Chapter 11: A Head Worth Ten Carriages of Grain

  "Is this good luck on my part? Or is the Black Tower Pillar playing tricks?"

  In the canyon, Jiang Cheng stood still beside the corpse of Xue Yang's Blood Toothed Pig King, his eyes slightly closed, a look of astonishment on his face.

  In the sea of knowledge, a ferocious beastly shadow was floating behind Jiang Cheng, that appearance, was exactly another Blood Tooth Pig King.

  However, this was still not what surprised Jiang Chen the most. What surprised him the most were the four extremely bright martial soul beads on his new war soul, Blood Toothed Pig King.

  Yes, four!

  Four Battle Soul Beads, this represents Jiang Cheng's Battle Soul grade suddenly rising from low-grade yellow to high-grade yellow, becoming four times stronger.

  According to Grandpa's words, even if the war soul absorbs the war spirit subdued by the soul warrior, in general, getting one more war soul bead is already a blessing from heaven, and two beads are a heavenly gift.

  However, Jiang Cheng suddenly increased by three, almost absorbing the entire Blood Tooth Pig King's battle spirit to a hundred percent, and after the surprise, Jiang Cheng also felt somewhat strange.

  Especially at the last moment when the war soul was absorbed, it wasn't necessarily successful. Unexpectedly, the war soul and war spirit were suddenly sucked into the black tower column.

  When Jiang Cheng re-condensed his war soul and emerged from the Black Tower Pillar, he transformed into his current appearance.

  What made Jiang Cheng even more surprised was that the moment his new Blood Tooth Pig King War Soul emerged from the Black Tower Pillar, a wave of heat flowed out and spread throughout his entire body, strongly flushing his muscles and blood vessels.

  With just this one move, Jiang Cheng's body surface had already surged out a layer of pale grey impurities, replaced by an even stronger power.

  Jiang Cheng felt that with this level of skill, his body had tempered another major step forward, and his strength and speed had increased by at least 20% or more, making his combat power even stronger.

  This is still the reason why Xue Ya Zhu Wang Zhan Hun has just evolved. As long as he continues to cultivate, Jiang Cheng's cultivation will increase by a little bit, and the quality of his physical body will be stronger than before, increasing by 50% or even more than double.

  At the same level of cultivation, the stronger the battle soul, the stronger the combat power.

  Jiang Cheng didn't know how much time he had spent transforming into a Battle Soul just now. The blood aura of the Blood Toothed Pig King was incredibly powerful, and although they were in the canyon, if they stayed for too long, they would definitely attract even more terrifying ferocious beasts.

  After a brief grooming, Jiang Cheng's back had the four razor-sharp fangs of Xue Yang, the Blood Toothed Pig King, and the toughest beast hide on his back. He then climbed up the cliff towards the upper reaches of the canyon.

  When Jiang Cheng had climbed halfway, a giant bird with golden light flashing on its head swooped down towards the bottom of the valley, almost simultaneously, a black shadow leaped from above Jiang Cheng's head and landed in the valley like a spirit monkey.

  That powerful momentum shocked Jiang Cheng so much that his scalp felt numb and he hastily retreated with his hands and feet.

  After turning back at Zhuwangpo, Jiang Cheng didn't stay for long and headed straight back the way he came.

  The recent encounter made Jiang Cheng vigilant, and this Beihun mountain range was indeed not a place where he could wander around casually. Fortunately, there was Grandfather's guidance this time, and the one they met was Xueyazhu Wang. If it were one of the two ferocious beasts that Jiang Cheng had seen earlier, Jiang Cheng would have ended up here.

  With the experience of coming, the speed of return was extremely fast. By dusk, Jiang Cheng had already entered the range of Ge Mountain.

  However, after entering the range of Ge Mountain, Jiang Cheng did not want to return to his clan immediately. He had been in these mountains for more than half a month.

  The day when the White Horde is scheduled to deliver grain is not far away, and in Jiang Cheng's opinion, this trouble is largely caused by himself, so he wants to do his part for the tribe.

  The people of Gesangbu go into the mountains and leave their unique marks along the way.

  As the best hunter of the Ge Shan tribe, Jiang Cheng quickly found the marks left by his tribesmen - a few inconspicuous withered branches of different colors. But it was those inconspicuous withered branches that suddenly gave Jiang Cheng a heart-pounding and hair-raising feeling.

  Be careful, there's something abnormal!

  Following the mark, Jiang Cheng chased after him tightly, but the more he chased, the more frightened Jiang Cheng became.

  Jiang Cheng had just found the marker when it was still relatively neat, but as he chased further, the markers became increasingly disorganized, as if they were laid down in an extremely panicked state, and some of the markers hadn't even been completed.

  A large number of chaotic footprints began to appear in the mountain forest, Jiang Cheng became more and more vigilant, especially with the appearance of bloodstains on the road, which made Jiang Cheng's feet move even faster.

  Jiang Cheng smelled it and found out that it was human blood!

