"What a huge pig dragon!"
Du ke squinted his eyes and looked at the huge creature floating on the water surface.
This was a pig dragon that could only be seen in the great rivers, ferocious, cunning, cruel and violent.
It would often attack the families along its habitat, killing anything human or animal. Encountering it on the boats in the river would also often lead to tragic scenes of capsized boats and lost lives.
There was a dense network of rivers around Mao City, and transportation relied heavily on the waterways.
This pig dragon must have swum here from other places along the river, attracted by the scent of the powders of Moonlight Pill and Blood Qi Pill that Du ke had sprinkled earlier, and followed the smell here.
"It looks like it's about to transform into a spirit, otherwise it wouldn't be able to have such a huge body."
Just as Du ke was staring at the pig dragon, the huge body of the pig dragon shook abruptly without warning, then rushed out of the water towards Du ke standing on the shore.
Although this pig dragon was huge, with a body dozens of meters long from head to tail, such a massive body was actually able to move so agilely and swiftly, which was really beyond Du ke's expectations.
However, being beyond expectations did not mean he could not react.
The moment the pig dragon rushed out of the river, Du ke leapt up into the air, while the pig dragon rushed past like a train where he had been standing just before.
The cat curled up in midair, and as the pig dragon charged into the reed marsh, Du ke also extended his body and nimbly landed.
"Thirteen, stay away for now, don't get yourself hurt later!"
Du ke watched the pig dragon that charged into the reed marsh, flattening a path, and trotted after it directly.
Hearing Du ke's words, Thirteen immediately turned his head and burrowed into the reed marsh next to him, so as not to cause trouble for Du ke.
"Hmm....hmm....roar!!"
Having charged at nothing, the pig dragon slowly turned, its mouth full of fangs opened a slit, emitting a low roar.
Watching the slowly turning pig dragon, Du ke's eyebrows jumped. This pig dragon had powerful bursts at short distances, but it seemed to have some difficulty turning.
Just as Du ke was thinking this, the pig dragon suddenly swung its tail, which was four to five meters long.
The long tail swept through the air, breaking who knows how many reeds with its rows of scales.
Facing the sudden long tail, Du ke immediately cursed out loud: "What a sly, insidious beast!"
But Du ke did not dodge or evade, instead charging straight at the sweeping tail of the pig dragon.
The tail that could snap a large tree that took a person's whole embrace to surround was useless against a cat less than a foot long. Rather than having any effect, it was suppressed.
The cat stood upright and firmly grasped the long tail of the pig dragon, while also opening its mouth to reveal a mouth full of fangs, its demonic aura radiating in all directions.
"You want to compete in physique with me?"
The Water and Fire Fairy Garment combined with the Mercury Blood Silver Marrow made Du ke's physique as powerful as a monster's.
Although this pig dragon was massive in size and tremendous in strength, it was still lacking compared to the cat.
Reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment gave Du ke the strength to carry a cauldron, but humans and beasts were different, and their cultivated energy also differed.
Du ke now had the strength of nine full cauldrons. How could this pig dragon that was about to transform be able to shake him?
The cat standing upright revealed his claws, and with a surge of inner force, the impenetrable scales of the pig dragon were easily pierced through.
"Roar!"
The pig dragon in pain let out a furious roar, tucking its limbs close to its body and forcibly trying to roll over.
This was the pig dragon's habitual lethal rolling attack after catching its prey.
But how could Du ke let it have its way?
Just as the pig dragon was about to roll over in place, Du ke sank his energy to his dantian, and his surging inner force radiated blood qi, becoming a faint red glow.
With the augmentation of the dragon blood qi, his powerful physique became even more tyrannical. The raging inner force surged like crashing waves.
The pig dragon that wanted to twist its body was instead hauled up by the tail by the cat with brute force.
"Roar!"
Forced off the ground by the cat, the pig dragon let out a roar of shock and fury, but it still could not change its plight.
"Get up for me!!"
Du ke roared, causing many cats to poke their heads out from the reed marsh to watch as this seemingly weak white cat effortlessly lifted up the river monster as big as dozens of cats.
Then,
Smash!!
The ground cracked with a thud, shattering countless reeds.
The pig dragon lying on its back with its vulnerable underbelly exposed, the surrounding cats' eyes widened.
