Translator: 549690339

Within the Wilderness, ferocious beasts are hard to hunt, and their blood is precious – one of the finest ingredients for body tempering.

Moreover, the stronger and more precious the beast’s bloodline, the better the effect of its blood in body tempering.

According to a friend of his living in a village, all boys reaching a certain age must undergo a medicine bath in his place. The blood of the ferocious beast, combined with several specific herbs, could yield enhancements in strength after soaking for a certain period of time.

Thus, they have developed into their current state, survived in the perpetually dangerous Wilderness, and passed on their lineage.

Old man Lin once tried to inquire about the recipe but was categorically denied by the other party.

Each ancient body-tempering formula is a long-standing tradition and one of the core treasures of the village, hardly ever revealed to the outside.

But no matter, without the prescription, soaking in the blood of the pure beast can still refine the flesh, merely with differing results in scale.

“Father, didn’t you say that the medicine bath is best taken when young? We have all grown big and strong now, will it still work?” Lin Zhuang said in a grumbling tone.

While speaking, he glanced at the Bronze Cauldron and assessed his own physique. The verdict was a very serious one: he probably couldn’t fit into the Cauldron.

“The effect is the same when you’re older, just not as good as when you were young,” Old man Lin grinned, pouring the crimson blood into the Big Pot, and then lit a fire underneath.

Flames roared and in the blink of an eye, the blood in the Giant Cauldron began to churn and steam.

Old man Lin tested the temperature, nodded his head, feeling it was about right, and signaled Lin Zhuang and the others to get in.

Although somewhat reluctant, since their patriarch had given the order, Lin Zhuang and the others had no choice but to obey.

Just as Lin Zhuang anticipated, the Giant Cauldron indeed couldn’t accommodate him; he could only soak half of his body.

The same went for Lin Chen.

“Father, isn’t the temperature a bit high? Are you sure this is a medicine bath, not a form of tyrannical abuse?!” Lin Chen gritted his teeth, his entire body having turned beet-red in just a short while.

“Nonsense, what do you know? Only in this way can you stimulate your old skin, and the medicinal effect can be better absorbed. Your old skin will be replaced by new skin, and your strength will be enhanced!” Old man Lin glanced at the Second Eldest Son of the Lin Family and said.

A silent night followed.

At dawn, the morning light reflected on the dewdrops on the weeds, creating a beautiful spectacle.

Jiang Hui woke up from his sleep, feeling refreshed.

Although he was a tree and seldom needed any rest, the habits ingrained over many years from his previous life weren’t easy to change.

He extended his senses, covering several kilometers around him.

Within this range, no movement could escape his perception.

Just then, Jiang Hui’s countenance subtly changed.

At the very edge of his perceptual range, an aura of mist, seemingly out of nowhere, had begun to pervade.

However, if it were an ordinary mist, it wouldn’t have mattered. But this mist was pitch black, like spilled ink. It surged and writhed, gushing out from the unknown depths, spreading around. Its vast, dark mass gave off a malicious and terrifying sensation.

Although its speed was not too fast, reaching him was just a matter of time.

Something big was about to happen in the Wilderness?

Caution rose in Jiang Hui’s heart.

The sudden appearance of this black mist was too unusual, too abrupt, making it difficult for him not to make associations.

However, he was currently unable to act. He could only watch from afar, even though the black mist was only a step away from him.

Fortunately, the speed of the black mist spread slower than he had anticipated, giving him ample time to warn the people of Liu Village.

Three days later.

The pervasive black mist had finally infiltrated the boundaries of Liu Village.

At the entrance of Liu Village.

The grand sun hung high in the sky, its early light shimmering like gold dust, bathing the people below…

Upon receiving Jiang Hui’s message, Old man Lin and the others had been waiting in formation for a long time.

They all held weapons. Particularly noteworthy were Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen, who had directly plucked the ivory tusks of the One-horned Elephant they had hunted some time ago. They might not be handy, but they carried an imposing air.

“Damn it, what the hell is that? It looks shady and doesn’t seem like anything good,” Lin Zhuang said, his fierce gaze and imposing aura made him look like a ferocious beast.

Although he hadn’t yet mastered the Treasured Technique, his physical prowess was evident. Even those who had just learned the technique would be far less formidable than him.

“The elder brother is right!” The Second Brother of Lin Family, Lin Chen, had an astonishing aura as well. His eyes shone brightly. The rugged ivory tusk was placed on his shoulder, adding to his intimidating physique of about two meters, providing an aura of pressure.

He had been on the brink of collapse due to the damn Rune all these days and desperately needed an opportunity to vent.

Today, it finally arrived.

Around them, as the black mist grew closer, eerie, earsplitting growls started to emit faintly.

On top of that, Lin Zhuang and the others smelled a stinking odor, akin to rotting corpses.

“Everyone must be on their guard!” Old man Lin had a serious expression, warning everyone. The black mist was very strange and made him feel as if something would burst out of it at any moment.

Just as Old man Lin was deliberating, a few monster-like creatures of human size, with bodies pitch black and mouths full of blood-red fangs, actually burst out from the black mist.

The monsters had bloody red eyes, akin to scattered glow-worms in the night. In less than a moment, hundreds of them had crawled out.

This sight had scared some of the younger and more timid ones who couldn’t help but cry out. But their screams were quickly drowned out by the roar of stick-like noises.

It was the two brutes, Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen.

They didn’t care about the monsters. They plunged their enormous ivory tusks into the thickest concentration of the creatures, and the force of their thrust alone killed several grotesque creatures with their gaping mouths.

Although these monsters looked frightening, they weren’t particularly powerful. Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen could easily smash a large swath of them with a single swing of their tusks.

The arrival of the black mist had been an imposing display of sound and fury, but it ultimately was mere bluster.

Jiang Hui had been prepared to intervene, but upon seeing that the creatures in the black mist did not pose any real danger, he abandoned the idea.

For the people of Liu Village, these monsters were just right. They were an excellent opportunity for physical training and for enhancing their combat experience.

But just because Liu Village could handle it with ease, didn’t mean that the other settlements could.

If what Old man Lin said was true, in the Wilderness, tribes like his old one were scattered about like stars in the sky, innumerable. Some small tribes often had no Sacrificial Spirit to protect them….
