‘This is the meat that was cut off today?’
Zhou Feng looked at the missing lump on the Meat Gu’s back and instantly realized why the Meat Gu was so irritable today.
It turned out that they had already harvested the Meat Gu’s flesh.
As mentioned earlier, the Meat Gu had all sorts of special characteristics. Thus, it was raised like a meat pig.
Normally, the warts on the back of this Meat Gu could be said to be huge. It was like the crown of a tree, growing densely on the back.
But now, it was cut in half, the bleeding had yet to stop, and it had not received treatment.
In any case, the Meat Gu’s self-healing ability was powerful, and its injuries would completely recover as long as it ate a few more meals.
Zhou Feng looked at the chains on the Meat Gu’s body carefully and found that the two thick chains were still piercing through the Meat Gu’s body, while the fixed pillars were still intact.
He relaxed slightly upon seeing this. As long as the chains were still there, it did not spell certain death even if there was danger.
‘It’s a pity that I did not learn any footwork. Otherwise, I would not have to spend so much effort!’
Zhou Feng could not help but mock himself.
The treatment the outer Tri-Gu disciples received could be described as terrifying.
Not only were they controlled by Gu, but they were also forced to do all sorts of labor. They didn’t even have any cultivation techniques.
As for the Cultivation Imparting Hall, he had already inquired about it.
Listening to a lecture required Sect Contribution Points, but the outer disciples simply couldn’t get any Sect Contribution Points. Therefore, the Cultivation Imparting Hall was nothing more than a decoration to them.
This was equivalent to forcing all the outer disciples to speed through the Body Tempering realm and successfully break through to the Qi Gathering realm.
This was because only in this way could the outer disciples have a chance of surviving.
Of course, this was not without any hope.
In addition, there was another path, and that was to become the inner disciples’ slaves, strongmen, masked chieftains, and so on.
As long as there was an inner disciple’s guarantee, they would be able to get rid of the outer disciple’s restrictions and enter the mountainside market.
It was said that the Tri-Gu Sect had established two markets on the mountainside.
These markets were specially used to welcome all kinds of cultivators and were used to exchange resources.
It could be said that the environment Zhou Feng was currently in was like a prison. Other than working and cultivating, there was nothing else he could do.
This was because he had not interacted with anyone in the past few months. Thus, he could only relieve the loneliness in his heart by cursing in his heart.
After cursing, he started working!
Zhou Feng grabbed a sack and slowly walked toward the Meat Gu.
A special chain pierced through this Meat Gu’s body and firmly fixed it in the middle, so he had to deliver the fodder personally to the Meat Gu’s mouth.
This was also the most dangerous step. Even though the Meat Gu’s body could not move, it still had four thick, tough, and extremely fast tentacles.
The Meat Gu’s flesh had just been cut off, so it was in an irritable state.
If the feeder was caught by accident, the outcome would be simple—they would be directly sent into the Meat Gu’s mouth.
Speaking of this, someone might have to ask: why not throw the fodder far away and let the Meat Gu pick it up with its tentacles to eat?
Zhou Feng had already tried this method when he first fed it.
Unfortunately, it did not work.
If you threw the fodder directly, the Meat Gu would not eat it at all. You had to personally lift it up and bring it to this lazy fellow’s mouth before eating it.
“Come! Eat it quickly! It will heal after eating it!” Zhou Feng softly tried to comfort the Meat Gu before gently bringing the fodder to its mouth.
Suddenly, one of the tentacles moved, and the sound of the air being torn echoed.
Zhou Feng had been vigilant, so he immediately threw away the fodder in his hand and retreated.
The Meat Gu let out an ear-piercing sound, and the lump of flesh on its body started to shake.
Even the lump of flesh on its back started to spurt out blood and pus.
This scene was so disgusting that it gave people goosebumps.
Zhou Feng did not continue to move but waited for the Meat Gu to slowly calm down.
Only when the Meat Gu completely calmed down did he continue to feed it.
This process required patience and reaction.
Fortunately, because of the series of feeding exercises earlier, he was very familiar with it.
The entire feeding process was thrilling but not dangerous, and today’s mission could be considered to have been completed.
After completing the mission, Zhou Feng’s entire body fell to the ground.
It was really challenging to feed the Meat Gu during its irritable state. If this was any other time, he would have already completed the mission.
‘The progress bar should be full! Let me see what passive skill I can draw this time!’
Zhou Feng directly opened the skill panel.
For the sake of a good passive skill, he had had to hold it in for three months.
Considering his current predicament, trading five or six useless low-level passive skills for this one was worth the gamble.
If he could obtain a strong passive skill—no matter what type it was—it would help him escape from the Tri-Gu Sect.
Looking at the golden progress bar, he chose to draw directly.
[Drawing…]
Battle Instinct: Battle is like your instinct! In battle, your body will always make the right choice at the first moment.
‘This is… a combat-type passive! It’s a Gold combat-type passive skill!?’
Zhou Feng’s eyes widened.
This was the first time he had drawn a battle-type passive skill.
The previous few passive skills were mostly growth-type and support-type.
Right now, he was in dire need of a passive combat-type skill because such a skill could instantly increase his battle prowess.
Battle Instinct?
He carefully read the description of this skill.
‘It feels a little powerful!’
Zhou Feng looked at the description of the skill and felt what changes his body had undergone.
‘Eh? This is really a little different.’
He felt that his body was becoming lighter, and no matter his posture, he could keep his body in the best condition.
With every breath, there was a sense of rhythm.
Just like instinct, his pace, breathing rhythm, and strength had all changed.
This had directly become an instinct. If one did not compare carefully, they would not be able to notice such a subtle change.
It was too unbelievable! This was really too unbelievable!
After such a change, Zhou Feng could not help but perform a set of Vajra Strength Fists on the spot.
Zhou Feng now performed the somewhat heavy Vajra Strength Fist without any hindrance like in the past.
It was soft, silky, and smooth, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
This feeling was akin to an ordinary person becoming a martial artist, who had been practicing martial arts for 20 years, in one night.
Zhou Feng’s greatest disadvantage was that he had never practiced martial arts before.
One had to know that people in this world had basically been practicing martial arts since they were young.
Because of the environment, it was too difficult to live without practicing martial arts.
Therefore, in terms of foundation, he had always been inferior to other people.
However, this Battle Instinct (Passive) directly made up for this shortcoming.
It was the equivalent of tamping down the foundation, and he didn’t believe that this Gold passive skill had only this effect.
There must be some other effect that he hadn’t discovered yet.
