“It’s the monkeys,” as the little girl murmured, the adults’ expressions changed.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
In this dark forest, even the experienced hunter Wang Laoliu was not sure what was following behind them. But the girl was very sure that it was monkeys. Everyone had just left the Mountain God Temple and Lord Mountain God seemed intent on defending this little girl.
The village chief silently paused his cane and decided to talk to the girl's eldest uncle, Cripple Ai. He would not let Cripple Ai’s family bully this homeless girl.
Thinking of this, the old village chief said, “Well, let's go.”
He glanced at the young men around him and said, “Whether it’s a monkey or a tiger, they won’t rush over after seeing so many people. Just stay close and don’t stray off alone.”
Everyone subconsciously obeyed the village chief, and put away the anxiety and nervousness in their hearts temporarily to continue the journey. While walking in the forest, everyone was much closer, fearing that they would be separated and then caught by a beast.
As the villagers gradually left the Cold Feather Mountain, shortly afterwards Lu Heng inside Mountain God Temple also received the news back from the monkeys.
The group of villagers had gone down and no one was bullying the little girl.
This news gave Lu Heng some peace of mind.
He was really worried that the little girl named Xiao Ai would be bullied by the villagers when she returned, so he deliberately said some words to take care of the girl before he drove away villagers.
After all, the reason why this little girl was sacrificed was the original wolf demon’s need. Now that Lu Heng has crossed over, the matter was more or less associated with him. It was great that this problem could be resolved, otherwise he would feel guilty.
Now that this matter was perfectly resolved, Lu Heng went to practice once again after diving into the ground.
However, today he was different from the original wolf demon, he no longer absorbed the spiritual energy in the earth veins. The previously absorbed thunderbolt power surged among his limbs and bones, filling up Lu Heng’s body to the point of exploding. And he digested this power incomparably slowly, trying to absorb the thunderbolt power completely.
But in the process of absorption, Lu Heng gradually felt his limit, because the power from the thunderbolt could not simply be directly refined into magic power.
In the end, after stirring up half the lives of Cold Feather Mountain, Lu Heng finally arrived at his destination, the largest river in the mountain.
The river was about three feet wide and passes through Shuisheng Village and Cold Feather Mountain, and finally disappeared at the other end of Cold Feather Mountain. Not only did it support the villagers of Shuisheng Village, but it was also an important source of drinking water for the beasts in the mountain.
When Lu Heng walked to the river, the beasts that were originally lying on the river drinking water all fled in fear. Now only Lu Heng could be seen on both sides of this large river.
But he did not care, just standing at the riverside and looking down at his own reflection in the river. In the reflection of the river, the silvery-white giant wolf was awe-inspiring and heroic, just like the beasts of myth and legend, without the slightest hint belonging to the demons and evil spirits.
This body was not bad. Lu Heng said in his heart.
But he didn’t come here to enjoy his appearance. After standing by the river and looking at it for a while, Lu Heng then opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath at the river in front of him.
Then, the power of Mountain God was activated. Instantly the river churned, and one after another fish fluttered and leaped up from the river, flying towards Lu Heng’s mouth.
One, two, three...... These leaping river fish, regardless of their size, instantly disappeared into the white wolf’s terrifying blood mouth, without the action of chewing.
After eating fifty river fish, Lu Heng was finally stuffed. And he stop the power of Mountain God, the river that was rippling and churning finally calmed down.
Under the bright sunshine, Lu Heng, who had eaten and drank enough, was in a good mood.
As a wolf demon that had cultivated for two hundred years, although Lu Heng could go on without food for a long time, the maintenance of the demon body would become difficult if he did not eat all the time.
He actually did not like this way of eating.
But there was no restaurant in this Cold Feather Mountain. Even if he went down to the Shuisheng village to find offerings, he thought the offerings made by the villagers were only enough to stuff his teeth.
“Being a demon is so hard. I need to hurry up and cultivate a human form so that I can eat a big meal.” He thought.
Lu Heng turned away, and his pace was as slow as an old man walking in the park. It took a long time to return to Mountain God Temple.
Then, Lu Heng started a new round of cultivation.
