I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 70: Seizing the Sky
The fourth aircraft carrier, in a small conference room.

"...The serrated giant salamander is four to six meters long and its weight is estimated to be between 2,500 and 4,000 kilograms. It is possible that there are even larger individuals."

The pale, wrinkled skin covering its body has a keratinized, scaly layer that can be up to five centimeters thick. It is extremely tough and can withstand bullets from ordinary handguns up to 9mm in diameter.

As for the irregular bone spurs scattered around the head, their Mohs hardness exceeds 9, and they can easily pierce armor steel of more than 10mm.

The sickle-shaped bony claws at the ends of the four legs can generate local shear forces exceeding 1.2 GPa, capable of tearing metal structures instantly.

……

The group behavior of the serrated newt exhibits typical egoistic characteristics, with a loose social structure and a lack of cooperative instinct.

When faced with resource competition, individuals of the same species will prioritize competition over cooperation—just like the three individuals Qi Xuan encountered, who completely disregarded the safety of their companions and all rushed towards the Silver Grass resource point.

This behavioral pattern stems from its survival strategy: to establish individual advantage by rapidly consuming resources, rather than to perpetuate the population through group cooperation.

……

Given the biological characteristics of the serrated giant salamander, modern weapons must employ a combination of precision strikes and tactical coordination to eliminate it. Based on its defensive weaknesses and operational patterns, the following minimal combat configuration is recommended…

Young military officer Li explained in detail in front of the projection screen.

Liu Wang and the others at the conference table all wore solemn expressions.

Compared to the round-striped leech that was killed not long ago, these serrated tyrannosaurus salamanders are far stronger, and they are not just one or two, but an entire group, so it is possible that there are even stronger individuals among them.

Considering that the serrated tyrannosaurus salamanders have been stealing silver grass, it is clear that they must have consumed this precious medicine before, which greatly enhanced their physical qualities.

"Has the data for Silver Grass come out yet?"

Liu Wang asked.

Xiao Li shook his head and said:
"Currently, there are very few individuals who have taken Silver Gang Grass, only Qi Xuan. Moreover, his physical condition is already far superior to that of ordinary people, so it is difficult for us to determine the specific effects of Silver Gang Grass."

However, according to the information provided by Qi Xuan himself, long-term consumption of large amounts of Silver Gang Grass can completely transform ordinary people into super soldiers who are difficult to kill even with bullets.

Considering the physique of the four-armed gorilla and the snatching behavior of the saw-toothed giant salamander, this conclusion is likely true.

Super soldier.

The thought of this made even the most knowledgeable people present unable to contain themselves.

acid.

It's so sour.

If they could cultivate or harvest the Silver Grass, that would be fine.

The problem is that they can't even get into the floating continent. No matter how good the Silver Gang Grass is, they can only watch as Qi Xuan eats it all up, leaving nothing behind.

"To put it optimistically, at least Qi Xuan is one of our Daqian people, and he's quite patriotic."

Upon hearing Liu Wang's words, the people around immediately began to discuss:
"Indeed, he watched the flag-raising ceremony on National Day."

"I had previously opposed the K visa on the website."

"The screensaver is a high-resolution image of a sixth-generation iPhone."

"Looking at it this way, the result is still good. At least the Silver Spirit Grass didn't fall into the hands of outsiders!"

……

"But Qi Xuan has a rather stubborn personality and is unwilling to suffer losses. This time, the Sawtooth Tyrant Salamander not only destroyed several of his Silver Qi Grasses, but also injured him in the fight. He will definitely retaliate afterward, and what if something unexpected happens..."

One leader expressed his concern.

The field fell silent for a moment.

Then everyone spoke up in succession:

"It shouldn't be that bad. Qi Xuan isn't that impulsive."

"There aren't just one or two serrated giant salamanders, there's an entire colony. How can they be dealt with so easily?"

"Based on Qi Xuan's current strength, he can easily defeat any Sawtooth Tyrannosaurus in a one-on-one fight. However, if the number of them increases to a maximum of four, he will be in danger."

"Everyone says that we Daqian people are vengeful, but even the strongest desire for revenge depends on the circumstances. Everyone should trust Qi Xuan."

"Don't worry, he won't be that reckless."

