The others also became anxious when they saw Qingfeng Li's facial expression. They hid behind Qingfeng Li, not daring to make a move.

 Shoo!

 A black shadow shot out of the gra.s.s toward Qingfeng's head.

 This black shadow was too fast for them to react, moving like a black lightning bolt.

 When the black shadow reached the front of Qingfeng Li's head, it opened its mouth and let out a creepy smirk, showing its sharp fangs and preparing to bite Qingfeng Li.

 Qingfeng Li sneered and opened his mouth, running his spirit energy and performed the 'Sky Shaking Roar,' the first move of Lion Roar.

 A powerful spiritual lion showed up above Qingfeng Li's head.

 The lion was conjured from spirit energy rushed toward the black shadow, making it tremble with fear. The shadow fell on the ground and died.

 Qingfeng Li looked over and found that the shadow killed by Lion Roar was a rat.

 Yeah, right, a rat.

 "A black demonic rat? It's a black demonic rat!" Seeing the rat on the ground, Black Puppy was shocked.

 Seeing Black Puppy's look, Qingfeng Li asked, "Puppy, are black demonic rats that terrifying?"

 Black Puppy nodded and said, "They are very powerful demonic beasts on the first level of h.e.l.l. They are good at spiritual attacks and like consuming the spirit energy of self-cultivators."

 Alice pouted on the side and said, "Puppy, are they that powerful? I saw Qingfeng Li kill it pretty easily."

 Black Puppy turned stern and said in a low voice, "One black demonic rat is not terrifying, but they usually come in groups. Once one is killed, ten, a hundred, a thousand, even ten thousand more will show up. Then how do we deal with them?"

Hearing Black Puppy's words, Qingfeng Li was stunned. He knew they were facing a crisis. He could kill one black demonic rat but had no solution for thousands of them.

 Moreover, many of the rest didn't have strong spiritual energy. They were definitely no match for the black demonic rats.

 "Let's get out of here," Qingfeng Li waved his hand and said to the others.

 But at the next moment, the Spiritual Millstone in Qingfeng Li's mind suddenly generated a desire to swallow the black demonic rat.

 Qingfeng Li stepped back after two paces and directly walked toward the black demonic rat.

 Shoo!

 The Spiritual Millstone showed up from the depth of Qingfeng Li's mind, floating over the head of the black demonic rat, shaped like a white and black whirlpool. It was half white and half black, resembling the Tai Chi symbol.

 The whirlpool turned into an 'S' shape, s.h.i.+ning a weird light and shrouding the black demonic rat.

 At the next moment, the remaining spirit energy in the dead black demonic rat was absorbed by the white-black whirlpool and returned into Qingfeng Li's mind.

 Qingfeng Li felt his spirit energy increasing rapidly, to the peak of the heavenly level.

 The cultivation of spirit energy was just like that of vital essence, with different levels including the spirit level, earthly level, heavenly level, king level, emperor level…

 Qingfeng Li's spirit energy was only at the heavenly level, but after swallowing only one black demonic rat, it increased to the peak of the heavenly level, which made him very delighted.

 The cultivation of spirit energy was much harder than vital essence.

Though Qingfeng Li had the Spiritual Millstone in his mind, he didn't have any spiritual elixirs. He was also not a self-cultivator in unorthodox, who could consume the spirit energy of others, so, he improved very slowly.

 But today, Qingfeng Li's spirit energy increased after the Spiritual Millstone swallowed the power of the black demonic rat.

 Of course, most of the spirit energy of black demonic rat was stored in the Black-white Millstone, and Qingfeng Li only absorbed a small amount of it.

Qingfeng Li stood right there with a touch of delight in his eyes. He felt like these black demonic rats were just giving spirit energy to him.

 "Boss, why don't you move?" Daoist asked Qingfeng Li in confusion.

 Daoist understood the horror of these black demonic rats from listening to Black Puppy just now.

 But unexpectedly, Qingfeng Li remained immobile. What if the black demonic rats showed up in groups?

 Qingfeng Li understood Daoist's worries. He shook his hands and said, "Don't worry, I'll destroy them if black demonic rats showed up."

 Daoist and even Black Puppy felt pretty speechless after seeing Qingfeng Li this confident.

 Black Puppy mumbled to himself, "Your Master Dog is arrogant enough. But even I dare not to face groups of black demonic rats. You are just a master in the Spirit King Realm several levels lower than me. How dare you to look down on black demonic rats?"

 Sssss…

 At that moment, some noises came over.

Hearing this noise, Black Puppy turned anxious and said, "d.a.m.n, the black demonic rats are approaching. Let's run."

 But Qingfeng Li shook his head and said, "No rush. Let's wait and see."

 "Qingfeng Li, don't you know that the black demonic rats are extremely powerful and good at spiritual attacks? Even I am no opponent to them," Black Puppy said anxiously.

 Though Black Puppy was powerful, with some memories and powers of his past life reawakened, he hadn't yet awakened the spiritual power of his past life, so, he was very afraid of these black demonic rats.

The others around were also shocked. They didn't understand why Qingfeng Li was still staying here carelessly when the black demonic rats were approaching.

 Women feared rats the most. Flower Fairy looked awfully pale. She said, "Brother Li, these black demonic rats are horrible; why don't we run away?"

 Seeing the others afraid of black demonic rats, Qingfeng Li smiled slightly and said, "If you guys trust me, just stand behind me. I'll handle this."

 Qingfeng Li was quite determined and confident, which gave the rest some courage.

 These people had followed Qingfeng Li for a long time. They knew he wouldn't lie and joke when it concerned their lives. He must have a method if he was this confident.

 The Wolf Fang Team stepped up first and stood behind Qingfeng Li. They had known Qingfeng Li longest and believed their boss could deal with these black demonic rats.

 Then Flower Fairy, Xianzhi Qin, Ziyue Jiang, and the others also walked behind of Qingfeng Li.

Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake didn't step back. They were both ancestors of demonic beasts and were now in the half-step Spirit Emperor Realm. Just for their dignity, they couldn't retreat.
