The villagers were all awake now, the elderly, children, and women were told to stay indoors, while the young men all gathered in the field with weapons in their hand.

No one knew what was going on, but they were all very alert and serious after hearing the thunderous roars.

“Grandpa is over there, shall we go there, young master?”

Xiao Mao pulled Bai Yang’s hand.

“Where?”

It would be good to learn more from the village chief who lived long enough to witness all sorts of unique and weird experiences.

The crowd separated and gave them a path upon seeing Bai Yang, easing him into walking towards the chief.

“Young man, you’re awake too?”

The old chief nodded at Bai Yang.

There was a saying about when a person lived long enough, there wouldn’t be many things that the person wouldn’t know; with old chief age, he could tell that Bai Yang and Xiao Mao’s relationship reached a whole new level just from the way they interacted and that made him smile a little.

“Grandpa.”

Xiao Mao greeted a step ahead of Bai Yang.

And Bai Yang felt a little awkward, he had no idea how he was to address the old chief; calling him grandpa as well seemed a little inappropriate right now, but he had already tainted his granddaughter, even though they had yet to really do it, but what they did was already close to that...

“Yeah, woke up because of the roar.... Chief Grandpa, what’s happening?”

Bai Yang smiled awkwardly. If he addressed the old man as the “Chief Grandpa”, he wouldn’t be disrespectful and too much of a stranger, but it wouldn’t be as close as calling him “grandpa” right away, this was much more suitable...

“I don’t know too. But this kind of situation happens often in the forest. After all, the forest is a dangerous place, tall trees stand everywhere, and deep within the forest are also abysmal valleys where fierce and powerful beasts lurk within; once they become enraged, they would often cause such a scene like the one happening right now...

Bai Yang could tell that the old chief was worried just from the way he spoke, but it couldn’t be helped. In Xiao Mao’s words, whatever beast running amok right now was at least as strong as the gorilla he saw that day, if this beast came charging into the village, it would be a disaster!

“So what now?”

Bai Yang asked. He was clueless before such a situation, after all, such a thing did not exist on earth...

“All we can do is wait. If nothing else happens, we would send someone out on the day to take a look.”

The old chief expressed that he was also helpless before such a situation.

Then they waited, which lasted for a few hours but so did the roar. When the sun rose up high into the skies, nothing happened and that was when the worried folk felt relieved.

Meanwhile, the roars turned shorter and lower, as if the beast was about to cease causing sound pollution.

“Old chief, I’ll take two men with me to take a look at what happened.”

The armored Zhao Shi approached with the titanium saber in his hands.

“Alright, make sure to take care of yourself.”

The old chief thought and agreed to this suggestion; this was tightly related to the safety of the village, so it was necessary to send someone for recon.

“Hu Zi, Zhu Zi. Come with me.”

Zhao Shi shouted towards the crowd.

Bai Yang smiled right away and thought, Are the three of you gay? You never leave each others’ side!

His eyes then turned around and he raised his hands up, “I’m coming too.”

“Young master, you can’t! It’s too dangerous!”

Xiao Mao hurriedly stopped Bai Yang with an expression that said she was about to cry anytime soon, which conflicted her presence right now that was all ready for a bloody fight with the beast.

“It’s fine, after all, we’re just taking a look, not fight the big guy, we will leave after we have a glance at what happened.”

Bai Yang would never tell the villagers that his curiosity about what kind of beast could cause such a scene was killing him!

“But....”

“It’s decided! Let’s go, go go...”

Zhao Shi wanted to say something but he was interrupted by Bai Yang, who impatiently rushed towards the main gate.

“Young master, wait for me, I’ll go get the bow and arrows...”

Xiao Mao shouted at the back, charged back into the room to get the weapons, no matter where Bai Yang went, she would be there.

Meanwhile, upon realizing there was no way to change Bai Yang’s decision, the old chief personally arranged seven strongest hunters in the village to join the group, turning them into a group of ten and his intention was clear; to protect Bai Yang.

Thus, Bai Yang was once again, entering the forest with the villagers.

Hmmm? You said he swore to himself not to enter the forest anymore? Did that even happen?

