The mountain forest at the outskirts of Xifeng City. (This chapter is uploaded by a friend.)

  Ji Ning and Mo Wu, the maid Qiuye, sat on three black panther-like beasts. The beasts resembled leopards with faint leopard patterns on their bodies and cow horns on their heads, they were extremely ferocious wild animals. They traversed mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground, moving at an extreme speed, making them excellent mounts. Of course, compared to domesticated demonic beasts, they were slightly inferior.

  Considering Ji Nings status, this mount is quite low-key.

  "West City." Ji Ning turned his head back and gazed at the distant massive city in the distance, where he had lived since childhood.

  "Go!" Ji Ning shouted.

  He kicked the black leopards abdomen with his heel, and the black leopard suddenly jumped out and ran away. Autumn leaves and Mu Wu also rode on the back of the black leopard to catch up.

  ……

  Winter goes and spring comes.

  In a mountain forest overgrown with weeds, dozens of men wearing animal skins were advancing happily, more than half of them carrying poles.

  "Uncle Dala!" exclaimed a young boy, holding a long spear and looking excited. "You didnt want to take me to Dongshanze before, saying it was too dangerous. But this time... theres no danger at all, and we can catch so many fish, enough for our tribe to eat for a long time."

  A robust man, resembling a black bear, smiled at his side: "Ah Yi, you brought us good luck. This time we went to Dongshan Ze, not one of our tribesmen died, which is rare. However, you cant underestimate Dongshan Ze because of this. Dongshan Ze is a place where numerous great demons gather on the vast land of tens of thousands of miles, and of course, the fish inside Dongshan Ze are also endless."

  "Ah Yi, this is your first time fishing with us. After a few more trips, youll know how dangerous it is. When we get back, be sure to train hard and build up your internal energy. Only then can you live a long life." A one-armed man beside him also smiled.

  "Ai is not young anymore, this time when he goes back, he should be able to find a woman for A1. Get several good hides and go exchange them with the neighboring tribe for a woman with a bigger butt who can give birth."

  "Find several more women and have some more babies."

  These men teased the young man one by one.

  Meanwhile, not far away, a luxuriant thorny bush was lurking with a black-furred monster. It had smooth hair, a soft body, resembling a leopard, with eyes that were faintly green. Its body was over two zhang long, and its mane was extremely hard, like fan-shaped sharp thorns.

  It is waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

  "This has nothing to do with you guys, Ill find it myself." Ah Yis face turned slightly red as she shouted.

  "Haha, Im embarrassed."

  The men laughed.

  Suddenly——

  "Roar!" A huge black shadow suddenly pounced out and directly attacked a tribal man walking on the edge, who was holding a long spear.

  "Theres a monster!" The tribal man let out an angry roar, his long spear thrusting forward swiftly. This one thrust, tempered by decades of inner power from years of bitter practice, possessed immense might. "Pffft!" The giant black shadows paw lightly slapped the spear, sending it askew.

  Fast.

  "Kill."

  The men of the surrounding tribes all roared and suddenly stabbed out their long spears with their hands. As a small tribe, without any profound magical techniques, long spears and long guns were favored by many people, and every day they only needed to practice simple movements such as stabbing and cutting, and after decades of bitter practice, their power was also extraordinary.

  "Hsss!" With a long spear in hand, the giant black shadow lightly jumped and pounced on the central part of this group of tribal men.

  These tribal men often go to Dongshanze to fish, so the return route is still very safe, and they rarely encounter monsters. However, they are still very cautious by nature, with the tribe members carrying loads in the center and those with stronger physical strength holding weapons on the periphery.

  "Its a Xiong beast!" The one-armed man shouted as he charged forward, swinging his single-edged sword at the massive dark shadow.

  "Oni, die for me!" Even the majestic Dala Uncle, who resembled a black bear, swung his giant axe at the massive dark shadow.

  "Kill."

  The men in the tribe were all crazy.

  The prestige of the beast they all knew, just now six strong warriors from the tribes surrounded and were easily trampled by the beasts weapons leaping into the center. This made them all understand... this beast is probably a terrifying monster that has already cultivated to the later stage of perfection. Today, its likely that several people will die.

  "Roar~~" The beast let out a deafening roar again, and this time it didnt just touch and run, but instead went into a frenzied charge.

  Clang!

  The one-armed man was directly shocked and flew away, while the most majestic Dala uncle was furious and swung his giant axe. The beast also clearly found that this giant axe human was the most threatening one, and did not care about other tribal warriors at all, but instead directly slapped its sharp claws on the giant axe, causing the axe head to turn aside but still chopping into the beasts abdomen, cutting out a huge wound. However, the beasts abdominal muscles tightened, and even the blood flowing out was very little, mainly because this axe cut was not deep enough. The beast roared and trampled the axe head with its hooves while opening its tiger teeth and big mouth to bite towards Dala uncle.

  "Big Brother Da La." Some stunned young men shouted in surprise.

  "Arrived!"

  "Arrived!"

  The men of the surrounding tribes were all anxious.

  Suddenly——

  "Whoosh!" A streak of light, like a shooting star, traversed the vast distance in an instant, piercing through the beasts skull and emerging from the back of its head, before drilling into a massive tree that required two people to encircle it, with the arrowhead protruding from the other side of the trunk.

  "Roar."

  Dala Uncle fell to the ground, and the giant body of the beast pounced on him, with fresh blood splashing all over Dala Uncles face.

  "Uncle Da La." A young boy, Ah Yi, rushed over, almost in tears.

