Indestructible Primordial Spirit

  The next day, Lu Bu had already finished training in the daily five animal imitation boxing, standing stake and walking frame, and after washing up, he started eating. Wang Lishou only walked out of the wooden house with a lazy face, and beside him was a woman who looked pretty good and charming.

  What made Lu Buqi's hair stand on end was that Wang Lishou actually shared a kiss with the woman before parting ways. Moreover, his footsteps seemed somewhat ethereal, yet he still had an air of reluctance about him as he watched the woman leave.

  "Is she Yunniang?" Lu Buqi felt a bit helpless: "I'm thinking, can we still set off today?"

  "Haha... you're also very pleased, aren't you?" Wang Lishou looked at Lu Buqi with a lewd smile: "I heard that Ming Yan arranged for you to have a tender and delicate little virgin, how does it feel?"

  Lu Buqi's forehead floated up a few black lines, not wanting to entangle with this old lecher in this aspect: "I don't want to encounter the beast today, my feet are trembling... You hurry and prepare, we should also set off."

  "Are you leaving?" Wang Leshou slightly furrowed his brow, the treatment he had received over the past few days made him feel extremely pleased, compared to when he was in the dense forest of Guo Yan, drinking blood and fighting for his life, it was countless times more comfortable. Ming Yan really understood things too well, making that young heart of his, which loved life, reborn once again.

  "Are you still planning to settle down here?" Lu Buqi smiled wryly and said, "Master Wang, the woman in Guozhen Town shouldn't be worse than Ze Nü's mother, right?"

  Wang Leshou's expression was slightly stunned, and he immediately shook off the awkwardness: "Ah, that's natural, that's natural... Then I'll wash my face, eat something, and leave, just leave!"

  Just then, Ming Yan hobbled over with the help of his crutch, but with a clear and refreshing expression: "Master Wang, Brother Chidi, why don't you take a good rest?"

  "If you rest any longer, it will be dark!" Lu Buqi replied: "Let's wait for Master Wang to eat something and then we'll leave. Thank you for your hospitality these days..."

  "We don't often have such noble guests visiting our humble abode, so please don't mind the simple arrangements. Ming Yan smiled and asked: "Has Da Dong already sent over the guillotine and large bow, along with all the other necessary items?"

  Lu Buji nodded and said: "You people from Xiyaoju are very efficient in doing things, they have already sent it to me."

  "That's good......" Ming Yan nodded: "I won't forget, brother. You gave me a piece of Heart Core and helped me get through this difficult time. I'm deeply grateful and can never repay you..."

  He paused, and Ming Yan reached behind his back to pull out a short sword about one foot long: "This short sword was unexpectedly obtained by me several years ago while hunting, it never rusts, and is extremely sharp. It's just a bit short, not as practical as a beheading knife, usually I use it to dissect prey, I think you and Master Wang still have a very long and dangerous road ahead of you, so I'll give this short sword to you, hoping it can help you both arrive safely in Guo Town."

  "Let me take a look..." Wang Lishou was a blacksmith, and naturally had a special fondness for weapons. He lightly plucked the sword body, and in his ear he heard a faint sound like a dragon's hum: "Good sword, this material I've never seen before, it can absolutely be called a treasured sword. Unfortunately, it's indeed too short..."

  Lu Buqi didn't like hypocritical things, at first he thought Ming Yan was just saying polite words, but now seeing Ming Yan suddenly taking out such a sharp object, Lu Buqi couldn't help but be greatly surprised, standing up: "Ming Yan, I'm afraid this is your treasured item?"

  Lu Buqi knew that in the dense forest of Guazhan, a good weapon for a Ze Nu was equivalent to a second life. So he went all out to get the beheading knife, even offering a heart core, and with the good treatment he had received these days, Lu Buqi vaguely felt it was worth the price, but he didn't expect Ming Yan to have this move.

  "Haha……I like it, but the treasure sword is for a hero!" Ming Yan took a deep breath and sincerely handed it to Lu Buqi: "Brother Buqi, I know that you are different from us, you will have a day of great success. It's my honor to befriend you, so I give you this sword, first to express my gratitude, second, also to hope that you will work hard and bring glory to our humble village of Gu Yan!"

  "I'm no hero!" Lu Buqi's heart was scorching, but he didn't pretend to be modest. He took the short sword: "However, I'll remember this favor of yours, thank you."

  Lu Buwei didn't make any promises, after all, many things hadn't been done yet and it was meaningless to just talk about them beforehand. However, in his heart, he had already put Ming Yan in the category of friends, and if he achieved success in the future, he would definitely not disappoint him.

  The two of them, fully prepared, set out on their journey once again under the gaze of Ming Yan and the entire household. The two of them didn't look back, nor did they notice that a faint pain had appeared on Ming Yan's face, while a small tear rolled down from the corner of Xiao Cao's eye.

