Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 15 Greedy Fruit from the Tree (Please continue reading)
Outside Hongning Base City, in the vast wilderness, Luo Feng, dressed in black and standing on a shield, flew through the air...

"The aura of a lord-level monster."

Luo Feng noticed the signal on his watch; there was a lone lord-level monster to the northwest!

There were no signals from any monsters of the Beast General level around it, which clearly indicated that this was the monster's lair, and other monsters dared not easily step into its territory... According to the information, it should be a mid-level lord, corresponding to a mid-level war god.

“A mid-level lord.” Chen Qi pondered. He felt that Luo Feng should be able to defeat the opponent, so he said, “Get closer and see what kind of monster it is. If it can’t fly, then you’ve basically won. With your current strength, you can almost crush a mid-level lord.”

"If you can fly, you'd better be careful."

"Understood!" Luo Feng said decisively, stepping on his shield and flying away at top speed...

A moment later, a flash of lightning appeared on the distant grassland. Luo Feng focused his gaze and saw that it was a 'black feline'. After thinking for a moment, he realized that the phantom he had just seen must have been the 'Demon-Spotted Leopard'.

"Shouldn't the Demon-Spotted Leopard be yellow with black spots? How come there's a pure black one, and it can even reach the intermediate lord level? Could it be a mutation?" This was the only guess Luo Feng had.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Feng slowly descended to a lower altitude, pretending not to have seen the Demon Spotted Leopard.
With a soft thud, Luo Feng's eyes flickered, and the shield beneath his feet flashed more than ten meters forward in an instant, propelled by his mental power.

A black phantom appeared like lightning, lunging towards the spot where Luo Feng had been standing. The black panther opened its blood-red maw, its jaws snapping at the very spot where Luo Feng's throat had been. It seemed the black panther was just a hair's breadth away from succeeding.

The black panther leaped over a hundred meters.

"?" Black Panther wondered.

High in the sky, the black panther's figure was fully revealed. It was about ten meters long and more than three meters tall at the shoulder. Its whole body was black, even the tongue inside its blood-red mouth was pure black. Only its belly had a few tiny yellow spots, three or four centimeters in diameter.

This human reacts so quickly?

As a lord-level monster, this mutated demonic leopard has developed a high level of intelligence. Now, the demonic leopard is hovering a hundred meters in the air, with all four limbs detached from the ground, and is falling downwards.

At this moment, he had lost control of his body.

"A beast is a beast; it leaves no room for maneuver in order to kill with one blow." Luo Feng had anticipated all of this. With a wave of his hand, several throwing knives flew out from Luo Feng's body. His mental power, carrying terrifying force, shot towards the spot where the demonic leopard had fallen.

The throwing knife pierced the air with a sharp sound.

A beginner-level War God-level mentalist!
Luo Feng's explosive power in controlling objects with his flying knives has reached 10 kilograms, and his mental energy amplitude is also a full 9. Moreover, under the 'Nuwa Diagram Visualization Secret Technique' that Chen Qi exchanged for, he has learned how to combine multiple mental energies into one.

The throwing knife right in the very center is a combination of nine forces, each with a maximum burst of 100,000 kilograms, totaling a full 900,000 kilograms!

This level of destructive power is roughly equivalent to a high-level war god exerting three times the force.

Of course, a high-level war god would not generally have only a basic strength of 30 kilograms, but this combat power is definitely at the peak level among mid-level war gods.

"Roar!"

High in the sky, the black panther, being a demon-spotted panther, had neither the wings of a bird nor the 'King-level monster' status. Once it left the ground, it was unable to move its body much.

Facing that terrifying attack, it sensed the deadly danger and realized it had fallen into a trap. With a roar, it thrashed about desperately, but to little avail.

Under Luo Feng's control, the throwing knife was extremely fast and could be moved with his mind.

"Puff~"

Like a knife piercing tofu, without any loud noise, the throwing knife pierced straight through the mutated demonic leopard's 'neck'.