  "Its nothing." The robust man suddenly pushed the beast and stood up, wiping his face, which was covered in blood. "This isnt my blood, its the beasts blood."

  The one-armed man also walked over to take a look, looking at the corpse of the Qilin beast and then glancing at the thick and sturdy tree beside it, his pupils shrinking involuntarily. He said in a low voice: "One arrow pierced through the hardest skull of the Qilin beast and even shot through the Black Arrow Wood... Its too terrifying. And it was during the Qilin beasts pounce that it suffered this one arrow, this archery skill is..."

  "Hes an archer."

  "Its the Godly Archers doing." One by one, the men from the tribes looked at the corpse of the Qilin beast and then gazed into the distance, determining the general direction of the Godly Archer based on the direction the arrows came from.

  Wow! Wow! Wow!

  Only three figures were seen coming from the depths of the mountain forest, and this group of tribal men looked over cautiously... Soon they saw clearly that the three people were riding three black panthers, which were walking on the rugged mountain forest as if they were on flat ground, and soon came to the front of this group of tribal men.

  "Uh..." The men of the tribe were stunned by the three people in front of them.

  Riding a majestic black beast, wearing exquisite leather clothing, yet the first person appears to be a delicate-looking young man. Next to him is an even more beautiful woman, they vowed... Their entire tribe cannot find such a stunning woman, although she is dressed in a heroic attire that cannot conceal her beauty. As for the man on the other side of the young man, he exudes a fierce aura, making the men of the tribe tremble with fear.

  "Huh." The man turned over and got off the black panther, walked to the side of the thick black arrow wood, and pulled out the arrow with a "hiss" sound.

  "Sir." The man walked up to the young man and handed over the arrow with both hands.

  Ji Ning took it over.

  Venturing out, although I have prepared a lot of arrows for myself, if one arrow is shot and not retrieved, it wont take long before there are no more arrows left. These are all very good arrows... that can be used multiple times.

  "Honorable young master." The one-armed man from the tribe stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Thank you for lending a hand to save us. We dont know what our Ironstone Tribe can do to repay your kindness, young master."

  The men of other tribes did not dare to utter a word.

  With a female servant and a male servant, wandering outside... This is obviously not an ordinary person, plus the previous title of young master. Those who can be called young masters are generally the sons of tribal leaders with tens of thousands of people, and they can be respectfully called young masters. Apparently, this young man should come from a very large tribe.

  "Which of you is familiar with Dongshan Ze?" Ji Ning asked directly while sitting on the Black Qilin.

  A group of tribal men looked at each other.

  What is this young master doing at Dongshanze? Its absolutely impossible for him to just go fishing like them, it must be very dangerous.

  "Im familiar with it." The sturdy Uncle Da stepped forward, "Ive been fishing in Dongshanze for decades and am very familiar with the place. If you want to go to Dongshanze, Id be happy to guide you there, young master."

  "Alright." Ji Ning smiled on the Black Leopards back and flipped out a piece of beast head gold, throwing it over. "You come with me for now."

  Dala Uncle took over the beast head gold and his eyes lit up instantly. This standard ten-catty heavy beast head gold was enough to make his children live a lifetime. He handed it to the one-armed man next to him: "Help me take it back, give it to my eldest son. If I die, you also help me take care of my three kids."

  "Good." The one-armed man nodded.

  "Report your name." Ji Ning said.

  "Respectful young master, you may address me as Da!" Dala Shu said respectfully.

  "Da, get on her black beast." Ji Ning pointed to the mount beside Autumn Leaf. "Autumn Leaf, come over here."

  "Yes, young master."

  Autumn leaves jumped down and immediately got on Ji Nings black beast, hugging Ji Nings waist from behind. Having grown up serving Ji Ning since childhood, their feelings were as deep as siblings, and as Ji Nings personal maid, she had long been destined to be Ji Nings woman, without any hesitation or shyness.

  Dala Shu held his breath and carefully mounted the black-striped beast. He had never ridden such a fine steed before.

  "Go."

  At Nings single order.

  Wow!

  Ji Ning and others rode the black qilin and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.

  "Uncle Dao," Ah Yi asked anxiously, "will Uncle Dala taking them to Dongshan Ze be dangerous?"

  The one-armed man nodded and said, "They are different from us. That young man must be the son of a great tribal leader, receiving the best education since childhood. The arrow he shot was probably his. He went to Dongshan Ze for the coming-of-age adventure! Its necessary to kill enough monsters, but Dongshan Ze is too big and complicated, and its impossible to figure out with just a simple map, so they asked Uncle Dala for help to guide them."

  "Coming of age ceremony? But shouldnt he still be underage?" said Ah Yi.

  "Some people look older, some just look smaller." said the one-armed man.

  Ji Ning is actually eleven years old now, and his height has also exceeded 1.7 meters, which is almost the same as in his previous life.

  "But this young master is really kind." The one-armed man sighed, "Just now when the beast suddenly attacked, if it wasnt for that young master taking action... we would have probably lost a few people, and the first to die would have been you, Uncle Dala! With a life-saving favor, you know youd have to go help him even if you were going to die. Moreover, that young master also gave us this beast head gold, weighing ten kilograms!"

  "Hurry up!" The one-armed man suddenly shouted, "Divide the corpse of the Qilin beast and carry it back."

  Fast.

  "Come."

  One by one, they drew their knives and swung their axes, quickly dismembering the beasts corpse. Afterwards, they set off once again on their journey home.
