Chapter 362: Soul Blade

Chapter 362: Soul Blade

Without his soul sense, Xiao Feng couldn’t discern what was down below. However, based on the bite strength, it was definitely a mysterious creature at the tenth tier.

It was known that after entering the Profound Realm, one’s physical strength greatly improved. Non-Profound Realm beings couldn’t inflict fatal injuries on Profound Realm experts.

Clearly, the creature just now couldn’t break through Xiao Feng’s skin.

Looking down, Xiao Feng saw a white bite mark on his ankle. The bite mark was dense, composed of tiny individual points, indicating the creature had fine, sharp teeth rather than large, irregular teeth like those of a crocodile.

What kind of creature was this?

Cautiously, Xiao Feng peered into the hole. It was pitch black, and he couldn’t see anything.

Fearing something might suddenly emerge, Xiao Feng took out a signal flare and fired it into the hole.

The flare illuminated the hole briefly, but the darkness quickly swallowed the light, making it impossible to see anything.

"The space below is that vast!"

Only a large space where the flare’s light couldn’t reach would create such an effect.

After a brief contemplation, Xiao Feng decided to put the hole aside for now and first check out the source of the smoke in the eastern forest.

He would return to the hole later to see if there were other larger entrances he could enter.

Upon reaching the dense eastern forest, Xiao Feng took out a machete from his backpack. This machete was perfect for clearing paths in the wild.

The island showed no signs of human presence, so there were no paths. He had to cut through the underbrush to make his way.

Before long, Xiao Feng arrived at the area where he had seen the smoke.

Looking around, he noticed signs of a fierce struggle. A large tree had fresh, deep claw marks that had peeled off the bark and seriously damaged the trunk.

At that moment, Xiao Feng’s nose twitched. He smelled a strong scent of blood nearby.

Xiao Feng’s sense of smell and taste were very sharp, a passive skill from his chef abilities. Despite the energy suppression here, his passive skills were still functional.

From the intense odor, he deduced that the source was only about ten meters away.

Turning his head slowly, Xiao Feng saw a thick black python, about as wide as a barrel and over ten meters long. It had raised its head high and was looking down at him with cold, red eyes.

The python didn’t immediately attack but instead examined Xiao Feng curiously, as if he were an unfamiliar creature. It seemed to be contemplating whether to attack.

Neither moving nor reacting, Xiao Feng assessed the python through his system.

[Earth Python: Tenth Tier]

[Skills: ...]

[Note: Infected by earth energy, all its bloodline power has been awakened.]

Seeing this, Xiao Feng slowly retreated. However, as soon as he slightly lifted his leg, the python’s head suddenly lunged downward.

With its jaws wide open, exposing sharp fangs, the python fiercely bit toward Xiao Feng.

If Xiao Feng remained still, it might not have attacked, but any movement made him a target in the python’s eyes.

[Evil Buddhist Three Cuts: First Strike]

A fierce blade strike slashed through the air, hitting the python.

Slash!

The sharp, domineering blade energy ripped through the python’s scales, piercing its body. However, the strike wasn’t fatal, and the python continued its attack due to momentum.

[Nine Revolving Dragon Elephant Seal]

Seeing the python about to bite, Xiao Feng dropped his machete, pivoted his body, and delivered an uppercut.

The immense force sent the python’s head flying. Its long body was thrown a considerable distance.

Even after hitting the ground, the python remained unscathed.

Knowing the snake’s deadly nature, Xiao Feng quickly chased after it when it tried to escape.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Feng unleashed the Abyssal Hell Three Blades once more, this time imbuing it with the Death Slayer’s intent.

The blade energy hit the python right at its critical point.

The python immediately stopped moving, rolling over several times and breaking several trees before collapsing.

"This thing is much tougher than a tenth-tier python outside!"

Xiao Feng approached the fallen snake, noting that it had been transformed by the earth energy. He pried open the fatal wound, at the critical point, and retrieved the snake’s gallbladder. The green, fist-sized gallbladder was promptly swallowed by Xiao Feng like an egg.

"Good stuff!"

Satisfied, he moved to the python’s head and used his Dragon Head Blade to cut it open, extracting the crystal core. He then proceeded to skin the python and collect its materials.

