Chapter 157: Destiny Talent, S-Grade Savage Growth!
Li Mu was also stunned by that kiss.
To be honest, he really was not the kind of lecherous old pervert who had never seen a woman before.
But a girl as beautiful as Wang Yinhuan was someone he had never had any contact with back on Earth.
Most importantly...She was Wang Yinhuan!
The blushing girl!
She was someone who would go mad if she got even slightly close to a man.
Yet she had actually taken the initiative!
That alone instantly satisfied a man’s enormous desire to conquer.
After Wang Yinhuan pecked him, she intended to run.
How could Li Mu let her go? He wrapped an arm around Wang Yinhuan’s slender waist and began taking the initiative.
Wang Yinhuan let out a soft cry, but she had no way to resist. She closed her eyes and silently endured Li Mu’s dominance.
The two dogs exchanged glances, both wearing expressions of utter despair.
Stop kissing, stop kissing! We are scared!
Their mistress had been taken by a pig just like that!
Just as Wang Yinhuan was about to suffocate, she used the last of her strength to push Li Mu away.
Then she turned and ran to the side, crouching down.
Li Mu also knew that the effects of the pill had begun to activate.
He thought to himself that this sweet and fragrant moment had happened at the wrong time.
Next time, he absolutely had to grasp the timing properly. He could not choose a situation where he would be interrupted like this.
Wang Yinhuan clutched her head somewhat painfully.
The process of forming the talent made her feel as though her soul itself was swelling.
Li Mu drew a Safe-Haven Method beneath Wang Yinhuan’s feet.
At most, the Safe-Haven Method could restore some True Qi and blood vitality. It had no real effect on this sort of pain.
However, Li Mu was so concerned that he lost his composure, and he did not know how to ease it.
He walked to the edge of the Safe-Haven Method, giving Wang Yinhuan some peace and quiet.
Only after quite a while did Wang Yinhuan let out a long breath.
She seemed much better.
But when she recalled the intimate act between the two of them just now, her face flushed hot again, and she did not dare turn around.
Li Mu also stammered as he changed the topic. He cleared his throat and took the initiative to ask, “Um... now that you have eaten it, what is the effect?”
At this moment, Wang Yinhuan also seemed to finally sense the effects of the talent.
As though she had been greatly shaken by something, she only spoke after a long while without turning her head.
“This... this is too powerful.”
“Are you sure this is an S-Grade talent?”
“My previous talent increased the physical strength and Berserk State of my Summoned Beasts, gave me mental communication ability, and allowed me to form contracts and use a Pet Space.”
“This S-Grade talent actually only has three traits.”
“A stronger spiritual contract and a larger Pet Space.”
“Summoned Beasts can break free of the strength limit of my cultivation level, devouring the corpses of other Demon Beasts or heavenly treasures to break through their own cultivation ability.”
“The second is that Summoned Beasts can undergo species ascension! Each ascension will grant them a unique skill.”
“This does not seem to conflict with my talent. The traits of my original talent can still take effect.”
How could Wang Yinhuan not be shocked?
In the past, she had needed to work hard to improve her own cultivation.
That was because the strength of all her Summoned Beasts came from the strength of her cultivation. She was the upper limit of her Summoned Beasts.
Now, under this S-Grade talent, Summoned Beasts could actually cultivate on their own.
And they did not have to take her as their upper limit.
That meant the cultivation of her Summoned Beasts could far surpass her own.
Moreover, they could even undergo species ascension!
Hearing Wang Yinhuan’s shocked reply, Li Mu licked his lips, put both hands in his pockets, swayed left and right, and rubbed the dirt on the ground with his foot.
“As long as you like it...”
The two dogs narrowed their eyes at Li Mu, wishing they could open their mouths and speak.
Just look at that smug, showy look of yours!
What kind of style is this?
Why are you acting coquettish like some old auntie!?
At that moment, a large snake suddenly emerged from the tree trunk behind Li Mu.
It directly bit toward Li Mu.
This was a silver snake tinged with red. It was three to four meters long, which was not considered large for a Demon Beast.
It was only about as thick as an arm.
One glance was enough to tell that it was highly venomous. Its sharp fangs gleamed coldly.
Judging from the strength of its attack, it was probably also a Third Grade Demon Beast.
One had to know...During Li Mu’s Abyss First Battle trial, that giant python had only been at the peak of Third Grade.
Zhang Zhiwei had nearly died in that giant python’s jaws.
Now, this little snake alone had Third Grade cultivation, so one could imagine just how destructive it was.
Unfortunately for this snake, it smashed headfirst into the Safe-Haven Method.
It was instantly knocked senseless.
Li Mu had sensed it long ago. Without turning his head, he reached back and grabbed the snake’s head in one hand.
He lifted it in front of himself as though it were a toy and discovered that this snake was actually quite beautiful.
Its three-to-four-meter body could be considered to have begun taking shape. Its plump silver body was mixed with a gradient of red.
