Perfect Double Agent

Well, this kid didn't beat his opponent in terms of size, but he definitely won in terms of strength, otherwise he would have already lost his temper.

"Let's go, our training has officially begun." Bai Ye murmured, his gaze falling on the distant wilderness.

……

……

The mountains stretch endlessly, the forests are vast and boundless, and in this boundless wilderness, the most primal battles are constantly taking place.

Here, the law of the strong prevails is on full display, and bloodshed and slaughter are happening all the time.

There is no right or wrong, only fullness and hunger.

The law of the jungle is always simple and direct: mercy only brings death.

If you try to reason with a ferocious beast, it will only talk about stomach acid, just like it is now.

In a tall forest, a figure moved nimbly up and down the trees, while a giant python, hundreds of meters long, pursued him relentlessly. Wherever its massive body passed, trees collapsed.

Humans find great nourishment in eating ferocious beasts, and similarly, ferocious beasts find great nourishment in eating cultivators. This is why the giant python relentlessly pursued them.

"I can't even be bothered with you, but you still don't realize it."

But just as Bai Ye's voice fell, a tremendous roar suddenly came from the depths of the Great Wilderness.

"Roar!"

The beast king's roar shook the heavens and echoed repeatedly, causing the beasts to flee in panic. Even the giant python shuddered and abandoned its prey, running towards the outer perimeter.

Bai Ye leaped onto a towering tree and gazed into the depths of the wilderness, where dark clouds covered the sky, and a terrifying and oppressive atmosphere surged wildly in all directions like a tide.

"A major change has occurred deep within; a super ferocious beast at the Venerable level is clearing the area!"

The witch also arrived, and two months later, her eyes had become filled with a more murderous aura.

For the past two months, they have roamed the wilderness, keeping company with the mountains and beasts, honing their skills in battle. Their spirit and energy have undergone a transformation, making them resemble two ferocious little beasts.

"It's a beast tide, let's retreat first."

Bai Ye acted decisively, leaping through the forest with the witch at an extremely fast pace.

"That's not right. They're just two minor Venerables. Why should we run away? Let's go back and kill them!" The witch was small, but she was quite ferocious and seemed intent on eating the Venerable beasts.

“You forgot? I kicked the bodyguards out. They’re probably looking for opportunities somewhere.” Bai Ye said.

They originally had two Divine Fire Realm guards, but Bai Ye drove them away, saying they were to go find the Kunpeng Nest and were not currently in the Stone Kingdom.

At first, the two naturally disagreed, but Bai Ye and the witch both possessed forbidden artifacts of the gods, and they were ruthless and tough, ready to kill them at the slightest disagreement. They even bluntly stated that if they did not comply, they would definitely make things difficult for them when they grew up.

In the end, the two elderly people left, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The main reason is that these two little guys are not human. They didn't bring any treasures from the lower realm, but instead brought a whole bunch of forbidden artifacts from true gods and celestial beings. If they were activated, they could easily destroy a powerful force. In this desolate region, let alone anyone killing those two little guys, it would be good enough if they didn't bully others.

"Could they be fighting over some treasure? I think we have an obligation to observe them." The witch gazed into the depths of the Great Wilderness, where she could vaguely see half the sky dyed red, and the terrifying heat waves could be clearly sensed even from a great distance.

Bai Ye was also watching the great battle in the depths. A long staff was held horizontally in the sky by a giant ape, and it was locked in a fierce battle with a divine bird that was engulfed in flames.

However, they did not harm the innocent; the area of ​​the great battle was instead protected by the array patterns.

"It's hard to determine a winner in a short time. There should be other Venerable-level experts in the shadows. Now is not the time to get involved. Let's find a place to wait for the right opportunity."

"Sitting on the sidelines and watching the tigers scare you, huh? No wonder you're my cunning junior brother..."

Chapter 14 Stone Village

Two days later.

In the middle of a vast mountain range, two dusty-faced figures rode a gray-feathered phoenix and came to a stop.

Here, towering peaks stand tall, and majestic mountains rise high. It's not exactly the outer perimeter, but it's not exactly the deepest part either. Being in this place, one can no longer feel the great battles that once raged in the deepest part of the Great Wilderness; only wisps of oppressive atmosphere remain.

"It's unbelievable that there's a village here." The two dismounted from the phoenix, patted its wings, and released it.

