Chapter 161 Spirit Beast Mountain
Chapter 161 Spirit Beast Mountain
Lu He hurriedly crawled towards the stream, using his completely unfamiliar limbs to roll forward with a difficult gait, stumbling every three steps and falling every five.
I'm really sorry, I'm used to walking on two legs, and suddenly I have to walk on four legs, I don't know how to walk.
In this distance of less than fifty meters, Lu He completed the entire process of early limb domestication of animals.
She literally scrambled and crawled until she finally reached the stream and looked at the water.
A small black cat came into view, its eyes like two emeralds, sparkling with intelligence.
The pointed ears, like alert listening devices, twitched and caught every rustle of the surroundings.
Lu He stared in surprise at her reflection in the water: Is that black cat me?
She tentatively turned her head left and right, and the little black cat reflected on the water also shook its head.
She blinked, and it blinked too.
She lifts her leg, and it lifts its leg too.
How interesting! Lu He never dreamed that she would have the chance to be a cat in this lifetime.
But what kind of villain is a cat?
Isn't it enough to just find a human, meow at them, and live a happy and comfortable life forever?
Lu He stuck out her butt, raised her tail, and stretched.
Suddenly, a crystal of memory flew down from the sky and struck Lu He in the center of his forehead.
Memories of the little black cat came flooding back like a tidal wave.
A snow-white cat stood side by side with a little black cat on this Spirit Beast Mountain.
Its fur is thick and soft, like fresh snow falling on pine branches. Its blue eyes are deep and mysterious, as if they can see through everything. Its tail is light and fluffy, like a white cloud drifting by.
It has a red flower on its forehead, like the forehead markings of some kind of spiritual practitioner.
It turns out that this world is a world of mythical beasts from mountains and seas, where only demonic beasts cultivate.
The black cat that Lu He was traveling through and the white cat were originally fellow cultivators. The two of them had cultivated into human form hundreds of years ago.
The white cat's name is Tan You, and he is the male protagonist of this comic.
Tan You possesses all the advantages of a male protagonist, having fortuitously found the only spiritual vein in the Spirit Beast Mountain from the very beginning of his cultivation.
He slipped and fell into the center of the spiritual vein, his blood entering the core. The spiritual vein trembled and absorbed his blood.
The spiritual vein sensed the phoenix inner core within Tan You's body and thus recognized him as its master.
In the Spirit Beast Mountain, only Tan You can freely enter and exit the spiritual veins to cultivate; other demonic beasts cannot enter the barrier.
Of course, "If you become rich and powerful, don't forget your friends," so Tan You took his best friend, the black cat, into the depths of the spiritual vein to cultivate.
The black cat was named Qinwu. She was insanely jealous of Tanyou. Even though she was enjoying the spiritual veins that Tanyou had given her, she always wanted to possess them all by herself.
Then, Tan You told Qin Wu about the phoenix inner core he had learned about in the spiritual vein.
Qin Wu then conceived the idea of seizing the inner core.
Finally, one day she found an opportunity and almost killed Tan You, but unexpectedly activated the phoenix power in his body. Qin Wu was severely injured, knocked into the valley, and lost her form.
Qin Wu is currently injured, so she is in the form of a black cat.
After reading the previous summary, Lu He was completely confused.
It seems this villain deserved it; he couldn't stand seeing others do better than him and was too possessive of what others had.
As a result, he almost died.
As she was thinking, the task was sent out.
Golden lettering appeared in the sky.
Task 1: Dominate Spirit Beast Mountain.
Task Two: Seize the Phoenix's Inner Core.
Both of these tasks are very difficult, unless there is some kind of evil magic that can quickly increase demonic power.
First of all, without Tan You, the spiritual vein couldn't be entered. Now, he's also injured and can't even take physical form.
"Am I powerful in this world right now?" Lu He asked the system.
"Hmm, a little stronger than Little Demon. Don't worry, the worldview will be delivered to you soon." The system told her to calm down.
Sure enough, the levels of the monsters quickly appeared in Lu He's mind.
The setup is very simple and easy to understand; it's just levels one through twenty, represented by simple numbers.
"So what is my level now..." Lu He squinted as he checked Qin Wu's level.
Hmm... Level 6... That's just a little bit stronger than a minor demon. The maximum level is 20. Oh, it seems like the talent is good. It can reach the top level.
"Where is Tan You?" Lu He continued to inquire.
Wow, good heavens, no wonder he's the male lead. His name shows he's currently at level six, but his potential is questionable.
"You think I can beat this thing? And steal its phoenix core? System, are you trying to kill me before I die?"
"Don't worry, the map and the original comic are being given to you for free. You can check them anytime. Doesn't that give you an advantage over the original comic characters?" the system reassured her.
"You've said all that," Lu He's eyes darted around, "Where's the female lead? Isn't there a female lead in this volume?"
"Uh, yes, there are more than one. This manga is a harem anime, you know..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking, it's disgusting. I really do want to kill the male lead now." Lu He made a disgusted face like a cat.
