Fighting like this will definitely lose, it's killing me with anxiety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother upstairs, don't give blind instructions. Does an Eagle-Headed Demon have hands? Throat lock? Why don't you say slide over and give it an uppercut.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peck its neck, according to my observation this is a weak point, hitting it can cause a critical hit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the remote guidance of the livestream players, Lu Xing and the Strange Butterfly rolled together on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Lu Xing's third challenge to the Strange Butterfly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strange Butterfly, which had decisively fled from other players, saw its fear turn into an arrogant, condescending look after meeting him. Its raised head practically had the words \"I am very strong\" written on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Lu Xing furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strange Butterfly's attitude toward other players was the exact opposite of its attitude toward him, clearly identifying him as a weakling that could be bullied at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the mentality of washing away his shame, Lu Xing took the initiative to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the result remained unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that the players in the livestream were all bragging. Before the fight, they all said they would provide off-site combat coaching, and some players said they had learned ancient fist techniques, combat arts, genetic warrior fighting techniques... but these combat skills were useless for the Eagle-Headed Demon form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the Strange Butterfly's bullying, his resistance was very weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't even cause substantial damage to the Strange Butterfly. Calling it a battle was more like being beaten passively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Lu Xing was exhausted and lay limp on the ground, unable to fight anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strange Butterfly raised its lower limbs, stepped Lu Xing's head half into the soil, spread its wings, and looked down at him from a high position, its slightly playful eyes seeming to tell him: You are very weak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't get cocky, you stupid bird. Grandpa will slaughter you sooner or later. What kind of skill is it to bully a scenery-loving player like me? If you have the guts, go to the ancient battlefield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xing, who had already given up resistance, said weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap! Slap! Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Strange Butterfly couldn't understand Lu Xing's words, it heard a certain emotion in his tone and flapped its wings repeatedly to slap Lu Xing on the head, making him see stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to the physical pain, the sense of humiliation in his heart was more tormenting. Lu Xing swore in his heart that he would definitely slaughter this stupid bird that bullied the weak and feared the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strange Butterfly's final blow also struck at this time, and the screen was shrouded in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1 hour and 30 minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xing arrived at Wind Wave Pool again. This time, he brought a battle blade purchased for 70 points of sacrificial power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his fists and feet were no match, he decided to use weapons and fight in human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding his arrival again, a flash of doubt crossed the Strange Butterfly's eyes, as if it couldn't understand the concept of death and resurrection, but it was soon covered by excitement, and it flapped its wings to welcome him warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Eagle-Headed Demon attribute bonus, this time Lu Xing was beaten so hard he vomited the food he had eaten while traveling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xing was beaten black and blue, and the way he rolled on the ground made the livestream players wince, mourning for him in their hearts, but they still gave emotional encouragement in the livestream:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Explorer brother's combat skills have clearly improved this time, don't be afraid of failure, you will definitely win next time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Explorer brother's slash almost hit the Strange Butterfly, I can only say the Strange Butterfly was too lucky, what a pity, what a pity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Explorer, failure will only make you stronger, believe in yourself, you will definitely win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the encouragement of the onlookers in the livestream, Lu Xing was finally grabbed by the Strange Butterfly and flown into the high sky, followed by a free fall, ending this round of the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After successive defeats, Lu Xing completely shut himself off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that it was impossible for him to defeat the Strange Butterfly unless he had a large amount of sacrificial power to improve his strength, raise his body-tempering level and star-pulse level, and then fight the Strange Butterfly with the attribute bonuses of multiple monster forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resurrecting, Lu Xing ignored the persuasion of the livestream players and was unwilling to go to Wind Wave Pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tips were indeed very sweet, but the double torture of body and mind was unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have much desire for money to begin with, and he had no worries about food, clothing, housing, or transportation in real life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was not giving up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grievance in his heart had not yet been released; he just wanted to improve the Eagle-Headed Demon level first before challenging the Strange Butterfly, rather than going to get beaten knowing he would lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the level increase might lead to the Strange Butterfly being unwilling to fight him, the Strange Butterfly's act of fleeing was equivalent to surrender in Lu Xing's eyes, and he had won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning the chat channel, he began to look for a team to grind monsters and level up, starting his path of self-strengthening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After 48 hours of non-stop monster grinding and leveling, Lu Xing raised the Eagle-Headed Demon's level to 11.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to level 7, the Eagle-Headed Demon form's wings were full, a glowing fiery red feather grew on its forehead, and even the aura on its body had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The significant increase in attributes gave Lu Xing the courage to fight the Strange Butterfly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the livestream that had been sealed for two days, he changed the title to \"Fighting the Stupid Bird Again\" and then set off toward Wind Wave Pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xing, who restarted the livestream, quickly attracted a large number of players to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many players couldn't help but sigh, saying that this challenge would likely not be able to start, as the cowardly butterfly would definitely run away upon seeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long time later, Lu Xing arrived at the destination of this trip, Wind Wave Pool, amidst the onlookers in the livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the bushes on the opposite bank, the familiar deep green eyes were staring straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding that the Strange Butterfly was still there, a smile appeared on Lu Xing's face, and he waved provocatively at the Strange Butterfly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body twisted and changed, switching to the Eagle-Headed Demon form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the provocation, the Strange Butterfly leaped out of the bushes, but did not spread its wings to flee, instead looking at Lu Xing and raising its head proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the smile on Lu Xing's face came to an abrupt end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that the Strange Butterfly's appearance had changed, and the gorgeous wings covering its body had become even more vivid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the analysis, he found the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Strange Butterfly (4th Generation Origin)]:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting Level: 13\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guide Analysis: A 4th Generation Origin monster that controls the power of Wind.

I guess the Strange Butterfly's way of improving its strength is related to its personality, which is bullying the weak and fearing the strong. It gained the blessing of the Monster World's rule power by bullying you, and its strength has been improved.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As for why it is level 13, I don't know. Theoretically, the growth potential of a 4th Generation Origin monster is far higher than that of a 1st Generation Origin monster, so it is very reasonable for its strength to improve quickly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should I do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fight like a warrior, or be a coward and curl up to get beaten, waiting for the Strange Butterfly to have its fun and deliver a fatal blow, and then I'll carry your corpse back to the nest.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Strange Butterfly flapping its wings and diving toward him, Lu Xing even saw the arrogant flames in its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene also left the onlookers in the livestream dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barrage sent by a player was even quickly liked and pinned to the top:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the livestream title, I thought you kid had found a way to win for sure, but I didn't expect to see you getting beaten again.
