Chapter 36

Boom!

Within a 30-yard radius, rocks and soil went up into the air before powerful energy gathered the materials toward Ling Jiu .

His legs and belly .

His hands and chest .

At last, it was his head .

Ling Jiu turned into a ten-meter-tall giant made of rocks in the blink of an eye .

Boom!

The rock giant stepped out, running toward the Rampage Black Bear not far away . The ground shook violently as he ran as if the earth were wailing .

Roar!

The Rampage Black Bear was alarmed . It stood on two and pounded its chest with loud thuds while roaring angrily at the rock giant .

“Come one! Let’s square it off!”

Ling Jiu raised his palm and smashed at the Rampage Black Bear . At ten-meter tall, the Rock Giant was double in height and crushingly more imposing compared to the five-meter Rampage Black Bear .

The Rampage Black Bear dodged the attack, then smashed its paw at the Rock Giant’s right leg . The Rampage Black Bear was much quicker than the clumsy Rock Giant .

Boom!

Rocks and dust flew into the air as the Rock Giant staggered in its feet .

Before the Rampage Black Bear could feel pleased with its achievement, the Rock Giant had come down with another blow .

The Rampage Black Bear quickly dodged, but not entirely as the Rock Giant’s hand smashed its hips .

The hips of the Rampage Black Bear crumpled at once at the sound of the cracking of bones .

Roar!

The Rampage Black Bear let out a howl of agony as blood and feces oozed out of its lower body . The Rock Giant had crushed its vertebrae, femur, and innominate bone .

“One more time!”

The Rock Giant raised its hand and struck down .

The Rampage Black Bear disappeared under the palm, all its bones were crushed, blood and minced meat flowing out of orifices . It could not have been more dead than this .

1

Rocks were dropping, and soil was flying .

Ling Jiu returned to his human form . Seeing the Rampage Black Bear that had been smashed into a pile of meat, he poked out his tongue with astonishment .

The Rock Giant was so powerful?

This was a Class 3 Direbeast here .

It was crushed to its death just like that?

Ling Jiu suddenly saw the Ultimate Arcana manual under a different light . At 20 times the strength of the ordinary arcana, this ability was no joke .

“So I can challenge the Class 4 Direbeasts now? Should give it a try if the opportunity arises!”

Ling Jiu kept the corpse of the Rampage Black Bear, then followed the direction shown by the Direbeast radar toward the lair of the third Class 3 Direbeast .

Ten minutes later, he came to a village .

The village was in ruin, with vegetation almost completely reclaiming the streets and buildings . A vast piece of the cornfield was to the east of the village .

The corn here had obviously evolved . Growing at seven to eight meters in height, the corn formed a vast area of corn forest .

The kernels of the corns on each leafy stalk were big and juicy . Ling Jiu looked on in amazement . “This purely wild evolved corn will probably sell a high price!”

All vegetables and grains of this world came from the organic farm .

It had high production capacity, and the produce looked fresher and better, but they tasted nothing like the crop growing in the ground in his past life .

Ling Jiu opened the micro PC and started to identify these evolved corns .

Super Corn: after undergoing an evolution, this plant from the poaceae has a straight stalk and no branches . It grows as tall as 6 to 10 meters . The internodes at the base have aerial roots . Its leaves have veins and are flat, wide, and linear-lanceolate…

Super corn is a highly valuable food, containing a high level of nutrients, which are 5-10 times that of rice and wheat, and rich riboflavin . It is beneficial to the human body . Price: 100 dollars per 500 grams .

“So expensive!”

Ling Jiu exclaimed quietly . Before his time travel, the corn price was one dollar per 500 grams . This super sweet corn was 100 times more expensive .

Unbelievable .

“It must taste very good judging by its price!”

Ling Jiu searched around . He chose the more good-looking corns, as he intended to bring it back for his dad and younger sister .

He had no intention of harvesting all the corn . As expensive as this crop was, it did not worth more than the Class 3 Direbeast at the same weight . Since there was limited space in the Dimensional Bag, he could not take whatever he saw .

2

“The third Class 3 Direbeast is right in the cornfield’s east, not far away from here!”

Ling Jiu followed the direction and moved ahead .

As he was getting close, the breath of Direbeasts was too hard to ignore . Just then, a sinkhole suddenly formed under his feet .

With nothing supporting his weight, Ling Jiu plunged at once . In that split second, he performed a Shadowform Arcana .

The next second, he turned into a shadow . When he finally landed slowly on the ground, he found himself inside a deep hole .

The hole was full of sharp and thin spikes . If not for his Shadowform Arcana, he would have ended up dead like a porcupine .

“Damn it! Who dug this trap?”

Just when Ling Jiu was fit to be tied, he heard noises outside the pit and two people appeared .

One was a stubble-faced, middle-aged man, carrying a long saber on his back . The other had a pointy mouth, ape-like chin, a skinny, shifty-eyed, middle-aged man .

“Finally, something has walked into it after so long! Damn it, I almost ran out of patience!”

The two were excited . When they came to the pit and looked down, they found nothing . the stubbled man was stunned . “Why is the prey?”

1

The skinny man guffawed . “Fret not! How could there be no prey when the trap has been triggered? It must be hiding somewhere!”

“Hiding?”

The stubbled man breathed a sigh of relief . “Where is the prey, Bro Liu?”

The skinny man did not answer but just looked down at the bottom of the pit with a smirk . “Don’t pretend in front of me, kid . I know you are down there!”

There was no answer from the pit .

“Still pretend, eh?”

The skinny man smirked again . “Since you are not coming out, then forever don’t come out! Brother Wang, fill the pit back!”

“You got it!”

The stubbled man had no hesitation as earth from both sides of the put rose and was about to pour into and bury the pit .

“Hold on a second!”

Ling Jiu called out, coming out of his state of Shadowform as he appeared at the bottom of the pit .

“There really is someone down there!”

The stubbled middle-aged man’s eyes brightened up .

“At least you are smart enough!”

The skinny, middle-aged man sneered . “If you don’t want to die, throw your Dimensional Bag up here, kid! We will rescue you out of here! Otherwise, you have got to stay at the bottom of the pit forever!”

“Who are you guys? Why ambushed me?” Ling Jiu shouted .

“We kill the Direbeasts . And we will not show mercy to a lost Arcanist like you!”

The skinny, middle-aged man looked at Ling Jiu as if he was an idiot . “As you know, killing an Arcanist is so much more rewarding than hunting the Direbeasts!”

“Cut the cackle! Hand over your Dimensional Bag!” the stubbled man shouted .

“I see!”

Ling Jiu had figured it out .

When he browsed the forum earlier, there were many posts warning of the danger in the wilderness, that one had to watch out for human Arcanists more than the Direbeasts .

Humans were much smarter, greedier, and more cunning and dangerous than the Direbeasts .

Why did hunters in the wilderness have such a high fatality rate? Some of them were killed by the Direbeasts, and some of them were killed by their own kind .

Obviously, these two people were those Arcanists who engaged in the monkey business here .

“As Level 3 Arcanists, why do you two have to resort to such a dirty tactic? If so, I will not have any more hesitation . ”

“Dragon Almighty! Kill!”
