Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 273 The Unknown World

……

Somewhere in the endless void, there is an unknown world.

Jackdaws are crying, ancient trees are towering, and there is a village that is neither big nor small surrounded by mountains.

The low houses, the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs create a tranquility that is in harmony with nature.

"Brother, be careful on the road."

A little girl wearing coarse linen clothes and pigtails stared at him with her big, shiny black eyes. Her hair was a little dry and yellow, which was caused by long-term malnutrition. Her face was a little dirty, but you could vaguely tell from her eyebrows that she was a beauty.

Opposite her was a boy who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old. Although his face looked childish, he was actually muscular. Others who saw him would only call him a young man full of vigor and vitality.

"Nannan, remember to close the door at home. Don't open the door easily to anyone except me, okay?" The boy touched the little girl's head, then picked up the hunting bow beside him, hung up the machete, turned around and left.

"Oh, I see."

The little girl nodded obediently, watched her brother go away, and then closed the doors and windows.

"Uncle Dagen! Brother Shanquan..."

The young man walked quickly to the entrance of the village and saw a group of people who had gathered. He immediately smiled honestly and walked forward to greet them.

"Xiao An!" Seeing the young man coming, a smile appeared on Uncle Dagen's simple face and he patted Shang An on the shoulder.

After waiting for a while, a few people came.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's set off." Uncle Da Gen said to the group of people who were either holding spears and machetes or carrying hunting bows.

These people were generally tall and strong. Although the boy was strong, he was not tall, which made him look quite strange among them.

A group of people walked out of the village and headed towards the forest.

The young man walking in the middle of the team was sorting out his understanding of the world.

This is a brand new world. Shang An has been here for seven years. At the beginning, his spirit was born in a woman's belly and turned into a baby with a trace of essence and blood.

Before she had the chance to meet her adoptive parents, her mother died soon after due to complications during childbirth. She never even met her father, who might have died somewhere long ago, leaving behind only a sister who was her own son.

If it weren't for the help of the village chief, the two newborn babies would have had a hard time surviving, and if Shang An himself hadn't had an extraordinary physique and grew very fast, they would have grown into this appearance at the age of only seven, with strength beyond that of an ordinary adult, and were able to join the hunting team. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to survive.

Shang An doesn't know much about this world.

His memory has just awakened. Perhaps because of his reincarnation, he was involved in reincarnation, which made him experience the mystery of the womb for seven years. According to his previous memories, this world has extraordinary abilities and the villagers are more receptive, otherwise Shang An would definitely be regarded as a freak and burned to death.

However, Shang An did not understand the specific cultivation system, and there were no such things in the village. He only heard from the old people in the village that there were immortals outside the mountain, and even a fairy gate composed of immortals.

According to Shang An's hunting experience, he also learned that there are many powerful beasts in the depths of the mountains and forests. Some of the powerful ones can even swallow wind and spit out fog and easily destroy villages. Whenever Uncle Da Gen mentioned these beasts, he would show fear on his face, as if he had experienced something.

Fortunately, there are mostly ordinary wild beasts around the village, which are occasionally intelligent at most and do not pose too great a threat, otherwise there would be no hunting teams.

Well, according to Shang An's speculation, this should be related to the concentration of spiritual energy. The concentration of spiritual energy in the village and its surroundings is extremely low, which is really not suitable for cultivation. This is probably the reason why those powerful monsters look down on it.

Shang An had thought about leaving the village to look for those practitioners, or to practice in a place with richer spiritual energy. Unfortunately, the village was surrounded by dense forests, and no one knew if there were any powerful beasts. There were also no small towns nearby. The only way to learn about the outside world was through the caravans that came every three years to collect medicinal herbs.

So Shang An just held back for the time being and stayed in the village with peace of mind, while also trying to practice.

Although the cultivation systems are different, as long as there is spiritual energy in the world, these techniques are still unrestricted. Even if there is no spiritual energy, Shang An's "Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Sutra" can also be cultivated with the help of the emotions of all living beings, but due to the different rules, it may lead to some terrible heavenly tribulations when breaking through.

