Over several days, Chu Feng roamed the vast primeval mountains. It was as if he was undergoing a transformation—from being nervous, sweating coldly, and unable to stand the sight of blood, he gradually became calm, composed, and able to survive in the primitive deep mountains, engaging in fierce battles and living well.
He continuously practiced his punches, consolidating them, comprehending all nine styles of the Bull Demon Fist.
In the mountain, giant trees flourished, ancient and towering, blocking out the sky. Chu Feng moved through them; this time, the yellow cow did not follow, leaving him alone.
"Kra!"
A bird's cry exploded like thunder beside his ears. In mid-air, a black raptor swooped down rapidly, bringing with it a gust of wind.
This was an entirely jet-black giant bird, about ten meters long, resembling cast iron, with a cold metallic luster even on its claws, extremely sharp.
Crack!
Chu Feng dodged behind a massive rock weighing thousands of pounds. Those large claws actually cracked the boulder, a terrifying scene.
The eyes of this black raptor were blood red, cold and brutal, clearly very fierce at first glance.
It was big enough to tear apart elephants!
Whoo...
The strong wind billowed, and it dived again, disregarding the forest. Its hard black feathers, like steel, snapped some giant trees in half, scattering leaves everywhere.
Chu Feng felt no fear. Through these days of training, he seemed reborn. Walking on this primeval land, he was cool-headed and fearless, decisive and brave.
A fierce battle erupted, lasting a full fifteen minutes.
Finally, Chu Feng leapt up fiercely, meeting the raptor that viciously attacked from mid-air.
At this moment, the nine punch seals unfolded like the Overturning Heaven Seal, powerful and domineering, seemingly capable of breaking through everything, landing heavily on the black raptor's chest.
Those feathers, like dark gold, instantly burst open on its chest, flying everywhere. The fierce bird let out a piercing scream, trying to pierce eardrums.
Puff!
Its chest caved in, then split open, revealing a huge bloody hole, spewing fresh blood.
The enormous corpse crashed to the ground, causing the mountain to shake violently. Surrounding ancient trees swayed wildly, rocks tumbling down.
Chu Feng bathed in the raptor's blood, standing motionless, very calm, already devoid of the tension from days ago, watching this calmly.
Then, he took some of the raptor's flesh, carrying it away.
"Today, I'll taste the meat of the giant bird."
At home, he prepared it, using a black short sword to cut, cooking, braising, frying, making a tableful of dishes.
"Truly delicious!" Chu Feng exclaimed.
Most importantly, the game hunted over the past few days contained astonishing energy, sufficient to replenish his body's needs, making his fist practice beneficial, strengthening his physique.
"Moo!"
The yellow cow was also very satisfied, its belly bulging. Clearly fattening up these days, it had become somewhat plump.
"Behave yourself while I'm gone. I'm going to deliver some game to Uncle Liu and Master Zhao," Chu Feng said after eating, addressing the cow.
These days, he delivered some beast meat to Old Liu from the antique shop and Master Zhao from the cold weapons workshop, both praising the quality highly.
Of course, he didn't dare mention it was the meat of giant beasts.
As dusk fell, Chu Feng carried two large bags of cooked meat into the yard, instinctively heading towards where he planted seeds, examining carefully.
Unfortunately, there were still no sprouts.
Seeing Chu Feng looking at it again, the yellow cow felt uneasy, sensing deep malice, glaring back before slamming the door shut.
"Tch, do you think I must have your dung? Now, besides dragon droppings, I can find any giant beast's excrement. If not for fearing to desecrate Queen Mother of the West and Nine Heavens Fairy, I would've acted long ago!" Chu Feng laughed.
"Moo!"
The entire room shook as the yellow cow grew enraged.
Ignoring it, Chu Feng headed towards the tranquil streets.
Returning late under the bright moon, he had been detained by Old Liu and Master Zhao for drinks.
Approaching home, Chu Feng saw a golden glow, obviously the yellow cow, sneaking out of the yard, cautiously.
It slithered into the orchard like a thief.
Chu Feng hid around a corner, surprised. What secret could this cow have, so secretive, sneaking into the orchard late at night?
Very curious, he followed using techniques taught by the cow, keeping his qi concealed, trailing silently.
Indeed, the cow was cautious, frequently looking around, constantly checking for followers.
"This is odd!"
Chu Feng muttered, feeling certain something was up, requiring such caution, almost paranoid.
Clearly, it was wary of being followed.
Chu Feng stopped, maintaining a safe distance, knowing the cow's keen senses might detect him too easily.
Recently, his training had enhanced his own senses, allowing him to sense danger from afar, an almost primal instinct.
After ensuring a sufficient gap, Chu Feng followed at a distance, only seeing a vague golden glow moving within the orchard.
Finally, the cow stopped, quickly turning back to check for followers.
Chu Feng cursed silently, hiding behind an old peach tree, motionless.
He observed the cow digging a pit, burying something.
"What treasure does it hide here?" Chu Feng gritted his teeth but waited patiently.
Satisfied, the cow hummed happily, trotting back leisurely.
"Young calf, trying to keep secrets from me? No way! Later, I'll dig up your stash, leaving you nowhere to complain."
Chu Feng planned, smiling smugly.
Imagining the cow's frustration upon finding nothing, he chuckled.
Suddenly, hearing sounds, despite the distance, his keen senses detected them.
Who came to the orchard at midnight? This alarmed him.
Retreating behind the tree, blending into the night, he concealed all signs of life.
From the sky, a giant bat descended slowly into the orchard.
Chu Feng was stunned!
Then, he frowned. It was actually a man with bat-like wings, softly landing.
Simultaneously, a woman arrived, swift as wind, nearly simultaneously with the man.
The winged man, surprisingly beautiful, landed exactly where the cow buried its item.
The woman, ordinary-looking but fashionably dressed, wore white clothes against the night.
"What was that, a golden blur? Seemed like a golden cow, really strange," they whispered.
"I saw it head towards Qingyang Town."
"Hmm, same town as our target, Chu Feng."
Hearing this, Chu Feng's heart sank. They were after him.
"Don't just send us for one mortal! But tonight, we kill!" the winged man declared coldly.
"The golden creature dug here, maybe it hid something valuable. Lucky us!" the woman smiled, unconcerned about killing Chu Feng.
She began digging, excitedly.
Chu Feng watched, deciding not to act yet. Better opportunities would come.
Suddenly, the woman screamed shrilly, frantically shaking her hands, wiping them on the man.
"Cow dung!"
She shrieked, desperately cleaning herself, vomiting uncontrollably.
Chu Feng stood dumbfounded, wiping sweat.
His mind raced, realizing how close he had come to disaster.
"Damn cow!"
He cursed silently. Following the cow had almost led him into a horrifying trap.
The woman, obsessively clean, vomited until she had nothing left, still retching.
The winged man also vomited, angrily discarding his clothes, face grim.
Chu Feng couldn't help laughing, cursing the cow countless times.