The village below was small, but its location was unique, surrounded by mountains on all sides. It was inconspicuous in the mountains, and if they hadn't come from the air, they would not have been able to find it easily.

But the place is quite backward, as if it has been isolated from the world for many years. The houses are all built of huge stones, and most of the men, women and children wear homemade animal skin clothes or rough linen clothes, which are simple and unadorned.

It was already evening, and smoke was rising from every household in the village. The enticing aroma of meat wafted out, making the witch twitch her delicate nose and her eyes light up.

"Come on, let your senior sister take you to get a free meal."

Sure enough, people who are naturally outgoing are not afraid of strangers wherever they go, and this mountain area is no exception.

The two descended the mountain, following the well-trodden path, and headed straight for the village entrance.

At this time of day, almost every household is cooking. At the village entrance, apart from a weathered old man, there is only a group of young children.

They listened intently, as if they were listening to the old man tell stories about the outside world, their eyes filled with longing and hope.

Being born in this vast wilderness was not something they could choose, but each of them had a heart that yearned for the outside world.

Suddenly, the old man stopped and his gaze fell on the two children walking towards the village entrance.

They were covered in dust and dirt, dressed in rags, with many congealed bloodstains on their bodies. Although they looked young, they were very spirited.

However, what made the old man's pupils shrink was that the material of the two men's clothes, even though they were covered in dust, was clearly of extraordinary quality.

"Grandpa, we're so hungry, is there any food for us?" The witch looked at the old man with pitiful eyes, which made the old man's newly raised wariness slowly dissipate, and finally turn into a sigh.

How much bad intentions could two seven- or eight-year-old children have? Even if their origins and motives are unknown, he could still afford to give them a meal.

However, many things have happened in the village recently, and some things cannot be exposed, which is why he is wary of the two of them.

Not long after, in the village chief's courtyard, Shi Yunfeng glanced at the girl who was patting her still flat stomach with a happy expression, and casually asked, "How did you come from the mountains?"

"We were driven out by two ferocious beasts. They were too unfriendly, so I had no choice but to run away with my younger brother," the witch laughed.

"Kicked out... Are you the legendary... humanoid beasts?!" At the table, a handsome child who was still eating heartily looked up and asked. He was a big eater and was choking so badly that his eyes rolled back, but he still chewed until he swallowed a big mouthful of beast milk, which made him feel a little better.

There was no way around it; in terms of eating speed and quantity, he could dominate the entire village and was the brightest kid. Unexpectedly, he lost to an outsider.

"Little brat, I'm a person, a woman, understand?" The witch glanced at the still-weaning little guy and said arrogantly.

The old man just smiled. Although they hadn't known each other for long, he was almost certain that the other party had come to Stone Village by chance and didn't have any ill intentions towards them.

However, one should always be wary of others, especially since they recently obtained the corpse of the Suanni, which contains primordial rune bones. Just based on this alone, he couldn't put his mind at ease.

After all, even the slightest leak of information could bring utter destruction to this village of just over three hundred people.

"The room is all ready for you. I'm going to check the bath water." The old man got up and left.

"We all take showers with cold water..." the baby muttered.

"Drink your milk!" The witch rolled her eyes, finding the little baby quite amusing. In this small village, he was practically unique. He wasn't exactly extraordinary, but he certainly didn't seem like the kind of child a village could have.

"Nonsense, I weaned myself a long time ago!" Shi Hao retorted, but the next moment, he couldn't help but take a big gulp from the can, and even licked his lips with a hint of lingering satisfaction, which made Bai Ye, who had been silent all along, twitch his eye.

Being stared at so suddenly by the two of them, even Shi Hao blushed as red as a monkey's bottom, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

"Don't you all drink animal milk?" Shi Hao retorted, his neck stiff, as if in his final struggle before death.

"No, we've only drunk from the spiritual spring, eaten spiritual fruits, and taken medicinal baths since we were little."

Shi Hao: "..."

For a long while, Shi Hao was still blinking, looking quite sophisticated, "But you have lost the greatest happiness that a child should have."

"It's just a medicinal bath. I stopped taking those kinds of baths when I was two years old," Shi Hao said dismissively, pointing to a medicine cauldron in the courtyard.

