In a daze, Yang Tian felt something licking his cheeks. It was sticky and itchy, and there was also the smell of blood in his nose. He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
The Little Blue Dragon jumped into Yang Tian's arms and rubbed its head against Yang Tian's face. It even stuck out its tongue to lick Yang Tian's chin.
The smell of blood that Yang Tian smelled became even stronger.
It turned out that the smell of blood came from the Little Blue Dragon's body. Yang Tian grabbed the Little Blue Dragon's slender body. He wanted to see what this fellow did while he was asleep. There was actually such a strong smell of blood on its body.
The Little Blue Dragon's body was also sticky, but that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that its two claws were actually holding a white object.
A beast core!
Seeing this white, finger-sized object that looked like a bird's egg, Yang Tian's eyes widened.
The Little Blue Dragon handed the beast core to Yang Tian, as if it was asking for credit, and its mouth let out squeaking sounds.
Yang Tian reached out his hand, and the Little Blue Dragon placed the beast core in Yang Tian's palm.
"Where did you get this beast core?"
Yang Tian asked curiously.
"Squeak squeak squeak …"
The Little Blue Dragon let out a series of squeaks, but Yang Tian couldn't understand it. However, seeing that its body was covered in blood, it probably had a fight with an exotic beast. He didn't know how its small body killed a level one exotic beast.
This was a safe place. Yang Tian put down the Little Blue Dragon, wiped the beast core with his sleeve, and directly put it into his mouth, swallowing it with saliva.
Seeing Yang Tian swallow the beast core, the Little Blue Dragon jumped to the side, opened its eyes wide, and silently looked at Yang Tian.
Yang Tian looked at the little fella's eyes and suddenly realized that it was a very intelligent fella. He had scolded it last night and it had actually found him a Rank 1 Beast Core as compensation. That was too much of a monster!
After swallowing the beast core, Yang Tian felt a warm flow in his stomach after ten minutes, and it began to spread throughout his body.
This feeling was similar to the feeling he had when he drank the dragon ball water.
Half an hour later, the warm flow spread throughout Yang Tian's body, making him feel very comfortable, as if he was soaking in hot water.
At this moment, a strong sense of sleepiness hit him, and Yang Tian unknowingly closed his eyes.
When Yang Tian woke up, he felt that his strength had increased by quite a bit.
Yang Tian looked at his watch and realized that it was already three in the afternoon.
The Little Blue Dragon was lying on the bed beside him, curled up, as if it was asleep.
Yang Tian opened the curtains and looked outside. This was the season when the weather was changeable. Yesterday, the sun was still shining brightly, but today, the sky outside was gloomy, as if it was going to rain.
This kind of weather wasn't the time to go out, but if he didn't go out to hunt exotic beasts, he would be hungry. Yang Tian used his finger to scratch the Little Blue Dragon, waking it up.
"Come, let's go out and find something to eat." After waking the Little Blue Dragon up, Yang Tian said with a smile.
The Little Blue Dragon let out a squeak and happily jumped into Yang Tian's arms, and just like before, it hung on Yang Tian's chest.
In this world where exotic beasts ran rampant, if one wanted to become stronger, they had to continuously hunt exotic beasts and obtain beast cores from them. After swallowing them, their bodies would be strengthened.
When one became stronger, their combat skills would improve, and they would be able to obtain more resources.
This was actually a cyclical process.
After leaving the house, Yang Tian quickly walked to the riverside where he fetched water yesterday. Not far downstream, there was a bridge. After crossing the bridge, one would be able to reach the danger zone a few kilometers away.
In the danger zone, an exotic beast could charge out from the bushes, woods, or behind a dilapidated building at any time.
After Yang Tian crossed the bridge, he began to be careful and on guard at all times.
This time, he didn't plan to go too far. His goal was only to find something to eat.
Ever since he strengthened himself, Yang Tian realized that he got hungry easily.
After walking for a while, the Little Blue Dragon suddenly came out of Yang Tian's arms, jumped to the ground, and rushed into the bushes not far away.
Immediately after, a series of sounds came from inside.
"Squeak squeak!"
At this time, the Little Blue Dragon's cry was also heard.
When Yang Tian heard this sound, he thought that the Little Blue Dragon was in danger and immediately ran over.
"Hu ~"
Before Yang Tian even got close to the bushes, a huge green python darted out from the bushes, bringing with it a gust of wind.
This huge python was more than ten meters long and thicker than a human's thigh.
Mutated Green Python!
The name of this python suddenly appeared in Yang Tian's mind.
Yang Tian memorized all the information about exotic beasts. This was a compulsory course in high school.
Because he knew the information about exotic beasts, he could accurately estimate their strength when encountering them.
This was a Level 1 Green Python.
The main way to distinguish exotic beasts was to feel the aura they emitted. The stronger the exotic beast, the stronger the aura.
It was very difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the level of exotic beasts from their aura, but Enhancers who had consumed beast cores could easily do so, as if it was an innate ability.
When Yang Tian saw this huge python, he had a conclusion in his mind.
This huge python that darted out from the bushes seemed to be in great pain, because the Little Blue Dragon was lying on top of its triangular head, scratching its head with its claws.
The Little Blue Dragon's claws were very fast, and only an afterimage could be seen. In a few breaths' time, it had clawed through the huge python's skull and killed it.
"Zhizhi!"
After killing the huge python, the Little Blue Dragon cried out happily and took out a white beast core from the huge python's head.
This time, Yang Tian finally knew how the Little Blue Dragon defeated a Level 1 exotic beast.
Its claws were simply unbreakable. One must know that the bones of a Level 1 exotic beast were as hard as granite.
The Little Blue Dragon held the beast core and jumped onto Yang Tian's body, handing it to Yang Tian as if it was presenting a treasure.
When Yang Tian received the beast core, he felt that his luck was simply too good!
In less than a day, he had actually obtained three Level 1 beast cores.
The first beast core was due to luck, the second and now the third were all thanks to the Little Blue Dragon.
After the Little Blue Dragon handed the beast cores to Yang Tian, it jumped onto the python's corpse and cried out a few times.
Yang Tian smiled, understanding the Little Blue Dragon's meaning. This little one was also hungry.
In this kind of weather, meat would stink if left out for too long. Yang Tian kept the beast core and used a dagger to skin the python. He only cut out about twenty kilograms of python meat and put it in a plastic bag that he carried with him. He carried it back to Desolate Hill City.
The taste of python meat was not bad!
Because there was plenty of time, after returning to the five-story building, Yang Tian cut the python meat into small pieces, mixed it with seasoning, pierced it with a metal skewer, and roasted it over the fire.
After roasting a skewer, the Little Blue Dragon ate it.
Yang Tian had no complaints now, because the Little Blue Dragon had found a Level 1 beast core for him. If he sold it at the black market in the restricted area, he could get hundreds of thousands of Martial Coins.
After eating more than ten kilograms of roasted python meat, the Little Blue Dragon was finally satisfied.
Until now, Yang Tian still did not understand how this little guy's stomach could contain so much meat. Could it be that there was a mysterious space in its stomach?
Just like yesterday, after Yang Tian was full, he checked the doors and windows, went to the bathroom to relieve himself, took a cold shower, and changed into the new clothes he found in the kitchen.
