"Brother …"
"Big brother … can you hear me..?" The familiar yet downcast and delicate voice from the dream echoed in Su Ming's head once again, refusing to disappear even after a long time had passed. His unconscious body trembled lightly, as if he was struggling against something.
"Brother, I'm waiting for you …"
Just as the call reached its strongest point, Su Ming snapped out of his stupor. His eyes were lifeless as he stared at the wall before him blankly for a moment. His mind was interrupted by excited screeches. He turned his head around and saw Xiao Hong pouncing on him excitedly, scratching his body.
Xiao Hong had woken up a long time ago. It was only unconscious and did not suffer any physical injuries. Once it woke up, it was very worried about Su Ming and waited anxiously by his side.
Now that Su Ming had woken up, it was excited.
Su Ming looked at the little monkey and smiled. However, there was a hint of confusion hidden within his smile. The dream had appeared for the second time …
Su Ming took a deep breath and shook his head, forcing himself not to think about that strange dream anymore. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the seemingly normal black stone hanging on his neck.
As he touched the stone, Su Ming's eyes gradually lit up.
He had already personally experienced the changes brought to him by the black stone fragment. The creation of the Scattering Dusts had increased his training speed by a large margin, and due to the red medicinal pill being created by accident, Su Ming had also gained complete control of the situation during the battle of life and death.
"I still need to create more pills … In that strange place, I only saw a door but there were 15 small holes on the door. I was hesitant because I didn't have enough pills but now I want to know what will happen to the door once I give away 15 Scattering Dusts …" Su Ming mumbled to himself.
"I also need to create more Scattering Blood. This pill … is my trump card!
'Also, I need to go back to the tribe … It's been a long time since I went back. The elder hasn't made much progress in his training over the years. Perhaps Scattering Dusts will be of help to him.' Su Ming stood up in silence. Once he moved his body, most of the fatigue in his body disappeared.
He braced himself and immersed himself in the quenching process once again. He also continued training the blood in his veins. However, there were some parts of his body where his blood flowed unevenly. It was not as smooth as before. Su Ming guessed that it was due to the hidden injuries he sustained when he broke through the first level of the Blood Solidification Realm. It would be difficult for him to recover within a short period of time.
A month passed by in the blink of an eye. During that time, Su Ming went out a few times and even asked the little monkey to help him gather herbs.
It was especially so for the red herb used to create Scattering Blood. Su Ming even went to collect two of them. He originally wanted to collect more, but he could feel a sense of danger from that place. After some hesitation, he decided not to be greedy.
Using a large amount of herbs, Su Ming spent the entire month training his Qi without eating or sleeping. He also created medicinal pills. The muffled sounds often echoed in the cave.
One morning a month later, when the sky was just turning bright, Su Ming gave the little monkey a few words and went down the mountain alone, disappearing into the forest.
In the forest, Su Ming, who had reached the second level of the Blood Solidification Realm, was incredibly fast. He dashed through the snow like a flash. Before noon, he had already passed through the forest and appeared outside Dark Mountain Tribe. As he looked at the tribe in the distance, a smile appeared on Su Ming's face.
'It's been a while since I last came back …' Su Ming strode towards the tribe. It was still the same in the tribe. There were many children playing around. Some of the tribe members were even sparring against each other.
Su Ming's return caught the attention of some of the tribe members. After all, he had been gone for a long time. They greeted each other with smiles on their faces.
"Su Ming! You're finally back! Where have you been for such a long time? " Su Ming patted a child's head. Just as he was about to go to the elder's place, a hearty voice came from behind him.
When he turned his head to take a look, he saw that the one who had spoken was a well-built large man. However, his somewhat young face revealed that he was not very old. He was Lei Chen.
"Hmm?" Su Ming looked at Lei Chen. He could clearly feel that the Qi in Lei Chen's body was incredibly strong. It seemed to be even stronger than the Berserker from Black Mountain Tribe he had killed with Scattering Blood.
"You're about to reach the fourth level of the Blood Solidification Realm?" Su Ming asked in surprise.
Lei Chen grinned and walked to Su Ming's side. He spoke in a low voice.
"I feel like I'm about to reach a breakthrough. Hehe, the elder said that the Berserker Blood in my body is very pure. If I have enough time, I can even reach the elder's level." As Lei Chen spoke, his eyes were filled with excitement. Soon, he was stunned. He looked at Su Ming carefully and suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief. He was about to speak.
"Come to my place tonight. We'll talk then. I'll go and find the elder first." Su Ming knew what Lei Chen wanted to say. He smiled and walked towards the elder's house.
Looking at Su Ming's back, Lei Chen was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head and mumbled to himself. He still could not understand what was going on, but he remembered that he had to go to Su Ming's place tonight.
As he approached the elder, Su Ming's footsteps slowed down. There was a slightly anxious look on his face. Su Ming respected the elder who had raised him since he was young and taught him how to be a man. To him, the elder was like a grandfather. That kind of feeling could not be expressed with words.
