"Granny, Wang Fang called as they stepped beneath the towering trees.
Why are we going deep into this forest?he asked.
Old Lady Shen walked ahead calmly, her steps light despite her age.
"To begin with," she replied, you will have too kill a lot of beasts.
Wang Fang froze.
...Granny. the last time I came here, it wasn't easy to even find a single beast, let alone a lot of them.
Old Lady Shen smiled but said nothing. Instead, she took out a small pill and held it between her fingers.
Look at this.
Wang Fang stared at it carefully.
So, what is this pill for? Granny. he asked. "I can't feel any spiritual Qi from it at all".
Old Lady Shen laughed softly.
That's normal. You wouldn't be able to tell.
Wang Fang blinked. What!
She continued, You said this forest doesn't have many beasts, right.
Wang Fang's expression changed slightly.
Yes.
Good.
She infused her qi into ten pills at once.
A strange ripple spread through the forest.
Do you know what this pill is called. Old Lady Shen asked calmly.
No, Wang Fang replied.
She smiled.
Blood Scent Spirit Pill.
The moment the words fell,
Rustle,Roar,Howl.
The forest exploded with movement.
Wang Fang's eyes widened.
From the shadows emerged beasts he had never seen in such numbers before.
An Ironhide Boar,a Tier One beast.
Not a threat, Wang Fang muttered.
Then a Black Fang Wolf, its claws and teeth gleaming sharply.
That one's dangerous.
Next came a massive Stoneback Bear, towering over him.
It's… huge.
Then suddenly.
A terrifying pressure washed over the area.
Wang Fang's heart skipped.
A Crimson Claw Tiger stepped out, its red claws digging into the earth.
A Tier Three beast. Wang Fang whispered, overwhelmed.
And it didn't stop.
Beasts kept coming.
Dozens.
Hundreds.
Ah, Granny! Wang Fang shouted. "What did you say that pill was called again?
Blood Scent Spirit Pill," Old Lady Shen repeated calmly.
Wang Fang swallowed hard.
That pill… has terrifying potential.
Old Lady Shen looked at him and casually tossed a sword his way.
Now, she said, kill them all.
Wang Fang caught the sword.
All of them. But Granny, there are, at least three hundred beast here.
He paused.
Ahhhh,what choice do I have.
He closed his eyes.
Opened them again.
Then smiles faintly.
…These beasts are no threat to me.
The beasts roared as murderous intent surged from every direction.
Wang Fang slowly raised his sword.
Then
He jumped straight into the center.
Old Lady Shen's eyes widened slightly.
Midair, Wang Fang drew his sword.
As beasts rushed him from all sides, he twisted his body and slashed in a wide circular arc.
Slash!
Several beasts were cut down before they could even reach him.
Wolves leapt toward his throat.
Wang Fang ducked and sidestepped effortlessly.
Next, boars and bears charged at him together, horns from below, claws from above.
His eyes flickered.
He jumped.
Twisted between them.
The two massive beasts collided with each other instead.
Boom!
Wang Fang landed smoothly.
Oh. Old Lady Shen said, clearly impressed. Keep going, boy.
Wang Fang leapt onto a tree branch.
The branch bent under his weight.
He compressed all his strength
And blasted forward like an arrow.
Midflight, he swung his sword in a wide horizontal sweep.
Slash.
More than twenty beasts fell in an instant.
Old Lady Shen's expression finally changed.
Even if these are mostly Tier One beasts,she murmured, a Blood Refinement cultivator shouldn't be able to do this.
Her eyes narrowed.
Huh.He has the strength of a Qi Gathering cultivator.
She smiled faintly.
What a monster.
