A brown pill suddenly appeared in front of Yang Fan, landing before him.
The pill emitted a unique fragrance, refreshing the heart and spleen.
“Level 1 Beast Essence Pill!”
While Mengji was engaged in a fierce battle, Yang Fan immediately put away the pill and checked the information on his wrist screen.
[Level 1 Beast Essence Pill: Refined from exotic beast blood, containing the essence of an exotic beast’s flesh.]
[Realm Explorers acquire resources in different realms to enhance their physical strength. When reaching a bottleneck that cannot be surpassed, by using the Beast Essence Pill, one can break through the limits of the human body, achieving a physical breakthrough.]
“Break through the limits of the human body?!” Yang Fan’s heart surged upon reading this explanation.
He recalled An Ya effortlessly leaving marks on the metal pipes!
In simple terms, this pill is the key for Realm Explorers to transcend ordinary humans!
However, the instructions also mentioned that before achieving a physical breakthrough, one must elevate their body to its peak state.
Yang Fan’s situation was exceptionally unique, and he was unsure if there was any room left for improvement in his body.
At that moment, the voice resounded once again, this time in rapid succession.
[You have successfully hunted and killed a Rank 1 juvenile exotic beast. My trial, the first objective, has been achieved for the second time. ]
[The first objective has been achieved for the third time.]
[The first objective has been completed for the fourth time.]
Yang Fan hurriedly glanced towards the direction of the grass. After the recent battle, four Mengji cubs lay motionless in a pool of blood, having fallen in combat.
Out of the six Mengji engaged in battle, four had perished!
The first objective can be completed a total of five times, and in an instant, Yang Fan had already achieved it four times!
Three pieces of flesh, each the size of a thumbnail, fell in front of Yang Fan. At first glance, they resembled chunks of beef, landing before him.
Yang Fan immediately checked his wrist screen.
[Rank 1 Exotic Beast Spirit Flesh: Flesh of a Rank 1 exotic beast, obtained from a Rank 1 exotic beast. Consuming it not only significantly replenishes energy but also slightly repairs physical injuries, enhancing physical qualities to a small extent.]
[The worse the body’s condition, the better the enhancement effect. The lower the rank, the better the effect. For those who have not achieved a physical breakthrough, a maximum of one piece can be consumed at a time, once per day.]
Wide-eyed, Yang Fan stared at the flesh before him, amazed by its miraculous properties.
He immediately consumed one piece and then pocketed the other two, placing them alongside the Beast Essence Pill.
As the spirit flesh went down his throat, a warm flow spread throughout his body, leaving him feeling relaxed.
Soon, Yang Fan sensed a surge of strength coursing through his entire being, a sensation he had never experienced before, suddenly feeling an abundance of untapped energy.
Anxious to assess his current status, Yang Fan quickly used his wrist screen to test his current data.
[Current data values: Strength 58, Speed 54, Stamina 42.]
Yang Fan widened his eyes in astonishment. Just by consuming one piece of Exotic Beast Spirit Flesh, his physical qualities had improved by almost twenty percent!
Although still far below that of an average person, his condition had significantly improved from before!
“My physical foundation is poor, and the enhancement effect is greater. My low physical qualities were actually due to stunted growth during my developmental stage, leading to poor development. The Exotic Beast Spirit Flesh has improved this!” Yang Fan exclaimed excitedly.
Initially, Yang Fan had not planned to insist on completing all five instances of the first objective. However, after realizing the enhancement the Exotic Beast Spirit Flesh had on him, he found himself irresistibly desiring to obtain all of them!
At that moment, Yang Fan’s train of thought was interrupted by that familiar voice.
[You have completed the first objective and have now activated the second objective.]
[Second objective: Investigate the source of pollution in the Qilin Lair, find the Crimson Qilin Fruit from the contaminated Qilin Fruit, and achieve a physical breakthrough.]
[The Qilin Lair is located to your northwest.]
[Reward: One Qilin Claw.]
Having completed the initial first objective four times, Yang Fan had already unlocked the second objective.
With a sudden influx of information and knowing he was not entirely safe at the moment, as adult Mengji could appear unexpectedly, Yang Fan made a mental note of the second objective without delving into details. He then turned his attention to the two remaining Mengji in the field.
At this point, Yang Fan was increasingly certain that the hallucinogenic poison was ineffective in directly killing the juvenile Mengji. If not for encountering multiple creatures, he would have struggled to complete the hunt.
However, even the hallucinogenic effects seemed to be waning now.
The two Mengji were exhausted, covered in wounds. As the effects of the poison diminished, the two creatures began to separate for longer periods.
Suddenly, one of the Mengji made a desperate leap and fled into the opposite thicket.
The other Mengji seemed dazed, standing motionless as it gazed blankly at the body on the ground. After a moment of confusion, it lowered its head to see the long bloodstain on its abdomen.
During the recent skirmish, its abdomen had been clawed, causing incessant bleeding.
It licked the fresh blood oozing from the wound, but was unable to stop it.
Soon, its eyes once again exuded a fierce aura. It shook its head, then swiftly pursued the Mengji it had been tracking, dashing off.
As the two Mengji disappeared from view, Yang Fan hesitated.
The effects of the hallucinogenic poison were becoming increasingly unstable, indicating its imminent end.
Both Mengji were heavily injured and nearly depleted of strength, possibly facing death directly during their escape.
“If I can kill one more, I can obtain an additional piece of Exotic Beast Spirit Flesh,” Yang Fan furrowed his brow in deep thought.
Before him lay the bodies of four Mengji, all Rank 1 exotic beasts, with their flesh likely being Rank 1 Exotic Beast Spirit Flesh.
Unfortunately, their bodies were toxic!
The hallucinogenic poison might not kill the Mengji, but Yang Fan doubted his ability to withstand it.
The best course of action was to rely on completing the objective to obtain the Spirit Flesh.
At that moment, weak and mournful cries echoed from the direction the Mengji had fled.
The sounds seemed feeble and devoid of strength.
Excitement stirred within Yang Fan.
“Even if they are not fatally wounded, they are likely too weak to pose a threat to me. If I can just take one more shot, I can complete the final first objective.”
With the effects of the Exotic Beast Spirit Flesh in mind, Yang Fan burst out of the grass pile, tightly gripping the Grey Pine spear, and chased after the two Mengji.
The Mengji’s injuries were too severe; they hadn’t run far before collapsing in a grassy patch a hundred meters away.
They had finally ceased their struggle, but it was too late; their condition was dire.
Lying there, their eyes weakened as they gazed around, emitting feeble cries. It was unclear whether they were calling out for help from other adult Mengji.
With time running short and the two Mengji incapacitated, Yang Fan wasted no time. Bursting out of the woods, he raised the Grey Pine spear and ruthlessly plunged it into one of the creatures.
Whoosh, two sharp sounds cut through the air from the east, followed swiftly by two one-meter-long arrows piercing the hearts of the two Mengji in advance!
Unable to even cry out, the Mengji met their demise simultaneously.
Yang Fan gazed in shock towards the east.
From an iron needle tree, two figures cloaked in iron needle leaves leaped down from the tree and stood before Yang Fan in an instant.
At the sight of these two individuals, Yang Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
Although they were well disguised, Yang Fan recognized them at a glance—they were two new recruits on assessment duty!
