C3 (1/2)

”Pfft. Pfft. Pfft.” Ling Xiao wiped away the sweat that was rolling down his face and crawled alone in the huge stone forest.

After some discussion, Gayaro and Ling Xiao had placed their hopes of fusing the Inner Bead onto the Savage Beast. Thus, before the sky brightened, Ling Xiao, under Gayaro's urging, left the Kata City and went to the wilderness outside the city.

The Kata City meant ”city of Desolate Stone”. The rocks on the outskirts were towering, like countless majestic monuments. Walking within them, was like an ant crawling between the tall and wide trees, couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority.

But Ling Xiao didn't have the leisure and elegance to appreciate this unique scenery. Right now, he only felt thirsty.

Water was a scarce resource in the entire Kata City, and was extremely difficult to obtain.

Until now, Ling Xiao hadn't touched a single drop of water on the body of the original owner. Under the strong light for a long time, the water in his body evaporated at an extraordinary speed, so if he didn't replenish the water, he might turn into a piece of dried meat in the stone forest before he started cultivating.

Perhaps he heard Ling Xiao's desire, Gayaro, who was lying on his shoulder, suddenly said: ”Go to the left side. There is water there.”

Water?

Ling Xiao was extremely thirsty, so when he heard this word, he immediately walked towards the direction Gayaro had indicated.

Not too far away, a rock the height of a man appeared in front of him. He carefully observed and finally found a puddle of water in the narrow crevice. Even under such scorching weather, it was not evaporated.

Surprised, Ling Xiao climbed up the rock with all his might. The moment he was about to get his hands on the stone, he felt an inexplicable sense of danger.

Ling Xiao's reaction wasn't slow. He immediately crouched down and dodged the attack from behind.

”Pah!” A deep crack immediately appeared on the stone that replaced Ling Xiao. If he was hit, Ling Xiao's little life would probably be lost.

It was a large worm with a grayish-black appearance that attacked him.

The original owner had never left the Kata City before, and had only heard people say that terrifying monsters were everywhere outside the city, treating passersby as food, and some plants as food. It was simply hell on earth. Ling Xiao, who inherited the original owner's memories, didn't know what this was and naturally didn't know what its weaknesses were.

Seeing that the attack failed, the big bug immediately followed, unwilling to kill Ling Xiao. Fortunately, the big bug was obviously not a powerful character, so Ling Xiao didn't let it get close to him other than taking a few blows in the beginning.

But there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was just an ordinary person without any inner strength. When his attack landed on the big bug that was wrapped in thick armor, it was like scratching its head, and it was useless.

As time passed, the bugs were no longer tired, but Ling Xiao was almost unable to hold on.

He had to end this quickly!

The bug's grayish-white tentacles brushed past Ling Xiao's hair. Taking advantage of this, Ling Xiao didn't retreat but advanced instead. Borrowing the height of the rock, he jumped onto the bug's tentacle and grabbed onto it tightly!

Surprisingly, Ling Xiao's actions made the big bug unable to react in time. He used the most agile move he had ever done since his rebirth and quickly crawled to the edge of the big bug's eye.

Right here!

Ling Xiao waved the stone saber in his hand. As a homeless person, Ling Xiao intentionally found a rock to polish the tip of the rock when he left Kata City, just in case he needed it.
