Chapter 606
A blanket of fallen leaves dropped down from above and covered the corpse of the lynx . The emerald green formed a stark contrast with the red blood of the feline .
Lu Sheng retracted his rabbit claws . He walked over with a calm expression .
"Meat is poison . Consuming the flesh of others is, in itself, an extremely cruel method of sustenance . Give it some thought: aren't there many substances among plants that can substitute meat? Like mushrooms, fruits, and beans . "
Shire slowly recovered from his shock . However, he still looked confused .
When Lu Sheng saw this, he roughly knew the level of Shire's knowledge . Hence, he said no more .
"Let's go . Bring me to the rabbit tribe," he said drily .
After initial surprise, Shire hastily replied in a loud voice, "Yes… Yes!"
He led Lu Sheng and Incisor deep into the forest . After walking for more than 20 minutes, the leaves around them slowly changed from emerald green to dark red .
Shortly after, Shire stopped before a spacious cave .
"Gugu!" he shouted .
After a short while, a response came . "Gugu?"
Shire quickly made some more replies . Then, he turned around and spoke to Lu Sheng reverently . "Esteemed sage, this is the main nest of the white rabbit tribe . "
His voice barely faded when a huge throng of white rabbits came hopping swiftly out of the cave . There were even a few gray rabbits and Harlequin rabbits among them .
The group of rabbits looked at Lu Sheng who was standing on two feet with curious eyes . The rabbits' red eyes reflected the sunlight in the black cave . The scene resembled various gemstones glinting in the night .
An old rabbit with wrinkled skin and slightly dark eyes stood at the very front . He looked at Lu Sheng with fright . Then, he glanced at Shire as if he was waiting for an explanation .
"This is Sage Lu!" Shire started to introduce Lu Sheng to this old rabbit .
"The sage has killed Gray Rock in the forest of the wild breed . He even killed a lynx and gave me divine teaching," Shire spoke loudly with all apparent seriousness .
"A lynx?"
"Gray Rock? That venomous snake?"
The group of rabbits were immediately excited . Their bewildered gazes kept falling onto Lu Sheng .
A female rabbit stepped forward, and helplessly said, "Shire, have you eaten too much grass that you're out of your mind now? A rabbit killed Gray Rock and a lynx? Even if you want to find an excuse, you should come up with a better one . "
"Misha, I didn't make this up! I saw, with my own eyes, the sage beat a lynx to death right in front of me!" Shire's emotions were slightly agitated .
"Your own eyes?" the old rabbit in front spoke up .
"Yes! It's true! It's definitely true! The lynx's corpse is still where it is, we didn't move it!" Shire hastily explained .
The old rabbit nodded . He believed that Shire would not lie . However, there was a higher possibility that Shire was tricked .
"Let's have a look, shall we? We can just take a look from afar," said the old rabbit drily .
Lu Sheng paid no attention to their debate . He was indifferent whether they believed him or not . If things did not go smoothly here, he would go search for the other tribes .
Although he was a rabbit, that did not mean he was limited to subduing rabbits alone .
Even though the rabbits here had to have had their own reliance since they were able to live here for so long, that was insignificant for Lu Sheng .
As he looked at this group of rabbits arguing about whether they should accept him, an outsider, he gradually grew impatient .
Shire kept explaining, but nobody wanted to believe him . Some of the rabbits were even starting to doubt Shire . They suspect that Shire was in cahoots with Lu Sheng in a bid to trick the intelligent breed rabbits .
This made Shire's eyes grew redder .
"That's enough, Shire," Lu Sheng finally spoke up to stop him .
"If they're unwilling to accept the teaching, let them be . They aren't the only rabbits in the forest . Fate will not favor the rabbit tribe alone . "
He turned around and walked away . Rabbits were cowards by nature . An individual like Shire was the odd one here . It was actually understandable for the other rabbits to act this way .
Shire was arguing with the elder when he suddenly heard Lu Sheng's words from behind . He was immediately shocked . He turned around and saw that Lu Sheng was already some ways away . Lu Sheng was about to vanish among the foliage .
He hesitated hard on the spot . However, he could not suppress a certain anticipation and longing in his heart . He gritted his teeth and went after Lu Sheng .
"Shire! You come back here, Shire!" The shouts of a female rabbit came from behind .

