Duanmu Xue was about to go crazy. Every time she entered battle mode, she would uncontrollably become violent; this was her fighting style, which earned her the title of "Violent Queen" at Qingyang Academy.
She knew that everyone both respected and feared her, which was why she hid another side of herself from Lufan, especially since she found out that Lufan had never heard her nickname. She felt compelled to keep this a secret.
Unexpectedly, in a moment of excitement, she fought without maintaining her image. Just by looking at Lufan's expression, she realized that all her previous efforts had gone to waste, and Duanmu Xue suddenly felt a bit disheartened.
It was all the fault of that damn Wild Boar!
Duanmu Xue directed her anger towards the Wild Boar and instructed Simpleton and the others to cut off the more valuable meat from it, as they were in need of Primordial Meat.
Then she approached Lufan and stammered, "Uh, well... that was an accident. I didn't expect this Wild Boar to look so big but be so weak. I just lost control for a moment. I promise I'm not usually this violent!"
The four people nearby were originally listening intently but couldn't help but facepalm at her words. "Big Sister, can you say that with a bit more confidence? Even we can tell you're feeling guilty."
Lufan simply smiled at her, looking as if he believed everything she said, which made Duanmu Xue unable to continue her explanation.
Taking a deep breath, she thought about giving up when Lufan spoke up.
"Actually, it was pretty cool."
"Huh? What did you say?" This unexpected turn left Duanmu Xue doubting if she had misheard him.
"That move just now was really impressive. It was powerful and cool."
"Haha, right? I knew someone could appreciate my aesthetic of violence! Lufan, I really didn't misjudge you!" Duanmu Xue suddenly became cheerful and patted Lufan on the shoulder. If it weren't for Lufan having broken through to the Copper Skin Realm with his Iron Cloth Technique, it might have ended badly.
Feeling the force of her pat, Lufan couldn't help but label Duanmu Xue in his mind as a violent girl and noted: extremely troublesome.
If Duanmu Xue knew what Lufan was thinking at that moment, she might have increased the force of her pat and knocked him out.
The commotion from earlier had surely attracted nearby Primordial Beasts. After taking some Primordial Meat, they quickly covered the bloody smell with some pungent spices and hurriedly left. Soon enough, other Primordial Beasts would come to clean up the Wild Boar.
At noon, they roasted the Wild Boar meat, but to be honest, without the special preparation of a Medicinal Cuisine master, the taste of this directly roasted Primordial Meat was not very good; it was barely edible.
This is inevitable. The stronger the Primordial Beast, the tougher its flesh will be. Therefore, without special cooking methods, unprocessed Primordial Meat would be difficult to chew, let alone digest.
For some powerful Primordial Beasts, even if you roast their meat over a fire, it is hard to cook it thoroughly without special techniques.
This is also why Duanmu Xue and her group were reluctant to confront Primordial Beasts. They could not carry much meat back, and eating it directly was unappetizing. Generally, only large hunting teams that specifically target Primordial Beasts would engage in such a thankless task.
Fortunately, this Wild Boar was only a second-level Primordial Beast and being a pig-like creature, its taste was relatively average; it was passable.
Primordial Beasts are classified into nine levels according to their strength, corresponding to the Martial Cultivator's Martial Arts Nine Levels of Realm. This Wild Boar is a second-level Primordial Beast, equivalent to the strength of a Martial Cultivator at the Refining Meat Realm. Moreover, due to the inherently strong physique of Primordial Beasts, its power might even surpass that of an ordinary Refining Meat Realm Martial Cultivator.
Even so, it was still taken down by Duanmu Xue with one strike; one can imagine how violent this Violent Queen is!
After finishing this meal of Wild Boar meat, Lufan felt his Inner Strength surging again within him. He experienced a sense of security from the fullness in his Dantian.
After a brief rest, they continued on their way.
However, since entering the depths of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, their luck had not been as good. There were too many Primordial Beasts here, forcing them to hide and evade rather than gather herbs properly.
"Be careful!"
Duanmu Xue suddenly reached out and grabbed a green shadow that was attacking them. It turned out to be a small green snake with a golden line on its back. Gripped at its Seven Inches, it struggled desperately while hissing.
"This is the Azure Gold-Threaded Snake," Duanmu Xue said with a serious expression. "It's a second-level Primordial Beast. Its body is weak like an ordinary snake, but its venom is quite potent. If you're unfortunate enough to get bitten by it, even a Martial Cultivator at the Fourth Rank Bone Refinement Realm would struggle to withstand it. If the poison isn't treated in time, it could be fatal."
The remaining few initially did not pay much attention but upon hearing this, they looked at the small green snake with fear in their eyes. A Bone Refinement Realm Martial Cultivator could not withstand a bite from this little snake; how strong must its toxicity be?
Thinking about how they had almost been bitten moments ago sent chills down their spines.
This is the Ten Thousand Great Mountains; it has an abundance of resources but also harbors various deadly dangers. Perhaps even an inconspicuous little snake could lead to instant death!
Duanmu Xue held the snake in her hand and looked deep into the forest, her eyes filled with concern. They had become too complacent, blinded by their abundant gains, forgetting that this area was not meant for them, who were still in the Bone Refinement Realm and not yet Low-Level Martial Practitioners.
"We must return immediately; this place is too dangerous!" Upon realizing the problem, Duanmu Xue decisively made her decision and stated firmly.
The group was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the green snake, a chill suddenly running through them. They all agreed; while gathering herbs was good, nothing was more important than their lives.
Having made their decision, they began to head back right away. Duanmu Xue looked at the Azure Gold-Threaded Snake in her hand and was about to crush it when Lufan suddenly suggested collecting some venom.
Although Duanmu Xue found it strange, she agreed. She knew Lufan had a penchant for collecting unique items. With her help, Lufan extracted two drops of venom from the Azure Gold-Threaded Snake's fangs and carefully collected them in a small porcelain vial, placing it in his backpack.
Even though they decided to return, they realized it was too late. By the time they rushed back, they discovered they had ventured too deep into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, far beyond their usual range of activity.
The return journey proved to be much more difficult than their entry. They even encountered several battles with Primordial Beasts along the way. Fortunately, these were all low-level Primordial Beasts, and under their combined efforts, they were easily defeated.
Lufan was fortunate enough to witness the combat skills of the others. Aside from needing to protect the rocks and not participating himself, he observed Zhao Xingjian's sharp swordsmanship and the impressive teamwork of Milan and Miko with their bows and arrows.
Especially Milan and Miko; the twin sisters' synergy was astonishing. Their attacks left no blind spots, with nearly half of the Primordial Beasts falling to their arrows.
Unfortunately, their luck ran out when a pitch-black leopard appeared before them, causing even Duanmu Xue's expression to change dramatically.
Fourth-Level Primordial Beast, Shadow Leopard!
