Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

The chaos on Wuzhi Mountain has only recently subsided. The now calmed mountain still retains wisps of mist and the stench unique to wild animals.

"Smack."

That familiar feel...

Wang Hunjiang moved his foot away, and as expected, there was another lump.

How many piles of poop is this? I've been stepping on it every now and then since we started climbing the mountain. People who know this are doing it for Baozhi, but if they didn't, they'd think we came up the mountain to play in poop.

Thinking of this, he became even angrier. Looking at Yako, who was walking ahead and sobbing, he became even more irritated and kicked her hard.

Ya Zi was already thin and weak, and while crying, he didn't have time to pay attention to what was behind him. The sudden force from behind sent him flying backward, crashing to the ground and trembling in pain.

"You're not kidding us, are you? We've come all this way and all we've seen is shit."

"Don't even think about trying any tricks. If you can't find it, you're not going home today!"

Ya Zi stood up shakily, and when she saw Wang Hunjiang's hand about to fall, she immediately protected herself, but there was no sound of the hand falling, only the laughter of Wang Hunjiang and his gang.

They just found the child's trembling appearance quite amusing.

"Hurry up! Don't make the grandfathers late."

After saying that, he made a move to hit her again. Ya Zi trembled with fear, and her clean clothes were stained with dirt on the bumpy road.

A group of people were shouting and driving forward like they were herding livestock.

......

On the other side, Lin Sheng looked at the footprints on the ground. Some were deep, some were shallow. Although most of them were placed together, it was still possible to tell that the deeper ones followed the shallow ones.

Based on his experience, Lin Sheng judged: "The shallow ones are the buds."

"The shapes of the deep ones vary; there are three types in total."

"Including Wang Hunjiang, there were three bastards in total."

Lin Sheng snorted coldly and followed.

Now that he possesses profound energy and the means to achieve it, he naturally doesn't take those three bastards seriously. Even if he were to deal with them, it would simply be doing the people a favor.

But Wuzhi Mountain had just been pacified, and it was best to avoid bloodshed if possible. Lin Sheng didn't want to cause turmoil here again.

In autumn and winter, Wuzhi Mountain is like a shark tank; even the slightest smell can excite monsters that crave blood.

Continuing to follow the tracks, the direction of the footprints can be seen from afar through the light mist.

"call out!"

A figure darted swiftly through the treetops.

There is movement!

Lin Sheng stopped and scanned his surroundings. He noticed a figure moving around nearby.

"Whoosh!"

The shadow was blurry; only a small, thin figure could be vaguely seen among the branches, causing the nearby woods to rustle.

Lin Sheng assumed a stance with his fists and feet, shifted his feet, and focused his gaze, preparing to strike.

"Bang!"

Lin Sheng jumped back, and saw a palm-sized round stone strike the spot where he had just been, creating a deep crater visible to the naked eye.

"A stone? Can it have that much power?"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two stones were thrown in quick succession. Lin Sheng dodged them and looked up to see who it was, following the direction in which the stones were thrown.

A brown-grey monkey, about the size of a child, with its arms encased in rocks, baring its teeth.

It was squeaking angrily because it had missed Lin Sheng several times.

With his arms aimed at Lin Sheng's location, the stone arms and claws once again condensed into rocks, shooting towards him with a whooshing sound.

Lin Sheng used the Bee Shadow technique and landed behind the monkey in the blink of an eye. He swung a whip kick at the monkey, which screamed and flew off the branch, crashing to the ground.

Landing on the ground, Lin Sheng looked at the monkey with blood flowing from its mouth and nose and recognized it: "The stone-throwing monkey?"

"Why is this monster here?"

"And it was a surprise attack?"

Just as he was pondering, the stone monkey swallowed its last two breaths and stopped moving.

Many doubts arose in Lin Sheng's mind, but now was not the time to dwell on them. Seeing that the stone-throwing monkey was lifeless, he also decided to leave.

But as he was leaving, his gaze sharpened as he noticed a glint of light on the stone monkey's tail. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that a section of the tail was covered in crystal.

In his memory, the corpse-dumping monkey had nothing on its body except rocks, let alone such sparkling glass.

Lin Sheng easily chopped it off with his knife, then put it in his pocket and left.

His intuition told him that this thing was not simple.

Lin Sheng then stopped and followed the footprints quickly until he stopped at an amazing spot.

Before me lay a vast expanse of stone monkey corpses, without a trace of footprints. Countless corpses were piled up like small mountains, with severed limbs and severed heads, all bearing signs of decay.

"Did some other entity attack the entire monkey troop?"

"Or was it caused by fighting for territory with other spirits or demons?"

Such a large number of spirit corpses is undoubtedly a treasure, even though many are incomplete and show signs of decay, they still have considerable value.

However, Lin Sheng found this terrifying, because Wuzhi Mountain had never experienced such a huge upheaval in previous years!

Mount Wuzhi is home to many demons and spirits, but they always have clearly defined territories. Serious battles are more or less due to the division of territory or the devouring of each other.

It is precisely because of its good stability that professions such as mountain walkers and hunters were able to exist.

However, the vast piles of corpses before them seemed to be telling the absurdity of the existence of stability.

As a seasoned hiker, this was not a good sign; he had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

He bypassed the monkey carcass and tried to look for any other footprints nearby.

"What is this?"

Lin Sheng's peripheral vision was drawn to a ray of reflection. He turned his head and saw a nearly three-meter-tall stone-throwing monkey tightly clutching something in its hand, which gleamed in the afterglow of the sun.

After forcefully prying open the corpse's fingers, what came into view was a fist-sized piece of glass, shimmering with iridescent colors in the sunlight.

Holding it in your hand, it is translucent and hard, like a diamond, yet with a hint of sky blue.

Lin Sheng's first impression was that it looked familiar; it was somewhat similar to the glass stone on the tail of the stone-throwing monkey he had just killed.

Just as he was about to make a proper comparison, he twitched his ear and heard the sound of a bowstring being drawn taut.

someone!

Before they could make any further moves, a sharp arrow shot through the air with a whooshing sound.

Lin Sheng gathered his strength in his legs and jumped backward, dodging to the side and narrowly avoiding the speeding arrow.

"Missed! Let's try again!"

Seeing Lin Sheng dodge, Wang Hunjiang drew his bow again and aimed, but Lin Sheng didn't give him a chance. He had already pinpointed Wang Hunjiang's location by sound and charged towards Wang Hunjiang's group.

Seeing Lin Sheng rushing towards him, Wang Hunjiang focused intently on drawing his bow again, his arm muscles tense, his eyes fixed on the arrow as he shot it.

The arrowhead gradually magnified in Lin Sheng's eyes. Just when Wang Hunjiang thought he could hit it, Lin Sheng's figure flickered and dodged.

Startled, Wang Hunjiang nocked another arrow and was about to shoot before the bow was fully drawn when the people around him also immediately drew their arrows and nocked their bows.

However, when they finally got their eyes on him, they discovered that Lin Sheng had vanished. Then they saw Wang Hunjiang fly out of their sights.

"Bang!"

He crashed into a tree, his nose and mouth were crooked.
