Ni Yinghong flashed down from the big tree.
Her eyes wandered about as she asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Ou Yangming and He Liangce looked away from each other at the same time, then the former laughed and commented, "Brother Ou, you're really skillful. Killing the wolf king is like taking something out of its pocket, so I'm impressed!"
He Liangce shook his head and remarked, "Brother Ou, you were born with endless Qi and blood, as well as great endurance, so I'm amazed too."
'If you say this to Chen Dishou, I wonder how that Supreme Great Ancestor will react, ' Ou Yangming thought while pouting his lips.
He asked as a thought crossed his mind, "Brother He, is that wolf king a half-spirit beast?"f𝑟ℯ𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝓷oѵ𝐞Ɩ - 🅽🅽novel
"Yes, but it hasn't been long since it incited the Blood Meridian Power, and sent its strongest wolf protectors here, so I was able to kill it in one swoop, " He Liangce answered seriously and added after a pause, "Brother Ou, you're not even hurt after being attacked by a pack of wolf protectors-you hid your light well."
Ou Yangming let out a hollow laugh and replied to him, "You're overpraising me. Your accomplishment of killing a half-spirit beast among a wolf pack is truly shocking."
Ni Yinghong already had goosebumps by now. She quickly expressed, "Stop flattering each other already, what should we do now?"
"Of course, we're going to see that half-spirit beast, " Ou Yangming immediately said, then he turned to look around him."We shouldn't let go of the wolf fangs here too." Following that, he flashed to the side of a dead giant wolf, then he used his saber to remove all its fangs.
Ni Yinghong was stunned. She had dared not do the same when she saw the giant wolf's tragic state after death.
Earlier when both parties fought, Ni Yinghong was merciless against the wolves. She killed one if one attacked her, and she killed two if a pair of them pounced on her. With the magic longsword, she fully displayed a heroine's imposing manner.
Nonetheless, once the fight ended, she felt uncomfortable seeing blood all over the ground.
"Younger sister, you can keep watch for us. I'll do it." He Liangce volunteered with a smile, then he crouched and removed the wolf fangs with his folding fan.
In actuality, He Liangce did not know why Ou Yangming wanted the fangs, but since the three of them traveled together, he decided to trust the young fellow.
Although plenty of giant wolves were killed, there was a limited amount of wolf fangs, hence they collected all of them without taking a long time. Afterward, He Liangce led them to another battlefield, which was tens of meters away.
Ou Yangming's face could not help but change when he arrived at the battlefield.
The scene was bloody and chaotic, and there were more than ten dead giant wolves on the ground. Among them, an especially huge wolf, which was the size of a big buffalo, was baring its fangs in a pool of blood.
It was evident from the situation that He Liangce had had a tough fight, but he did not say a word about it, making it seem as though the fight was insignificant. His cultivation base and steady composure were commendable indeed.
Ou Yangming licked his lips when he saw the wolf king's gigantic body, but he instantly suppressed his thought of wanting to steal its flesh and blood.
A half-spirit beast's flesh and blood were priceless. Not only could they be used to recover one's Qi and blood, but they also had a mysterious function of improving one's mental power. If Ou Yangming absorbed the beast's flesh and blood, his mental power would probably be upgraded once more.
Nevertheless, he was unable to do so in front of Ni Yinghong and He Liangce.
While feeling regretful, Ou Yangming kept a straight face and knocked out the wolf king's fangs one by one.
He Liangce glanced at him, then turned to help him remove the fangs.
Ou Yangming gathered the wolf fangs together and turned his wrist to release the Military Fire. The mental power in his head was released bit by bit, slowly instilled into a wolf fang together with the purple flame.
He was already extremely familiar with the process, thus a wolf fang was remodeled after a brief moment.
He Liangce nodded when he came to a sudden realization. They had limited pieces of equipment and supplements with them, but they were staying in the forest for a long time.
Therefore, it would be unusually important for them to utilize locally available materials.
Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief after an hour when he finally finished smithing all the wolf fangs into explosive wolf fangs.
After a moment of hesitation, he split the fangs into three parts."These are hidden weapons smithed by me, and they have great might. You may use them as you wish, and there's no need to be stingy at all."
Hundreds of wolf fangs were made, each one similar to the most superior explosive arrow. Even though the shooting range was shorter for the fangs, they were not inferior to explosive arrows at all in terms of its might.
Ni Yinghong's eyes lit up because she had heard of the famous explosive arrows in the military camp. She picked up one of the wolf fangs and channeled a hint of essential Qi into it, then she threw it far away.
Though her power was not on par with Ou Yangming's and He Liangce's, it was not negligible after essential Qi was used. The wolf fang hit a big tree about 7 meters away, then it exploded at once.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..." Whistles of strong wind filled the air at that moment. The big tree was covered in holes due to the explosion, and small holes were also seen on the ground within a 2-meters-radius from it.
