Chapter 7: The Taste of Extreme Bitterness

  The Strongest Sword God

  At this time, Su Han's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and Su Ming's words made his heart tremble. Cultivators who leave shadows during their cultivation will be unable to erase them, and if they can't, they will have no hope of breaking through for the rest of their lives. Many talented warriors are ruined by this.

  "Can this knot be untied?" Su Han anxiously asked.

  "Just one more time, let me go to the wilderness forest to hunt beasts, I think I can use this as an excuse." Su Ming said confidently, but at this moment he was filled with regret in his heart. For that broken transfer task, he actually lied, causing Su Han to worry about him. If possible, Su Ming would have liked to beat the little spirit up.

  "Then I'll go with you, so as to avoid being captured by the enemy again." Su Han let out a sigh of relief and agreed to Su Ming's proposal.

  "Alright, let's go now. We can have a barbecue tonight and drink a whole pot." Su Ming's eyes flashed with anticipation as he spoke, then headed towards the stone house.

  After everything was ready, the two rode unicorns and rushed to the wilderness forest. Along the way, they encountered many hunting teams, but when they saw Su Han, they all bypassed him from a distance, and no one dared to get close. Su Han was a notorious fighting maniac in this area, and his strength was among the top in the Western City Prefecture.

  The Desolate Forest is the largest demon beast forest within the Tang Sect's Western City Prefecture, covering at least hundreds of thousands of kilometers. The outer periphery is home to some first to third tier demon beasts, which are the main targets for the Western City Prefecture's tribal hunting expeditions.

  In the central region, there lived some four to five-tiered demon beasts. Generally, cultivators did not dare to enter the central region of the desolate forest, because the fourth-tier demon beasts had reached the level of human congenital great perfection, and they were all pack-dwelling creatures. Even strong Tianling realm experts would avoid them when encountered, let alone fifth-tier demon beasts.

  It is said that in the heart of the desolate forest, there is a sixth-order demon beast with strength comparable to that of a human Violet Mansion cultivator. To put it into perspective, Violet Mansion cultivators are considered top-notch existences within the Tang Clan's Iron Castle - when they stomp their feet, the entire castle shakes.

  Su Han and Su Ming rode the unicorn into the desolate forest, the dense woods were a paradise for magical beasts, the forest was filled with vitality, and it was also a good place to gather spiritual energy. The magical beasts lived in the forest could grow rapidly, and the forest could also protect them to some extent.

  "Master, there is a mid-level undead snake at 4 o'clock in front of you, 300 meters away. The weak point is 7 inches from the snake's body."

  Su Ming Zheng was highly concentrated, staring around him, when the voice of the little elf sounded in his mind. With rich experience in the game, he immediately looked towards the 4 o'clock direction in front of him and locked onto the target from a distance.

  When he saw a dark brown snake over one meter long, Su Ming took in a breath of cold air.

  At this time, the dark snake moved, its body twisted, and in the blink of an eye it was over a hundred meters away, rushing straight towards Su Ming.

  A first-class late-stage demon beast, equivalent to the middle stage of human ordinary heart realm. With Su Ming's strength, he could completely kill it, so Su Han didn't make a move. He wanted to see how Su Ming would deal with this dark snake, but Su Ming didn't move at all, and the dark snake was about to bite his neck.

  "Su Ming, what are you doing?" Su Han shouted loudly.

  As soon as the voice fell, Su Han's dagger flashed in front of Su Ming, and the dark snake that attacked Su Ming was cut into two by Su Han and fell to the ground.

  Su Ming saw the dark snake suddenly split in two from head to tail, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Just as his mouth was slightly open, a black thing flew into his mouth, instantly giving him a nauseous feeling. However, the black thing had tremendous strength and didn't give Su Ming any chance to react, directly entering his abdomen through his throat, leaving behind an extremely bitter taste.

  Su Ming swallowed hard, and with the help of the little spirit, he finally got rid of the bitter taste in his mouth. He knew that what he had just swallowed was snake gall, a great tonic for cultivators.

  The snake gall must be swallowed within one second of leaving the snake's body, and it must be swallowed in one gulp, or the efficacy will be weakened.

  The gallbladder can enhance human physique and have a certain therapeutic effect, while also helping humans acquire some spiritual energy for use in battle.

  "Master, congratulations on experiencing the 'extreme bitter taste', triggering an unexpected surprise task. After completing the transformation task, your level will increase by one."

  Unexpected surprise? This unexpected only has no joy, Su Ming felt a bit helpless towards Xiao Ling's words. Just as he was about to ask what the bitter taste was, Su Huan's voice brought him back to his senses.

  "The wilderness forest is full of dangers everywhere, and you may lose your life if you are not careful. You must be in a state of combat readiness at all times, ready to strike at any moment, do you understand?"

  "Dad, I know I was wrong. It was an accident just now, and I promise it won't happen again." Su Ming lowered his head, knowing that if Su Han hadn't reacted quickly, he would have lost his life.

  Su Ming was just lost in thought because he was very curious, why the Dark Serpent's body moved and reached hundreds of meters. This question had just appeared in his mind, and before he could think about it, the Dark Serpent had already arrived in front of him.

  "It's good that you know your mistake, don't do it again next time." Su Han glared at Su Ming: "That snake gall was pretty good earlier, didn't expect to run into a python as soon as we entered the forest, looks like we're going to have a big harvest today."

  Su Han saw a daze in Su Ming's eyes, which made him have to believe that Su Ming really had a knot in his heart. At this time, he decided in his heart that no matter what, he would eliminate the shadow in Su Ming's heart.

  "Dad, next time there's something good like this, please let me know in advance so I can be prepared." Su Ming said with a forced smile.

  "This snake gall must be swallowed at the first time, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine. If I were to discuss it with you, I'm sure you wouldn't have eaten it so quickly." Su Han glanced at Su Ming.

  Su Han put the corpse of the Ming snake into a wooden box on the back of the unicorn, the corpse of the demon beast can be sold for money or eaten, so hunters will bring a wooden box to hold the prey, some rich and powerful people or those with great abilities will carry space storage devices.

  After dealing with the dead Ming Snake, the two continued to walk into the forest. The Ming Snake is the most common demon beast in the wilderness forest, they usually go out to hunt and never gather in groups, so they do not pose a threat to hunters, and are the favorite of those who first enter the wilderness forest to hunt beasts.

  After beheading the dark snake, the unicorn's pace slowed down significantly. Although these low-level demon beasts couldn't harm Su Han, he was worried that Su Ming might get attacked and something unexpected would happen. As someone who often hunted beasts, he had already caught wind of the demon beast's scent.

  Relying on his memory, Su Han quickly recalled that about a thousand meters away, there was a wolf den with seven wolves in it. The Wolf King was a mid-second-stage demon beast.

  These seven wolves are not very strong, but they work together seamlessly. Generally, no ordinary cultivator would dare to approach them unless they have achieved a full circle of cultivation. Su Han didn't take these seven wolves seriously, but he wasn't alone now; he had Su Ming by his side. For Su Ming's safety, Su Han could only head to the right and try to avoid the wolf den.
