I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 59: Seeking Bait to Hunt the Fox (Fourth Update)

Zhang Chen's skills had leveled up, and his heart was now filled with passion and energy as he dug into the soil.

"It's truly strange. The dragon energy draws water vapor from a region, yet it can't do anything to this frozen soil. Truly strange!" Zhang Chen transported all the softened soil he had baked last night and looked at the ice that showed no sign of moisture loss, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Could it be that ice is no longer considered water?" Zhang Chen stroked the biting coldness before him, a thought flashing through his mind. At least, his Water Control skill had no effect on the ice.

Now, seeing that the dragon energy also couldn't affect the ice, Zhang Chen relaxed somewhat, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "It seems it's not that my skill is lacking, but that this ice truly no longer belongs to the category of water."

Zhang Chen dug out the soil, then went outside to gather firewood, brought it into the cave, and lit a fire to bake the frost-covered soil.

Zhang Chen walked out of the cave, looked at the slowly rising smoke, and couldn't help but shake his head and mutter to himself: "I really want to seal the cave entrance with soil to prevent people from peeking in, but that wouldn't work, because without oxygen, the fire inside the cave would definitely go out. The depths of the cave are already lacking oxygen. If it's sealed for a long time, it will definitely cause the fire to extinguish. It's a pity I don't know how to build a smokeless stove, otherwise there wouldn't be so much trouble. Fortunately, this place is located in the deep mountains and old forests, with many wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards, so I'm not afraid of ordinary people stumbling upon it in a short time."

Zhang Chen cleaned up the traces on the ground, then patrolled along yesterday's trail, arriving at the water source. He felt the underground water vapor, which hadn't decreased at all and was still very abundant, which reassured him a lot.

Zhang Chen extracted some water vapor, forming a water ball the size of a tank, then directly washed away the mud on his body, cleansing himself of all dust. Only then did Zhang Chen leave contentedly, wanting to explore further into the mountains and seek out resources.

Now that he had the three skills of enchantment, he could turn passivity into initiative and actively test the fox spirit, but he lacked bait, and the fox spirit had rarely come to his house recently. He had to find bait.

Yesterday, he happened to see a sika deer, which was the best bait. Perhaps he could find a way to hunt one today.

Fox spirits love sika deer meat the most. If I hunt sika deer meat, the fox spirit will definitely come to my house. Then I can use the golden light to test the fox spirit's methods.

Zhang Chen walked in the mountains, casually breaking off a branch, then injected golden light into it. In his naked eye, it was still a very ordinary branch, but in his Dharma Eye, it was a golden light shining, mighty and flowing, seemingly able to sweep away all evil.

"I wonder if my golden light blessing can change the properties of the branch, like sword energy, making it indestructible." Zhang Chen took the branch and slashed at a large tree next to him, and the next moment the branch broke directly, shattering into two pieces and falling in front of Zhang Chen.

"Okay, I was thinking too much! The golden light remains as golden light, targeting only mysterious power, and has no effect on the real world." Zhang Chen looked at the branch broken into two pieces and saw that the golden light flowing within it still existed and did not disappear.

"The existence of golden light will not disappear due to the destruction of things." Zhang Chen looked at the broken branch, a hint of thought in his eyes, then picked up the branch in his hand and successively broke it into seven or eight sections, only to see that the golden light still remained within, with no characteristics of weakening or dissipating.

Zhang Chen simply took out a hammer and smashed the branch into pieces, but saw that each piece still had golden light attached to it, with no change in characteristics.

"My conclusion is completely correct, but now I don't know if the golden light can be attached to living things. If the golden light can be attached to living things, there will definitely be incredible effects, and then there will be more room for operation." Zhang Chen's eyes flashed with golden light, he glanced at the chisel in his hand, threw away the branch, and then his eyes flowed with golden light, looking around, but he didn't see any 'strange aura' flowing, so he walked in the mountains with peace of mind.

"Even in the mountains, I'm not afraid of danger. As long as my Beast Control skill still exists, no one in the mountains can do anything to me. I am the king of the mountains!" Zhang Chen carried a basket on his back, constantly climbing in the mountains. Since the day of transformation and bloodline modification, although he hadn't increased his strength, he rarely felt tired. As long as he controlled his blood to speed up the circulation in his body and accelerate the supply of nutrition, all fatigue would be swept away, and he felt unprecedentedly smooth, without any sense of fatigue.

"My previous blood-sucking seemed to have no effect, but in fact, it wasn't in vain." Zhang Chen felt the power constantly supplied in his blood and had some guesses in his heart.

Along the way, he crossed seven or eight mountains. This place was already sparsely populated. There were no small roads in the mountains, and there were thorns everywhere. If Zhang Chen didn't think he had a natural talent, he wouldn't dare to come to this deep mountain and old forest.

The calls of unknown birds rang in his ears, and animals were startled from time to time on the ground, disappearing into the dense forest.

Zhang Chen didn't chase after them, because he knew that the dense forest was full of messy branches and weeds, and it was difficult for him to even squeeze through, let alone run and chase.

"The desolate and uninhabited deep mountains and old forests are indeed gloomy and terrifying. If I didn't have the Beast Control skill and could sense all animals within a hundred meters, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to set foot easily." In Zhang Chen's spiritual world, the traces of all animals within a hundred meters naturally appeared. This distance of a hundred meters was enough for him to react in advance and not be bitten by snakes and insects in the mountains.

Moreover, he possessed dragon energy, and the poisonous snakes and insects in the mountains actually didn't dare to invade where he passed, but instead, they exuded a sense of closeness.

"These poisonous snakes are too dense!"

Zhang Chen used his hand to push aside the branch in front of him, but saw that the branch twisted quickly after being startled, climbing towards the bushes. Where was this a branch? It was clearly a well-disguised poisonous snake!

Then he patted his shoulder, and a colorful spider the size of a grain of rice fell on his shoulder without him knowing when. Zhang Chen recognized the spider as a famous poisonous creature in the nearby villages. Once a person was bitten, they would be parasitized by this spider, and countless insect eggs would be born in their blood.

The spider fell without him knowing when, quietly lying on Zhang Chen's shoulder, but it didn't mean to attack Zhang Chen. Instead, Zhang Chen inexplicably felt a sense of closeness from the other party.

"This spider is a bit interesting." Zhang Chen stretched out his hand and gently stroked the spider. The spider obediently crawled onto the pad of his finger, looking at Zhang Chen with its eyes blinking, appearing very kawaii.

The spider was very beautiful, colorful like a colored crystal stone, but its toxicity made people tremble with fear. This was a spider that could kill people.
