In the dead of night, the whole mountain village fell into silence. Only the Zhou's mud house was still lit with a faint light.
The light was as small as a bean, and the dim yellow light tore through the boundless night. Wang Tianlei was lying on the small table and seemed to have fallen asleep, snoring in a low voice. Mrs. Zhou was sitting at the head of the bed with a wet towel in her hand. From time to time, she changed the water in the basin beside her and covered Little Shiba's forehead with it. She sighed from time to time.
What had happened the day before had scared her out of her wits. A black bear had rushed into her daughter's house. When her daughter was about to be eaten by the bear, Little Shiba had bravely stepped forward with a hatchet in his hand and stabbed the black bear's throat, killing it. Although he had saved her daughter, he had also been injured by the bear's paw and was still in a coma with a high fever.
Her daughter was frightened and almost had a miscarriage. However, she was lucky to have given birth to a white and chubby boy, giving her a grandson. In just one day, she was both sad and happy. She didn't know whether she should be sad or happy. However, in general, happiness was more important.
The doctor from Qingyang Market had already examined Little Shiba. Although he had eaten the bear's paw, it was not a big deal. He had only slightly hurt his muscles and bones and some abrasions on the skin, which would recover after a period of rest. However, it seemed that he had also been frightened at the same time. That night, he had a fever, which lasted for a whole day and did not subside. Mrs. Zhou could not think of any better methods except to apply cold compress with water.
Wang Tianlei, Zhou's son-in-law, was a sensible man. Today, Little Shiba had not only saved his sister, but also his parents and unborn child. For people in the mountains, this was a great kindness. Regardless of Zhou Hua's newborn son, Wang Tianlei had been busy these two days for Little Shiba. Whether it was to find a doctor in Qingyang Market or to help look after Little Shiba here, he could be said to be meticulous. He had been busy for a day and a night. Seeing Little Shiba's fever gradually subside, he felt relieved and slowly fell asleep on the table.
"People say that one who survives a great calamity is bound to have good fortune later on. I just don't know if you really have that kind of fortune!" Mrs. Zhou sighed in her heart. Looking at Little Shiba, whose eyes were closed and face was covered with sweat, her eyes were filled with a little distress, but more than that, she was confused.
"Uh, ah —!"
While Mrs. Zhou was absorbed in watching, Little Shiba, who had been in a coma, suddenly moved his face and showed a painful expression. Then, as if he was startled, his eyes suddenly opened and two clouds of golden mist flashed away. Then, he sat up on the bed.
"Little Shiba, you're awake. Are you alright?" Mrs. Zhou hurried forward to support Little Shiba's body and asked with concern. Wang Tianlei, who was dozing off, was also awakened by the noise. He opened his eyes and saw Little Shiba sitting on the bed, so he jumped up.
"Little Shiba, you've woken up. That's great! I knew you were lucky and lucky. Damn, you killed such a big black bear. I don't believe you can't make it!" Ding Hao laughed.
Having just woken up, Little Shiba's eyes were a little confused. He looked around blankly and asked, "Where … where am I?"
"You're at home!" Mrs. Zhou hugged Little Shiba and burst into tears. "You damn brat, you scared me to death … Wu … Wu …!"
Speaking of this, she could not go on. The heavy burden in her heart was suddenly put down. She held Little Shiba and cried.
Little Shiba's mind gradually became sober. After a while, his mouth was dry and his stomach was empty. His stomach walls rubbed against each other and he felt very hungry.
"Mom, I … I want to drink some water —!" He struggled and said. Mrs. Zhou hugged him so tightly that he could not breathe.
"Oh, drink water. OK, drink water!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou released Little Shiba at once. Then she remembered that her son had been in a coma for two days and had not drunk a drop of water or eaten a grain of rice. She quickly released Little Shiba and wiped her tears. She said to Little Shiba, "Well, you rest here for a while. I'll get you some porridge —!"
"Thank you, mom!" Little Shiba nodded. His throat was a little hoarse. At this time, he felt that his throat was smoking.
