Chapter 11: The Human’s Wine Shouldn’t Be Drunk Recklessly
Zhao Wenzhuo sneered internally. As a cultivator, how could he possibly be hit by an ordinary hunter’s arrow aimed at his storage bag? Did the hunter really think he was drunk?
He had deliberately let the bag be hit and the contents scatter, creating an opportunity for a surprise attack.
If he had directly reached for the storage bag, his senior brother would have immediately become alert, and given the distance between them, even if he acted first, he might not have been able to hit his target.
By pretending to collect the scattered items, he lured the opponent closer and picked up the spiritual talisman to strike swiftly. The opponent wouldn’t have had time to react.
The fat middle-aged man had also been planning to hoard some elixirs for himself, falling right into Zhao Wenzhuo’s trap.
“Zhao Wenzhuo, may you die a terrible death!”
Ding Hai quickly realized what had happened, his eyes turning blood-red with rage. But soon, he was forced to fight the bear demon.
The bear demon’s strength was beyond his imagination, reaching the middle stage of the Spirit Beast level, and in close combat, there was no way out!
His fate was sealed!
Xu Hei was stunned, taking a long while to come to his senses.
“What a situation! The snake catchers are having an internal conflict!”
Xu Hei was amazed, his eyes wide open at the scene.
“Brother Ding, don’t blame me! Both of us have been stuck at the Qi Refinement early stage for years, but that spiritual item could only let one of us break through. Brother Ding, I’m sorry!”
Zhao Wenzhuo said with a tone full of regret.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to add an extra layer of cruelty. He took out a Wind Blade Talisman, activated it, and shot two blades at Ding Hai, one at Li San, and one at the two villagers who had witnessed the scene, eliminating all witnesses.
Then, he took out a peculiar cow horn flute and blew into it, immediately producing a wolf howl.
This flute would summon a pack of wolves to devour all the bodies and erase all traces.
His movements were so practiced they seemed almost mechanical.
After finishing these tasks, Zhao Wenzhuo picked up the remaining elixirs.
Finally, he looked with a touch of regret at the shattered wine jar, sighed, and turned to leave.
“Brother Ding, to stage this scene, I really had to spend a lot!”
He wasn’t sad about the wine but about the elixirs. They were essential for his daily cultivation, and he had paid a high price to make the scene convincing.
Meanwhile, Ding Hai, who was covered in blood and about to activate a talisman in his final moments to strike Zhao Wenzhuo from afar, let out a desperate roar and threw the talisman at the bear demon.
“Boom!!”
With a loud explosion, both figures were blasted away. Ding Hai’s limbs were shattered, his head blown off, and he died on the spot.
The bear demon was severely injured as well, its fur charred black, burned off in patches, and it had lost one eye.
Not long after Zhao Wenzhuo left, the howling of the wolves could be heard in the distance.
The arrival of the wolves meant that no one would survive.
Xu Hei, no longer in the mood to pay attention to the events, just wanted to finish up quickly and replace another place.
He couldn’t stay here any longer; not only had many people died, but the place was also filled with the smell of alcohol.
Xu Hei seriously suspected that he had offended the Mountain God and was cursed. Had he ever offended anyone?
This place was not suitable for staying. Restoring his energy was the priority.
Xu Hei took a deep breath, practiced his breathing technique, and absorbed the spiritual energy from the air.
Gradually, a large amount of spiritual energy was released from the wine and elixirs, entering his body and slowly warming his icy cold body.
“Hm?”
Xu Hei’s gaze froze as he looked at the wine.
This was a spirit wine consumed by cultivators, infused with herbs, poisonous snakes, turtles, and other spiritual items, already possessing considerable spirituality. It had further increased its spiritual energy by merging with elixirs.
Just a whiff made Xu Hei feel the surge of spiritual energy.
“Humans say that young people shouldn’t drink, but I’m an adult now, so it should be fine to try a little, right?”
Xu Hei hesitated for a moment before deciding to take a sip.
He first licked a drop with his tongue, and instantly, a spicy sensation spread through his body, not only sharpening his mind but also raising his body temperature.
Xu Hei waited for a while and found no abnormality. The spiciness gradually faded.
“What a strange taste.”
He licked a few more drops, the fiery sensation surging again, a wave of heat rushing to his brain, warming his cold body rapidly, and the numbness dissipated, leaving a slight euphoria.
Xu Hei’s eyes lit up.
He bent down and took a big gulp, the spicy liquid flowing down his throat, directly reaching his brain, and the dizzy feeling intensified.
“I’m getting drunk, I can’t stand it!”
Xu Hei no longer hesitated, absorbing all the spirit wine in the cave, leaving none behind.
He even swallowed the earth the wine had seeped into.
At this moment, torrents of scorching and violent energy surged into his meridians and flesh. Xu Hei felt as though his stomach was on fire, intensely hot, and the heat spread throughout his body, almost unbearable.
But soon, he adapted to the feeling.
“What an incredible aftereffect! Is this what alcohol does? Haha!”
Xu Hei was overjoyed and quickly focused on refining the energy.
As time went by, Xu Hei suddenly felt his consciousness drifting away from his body, as if he was floating in the sky.
“What’s happening?”
Xu Hei looked up at the cave entrance, which seemed to split into three, five, eight…
“Hmm? Why has the entrance become eight?”
Xu Hei’s face showed confusion.
His body became increasingly hot, with boundless energy flowing out. He felt he had endless strength to release.
A surge of restless emotion suddenly surged into his brain.
Xu Hei let out a furious roar, slamming his tail against the stone wall with immense force, and his body shot towards the cave entrance.
With a tremendous “boom,” the entire cave collapsed under the immense power, debris flying everywhere as if a bomb had exploded underground, causing the ground to shake violently.
The wolf pack was startled and looked around in confusion. They saw a black, slender shadow shoot up from the distance and fall to the ground.
When they realized it was just a snake blasted away, the wolves ignored it and continued eating.
…
The cold wind blew, rustling the forest, and snowflakes fell.
Snow began to blanket the ground, covering everything in a layer of white. Before long, the world was a vast expanse of whiteness.
At this moment, wolves surged from all directions, pouncing on the corpses, and even the few survivors were mercilessly attacked by the wolves, their screams echoing through the air.
As for the giant bear demon, one of its eyes was blinded, its fur was mostly burned off, and it limped, likely with broken bones.
The wolves circled the bear, eyeing it menacingly. Initially, two wolves charged, but they were swatted dead by the bear demon and did not dare to approach again.
“Roar!”
The bear demon roared in anger, and the wolves retreated, unwilling to provoke it.
Xu Hei looked at the snowy forest, feeling as if the sky was spinning and the earth was no longer solid.
His snake skin was red and hot, and the ice and snow it touched were melting.
Beyond the intense heat and dizziness, he also felt hunger, an overwhelming hunger.
“I’m so hungry!”
“Eh? So many rabbits?”
Xu Hei stared at the starving wolves attacking humans with suspicion.
In his sight, countless rabbits appeared, splitting into two, then four, and increasing in number, densely packed.
Out of curiosity, Xu Hei climbed up, only to replace that the rabbits not only did not run away but instead bared their teeth and growled at him.
“Damn it, rabbits daring to be arrogant, do you think you’re wolves or something!”
Xu Hei’s temper flared, and without saying a word, he charged and bit down on a wolf that was growling at him, swallowing it whole.
