"Ah!"

A leopard roared in the high mountains and dense forests.

In the dense branches that the sun could not penetrate, several shadows flashed in the dimness.

They were four forest shadow leopards, of similar size, all in the middle stage of the first stage, with some bloody pieces of meat and limbs that had just been torn off in their mouths.

From the clothes and fabrics stuck on them, it was obvious that the victims were all the lowest class in the border town.

A small female leopard with a dull fur color stepped out of the damp tree hole where she was hiding, with a pair of light green eyes.

The leopard roar just now was made by it to guide its cubs.

But at this moment, it looked at its cubs, none of which brought its favorite food, and it enjoyed them all by itself, so it could not help but use its claws to grind on the mossy tree roots, easily tearing them into small pieces.

Seeing this, the four leopard cubs couldn't help but shrink their heads and look at their other brothers and sisters, grinning.

They thought that one of them would be eaten, but unexpectedly, none of them were.

"Hehe."

The mother leopard didn't care too much. After sharpening her claws, she wanted to eat, but at this time, she found that there was still a cub who hadn't come back yet.

It immediately became alert, roared in a low voice, and looked around anxiously.

The other leopard cubs realized that something was wrong, and their tails couldn't help but swing around, and they squeezed out their own calls from their throats.

The first-level monster beasts don't have complete spiritual intelligence, but they are smarter than ordinary beasts and are easier to learn and accumulate experience.

The mother leopard, who has lived for hundreds of years, has realized at this time that her last cub should have had an accident, and it is likely that someone killed it during the hunting process.

"Ah~"

It let out a low cry, and hatred flashed in its eyes. Then, it forced its seriously injured body, turned around anxiously, and suddenly jumped out.

It's time to leave.

Although there are many preys within easy reach, there are also many natural enemies. As an experienced leopard, it naturally knows that it is no longer able to survive here.

If it weren't for the newly born cubs who needed to eat a full meal to make up for the rapid growth, and if it weren't for its own serious injuries that needed to be relieved, it would have probably taken the cubs away yesterday.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened just one day later.

The mother leopard shook her head and looked at the cubs. They were still holding the meat, and she didn't know whether to put it down or take it with them.

"Roar!"

The roar became severe, and they let go and followed the mother leopard to the southern forest at a high speed.

Buried in the wasteland.

Because of Du En's perfect alibi, Ren Li, who no longer doubted him, couldn't help frowning at this time.

"This scene doesn't seem to be done by evil cultivators, but it seems to be deliberately imitating Du En's signature action of killing beasts. This... Could it be that it is actually coming for me?!"

In fact, it is not calm on his side. Otherwise, he would not have needed to entrust Du En to find the corpse Yin grass before, and he could go by himself.

At the same time, he needs to seize the time to comprehend and appear to be racing against time.

So, now it is natural to have such doubts!

Thinking of this, Ren Li suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He originally wanted to eat and drink for free, but now he didn't want to. He closed the pot lid, put it back, turned around and left, and wanted to take advantage of yesterday's momentum to achieve his goal in one go.

Watching him leave, Du En didn't feel anything strange, just took back the cooked clay pot and started eating this spiritual meal.

Fragrant! So fragrant!

Whether it was the people who buried the corpses or the corpse transporters who came to deliver normal corpses later, they knew that this occasion was not right, but they couldn't help but envy and covet.

Their envy was actually different. The corpse buryer knew some of the truth, while the corpse transporter thought it was a reward from Ren Li.

Du En didn't care about these. After eating, his meal power began to slowly rise. He chose to sit cross-legged in the shade of a tree outside the wasteland and began to practice.

After the division of labor was determined, he could have more time to practice.

Of course, considering that he had to practice magic and also began to comprehend the mysteries of the wasteland, the extra time was still crowded.

However, no matter what, adding four times of full-body exercise every day can be easily done.

In this way, the number of exercises per day can reach 22 times.

The speed of practice is naturally significantly increased!

Moreover, there are other bonuses.

Three days later, Ren Li handed a magic weapon to Du En.

It was a black robe, of the first-class grade, made of forest shadow leopard skin as the main material, supplemented by various spiritual minerals, and engraved with tough lines on the inside. It was soft on the outside and tough on the inside, and also had a certain degree of defense.

The most critical functions of gathering spirits, taming, warming the spirit, etc., which Du En required, were all the same, which could increase his basic cultivation efficiency by 10%, which was comparable to a breakthrough in the technique.

Du En was very satisfied with this.

Moreover, Ren Li also added an additional function of self-cleaning to it.

In this way, he not only did not have to worry about getting stained with various dirt and odors, but he could also save time for bathing and washing clothes.

It was almost possible to increase the number of times of practicing the technique once more, and the total number would reach 23 times.

"So, has it been named?"

Du En asked after feeling it.

Ren Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head directly: "No, I have forgotten it. Well... Seeing that you are wearing all black, I picked a word, lacquer, and because it is made of forest shadow leopard skin, I picked the word shadow, and put it together and call it the lacquer shadow vestment."

The name was chosen casually, and Du En didn't care. It was mainly for easy remembering.

"Alas~"

Ren Li couldn't help losing his mind again, shook his head and sighed, staring at the wasteland in front of him, his eyes became complicated, "What exactly is wrong? I think I have mastered the key, just a little bit, a little bit, but there has been no progress for several days, and I can't see the possibility of breaking through..."

He gradually became a little stressed, and his mood became anxious. He couldn't help talking to himself and began to pace back and forth.

Du En thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know the specific situation, are you getting stuck in a dead end?"

"Impossible!"

Ren Li seemed to be stimulated, dancing with joy, "This is absolutely impossible! You have a poor understanding, what can you understand?!"

In this state of mind, it was completely blurted out.

But he soon came back to his senses, his expression was a little stiff, looking at Du En's calm face, he was relieved and said, "Sorry, I'm not belittling you."

"It's nothing." Du En replied calmly, and then turned to ask about what he cared about, "By the way, have you received any news from the female leopard recently?"

"You are quite good at taking advantage of opportunities."

Ren Li muttered, and wanted to divert his attention, so he temporarily stopped thinking about the things of the wasteland, thought about organizing his words, and began to talk about what he knew.
