Jiang Hui became even more robust and imposing, reaching a height that was almost comparable to a mountain range.
And somehow, two new inhabitants had started living within the gigantic canopy of his tree.
The first was a hive of bees buzzing and flitting about all day. Each one was the size of a fist, emanating a dazzling golden glow, and the stinger on their tails was as hard as meteorite iron, allowing them to effortlessly pierce through rocks. Even the Ferocious Ape Body Treasure Technique couldn’t withstand their attacks for long.
The second was a pair of crows blanketed in pitch-black feathers, a male and a female. When they spread their wings, they resembled eagles. They had built a nest at the very top of the tree canopy. Aside from eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping, they were constantly cooing to one another, pouring affection on Jiang Hui.
These crows were quite extraordinary. They had a third eye in the center of their foreheads that reminded one of the crows from the world of ice and fire. However, they were several times larger and more domineering.
Their third eye could emit an attack akin to the aurora, beautiful and deadly. The responsibilities of these two new groups of inhabitants were clear; one lived at the start of the canopy, and the other near the tree trunk. They coexisted in peace, neither bothering the other.
However, Jiang Hui could sense that the bees, aggressive as they were, seemed to fear the three-eyed crows and would always avoid them.
When the sunset bathed the dark ocean waves, it was time for the entrance of
Liu Village.
A row of large cauldrons was brought out, lined up in orderly manner. Under each cauldron was a pile of crackling firewood. Boiling water along with various herbs and poisonous insects were being added to the cauldrons by a few older villagers.
These were the ingredients for the old clan leader’s ancient medicine recipe. A lot of the ingredients were poisonous. If they were boiled separately, it could even knock out a one-horned elephant, but when mixed together, the poisons counteracted each other and didn’t cause any harm to the body.
Besides these ingredients, ground beast bones were also sprinkled in. Additionally, if the organs and True Blood of ferocious beasts were added, it would turn this mix into an excellent body-soaking medicine. Even if one didn’t work out regularly, soaking in it daily and persisting for half a month could grant them the strength of hundreds of kilograms, permitting them to hunt large beasts.
“Father, must I get in?”
Yet, to the group of children, this seemed as if they were about to be cooked. The metallic smell and steaming heat of the concoction made them want to run away, but they were quickly suppressed by their parents and thrown into large cauldrons like drenched chicken.
The temperature inside the cauldrons was high, but with the integration of the Ferocious Beast’s True Blood, it wasn’t enough to burn the children; it merely looked boiling to the naked eye.
Despite this, the children were still wailing, faces distorted into pained grimaces and their cheeks flushed bright red. Instinctively, they tried to leap out of the cauldron but were held down.
“Dog Egg, stay still for your mother! If you dare to cheat or play tricks, I’ll disown you!”
Dog Egg’s mother, Yu Fen, was holding Dog Egg down with one hand while her eyes continuously darted to the bronze cauldron next to her.
Look at De Quan, he’s calm and composed, not once refusing to participate. Unlike her unlucky child who cries so loud it could draw wild wolves, killing her with worries.
“Add the brain of the Jiao Snake!”
Beside the big cauldron, Old Man Lin gestured grandly, taking a large ceramic bowl from Lin Zhuang and pouring its contents— a thick black substance— directly into the cauldron.
This was the brain of a Jiao snake. Extremely precious, it was even more valuable than True Blood.
Currently, among the whole Liu Village, only Tu Wa Zi had the privilege to use the object. As for Lin Xin Tong and the others, they were past the appropriate age. So, using it wouldn’t give substantial results, and it would be quite wasteful to use such a valued item on them.
“Buzz-”
The instant the Jiao Snake’s brain marrow entered the Big Pot, a visible effect burst forth with a dark glow rushing out. Suddenly, it morphed into the shape of a Jiao Snake, baring its fangs and grinning at Tu Dequan amidst the pot, showing a terrifying demeanor with its ferocity at peak!
Lin Xin Tong stepped forward, with runes glowing in the palm of her hand. She slapped the Jiao Snake apparition back into the pot. The Jiao Snake transformed back into the brain marrow, which was then absorbed by Tu
Dequan.
This was a special treatment only a genius in the village could enjoy, instantly arousing extreme envy among the parents of the rambunctious children around.
However, they had nothing to complain about. It has always been like this in the Wilderness since ancient times. Survival of the fittest, the weak are food for the strong. If one wanted better resources, they had to strive with all their might to acquire them.
They had to soak in the medicine bath for over two hours. When the time came, the misbehaving children of Liu Village were fished out from the Pot. They looked miserable, completely like drenched chickens.
Many had numb expressions, as if two hours within the pot felt like two centuries. They had a speechless “heartbroken” feeling of seeing the light of day again.
However, soon these mischievous children were captivated with the changes in their own bodies.
Not only did their physiques become more well-proportioned, but their strength had also increased considerably. They could now carry immense stones that they previously had a hard time lifting, multiple times without effort.
“Give me a few more cauldrons, I think I can boil a bit more. I, Dog Egg, am like the Great Emperor!”
One of the mischievous children patted his chest and yelled out in high spirits. “Oh my God, Dog Egg, you’ve finally made your mom proud. Clan Leader, do we have any more Ferocious Beast Blood? Can you boil another pot for my Dog Egg?”
Dog Egg’s mother was ecstatic.
“Mom, I was just joking. Please don’t take me seriously. If you boil me again, I might just get overcooked!”
Dog Egg’s lips twitched fiercely. He didn’t expect his own mom to actually take it seriously, he hurriedly bolted off without minding anything else.
If he’s caught, he might not die but would most likely lose a layer of his skin!
Tu Dequan was also fished out of the Pot.
The aggressive Jiao Snake’s brain marrow felt like being skinned alive with each cut, the pain unbearable. He almost couldn’t resist crying out.
However, the subsequent increase was also the most evident. His strength has reached the boundary of thirty thousand catties, his body was even more slender and strong as before, his bones rattled like a thunderous roar. He visibly grew by about five to six centimeters, his skin was white and radiant which drew many young girls’ glances and fluttering eyelashes.
“Detection of 80% population within the host’s territory received different degrees of life layer enhancement. The system will be upgraded for three days and a new monthly feature will be activated after three days – Summon!” Atop the mountain, Jiang Hui was delightfully observing the naughty children of the village when suddenly, a dull voice resounded beside his ear.
His Golden Finger, activated for such a long time, responded to him for the first time.
Jiang Hui was shocked and had a hint of joy accompanying him. (I want to tell everyone that starting tomorrow, the first round of recommendations for this book will begin.