Of course, due to the thin spiritual energy and the simple nature of the villagers, the speed of cultivation is very slow.

It is worth mentioning that Shang An's physical talent is extremely strong, as if it is some kind of special physique. Shang An even suspects that the awakening of the physical body requires a lot of energy, which hinders his cultivation.

All we can say is that where there is gain there is loss. Without this powerful body, neither he nor Nannan would have been able to survive until now.

Suddenly, Shang An's ears moved slightly, there was movement!

"alert!"

Uncle Da Gen, who was standing at the front, shouted loudly and stared at the bushes in front. The people behind him were all veterans. They immediately and skillfully formed their positions, took out their weapons, and looked at the bushes in front vigilantly.

Shang An was also watching vigilantly.

A few green lights flashed from the grass, and several wolves nearly as tall as a person walked out of the grass and surrounded everyone. The fur of these wolves was silver-white and looked quite soft. Their ferocious faces were full of cruelty and greed. Their green wolf eyes stared straight at Shang An and others, as if they were looking at a delicious meal.

The leading wolf was of astonishing size, more than ten feet tall. Standing on the top of the pack, its ferocious aura was overwhelming, making people feel fearful.

"Oh no, it's a group of Nether Wolves and a wolf king." Uncle Dagen's face turned a little ugly.

Around the village, beasts of the size of the wolf king are definitely considered to be at the dominant level. They are rarely seen, and generally speaking, hunting teams will not easily provoke such terrifying beasts, because casualties may occur if they are not careful.

"Boys, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle today. Get ready. The Wolf King is in my hands."

Uncle Da Gen shouted and pulled out a long knife with a cold glow. A hint of sharpness flashed by, causing a trace of fear to flash across the wolf king's eyes.

According to Uncle Da Gen, this long sword was given to him by an "immortal" whom he rescued when he was young. It is extremely sharp and almost indestructible. Even hard rocks are like tofu in front of this long sword. It is definitely a magical weapon, and this is also the reason why Uncle Da Gen can firmly sit on the captain of the hunting team.

Shang An narrowed his eyes and looked at the vicious wolves.

In addition to the wolf king, there are seven ordinary wolves. Their hunting team has a total of twelve people including Uncle Da Gen.

They seem to have the advantage in numbers, but just looking at their size you can tell that they are actually at a disadvantage.

This battle is not easy to fight.

If it weren't for the fact that the physical fitness of ordinary people in this world was far superior to that of Earth, and if it weren't for the fact that each of these hunting teammates were strong men who could uproot weeping willows, there would be no need to fight against this group of abnormally large wolves.

"I'll deal with that wolf, and I'll leave the others to you." A dark-faced man said to a larger wolf with a spear in his hand.

He is Brother Shanquan mentioned by Shang An. He is also the second strongest person in the team after Uncle Dagen and the deputy captain of the hunting team.

As for the other people, there is not much difference in strength.

"Let me deal with that one, and the rest of you two can deal with one each." Shang An took the initiative and said as he looked at a smaller wolf.

"Xiao An, are you able to do it alone?" someone asked worriedly. Although Shang An was born with supernatural powers and was stronger than most of them, he was still too young after all. He had only been in the hunting team for a short time and lacked experience.

"We have to try it anyway." Shang An took out a machete and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Ouch!"

The wolf king was the first to lose control of himself. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he called the wolves to rush towards the crowd.

Uncle Da Gen went to meet the wolf king with a long knife, and the others also found opponents in various ways. Shang An stood in front of the wolf he had chosen before, staring at the thin wolf.

Of course, this thinness is in comparison with other vicious wolves. Compared with other wolves, it appears a little petite, three inches shorter, and also thinner, but its body size is still much more majestic than Shang An.

"Come here, you little puppy." Shang An hooked his finger and said provocatively.

"Roar!"

