"We met along the way and guessed that you guys would leave Savage Beast Mountain Range first, so we headed towards the exit. I never expected that we would actually meet you guys here." After Chen Yan finished speaking to Guo Ming, his gaze turned towards Du Shaofu and said, "Junior brother Guo Ming, this is?"
"I forgot to introduce him." Guo Ming smiled and immediately said to Chen Yan, "This is brother Du Shaofu. If not for brother Shaofu saving us along the way, senior sister Zhu Xue and I would have been in trouble."
Subsequently, Guo Ming told everyone about the Sky Serpent Sect's Lu Kun and the White Leopard Hunting Group, causing a few Profound Talisman Sect disciples to gnash their teeth in anger. They vowed that they would properly deal with the Sky Serpent Sect and the White Leopard Hunting Group.
When Chen Yan heard that Du Shaofu had killed a Xiantian stage Mysterious Level cultivator, he could not help but take another look at Du Shaofu.
"Brother Shaofu, we are even safer now. Come with us and leave Savage Beast Mountain Range first." Guo Ming happily said to Du Shaofu. Being able to meet a fellow disciple from the same sect was naturally safer.
"Junior brother Guo Ming, I think that you and junior sister Zhu Xue do not need to trouble brother Du anymore. I'm afraid that brother Du has other matters to attend to, so let's not delay him any longer."
Just as Guo Ming's words faded, Chen Yan smiled and looked towards Du Shaofu, "Brother Du, thank you for taking care of junior brother Guo Ming and junior sister Zhu Xue. If there is a chance in the future, I will naturally thank you. Let's part ways now and not trouble brother Du any longer."
Zhu Xue's and Guo Ming's expressions greatly changed upon hearing this.
"Haha."
How could Du Shaofu not know that Chen Yan clearly did not want him to follow them, and was clearly getting rid of him after he had outlived his usefulness. He looked at Chen Yan and smiled, "Since you guys have met from the same sect, let's part ways here."
"Brother Shaofu, it's not appropriate for you to be alone. Why don't you come with us?"
Zhu Xue stepped forward and said to Du Shaofu. She was well aware of the dangers in the Barbaric Beast Mountain Range, and it was indeed inappropriate for him to be alone. Moreover, she also knew that Du Shaofu had offended the White Leopard Hunting Group and the Sky Snake Sect for her and Guo Ming's sake. It would be even more troublesome if he were to encounter those people.
"Brother Shaofu, how about we go together? I don't feel at ease leaving you alone." Guo Ming also tried to persuade Du Shaofu to stay.
Du Shaofu's unhappiness dissipated as the two of them urged him to stay. He smiled and said, "It's fine. Be careful. We'll meet again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Shaofu turned around and left. Since there were people that didn't want him to stay, Du Shaofu wasn't a person that forced others to stay. Not to mention Du Shaofu really didn't like having too many people, so he'd originally intended to leave when he saw Zhu Xue, Guo Ming, and his fellow disciples.
"Junior Sister Zhu Xue, Junior Brother Guo Ming, Brother Du probably has something else to do. Let's not force him."
Chen Yan's gaze revealed slight bewilderment when he saw Du Shaofu's departing figure. He originally thought that he would have to spend some effort to persuade Du Shaofu to leave, yet he never expected that Du Shaofu would be extremely sensible.
"Senior Brother, if it wasn't for Brother Shaofu saving us, we would probably be doomed." Zhu Xue raised her bright eyes to look at Chen Yan, and there was slight displeasure in her gaze. She knew that Chen Yan wanted to leave Du Shaofu on purpose, and how could she be unable to discern the meaning behind his words?
As he gazed at Zhu Xue's gaze, Chen Yan's gaze darkened slightly, and then he said, "Junior Sister, we'll give him some compensation if we have the chance in the future. But he's an outsider in the end, and it isn't safe for us to allow him to follow us."
"But …"
"Junior Sister, the hearts of men are sinister. You have to be careful. I'll take good care of you with me here."
Zhu Xue still wanted to say something, yet she was interrupted by Chen Yan, and he said, "Junior Sister, there's a reason why I asked Du Shaofu to leave. We noticed a place ahead that's recently filled with spirit energy, and rays of light would appear at night. It's very likely that a spirit herb of extremely high quality has matured there. It isn't good for an outsider to follow us at this moment. I think Junior Sister is able to understand me, and I'm doing this for the sake of all our brothers."
The expressions of Zhu Xue and Guo Ming changed slightly, and they seemed to be unable to find the words to refute Chen Yan. In the end, they could only keep silent.
At dusk, the glow of the setting sun dyed half the sky fiery red.
Beneath the setting sun, the line of sight within the dense forest gradually grew dimmer and dimmer.
After Du Shaofu left Zhu Xue and Guo Ming, he intended to find a place to rest for the night before continuing his journey back to Stone City the next morning. He reckoned that the beautiful woman in plain clothes wasn't within Barbaric Beast Mountain Range after so long had passed, and his drunkard father was probably worried about him as well.
As for the Du Clan, Du Shaofu sighed to himself. If it was in the past, then not to mention a month, even if he didn't make an appearance for half a year, there would probably be someone who would notice him.
At night, the clear and cold moonlight slowly sprinkled down from the horizon, and it covered the entire mountain range in a layer of light and gentle veil.