Washing the crystal core with some water, Xiao Feng noticed it was different from regular tenth-tier cores, which were typically golden. This one had a milky white hue, indicating its purity.

"This must be related to that earth energy!"

He guessed the key difference in the crystal core and decided to test it using his system, which reported an astonishing three million energy units, significantly higher than the usual two million for a tenth-tier core.

"It seems the energy detected by the sensors on the Island Turtle is this earth energy!"

Gathering his things, Xiao Feng prepared to leave when he noticed a large monkey perched on a distant branch. The monkey, agile and stealthy, had evaded his notice until now, as it was over a hundred meters away—just beyond Xiao Feng’s enhanced sense of smell.

Xiao Feng observed that the monkey had bloodstains, indicating it was injured. He approached slowly, intending to use his Beast God bloodline to tame it. A local creature might help him uncover the island’s secrets.

However, as he got closer, the monkey got startled, leaping to higher branches and releasing a thick white smoke from its navel. The smoke, filled with a strong, confusing fragrance, disoriented Xiao Feng. By the time he recovered, the monkey had disappeared.

"It must have been the monkey that produced the white smoke earlier!"

Seeing the bloodstains on the monkey, Xiao Feng surmised it had been wounded by the giant python and had used the smoke to escape. The monkey didn’t seem hostile; it might even be grateful to Xiao Feng for killing the python.

Cautiously, Xiao Feng continued through the dense forest, using his sense of smell to detect any unusual scents within a hundred meters.

The rustling of leaves behind him caught his attention. Turning, he saw the monkey following him from a safe distance of about one to two hundred meters. Whenever Xiao Feng approached, the monkey would flee, but it continued to follow him as he moved on.

Ignoring the monkey, Xiao Feng pressed on, reaching the eastern edge of the forest where he found various large rocks being battered by the sea, causing large splashes.

Finding nothing of interest, Xiao Feng decided to head north, toward the cliffs, the highest point on the island. From there, he would have a vantage point to survey the entire island.

Looking behind him, Xiao Feng saw a sheer cliff over a hundred meters high, so smooth that even birds couldn’t perch on it.

But then he noticed a very well-hidden cave in the middle of the cliff. Its hidden nature was due to a protruding rock wall in front of it, which made it invisible from a distance. Only from Xiao Feng’s current angle could the cave be seen clearly.

"Wow, it’s so well hidden!"

Exclaiming in surprise, Xiao Feng immediately headed toward the top of the cliff above the cave. However, even from the top, he couldn’t descend directly due to the suppression of his energy, which prevented him from using his mind power. The distance was about fifty meters.

Looking around, Xiao Feng realized he didn’t have a rope.

"I definitely need to make sure I have a full set of tools next time!"

He decided to search the forest for some vines to use as a makeshift rope. As he walked, he considered what other abilities he could use. With his powers restricted, he couldn’t fly and had to rely on his martial arts and system-given skills.

The only martial art he had was the Abyssal Hell Three Blades, and his only weapon was the Dragon Head Blade. Even his charged destruction Barrett rifle was unusable.

"Maybe I could carve stairs into the cliff with the Dragon Head Blade!"

He thought of this wild idea, but the project seemed too immense. Using vines would be faster and safer. Just as he was about to gather vines, the large monkey appeared again.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The monkey waved its arms, trying to stop Xiao Feng. This time, it wasn’t afraid, even picking up rocks to threaten him, clearly not wanting him to leave.

"Do you not want me to leave here? Or do you not want me to go to that cave?"

The monkey seemed to understand and nodded repeatedly. Looking back at the cliff, Xiao Feng asked, "Is there danger in that cave?"

"Chirp chirp!"

The monkey nodded. However, Xiao Feng smiled wryly. He came here for adventure and treasure; avoiding danger wasn’t an option.

"Listen, I appreciate your concern, but I’m here to explore. Even if it’s dangerous, I need to go down there, understand?"

Ignoring the monkey, Xiao Feng continued toward the forest to gather vines. The monkey, unable to stop him, anxiously followed. Soon, Xiao Feng found many vines and tied them together, securing one end to a sturdy rock at the cliff’s edge. He tied another vine around his waist as a backup.

