The second night
It was the second night in the Sky Herald Forest.
Most of the other young dragon warrior geniuses of the Jiang Clan who had just reached the Dragon Ascension stage found a quiet place to rest. Only Jiang Shenwu and Jiang Yuening, after devouring the Earth Demon's Monster Core with their Devouring Power and replenishing their own strength, continued to hunt demon beasts in the dense forest during the night.
On the first night, they had killed many demon beasts. On the second night, their harvest would be even greater than before.
Because they were facing the same type of demon beast, Kang Shin-mu could constantly devour to maintain his resistance against the power of extreme cold and the cold poison. As they killed more and more Bone-piercing Winter Spiders, his resistance became stronger and stronger.
After half a night, they had killed no less than ten Bone-piercing Winter Spiders. Even the sixth layer Bone-piercing Winter Spiders were killed by Kang Shin-mu. He had completely relied on his close combat skills. The Bone-piercing Winter Spiders looked down on Kang Shin-mu, so once they were caught by the dragon claws, they had no chance to escape.
This kind of hunting efficiency was absolutely comparable to the speed of the Heavenly Dragon's successor, Jiang Liuxue!
After half a night, the giant Bone-piercing Winter Spider was finally about to be killed. The main battle was nearing its end, and the smaller Bone-piercing Winter Spiders had given up on participating in the battle. Instead, they scattered in all directions.
This gave Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening a better hunting opportunity, but the number of Bone-piercing Winter Spiders they could kill had decreased.
Of course, this didn't matter much. As long as the two heard any movement in the surroundings, they would immediately head in that direction. Apart from the Bone-piercing Winter Spiders, there was nothing else in the vicinity that would move around at night.
It was worth mentioning that now that Kang Shin-mu had devoured the flesh, blood, and life essence of ten Bone-piercing Winter Spiders, his body was flowing with an endless power of extreme cold. This power of extreme cold, to the other Bone-piercing Winter Spiders, had an extremely intimate aura. So before they saw Kang Shin-mu, they would be suspicious to see if it was a companion.
When Kang Shin-mu appeared, he would be able to launch a sneak attack on him, directly control him, and then start devouring him with his Devouring Power.
Moreover, the current Kang Shin-mu could somewhat sense the whereabouts of the Bone-piercing Winter Spiders by relying on his familiarity with the power of extreme cold. Even if the Bone-piercing Winter Spiders had passed by an hour ago, they would leave behind a corresponding aura, allowing the current Kang Shin-mu to sense them.
Although the devouring power wasn't that strong in a head-on battle and didn't have the terrifying explosive and destructive power of lightning and flames, it still had its own unique function. This was what puzzled Kang Shin-mu.
How could something as powerful as the Devouring Power only exist in the Mortal Dragon's inherited blood essence?
Could that Black Dragon be some sort of incredible existence?
Rumor had it that the Divine Dragon clan controlled the entire world. There were all sorts of Divine Dragons in the legends, but he had never heard of a Divine Dragon with the Devouring Power. This made Kang Shin-mu feel somewhat uneasy.
However, no matter what, what he wanted to do now was to improve himself. Even if he had to rely on the Devouring Power, he needed to find traces of his father, Jiang Zizai, and to let his mother live a better life. He needed to become stronger.
And the Devouring Power was the most efficient way for him to do so!
With the Devouring Power, he and Jiang Yuening could hunt demon beasts at night without needing to rest. Although they needed to consume the power of two Earth Demon's Monster Cores, what they obtained was far more than what they used.
After midnight, the giant Bone-piercing Winter Spider was finally killed. The Heaven Demon's Monster Core must have been taken by the Jiang Clan's experts.
Then, the Jiang Clan sent out many experts to sweep the nearby area. Once they saw any small Bone-piercing Winter Spiders, they would immediately kill them. This was to prevent the Bone-piercing Winter Spiders from chasing the Jiang Clan's dragon warriors who were in the midst of their Demon Slaying training.
In everyone's eyes, the sixth layer Earth Demon level Bone-piercing Winter Spiders, other than the Heavenly Dragon's successor Jiang Liuxue, no one else could escape from them. Because of this, the sixth layer Bone-piercing Winter Spiders had to be eliminated.
While searching for Bone-piercing Winter Spiders in the dense forest, many Jiang Clan experts saw corpses of Bone-piercing Winter Spiders that had lost their Earth Demon's Monster Cores. This made them puzzled. Who killed these Bone-piercing Winter Spiders?
Among the corpses, there were fifth and sixth layer Earth Demon level Bone-piercing Winter Spiders. What could possibly be nearby that could kill them?
Could it be that Jiang Liuxue was hunting Bone-piercing Winter Spiders nearby?
"Thinking about it, besides Jiang Liuxue, there can't be anyone else. Jiang Liuxue killed so many Bone-piercing Winter Spiders. In this Demon Slaying training, the Northern Prefecture will definitely take first place."
Everyone speculated, but no one could have imagined that the person hunting Bone-piercing Winter Spiders nearby was Kang Shin-mu!
Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening had also sensed that there were Jiang Clan experts searching in the dense forest. Once they found traces of the Jiang Clan experts, they would immediately avoid them. They were only searching for Bone-piercing Winter Spiders to kill, and did not want to be discovered by the Jiang Clan experts.
Later on, the tracks of the Bone-piercing Winter Spiders became fewer and fewer. Even the small Bone-piercing Winter Spiders had been completely searched.
At the same time, other than Jiang Shenwu and Jiang Yuening, the Jiang Clan's cleanup experts were also searching for and killing the Bone-piercing Winter Spiders. They had to carry out a cleanup operation in the area and eliminate all the Bone-piercing Winter Spiders before dawn.
The opening of the giant Bone-piercing Winter Spiders' nest could be said to be an accident in the Demon Slaying training. But for Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening, it was an excellent opportunity.
On the second night, the two joined forces and killed a total of twenty-five Bone-piercing Winter Spiders. The majority of the Earth Demon Cores they obtained were fifth and sixth layer Earth Demon Cores. In other words, they had obtained more than a hundred Demon Slaying training points!
This result made Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening feel incredulous.
In the previous Demon Slaying training, if they could obtain two hundred Demon Slaying training points in three days, they would be able to take first place in the Five Prefectures. But now, Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening had obtained more than two hundred points in two days and two nights, and were even approaching three hundred points!
