When Li Chen climbed onto the ground again and returned to the stone forest where he had previously hidden, it was already bright outside.

The sun in the Demon Realm hangs high in the sky, scorching the earth like a huge fireball.

Li Chen checked the dry food and water he had left. Because the days and nights here are much longer than those in Dongshengzhou, he had been there for nearly a month and these items were almost exhausted.

But he still didn't go back. Instead, he silently packed up his luggage, summoned the Yahu and the Spinner, and left the stone forest.

Along the way, Li Chen searched for water sources while paying attention to monsters.

After about three hours of searching, he finally found a river three feet wide in a remote valley.

It seemed that it had rained a few days ago. The river here was plentiful and crystal clear. Li Chen quickly went over and filled all the containers he could use. After a while, he set up a bonfire and cooked meat soup.

.

He used the last remaining reserves of his own, large chunks of diced meat, and simmered them slowly with dry goods, making them fragrant and mouth-watering.

Li Chen picked up the big bowl and had a delicious meal. Then he put out the bonfire, covered up the traces, and covered himself with a carefully crafted servant demon painting.

As the art of transformation was performed, his body became rickety, his appearance mutated, and he turned into a living servant demon, swaggering along the river downstream.

When he previously released the spinning disk to survey the surroundings, he found that there seemed to be a community of servant demons living there, with about a hundred adult servant demons active inside.

"With my current strength, it is not difficult to deal with three or five servant demons at the same time, seven or eight is no problem, but if there are more than ten, I am afraid it will be difficult."

"Furthermore, whether there are three, five, or a dozen, once you take action, there will be losses. Even if you can hunt monsters and obtain inner elixirs to replenish them, you may still be unable to make ends meet."

"Once I make this kind of loss-making business, I will be in an extremely dangerous situation here!"

When there is no clear water, he can find rivers and lakes. When there is no dry food, he can dig wild vegetables, spiritual roots, and even hunt monsters for food.

But this spiritual stone is the only strategic resource that cannot be obtained at will for the time being!

He also does not have the ability of a foundation-building monk to draw vitality from heaven and earth and refine it into spiritual liquid. He can only increase revenue and reduce expenditure, trying to save the consumption of these things.

Therefore, if you want to deal with a large number of monsters, you have to find a way based on their own habits and group characteristics.

Li Chen knew very well what he was really lacking now.

But he couldn't solve this problem, after all, he was just a Yanzhe craftsman in the Qi refining realm.

Regardless of the path of Yanzhao, sword cultivator, or sorcerer, the state of Qi refining can only make simple use of the vitality of heaven and earth. At best, it can only introduce Qi into the body, refine it, and transform it into the potential and strength of the body.

Their cultivation and progress are inseparable from spiritual stones, and they cannot even keep the spiritual energy in them. They need to use banks or spiritual stone treasure houses to store this stuff.

As for the fairy mountain blessed land and the Lingbao Cave, they are simply legendary things and cannot be seen by low-level casual cultivators.

When it comes to foundation building, it can turn vitality into liquid, and has the ability to flow through itself and make full use of it.

Some smart people are even able to open their own spiritual pools and use spirit gathering arrays to maintain their spiritual stones and promote their own cultivation.

But this is not a long-term solution. The spiritual liquid in the spiritual pool will still evaporate and be lost, resulting in waste.

Therefore, they are still limited by the spiritual stone.

Only those above the realm of pill formation can open up the void, and even condense the energy of heaven and earth on their own, solidifying it into crystals for use.

Only these powerful people are qualified to break away from worldly restrictions and form their own sect, on par with sects and aristocratic families.

But this is just the ability to control vitality. If you can get additional spiritual stones and mines, you will still be a huge wealth.

Spirit stones are so important that monks cannot live without them. In Dongsheng Continent, there are overlords like the Creation Sect who control channels, issue talisman money, and provide exchanges for local monks. As long as you have other wealth, it is very convenient.

to supplement.

But now, Li Chen is determined to stay here. In a short period of time, there is almost no way to make up for it.

He didn't intend to add anything because he had already figured it out during this period of time.

As the saying goes, if you follow the rules, you will become a human being, and if you go against the rules, you will become an immortal. If you only use ordinary methods, you can only do ordinary things.

In this way, all he relies on is the knowledge and skills in his own mind!

Li Chen quickly approached the group of servant demons. Using the surrounding rocks and mounds as cover, he successfully sneaked into the surrounding area and found one of the demons who looked a little thin and alone. He suddenly struck out and slashed its left leg with a knife.

.

The servant demon screamed in pain and stretched out its claws to grab it angrily.

But Li Chen was already prepared and had summoned two warrior puppets to wait for him.

There were servant demons in the distance who were alerted and looked over, but with their simple minds, all they saw were fellow servant demons arguing and fighting.

They didn't understand why those three "demon" bullied the weak man who seemed to have no power to resist.

With the help of the puppet, Li Chen soon subdued the unlucky servant demon, but he did not kill it. Instead, he controlled two armored soldiers to hold it down and tie it up, and used the machine beast to carry it away from the place that might be under siege.

dangerous place.

The journey was uneventful and he successfully returned to the river bank several miles away. Li Chen found a secret place nearby surrounded by several huge rocks and hid in it. Then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"My intensive research and improvement during this period have indeed worked. The camouflage effect of this photo-photographic painting is getting stronger and stronger, and it is enough to confuse those servant demons for a while!"

"However, judging from the reaction of this servant demon, once you take action, it is still easy to leak the original energy and be noticed by it."

"Fortunately, a low-level servant demon can't cause any trouble."

As the saying goes, people with great skills are bold. What Li Chen did just now, which seemed to be bold, was based on the premise of having great confidence in his own skills.

In fact, it is still difficult for Li Chen to deal with this kind of servant demon by himself.

Its thinness is only compared to other monsters. Compared to ordinary humans, it can still be said to be strong, with sharp claws and good fighting ability.

Although Li Chen's cultivation is profound, he is a Yanzhe who values ​​knowledge and skills. Only by transforming himself into a puppet can he become suitable for fighting.

He finally summoned a puppet to subdue this monster.

The puppet's disguise is far easier to expose than himself, which is also helpless.

But now that he had succeeded, he didn't think too much. He immediately took out a specially made sharp steel knife, blessed it with magic power, and walked towards the slave demon prisoner who was tied up with animal sinew ropes and steel wires.

"puff!"