"Perhaps..." The witch did not refute, and whether she was hungry again or seeing Shi Hao eating so heartily, her cravings were stirred up again. She said to Bai Ye, "Hurry up, take out one of the chickens you brought. For this interesting soul and our shared love of food, we must eat our fill this time."

“That’s true.” Bai Ye nodded and took out a large, yellowish-brown hen that was over a meter tall from his Qiankun bag. This sight made Shi Hao envious. Perhaps it was because he was a natural foodie, but he was immediately attracted to the hen.

The hen was quite ordinary, all yellowish-brown, like a breed raised on piles of rocks. Apart from being a bit large, it seemed to have no other distinguishing features.

But its gaze was intelligent, as if it possessed a mind of its own, trembling with fear as it struggled to escape, but could not break free from that hand.

The next one snapped its neck and died instantly, a sight that made Shi Hao's pupils shrink.

These two children, who are four years older than him, are truly extraordinary.

“It’s very spiritual…” Shi Hao said hesitantly.

“Survival of the fittest; in all the myriad realms, anything not in human form can be included in the menu and transformed into gourmet food,” Bai Ye said calmly.

"Is...that so?" Shi Hao was somewhat bewildered. His reason told him that this was wrong, but deep down, he vaguely wanted to agree. He was very conflicted, which made him look conflicted.

But Bai Ye and the witch were extremely quick, plucking chicken feathers at lightning speed and with great skill, as if they had done this more than once. Their smooth movements and natural hand speed left Shi Hao dumbfounded, as if he had discovered a new continent. In the end, his eyes were dazed as he stared at the two of them setting up the cauldron, pouring water, and starting the fire, all in one smooth motion.

Spiritual fruits, spiritual medicines, spiritual springs, heavenly juices, and sweet dew were thrown into the cauldron one after another, making Shi Hao unable to help but swallow his saliva.

He didn't recognize many of the things, but his intuition told him they were all valuable treasures.

But what caught his eye most was the five-colored bag around the young man's waist, which looked like a huge treasure trove that he could never finish emptying.

This scene left a very deep impression on his young mind, and he could hardly forget it.

Chapter 15 Eight Treasures Chicken

"It smells so good... such rich spiritual energy... what are you cooking?!" Shi Yunfeng arrived, looked at the boiling soup in the cauldron, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. It felt so good that every cell in his body was going wild.

"The chicken is cooking... Grandpa Shi, come and sit down, have some too." The witch warmly pulled Shi Yunfeng over and made him sit on the stone bench, waiting for the meal.

"What kind of chicken is this? It smells so good..." Shi Yunfeng exclaimed in amazement, while Shi Hao next to him was even more exaggerated, his mouth watering uncontrollably, his stomach rumbling with cravings, but he couldn't swallow it down no matter what he did.

As for his previous compassion, he completely forgot about it.

"It should be ready soon, we can eat now." Under Shi Hao's expectant gaze, Bai Ye took the stone bowl, ladled a bowl of soup for Shi Yunfeng, and forked a whole chicken leg that was more than half a meter long.

Similarly, another large chicken leg fell into the witch's hands. Shi Hao immediately panicked, not caring about the heat, he grabbed a chicken wing and started frantically gnawing on it, his breath coming out steaming hot air.

"It's so...delicious...I've never eaten such delicious chicken in my life..." Shi Hao said happily, and then continued to eat voraciously.

"Child, this chicken is something special." Shi Yunfeng ate a little over half of it, his whole body radiating a rich aura of energy. He glanced at Shi Hao with a kind look and didn't eat any more.

"It's alright, I think it's called Eight Treasures Chicken," the witch said briefly.

"Eight Treasures... Chicken..." Shi Yunfeng suddenly stood up, his voice incredibly loud, startling Shi Hao.

But Shi Yunfeng couldn't contain his excitement and pointed incredulously at the bubbling cauldron, "Don't tell me we're eating the legendary Eight Treasures Chicken that even gods would drool over!"

"It seems so..." The witch smiled, lying without even blinking, "Grandpa Shi, don't worry, there's a whole flock of those chickens deep in the wilderness. We've only caught a few, not enough to eat, we'll kill more."

“Still killing…” Shi Yunfeng stared blankly at the two calm children. Their backgrounds were probably beyond imagination. They were either two spendthrifts, pure gluttons. They were willing to cook such things. They would be struck by lightning sooner or later.
