As he gradually approached the edge of the forest, the powerful Demon Beasts and Chimeras began to dwindle, and their levels also decreased. His pace quickened, but with a singular focus on honing his skills, he did not veer towards the so-called edge area. Instead, he continued south along the banks of the Yan Luo River. Although he kept a certain distance from the riverbank, he did not stray too far, at most a day or two's journey away.
Throughout his journey, he maintained a combat frequency similar to that before encountering Zi Lan. While he faced several tough battles, he generally emerged victorious more often than not. Of course, if he spotted a formidable Demon Beast or Chimera, he would steer clear from a distance. The Demon Beasts and Chimeras in this forest lacked intelligence; those that were powerful exuded an overwhelming aura to assert their dominance and intimidate intruders. They would only temper their ferocity when hunting. Overall, the territories of Chimeras and Demon Beasts were relatively fixed. For Mo Wen, aside from those he clearly could not contend with, he wouldn’t deliberately avoid them. To evade all Demon Beasts and Chimeras would mean one thing: staying put. For instance, when he was with Old Lu in that forest, after Old Lu dealt with the creatures residing there and unleashed his own aura, it signified that a new lord had claimed the area. They could live there without worry until new Demon Beasts or Chimeras moved in after their departure. Moreover, the territories of Chimeras and Demon Beasts were often intertwined; it was impossible to avoid them all.
Gathering his thoughts, he pressed on. Now he needed to "collect herbs." It seemed unreasonable for a healer not to gather medicinal plants when venturing into the mountains. However, the herbs he sought grew within the territories of Demon Beasts. Whether or not there were herbs was secondary; what mattered was encountering combat-ready Demon Beasts. He believed that the place he was heading would have herbs. After accidentally wandering into a Demon Beast cave several times, he realized that it was indeed true: valuable medicinal plants were guarded by these creatures. In various caves inhabited by Demon Beasts and Chimeras, there were always herbs of varying worth growing inside, and these herbs were often of much higher quality than those found elsewhere. Moreover, many of the plants thriving in Chimera territory were beneficial for Shen Hun.
With joy from potential gains came regret over past losses; he had missed out on many good finds before. During this time, whether through stealth or force, his harvests had increased significantly compared to before. The Square Inch World now held many peculiar collections. As a pragmatist, his collection wasn’t merely for aesthetics; practicality was paramount—such as fruit trees that calmed the mind or unknown trees that purified spiritual energy in his small world. He even kept a few vividly colored wild birds.
At the mouth of a cave appeared a figure—it was Mo Wen, who had just finished gathering herbs. The Demon Beast within this cave was far stronger than he had anticipated; however, he successfully lured it away and completed his herb collection inside its cave. Adhering to the principle of sustainable development, he did not strip the area bare but only took mature herbs that were absent from his collection. He had engaged in such raids on nests quite frequently lately.
Standing by a tree and admiring the scenery, Mo Wen sensed sounds of battle emanating from deeper within the forest. Rather than an actual fight, it seemed more like a group of villagers being chased by a Demon Beast—likely hunters who had ventured into the mountains but found themselves in dire straits now.