In particular, the silver lines on its body, when examined carefully, were actually wrapped around its red snake body in ring after ring.
It looked very beautiful without losing its fierceness.
Even calling this snake a “Silver-Ring Snake” would not be excessive!
At this moment, Wang Yinhuan had finally finished being shy and secretly turned back to glance at Li Mu.
When she saw that Li Mu was actually holding a snake and playing with it, she cried out in fright.
At this moment, the snake’s entire body was coiled around Li Mu’s arm, squeezing with all its might. Unfortunately, to it, Li Mu’s body was like steel and iron bones, not budging in the slightest.
Li Mu cleared his throat and handed the snake to Wang Yinhuan.
“Here. This Silver-Ring Snake is quite pretty. I will give it to you.”
Wang Yinhuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Do I not already have Summoned Beasts?”
Li Mu lifted the snake again.
“Those two dogs are also monster hybrids, and their species are too singular. At most, their ascension will turn them into wolves.”
“Getting a snake will help enrich the variety of your Summoned Beasts.”
Wang Yinhuan felt that what Li Mu said did indeed make sense.
After all, with this new talent and species ascension, it would be best if her Summoned Beasts were a little more diverse. Their functionality would also increase.
She carefully examined the snake. It was indeed very beautiful, with alternating silver and red.
The silver rings went around it one after another. It really should be called a Silver-Ring Snake.
It was the same as her own name.
One had to admit that they were indeed fated.
“All right. But for now, I think I can only cultivate these three. I will need to increase my strength further before I can increase the number of Summoned Beasts.”
As Wang Yinhuan spoke, she bit her finger and pressed it against the snake’s head.
The blood instantly seeped into the snake’s head.
Xiaobai and Xiaohua exchanged glances. The two dogs were dumbfounded.
At this moment, the Silver-Ring Snake, whose intelligence had greatly improved after forming a spiritual contract with Wang Yinhuan, was also dumbfounded!
So...
I am part of your play?
Before Li Mu let go, he was still asking, “Is the contract complete? Are you sure it will not attack you? Should I break off all its teeth first?”
The Silver-Ring Snake’s gaze instantly became clear. ???
Wang Yinhuan smiled sweetly.
“There is no need. It is now my Summoned Beast. I am the superior of their spirit and life.”
“This is all thanks to you subduing it with overwhelming strength. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult to form the contract successfully.”
“If its cultivation were higher than mine to begin with, it would also have been very difficult to succeed.”
Li Mu nodded, then took out a Low-Grade Qi-Gathering Pill.
He held it in front of the Silver-Ring Snake. “Eat it. Do not bite my hand! Otherwise, I will break off your teeth!”
He wanted to test whether this snake could eat pills. After all, pills could also be considered heavenly treasures.
Unexpectedly, after the Silver-Ring Snake flicked out its tongue and sniffed it, it actually shook its snake head.
Wang Yinhuan explained, “It seems... it is not interested in heavenly treasures that have been processed. It cannot absorb them.”
After Wang Yinhuan finished speaking, she set the Silver-Ring Snake down.
The Silver-Ring Snake swiftly slithered toward the corpse of the Chainsaw Python.
Seeing this, the two foolish dogs were unwilling to fall behind and quickly charged over.
The three beasts began fighting over the Chainsaw Python’s corpse.
As Wang Yinhuan’s talent mutated, the two foolish dogs now also possessed the ability to devour and evolve.
Moreover, when they devoured monster corpses now, there was no question of whether they were full or not.
It had nothing to do with their stomachs. Instead, the corpses were converted into energy and directly refined and absorbed.
It took the three beasts nearly half an hour to devour the entire giant python.
The Silver-Ring Snake in particular had eaten meat more than ten times larger than its own body.
Yet its stomach did not bulge. Instead, its body grew by about thirty percent.
According to Wang Yinhuan, the Silver-Ring Snake’s cultivation had directly risen to the peak of Third Grade, and the two dogs had also improved significantly.
With a goal in mind, the next step was easy.
The two of them directly explored southward and found a spacious place.
Li Mu no longer concealed his aura, and he also let the two dogs bark wildly everywhere to lure monsters over.
Li Mu killed monsters while gaining Triumph Points and learning about the types of Abyss monsters.
In this region of the forest, there were mostly snakes, apes, and giant insects.
It was far richer than the same kind of area in the Ironhand City Abyss.
Once the monster corpses piled up, the three beasts were like kittens that had fallen into a fishing boat. They began devouring madly, not even knowing where to start.
This made Li Mu release Yaogu as well and let it feast to its heart’s content.
In the early stage, Wang Yinhuan could still strip many useful materials from these monsters to use as samples.
After she finished, she sat on a tree branch with Li Mu and chatted idly. As they chatted, their mouths ended up together again.
There was no helping it.
As the saying went, once one started kissing, then it had truly begun...
