Chapter 4: The two of them look at each other in the melon field under the moon

Xu Hei had just left for a short time.

A half-grown child ran to the place where the pig demon died, pointed at the blood on the ground, and shouted excitedly.

In the back, a farmer rolled up his sleeves and rushed over.

"Dad! Great, the pig demon who killed my mother is dead and swallowed by the big snake." The child shouted excitedly.

Unexpectedly, the farmer picked up a stick and hit him on the buttocks, and the child cried loudly.

"You dare to come out! Be careful that the old snake king will eat you, go back quickly!" The farmer scolded, picked up the child's ear and left.

…………

Xu Hei held the demon core and returned to the forest quickly. Although the trip was smooth, he felt a chill in his back and was still frightened.

"Fortunately, I was cautious enough. If I rushed up rashly and fought with the pig demon, it would be hard to say whether I would win or lose!"

Xu Hei was scared. He actually encountered a demon beast, just like him.

As for the level of the spiritual period, Xu Hei was not sure. It was right to be cautious. You never know what kind of existence the other party is.

After swallowing the wild boar, his body expanded by twice. Fortunately, he was not slow. Xu Hei dragged his huge body back to his tree hole.

This tree hole was the temporary residence he was looking for. He had repeatedly confirmed that there were no signs of large-scale biological activities within a radius of five miles.

Xu Hei lay in the tree hole, consuming the wild boar meat he had just eaten.

The meat of the monster was indeed good, rich in qi and blood, and more resistant to hunger than ordinary meat. It was not until the next morning that Xu Hei had digested one-third of it.

He felt that he was closer to the second level of the spiritual period.

At this time, he took out the black monster core.

The monster core, also called the inner elixir, contains the essence of the monster's life spirit. It is a good material for alchemy, refining, and making talismans.

Swallowing the monster core alive is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, your meridians will be broken and your body will explode and die. It is usually used to make pills.

"This human knowledge may not be suitable for me. Why do monsters have so many requirements?" Xu Hei was a little skeptical.

…………

Another day passed.

The next night, Xu Hei opened his eyes. The wild boar meat had been digested. His muscles and meridians felt a little satisfied, like a bucket that had been filled with water.

Xu Hei immediately made a decision - break through!

Xu Hei held the monster core in his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and crushed it with his teeth, making a crunching sound.

In an instant, a violent energy swept out of the monster core and rushed towards Xu Hei's meridians and bones, roaring continuously.

He felt a little pain in his body, but he could bear it completely.

Sure enough, the physique of monsters and humans cannot be generalized.

"Break!"

Xu Hei's mind moved.

The violent power suddenly boiled, and his body crackled, changing at an incredible speed. This was the transformation of the body.

The transformation was very fast at the beginning, but then it became slower and slower. Xu Hei's breath always stayed at the limit of the first level of the spiritual period.

Suddenly, the demon god cauldron in his body shook, and energy was sucked into it. The spiritual cloud quickly expanded, expanded a circle, and then compressed sharply to a point!

"Boom!!"

Xu Hei's body shook violently, and his momentum rose, rising step by step, and directly broke through that bottleneck.

The second level of the spiritual period!

"Success!"

Xu Hei exhaled a breath of turbid air, and was extremely happy.

At this time, the spiritual cloud in the demon god cauldron shrank to a point. The area was very small, but the concentration was more than ten times that of the previous one, which produced a qualitative change.

The success of the first breakthrough showed that he was not a mediocre person in cultivation.

But Xu Hei did not get carried away.

He is still in the early stage of spiritual communication. Unless he reaches the fourth level of spiritual communication and enters the middle level, there will be a fundamental change. At that time, he can use true energy and learn some basic spells.

Xu Hei is still far away from that level.

"Although hunting wild boars is dangerous, it can also bring opportunities." Xu Hei said in his heart.

Danger and opportunity coexist. If it weren't for the pig demon, it would have been difficult to make any progress in three to five years with just ordinary food.

After Xu Hei felt his strength getting stronger, he cherished his life even more.

…………

A day later, Xu Hei revisited the old place and returned to the watermelon field.

This is the instinct of the monsters. They will move within the territory they are familiar with. Generally, they will not leave their activity area unless they encounter major dangers.

Xu Hei hoped that he could meet the second pig demon. Although the possibility was very small, he still chose to wait and see. This was the safest way.

Not only Xu Hei, many wild animals have their own fixed hunting grounds.

The whole day passed, and there was no trace of wild boars. Instead, the melon farmer reappeared in the watermelon field and brought manure water for fertilizer.

At night, the half-grown child also appeared, holding a book in his hand, but not long after, he was twisted back by his father.

Xu Hei waited for a day, not to mention wild boars, not even a mouse.

He looked at the big green watermelon under the moonlight, and suddenly his eyes flashed.

"Wild boars feed on watermelons, and I feed on wild boars. Can I skip this step and eat watermelons directly?" Xu Hei had a bold idea in his mind.

Xu Hei is not an ordinary monster. Since he was born with intelligence, he would think about some logical problems from time to time. Just like a baby who is in contact with the world for the first time, he is full of curiosity.

With a try-it mentality, Xu Hei crawled to a big watermelon, opened his snake mouth, and swallowed a watermelon into his stomach.

As the abdominal muscles rolled, the watermelon rind was squeezed and broken by him, and exploded in his stomach.

Xu Hei could feel that his blood and qi had been replenished, although it was very little.

"It's edible, but it's about the same as the blood and qi of a mouse." Xu Hei made an estimate.

Since he could eat watermelon, it means he could also eat potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other plants. With his current digestive ability, he could even digest the bones of a pig monster, so these were naturally not a problem.

However, although he could eat it, his body instinctively resisted and was unwilling to eat this kind of food.

"I hope I can have some meat tonight."

Xu Hei thought to himself.

A day passed, and Xu Hei waited until late at night, and finally waited for a badger.

Xu Hei first scanned the circle with his spiritual sense to confirm that the other party was not a monster, and then he immediately took action, attacking it like lightning, entangled the badger, opened his mouth and swallowed it, all in one go.

Feeling his bulging stomach, Xu Hei was satisfied.

"Let's go."

Xu Hei had a good meal and turned around to leave.

But at this moment, he was suddenly startled.

Under the moonlight, a boy holding a fork was standing not far in front of him, holding the fork, staring at Xu Hei with a dull look, motionless, like a sculpture.
