“It wasn’t easy, after waiting for more than a decade, finally there’s a master who dares to break the rules.”
On top of a mountain.
Looking at the young boy who was constantly approaching in his direction, Jiang Hui felt an inexplicable urge to cry.
Honestly, he had never imagined that the Beast Skin woman and young Beast Skin man could live so cautiously in this area for fifteen or sixteen years, not even daring to approach him and confined their activities to their immediate surroundings.
What’s more, the two even retreated a certain distance, resettling their home by a creek.
Fortunately.
They had a disobedient son.
…
The figure of the young boy on the leaf-covered mountain road was getting closer and closer, reaching the hill where Jiang Hui was…
If he crossed here, behind this hill was the true depths.
The boy was itching to explore, but how could Jiang Hui let such an easy prey escape?
In the air.
!!..
A droplet of water, like an emerald, fell from the sky, slowly dripping onto the back of the boy’s neck. A chill instantly hit him, as if someone were whispering in his ear…
“Who is it?”
The boy was alert, quickly looking around. There were only the sounds of the wind and flowing water, no one else was there. Terminating his survey, he attributed his fears to his own overactive imagination.
“It must be because mom always talks about how terrifying the depths of the jungle are, that’s why I get so easily scared.”
The boy muttered under his breath, but the direction of his feet gave him away.
“Hiss…”
However, just as the boy turned around, a gigantic triangular snake head suddenly appeared right before his eyes…
The snake’s head was tremendously large, its scarlet-red eyes staring straight at the boy, ominously appearing like a huge red lantern hanging high, full of a strange mysteriousness, even larger than the boy’s head.
When had Lin Zhuang seen such a terrifying and exaggerated wild beast? He was so scared that he almost collapsed.
“How could there be such a horrifying creature in the depths of the Wilderness, it makes lions and tigers look like ants in comparison.”
The boy swallowed, feeling the intimidating aura emanating from the Giant Python. Regret washed over him, remorseful about not heeding his parents’ repeated admonitions.
“Hiss…”
The python didn’t care about the boy’s thoughts. Repeatedly flicking its tongue, it was getting closer and closer to the boy’s head. Lin Zhuang could already clearly smell the putrid stench emanating from the python’s mouth.
Is this the end?
Despair covered the boy’s face, and he couldn’t help but cover his eyes with his hands.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to resist, but what could he do under such a terrifying creature? It would be nothing more than a futile struggle before death!!
Even worse, his legs were already jelly from fear, and he couldn’t muster even the smallest amount of strength to fight back.
“Pop…”
Just in the knick of time.
In the air, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.
Lin Zhuang’s fingers subconsciously relaxed, revealing a pair of crystal black eyes.
What he saw was a robust and vigorous willow branch suddenly extending from a distance, striking the python’s tail like a sword.
The python yelped, its elongated tongue dropping to the corner of its mouth, then glanced back at a several hundred meters tall willow tree behind it. Fear registered on its face, it hastily fled to the side, disappearing from Lin Zhuang’s sight in an instant.
“Great acting, Little Black Python, it would be a loss not to award you an Oscar,”
Looking at the Black Python’s final expression, which was like the finishing touch on a masterpiece, Jiang Hui internally complemented it.
This Black Giant Python was none other than Little Black.
With more than ten years of development and the Body Refining Scripture, Little Black had grown quite fast, reaching over fifty meters long. Not only had its size increased, but its intelligence had grown remarkably and could understand Jiang Hui’s simple instructions fairly accurately.
The main reason it had come out to scare the boy was to cooperate with Jiang Hui and put on a show.
While others have heroes saving the damsel in distress, he had the Divine Willow saving a bratty kid.
There’s no other way, as the regulations for transferring power require the other party’s faith value to reach 60. Jiang Hui really couldn’t think of any other method, he could only resort to this.
Setting aside the 60 points of faith value for now, he must first get the youth to become his follower.
Luckily, even though the idea is trite, the results are still pretty good.
“It…It was you who saved me!!!” After surviving the disaster, Lin Zhuang looked at the place where Jiang Hui was located and rubbed his own eyes hard.
The surroundings were deadly silent, save for the slight breeze…
No one answered him.
Despite not receiving a response, Lin Zhuang was still very sure.
He could clearly see through the slits of his fingers that just as the Giant Python was about to swallow him, a Willow Branch came from the sky and whipped the body of the Black Giant Python, saving his life.
And the owner of that Willow Branch, was this towering tree hundreds of meters tall before his eyes.
“Lord Willow God above!”
As he spoke, Lin Zhuang directly knelt on the ground, and heavily kowtowed several times.
In the vast Wilderness, addressing someone with ‘God’ in their title was the utmost sign of respect from the heart. The term ‘lord’ was a courteous title, used to emphasize the same admiration felt in their heart. It doesn’t necessarily refer to a human.
…
…
In the days that followed, Lin Zhuang would sneak over every day, either to share some observations from his everyday life with Jiang Hui, or to let off steam about his rigid parents.
Jiang Hui selectively filtered the former, but he was particularly interested in the latter.
Indeed, they were quite rigid, refusing to expand their horizons for so many years.
…
Time passed in such trifle and inadvertently.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days rushed by.
That day.
Lin Zhuang still went up the mountain.
In order to avoid arousing his parents’ suspicion, the boy would catch a few hares on his way to Jiang Hui during this period.
Thanks to the hunting skills the boy learned from the Beast Skin Man, his hunts were always fruitful.
As for the Little Black Python, its size was too large, and hares or wild chickens were like a bean to it. Eating them not only didn’t fill its stomach but also got its teeth stuck, completely off its menu.
As a result, there were small animals all over this mountain range, but large animals were relatively scarce.
“Lord Willow God, this is a vegetable cake my mother made herself. It is made of grinding Ba Root Grass and Earth Beard Grass Root into flour. It tastes really good, but it can’t be eaten on weekdays except when my father caught a hundred-pound wild boar…”
The boy kept talking about the things that happened during this time. Although he was talking to himself, he enjoyed it.
Simply by leaning against the Willow God, he felt much safer.
What the boy didn’t know was that during his venting session, the number only visible to Jiang Hui above his head was rapidly increasing.
58
59
60
…
“Your second believer’s faith value has reached 60, do you want to transfer power immediately!”
Almost at the same time, the system voice rang out.
Jiang Hui had been waiting for this moment for even longer and naturally had no any hesitation.
In the endless void.
With a movement of Jiang Hui’s divine sense.
A piece of Willow Leaf that seemed to have never appeared before began to sway in the wind, then… slowly fell down…
