In an instant, a huge wound appeared on the giant black shadow.
As the wound spread continuously, the black shadow was torn into countless pieces.
The moonlight once again shone on the Mount God of Heaven.
The soul pressure that shocked countless living beings also instantly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
The jade butterfly felt the moonlight shining. Her pair of compound eyes also blossomed with a beautiful light.
The two translucent antennae flapped gently along with the wings, as if they were happy for Jiang Yun.
“Ding! Demon statue was destroyed. Obtained 10 experience points.”
“Are you sure? Didn’t the system take into account that huge shadow?”
“All right, turn all experience points into halo points and expand my halo!” Jiang Yun said loudly.
Although these exp fell short of expectations, it’s better than nothing.
“Current halo range: 80 feet (radius)”
Looking at the range, Jiang Yun was a bit speechless.
Moreover, when he was fighting with the demon phantom, he directly teleported to the outer edge of the halo.
However, the halo didn’t move with him.
In other words, the aura unfolded around the location where he first activated it, then fixed in size and would not move with him.
So, his halo was a fixed halo?
What kind of protagonist’s halo was this?
This meant that if he didn’t want to die young, he must never leave the heavenly mountain.
Unless his halo expanded again, increasing its coverage.
However, Each quest only gave him this many experience points.
How long would it take to cover the entire Mount God of Heaven? Not to mention Yanzhou and the Divine Ao Mainland.
Jiang Yun returned to the wooden house. He was originally already in a bad mood.
When he returned home, he felt that such a shabby house did not fit his status.
With a thought, in the next second, the short tree and rattan chair in the courtyard were moved away.
The house in front of him began to shake. It was dismantled into wooden stakes and boards.
All the objects seemed to be unaffected by gravity and floated in the air in an orderly manner.
Jiang Yun’s eyes turned to the lush trees on the back hill. The trees rose from the ground and turned into thick beams in the air.
Then, the surroundings began to shake.
The rocks on the mountain formed four walls, which centered on Jiang Yun and outlined the courtyard.
With a wave of his hand, the nearby bluestone slabs were shattered and reshaped in the air, then transformed into neat tiles.
Alright, all the materials were here.
Jiang Yun thought.
All the materials floating in the air seemed to have been manipulated by a pair of invisible, skillful hands. They pulled each other and connected together.
“Boom!”
Finally, an ancient and simple courtyard appeared in front of Jiang Yun.
Looking at this courtyard, Jiang Yun felt a little emotional. In the past, when the old man was still here, he had said that he wanted to build a courtyard like this. Unfortunately, it was still unfinished when he left.
Opening the front door, he felt a cool breeze. Looking at the empty courtyard, Jiang Yun felt a sense of loneliness.
Suddenly, Jiang Yun felt an itch on his cheek.
He turned his head and saw the jade butterfly gently stroking him with its tentacles.
“Little guy, are you comforting me?”
Jiang Yun asked gently.
In fact, he was only thinking about the house just now. He didn’t expect the jade butterfly to be on his shoulder.
Feeling Jiang Yun’s calmness, the jade butterfly danced around him happily.
“Little guy, do you want to follow me?” Seeing that the jade butterfly was willing to get close to him, Jiang Yun was also delighted.
The jade butterfly was originally just a little bug that he used to test his abilities. He did not take this matter to heart.
However, living alone was really boring. Moreover, the jade butterfly seemed to have a special ability to sense emotions.
Sensing Jiang Yun’s thoughts, the jade butterfly’s whirling dance became even more vigorous.
“Okay, I’ll call you Jade from now on!”
The jade butterfly stopped in mid-air, as if it was thinking about the meaning of this name. Then, it gently landed on Jiang Yun’s shoulder. Its crystal-clear antennae gently swayed, indicating that it was very satisfied with this name.
“Well, it’s been a hard night. I should have a good sleep.”
Jiang Yun waved his hand again. The short tree and the rattan chair flew back and landed in the courtyard.
Lying comfortably on the rattan chair, he was about to fall asleep.
However, in Jiang Yun’s perception, Jade had been staring at him, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
With someone watching him while he was sleeping, although Jade wasn’t a human, it was extremely creepy!
Suddenly, Jiang Yun had an idea. He was going to find a companion for Jade.
With this idea, Jiang Yun gently stroked the short tree.
In the next second, countless amounts of heaven and earth spiritual energy surged towards the short tree like a tidal wave.
The three-meter-tall short tree seemed to have been stimulated and it grew up crazily. In a few breaths, it had grown into a ten-meter tall tree. The tree was filled with fiery red dates.
“You can be considered a magical beast now. You shall be called Red Date!”
Hearing that it had a name, the big date tree happily raised its branches. Dozens of fiery red dates fell to the ground.
Under the control of Jiang Yun’s will, they all fell into a bamboo basket. He grabbed two from the air and threw one to Jade.
A man and a butterfly, were savoring the dates with relish.
He remembered that the old man had said that the prerequisite to becoming a magical beast was to have basic intelligence.
Therefore, magical beasts were called magical “beasts” because most of them were animals.
Very few magical beasts were insects and plants.
It was already difficult for ordinary life to evolve into magical beasts, while short-lived insects and plants that were hard to develop intelligence had a much lower chance of becoming magical beasts than other species.
However, with the help of Jiang Yun’s second halo, they had directly started an incredible bloodline evolution.
They had already formed magic core in their bodies, which meant that they were no longer ordinary creatures. Jiang Yun estimated that they were probably the only jade butterfly and red date tree in this world that had become magical beasts.
It wasn’t that he had never seen other magical beasts before. When his master had first brought him to hunt for rabbit, he had seen a black-furred wild boar on a hillside.
At that time, his master had wanted to have a feast on a whim, so his master had used a long spear to stab the wild boar’s buttocks.
The spear pierced just into the a**hole and the boar went crazy at once. It rampaged around, knocking down many trees and finally fainted under a big one.
At the time, they thought they had killed it. However, when the spear was pulled out, the boar woke up immediately. Its black fur was sticking straight up, and its eyes were red as it went berserk. At the same time, it advanced into a grade one magical beast.
In the end, the two of them almost wet themselves after being chased by this magical beast.
Since then, he no longer trust the old man.
Thinking about it now, Jiang Yun could not help but laugh.