Low and deep muffled sounds resounded from within a gorge. A young man that only wore tight shorts that revealed a thin yet extraordinarily firm chest and tall shoulders could be seen. His entire body was suffused with a light golden glow, and there were faint talisman markings flowing on his skin. After that, he seemed as if he'd fallen ill, and he ceaselessly smashed himself against the stone wall.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The young man used his arms, elbows, back, chest, knees, shoulders, and every inch of his skin to continuously smash himself against the stone wall. Every time he smashed himself against it, the stone wall would tremble and crack, and a lot of broken rocks would fall down.
After a full four hours of this, the young man's entire body was covered in bruises. Only then did he stop. He withdrew his hand seals, and the faint golden glow around his body receded. The faint talisman markings also gradually disappeared into his skin.
"The cultivation method of the Golden-winged Roc is simply self-torture."
After spitting out a mouthful of turbid air, Du Shaofu couldn't help but sigh. Just now, he was constantly smashing himself without being able to use his Profound Qi. This was one of the body cultivation methods of the Golden-winged Roc. When the Golden-winged Roc was a cub, it would consume Spiritual Medicine to strengthen its body, and then it would self-torture itself by smashing itself against its entire body in order to achieve the goal of relaxing its meridians. Finally, it would allow its body to absorb the Spiritual Medicine best.
When human warriors cultivated and consumed Spiritual Medicine, they would convert the power of the Spiritual Medicine into Profound Qi and absorb it into their Divine Watchtower to strive for a breakthrough. Many Demonic Beasts consumed Spiritual Medicine and Heavenly Treasures to absorb the power of the Spiritual Medicine and convert it into Profound Qi to break through. However, the Golden-winged Roc absorbed the power of the Spiritual Medicine into its body, strengthening its body to a terrifying extent.
The body cultivation method of the Golden-winged Roc was divided into three levels. The first level was to refine its Golden Feathers, the second level was to cleanse its bones and marrow, and the third level was to refine its divine body. If it could cultivate the third level to refine its divine body, the Golden-winged Roc would become one of the most terrifying Demonic Beasts in the world.
Du Shaofu wasn't a Demonic Beast, but after cultivating the cultivation method of the Golden-winged Roc, Du Shaofu knew that he could cultivate this body cultivation method. He didn't have Golden Roc Feathers, but he had flesh and skin, which could strengthen his body's defense. As for the second level of cleansing his bones and marrow and refining his divine body, it was even easier to understand.
In the experiment just now, Du Shaofu also proved that he could cultivate the cultivation method of the Golden-winged Roc Clan. The Spiritual Medicine he had consumed came from the Xiantian Realm burly man of the White Leopard Hunting Group. After consuming the Spiritual Medicine, Du Shaofu practiced the body cultivation method in a masochistic manner. Although his entire body was in pain, as if his bones were about to fall apart, Du Shaofu could clearly feel the medicinal power of the Spiritual Medicine spreading through his skin and flesh. The medicinal power of the Spiritual Medicine that he had consumed was not converted into Profound Qi and absorbed into his Divine Watchtower. Instead, it was distributed throughout his skin and flesh. The masochistic impact just now allowed his skin and flesh to absorb the medicinal power evenly and effectively.
If someone's body could be as powerful and terrifying as the Golden-winged Roc, Du Shaofu would look forward to it. Just the cultivation just now was enough to make Du Shaofu feel that his body had become stronger again, even stronger than before.
"It seems like I have to find more Spiritual Medicine to consume in the future."
Du Shaofu thought to himself. Immediately after, he put on his clothes and packed his things. His figure was like a ghost as he left the canyon under the moonlight.
It was early autumn, and the leaves of the dense forest were beginning to turn yellow. Occasionally, there would be fallen leaves falling. Under the sunlight that shone through the layers of leaves, the fallen leaves appeared even more golden, and were very beautiful.
"Kacha, kacha …"
The five burly men walked through the dense forest. Their feet stepped on the dried branches, producing kacha kacha sounds.
"I never thought that the Third Captain would be killed. He dared to kill a member of our White Leopard Hunting Group. That guy must be tired of living."
"Some people said that the person who killed the Third Captain was a young man who was still wet behind the ears. That's not very likely."
"That young man probably has some background. In short, we just have to find that guy who is courting death, and then inform the Second and Third Captains to deal with them."
Du Shaofu's body was curled up in the bushes, and his brows were slightly wrinkled. It seemed that after killing the so-called Third Captain of the White Leopard Hunting Group, the members of the White Leopard Hunting Group did not intend to let him go. In the surrounding mountains, there were members of the White Leopard Hunting Group looking for him everywhere.
"Since that's the case, I have to strike first to gain the upper hand. I wonder if these guys have any Spiritual Medicine."
In the bushes, Du Shaofu's pupils shrank. Through the bushes, he looked at the five burly men who were passing by, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"This time, it's said that someone really got a treasure in the Barbaric Beast Mountain Range. If only I could get it."
"A while ago, during the beast tide, many corpses of demonic beasts were obtained. Luckily, our White Leopard Hunting Group came in early, so we didn't suffer any losses. After we sell those demonic beast materials, we can be considered to have made a fortune."
The five burly men walked slowly, but subconsciously, they formed a defensive circle to guard against any sudden attacks. This proved that the five of them were Demon Hunters with rich experience in the Barbaric Beast Mountain Range.