He did not want to lie to the elder, but there were some things that he could not tell him completely, such as the stone on his neck … Su Ming was not young anymore. He could tell that if anyone knew about this, then it would not just be a disaster for him, but for the entire tribe.
He could not tell them.
Su Ming took a deep breath and stood outside the elder's house. He did not go in immediately. He could faintly hear voices inside. It seemed like there were a few people discussing something.
After waiting patiently for a while, the door to the elder's house was opened, and three men walked out. The three men were built like small hills, and when they appeared, Su Ming could clearly feel a strong pressure coming from them. The appearance of the three men even stirred up Su Ming's Qi, making him feel as if he was about to be swept away by a storm.
Su Ming took a deep breath and instinctively took a few steps back. The leader of the three men was the tribe leader of Dark Mountain Tribe. When Su Ming first saw him, he did not feel much about him. He only knew that he was the strongest person in the tribe besides the elder.
But now, Su Ming had the power of the second level of the Blood Solidification Realm. When he saw the tribe leader of Dark Mountain Tribe again, the feeling he felt was much stronger than before.
In his eyes, the Qi within the tribe leader of Dark Mountain Tribe was so strong that it could shake the sky and earth. With the barely discernible mark on his face, it gave people a terrifying feeling.
Su Ming also knew the two people beside the tribe leader. The man on his left was also in his forties. There was a faint mark in the shape of a scorpion on his face. The Qi within his body was so strong that it was second only to the tribe leader of Dark Mountain Tribe.
The man's arms were also long and he carried a huge bow on his back. For some unknown reason, when Su Ming saw the bow, he felt as if he could hear countless cries of pain. It made him feel fearful.
The man was the Head of the Guards of Dark Mountain Tribe!
The Head of the Guards was not a name. It was a title passed down through generations. There could only be one Head of the Guards in each tribe. It was a title given to the strongest archer in the tribe.
The last person was the man on the right of the tribe leader of Dark Mountain Tribe. He was a man in his thirties. He had a wooden expression on his face and did not smile. His eyes were always squinted. Only a glint could be seen through the gaps of his eyes. It was difficult to see his pupils clearly.
He was the chief of the hunters in Dark Mountain Tribe. He was in charge of all matters related to hunting in the outskirts of Dark Mountain Tribe. His name was Shan Hen!
These three people could be said to be the strongest people in the tribe besides the elder!
Su Ming took a deep breath and quickly bowed to the side.
The tribe leader of Dark Mountain Tribe was frowning. It was clear that the conversation with the elder was not pleasant. He did not look at Su Ming when he walked out of the house. Instead, he walked past him.
When the Head of the Guards with the bow saw Su Ming, a smile appeared on his face. He nodded and left with the tribe leader.
As for the chief of the hunters, Shan Hen, Su Ming did not seem to exist in his eyes. He did not even look at him and walked past him.
Once the three of them left, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes and a hint of uncertainty appeared in his eyes. He was puzzled. Even Lei Chen could sense the Qi in his body, so why did the powerful Berserkers from the three tribes not notice it?
"I'm the one who helped you hide your Qi. Why aren't you coming in? Why are you still standing outside?" Just as Su Ming was feeling puzzled, the elder's stern voice came from within the house.
Su Ming lowered his head and walked into the house.
"You also know that you're back." The elder was dressed in linen clothes, and his hair was still tied with many small braids. His face seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life, but his eyes were extremely bright. Even though his tone was stern, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.
Su Ming mumbled a few words and lowered his head, not daring to speak.
"If you're so good, then you can stay away for months and forget about me. Hmph, raise your head and let me see you." There was dissatisfaction in the elder's voice.
Su Ming's face was bitter as he lifted his head and looked at the elder.
"Elder …"
Before he could finish speaking, the elder, who was sitting cross-legged across him, suddenly narrowed his eyes. He lifted his right hand and seized Su Ming. Su Ming could not help but take a few steps forward, and the elder's right hand pressed against his chest.
A gentle force seeped into Su Ming's body. Once it fused with his blood, it started circulating in his body. In an instant, it healed the hidden injuries that Su Ming did not even notice. It also healed the hidden injuries he suffered when he risked his life to reach the second level and went out to kill people before he could stabilize his cultivation base.
When the elder withdrew his right hand from Su Ming's chest, Su Ming trembled. Without hesitation, he immediately took out a medicinal knife and cut open a wound on his arm. Immediately, black blood flowed out from the wound. There was a faint stench in the air.
"You haven't even stabilized your cultivation base and you went out to kill people. You've really grown." The elder looked at Su Ming's actions and the praise in his eyes became stronger. Even so, his tone did not soften. Instead, he took out a dark green bottle and handed it to Su Ming.
Black blood flowed out from the wound. Su Ming immediately felt refreshed. He took the bottle and opened it. He dipped his finger into the liquid and smeared it on his wound.