  "Yang Ze, do you think you can escape?" Suddenly, the voice carried by the mountain wind made Jiang Cheng's figure pause abruptly. Jiang Cheng almost like a lynx, lightly crept towards the direction of the sound source.

  "Yang Ze, don't say that Hu Xiangshan didn't give you a chance. Tell me where your stored grain is and I'll spare your life!" A loud voice entered Jiang Cheng's ears.

  Jiang Cheng's expression suddenly turned cold, those damned Tiger Clan bastards.

  The Huli tribe, like the Gesan tribe, is also under the protection of the Erzhuzi White Huren tribe and is a single pillar tribe. However, the Huli tribe has a plundering nature, regardless of whether it's a good or bad year, their favorite thing to do is to take advantage of the situation and rob other tribes' harvested grain, with extremely tense relations with the Gesan tribe, to the point where they can be called sworn enemies.

  Of course, behind this, it is very likely that there is a shadow of the White Lotus Society.

  It was Hu Xiangshan who made this happen, just like last time when Bai Hun's Bai Xiao came to demand Song Yue.

  Hu Xiangshan is the only son of the Hu Li tribe's chief and also the first genius of the Hu Li tribe. He has always been envious of Song Yue's beauty, came to propose, but was politely declined by his grandfather, and has since held a grudge in his heart, spreading rumors about Song Yue's beauty in the Bai Hun department.

  In the past, the Hu Li tribe would just rob a lone tribesman or two, but this time they actually dared to think of robbing the Ge Shan department's grain storage point.

  If it really succeeds, then it would be equivalent to copying the back road of Geshan Department!

  Transportation in the mountains is difficult, back and forth, extremely time-consuming, and batch transportation is very unsafe. Therefore, after the brave warriors in the tribe hunt for food, they will store it in a secret location, and then wait until the timing is almost right before escorting it out together.

  The Hu Xiangshan is now pressing for an answer, which is the grain storage point that Ge Shan Department has been working on in recent days.

  Jiang Cheng was hiding himself carefully, but when he saw the situation in the field clearly, he was shocked at once, and his eyes suddenly became extremely cold.

  The besieged Ge Shan tribe, including Yang Ze, only had five people, and all of them were injured. According to the custom of the Ge Shan tribe, when entering the mountain to prepare food, they would be divided into several small teams, each team led by a soul warrior, with at least six elite hunters following.

  Now there are only five people, which may mean one of them has been killed in action.

  What enraged Jiang Cheng the most was that among the five tribesmen, one of them had already had his arm chopped off. For a hunter, having his arm chopped off was even more cruel than being killed!

  And this man was Shi Tie's old father, Shi Dali. Jiang Cheng's hunting skills were mostly taught by Shi Dali himself.

  "You little mongrel, do you think it's possible? I'll give away my own kind?! If you've got the guts, come on over, your family's sheep will definitely make a profit before they die!"

  "Yang Ze, I'll give you one last chance! Even the hardest bone can't withstand the tactics of my Tiger Clan!" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth leaned against a tree trunk, chewing on a blade of grass, with a sinister look on his face. This person was none other than Hu Xiangshan.

  Upon hearing this, a hint of sternness suddenly appeared on Yang Ze's face. He turned his head to look at his own clansmen, his gaze directly staring at Shi Da Li, the crippled old man: "Old brothers, can we do it?"

  Shi Dali, with a broken arm and pale face, heavily pounded his chest: "Bird, unable to survive, but still has the skill to seek death!"

  Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng and Huo Xuan's faces changed simultaneously. As hunters who lived in the mountains, they understood the meaning behind these few words - that was to fight to the death until only one remained.

  If someone is captured alive, others must help him on his way.

  Almost at the same time, five hunters from the Kusatsu region drew their hunting knives and were about to pounce when Jiang Cheng, who was hiding behind a tree, could no longer bear it and suddenly jumped out, shouting: "Wait, Old Shi!"

  In any case, Jiang Cheng absolutely cannot watch Stone Old Man die a miserable death in front of his own eyes.

  The hunters of the Huli tribe were startled by Jiang Cheng's sudden appearance, and they quickly changed their formation, leaving seven people to surround Yang Ze and his group tightly, while three others rushed towards Jiang Cheng at high speed.

  Obviously didn't want Jiang Cheng to meet up with Yang Zi and the others.

  When they saw Jiang Cheng appear, Yang Ze and Shi Dali were first overjoyed, then shocked. Shi Dali even pointed at Jiang Cheng, stamping his foot in anger: "Jiang Cheng, you little rabbit, why aren't you hiding well? What are you doing coming out?"

  Obviously, they thought Jiang Cheng's arrival was just to send himself to death.

  Haha, Jiang Cheng, I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep! Black Tiger, take care of him for me. This little brat's head is worth ten carts of grain!

  "Perfect score!"

  A giant of a man, over two meters tall with a black face, let out a sinister laugh and suddenly burst forth, his fists radiating a faint red glow as he launched himself at Jiang Cheng like a starving tiger pouncing on its prey.

  Divine light shines through the body, fourfold blessings bestowed upon the martial artist!
