Impacted by the residual force, Black Hawk was sent flying more than a hundred feet backward. After regaining his footing, he stared warily at Yun Ying, ready to run away at any moment.
The third-tier demon beast already possessed extremely high intelligence, and if it were not Yun Ying's opponent, it naturally wouldn't linger on anything.
If it weren't for the irresistible allure of what was inside the cave, it would have run away long ago.
"interesting……"
Seeing that Black Hawk hadn't suffered much damage from her powerful attack, Yun Ying was slightly surprised. She smiled, leaped up, and thrust her spear across the sky, unleashing her signature spear technique, Wildfire Hundred Slashes!
The fiery spear intent stretched across the void, and the surrounding temperature began to rise sharply at this moment.
The spear's beams crisscrossed, transforming into streaks of light as it hurtled straight toward Black Hawk!
.....................
"Wow!"
Black Hawk let out a furious roar of extreme resentment, and its massive body began to plummet rapidly from a height of hundreds of feet, crashing straight onto the cliff.
The cliff collapsed and caved in, snapping the surrounding trees in half and sending up a cloud of flying sand and stones.
Jiang Che lightly leaped off the black eagle's corpse, took out the crystal core from the black eagle's body, and then used the Qiu Li Sword to pierce the black eagle's heart.
Once he was certain that the other person was definitely dead, Jiang Che quickly headed towards Yun Ying's location.
A moment later, when Jiang Che arrived, Yun Ying had already finished the battle and was looking down at the Black Eagle's corpse lying on the ground with the air of a victor.
The girl stood holding a gun, her hair disheveled, her face flushed, and her full chest rising and falling as she tried to calm her somewhat disordered breathing.
Unlike Jiang Che, who possessed top-tier movement skills, Yun Ying still had to exert considerable effort to kill this black eagle.

026: The proud twin ponytails, is Yunying afraid of the dark? (Please give flowers and add to your favorites)
After calming her somewhat disordered breathing, Yun Ying saw that Jiang Che was already heading in her direction. She used her flame gun to pry open the black eagle's abdomen, enveloped it in spiritual energy, and took out the crystal core inside.
After looking her over for a while, Yun Ying quickly lost interest and looked away.
The cultivation of demonic beasts is basically no different from that of human cultivators.
After a demon beast cultivates to the fourth level, a golden core, also known as a demon core, will form in its body.
Fourth-tier demonic beasts possess extremely high intelligence and can understand human speech; after reaching the fifth tier, they gain the ability to transform into human form.
Of course, if a demon beast's cultivation level is insufficient, it can also take a Transformation Pill to allow it to transform into human form ahead of time.
As for why monsters like to transform into human form?
Yun Ying also seemed to understand but not quite. She had heard her father say before that it was because human cultivators' bodies were naturally closer to spiritual energy, so their cultivation speed was faster than that of these demonic beasts.
With the same talent, human cultivators might be able to form a golden core in a hundred years, while demon beasts would need hundreds of years to mature. This can be considered a congenital deficiency of demon beasts.
Of course, the way of Heaven is always just.
To compensate for these shortcomings, the lifespan of demonic beasts is much longer than that of ordinary cultivators. For example, these two third-tier demonic beasts could easily live for a thousand years.
This is something that a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the human race would never be able to do.
………………
Here, take it!
When Jiang Che came closer, Yun Ying waved her hand, and the crystal core, radiating brilliant light, appeared in Jiang Che's hand.
Jiang Che needs to use these demon beast cores to exchange for points, which he can then use to enter the academy's scripture pavilion to obtain cultivation techniques, but she has absolutely no use for them.
After all, the martial arts techniques collected by the Yun family were enough for her to learn for a lifetime.
As for using the crystal cores of demonic beasts to cultivate and increase cultivation speed?
That's completely unnecessary, since she has never lacked high-grade spirit stones. Although the crystal cores of demonic beasts can also accelerate a cultivator's cultivation speed, they are slightly inferior to high-grade spirit stones.
The most important use of crystal cores is for refining weapons or alchemy.
Whether for crafting weapons or refining pills, monster cores are excellent materials.
"Then thank you very much, Senior Sister..."
Jiang Che did not refuse and gladly accepted, thanking Yun Ying in return.
Of course, he wouldn't let Yun Ying work for nothing. If there was any great opportunity after entering the cave, he would definitely share it equally with this proud girl with twin ponytails.
