After calming himself down, Lin Shen continued forward.

Along the way, the demons he encountered were left to the two paper soldiers. He would only attack when an Ascension Stage demon appeared.

Because they were still on the periphery of the Great Swamp of the West, they did not encounter any Enlightening Stage demons along the way. The most capable ones were a couple of late-phase Ascension Stage demons.

What disappointed Lin Shen was that he did not find many natural treasures along the way.

“As expected, the density of the spiritual essence matters. The Great Swamp of the West doesn’t have as many treasures as the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range.”

Lin Shen had already expected this. He quickly composed himself and continued on his way.

Because he had been hunting spiritual beasts along the way, he didn’t cover much distance. He only walked more than 10km when it was dark.

Seeing that the night had set in, Lin Shen knew it was not suitable to travel anymore, so he found a reef island. After wiping out the demons on the island, he took over the nest and used it as his place to spend the night.

There were quite a lot of dry rations in his Interspatial Ring. Even if he did not cook anything, he could still fill his stomach.

However, Lin Shen did not intend to make himself suffer. Moreover, this was not the depths of the Great Swamp, so he was not afraid of attracting the attention of the demon cultivators. Therefore, he soon started a fire and prepared to cook some hot food.

At the same time, the clone two miles away suddenly disappeared and was recalled by Lin Shen. He planned to summon it tomorrow to avoid wasting his spiritual essence.

Not long after.

The food in the pot boiled, and the fragrance spread far and wide.

Ai lay on Lin Shen’s knee and stared at the food in the pot, almost drooling.

While cooking, Lin Shen took the time to look at the interface.

After a day of training, the Seven Arts Sword Energy, Lightning Palm, and Paper Man Movement Technique had all improved to varying degrees.

Among them, the Paper Man Movement Technique improved the fastest, increasing by 38%.

The Seven Arts Sword Energy improved the least, only 8%, but his stage progress had already reached 95%. As long as he triggered the talent effect again, he would be able to break through to the second level.

In terms of martial arts, although the talent effects weren’t triggered many times because the techniques were used less, the techniques were also at low levels. After a few times, three new martial arts had reached Proficient, and one had even reached Mastery.

At this rate, he should be able to reach Perfection in all of them tomorrow.

At the same time, the clones in his mind were also constantly comprehending new martial techniques.

Lin Shen estimated that after this trip to the Great Swamp of the West, Meltdown should be able to break through to the Path stage.

“The power of a Path-stage martial technique is comparable to a spell technique. I wonder how powerful it will be above that?”

Lin Shen grew excited.

He had gone to the academy’s library to investigate, but unfortunately, he could not find any information about the martial techniques after Path. There was even very little information about Path-stage martial techniques.

“Perhaps I can ask Senior Brother Xie and the others for guidance.” Lin Shen thought of Xie Jingsheng and Mu Chuanhua.

Back then, information about the Path-stage martial techniques also came from these two people.

Perhaps they knew something.

Just as he was thinking, Lin Shen’s expression suddenly changed. He looked up at the shore of the reef island.

It was dark there, and he couldn’t see anything clearly at all. However, with the help of Lin Shen’s mental power, he could clearly sense that some creature was quietly watching him in the darkness.

Lin Shen narrowed his eyes, and a talisman sword appeared in his palm.

Soon, Ai also sensed the arrival of an uninvited guest. She immediately jumped onto Lin Shen’s shoulder.

After realizing that it had been exposed, the creature finally stopped hiding and slowly walked out of the darkness.

The flickering flames quickly shone on the creature. It was a fox!

The fox had flaming red fur from head to toe without a spec of another color. One could vaguely see that it was smooth and supple before, but now it was covered in dust and mud. There were also many dark red bloodstains that had dried up. It looked very miserable.

Lin Shen couldn’t help but be stunned.

This was the Great Swamp of the West. How could there be a fox here?

The Dragon Abyss Mountain Range was a more suitable place.

No matter what, an ordinary fox would never appear in such a place at this time. It was undoubtedly a spirit fox.

Lin Shen raised his spiritual essence and became vigilant.

After the red fox took a few steps forward, it stopped at the edge of the firelight’s range. It could let Lin Shen see its face clearly, but it would not move too close to alarm him.

After that, the red fox looked at the food in the pot, and a trace of desire flashed in its lively eyes.

After a moment of silence, Lin Shen took out a pottery bowl and scooped a bowl of food from the pot. He threw out the bowl, which landed lightly in front of the red fox without spilling a drop.

“Eat,” Lin Shen said.

The red fox glanced at him, and a human-like look of gratitude flashed in its eyes. It lowered its head and quietly ate the food.

Even though the fox was obviously very hungry, the red fox was still eating calmly. It was as elegant as a young lady from a wealthy family, giving people a pleasant feeling.

A moment later, the red fox, who had finished eating, picked up the pottery bowl and placed it a few meters away from Lin Shen. It nodded at him slightly, then jumped into the night and disappeared.

“What a strange fox,” Ai mumbled.

“From the looks of it, it should be a spiritual beast that accidentally entered the Great Swamp of the West,” Lin Shen said thoughtfully.

At this moment, Ai suddenly asked curiously,

“Lin Shen, did you give that fox food because you wanted her to repay you with her body after she becomes a beauty?”

Lin Shen almost choked. “What nonsense have you been reading recently?”

“I didn’t. Sister Tang Mei told me. She said that men used to save spiritual beasts like white snakes or foxes. Then, the spiritual beasts cultivated successfully and returned to be their wives after taking human forms.”

Speaking of this, Ai looked at Lin Shen shyly and cupped her cheeks with her claws.

“Lin Shen, when you promised the general to take care of me, did you also want me to be your wife?”

Lin Shen made up his mind.. The next time he met Tang Mei, he would smack her on the head!
