After hearing Su Yang’s explanation, the group refrained from asking more questions.
Indeed, after a while, Doctor Liu emerged from the well.
“I thank you all for your help. If there’s anything you need from me, don’t hesitate to ask,” Doctor Liu bowed to Su Yang, speaking earnestly.
Perhaps due to Su Yang’s effortless help, Doctor Liu did not mention that he could only help them once. This implied that if they had more alchemical materials in the future, they could bring them here and request Doctor Liu’s assistance for refinement. However, it remained uncertain how many alchemical materials they could obtain in this world, and whether they would actually need them.
Next, they parted ways with Doctor Liu.
Cao Tianle and the others followed Su Yang to the final location of the clue.
After a few steps in the village, they arrived at the hunting team’s location near the village. When Su Yang and his group arrived, they faintly heard the complaints of the hunting team members.
“Now what do we do? Ever since that giant snake appeared on the mountain, almost all the larger game has been killed by the snake. The amount of game we catch each day is decreasing…”
“Sigh… Perhaps we’ll have to ask the village chief to bring someone in to deal with it. Otherwise, with the influence of that snake, the village’s food supply will continue to diminish…
Though the distance was a bit far, they could still hear the conversation of the hunting team members. After hearing these dialogues, Cao Tianle and the others were astonished. These conversations contained valuable information they hadn’t previously collected.
Could it be that they had visited at the wrong times before?
They certainly hadn’t come here near noon, having only performed a morning inspection. Their inspections merely involved checking for any anomalies and not initiating conversations.
Now it seemed that, despite their considerable strength in the outside world, their investigative skills were rather weak. Perhaps they were accustomed to gathering information through force, lacking the inclination for dialogue.
This might be why the celestial immortals of the Universal Mortal Realm went to the forbidden star zones for training before entering the Immortal Realms — an adaptation process for closed-loop worlds.
Now that they had clear clues, the next steps became quite simple.
After a brief conversation, they understood the situation.
A massive snake demon had appeared on the mountainside of White Radiance
Mountain. This snake demon occupied the mountainside, preying on many of White Radiance Mountain’s animals, causing a decline in the hunting team’s harvest, which was the source of their distress.
Through Su Yang’s investigation, they learned that this snake demon only appeared in the forest after noon, where it hunted until nightfall, after which it would return to its cave.
Su Yang pondered the situation. Since his karmic threads hadn’t multiplied, the snake demon had likely not appeared yet. It seemed they would have to wait until after the Level 3 Qi Cultivation boar demon arrived for the snake demon to make an appearance.
However, they were unsure of the snake demon’s strength. The hunting team’s role in the closed-loop world was simply to provide clues. The real help would come from defeating the snake demon. If they managed to hunt it, they would probably obtain something helpful, though they’d need to investigate further to know for sure.
At this point, Su Yang had explored all four of his unknown karmic threads. Now they only had to wait for the arrival of the revenge-seeking boar demon at noon.
Cao Tianle was now very excited. He felt there was a high chance that they could break this closed-loop world. Initially, he thought the team didn’t have enough members, so he brought in someone casually, but it turned out to be someone so powerful.
This was a great gain. If they continued to attack closed-loop worlds with Su Yang, wouldn’t they have an easy path to victory?
Although their ideas were hopeful, Su Yang couldn’t be expected to stay with them indefinitely. Currently, he was only familiarizing himself with the so-called closed-loop worlds.
After waiting for a while, in Su Yang’s eyes, a new karmic thread appeared. It appeared that the Level 3 Qi Cultivation boar demon had refreshed at this time. In other words, they could now go and find the injured Daoist and obtain the boar demon’s heartblood and demon core for alchemical purposes.
Upon their return to the injured Daoist, they successfully obtained one pill from him.
[Qi Cultivation Pill: Level 2] Status: Temporary Tier: First Tier, Four Attributes
Quality: Low Quality
Function: After consumption, it allows one to exhibit the power of Level 2 Qi Cultivation.
Restrictions: Usable within [Closed -Loop World: Surviving for One Day]
This time, they had only obtained one pill from the injured Daoist. Meaning, only one person among them could use this pill. It was clear who should use it now, even without any doubt.
After receiving the pill, Cao Tianle immediately handed it over to Su Yang.
“Su Daoist, you should use this pill. Your utilization will maximize the benefits.
This was something everyone could clearly see.
Leaving aside other factors, Su Yang’s ability to infinitely use magic at the same level wasn’t something they could provide. They weren’t sure if it was due to Su Yang’s physique or the special reasons of his cultivation technique, but that was not important..
