BOOM!
An embarrassed figure could be seen crashing in the water, and when he surfaced again, he was holding onto a massive fish, about half-moon tall and it was still struggling in his hands, but the hands seemed like metal claws. No matter how the fish struggled the figure did not seem to stop, stepping on the water surface, with some agility displayed, one could think he was performing some miracle. He actually ran across the water, and his speed was fast before another huge figure appeared just behind him.
Even though the figure seemed injured with ragged clothes, he did not seem to care. He still was in the mood to laugh, and the sounds were loud as though taunting someone. "You big snake just wait, once I make another breakthrough, I will turn you into a barbeque."
Leaving behind these arrogant words, he seemed to rush to the other side of the forest as it was near him, After all, he was not in the right state to continue fighting or he might end up even losing his life.
It took him traveling some distance before he stopped, and his current situation was not that good, as such he stopped moving. Looking around vigilantly, he put the fish down forcefully before using his hand to forcefully crash its head. Without even thinking twice, he started to devour it just like that. He had once seen the Japanese meals that are usually served with raw fish, but he had never had the interest in trying them, at this moment his body was in need of energy.
Not only that, but he was also feeling that if he did not add energy to his body the consequences would be serious, and considering his current situation why would he care?
In the same moment, he instantly started to devour it without any shame and the effect was indeed much better than he had expected. The moment the fish entered his mouth, his sharp teeth had undergone a transformation due to his evolution crushed it in an instant. After having it completely swallowed, he felt it, the stomach seemed to work differently from before.
In an instant, all the food seemed to have been converted into energy that spread towards his body, but that was just the source of his trouble as his stomach seemed to send signals to add more.
Before he knew it, the entire fish had been crushed leaving behind not even bones, but to his surprise, he did not seem to feel any satisfaction that any normal person would have after eating a lot. But the heat seemed to be spreading all over the body, and even the cells in this body were dividing in the process, blood being generated.
At the same time, the hunger signals were still there but he could now feel his body situation was slightly better than when he fought the water snake. More importantly, he actually seemed to realize that his strength was increasing and he could feel it. On the other end, his face which had started to look haggard due to lack of energy seemed to have regained some youthful vigor.
When Cheng Shan decided to collide with the water snake, before, he had not considered a lot of things properly. But at this moment he did not have such a suicidal thought rather his eyes looked into the depths of the forest with some brutality. He had not even wiped the blood on his face, after all, he consumed the fish in some brutal and primitive manner. Feeling the grumbling of his stomach, his brutality intensified, it seemed to be something brought about by his clone to hunt prey.
The amount of consumption he had expended in the fight, at the moment seemed to have been a lot indeed. In that way, it ended up making him lose a lot of energy. But he would not repeat it after feeling that his body was indeed undergoing some kind of evolution. This was all probably due to the change on the panel that showed he had reached beyond 100 in terms of physique and spirit. This was already beyond human limits, and in a way, the energy needed to complete this process was not small.
He was going to look for more targets that could allow his transformation to complete. This transformation was important and even if he did not want to do anything, the situation would force him because the body had started to change and would need energy or he might be drained of any vitality in the end of the day.
What he had not expected was that the improvement in strength this time would lead to such a large need for energy. It was probably the same reason that he impulsively thought of fighting the water snake in case he got lucky and managed to kill it, but that was not rational. Even if he could defeat it, it might not be possible to capture it, considering the environment they were in.
Moving through the jungle, he was able to locate some wild boars, and they were indeed gathered, with some being massive in size. He did not rush but calmed down first. Since he had found a target hunting ground, he would have to deal with things in a smart manner. With this group, he could indeed manage to gather enough energy to reach the peak condition, as such he moved away and headed in another direction making preparations first.
The thing he located next was some cave by a running river, after gathering wood, he left and went back to hunting.
When he appeared before them, they turned and observed him, well not all of them. But his figure seemed to disappear, before appearing right in front of a massive wild boar and his fist struck at the skull. The power of this force was not that easy to take, and the creature fell down not standing up again, while Cheng Shan seemed to have turned into a shadow flickering around. In the moment he stopped, he was indeed not in the best condition, but all the massive boars had been taken out.
The rest reacted and rushed out into the forest, as such he was left with the creatures he had killed. The issue of moving them was what seemed to have become a problem at the moment. Looking around, he decided to bundle all six together and drag them to the destination.
Just as he thought, he did that, but the process was not as simple as he had expected, but it was still within the range of his capabilities.
"When I finish this it should be at least enough to let the process go smoothly right? But to continue using the radioactive energy it seems that I ned to locate some ginseng in this forest it would work better in this situation." He actually was already planning his next course of action.
As long as he could complete this stage of potential it would be worth it and he would not mind, going back to focus on the tour to locate other regions with the animals needed to improve Wu Qin Xi.
