Bearing the blue sky

These two transformed demonic beasts are treasures from head to toe!

A few days ago, he was unable to collect the remains of these monsters.

But now that he's temporarily out of danger, he naturally wants to loot a bit.

Bear heart, bear paws, claws, fur, flesh, fangs, etc., are all treasures!

"Little sister, be careful of your surroundings!"

Zhu Ge immediately squatted down and began to deal with the corpses of the two demonic beasts.

The body was disposed of in about half an hour.

He put all of these things into half a fish basket, then left without looking back, leaving behind only a bloody mess.

……

"Rustle and rustle..."

Leaves rustled past my ears as the blessing sang swiftly.

Looking into the distance, the east is already turning white.

"It's almost dawn, little sister, have you found a suitable place?"

Zhu Ge asked Hua Liusha in his mind.

"Found it! Head southeast, it's about a three-day journey from our Jianshan Village!" Hua Liusha replied.

Zhu Ge helped Hua Liusha find a place to stay.

There's no way he can go back to Jianshan Village now.

After all, the last two people in Jianshan Village, Ji Fuhui and Duan Lei, had already been sent to Menglapo Third Village by him.

Sui Niang returned to the Yi tribe, and Yu Xiucai was also in Menglapo.

Jianshan Village can be said to exist in name only.

We don't know how much of the grain and seedlings in the cave that was dug out will be eaten by insects, or how much will be left.

But no matter what, he needs a place to stay now.

The original Jianshan Mountain had to be abandoned.

"It's a valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with beautiful scenery," Hua Liusha explained. "However, a transformed wild boar lives inside, and you'll need to take it down, brother."

A wild boar that has taken human form?

Why are there wild boars everywhere?!

But that's normal; wild boars, like snakes, are everywhere.

Given their strong innate conditions, it's understandable that a large number of first and second realm demonic beasts would emerge.

When they arrived at the valley, Zhu Ge was in a bad mood.

"This beautiful place, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, has been turned into a mud pit by you, you wild boar? You've already made your way to death."

Zhu Ge saw a very beautiful valley.

The moon has disappeared, the sun has not yet risen, and the bright white light shines on the newly sprouted banana leaves.

The trees stand tall, the water is blue, and the shape is like the mouth of a bottle dyed green by mud.

This valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, or rather, five sides, with an opening on one side, making a total of six sides.

The opening, or entrance, is small, like the mouth of a bottle, but there's more to it than meets the eye inside.

Upon entering, the first thing you see is a blue pond on one side, surrounded by various flowers, plants, and trees of different heights.

Grasslands, shrubs, woods, hills, and ponds are all extremely beautiful.

Such scenery may seem ordinary to monsters, but it is beautiful to humans.

However, these are just the beautiful views that Zhu Ge envisioned the valley should have had.

Because all of this has been destroyed!

The ground, covered with grass and moss, had been roughly turned upside down, dozens of square meters of which were clearly dug up by pigs.

The roots, stems, and leaves of various plants have scratches and tooth marks.

The most important thing is that beautiful pond.

In her previous life, Zhu Ge had seen the water of Blue Moon Valley in Lijiang, which was as pure and pale blue as the sky.

And the water in this valley should have been like that originally.

At that moment, a huge wild boar was lying in the pond, fast asleep, its body covered in filth.

Only a small puddle in the distance reveals the original color of the pond.

The wild boar's body is a gradient of green, and its bristles grow like ferns.

If it weren't for sensing that transforming aura, Zhu Ge would probably have thought it was a green plant artwork made of moss and ferns, rather than a wild boar.

However, this very wild boar had brutally taken over Zhu Ge's beautiful home.

"Damn wild boar, get out of my valley!"

Zhu Ge shouted without any politeness.

The sound traveled into the valley, startling the wild boars that had been fast asleep.

"I am the Long-Branched Boar, possessing ancient bloodlines. Within a hundred miles, no one dares to challenge me. How dare you, a human, disturb me?!"