……

As soon as he finished speaking, the light screens that had been scattered all over the world reappeared in the sky.

In the scene, Qi Xuan is crouching in the bushes, observing a group of sawtooth salamanders in the distant valley. The group of leaders: "..."

At the same time, countless comments flooded the live stream:
"Revenge doesn't wait overnight, haha."

"I thought I wouldn't be able to see it today."

"Damn it! I just made a bet with someone that I'd get revenge tomorrow, why did I do it tonight?"

"If it were me, I would have done it too. I was attacked by them in turn during the day and I was injured quite a bit."

"If we finish the remaining Silver Gorgon Grass tonight and they can still slump comfortably overnight, then wouldn't it have been a waste to eat it all?"

"Damn, there must be at least thirty of them, right? Even if we want to retaliate, it won't be easy to get them."

"Isn't the Sawtooth Tyrannosaurus Rex selfish? Maybe it won't fight back if its companion is attacked."

"That's selfishness that happens when people fight for resources. If a tribe is attacked, they will definitely unite against a common enemy, and there might even be a leader among them."

"What should we do then? We can't just spend the whole night here and come back empty-handed, can we?"

"Wait, is Qi Shen pointing at something? Like grass?"

"Looks like they came prepared."

……

Qi Xuan was indeed well-prepared.

Gazing at the serrated giant salamander in the valley, he silently lit the Weak Wind Grass in his hand.

With the help of the wind, the colorless smoke from the fire quickly drifted into the valley.

The saw-toothed giant salamanders, who were originally eating and licking their wounds, suddenly became drowsy as if they had been drugged, and some even lay down on the spot.

Qi Xuan emerged from the bushes and casually pulled out a reddish-brown stone.

It's not that he doesn't want to use a tactical folding knife.

Rather, the tactical folding knife had already been broken in the previous battle.

The scales and muscles of these serrated giant salamanders are exceptionally tough.

Fortunately, the Vermilion Flame Stone in his hand was even more useful.

This was originally a material used to refine mid-grade magic weapons. When he first drew it, he could barely even lift it. But now, after his physique was greatly strengthened by the Silver Qi Grass, it has become completely different.

This Vermilion Flame Stone instantly became the best melee weapon.

There aren't many tricks to it, just one word—smash!

Qi Xuan carried the Vermilion Flame Stone and smashed it all the way. Some of the serrated giant salamanders tried to resist, but they immediately became docile after their heads were smashed.

The scene was a one-sided massacre.

However, Qi Xuan felt no pity whatsoever. When he was almost torn apart in the afternoon, no sawtooth giant salamander showed him any mercy.

Just as he was about to deal with the last few serrated giant salamanders, his [Spiritual Sense] suddenly alerted him to an extremely strong sense of crisis. Qi Xuan frowned sharply and turned to look at the bushes not far away.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a five-meter-long serrated giant salamander burst out from inside like lightning.

Although it is relatively small in size, the aura it exudes is undoubtedly at the peak of the second tier, almost as strong as the Hundred-Kiss Blood Silkworm lurking at the bottom of the river.

"Earthquake Talisman!"

Qi Xuan slammed his palm hard on the ground.

The next second, the serrated giant salamander that rushed close suddenly sank into the extremely soft and sticky mud.

This Earth Trap Talisman was one of the four spiritual items he won in the afternoon's lottery. It was also a backup plan he had prepared for this surprise attack, and he never expected it would actually come in handy.

However, although the Earth Trap Talisman was effective, it couldn't trap a peak second-tier cultivator for too long, so Qi Xuan immediately decided to make a run for it.

Before leaving, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be hanging on the bony spikes of the serrated giant salamander.

Qi Xuan's mind raced. Taking advantage of its struggle, he suddenly pulled out an iron-core wooden spear and flung the thing away. Upon holding it, he saw that it was a blue jade ring with the words "Seize the Heavens" written inside in otherworldly script.

Upon seeing the inscription on the jade ring, Qi Xuan was instantly shaken.

Before I could think any further, I saw the serrated giant salamander in front of me struggle even more fiercely, its eyes filled with rage and fury, as if its wife had been stolen away.

Without saying a word, Qi Xuan turned and ran.
