55: Girl

“Humans?” Wei Xun frowned upon hearing Poison Fang’s words.

When he was still a Yao Beast, he had encountered humans before. If they were just ordinary people, it would be fine, but those who had Cultivated were not easy to deal with.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Wei Xun’s hesitation, Poison Fang couldn’t help but mock, “It looks like you’re scared?”

“What’s so good about eating humans!” Wei Xun, however, was nonchalant. “They don’t have much meat on them, and they’re hard to catch!”

“It seems you’ve never eaten human flesh!” Poison Fang wore a strange smile. “You can’t imagine the deliciousness of human flesh.”

“Forget it!” Wei Xun was still uninterested. “You also can’t imagine the taste of my roasted meat!”

Seeing Wei Xun unwilling to cooperate, the smile on Poison Fang’s face slowly disappeared. “Alright, since you’re unwilling to cooperate, I’ll go back to the mountain and find other Instructors. When I catch humans later, don’t you dare drool.”

“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!” Wei Xun didn’t want to participate. Although he was now a monster, his Soul was still human.

Therefore, eating humans was absolutely something Wei Xun could not do.

After Poison Fang left with his demon soldiers, Wei Xun scanned the little demons following him.

They all looked at him with eager eyes, as if they were all very interested in eating humans.

“Instructor!” At this moment, Horn walked over. “Humans are not common in our Black Abyss Mountain Range!”

“What?” Wei Xun listened to Horn’s meaning, and it seemed he had an idea.

“What I mean is, why don’t we go with that Instructor Poison Fang?” Horn asked doubtfully.

“Because I don’t want to provoke humans!” Wei Xun replied faintly, then his face darkened and he stopped speaking.

Seeing this, other little demons still wanted to come forward and persuade Wei Xun.

“If Dage says no, then it’s no!” Xiong Er immediately spoke up to stop them. “Don’t bring this up again!”

Seeing Xiong Er speak, the other little demons then abandoned the idea.

“The meat is ready!” Wei Xun handed the roasted meat from the fire to Xiong Er, then picked up a fresh hind leg to roast.

The other little demons also drooled at the sight. Although it seemed they wouldn’t be eating humans, being able to eat the roasted meat given by the Instructor was still good.

After eating their fill, Wei Xun led the little demons under him to continue wandering around in the Forest to the West.

Since the day’s target mission was already completed, he could just slack off for the remaining half-day and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.

After moving away from Black Tiger Mountain, the air in the surrounding Forest became much fresher. When Wei Xun got tired, he let the little demons find a Forest to rest and sleep, and he also prepared to find a comfortable spot to Cultivate.

For Wei Xun, the most important thing every day was to Cultivate and accumulate Cultivation progress, striving to Undergo Tribulation and achieve Immortal Ascension as soon as possible.

Compared to being a monster in this world, Wei Xun still wanted to return to the real world and be a human.

At least in the real world, he didn’t have to worry about encountering any danger, nor did he have to fight others to the death.

Most importantly, after he became a monster, all he saw were monsters.

These monsters were indeed too ugly. After seeing them for several months, Wei Xun was still a bit unaccustomed.

Just as Wei Xun found a comfortable large stone and was about to sit on it to Cultivate.

His keen senses suddenly heard movement in the distant Forest.

Using the Ten Mile Tracking Cultivation Technique, he sniffed in that direction, and Wei Xun immediately confirmed that humans had appeared there.

At this moment, in the Forest over there.

“Is there really Huang Ling Grass in this mountain?” A human girl of seventeen or eighteen in the Forest weakly asked a burly man beside her.

“Mm!” The man nodded. “Many pharmacists have collected it from this mountain before.”

“But…” The girl looked a bit nervous and scared, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. “But I heard there are many Yao Beasts and monsters in this mountain…”

“It’s fine!” The man, however, looked much calmer. “This is still very far from Demon Mountain, so the chance of encountering monsters is very small. If we encounter a Yao Beast, your Wang Dage can handle it.”

Hearing the man’s reassurance, the girl finally relaxed a little.

The man and the girl continuously searched various places in the Forest. They both carried bamboo baskets on their backs filled with various medicinal herbs.

“Xiao Ling!” The man called out to the girl. “Look, what kind of grass is this?”

The girl, called Xiao Ling, turned her head and saw that the man was holding a dark red root.

“This is Tuoluo Grass. When boiled with water and drunk, it can treat abdominal distension and aid digestion!” Xiao Ling slowly explained.

“Hehe!” The man immediately put the herb into the bamboo basket on his back after hearing this. “It seems bringing you to this mountain was a wise choice.”

“Alright, Wang Dage!” Xiao Ling sighed. “I just want to find Huang Ling Grass. I’m waiting to take it back to save a life.”

“Don’t worry!” The man patted his chest and said, “You provide the brains, I provide the strength. Let alone finding a few herbs, it’s not impossible to even find Spiritual Plants.”

After searching in the Forest for a while longer, Xiao Ling suddenly felt a little worried, so she turned to the man and said, “Wang Dage, are we too far from the group? Won’t it be unsafe like this?”

The man heard this, looked up at the surroundings and the way they came, then comforted her, “It’s fine, you won’t find anything good following that group of fools.”

But at this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the Forest, an unknown sound.

“Wang Dage!” Xiao Ling suddenly became nervous upon hearing this sound, constantly backing away. “I seem to hear some strange sound.”

“What sound?” Wang Dage pulled out an axe from his waist that looked like a wood-chopping axe.

“I don’t know!” Xiao Ling retreated behind Wang Dage, her eyes full of worry as she looked towards the Forest from which the sound came.

At this time, the man also heard the strange sound, and his right hand gripping the axe tightened on the axe handle.

Then, in the next second, a large spotted snake darted out from the Forest. Its tail also had strange sections, like bamboo shoots.

“Is this a Yao Beast?” Xiao Ling saw that the snake was seven or eight meters long and incredibly thick, clearly a Yao Beast.

“It seems so!” The man nodded and then shielded Xiao Ling behind him.

“What should we do?” Xiao Ling nervously gripped herself, trembling all over.

“Don’t worry!” The man, however, was much calmer. “Your Dage here has killed many Yao Beasts when he was young. It’s just a mere Demon Snake, I can handle it.”

The large spotted snake, seeing the two humans, flicked out a long, slender tongue from its crimson mouth, seemingly sensing the strength of the two humans.

After determining that there was no major problem, the Demon Snake suddenly coiled its body and then sprang out, opening its big mouth and biting towards the man.

“Run!” The man, seeing this, threw the axe in his hand towards the Demon Snake, then grabbed Xiao Ling’s hand and turned to run.