Shire turned a deaf ear . Although he had only met Lu Sheng for a short period of time, he believed that Lu Sheng was the hope of the rabbit tribe . He was the rabbit tribe's sage, the light of hope!
He had always been bold . This time was no exception .
Shire followed Lu Sheng and Incisor . They kept going for some distance before stopping .
"Why are you following me?" Lu Sheng asked him out of curiosity .
Shire gave it some thought . In the end, he gave voice to his puzzlement . "Sage… Aren't you here to give the rabbit tribe enlightenment?"
"Wrong . " Lu Sheng shook his head . "I'm here to bring enlightenment to the entire forest . "
Shire was immediately hit with a sudden understanding…
After that, he followed Lu Sheng . They found an abandoned tree hollow and settled down .
Incisor was in charge of setting up the nest, while Shire was in charge of security . Lu Sheng, on the other hand, continued to eat grass whenever he felt hungry or thirsty .
He had accomplished the first stage of his Black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra . His appetite increased greatly . The amount of food he needed was much more than before . The grass fields around him was cleared away by him in a few days .
Soon after, the tree leaves in the surroundings also fell prey to him . The trees grew balder . The vegetation could no longer cater to Lu Sheng's appetite .
The third day after they left the rabbit tribe .
Lu Sheng stood before the tree hollow's window with his hands behind his back . He made this window to ventilate the tree hollow . Also, he outlined the places for the two rabbits to pee and poo . He did not want to be disturbed by the pungent scent of rabbit pee .
'This body is almost accustomed to the changes . It's time to carry out the next step . ' Currently, his body had completely gotten used to the first stage of the Black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra . He could rank up to the next level already .
At this moment, Shire was standing guard outside . Incisor was sleeping soundly on a nearby grass bed .
"Deep Blue . "
Lu Sheng summoned his modifier again . The light blue interface surfaced before him .
"Black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra, first stage . (Special traits . Enhancement of fundamental strength, level one . Enhancement of fundamental explosive strength, level one . Enhancement of fundamental vigor, level one . )"
He quickly pushed the modify button . Lu Sheng focused .
"Rank up Black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra to the second level . "

The frame blurred again . Lu Sheng quickly felt his own body swelling up again .
The warm sensation spread across his body again . His fur grew longer and appeared shinier now .
He'd initially been the size of a palm . Now, he was barely the size of two palms .
This time, the ranking up was quick .
The warm feeling had only persisted for a short while before it ended . The frame sharpened swiftly as well .
Lu Sheng glanced at the frame again .
"Black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra, second level . (Special traits . Enhancement of fundamental strength, level two . Enhancement of explosive strength, level two . Enhancement of fundamental vigor, level two . )"
"Pcchht!"
Lu Sheng swung his arm casually to test his agility .
His gray rabbit claw merely stayed in midair for an instant, yet it had left a clear mark . A claw mark a few centimeters deep had been left on the tree bark before him .
'There's no obstruction . I'm much stronger than before now . ' Lu Sheng was quite satisfied . It seemed as if his body was much more accustomed to the changes this time . Perhaps it was because it was the first improvement and he had to modify the cultivation method to suit a rabbit's constitution; that was why it took him so long .
This time, it was much faster .
The modifier had to adapt the Black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra, which was meant for humans, to suit a rabbit during his first rank-up . Lu Sheng guessed that this was also why it had taken this long .
However, it was different this time .
'Since this body can take it, let's rank up again . '
He decided to do as he liked .
He quickly focused his attention and started to improve his skill formula again . After a short while, the Black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra was raised to the third stage .
"Black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra, third stage . (Special traits . Enhancement of fundamental strength, level three . Enhancement of fundamental explosive strength, level three . Enhancement of fundamental vigor, level three . )"
At the third stage, Lu Sheng vaguely felt that he seemed to have a deeper understanding about the rhythm and nature of vigor in this world .

After all, the modifier used his spirit to derive and improve his martial path . Hence, he could clearly understand the process of every improvement made .
This was a cultivation process with his knowledge and experience to begin with .
When he reached the third stage of the Black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra, Lu Sheng clearly felt the suppression of the rules here on his main body weaken .
'It looks like I'm able to use my Yang Essence after all this time . There's also the transplanting art… I can only get used to this skill which is purely applied in surgery by dissecting the bodies of living beings . Also, the spirit-prompting threads are a branch of vigor too . I can somewhat use it now . That's good news… Just as well, the vegetation is growing sparse here . '
Vigor was the lowest class of energy in every world . However, it was precisely because it was of the lowest class that it had the greatest adaptability .
Many rules of the vigor's path could be used in many worlds . On the other hand, peak skill formulas that were highly specified had the lowest adaptability . A lot of time would be needed to modify them .
The third stage of this skill formula had resulted in Lu Sheng's body size being three times his original size .
Currently, he was the size of a little cat .
However, his strength was twice as great as that of the lynx he defeated before this .
With such strength, coupled with Lu Sheng's own combat experience, he was practically invincible in this forest .
Hence, Lu Sheng quickly began his plan .
. . .
. . .
"Aurr!"
Deafening wolf howls rose and fell throughout the forest . The sound spread far and wide .
Lu Sheng slowly exited his focused state . He was currently sitting cross-legged on the branch of a huge tree, waiting silently for something to happen below .
Shire and Incisor did not follow him here . They were too weak . They would be useless even if they were here . This time, Lu Sheng intended to settle this on his own .
The eyes of rabbits should not be able to see anything in the forest at night . Rabbits had terrible eyesight . They were short-sighted from birth . Also, they could not see things in three dimensions, so everything appeared flat to them .
This was because there was no overlap in their field of vision . The result was that they could not estimate distance .
Naturally, all this was meaningless to Lu Sheng . His immense vigor rolled within himself . This enhanced his body's adaptability to his surroundings to the maximum . His short-sightedness and two-dimensional view were corrected and improved thanks to his surging vigor .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