“Oh right. Zhao Shi, about what I told you to tell the other villages in the forest, how’s it going?”

On the way out, Bai Yang suddenly thought of this and asked Zhao Shi, whose eyes twitched and replied, “Young master, it was already night when you told me about it, I did not even have the time yet.”

“Fine, I was too impatient....”

Dangers lurked within the forest, and they would lunge at a careless person anytime, but thankfully, Bai Yang had ten experienced hunters taking him around.

So not only did he not feel unsafe, he even thought that this felt more like an outing....

The roar stopped at some point, so they could only trace after the estimated direction of where the roar came from.

The journey was a boring one and Bai Yang asked Xiao Mao, “Xiao Mao, I always have a question, where are your parents?”

Xiao Mao was happy that Bai Yang called her initially, but when she heard this question, the happiness in her eyes faded and she forced a smile, “Young master, Xiao Mao’s parents are long gone, ever since when I was still very small. Grandpa said that when I was still small, my parents entered the forest and never returned....”

“I’m sorry.. I did not mean it, Xiao Mao, you still have me, I’m your family now!”

“Mmmmm...”

Xiao Mao became happy again hearing this.

They continued the journey without stopping and after traveling in the forest for about two hours, Zhao Shi who was scouting at the front made a hand sign to tell everyone to stop and he looked terrified.

The travel was easy for Bai Yang, for after entering the forest for just a few moments, he was carried by the gigantic Zhu Zi on his shoulders....

“What’s happening?” asked Bai Yang softly after seeing Zhao Shi’s expression.

Zhao Shi did not reply but continued making hand signs to tell them to take a look for themselves.

“Young master, I’ll take you up.”

Xiao Mao who stood beside Zhu Zi and raised her head and said towards Bai Yang.

“Okay.”

Bai Yang had no doubt about Xiao Mao’s capabilities, after all, he had already experienced it once.

The process of getting up the tree was an absolutely exciting one!

With her hands around Bai Yang’s waist, Xiao Mao leaped from the ground, reaching the height of about 3 meters, her feet then tapped on the trunk, giving her another boost and she grabbed onto a vine to swung herself further up and they flew up for another 5 meters....

After a few times, Bai Yang was already at the top of the tree, standing more than 20 meters away from the ground!

One should know that the armor on Xiao Mao was already more than 100 kg heavy, the titanium long sword itself weight 30 kg and with the additional of Bai Yang’s weight, which was 75kg or so....

Hehe, my Xiao Mao is really strong... If this is back in the earth, whatever mistress would be ripped into half by her easily...

Bai Yang was sweating silently, Fortunately, Xiao Mao is very obedient...

“Young master, there...”

Zhao Shi reached his head over and pointed towards the front.

Bai Yang quickly turned around and he almost lost himself...!

Somewhere further in front, about 500 meters away, massive trees that originally stood firm and high on the ground were entirely uprooted, the woods were all over the ground and the scene was a mess.

Most importantly, a monstrously huge ox lay on the ground, and it stood more than 5 meters tall just by lying down! What was even stranger was that the ox had four ears and this was entirely an abnormality in Bai Yang’s view....

Without a doubt, the massive movements yesterday were the doings of this beast, the trees were also most likely uprooted by it!

Yet, this ox was not looking good, its muscular body was filled with injuries and its blood dyed its body red.

The two horns on its head were broken; one half broken and the other entirely removed. One of its eyes also went missing, leaving only a bloodied hole, there was a terrifying wound on its neck, blood was gushing out from the wound and a table-sized hoove was lying somewhere further away...

“This...”

Bai Yang was completely lost for words, What the fuck, you’re telling me that there is actually such a massive cow in this world? And it looks like it was about to die anytime soon or probably already dead, what’s going on?

“Young master, this is a Four Eared Green Ox, one of the most dangerous beasts in the forest but it seems like it got killed by someone!”

Zhao Shi explained in horror.

“But who is capable of doing this?”

Replied Bai Yang in disbelief.

“Young master, the martial artist we hear in legends are all capable of this!”

Answered Xiao Mao...
