God-Like Extraction

Chapter 44: Leap Over Roofs And Walk On Walls!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There was someone nearby!

After his soul power increased, Su Jingxing became more sensitive to other people’s gazes, and attention.

Was it kind or malicious? Was it mockery or praise?

He could feel it without meeting the other person’s eyes.

For example, right now, the person who was secretly watching him did not have any ill intentions.

As such, Su Jingxing didn’t get up immediately. Instead, he maintained his original position with composure.

After waiting for a while, the other party was still peeping. He decided not to tolerate it anymore.

Even if the other party did not have any ill intentions, being stared at like that made him feel uneasy.

Swoosh!

With a flash of his figure, Su Jingxing used the Eight Steps Rising Dragon and flew among the treetops. He stepped on one tree after another and rushed towards the direction of the gaze with lightning speed.

Flap!

All of a sudden, the sound of flapping wings was heard.

In the dark forest, a snow-white bird abruptly flew out, flapping its wings and soaring into the night sky.

“How is that possible…”

Su Jingxing’s pupils constricted as he stopped on top of a large tree. He looked at the snow-white bird that was rapidly flying into the distance as astonishment emerged on his face.

“What was peeking at me wasn’t a human, but a big bird?”

“A giant bird with a humanized gaze?”

After Su Jingxing recovered from his shock, his gaze became strange.

He was shocked not because the bird had a humanized gaze, but because this spiritual bird dared to approach him.

That’s right, a spiritual bird!

Also called a Mutated Beast, a Spiritual Beast! An animal that had gained sentience!

Before the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect descended on Earth Star, Mutated Beasts were extremely rare. They were usually only found in perilous lands and polar regions.

Moreover, every mutated beast had innate divine powers. Some of them were even quite terrifying, no weaker than natural disasters.

However, because they were few in number, they were not too dangerous.

But over eighty years ago, after the arrival of the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect, the Beast Spirit Devil Insect among them turned this situation upside down.

That was because the Beast Spirit Devil Insect could release a special kind of energy that could infect animals and turn them into Mutated Beasts.

Just like the Corpse-raising Devil Insect, it only targeted human corpses and turned them into Corpse Puppets.

The Beast Spirit Devil Insect targeted vertebrates!

There were no spine-less beasts, at least not yet.

Even so, the sudden increase in various kinds of Mutated Beasts caused beast tides on Earth Star

More than a hundred cities were breached by the beast tides, and humans suffered innumerable casualties.

As a result, corpse tides and beast tides were listed as calamities at the level of natural disasters. Everyone’s expression would change at the mention of them.

The reason for this was that even though the Mutated Beasts had developed sentience, most of them were still controlled by their beastly and wild nature. The bloodthirsty desires of the beasts remained and they killed mercilessly.

It was normal for humans to eat beasts.

Of course it was also justified for beasts to eat humans then.

Originally, no matter how ferocious a wild beast was, it would be no match for a human.

However, under the command of the intelligent Mutated Beasts, when a beast tide was activated, even the first-grade experts could only escape.

Of course, not all of the Mutated Beasts wished to kill and eat up the human race.

For a fraction of the Mutated Beasts, their intelligence had suppressed their beastly nature, so they did not have much malice towards humans. As long as humans do not provoke them, these Mutated Beasts would stay far away.

This group of Mutated Beasts were thus known as Spiritual Beasts.

As for those beastly and wild mutated beasts, they were named Savage Beasts.

Savage Beasts would attack humans once they see them. On the contrary, Spiritual Beasts would move away.

However, if someone could gain the approval of a Spiritual Beasts, they would gain a great deal of help. Such Spiritual Beasts were also known as Combat Beasts and Spiritual Pets.

Compared to the Savage Beasts, the Spiritual Beasts were fewer in numbers.

Correspondingly, there were even fewer Spiritual Pets.

The uniqueness of Spiritual Pets made everyone, be it ordinary people or martial artists, want them.

However, there were pitifully few people who actually possessed them.

Even in Qinghe City’s population of more than ten million, the number of people who owned Spiritual Pets could be counted on one hand.

Wei Jiajia had asked for a Spiritual Pet as one of her requests, but Su Jingxing rebutted her.

Want a Spiritual Pet?

Me too!

This not only depended on luck. One also had to have strong charisma.

Earning the approval of a Spiritual Beasts would be wishful thinking without some charisma.

Of course, many had tried to forcefully tame them, but they rarely succeeded.

On the other hand, many Savage Beasts were forcefully suppressed and tamed.

Su Jingxing did not expect to encounter a spiritual bird the first time he entered the Green Cloud Mountain.

This big bird even hid in a dark corner and watched him.

If he was someone who was extremely charismatic, it might even take the initiative to come closer.

“Eh, that doesn’t seem right. If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean that I have zero charm?”

The corner of Su Jingxing’s lips twitched.

He would never admit such a thing.

The spiritual bird had probably peeked at him out of curiosity. Perhaps it was its first time seeing a human.

Then, Su Jingxing discovered it and his behavior was suspected to be an intention to capture it. Naturally, it fled.

The probability of seeing it again is almost zero.

At this thought, Su Jingxing felt a little depressed.

He returned to his earlier position and meditated for a while before recovering his calm.

At the end of the day, the spiritual bird is just an accidental encounter. What is important is to grasp what is available right now.

With this thought in mind, Su Jingxing relaxed and continued to develop his night vision.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Su Jingxing ate an Essence Energy Pill and went to the cliff. He opened his backpack and put on his equipment.

A pair of steel claws.

It was very simple. He would rely on the sharpness of the steel claws to climb the cliff.

Su Jingxing didn’t plan to jump off the cliff and take the water route, pass the subterranean river, and enter the valley like what the post on the Internet said.

He wasn’t really that stupid to believe whatever the informant said.

Part of the reason he came to look for the Muyan Flower was to complete the deal. The second reason was to familiarize himself with Eight Step Rising Dragon.

It was too dangerous to take the water route.

Especially since he had to pass through the subterranean river——no one knew what was inside.

But going by the cliff would be no problem.

Su Jingxing had confidence in himself. Even without true energy, the Eight Steps Rising Dragon lightness skill would allow him to walk along the cliff like a gecko.

Yes, it could be said that his dream had been realized. He could leap over roofs and walk on walls.

The face of a truly steep cliff!

The steel claws were for leverage, just in case.

If Su Jingxing really ran out of energy midway, he would have a backup plan.

True Energy Card!

After unlocking the True Qi Card, he immediately soared into the sky!

Su Jingxing had thought about all the possible consequences before coming here.

The timing was bad last night, but there would be no problem during the day.

Right now, after Su Jingxing put on his equipment, he employed the Eight Step Rising Dragon and ran along the cliff.

The cliff stood upright on the ground, and Su Jingxing was running left and right on it. His body was almost parallel to the ground.

Only when he felt that his strength had decreased would he use his steel claws to grab the protruding points on the cliff and take a short break.

After resting, he continued running.

From the sky, Su Jingxing was even faster than a gecko.

Following the cliff and the river below, he continued deeper into the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

This continued until the river below entered the ground. There was no way to continue following it.

In front of Su Jingxing, a steep cliff thousands of meters tall with an unknown length appeared.

What to do?
