Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths

"Stop hitting it! Stop hitting it! The egg is almost cooked; it smells delicious."

Shi Hao aimed the iron pot at Huo Ling'er's fire spell and used the fire spell to grill the food.

Qi Shi'an stood to the side and occasionally used a large iron spoon to forcefully strike the egg, trying to break it.

The two even used eggs as shields to block the various magical attacks thrown at them, using the eggs as a means of barbecue.

"Snap!"

Suddenly, the eggshell cracked open with a crisp sound, sending up a wisp of misty smoke.

"Huh, it looks like something alive is causing trouble inside?"

Qi Shi'an asked the question knowingly, feigning innocence. Upon hearing this, the crowd was startled, quickly stopped what they were doing, and immediately surrounded him.

Shi Hao was very wary and stepped back, threatening, "I'm warning you, don't you dare steal it. We'll all eat this egg together."

"puff!"

Everyone felt like vomiting blood. This little baby was still thinking about eating it. It was definitely not safe for the divine egg to remain in his hands.

"Snap!"

The golden eggshell shattered, revealing a small creature curled up in Shi Hao's palm.

A hazy glow swirled and rose, enveloping the little thing and making it look very mysterious.

The surrounding crowd gasped in surprise, their eyes gleaming with an unusual light. This was a descendant of an ancient god; raising him would grant them a clan-protecting treasure technique.

"She looks quite cute."

Qi Shi'an poked the grayish little thing; its fur was soft, and its two small ears stood up straight.

The little wings were also grayish-brown, and there were two small bumps on its head, as if horns were about to grow out.

Its entire body was gray and furry, with large, shiny black eyes that looked around in confusion. Its body was curled up in Shi Hao's arm, showing some fear and terror.

"Wolves really do lay eggs."

Shi Hao was somewhat surprised, staring at the little gray wolf in his arms.

"You're not allowed to eat it!"

Seeing him drooling, Huo Ling'er immediately stepped forward, looking at him nervously, and stretched out her two crystal-clear white arms to stop him.

"This is a young god; you can't eat it! That's blasphemy!"

The nine-headed lion beside it whispered, somewhat afraid that the two of them would actually stew and eat the offspring of the gods.

In its mind, these two were nothing but devils, capable of doing all sorts of outrageous things.

Shi Hao looked at everyone, somewhat bewildered, and said angrily, "You are too cruel! How could you eat such a rare divine fetus?"

"That's right, of course the divine fetus must be nurtured. I also want to peek into the divine's precious techniques."

Qi Shi'an thought that if he raised it to adulthood and then explored the profound meaning of the runes within its body, he would gain another unparalleled supernatural power, which was a rare treasure.

"How could there not be?"

Shi Hao had already gotten the hang of it and explored it for a long time. This descendant of the wolf god should have a unique and powerful rune inside its body.

However, after exploring for a long time, he found no runes at all. There were no original rune bones or marks in his body; his flesh and blood were simply still powerful.

"Perhaps it hasn't grown up yet and hasn't developed runes?"

Qi Shi'an was also puzzled. Logically speaking, the descendants of the Wolf God should inherit some legacy in their bodies at birth. Could it be that the Wolf God died before he could leave behind his legacy?

This explains why the divine egg left by the wolf god never hatched.

Shi Hao looked at it; the grayish little wolf was not at all mysterious and looked very weak.

He grabbed the wolf cub by the tail, lifted it upside down, and then spread its little wings.

Qi Shi'an kept poking it with his finger, making the little wolf howl.

"Don't mess with it like that, give it to me!"

Huo Ling'er couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she snatched the wolf away and hugged it tightly.

However, the grayish little wolf's big eyes sparkled, and with a whoosh, it escaped and darted onto Shi Hao's shoulder, hanging there like a koala.

Qi Shi'an chuckled and said, "Little one, it's obvious it likes you a lot."

"That's right, but it seems hungry; it keeps meowing."

"Hey, junior sister, do you have any milk?"

Shi Hao scratched his head and looked at Huo Ling'er with his big eyes before speaking.

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this; they were all frozen in place, completely dumbfounded. Even Qi Shi'an hadn't expected him to utter such a statement.

"Go to hell!"

Huo Ling'er was furious. Usually, she was graceful and elegant, but now she was completely enraged, her body was on fire, and runes were flashing. She looked like she was about to beat Shi Hao up.

"This is ridiculous. If you don't have it, fine, but why get so angry?"

"Come on, let's go find it ourselves. I'll find you the best animal milk."

Shi Hao, carrying the little wolf, ran away with his head in his hands, feeling extremely wronged, completely unaware of how he had offended Huo Ling'er.

Upon hearing this, everyone was both amused and exasperated, and couldn't help but think of the baby's name in the Realm of Gods—"Loves to Eat Beast Milk"—it turned out to be true.

Shi Hao and Qi Shi'an captured a mother wolf and made her feed her cubs. However, the little creatures refused to eat and instead stared longingly at a package belonging to Huo Ling'er.

Huo Ling'er noticed this, opened the package, and took out two spiritual herbs and a jade cauldron.

The little wolf ran straight over, gulped down the two spiritual herbs in a few bites, then overturned the jade cauldron and pounced on it.

Qi Shi'an laughed, "So it doesn't like milk, but prefers these precious blood and flesh medicines!"

Shi Hao felt a pang of heartache when he saw what the little wolf was eating. That heart was the condensation of the divine essence of an extremely powerful ferocious creature, a veritable treasure made from flesh and blood.