  All the way, Lu Bu was playing with that short sword. For this sword, which is not sharp but has a strong killing intent, and its body has strange patterns, he couldn't help but love it more and more. He had tried it out before, and under this short sword, even hard ironwood was like tofu - one poke would make a hole, one slash would make a smooth crack.

  Moreover, on the road, they encountered a wild boar. With a flick of Lu Bu's wrist, his short sword shot out and directly struck off one of the boar's tusks, deeply embedding itself in the boar's brain, killing it with one hit.

  If it weren't for the preciousness of the beheading knife, Lu Buqi even wanted to use the knife to test the strength of this short sword. However, in the current test, it can cut hair and break bones with ease.

  Wang Leshou repeatedly praised that this was a good sword, and seeing the short sword not stained with blood, his eyes widened: "This short sword is absolutely from a famous family, I am unable to manufacture such a high-quality thing, and it has obviously been around for some years. However, I don't know how it ended up being left behind in this dense forest."

  Thinking of the willow tree below, there's another cave heaven. Lu Buqi slightly shrugged his shoulders: "This dense forest is so big, it's possible that before our Zelan tribe settled here, other tribes had lived and left behind one or two weapons, which is quite normal."

  Wang Leshou nodded and said, "It seems that we can also pay more attention along the way, maybe we can pick up some treasures too. That way, it won't be a waste for us to take this trip."

  If such a dangerous journey were to be accompanied by some thoughts of treasure hunting, it would indeed make people's hearts more balanced. Lu Buqi smiled lightly and didn't say anything, cutting off the wild boar's hindquarters and two legs, wrapping them in palm leaves, and continuing on their way.

  "Right, don't waste it. I think this short sword is also a treasure, so let's not let the treasure gather dust. Why don't you give it a name?" Wang Lishou was indeed a blacksmith, and he had his own obsession with weapons.

  Lu Buji heard the words and was also moved in his heart, and immediately blurted out: "This sword is so short and small that it can probably be hidden in a fish's belly, why not just call it 'Fish Intestine'!"

  "'Fish Intestine Sword?' Wang Lishou's eyes lit up: 'Although it's common, it really does have some meaning to it, not bad.'"

  Lu Bu's mouth slightly curled up, and he secretly thought to himself that he hoped Ou Yezi wouldn't get angry. This was just a small trick of his to pay respects to the deceased Earth after all.

  With the addition of the fish-intestine sword, two beheading knives, two large bows and eight spears, Lu Buqi and Wang Lishou's equipment was undoubtedly much better than when they first left Xīběi Hù. Along the way, it could be said that their momentum was unstoppable, whether it was bears or the increasingly appearing giant pythons and anacondas, no wild beast could block their path, even if they encountered a spiritual beast again, the two of them probably wouldn't be as miserable as before.

  Before long, more than two months had passed, and the two of them had been through wind and rain, fighting to the death. Finally, they saw the sign that marked the outer reaches of the Guoluo River, which symbolized the living area outside the dense forest. The Guoluo River was about 50 meters wide on average, with frequent flooding, and was undoubtedly the last natural barrier for those who wanted to leave the dense forest. However, once they crossed the Guoluo River, it would be the living area of Guoluo Town.

  Before that, Lu Buqi and Wang Lishou had gone through two villages, one was Zhongcun Village, and the other was Nankou Village. The villagers of these two villages undoubtedly admired Lu Buqi's ability to get through the dense forest with Wang Lishou, and the reputation of Lu Buqi, the new head of Xibei Village, would surely spread throughout the dense forest.

  "What's the water like?" When Wang Lishou asked, Lu Buqi looked at the rapid river and frowned: "Even if the water quality is good, it's impossible to swim across with so many precious beast skins and goods. It's better to go upstream, even if there's no bridge, there will be shallower places."

  Thinking of the huge package on both of them, Wang Lishou, who had darkened by more than half a year, smiled and said, "It's also, I almost forgot about this matter, let's go..."

  After marching forward for another two and a half days, the two of them finally found a place with relatively good terrain by the riverbed. Even so, it took the strength of nine cows and two tigers for the two of them to successfully wade across.

  One by one, the wet beast skins were spread out, and after counting, there were eight complete beast skins shining with a dazzling luster in the sunlight. Looking at these eight fine beast skins, Lu Buqi and Wang Lishou's eyes shone with joy of harvest. In addition to the giant ape beast and silver wolf beast they hunted down before entering Xihuaiguan, the two had successfully killed six more fine beasts in their remaining days.

  Seven pieces of heart nucleus, eight superior products made of fine beast skin. Even Wang Lishou, who claimed to have seen the world, thought that this was a delightful thing in his heart. In his opinion, his entire ironwork shop and all his weapon reserves were not worth as much as these.

  "Really tired... Time for a rest!" Wang Lishou took off the leather cuirass on his body, revealing a large patch of chest hair, and lay down by the river...

  Lu Bu's mouth slightly curled up, and he was about to untie the bear skin armor on his body, but suddenly he was startled, because he heard a mournful and urgent cry for help, which sounded like it came from a woman.