Seeing Mrs. Zhou leave in a hurry, Wang Tianlei had a chance to go to Little Shiba's bed. "Little Shiba, I have to thank you this time!"
"Brother-in-law?" Little Shiba was still a little confused. Seeing Wang Tianlei, he seemed to think of something and his face suddenly changed. "Brother-in-law, is my sister all right?"
"She's all right, all right. Thanks to you, both mother and child are safe!"
"Both mother and child are safe?" Little Shiba was stunned for a moment. Then he immediately understood and shouted, "My sister has given birth! I'm an uncle!"
Before his voice died away, he coughed.
"Yes, yes, both mother and child are safe!" Wang Tianlei hurriedly went up to him and patted his back. "My little ancestor, don't get too excited. If something happens to you again, I won't be able to explain it to your sister, father-in-law, and mother-in-law!"
"Hehe —!" Little Shiba chuckled and said no more. He did not dare to speak. Now, when he opened his mouth, his throat felt as if it was being torn apart. It was really uncomfortable. He just sat there listening to Wang's words of gratitude, trying to find out some information he wanted to know. Judging from the current situation, this time his efforts were not in vain.
The black bear that came down the mountain to make trouble was lying in the yard of his house. Its skin had been peeled off, waiting for the wind and snow to stop so that it could be sold at a good price in Qingyang Market. The black bear's meat had not been processed these two days. However, Little Shiba also knew that except for a small part that would be given away, most of it would be sent to the market in Qingyang Market to be sold, just like the bear's skin. Only a small part of it would be left at home for consumption.
"This boy, brother-in-law owes me a big favor. Hehe, next time I can extract benefits from him, it will be much easier!" Looking at the excited Wang Tianlei, Little Shiba was secretly happy.
At this time, Mrs. Zhou pushed the door open with a big bowl of porridge in her hand. "Come on, Little Shiba, have some porridge. You haven't eaten for a few days. Don't eat too much!"
Little Shiba naturally understood this. Wang Tianlei also stood up and said, "Mother, since Little Shiba has woken up, I'll go back first. Wait —!"
"Okay, okay, go back. Can't wait to see your son? Tell Hua 'er that Little Shiba has woken up, so that she won't worry about him! "
"Yes!" Wang Tianlei hurriedly replied and ran toward the gate of his own courtyard.

In the West Mountain Pass of Misty Mountain
The young man's body was floating with the wind, but his speed was extremely fast. In just a few ups and downs, he arrived at the West Mountain Pass, the source of the howling and scolding.
At this time, the West Mountain Pass was already a mess. Dozens of corpses were lying on the ground in disorder. There was only one fatal wound, which was the three sharp claw marks on their throats. These people were all killed with one blow and had no chance to resist at all.
Looking at the West Mountain Pass, there were dozens of people besieging a one-eyed giant wolf.
"An evil beast?!" Seeing that single-eyed wolf, the young man's eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a needle. "Good fellow, it's actually a Demonic Beast. No wonder that fierce howl contained a power that caused my heart to palpitate. Haha, I didn't expect to meet a Demonic Beast in such a remote and desolate place!"
The young man's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face became more and more radiant. In the West Mountain Pass, the One-eyed Wolf moved freely under the siege of dozens of people. Common swords and sabers slashed on its body, just like scratching an itch. Dazzling sparks splashed from time to time, but they couldn't hurt it at all.
However, his body was not without injuries. On his back, there was a sword mark that extended all the way to his right hind leg. The wound was bleeding, and it also affected his movements. Therefore, although his movements were still agile and his claws were still sharp, he could not easily break out of the encirclement.
At the same time, the young man also saw that among the people besieging the giant wolf, there were a few Level Three masters. Among them, a slightly older one was a Level Four martial artist. He held a long sword in his hand, which was full of vigor and vigor. There were still traces of blood on the blade of the sword. It seemed that the sword on the giant wolf was his masterpiece.