Provoked, the skinny wolf roared and rushed forward.

Dogs are not like cats, which mainly bite. The skinny wolf was extremely fast. It dodged and jumped towards Shang An's neck.

The neck is one of the weakest parts of the human body, and once bitten, it is absolutely fatal.

Shang An was not in a hurry, his eyes were as calm as a lake. Holding a machete, he took a half step back, his eyes focused, and when the moment came he swung the knife.

"Awoo~" the skinny wolf screamed, and a gap appeared in its mouth. Blood was dripping, revealing the bones inside, which looked very horrifying.

Feeling the pain, it looked at Shang An and dared not be careless anymore. It stepped back. It did not expect that this little guy was so powerful, different from its previous prey.

The skinny wolf stopped fighting and started to circle around Shang An by moving his limbs.

Shang An also felt his arms tremble slightly. The beast was very strong. If it weren't for his strong body, the machete would have slipped out of his hands.

After some negotiation, Shang An deliberately revealed a flaw.

A beast is a beast after all, and cannot tell the real from the fake. The skinny wolf used his skills to pounce on it again.

Shang An turned around and moved sideways, but the skinny wolf in the air had no time to turn around.

At this moment, its thin waist was completely exposed in front of Shang An, completely defenseless.

As the saying goes: a head of copper, bones of iron, and a waist of tofu. This refers to wolves. This is also true even in another world, at least it applies to these "ordinary" wild wolves.

Shang An seized the opportunity, bulged the muscles in his arms, and swung the machete violently. A flash of blade light passed by, and this ordinary machete found in the countryside was wielded by him with the momentum of a swordsman.

The warm liquid splashed on Shang An's face. The skinny wolf had already fallen to the ground. There was a big cut on its abdomen, and its colorful intestines were flowing out. Its limbs were still sliding, and it was obvious that it had no strength to fight anymore.

Wiping the blood off his face, Shang An looked coldly at the wailing skinny wolf. He swung the machete in his hand fiercely. With a flash of cold light, the machete pierced directly through the skinny wolf's neck and nailed it to the ground.

Seeing that the skinny wolf had completely died, Shang An finally felt relieved. He stepped forward, put away his machete, and watched the fight between other people on the field.

The situation was not good. Except for the wolf king on Uncle Dagen's side who was afraid of Uncle Dagen's long sword and did not dare to get close to him easily and had been fighting the whole time, everyone else was more or less injured. Among them, Brother Shanquan was the most seriously injured. The wolf he chose was the largest one except the wolf king, and was more than two meters tall.

Others also struggled.

Even though Shang An only used a few moves to kill the skinny wolf, he wasn't even injured.

That's because his vision, strength and control of timing are far beyond ordinary people, and he can do this by taking a little risk.

Shang An did not rush to intervene in other battlefields with a machete, but took out the longbow on his back.

Take out an arrow and put it on.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, he looked at the huge wolf king, constantly calculating the wind force and its movement trajectory.

Pull the bowstring to the full moon.

call out!
A sound of breaking air was heard, and as soon as the wolf king turned his head, a long sword shot into his pupil as if it had predicted it in advance, and pierced into his head for more than two feet.

Blood flowed out of the pupil, and the severe pain made the Wolf King scream. Looking at Shang An who was shooting the arrow, his one eye was filled with resentment.

Shang An's heart sank. Wolves really hold grudges. He must not let it get away. Otherwise, if this wolf turns out to be Lang Aotian, it would be terrible for him.

"good chance!"

Uncle Da Gen's eyes lit up, and he chopped at the wolf king without hesitation with a long knife in his hand.

The wolf king, who had just lost an eye, was completely aroused in his ferocity. He bared his teeth and fought with Uncle Da Gen again.

However, losing one of its eyes had a huge impact on it, limiting its vision and putting it at a disadvantage in the fight with Uncle Da Gen.

After a few more cuts appeared on its body, a trace of fear finally flashed in its eyes, and it actually had the intention to retreat.

