Although rusted, it’s still so sharp. I wonder what material it’s made of?” Lin Feng looked at the dagger, unable to put it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He currently didn’t have a weapon in hand, and this dagger was just right to serve as one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The storage ring is also here…” Lin Feng noticed the storage ring on the skeletal finger and took it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, he couldn’t use Divine Sense, so naturally, it was difficult to probe into the treasures inside the storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng temporarily put the storage ring in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he gathered a pile of stones and put together a simple grave for the skeleton, burying it within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s said that the deceased find peace in burial; rest here, elder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng then departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left that valley, heading in the direction of the mountain village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Lin Feng was resting on the branch of a large tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was discovered by more than a dozen Double-winged Cannibal Rats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These rats were about three meters long, bloated, with sharp teeth, and possessed a pair of massive feathered wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These fierce beasts were far scarier than Yin Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Beasts only carried severe poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Double-winged Cannibal Rats not only had severe poison, but also carried germs, easily causing plagues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a plague breaks out, it would be catastrophic, claiming countless lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen Double-winged Cannibal Rats launched an attack on Lin Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng drew out his dagger, dodging the rats’ attacks while swinging the dagger to slash at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Feng’s advantage of speed showed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under attack by over a dozen Double-winged Cannibal Rats, ordinary people would find it hard to evade their attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Feng, owing to his incredible speed, was able to continuously dodge their claws and bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng seized the opportunity, using the dagger to rip the rats’ bodies, and was shocked when the dagger swiftly absorbed their blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the Double-winged Cannibal Rat turned into a desiccated corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood-sucking Dagger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dagger was indeed formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And rather eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He killed seven of the dozen rats, and the rest fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dagger only absorbed the blood of the first rat, ignoring the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dagger gave Lin Feng a strange feeling as if it had its own spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed it didn’t absorb the blood because it hadn’t met its criteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng smiled wryly, puzzled over why such a bizarre notion emerged in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Lin Feng thought of the Black Feathered Eagle, reduced to bones and flesh. Could it also be the work of the dagger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, this dagger was truly remarkable, not only absorbing blood but also the energy-laden beast meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rats had viruses, and their meat was toxic, unfit for consumption. Lin Feng set their corpses ablaze to prevent any plague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A day later, Lin Feng returned to the village, and everyone came to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers learned from Zhang Danian and others of Lin Feng’s prowess in effortlessly slaying mighty beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Feng now, everyone gazed at him with awe, as if he were divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man! You must be hungry just after returning; we’ve prepared lunch,” said the village chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng was indeed a bit hungry, so he went into the village with the chief and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village cooked meat soup today, using Jiaowei Tiger meat, of which a half portion was brought back by Zhang Danian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng told Zhang Danian not to sell it but to leave it for the villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aroma of the meat soup made many people salivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief instructed his wife to stew a pot of tiger meat specifically for Lin Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having heard of Lin Feng’s astonishing appetite from Zhang Danian, he worried it wouldn’t suffice, saying, “Eat up, young man, and I’ll have my wife cook more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng waved it off with a smile, saying, “No need to cook more, this is enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called Ying’er and Xiaoshen to eat with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few adolescent boys and girls envied the two, gazing eagerly at the large bowl of tiger meat, swallowing hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they drank the soup, it was rare to eat meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Village chief, why not divide half of the tiger meat for the kids?” suggested Lin Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could that be proper?” the chief replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, let them have a taste,” Lin Feng insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief nodded, placing half the meat in another bowl and had it cut and distributed among the kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, big brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother forever!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many children cheered, excited to have meat to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat quickly, it won’t taste good cold,” Lin Feng laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children nodded eagerly, treating it like precious Ginsengfruit, eating cautiously in small bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each wore a blissful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A meal with meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, it was happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, happiness is indeed simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng felt many emotions stir within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch, Lin Feng rested on a rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warm sunlight poured down as he adjusted his state, eyes slightly closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng planned to venture to the lair of the Evil Snake by the river and slay it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even common snake gallbladders were highly nutritious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone the powerful Evil Snake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could consume its gallbladder and drink its blood,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng’s body would swiftly recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, Xiaoshen looked at Lin Feng with admiration. Turning to Ying’er, he said, “Sister, I want to be as mighty as big brother someday, slaying beasts so everyone can eat meat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying’er replied, “One day, you can have big brother teach you Martial Arts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoshen’s eyes lit up, “If big brother is willing to teach me, I’m sure I’ll become very powerful too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Xiaoshen said, “Sister, why not marry big brother? If you do, he’ll be my brother-in-law, and then he’ll surely teach me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying’er’s cheeks instantly turned crimson, stammering for a while before fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After 11:30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Feng stood up, heading toward the river thirty miles away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river was dangerous territory, often drawing many beasts to drink, like Yin Beasts and even Skeleton Giant Lizards. Moreover, many Fierce Beasts lurked in the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Evil Snake resided deep in the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumors spoke of even more terrifying beasts than the Evil Snake in the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, villagers dared not approach the riverbank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers fetched drinking water from pits they dug, resulting in murky and bitter water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, villagers cherished this turbid water more than life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water is the source of life; no one can live without it, not even cultivators, who also need water for various bodily needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen minutes later, Lin Feng arrived at the riverbank. The river spanned about a hundred meters wide, with deep waters, and scattered around were Yin Beasts drinking water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yin Beasts noticed Lin Feng’s intrusion, many growling ominously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Yin Beasts advanced toward Lin Feng, trying to encircle him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1179,"2026-06-05T18:34:27.479Z",1,"novelbin.me","22011d557629515abed745cb5782422febd21f5542471727922bbb79d9de8837","ancient-dragon-elephant-technique-chapter-1373","ancient-dragon-elephant-technique-chapter-1371",1565,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-dragon-elephant-technique-cover.jpg"]
