Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 454: Haotian I - Little Baby
Uttarakuru.
Wild beasts roared amidst the mountains and valleys, and savage monsters roamed the depths of the vast wilderness. As night fell, the bright moon was obscured by dark clouds, and beneath the shroud of darkness, terrifying cries rose one after another.
A small figure rushed through the mountains and forests, and soon found a wild beast's nest.
He stared at the dark cave entrance, his black and white eyes rolled around, he tiptoed towards an ancient tree, and then climbed up very skillfully.
"Hehe, this is a treasure that Master just gave me. It would be a waste if I don't use it." The little guy took out a green leaf from his arms and smiled.
Then he stuck his butt out, lay on the treetop and waited quietly.
The stars move and the curtain covering the starry sky gradually falls away, and the sky gradually brightens.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The earth shook and a huge figure slowly emerged from the cave.
It stopped at the entrance of the cave, looked around, and observed vigilantly.
The little guy hid in the treetops, clutching the leaves tightly, not daring to breathe.
Fortunately, the wild beast did not discover him.
The huge figure moved step by step and disappeared into the jungle.
The little guy still didn't show up. He continued to wait at the top of the tree with his butt sticking out.
Sure enough, the huge monster came back and moved extremely quickly.
A ray of light flashed across the gray sky, like an electric python or a silver snake, brilliant and dazzling.
The giant beast returned to its original place, looked around, and roared.
The birds were startled and flew away, and the leaves in the forest rustled and fell.
Seeing that there were really no lurkers, the giant beast left with peace of mind.
After waiting for a while, the little guy saw that the giant beast did not come back, so he hugged the tree trunk and slid down.
"He really only cares about food and not beatings. He has come here so many times, but he still takes it lightly!" The little guy sighed in a childish voice.
"Hey, here I come!"
The little guy took out the clay pot that he had prepared long ago from the green leaves and moved towards the giant beast's nest in a cunning manner.
Not long after, the behemoth returned.
“Ah!”
A thunderous roar resounded in all directions, causing rocks to roll down, echoing loudly, the mountains and trees to shake violently, leaves to fly wildly, and a fishy wind to blow.
The beasts in the wild were so frightened that they crawled on the ground and trembled.
However, some beast kings looked at this place with a gloating look.
I’m afraid that thief is here again!
The beast kings in the wilderness all knew that the human race had a ferocious cub. It was four years old and still hadn't been weaned. It often went deep into the mountains and forests to find food, and its favorite thing to do was to steal beast milk.
If you can beat him, just hit him with a stick.
If I can't beat you, I'll just watch you steal.
The nest was moved ten times, but it was always found.
Extremely exaggerated!
The beasts felt deeply hurt and suffered terribly.
The beast kings even hunted this cub.
However, the other party was so cruel that after escaping, they caught several beast kings and gave them a severe beating.
After hitting them on the head, they were all covered with bumps, and they all became outstanding.
The key point is that there is an even more brutal existence behind the thief!
Thinking of this, the beast kings trembled.
…
The little fellow who stole the animal milk had already escaped. He circled around in the mountains and forests for several times and picked out several weaker ones to attack.
All the birds of prey, fierce tigers, poisonous dragons, etc. were knocked down with one stick.
The jars among the green leaves are all filled to the brim.
Mostly animal milk.
There are also fruits, animal blood, rare treasures, etc.
"It's a pity that the tiger's fangs haven't fully grown yet. Otherwise, Master could have forged two more fierce swords. Combined with the two previous ones, they share the same origin and could surely form a formidable killing formation!"
The little guy felt sorry for the tiger. He was very concerned about the tiger and hoped that the tiger would grow its teeth quickly.
For this purpose, he also gave the other party a can of animal milk so that he could nourish his body.
"Hu Zi, don't let my milk go to waste!" The little guy said seriously while looking at the tiger's den from afar.
Those guys were afraid of him and kept hiding their milk. The top-quality animal milk became less and less available, and he only collected twelve cans this time.
If he didn't have a deep relationship with Hu Zi, he wouldn't have given away a can.
As the east grew brighter, the little guy knew it was time to go back.
So he sped up and dug out a few more nests according to his memory.
The space was filled with green leaves, so the little guy carried them on his shoulders and hands, and returned with a full load.
After taking two sips of animal milk to replenish his strength, the little guy hummed a little tune all the way and happily ran towards the tribe.
"Child, are you causing trouble in the wilderness again?"
