Chapter 53: Killing the Tiger and Returning

Deep within the gloomy mountain valley.

Du En's experiment was not yet finished; after breaking the gray-black demon tiger's leg to prevent it from escaping quickly, he immediately cast the Sand Raising Technique again.

With the thickness of his current mana, as long as he controlled it well, he could cast spells dozens of times without turning red or panting.

Start increasing the intensity.

The Sand Raising Technique, which has achieved minor success.

Whoosh—

The raised sand carried the wind and began to howl; the fine, dense sand grains, harder and tougher than steel balls, were like buckshot, spraying directly onto the gray-black demon tiger.

With one person missing, and Du En at that, the work efficiency of the corpse buriers dropped visibly to the naked eye.

In less than half an hour, they dug a large pit capable of burying the corpses.

Would he encounter danger?

Of course, the parts on the outside stained with filth could be discarded, because they were difficult to clean.

In other words, as long as he wanted to, he could change its specific form within a certain range.

When he got close, the demon tiger, which had looked dead, suddenly erupted with ferocity.

Moreover, he had clearly anticipated this long ago!

Du En had indeed anticipated it long ago, but he did not test the Earth Bullet Technique, which had achieved minor success, choosing to keep a trick up his sleeve.

Pacing anxiously over here, muttering to himself, he drove a change in the atmosphere, and even those who originally trusted Du En could not help but start to feel uneasy.

By the time the filling was finished, it was only just noon; the day was still early.

Harder, faster, and more yellow sand howled into existence, directly covering a small portion of the demon tiger's body.

In the afternoon, the sun was still scorching.

Du En said this as he threw the bag of demon beast meat chunks onto the cart.

Du En nodded silently, then walked over.

Very quickly, the waterproof tarpaulin he had prepared just in case could no longer wrap it all.

The remaining few hundred catties could only be slightly processed, then thrown into a deep valley elsewhere, to benefit other lucky wild beasts, demon beasts, or people.

Its claws and teeth were covered in cold demon power; at this moment, it struck fiercely, without a shred of hesitation or mercy, only the most desperate and vicious intent!

Du En fished a few stalks of Corpse Yin Grass from his bosom.

Du En, who had just returned, looked at this scene and subconsciously had this thought.

However, as long as this kid Du En wasn't greedy, pulling out one stalk, blinding it with sand, running away with Earth Armor, and sneaking off while concealing his aura, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Although this demon tiger had been beaten into a sieve by him, it was not a big problem; as time passed, the sand formed by mana would dissipate on its own, and what didn't could be extracted manually.

The two gray jackals were almost scared to the point of peeing themselves.

Pitter-patter!

His gaze was calm as he threw another punch.

Sigh—!

On the barren corpse-burying ground, there was no shade; the air was slightly distorted by the sun, and the people were drenched in sweat, their mouths dry and tongues parched.

Wanting to use external objects to take shortcuts, only to end up anxious, uneasy, and fearful of loss...

Because he didn't need to hide anything and the earth shovels on his hands were even comparable to magical artifacts, his digging efficiency at this moment was even a bit fiercer than an excavator.

As if receiving a fatal blow, the demon tiger let out a miserable shriek.

Du En arrived in front of the demon tiger's corpse and began to nimbly butcher the meat.

"As long as you don't get hit."

"Over here."

A whole nest of grass was pulled up by the roots?

And this, this, the demon beast was also finished off?

Ren Li suddenly stopped and looked up, filled with disbelief, "So fast?"

Thinking of this, Ren Li couldn't help but stand up and pace on the spot, his brows tightly furrowed.

"How did you do it?!"

Looking around, Du En thought this while adjusting the Earth Armor Technique.

"Hmm, because this beast was carrying corpses in the mountain forest, I just happened to follow it back, saving the time spent searching."

The Sand Raising Technique, which originally could only affect vision and cause minor skin wounds, now directly shrouded the massive tiger head, penetrating several inches deep and punching out dense, tiny holes from which scarlet blood oozed, staining a small part of the demon tiger's body red and making it, which already appeared listless, even more at death's door, with only low whimpers.

"You're back?"

In this situation, even Ren Li was feeling a bit anxious and fearful of loss, not entirely immersed in his insights.

It immediately realized that it was not hitting a humanoid object, but was futilely opposing a mountain peak; even with all its might, it could not make that hand deviate by even a fraction.

For example, right now, the Earth Armor on both hands was being catalyzed by Du En's mana into two earth shovels.

Anyway, this was enough.

This rotten meat could be used directly as minced meat, saving the effort of processing it.

"Haha, not bad! Not bad! That's it!"

Upon realizing that the newcomer was fierce and that the possibility of escape was lost, it decided, under the influence of its vicious instincts, to seek survival through death!

It contracted all its demon power, concentrating it on key parts, waiting only for the enemy to approach carelessly before launching the most ferocious surprise attack!

People dying wasn't the most important thing; the Corpse Yin Grass was. It was said that demon beasts haunted that area, and since ancient times, spiritual objects were accompanied by demon objects; both people and demons wanted them, so fighting and killing were inevitable.

After finishing this, Du En did not hesitate in the slightest; carrying the prime parts on his back, he quickly and stealthily left the area.

When the Earth Armor Technique reached the proficient stage, with skillful mastery, one could even carve flowers and decorations on it; and the current minor success naturally allowed for even more detailed control.

Du En raised his hand to block the tiger claw.

"I'm back."

However, over half a year had passed, and it couldn't be said that there was no realization at all, only that there was a tiny bit.

"Roar!!!"

Could he succeed?

A fist wrapped in earth armor, superior to a magic tool of the same rank, shattered teeth and exploded a head with one punch, causing this thousand-jin great tiger's demon power to dissipate, leaving it with no more breath!

"Running into me, you can consider yourselves lucky."

A tiger's prestige remains even after death; this was not something they could withstand.

Then, he started his old trade right here.

It was not just because this backbone had high efficiency in burying corpses, but also because he was the backbone.

A single rat dropping ruins a whole pot of porridge.

"I cannot delay here for too long; one step slow, every step slow. I must break through to Foundation Establishment within a few years, otherwise..."

Whoosh—

"Where is my grass?"

Once this spell was unleashed, the mana drained away rapidly and very noticeably; even Du En could only cast it ten times.

"The power is alright."

He was already feeling some regret.

Ren Li could not believe it; if he hadn't seen wrong, this was a mid-stage Rank 1 demon beast. Relying on a physical advantage stronger than a Qi Refining stage cultivator of the same rank, let alone Du En, who was at the early Qi Refining stage, even a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator would likely be severely injured by a single slap.

Digging pits and burying corpses.

After the Sand Raising, one could only see that the area where the demon tiger had just been covered was completely tattered and riddled with holes, with not a single piece of good flesh to be seen.

Bang.

Besides this, there were bones that could be used to make soup, the massive heart that the demon tiger had been protecting, and some other internal parts.

Ren Li did not care about this; he paced over quickly, and the crowd only felt a blur before their eyes, seeing him already at the handcart, scaring the Gray Jackal so much that it truly wet itself.

It clearly seemed like it was about to be touched, yet there was a sheer cliff separating them; other than accumulating over time and punching through it bit by bit, one could only think of ways to see if it could be bypassed.

Ren Li, who took it to examine, appeared excited, and then, he suddenly froze.

Wait, several stalks?

Next was the mastered Sand Raising Art.

Du En said as a matter of course.