"Purr..... "
The pig dragon, battered by Du ke, had never suffered such humiliation since it was small. It let out a pathetic low moan from its throat, feeling the tearing pain in its tail again as it was lifted up once more by Du ke.
"Smash it for me!!!"
Du ke lifted the pig dragon high again and heavily smashed it down on the ground to one side. His own demonic aura also began to spread, becoming an bizarre, invisible demonic atmosphere.
One smash!
Two smashes!
Three smashes!
Four smashes!
...
Until blood seeped from the pig dragon's eyes and nose, Du ke still felt unsatisfied. He flung it high up into the air. The cat also jumped up high, sinking his claws into the pig dragon's belly scales, and slammed down forcefully.
Bang!!
After landing this time, the pig dragon's mouth opened as blood gushed out like a fountain, apparently dead.
"Heh, really can't take a beating!"
Du ke retracted his claws, which were now covered in bloodstains, and landed on the pig dragon's belly. He waved his paws in disgust, then opened his mouth in a grin at the pig dragon about 15 meters long in front of him.
"Refining the flesh and blood of such a big guy into Blood Food Pills will certainly be quite delicious!"
"It's an unexpected gain."
Just as Du ke finished speaking, the white cat heard cat calls.
"Meow!"
"Meow!!"
"Aowu!"
"Aow!"
"Miaowu!"
...
Looking in the direction of the sounds, cats emerged one by one from the surrounding reeds, their calls different but all conveying a different meaning.
That was submission!
One by one, the cats lowered their heads crawling towards Du ke. At the same time, Du ke's eyelids jumped.
This was because extremely rich spiritual qi emanated from these cats' bodies, and the spiritual qi spread towards Du ke on its own initiative.
Du ke instinctively inhaled, sucking all the cats' spiritual qi into his mouth.
Du ke immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, the Spirit seeds planted in the infinite void within his soul became full and plump with the influx of so much spiritual qi.
While Du ke was refining the spiritual qi, the dog emerged from the reed marsh and came to the cat's side.
Unlike the cats that sat on the pig dragon's belly, the dog bared its teeth in a grin, tongue lolling out.
Hehe, as expected of the cat master of the Wang family, so powerful!
After Du ke finished refining the spiritual qi, he slowly opened his eyes and said joyfully, "The Spirit seeds are full, I'll soon be able to complete the first stage of cultivation!"
"It was really right to come out this time!"
Seeing the cats bowing down in submission to him, Du ke was not stingy either. He directly took out lots of Moonlight Pills and crushed them into moonlight powder, pushing it towards these cats.
The cats were overjoyed and vied with each other to open their mouths and inhale the descending moonlight.
After Du ke had crushed more than 20 Moonlight Pills he stopped.
These cats were honoring his cultivation, so he would give them some reward. Moonlight could help beasts awaken spirituality and had many other wonderful uses.
Moreover, he could refine Moonlight Pills every night, it just took some physical strength. To Du ke, it was worthless.
"Time to go back!"
With a thought, Du ke stored the pig dragon in the Black Cauldron space, and called out to the dog.
"Thirteen, let's go back!"
"Aowu!"
Thirteen nodded, moving closer to Du ke while the cat landed on the dog's back.
Du ke waved his paw at the group of cats, conveying his meaning through fluctuations of spiritual qi for them to disperse first, and he would come back to play with them another time.
Having received Du ke's order, the cats immediately dispersed. Du ke patted Thirteen, and Thirteen carried the cat and ran out of the reed marsh.
As for the water pit dug earlier, Du ke didn't bother with it anymore, leaving it for the cats here.
Thirteen moved lightly and quickly arrived at the edge of the reed marsh.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky above, covering the cat and dog combo.
"What has come again this time?"
Du ke looked up and saw a giant eagle falcon with a wingspan of at least seven meters swooping down towards the reed marsh.
"Just dealt with the Pig Dragon, and now an eagle falcon comes along, this is really something!"
Du ke clicked his tongue, and also heard a soft, seductive voice.
"Oh my, I just sensed a pure demonic aura, didn't expect it to be such a little kitten, this is really...interesting!"
As these words entered his ears, Du ke's eyes narrowed.
There was still something on the back of the eagle falcon. From its tone of voice, it was a demon!