The wild boar, who called itself the Long Fern Boar, stood up, shook off the water, and its eyes were full of ferocity: "It's been a while since I've eaten any young boys or girls, so today I'll have a feast with you!"

"Very good." Upon hearing this, Zhu Ge's lips curled up, and he immediately stepped forward to fight the long-bristled boar.

"Brother, shall I make a move?" Seeing Zhu Ge fighting so well, Hua Liusha was also eager to try.

"No way, it's broad daylight. If you showed your true form, wouldn't you be shot to death by the sun?" Zhu Ge refused outright.

It's almost dawn now, and Hua Liusha can no longer appear with impunity.

Ghosts and gods, though mysterious and powerful, are often subject to various limitations.

Perhaps, through cultivation, one day in the future, Hua Liusha will be able to walk freely under the sunlight and moonlight.

But at least not now.

"That's true..." Hua Liusha's voice was helpless: "Then I'll go out again tonight. Anyway, I feel like I'm too far from breaking through to the third realm. Maybe I should devour more souls."

"Bang!!!"

Zhu Ge slapped the long-bristled boar on the head and answered in his mind, "Yes, let's settle down here for now. You'll have plenty of opportunities to go out and bewitch and devour souls."

"Yuanyang City is too dangerous right now. We can't go back to Jianshan. We'd better avoid crowded places. We'll consider other things when I'm stronger."

苟！

The Great Plague God Sparrow came from the south to the north, and it seems to have colluded with the Great Demon Red River Dragon Python.

The Lord of Yuanyang City summoned all officials from the three realms back to the city, clearly indicating that a crisis had arrived.

At times like this, people like Zhu Ge can only be considered cannon fodder.

Rather than sacrificing yourself in vain, it's better to focus on developing your abilities.

The valley is very well hidden. If Hua Liusha hadn't used his Yin energy to search for it, he probably wouldn't have found it.

It's the perfect place for him and Hua Liusha to settle down!

He needs to be promoted to Mountainbreaker Warrior within a year!

"Snap!!"

Zhu Ge's Swift Fist tore the Long Fern Boar's spine apart, ending its life.

"Done!"

Watching the long-horned fern's demonic heart slowly stop beating, Zhu Ge couldn't help but feel relieved.

growing up!

He went from being a mortal who had to proceed with extreme caution when facing the Fungus God to a martial artist who could kill a transformed demon beast within half an hour.

Moreover, it is not a spirit beast, but a beast that has taken human form.

"Little sister, you should still be able to absorb this soul; I reckon it's not quite dead yet."

Zhu Ge kicked the long-bristled boar under his feet, and the boar shook its body.

"Brother is so kind!" Hua Liusha had no intention of pitying the long-fern boar. He came out and transformed into a cloud of red mist, enveloping the long-fern boar. A few seconds later, he flew back into Zhu Ge's body.

The women of Jianshan Village are not just farmers; they are also very skilled at killing chickens, pigs, fish, ducks, and so on.

"I'm full! The souls of transformed demon beasts are different, brother. I need to digest for a while!" Hua Liusha's voice was full of drowsiness.

"Okay, I'm hungry too. Let's have roast pork!"

Zhu Ge looked up at the valley and felt a surge of pride, his heart filled with optimism and hope for the future.

Practice!

Not only do they need to cultivate, but they also need to build a simple foothold, or rather, a base or shelter.

This way, he can have enough food to eat even if he stays in this valley for a year or two.

You should know that practicing martial arts is very taxing!

While it's important to have sufficient protein sources like meat, eggs, and dairy, this doesn't mean that nutrients like carbohydrates and fats are unimportant.

In addition, when he has free time, he also needs to gather information about Yuanyang City. If possible, he will also need to go to the city to buy and sell some things and learn some knowledge.

However, what level to reach before moving on, what to sell, what to buy, what knowledge he still lacks, and so on, are all things he needs to consider and plan.

Of course, the most important thing is to increase lifespan!

He only has one year to live. Although he is not afraid of death, he still needs to plan ahead. It would be best if he could live.

"The most important thing right now is to eat your fill!"

"Let's plan our next steps after we finish eating!"
