Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 521: Necessary Choices

Those Fierce Beasts with transparent bodies seem unafraid of Xu Yi’s Level 5 Divine Master’s aura.

However, before they could approach the tent, Xu Yi and Lightning discovered them.

Without Xu Yi having to take action, Lightning charged forward with White Feather.

Lightning was already a Fierce Beast at the peak of Level 4.

Although there were more than a dozen of these transparent-bodied Fierce Beasts, they couldn’t match Lightning in strength. Even White Feather could bite these transparent Fierce Beasts to death.

Xu Yi stepped out and directly captured one.

He was still curious about this kind of Fierce Beast, considering he had seen its corpse before, which was black.

However, while alive, it was transparent.

Encasing the Fierce Beast with his Spiritual Power, Xu Yi discovered that it wasn’t truly transparent.

But visually, it appeared transparent.

So, this indicated it was using some method. If he could unravel the secret, Xu Yi might achieve "invisibility."

As a result, Xu Yi directly tamed it.

It wasn’t troublesome; he only needed three Taming Skills to tame it.

In the pot, the meat porridge was cooking.

The ingredients used were fresh meat from a Level 4 Fierce Beast, complemented by fragrant rice and some other coarse grains.

This breakfast could be considered extremely sumptuous.

The meat porridge simmered on high heat for half an hour until it became incredibly thick.

Xu Yi provided each person a set of utensils, including a meal bowl, soup bowl, and a water cup, all made from pure titanium, very lightweight.

Xu Yi really liked these industrial-style utensils. He had liked them before but was deterred by the price.

Now all their cookware and other containers were titanium products, greatly satisfying Xu Yi’s aesthetic.

"So fragrant, I haven’t had porridge for two hundred days, and such fragrant porridge at that," Su Yan held her bowl. Whenever she was home, her mother would cook porridge and make various small dishes.

Therefore, Su Yan loves eating porridge, especially in the morning.

Xu Yi made such a large pot, and it definitely wouldn’t be finished for breakfast. But if stored in the Storage Space to be eaten tomorrow, it would remain fresh without any spoilage.

Any refrigerator is too inferior compared to the Storage Space in the Star Chart; they are not even on the same level.

"Yes, this porridge is the best I’ve ever tasted," Wang Jin said after trying a bite, feeling like she almost swallowed her tongue.

Even Qin Fan, who usually dislikes porridge, found this porridge extremely tasty and wanted to have another bowl.

After eating their fill, everyone washed their utensils and began packing up the tent.

Today, they still had to keep traveling.

No one knows exactly how far the Level 5 Fierce Beast territory is.

The temperature here was too low, and Lightning couldn’t fly continuously for more than six hours.

Otherwise, Xu Yi could have let it scout ahead and used the Star Chart’s map function to get a general idea.

At 8:15 in the morning, Xu Yi and the others set off.

At this time, Li Kang and Lei Jie were still preparing their breakfast.

However, they also knew it was difficult for them to catch up with Xu Yi. After all, the gap was obvious; they had the will but not the strength.

Shortly after Xu Yi and the others set off, they encountered Fierce Beasts suitable for use as mounts.

Because their feet had wide structures, akin to sleds.

The others did not have this characteristic and couldn’t run particularly fast, so Xu Yi did not tame them.

After all, supporting their bodies using Telekinesis for running was a form of practice for Qin Fan and the others.

But the newly appeared Fierce Beasts ran very fast, even faster than Black Qilin on normal roads.

There were five such Fierce Beasts, so Xu Yi tamed them all.

As for Black Qilin and Unicorns, they would attach some treads to their feet for similar effects.

Thus, Xu Yi and the others’ speed increased significantly, widening the distance from Li Kang and the others.

"Xu Yi, it’s getting colder. Is my clothing no longer heating?" Zhou Chun approached Xu Yi, curiously asking.

A few hours ago, he still felt warm, but later it became colder.

Of course, others felt the same.

Xu Yi signaled everyone to stop and said, "Now, it’s basically certain that the closer we get to the Level 5 Fierce Beast territory, the lower the temperature."

What will the temperature drop to? Xu Yi didn’t know either.

Minus 100 degrees?

It’s possible, as no one has been there.

To unravel the mystery, they can only move forward.

"Minus 47 degrees, decreased by -6 degrees. We can use our Telekinesis to construct a Telekinesis Field to isolate the outside cold, which is also a form of practice. If anyone can’t hold up, report immediately; don’t try to be strong," Xu Yi said and then used Spiritual Power to construct a Spiritual Force Field for himself.

The cold instantly disappeared, and his body warmed up again.

But soon Xu Yi discovered a new problem.

Black Qilin could not withstand it; its body was shivering, and its Telekinesis was nearly depleted.

So, he had to stop and took out the Spirit Race tent.

Once inside, Xu Yi removed his gloves and helmet.

Wang Jin entered and, seeing Xu Yi doing so, followed suit.

"Wow, this tent is so warm; Spirit Race technology is really amazing," Wang Jin felt the tent was particularly comfortable, like she could take off her clothes with no problem.

Everyone came inside, including Black Qilin and the Unicorns.

"It’s getting colder; at this rate, when we reach the Level 5 Fierce Beast territory, it could be minus six or seventy degrees. We can hold up, but Black Qilin can’t, right?" Lu Ke worriedly said.

After all, bringing Black Qilin over, it’s impossible to abandon them like that, right?

"They can’t indeed hold on, so I plan to send them back." Xu Yi realized if they followed all the way, they would certainly freeze to death, so it’s better to send them back.

With the strength of a Level 4 Fierce Beast, Black Qilin and the Unicorns should be able to survive here.

Su Yan silently nodded, although she was reluctant in her heart, she had to let go. Her strength could not protect the Unicorn.

Even Xu Yi had to give up on Black Qilin to protect Lightning; what more could she insist on?

Let go, and maybe the Unicorns will have a chance; persisting means certain death.

After getting Su Yan’s approval, Xu Yi let them rest in the tent and then sent Black Qilin and the Unicorns a certain distance back.

Of course, they took the Star Chart, as it could not be wasted on them.

On this journey, they needed to abandon some things.

Mounts are just one of them.

Some choices are insignificant in the face of survival.
