Chapter 1116 - 371: A Pig’s Vision and Tragic Heroism

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the sounder of Short-Catching Pigs in the bamboo forest, these had been two days shrouded in misfortune.

Su Yue put on a masterful display of fancy pig-slaughtering tricks.

Under his relentless slaughter, twelve Short-Catching Pigs had already fallen victim.

On his shoulder, Su Yue carried a massive Beast Selection Hide Bag, which held twelve Jade-Edged Bamboos.

Although Su Yue’s Diligence Points had plummeted significantly, his heart felt warm.

After all, he was working for his dad. Of all virtues, filial piety came first!

"With just eight more Jade-Edged Bamboos, I can complete the task Dad gave me.

"It will definitely give him a huge surprise."

Adopting a wretched posture, Su Yue once again hid deep within the Seven-Edged Bamboo.

If not for the slow recovery of his Qi Blood, Su Yue felt he could have killed even more Short-Catching Pigs.

He had no other choice. The Divine Soldiers battle axe had its pros and cons; the longer he used it, the more he felt it consumed far too much Qi Blood.

Furthermore, the Short-Catching Pigs were becoming increasingly cunning. Even in coordination with his Invisibility Technique, Su Yue had missed his target several times.

However, things were progressing quite well. For now, Su Yue’s performance was becoming increasingly stable.

In truth, Su Yue was completely unaware of his own Ravenous Wolf.

Let alone ordinary Rank-Five martial artists, even the absolute best among them like Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang wouldn’t dare to imagine Su Yue’s recovery speed.

In just two days, he had chopped down thirteen Seven-Edged Bamboos and killed twelve Short-Catching Pigs.

Basically, for every three times he swung the Divine Soldiers battle axe, Su Yue would face an episode of Qi Blood depletion.

This kind of recovery speed was already enough to make anyone jealous.

It had to be known that the Heiye Pill was originally a miraculous item. Now that it had been re-compressed into Su Yue’s body by Mo Kai, it had actually undergone a further transformation.

Su Yue simply didn’t realize how truly blessed he was.

...

Available Diligence Points: 64,582

1: Sleep Exemption

2: The Price of Love (Next use costs 5,500 Diligence Points)

3: Saving Your Dog Life

4: Man and Ghost Differ

5: Wretched Invisibility

6: Deaf and Blind

Qi Blood Value: 3,374 Cal.

...

Over the course of two days, the speed of Su Yue’s cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds. He was basically guaranteed an increase of 10 Cal of Qi Blood every day.

Given Su Yue’s current state, maintaining a daily increase of 10 Cal was nothing short of a miracle.

The cluster of Spiritual Qi inside his body was incredibly effective.

"Got you! Don’t even think about running!"

After lying in wait for a long time, Su Yue finally succeeded in capturing another Short-Catching Pig.

Following a flurry of skillful maneuvers, Su Yue harvested another Jade-Edged Bamboo.

"I heard these Jade-Edged Bamboos can fetch quite a good price and are considered rare items in the Divine Land. I should try to gather as much as possible so Dad can barter with them.

"I really am such a filial son."

Su Yue praised himself for a moment, then lay back against a tree to rest.

For Grandmaster Powerhouses, bartering was sometimes the preferred method, since ordinary money wasn’t all that meaningful to them.

The only pity was that he didn’t have any pills to purge the impurities from his body.

But this wasn’t a big deal either. He would just discuss it with his dad when he came to find him.

After recovering his Qi Blood, Su Yue studied the distribution of the Short-Catching Pigs’ droppings and found another exquisite spot to lay an ambush.

Invisibility!

Wait!

The most agonizing thing for Su Yue was how quickly his Diligence Points were draining.

After all, Wretched Invisibility consumed points by the minute.

...

Another day passed in the blink of an eye.

The Beast Selection Hide Bag on Su Yue’s back had grown even more massive; he had already gathered twenty Jade-Edged Bamboos.

Yet, only three days had passed.

Su Yue had miscalculated—he had underestimated his own excellence.

His dad wouldn’t expect him to have gathered the required amount already, so he would probably still arrive in about ten days.

Even though Su Yue wanted to deliver the Jade-Edged Bamboos immediately, he had no choice but to wait obediently in the bamboo forest.

There was nothing he could do. Su Qingfeng had set up a double lockdown from the outside, making it impossible for him to leave. Naturally, this was also for his own safety.

"Forget it. The night is long, so I might as well keep slaughtering pigs," Su Yue muttered.

Truth be told, it was a little strange.

This sounder of Short-Catching Pigs was absolutely the most despicable type of demonic beast, bar none.

Even though Su Yue had consecutively killed over twenty of them, these beasts were still trying to find ways to make him miserable.

The Short-Catching Pigs had also figured out Su Yue’s patterns.

When Su Yue wasn’t using Invisibility, the Short-Catching Pigs knew he couldn’t do anything to them.

Therefore, whenever Su Yue was chopping bamboo, they would endlessly come to harass him. One Short-Catching Pig even almost pissed right on Su Yue’s face.

They were a truly obnoxious group of pigs.

Su Yue killed another one.

He resumed chopping bamboo.

Sure enough, another Short-Catching Pig came to bother him.

It was an endless loop. Fortunately, there was only one pig this time, which made it relatively easy to deal with.

"If you don’t piss off, you’re the next pig I slaughter!"

SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK!

Su Yue turned his head impatiently and threatened with a ferocious expression.

In truth, Su Yue himself knew that his threat held very little persuasive power.

He simply couldn’t target a specific pig; all he could do was maintain his Invisibility and see which pig was unlucky enough to fall into his trap.

His current threat was merely a form of psychological comfort.

Dad was right. The evasive abilities of these Short-Catching Pigs were practically heaven-defying; at the very least, Su Yue’s speed was insufficient to catch them.

"Hero, are you interested in negotiating?"

However, the Short-Catching Pig that had come to harass him this time merely made a token gesture before calling out in a rather mysterious tone.

"Hmm?"

Su Yue put away his battle axe, and Vivi frowned.

"Hero, you need not doubt me. I am a smart pig who has forsaken the darkness for the light; I am a wise pig with a big-picture mindset."

SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK!

Seeing Su Yue’s confused expression, this pig let out a series of squeaks.

"Scram!" Su Yue cursed in annoyance.