"Roar!"

The spotted leopard wasn't completely dead yet, but blood was still gushing out like a jet from the fatal wound on its neck.

"Luo Feng, kill it quickly! All that blood is energy, it's food for the 'Gluttonous Tree'!" Chen Qi, watching the Demon-Spotted Leopard continuously gushing blood in the system space, gestured frantically as he gave the order.

Luo Feng agreed, and the throwing knife swiftly pierced through the body of the demonic leopard, quickly ending the life of this mid-level lord-level mutated demonic leopard.

"receive!"

With a thought, Chen Qi stored the Demon-Spotted Leopard in his system space. Inside the system space, Chen Qi's soul floated before a patch of soil with a tiny green seedling growing on it, and beside him lay the still-warm corpse of the 'Demon-Spotted Leopard'.

With a flick of his wrist, a dagger flew out from Chen Qi's body. After many days of cultivating the 'Nuwa Diagram Visualization Secret Technique,' he had become a mentalist. Under his control, the dagger flew swiftly toward the demonic leopard, slicing through its corpse with terrifying force.

"Crunch, crunch~"

However, the leopard's carcass was completely unharmed.

"..." Chen Qi was speechless and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Damn, after cultivating for so many days, I still can't handle the corpses."

His strength was insufficient even to dissect the carcass of the Demon Leopard.

"Chen Qi, how is the 'Greedy Tree' growing?" Luo Feng couldn't see what was happening in the system space, so he asked from the outside.

Chen Qi's face was full of black lines.
How to say?
Could it be that after cultivating for many days, you still couldn't even break the skin of a demon-spotted leopard?

In terms of strength, he should now be considered a mid-level warrior-level mentalist, but the fur of this demonic leopard is too tough.

"Move!" Chen Qi used the system space to drag the entire Demon Leopard to the side of the Gluttonous Tree, and pulled one paw to place it in front of the tiny green sprout that was only 'three or four centimeters' long.

As if sensing something, the 'Gluttonous Tree' explored around with its two small leaves and touched the corpse of the Demon Spotted Leopard. The serrated lines on the two leaves quickly cut open a few strands of the Demon Spotted Leopard's fur.

"Hiss~" The Gluttonous Tree took a breath.

A few hairs were sucked into its mouth, and within seconds, the gluttonous tree visibly grew a small section. Then, its leaves became even more agile, quickly cutting and swallowing the hairs...

Step by step.

To Chen Qi's astonishment, the Gluttonous Tree devoured the Demon-Spotted Leopard's claws step by step. Chen Qi quickly manipulated the Demon-Spotted Leopard's corpse to continue approaching the Gluttonous Tree.

The little guy seemed never to be full and kept eating.

As its name suggests:

'Greedy'.

But while it was greedy, it also grew very fast, reaching several meters in height.

Outside, Luo Feng continued to kill monsters, but there were no more Lord-level monsters. Lord-level monsters were relatively rare, but there were a large number of Beast General-level and Beast Soldier-level monsters.

Enough pipe!

More than half an hour later.

Little by little, after the 'Gluttonous Tree' grew into a towering tree six or seven meters tall, the Demon Leopard's corpse was almost completely gone.

On the trunk of the 'Greedy Tree', a huge mouth is constantly devouring.

It is a plant life, and like the 'Moyun Vine', it also has its own wisdom. Knowing that Chen Qi is its master, it has no ill will towards Chen Qi.

Judging from the condition of the Gluttonous Tree, Chen Qi guessed that the Gluttonous Tree was now an adult and could start bearing fruit.

Then let it continue to devour the remaining Beast Soldier and Beast General level beasts.

The 'Greedy Tree' finally sprouted a mini green 'fruit', which gradually grew rapidly, turning bright red and vibrant.

"Whoa whoa whoa~"

The Gluttonous Tree swayed its canopy, and small fruits fell, as if controlled by mental power, flying to Chen Qi's front.

It seems to be saying:
'This is for you!'
