................................................................................................

The Rokushou Beast King's body was incredibly tough, with a resistance to physical attacks that surpassed even mechs.

Jiang Li and Wang Changrong's combined attacks could only knock it back, but not harm it. The battle was at a stalemate.

The Rokushou Beast King let out a sharp cry, attempting to use a mental illusion.

However, Jiang Li and Wang Changrong, who had practiced the "Dragon-Snake Synergy," meditated on a dragon and a snake soaring through the universe, their spirits linked like the yin and yang of the Taiji, making them invincible.

Moreover, they emitted dragon roars and snake hisses, their long cries causing the stone room to be filled with howling winds and swirling air currents. Luo Han and Xue Ling could only stand ready in the corner, prepared to strike the Rokushou Beast King with a fatal blow at any moment.

Their vitality was 1.3, which allowed them to pose a certain threat to the Rokushou Beast King.

The two of them, with their superior martial arts experience, were a match for the demon, whose sharp claws could cut through metal like butter, making it very difficult to deal with. Apart from its fear of water, it had no apparent weaknesses.

Pfft!

Wang Changrong spat out another jet of water, using the Dragon Water Spout technique.

The water shot out like arrows, straight and true. With his current level of internal organ breathing, the water jets could pierce wooden boards and shatter porcelain within three steps.

This Dragon Water Spout, combined with the Dragon-Snake Synergy, was perfectly executed.

Moreover, the water jets targeted the Rokushou Beast King's eyes, which, while relatively weak, were well-protected.

However, when the water jets hit its eyes, the Rokushou Beast King immediately flew back, screeching in pain. Its body went wild, its claws smashing into the rocks, turning them to powder.

What a great opportunity!

Jiang Li was about to spout water again but suddenly realized he had no water left; all the water bottles were empty.

"Damn..." He was startled, then saw the Rokushou Beast King spinning and charging towards Luo Han and Xue Ling.

"This is a classic 'relief by diversion' strategy! The Rokushou Beast King is as intelligent as a human!" Jiang Li shouted, flinging his hand to send a long, thick jet of water, like a high-pressure water gun, striking the Rokushou Beast King's back.

At this moment, he didn't care about exposing his secret to Wang Changrong. Using his mental power, he opened a fist-sized spatial rift, and the pressure from the spatial change forced the water to spurt out.

Just as the Rokushou Beast King reached Luo Han and Xue Ling, it was drenched in water, its scales contracting, and it shivered like a wet chicken, its body weakening significantly.

The water jet continued to pound its body, and Wang Changrong was stunned, wondering where the water came from.

"Dragon-Snake Synergy, tear it apart!" Jiang Li suddenly burst out, and Wang Changrong understood. The two of them used all their strength, closing in on the Rokushou Beast King and tearing it apart with a loud rip.

Rip!

The Rokushou Beast King was torn in half, and a fist-sized piece of its base-meat fell out, which Luo Han quickly caught and stored.

"It's over..." Jiang Li sighed in relief, but noticed Wang Changrong staring at him intently.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Li feigned ignorance.

"Kid, where did that water jet come from? Did you just conjure it out of thin air?" Wang Changrong's voice echoed in his mind: "That's impossible for a human. Do you have some kind of spatial folding technology?"

This was a mental conversation.

Jiang Li pondered. He knew that lying to Wang Changrong, a meditative master with a keen mind, would be futile.

"Yes, I have a treasure with spatial folding technology," Jiang Li replied mentally.

"Indeed!" Wang Changrong realized: "I always had a feeling that you wouldn't be ordinary. I never imagined you would master spatial folding technology, which even the elite zones of humanity can't achieve. Your martial arts are from an extraterrestrial source, aren't they?"

"You're right," Jiang Li admitted.

"Don't worry, this is a big secret, but it's not that significant. The real wealth for humans is obtaining extraterrestrial ships. Compared to that, getting some extraterrestrial items is quite normal. It's an era of heroes, where some have great fortune and obtain treasures, while others fall. The world is vast and full of wonders. At the meditative level, one can treat any matter equally without it affecting my mind." Wang Changrong sighed: "However, since you have spatial folding technology, I need your help with something."

"You're not thinking of using the spatial folding technology to take you out, are you?" Jiang Li immediately understood Wang Changrong's thoughts: "That's absolutely impossible. Your identity would cause a lot of trouble."

"What trouble?" Wang Changrong sneered: "As soon as I get out, I can contact many powerful figures, and they will respond. Do you think I'll be a homeless wanderer? If you take me out, I'll give you 100 million star coins! How about that?"

"Do you really have that much money?" Jiang Li didn't believe it.

"You're insulting me." Wang Changrong looked at Jiang Li as if he were a frog at the bottom of a well: "Is 100 million a lot? For our family, it's like one coin. Besides, I'm a mid-level hypnotist, and my wealth is beyond your imagination."

