Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.9 - Entering the Blood Tree Forest
After slaughtering the wolf pack, Xiang Yang's body was drenched in blood, not his blood but the blood of the wolves he killed. Xiang Yang who was quite exhausted decided to look for the nearby river to clean himself up after burning all the corpses of the wolves.
The young man had only brought 1 change of clothes, so after cleaning himself and washing his clothes in the river, Xiang Yang dried his clothes on a large rock by the river.
After his clothes dried, folded neatly and put them into a robe, Xiang Yang resumed his journey.
On the way, Xiang Yang exterminated all the beasts that were in the citizen's farm area.
Xiang Yang killed several tigers, 1 large black bear, and dozens of other beasts. Among all of them there was absolutely no Spirit Beast, only a black bear was close to becoming a Spirit Beast.
Therefore, Xiang Yang could easily kill all the beasts.
In the evening, Xiang Yang spent the night on the tree as usual, he planned to continue his journey to the Blood Tree Forest tomorrow.
***
the next day, Xiang Yang continued on his way, the closer to the Blood Tree Forest, the more ferocious beasts Xiang Yang encountered.
Xiang Yang used more arrows this time so as not to waste a lot of energy before entering the Blood Tree Forest.
Every shot of Xiang Yang's arrow nobody missed, everything was on target. After killing the savage beast, he would take back the arrows he used, so that the number of arrows Xiang Yang had did not decrease, still remaining 50.
After many hours until the sun was already overhead, Xiang Yang finally arrived at the cot of the outer layer of the Blood Tree Forest.
Xiang Yang had already finished off dozens of ferocious beasts and several Spirit Beasts. Now Xiang Yang's hard energy was drained quite a lot, so he decided to rest for 1 hour first, before entering the Blood Tree Forest which was said to be extremely dangerous.
1 hour passed so quickly, Xiang Yang's energy had already fully recovered after consuming some herbs and pills.
"Alright, first training in the outside world, entering the Blood Tree Forest" Xiang Yang muttered with a faint smile on his lips, before darting into the forest.
"ROARH...!!"
Just now that Xiang Yang had entered for tens of meters, a loud roar sounded making Xiang Yang wary.
Looking towards the left, within about 100 meters, there was a male lion that had fangs along 1 inch.
"Newly entered has already been given a warm welcome by a peak level Body Tempering Stage 3 Lion Spirit Beast!" Xiang Yang drew his sword.
Using arrows on Spirit Beasts would be useless, as their instincts and speed exceeded that of ordinary ferocious beasts. Unless Xiang Yang can use Qi energy then it will be different story.
Xiang Yang was still quietly putting the horses in his place, until the lion was a dozen meters away, the lion roared again loudly before jumping towards Xiang Yang, swinging its sharp claws.
Xiang Yang swiftly deflected using his sword.
*trang!
Even though Xiang Yang had a hard time holding him back, he still bounced a few meters back. The young man was still maintaining his balance, not falling over.
"Indeed right! Spirit Beasts usually had physical strength that was stronger than Cultivators of the same rank!" muttered Xiang Yang, staring at the lion in front of him.
"You may think of yourself as a lion, but you're nothing more than a cat in my eyes!" Xiang Yang shouted then darted to attack the Lion Spirit Beast.
Not staying still, the Lion Spirit Beast also shot to attack so that the fight again occurred.
Although Xiang Yang only used physical strength to fight the Lion Spirit Beast who already knew how to use Qi energy, but Xiang Yang's physical strength was not something to play around with.
With the power-centering technique he possessed, Xiang Yang could amplify every single slash he emitted.
Each movement of the Lion Spirit Beast relied solely on instinct, so Xiang Yang could easily guess the direction of the lion Spirit Beast attack, but it was also not easy to land an attack on the Spirit Beast.
Even so Xiang Yang had already given quite a lot of injuries to the lion Spirit Beast's body.
The fight lasted for dozens of minutes, Xiang Yang finally managed to kill him.
This time because it was inside the forest, Xiang Yang only let the lion's corpse, because it was certain that there would be ferocious beasts coming later to eat the corpse. He also did not need to worry if his corpse was rotting because there was no way that an ordinary person would enter the Blood Tree Forest.
Xiang Yang continued on his way, quite a number of ferocious beasts he had found, but other than that, he had also found many herbs.
Time passed, now it was late at night, because it had gone deep enough into the Blood Tree Forest, Xiang Yang decided to find a cave to rest.
Xiang Yang had already caught two forest chickens as a meal tonight. Xiang Yang was quite skilled at making food, although now he did not have any cookware, it could only be burned, yet he was confident that even though he would only eat grilled chicken, Xiang Yang was quite confident in the taste.
When the sun had completely set, Xiang Yang finally found a cave behind a waterfall that was not too heavy.
Goa has a depth of 4 meters with a width of 3 meters, it is not too big but enough for him to spend the night alone.
Making a fireplace, Xiang Yang prepared all the groceries. He did not bring any cooking herbs like salt or anything like that, but the young man had already picked herbs or plants that had characteristics like food seasoning.
Examples such as salty grass which of course has a salty taste like salt, chili flowers, and others, even he also has a small bottle containing honey.
While waiting for the roasted chicken to mature, Xiang Yang thought about what his father said at dinner the day before he left.
"*Hm, Yang'er, at least if you're gone long enough, you should bring a son-in-law to dad later!" Xiang Han said excitedly, his starry eyes staring at his son.
"Dad, you look at this son of yours who can't cultivate, do you think there will be a beautiful girl who will be with me?" Xiang Yang snorted, although he actually agreed with his father's remark*.
"Well, I don't want to die a virgin for the second time either, of course I also want the tenderness of a woman's body!" saying this, Xiang Yang recalled with a beautiful girl who had pointed ears.
Who else if not Floren who was his first love in the first life.
"Hahah! Although I wish I could meet her again, but it is impossible because now I am in a different world!" muttered Xiang Yang inwardly.
Time passed, finally two roasted chickens were ready.
Just as Xiang Yang was intending to eat one, suddenly a small red snake moved slowly closer to him.