This beast is smarter and more agile than other wolves.

But just as it made a feint and forced Uncle Da Gen to retreat, another arrow came from nowhere, so fast that it could not dodge it at all, and directly pierced its other wolf eye.

The blind wolf king realized that something was wrong, but he was obviously unable to adapt to the complete darkness and rushed around in panic.

Uncle Da Gen let out a sinister laugh, rushed to the side of the wolf king, and slashed the wolf king's waist with a long knife.

After succeeding in one blow, he quickly retreated, leaving the blind wolf king with nothing to bite, then changed his pace and rushed forward again.

Soon, the wolf king's body was covered with more than twenty cuts of varying depths and sizes. He was bleeding all over, and his golden and silver-white hair was dyed blood red. He fell to the ground with a thud, breathing out more than inhaling.

When the other wolves saw the wolf king defeated, they lost the will to fight and tried to escape, but they were shot one by one by the elusive arrows and turned into dead souls under the sword.

As for Shang An, apart from some people having some scars on their bodies, there was nothing serious.

"Good job, boy!"

Uncle Da Gen looked at Shang An holding a longbow like an archer god and laughed and exclaimed: "Why didn't I realize that your archery skills are so good before."

Shang An smiled foolishly and did not answer.

He solved the mystery in the womb, and his mental strength was greatly improved. It was not difficult for him to hit the target every time when facing these beast-like wolves.

"Xiao An, thank you very much." Brother Shanquan on the side also expressed his gratitude while covering his wound.

He was one of the many injured people. If Shang An's arrow had not arrived in time, he would have lost an arm completely. In the village, losing an arm means withdrawing from the hunting team and losing a rich source of supplies.

Others also expressed their gratitude and looked at Shang An with more respect.

Although Shang An is young, his ability has been recognized by them, so people can ignore his age.

If it weren't for Shang An, they wouldn't have been able to achieve a complete victory this time. Even escaping unscathed would have been a luxury, and they might even have lost a few good fighters.

The few people did not go any deeper. This time they harvested a lot of wolves. Although the wolf meat was dry and sour, a group of villagers could not be so particular. Moreover, the meat of a beast like the wolf king, which had already awakened its wisdom, had the effect of strengthening the body and enhancing qi and blood, which was extremely rare.

More importantly, someone has been injured and it is not advisable to move forward.

Several people, some carrying the corpses of the eight wolves, quickly left this bloody place and walked towards the village. On the way, they also caught two rabbits as a meal.

After returning to the village, Uncle Dagen cut open the wolves one by one. He was not only the captain of the hunting team, but also a qualified butcher. He separated the wolf skins, wolf meat and internal organs.

Because Shang An worked harder and made the greatest contribution, he got the most meat in the end. He also asked for a piece of wolfskin, which was big enough to make two wolfskin coats for himself and his daughter.

Carrying a sack of meat, Shang An showed a smile on his face.

You can keep some of the meat that is rich in spiritual energy, and replace the rest with vegetables and fruits to supplement your daughter's nutrition.

There is not much spiritual energy in this place now, and the progress of cultivation is slow, so it is necessary to eat a lot of meat and build a strong body.

Only in this way can you have the opportunity to get out of the mountains and understand the world.

Shang An always felt that this world was very unusual.

"Hey, what is this?"

Suddenly Shang An looked down at his feet.

He seemed to have stepped on something just now, and it hurt his foot a little, but it didn't feel like a stone.

He took a closer look and saw that it was a small piece of copper stuck upside down on the ground. When he pulled it out, he saw that it was very thin and long.

Shang An took it in his hand, swept away the dirt on the copper sheet, then bent the copper sheet, and it turned into the shape of a ring. The ring looked very rough, and Shang An used great force to straighten it, and finally a decent copper ring came out.

"Not bad, take it back for Nannan to play with."

Shang An casually put the copper ring into his pocket and continued walking towards home carrying the wolf meat.

There, there was a little girl waiting for him.