The eyes of Ni Yinghong and He Liangce glowed at the same time. They had guessed it when Ou Yangming employed his Military Fire earlier, but the explosive wolf fang's might was so powerful that it was beyond their expectations."Nice! Ah... If I had these items just now, I wouldn't have needed to..." He Liangce shook his head. He sounded rather regretful, which made it obvious that he paid quite a huge price to slaughter the wolf king.
Ou Yangming laughed and suggested, "Let's continue our journey."
"Wait." He Liangce reached out his hand to stop him. He turned around to approach the wolf king, then he retrieved a dagger to cut the wolf's body and took out a small pill-sized ball.
Ou Yangming was intrigued because he had previously acquired a similar item from the Black Magic Crawler king in the Chaos Cave after he killed it with Big Yellow.
Big Yellow became a Supreme Great Ancestor after it ate the item and took a long nap.
Ou Yangming did not expect the wolf king's body to contain the item too.
Ni Yinghong noted, "Elder Brother He, you're very lucky that this half-spirit beast already has an inner core."
He Liangce grinned. He took out his bottle to wash off the blood on the inner core with water, and he uttered, "Younger sister, this is yours."
"A noble person doesn't steal another person's treasure. Thank you for the offer, Elder Brother, but I don't need it, " Ni Yinghong responded right away.
"This item's tremendously helpful toward one's cultivation in mental power, and the greatest effect will be unleashed if you use it. It'll be such a waste if you don't take it." He Liangce could not help but laugh.
Ni Yinghong hesitated for a while but was firm on her decision in the end."Thank you for your kind gesture, but I won't take a reward if it's undeserved."
He Liangce sighed and turned to ask, "Brother Ou, the three of us have entered the dense forest to seek the peculiar bamboo, so we should work as one. Since this item suits Younger sister the most, shouldn't she accept it?"
Ou Yangming looked deeply at him and said, "Elder Sister Ying, just accept it." "Lil' Ming..." Ni Yinghong grumbled. Ou Yangming took a step forward to take the inner core, then he gave it to Ni Yinghong. Subsequently, he turned and pointed out, "I owe you one."
He would not allow Ni Yinghong to accept He Liangce's gift for no reason, but it would not matter if he was the one who gave her the gift instead.
As for whether he would be able to return the favor in the future, Ou Yangming was not worried at all.
After all, it would be easy for him to repay the kindness as long as he could use smithing art. He Liangce weighed the hundred explosive wolf fangs in his hands and asked with a smile, "What are these regarded as?"
"These are spoils of war, so they can't be treated the same." Ou Yangming left no room for discussion.
"Okay, you owe me one then." He Liangce spread out his hands helplessly.
Ni Yinghong furrowed her beautiful eyebrows and was about to reject the offer when she noticed the resolute look in Ou Yangming's eyes. She sighed and kept the inner core.
Since she was Elder Universe's last disciple, there was no need for anyone to teach her how to use the core."Brother He, please identify the direction again." Ou Yangming smiled."Oh? Brother Ou, did you forget the direction?" He Liangce asked strangely.
"Hehe, when the fight happened, I was only focused on escaping. How could I have had the time to check the direction?" Ou Yangming continued after a short pause, "It's also because you were beside me, or I would've paid more attention to it."
He Liangce nodded and closed his eyes to use a certain trick.
After a brief moment, he opened his eyes and stated, "Over there."
Ou Yangming glanced at where he was pointed and nodded before he strode toward that direction.
However, he sighed and thought, 'This fella definitely has a secret technique to find paths. '
Although Ou Yangming seemed like he escaped in a hurry earlier, he remembered the path well. He only pretended to have forgotten to test He Liangce.
Sure enough, He Liangce did not disappoint him.
The three of them continued with their journey, but it was not as smooth as before.
Due to the wolf blood that was stained on Ou Yangming's equipment set, there was a rich bloody smell even though the blood was already dry. From time to time, some ferocious beasts approached them after picking up the smell of blood. The beasts could not harm them in any way, but it was huge trouble for them.
Fortunately, Ou Yangming and his companions stumbled upon a small river after half an hour. After making sure that it was not poisonous, Ou Yangming cleaned his pieces of equipment to get rid of the bloodstains.
On the other hand, He Liangce hunted two hares. The three of them roasted the animals to fill their stomachs, then they put out the fire and rested for a while before they went back on track again.
As expected, their journey became smooth again once the bloodstains were cleaned.
That said, Ou Yangming stopped advancing again after two days.
In front of him was an exceptionally dense forest where countless little black spots constantly circled above while making "buzz" sounds.