"You're already dozens of years old, but you've only reached Level Four. You've lived your life like a dog, but you still have the face to come here to hunt evil beasts. I think you've taken a fancy to the effect of the evil beast's Inner Elixir. It's either used to prolong your life or to improve your martial arts. Humph, do you think you're qualified to get this evil beast?"
There was a faint sneer on his face, but his body didn't move. He just stood quietly at the West Mountain Pass, watching the fight in the West Mountain Pass.
The people involved in this fight were the First Elder of the Black Dragon Triad, the altar masters of several altars, and dozens of elite martial artists of the Black Dragon Triad.
In order to kill the One-eyed Wolf, it could be said that the Black Dragon Triad had made full preparations this time. They had sent all their martial artists, none of whom was lower than Level Two. However, they still underestimated the strength and wisdom of the One-eyed Wolf. If the First Elder hadn't unexpectedly struck the One-eyed Wolf with his sword when he was attacked by the One-eyed Wolf, causing him to be seriously injured, most of them would have been lying on the ground like the others. How could they have besieged the One-eyed Wolf and exhausted it to death? Even so, the situation was not very optimistic. The One-eyed Wolf's leg was injured, so it couldn't run away. However, while they were exhausting it, they were also exhausting themselves. God knows why this beast's vitality was so tenacious. It had been nearly two hours. Even if it bled drop by drop, it would have been exhausted. However, although the One-eyed Wolf's back was still bleeding, it didn't seem to be affected at all. It was still as vigorous and lively as two hours ago, which made it difficult for them to dismount.
"First Elder, we can't go on like this. This beast's physical strength seems to be endless. It's very difficult to deal with it. If it goes on like this, we'll definitely be the first to collapse!" Xiaojin shouted at the side. Among them, his Lightness Skill was the best, so he had been doing the work of restraining and exhausting the One-eyed Wolf. Therefore, they were the most tired ones.
"Damn it, if I'm right, this beast has the bloodline of an Ancient Supernatural Beast. Now that the bloodline has awakened, it's so difficult to deal with it. However, I don't believe that we can't exhaust it to death with so many of us!" The First Elder also shouted. The long sword in his hand suddenly froze and he took two steps back. The people besieging the One-eyed Wolf looked happy, as if they had realized something. They also took a few steps back, but not far away. Dozens of people still surrounded the One-eyed Wolf, not giving it a chance to escape.
"This is — a secret skill?!"
Seeing the old man suddenly retreating, the sword in his hand stopped, and a kind of suffocating aura rushed toward them. The old man raised the Long Sword high and ran the Internal Qi all over his body. The long sword was covered with a layer of black mist, and there was a faint hissing sound. Although the sound was low, it was extremely mournful, as if there were endless resentful spirits roaring.
"It turns out to be a secret skill. This damn place is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Not only does it have an extinct bloodline inheritance, but it also has someone who knows a secret skill. Well, this secret skill seems to be very powerful. It can't be compared with ordinary secret skills. However, this person's cultivation is too low. I'm afraid he can't give full play to the secret skill's power!" The young man slightly raised his eyebrows and was surprised by the power of the old man.
Indeed, it was impossible for a Level Four warrior to give full play to the secret skill's power.
The so-called secret skill was an independent branch of martial arts in this world. Basically, each secret skill had to be matched with a unique method of running strength and Qi. The method of running strength was called technique, and the method of Qi Circulation was called mental cultivation method. The essence of the secret skill was to combine the Internal Qi and the strength of the body, and use a unique method to perform a kind of movement. In a sense, it was a bit like the big moves that Little Shiba used to play in the arcade games. It was a move that gathered all kinds of techniques and had great power.
Of course, great power was only one of the three major features of the secret skill.
The three major features of the secret skill were great power, great burden, and great consumption.
There was no need to mention the great power. If the secret skill was used well, it could enable the warrior who knew the secret skill to have the ability to challenge someone at a higher level. For example, if a Level Four warrior knew a secret skill, he might be able to defeat a Level Five or even a Level Six warrior who did not know the secret skill. Of course, if the opponent also knew the secret skill, it would be hard to say.
