"Ugh!"
Luo Qingyi lay on the ground, her face pale and trembling uncontrollably, as she vomited up the wolf meat she had just managed to swallow.
Even though she wanted to eat it, her body's strong aversion forced her to spit out the demon wolf meat.
Luo Qingyi understood that she was now in such a state that she couldn't even control her own body.
She was on the brink of death, starving to death.
Luo Qingyi leaned weakly against the massive wooden pillar, her eyes dazed.
Who would have thought that a cultivator could actually starve to death?
Sorry, Master, Qingyi...
Boom!
A huge fiery object fell right in front of her, causing the ground to shake a few times.
Luo Qingyi's thoughts were immediately interrupted, and before her appeared a massive claw limb of an unknown demonic beast.
"This, this is..."
Luo Qingyi gazed up at the enormous red claw limb, her heart filled with indescribable shock.
What kind of demonic beast had such a gigantic claw limb, making her seem like an ant in comparison?
And this was just a claw limb. If the demonic beast were alive...
A Divine Transformation demon?
Luo Qingyi shivered; even two demon wolves could have ended her life in the Great Wildlands. She couldn't even imagine how terrifying the original beast of this claw limb must have been.
"Eat..."
Suddenly, a voice echoed in her mind. Luo Qingyi quickly looked around but saw nothing.
But she understood now, the senior who saved her had been watching her all along.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Luo Qingyi was too hungry, and the terrifying giant claw in front of her emitted an indescribable aroma, constantly tantalizing her taste buds.
Clearly, after slaying this great demon, the senior even took the time to cook it.
The image of the unknown senior in her mind grew even more profound.
Just by smelling the aroma, Luo Qingyi felt a surge of strength. It wasn't an illusion; the scent of the beast's claw was indeed filled with spiritual qi, and her body, like a dried-up sponge, absorbed it continuously.
Luo Qingyi approached the claw limb. Even though the beast was dead, she could still feel its terrifying pressure.
It was unimaginable how terrifying the beast was in life, and how magnificent the senior who slew it must be.
But soon, Luo Qingyi realized something was wrong.
How was she supposed to eat it?
Looking at the massive claw limb, Luo Qingyi tentatively drew her flying sword and used all her strength to cut it.
However, all she heard was the sound of metal clashing, and her flying sword now had a notch, while the claw limb didn't even have a scratch.
Unwilling to give up, Luo Qingyi tried again with her flying sword.
This time, the flying sword snapped, yet the claw limb remained unscathed.
Luo Qingyi looked at her flying sword in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes.
Their sect wasn't wealthy, and this flying sword was painstakingly crafted by her master.
Meanwhile, Heyu watched with great interest as the little sprite hacked away at the lobster claw.
Tsk tsk tsk, those eight hundred bucks were well spent. Look at that little sprite's expression, as if truly aggrieved.
So lifelike, so realistic.
Thinking it over, Heyu decided to pry open the claw and see how the little sprite would react.
"Step back."
Luo Qingyi, still mourning her flying sword, heard the voice again and quickly stepped back, then looked around earnestly.
At the very least, she wanted to see what the senior looked like.
"Hmm?"
Luo Qingyi looked around but still saw nothing. Just as she was puzzled, the sky seemed to darken a bit.

She thought of something and quickly looked up, only to see a giant golden hand descending from the sky, effortlessly grasping the beast's claw limb.
With a gentle squeeze, the terrifying claw limb made a crisp sound and then cracked open.
The golden giant hand slowly disappeared into the sky.
Luo Qingyi clutched her chest tightly, rubbed her eyes, and quickly looked up.
There was nothing in the sky.
"Eat."
"Uh..." Hearing that familiar voice, Luo Qingyi's mind was in chaos.
She had thought the senior was powerful, but seeing the senior in action, she realized she couldn't comprehend such methods.
How could she, of all people, be saved by such a powerful being?
Luo Qingyi carefully recalled her past, confirming that she couldn't possibly know such a powerful figure.
Thinking it over, Luo Qingyi closed her eyes and then opened them, her gaze suddenly much clearer.
She gave up thinking about it.
Approaching the claw limb, with its shell cracked, the white, snowflake-like meat inside was exposed, and the aroma was even more overwhelming.
Luo Qingyi couldn't resist any longer and began to eat without regard for her image.
As she ate, tears streamed down her face.
How could it be so delicious...
Heyu watched Luo Qingyi devour the food so ravenously, and his own appetite improved significantly.
But honestly, the claw of this shrimp was really hard. If it hadn't been processed beforehand, he might not have been able to crack it open.
But then, Heyu noticed something was wrong.
Wait, wasn't there less shrimp meat inside the claw?
Heyu wiped his eyes, picked up the magnifying lens again, and although it was small, the shrimp meat inside had indeed been eaten into a small pit by the little sprite.
How could a projection cause a real object to disappear?
Heyu's hair stood on end.
Could it be?
Heyu looked at the two toothpicks, which were covered in demon wolf blood.
No, no, this is too absurd.
Heyu shook his head repeatedly, but at that moment, the little sprite exerted force and tore off a piece of lobster meat, holding it in its hand.
This couldn't be explained by a projection!
Heyu looked at the lunchbox in his hand with confusion, searching carefully.
There were no mushrooms either.
Could it be that my cancer cells have metastasized to my brain, causing hallucinations?
Rather than believing the little sprite was real, Heyu preferred to imagine that there was something wrong with his mind.
Watching the little sprite in the glass case eat happily, Heyu rubbed his head and decided to conduct a simple experiment to test his theory.
Watching the girl eat so ravenously, Heyu decided to wait until she finished before experimenting.
Heyu began to observe the surrounding environment.
He found that the scenery inside the glass case was always centered around the girl, and he couldn't see further away, as it was all misty-grey, like a fog of war.
Heyu estimated that from the little sprite's perspective, he could only see things within a three-hundred-meter radius.
"Hmm?"
While Heyu was studying, he suddenly noticed the ground was wriggling.
Something seemed to be approaching the girl from underground.
"Watch out!"
Heyu hurriedly warned.
Half-full, Luo Qingyi instinctively gripped the broken sword in her hand, vigilantly scanning her surroundings.
In the distance, yellow sand filled the sky, and something was rapidly approaching her.