They just fed the wolf cubs like that? What a waste.

After the little wolf finished eating the Blood and Flesh Elixir, it darted back onto Shi Hao and patted its belly.

This infuriated Huo Ling'er, who stomped her feet and said, "I was the one who brought you out of the Divine Cave and fed you the Blood and Flesh Elixir, yet you're still so attached to him. He's a scoundrel who will devour you."

"Little one, we can't afford to raise it. We don't even have enough of this blood, flesh, and precious medicine." Qi Shi'an shook Shi Hao's shoulder.

Shi Hao thought so too. This little wolf only ate spiritual herbs and flesh-and-blood treasures, but the two of them also needed these. Dividing them among the three of them was simply not enough.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to send them to the Fire Kingdom princess to freeload.

After making up his mind, Shi Hao chuckled and said, "Little Grey, she'll be your provider from now on. Just freeload off her all you want. Come find me when I need you."

The grayish-brown wolf flapped its little wings, nodded vigorously, and then darted up to Huo Ling'er, blinking its eyes and looking at her curiously.

"you......"

Huo Ling'er was quite annoyed and wanted to slap it, but after thinking about it carefully, she smiled and decided to take it back to the palace and train it slowly. What would such a small wolf know? It would definitely rebel.

Seeing that the little wolf had fallen into the hands of the Fire Kingdom princess, the surrounding creatures quickly retreated, for they knew that they could no longer seize the young god and would rather seek another opportunity.

Shi Hao loudly instructed the little wolf, "Little Gray, you must eat a lot and grow fat quickly. If I can't catch any more ancient ferocious beast cubs in the future, I will take you back to guard the village."

Upon hearing this, a group of creatures that had not yet gone far stumbled. This was a young god! Did you really think it was a wolf or a fierce dog? You actually wanted to take it back to guard your home and village entrance.

What's even more speechless is that the little gray wolf flapped its wings, nodded earnestly to him, and then turned around to ask Huo Ling'er for food.

This infuriated Huo Ling'er even more, making her want to slap them to death. She yelled, "How come you're just like them? You're all gluttons and scoundrels!"

Qi Shi'an's lips twitched, and he silently mocked in his heart, "How come even I'm getting caught up in this? This little brat really knows how to ruin a reputation."

With their business concluded, the two rode on the nine-headed lion and departed to seek more opportunities for breakthroughs.

In another area, a group of people gathered together, raindrops carrying the glow of the sunset falling on them and creating wisps of smoke.

"So, have you found any trace of those two boys?"

"Not yet, but we captured a creature yesterday. It said that it saw two ferocious youths at the Divine Cave who killed the Feather King and others, and also subdued a lion."

"They have already left."

"Then let's wait for them to come out of that area, and we'll lie in wait here for them to appear."

This group of people is the Rain Clan. They possess powerful auras. They brought several sealers with them to Hundred Broken Mountains, hoping to kill the two little children in one fell swoop.

At this moment, the two boys mentioned by the Rain Clan were riding a nine-headed lion, traversing the mountains in search of the Fountain of Immortality.

The nine-headed lion was cast entirely in gold, strong and awe-inspiring, with an extremely dazzling golden mane, resembling an ancient deity. As it walked through the mountains, it caused countless creatures to tremble in fear.

"I can't believe my eyes, that's a nine-headed lion! A legendary remnant, incredibly powerful. How could it have been reduced to a mount?"

"Who are those two boys? How could they make such a powerful and proud nine-headed lion willingly become their mount?"

"Even an invincible king has moments of weakness?"

Countless creatures in the mountains were shocked. They refused to believe what they were seeing. The majestic nine-headed lion, known as the king of the ancient species, with the divine blood of its ancestors flowing through its veins, was renowned far and wide.

Now, a nine-headed golden lion with terrifying bloodline and strength has actually been subdued by a human youth. This is absolutely astonishing news.

"Wow, little brother, you're really something. Just a stroll through the mountains and forests is enough to terrify all the beasts and birds," Shi Hao praised.

During these days of running around, the nine-headed lion was forced to become a subordinate because Shi Hao disliked being called "master".

He wanted to use the reputation of the Nine-Headed Lion to infiltrate the ancient species circle, so that he could freely choose his ingredients.

The nine-headed lion was living under someone else's roof and had no way to resist. If it did resist, it would inevitably be beaten up, leaving it bruised and battered, which would damage its kingly reputation.

However, it was filled with resentment along the way; it had once been a king who dominated all directions and looked down upon the world.

Now, however, it is being used as a mount by two little children, which makes it ashamed and feel that it has disgraced the divine power of its ancestors.

"These mountains are truly paradise! There's so much delicious food; it's making me a little hungry."

Shi Hao's eyes swept around, and many creatures kept their distance, not daring to approach the nine-headed lion even slightly.

"However, it's been unusually quiet along the way; something's not right."

"Hey, has anything unusual been happening here lately?"

As they were about to leave this area and enter another unfamiliar environment, Qi Shi'an casually asked a question.

Qi Shi'an felt that the journey had been unusually peaceful. It was understandable that other creatures feared the nine-headed lion, but the humans should have already received news of the divine cave.

Knowing their location, he should have ambushed them, but there was no sign of them, which made him uneasy.

He didn't believe that those powerful forces would let the two of them off easily, especially the Rain Clan and the six great clans.

They were surprised to learn that they had received a piece of news that made their hearts skip a beat.