On the way, he met a hunting team from the tribe. All of them were tall and mighty, with strong muscles and a great amount of martial arts energy. Such a team was the foundation for ensuring that the human race could gain a foothold in the wilderness.
"Hey, Uncle Tian!"
The little guy stopped, his eyes shining.
The team leader Tianxiong had a deep and sharp gaze. He carried a hard bow on his back with runes all over it, revealing a hint of murderous intent.
Tianxiong looked at Hao who returned with a full load and felt quite emotional.
"Kid, you can't go out too often. The powerful beast kings within a thousand miles are retreating. When they move, the beasts that depend on them will also move away. Although this is a good thing, it will be difficult for us to catch any decent prey when we go out hunting!"
There was a mixture of pride and helplessness in his tone.
Ever since this infant child started to learn martial arts from Master Ji Ling, he had no rivals in this vast wilderness in just one year.
Those intelligent beast kings would take a detour when they saw him.
Considering that he is only four years old this year, it is really amazing.
"Hahaha, team leader, you don't know him yet. I'm afraid he has used up all the stock and is greedy, so he went to rob the beast's nest. Look at the corners of his mouth, the milk stains haven't dried yet!" The team members behind him were laughing.
"No way, Uncle Ying, don't talk nonsense!"
Hao blushed at what Tianying said. He quickly wiped the corner of his mouth, but found nothing.
“Hahahahahaha!”
The men were amused by the baby.
"This child is truly gifted. If he grows up a few more years, he might be able to fight against the monsters in the depths of the mountains. By then, I'm afraid we'll all have to retire early!" A hunting team member pointed at the baby and said half-jokingly.
Hao often went in and out of the Great Wilderness, and their hunting tasks were greatly reduced, and there were no more casualties.
The team members next to him laughed and scolded: "A grown man, still relying on children every day, how shameless!"
"Our human race was founded on the principle of forging ahead. Our ancestors overcame numerous obstacles and blazed a trail through the wilderness. How could we allow you to retire prematurely? Besides, there is a vaster world beyond the wilderness. Hao cannot stay in the tribe forever. You must understand this."
Tianxiong's voice was steady, powerful, and full of authority. He would not allow his team members to have any laziness. How could a human warrior afford to retire?
Hao looked at everyone, thought for a while, and took out a scale from the green leaf space. It was the size of a palm, golden all over, and dazzling.
"Uncle Tian, take this with you later, it will be much safer." He handed the golden scales to Tianxiong and said solemnly.
"This is..." Tianxiong was moved. The energy contained in this scale was terrifying, far exceeding that of ordinary beast kings. Its owner was probably already a demon, or even a demon fairy.
The little fellow chuckled, "I went to visit Chang Chong's house and saw that it was extraordinary, so I picked it up. You don't have to worry, Chang Chong won't dare to complain. Besides, I have already refined this scale. The magic formula is inside, so it is easy to comprehend."
Tianxiong's mouth twitched when he heard this.
I know that the little guy is going to harm the poisonous dragon again.
He had fought with the poisonous dragon before and knew that it had a special bloodline. In terms of strength, it was not strong, but its deadly poison was the most terrifying. Few people in the wilderness were willing to provoke it.
It was his bad luck that he met Hao.
"Child, you have to be careful too. In the past, there have been monsters and beasts roaming the Great Wilderness. The old priests of the tribe fought against these beings several times, which is why our tribe was able to gain a foothold here.
But in recent years, for some reason, those powerful monsters have retreated into the deep mountains, seemingly dormant. The old sacrificial spirit also vanished one stormy night, leaving no one aware of whether he's alive or dead. Tianxiong recounted some past events with Hao, reminding him of the dangers. He worried that the young creature, who frequently ventured into the wilderness, might encounter an unmatched being and meet his end prematurely.
Hao listened carefully, but he already had the answer in his heart: his teacher was the one who came on that stormy night.
He chatted with the men of the hunting team for a while, took out many things from the green leaf space, and handed them to them, hoping that they would return safely.
"Little guy, go back quickly. If you go back too late, the chief will punish you again. The animal milk you worked so hard to collect will probably be confiscated!" Tianying kindly reminded.
"Oh, that's bad!"
Hao's face changed. He looked at the bright sky, slapped his head, and ran away at high speed.
Wherever it passes, the void makes a roar.
"For the beast's milk!"
The childish voice echoed in the woods.
This caused all the men to burst into laughter.
