Island.

He could go deep into the wilderness without a vehicle, but on the way back, he could retrieve it from the Mysterious Small Island at any time for a quick return trip.