"Humph…"
"Anyway, this thing is useless to me, so I'll reluctantly give it to you!"
Hearing Jiang Che's thanks, Yun Ying was secretly delighted, but on the surface she put on an extremely arrogant tone.
Jiang Che just smiled and was about to say something when a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding, it has been detected that Yun Ying's acceptance of the host has reached 70%..."
"Do you want to copy the other party's entry?"
Jiang Che was slightly taken aback, and looked at the girl with pigtails in front of him with a strange expression, finding it amusing to himself.
What a proud and aloof twin tails!
Even though you have such a high level of self-confidence, you still maintain a nonchalant attitude on the surface.
"System, I want to copy the entry for 'Master Marksmanship'..."
Jiang Che silently thought to himself that he was still very envious of Yun Ying's entry.
"Ding, copy successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining [Master of Guns] (Purple)..."
In an instant, Jiang Che felt a surge of new insights into marksmanship, his mind cleared, and even the mental fatigue caused by the continuous battles vanished.
"Jiang Che, what's wrong?"
Yun Ying blinked her beautiful eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and looked at Jiang Che with some curiosity.
For some reason, at this moment, she felt that something was different between Jiang Che and her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
"nothing……"
"Let's go in and take a look..."
"After working so hard for so long, it's finally time to reap the rewards..."
Jiang Che gave a vague answer and did not explain further, then led Yun Ying directly towards the cave.
Upon entering, one is greeted by a pitch-black, deep and secluded path.
Jiang Che used his illumination technique, and with the appearance of white light, the situation in the cave improved considerably, no longer as dark as before.
Just as Jiang Che was about to take another step inside, he felt his arm suddenly being wrapped in something soft.
Turning his head, he saw that Yunying had grabbed his arm at some point and was nervously looking around at the situation with a wary look in her eyes.
The soft touch comes from the landscape of towering peaks and surging waves.
Are you afraid of the dark?
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and glanced at Yun Ying with some surprise.
I really didn't expect that this energetic, cute little girl would be afraid of the dark.
"Who...who's afraid?"
"I'm just afraid that you might suddenly get lost in such a dark place, and then where would I find you?"
"I did this to protect you!"
"Yes, that's right, that's it!"
Yun Ying comfortably found herself an excuse, her face full of arrogance, refusing to admit it, but she tightened her grip on Jiang Che's arm even more.
"Then you must protect me well, junior sister..."
Jiang Che chuckled, but didn't expose the arrogant twin-tailed girl, and walked straight into the cave.
Since he was the one who would experience the most discomfort anyway, Jiang Che naturally wouldn't refuse.

027: Xuan Yang Fruit! Yun Ying, excited (Seeking flowers and adding to favorites)
After walking a thousand steps and a quarter of an hour, the surrounding darkness gradually faded and light appeared. Jiang Che and Yun Ying arrived at the innermost space of the cave.
After entering, Jiang Che looked around at his surroundings.
The one emitting the light is a fruit filled with a dazzling, fiery red glow.
It's strange that plants can survive in such a pitch-black space without soil or water.
Thinking that this was a fantasy world where anything was possible, Jiang Che felt relieved.
Even birds and beasts can cultivate after gaining sentience, so isn't it perfectly normal for plants to flower and bear fruit without sunlight and water?
Jiang Che had only been here for a month at most, and his focus had been on cultivation, so he didn't recognize this fruit.
Yun Ying, standing to the side, had her eyes shining and her breathing becoming rapid. Her face was full of excitement, and the joy in her eyes was almost impossible to hide.
"Jiang Che...this...this is actually the Xuan Yang Fruit!"
"Our trip was definitely worthwhile!"
"We're incredibly lucky to find such rare and precious materials in just any cave!"
While excited, Yun Ying became even more curious about Jiang Che.
At first, Jiang Che confidently asserted that there must be some kind of opportunity inside the cave, and she was somewhat skeptical, thinking that Jiang Che was just making things up. But now that she has seen it with her own eyes, how could she not believe it?
So... what secret does this guy have that allows him to accurately guess the location of the Xuan Yang Fruit?
It should be noted that rare and precious materials like the Xuan Yang Fruit usually conceal their aura. Unless one is very close, even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would not be able to detect them.
Those two black eagles must have discovered the existence of this Xuan Yang Fruit by chance, which is why they have been guarding this place, waiting for the outcome.