Great Burden referred to the fact that using a Secret Skill placed a great burden on the body. A powerful Secret Skill would usually cause damage to the body after being used once. It would be impossible to use it again for a long period of time. Otherwise, even if it was used, it would cause great damage to the body, even crippling it for life.
Great consumption and great burden were the same. Often, after a secret skill was used, the Internal Qi in the body would be exhausted. Therefore, in general, no matter what kind of secret skill it was, there was only one move. If the move failed, it would be difficult to fight again, and even escape would become an extravagant hope. Therefore, even if one knew the secret skill, no one would use it until the last moment.
Moreover, the secret skill, as the name suggested, was very secretive. Each secret skill had its own unique strength. It was a trump card in the hands of a few people, and only a few people could understand this method. Moreover, the more powerful the secret skill was, the more profound the cultivation method was, and the more difficult the cultivation process was. In this small place near the Misty Mountain, in the eyes of the young man, basically no one would know the secret skill.
But the old man in front of him knew it, and it was a very mysterious secret skill. "I don't know how he got it. Looking at his sword momentum, the power of this secret skill should be great. I don't know whether the evil beast can cope with it or not!"
As an evil beast, the One-eyed Wolf was born with a much stronger spiritual mind than human beings. After the crowd retreated, it had already found that the situation was not right. It did not take this opportunity to rush out of the encirclement. On the contrary, its whole body stopped, and the muscles all over its body contracted, making an attacking posture. The green hair all over its body suddenly stood up and nailed to its body like steel needles. It made a hissing sound when it breathed, and two wisps of white gas circulated back and forth between its nostrils.
"Ho —!" The old man suddenly exhaled and shouted. He fiercely stabbed the One-eyed Wolf with the long sword in his hand. Almost at the same time, the One-eyed Wolf also moved. Its calf-sized body sprang forward and turned into three shadows, roaring and pouncing on the old man in three directions.
The shadow in the middle was facing the black and white Sword Qi of the old man. Almost in the blink of an eye, it was chopped into nothingness by the Sword Qi. The other two shadows were not affected and pounced on the old man from the left and the right.
The old man was not flustered at all. With a pull of the sword in his hand, the black and white Sword Qi that he had just slashed out split into two, one black and one white Sword Qi. They attacked the two wolf phantoms respectively. The speed of the Sword Qi was extremely fast. With a shrill cry, it struck the two phantoms before they could reach the old man.
"Howl —!"
The Sword Qi and the shadows of the wolves collided and disappeared almost at the same time. After the two shadows of the wolves disappeared, the One-eyed Wolf finally let out a reluctant roar and showed up one foot in front of the old man. Its body slowly fell down with blood gushing out of three deep wounds.
"Whew —!" Seeing the One-eyed Wolf fall down, the old man heaved a sigh of relief. His body also fell from the air and collapsed on the ground.
"First Elder —!"
"Don't worry about me. Hurry up, kill him and take his Inner Elixir!"
The old man fell to the ground. Seeing the crowd surrounding him, he quickly shouted. Black blood flowed out of the seven apertures on his face. At the same time, drops of blood seeped out of his exposed skin. That sword strike just now had almost exhausted all the energy and inner Qi in his body.
"Yes —!" The crowd hurriedly said and rushed to the One-eyed Wolf, ready to kill, dismember, and take his Inner Elixir.
"You can't kill him, you can't kill him!"
A clear voice sounded. Then, a white shadow flashed out and instantly circled around the crowd around the One-eyed Wolf. After the shadow stood still, dozens of elites, including the five altar masters of the Black Dragon Triad, all fell on their backs, with a finger-sized bloody hole on their foreheads.
"This is a treasure. You can't kill him!"
The white shadow stopped. It was the young man who had been watching the scene. He flicked a tiny drop of blood from his left fingertip and looked at the fallen First Elder with a smile.
"The secret skill you used just now is not bad. I didn't expect to meet someone who knows secret skills in this small place. Not bad, not bad. Hand over the secret skill you practiced, and I'll leave your corpse intact!"
