Chapter 10 Xuan Diao's Child-Raising Life Before the Age of Eight (10)
After half a month of training, the little guy has been able to hunt the weaker second-level monsters on his own.
One night, as usual, the little guy was preparing to go back to the cave after training with second-level monsters, but she encountered a group of unexpected visitors in the forest. They were humans like her.
This is the first time the little guy has met someone. He used to be accompanied by Xuan Diao. Every time Xuan Diao would secretly go around to avoid meeting humans. Now Xuan Diao is not here, but humans rarely enter this forest in winter.
To be able to meet a little guy in such a big forest, I have to say, is a kind of fate.
The little guy was a little curious, so he hid in the dark and secretly observed these human races.
These humans stand and walk on two legs. They look very tall. They are wearing clothes of unknown material. They look soft but also very strong. They have a belt around their waist and many small ones.
There are various weapons on the cloth bag, and many people have scars on their exposed skin, which are the marks left by years of fighting with monsters.
Did they come to the forest to hunt monsters?
The little guy's guess was correct. This group of people is a group of mercenaries who operate outside the Forest of Beasts all year round. Their usual tasks require them to go to the forest to hunt certain monsters or collect certain herbs.
Or capture some kind of monster alive and use it as a contract beast.
There are more than ten people in the camp, all of them are men. It's not that there are no women as mercenaries, but they are a bit rare and not often seen. The ones with the lowest cultivation level are probably in the early stage of foundation building, and the ones with the highest cultivation level are in the late stage of Jindan.
Look.
At this time, several middle-aged men were chatting around the fire in the camp.
"Tsk, it's so damn cold this winter."
"No, let's warm up your body now, so as not to wake me up from the cold again in the middle of the night."
"It's okay, it's not that cold when I use the spiritual energy at night."
"Stop talking sarcastically to me. If I had fire roots like you, I would still be warm at night."
"Hey, do you want to come over tonight and have some heat?"
"Go away, what does it look like for two grown men to squeeze together? If you want to sleep, it's better to sleep with a woman with a delicate body."
"Hahaha, where can I find a woman for you in this wilderness? I can just find you a female beast general."
"Go, go, go, I'm not that horny yet."
"Ha ha ha ha."
"By the way, have you heard that the eldest prince just arrived at Jindan Dzogchen a few days ago, and he will take part in the Preaching Academy examination in the spring."
"Really or not? He is only ten years old, right?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this kind of God chasing after God to feed you is not comparable to our kind chasing God to beg for food."
"No, the eldest prince had already built the foundation in five months. Looking at the entire continent, who can find the second one?"
"I think there might be the eldest lady of the Sun family in Yunyang."
"Come on, let's just say that the eldest lady also spent six months building the foundation. It was a full month short of that."
"Then we have to look at the future. Maybe her cultivation will surpass that of the eldest prince later?"
"Humph, it's just a girl movie..."
"Yes, yes, my eldest lady is only five years old and already in the late stage of foundation building. I'm afraid you were still playing in the mud when you were five years old."
"Hey, things are different like these God's darlings. Not only are they talented, but their family background is also good. Unlike us, we have to worry about eating every day."
"Hey, yo, what you said makes me really sad."
"Hahaha."
"..."
The little guy didn't listen to what was said later. It was already getting late. If it were later, Xuan Diao would be worried.
Anyway, I can’t understand what they are talking about. The human race probably likes to talk a lot.
The little guy left quietly and quickly rushed back to the cave.
"Zhizhi?" Xuan Diao asked as he looked at the little guy who hurried back.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak." The little guy saw the pieces of meat that Xuan Diao left for her, and skillfully gathered the flames to roast the meat.
"Squeak?" Xuan Diao narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak." The little guy didn't care much and stuffed the roasted meat slices into his mouth. After eating, he used the water stored in the cave to clean the stains on his body.
A gust of wind blew and it was a bit cold, so the little guy gathered the fire spirit energy in the cave to ward off the cold.
The black mink has grown in size, and its previously sparse hair has grown back, becoming as soft and beautiful as before.
The little guy leaned on Xuan Diao and relaxed his body.
"Zhizhizhi."
Hearing Xuan Diao say that he wanted to go back to the tree cave, the little guy was not surprised. In the past half month, Xuan Diao's injury has almost healed, and living in a tree cave is indeed more comfortable than living in a cave, so he nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, one man and one marten returned to the previous tree hole. There was still a thirty-foot-deep hole half a kilometer away from the tree hole. There was a mutilated body in it, and there was no trace of the meerkat elephant.
He must have left long ago.
Ignoring the traces left by the battle and tidying up the tree hole again, Black Marten continued to laze around, oh no, recuperating, and the little guy went to the outer reaches of the forest to hunt and train.
The bloodline pressure spread out again, covering the territory belonging to Xuan Diao.
The days went on as usual, and winter slowly passed. As the little guy's activities in the periphery became larger and larger, he met several human races, but they all stayed away from each other, and there was no intersection.
Two years later, the forest is still the same as before, seemingly peaceful but full of dangers, with fighting everywhere, all for survival.
After another two years of training and countless battles with monsters, the second-level monsters no longer pose a threat to the little guy. Even the third-order monsters can be taken down by the little guy with sneak attacks.
Taking today's prey back to the tree hole, the black marten was lying on the thick and raised roots in front of the tree hole, basking in the sun. The whole mink was lazily.
The little guy has become accustomed to it and takes the initiative to handle the prey he brings back.
Everything is the same as before, well... the environment around the tree hole is still a little different.
The big hole left two years ago was filled with rainwater, forming a medium-sized pool. The little guy would throw some aquatic plants into the pool from time to time. Now there are many unknown plants that survived under the water, which are the most beautiful.
Those are the purple lotus flowers in the middle of the pool.
The previously charred land was covered with green grass again, and there was a path leading to the river that was not blocked by tall trees. It was knocked out by the crazy meerkat elephants. The fallen trees were buried by lush bushes.
The tree trunks slowly corrode and disintegrate and return to the earth.
There is more life around the tree hole.
"Zhizhi."
After the little guy finished roasting the meat, he asked Xuan Diao to come down for lunch.
Xuan Diao stretched out, jumped down, picked up the piece of meat and wolfed it down.
The life was simple and peaceful, and there was actually a bit of the peaceful fireworks of the years in this forest.
However, the days of one person and one mink will not last long, and will soon be broken. This chapter has been completed!