"If you’re worried, just stay here, okay?"

Xiao Feng instructed the monkey before rappelling down. He considered using his Beast God bloodline to control the monkey but decided forming a bond was more effective. Slowly, he descended to the cave entrance. The cave entrance was partially obscured by a protruding rock, allowing space for one person to stand.

Carefully stepping onto the ledge, Xiao Feng released the vine. He sniffed the air, detecting a musty, rotten smell with a slight breeze, indicating a large, ventilated space.

Activating his light source, Xiao Feng cautiously entered. To his surprise, he found a stone bed, chairs, and a table, all carved by hand. Clearly, someone had lived there. The stone bed even had dry grass on it.

Inspecting the walls with his light, Xiao Feng saw numerous densely packed symbols carved into the stone.

"What is this? Are these letters?"

Curious, Xiao Feng had his system record everything.

"System, can you decipher these symbols?"

[Notice: The symbols detected do not belong to this dimension and cannot be deciphered]

"Ah, a cooking system is just a cooking system, not as powerful as a battle system!"

Xiao Feng sighed, sitting down on the stone bed. Suddenly, he felt something hard under him. Reaching into the grass, he pulled out a three-inch-long, thin dagger. It was only as wide as a finger and as thin as ice.

Casually touching the blade, Xiao Feng felt a sharp pain as it cut his finger.

"What a sharp dagger!"

Xiao Feng’s eyes lit up with excitement as he realized he had found a treasure.

This dagger’s handle is black, cylindrical, and without any decoration.

It’s unknown what material it is made of.

It feels icy and comfortable to the touch.

Its thickness is the same as the blade, only one finger wide.

Swish!

Xiao Feng stabbed the stone table in front of him.

To Xiao Feng’s surprise, the dagger pierced the stone table effortlessly, as easily as stabbing tofu.

Impatiently checking with the system, Xiao Feng burst into laughter.

Soul Blade: Divine Weapon

Skill: Soul Control [Can be controlled with spiritual power, remotely operated]

Control Range: One thousand meters

Note: Only those with soul power at the Immortal Soul level can wield this Soul Blade.

"This is practically made for me!"

Xiao Feng stood up, overjoyed.

Moreover, what excited Xiao Feng the most was that this dagger turned out to be a divine weapon.

His Barrett and Dragon Head Knife were only at the celestial weapon level.

Currently, weapon levels are as follows: Divine weapons are the highest level.

[Weapon Levels: Ordinary, Human, Earth, Celestial, Divine]

"I’ve struck it rich!"

Xiao Feng tried to control the dagger with his soul power.

Next, the dagger slowly floated up.

With a single thought, the Soul Blade could fly to any location at will.

Although energy is restricted here,

Xiao Feng’s soul power is exceptionally strong.

In this place, Xiao Feng’s soul power can still be used.

"Why not sit here and use the out-of-body soul technique to explore?"

Xiao Feng considered this cautious approach.

However, the out-of-body soul must quickly find a suitable host.

If one isn’t found in time, it’s very dangerous.

Furthermore, this place is very eerie, and something might harm his physical body.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng dismissed the idea.

Then, Xiao Feng turned the place upside down, making sure there were no other treasures, and prepared to leave.

He walked back.

This small cave of less than thirty square meters had another entrance at the back.

After passing through the entrance, Xiao Feng was stunned by the sight.

In front of him was a vast open space.

Looking up, beams of light from holes in the ceiling shone down, making the area partially visible.

Those light beams were from the small holes Xiao Feng had previously fallen through.

The spacious cave had walls full of nooks and crannies; an expert climber could probably move around freely here.

Just then, Xiao Feng saw a shadow flash on the opposite cliff wall.

"Damn, the thing that bit me earlier was you, huh?"

There was nothing else down here, so it must have been this creature that bit him.

The Soul Blade flew out, streaking towards the opposite side like a meteor.

Whoosh!

The Soul Blade easily pierced the mysterious creature’s body.

A shadow fell from the darkness.

Under the intermittent light beams from above, Xiao Feng finally saw the appearance of the creature.