"You committed such a serious crime and were exiled to Rokushou for ten years. I bet all your assets were seized." Jiang Li wanted to dig deeper into Wang Changrong's secrets. He was also tempted, as Wang Changrong was a formidable figure. By killing Yu Muhua and Jiang Li, he had already offended the big shots in Jinghua City and the Sun Moon Group. Forming alliances to counter these two major forces was crucial.

"I've hidden some of my wealth." Wang Changrong stood with his hands behind his back: "What do you say? One hundred million isn't enough? Two hundred million!"

"Money is secondary." Jiang Li waved his hand. Although he needed money, taking Wang Changrong's money would be a transaction, and he didn't want to do that. Owning a favor from such a person was worth far more than two hundred million.

Now he had a clear mind. With his abilities, he could easily earn money.

"I can take you out, but I have some troubles in the outside world, and I hope you can help me solve them. I won't take your money; people like us can easily earn it." Jiang Li said.

"What kind of trouble?" Wang Changrong wouldn't agree easily.

"I have a grudge with the Sun Moon Group. It's like this..." Jiang Li explained the situation, which he didn't need to hide.

"Sun Moon Group, Jiang family..." Wang Changrong sneered: "They're getting bigger, but they're a bit tricky. While it's hard to bring them down, protecting you is easy. If you join the Huaxia Restoration Organization, no one can touch you. With your current strength, you'll immediately become a high-ranking member."

"I won't join the Restoration Organization." Jiang Li shook his head: "We'll do this as a favor."

"Young man, you're quite good, not greedy, and you're gradually finding your true self, but you still have a way to go to shape your own path." Wang Changrong praised: "Not many young people can earn my praise."

"Already at the meditative level, what more can I be greedy for?" Jiang Li laughed: "The Rokushou Beast King is dead, and according to our agreement, we'll split the base-meat."

As he spoke, Luo Han handed over the base-meat. Jiang Li used his fingernail to split the fist-sized piece, giving half to Wang Changrong, and then divided it into three parts, giving one to Luo Han and one to Xue Ling.

The Rokushou Beast King's base-meat was far more powerful than ordinary base-meat.

As soon as Jiang Li consumed it, his cells rejoiced, and a powerful energy flowed through his limbs and body. While his vitality didn't increase significantly, his cells, especially his brain cells, were strengthened.

If he went out as a hypnotist now, he could hypnotize more people, and his value would skyrocket, as he was already a mid-level hypnotist.

A junior hypnotist charges 1,000 star coins per person, while a mid-level hypnotist charges a hundred times more, or even more. It's hard for ordinary people to hire such a person.

When Wang Changrong consumed it, his aura changed significantly. He let out dragon roars and tiger growls, with air jets shooting from every pore, and his muscles gleamed with a new luster, his vitality increasing by a small margin.

It should have reached 2.2.

This wasn't surprising. Jiang Li found it difficult to increase his vitality, as it was like expanding a container. Wang Changrong's original vitality was 2.5, but it had degenerated due to the harsh conditions on Rokushou. Now, with sufficient nutrition and energy, certain cell functions were quickly restored.

"Finally, we've killed a Rokushou Beast King." After a long while, Wang Changrong opened his eyes, his breath like the ebb and flow of a dragon and snake. However, when his gaze fell on Jiang Li, it showed a hint of seriousness. Although Jiang Li didn't show significant improvement, his martial arts experience had advanced rapidly.

Luo Han and Xue Ling's vitality also increased by a small margin, from 1.3 to 1.4.

"The Rokushou Beast King's base-meat is incredibly powerful! It's equivalent to dozens of bottles of Sun Essence, and its quality is even higher. Most importantly, it can be directly absorbed by the human body." Luo Han stretched comfortably, not expecting to enhance her vitality on Rokushou, where other students could barely maintain their physical strength.

"With the Rokushou Beast King dead, the other Rokushou beasts will be leaderless and will retreat, being taken over by other tribes. We are now in absolute safety." Wang Changrong said: "Listen, the Rokushou beasts are flying away."

Indeed, large groups of Rokushou beasts were leaving, fleeing in a hurry. They had a mental connection, and knowing their king was dead, they were mentally shattered and dared not stay, let alone attack Jiang Li.

"Pity..." Jiang Li didn't chase after them: "Those Rokushou beasts are all base-meat."

"No problem." Wang Changrong said: "I know the distribution of all the caves and Rokushou tribes within a few thousand miles. With a portable water source, our range of action can be greatly expanded. We can even hunt more Rokushou Beast Kings. Moreover, some caves contain the salt we need."

Surviving on Rokushou, the most important thing is to be close to a water source.

However, since Jiang Li had a portable large space, it was like carrying a swimming pool, and the water supply could last for months.

This way, their actions wouldn't be restricted, and they could do more.
