In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

Looking at his sullen and stubborn appearance, Shi Geng felt a slight stirring in his heart. He reached out and ruffled his soft hair, and said softly with a smile, "Alright, I'll wait until you become strong enough to make me beg for mercy."

Shi Geng's smile deepened. He pointed to the clothes on his body and teased, "But for now, let's take off Tiger Girl's skirt first. She'll cry when she sees it."

The little boy's face instantly turned bright red. He frantically tried to pull off his clothes, shouting angrily, "Shi Heng! You actually gave me Tiger Girl's clothes to wear! I'm not finished with you!"

Shi Geng couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of the little guy's flustered, embarrassed, and angry appearance. He found the little guy's appearance quite amusing.

Just as Shi Geng burst into laughter, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ear.

Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng stepped forward, pinched his ear, and said with a helpless expression, "Xiao Gen, are you bullying the little one again? Hurry up and apologize to the child, and return Tiger Girl's clothes."

Shi Geng, his ear being pulled, immediately stopped smiling and begged for mercy: "Grandpa Clan Chief, I was wrong, I apologize right now, and I'll return the clothes!"

Shi Yunfeng then released his grip, glaring at him with annoyance: "You brat, you're getting more and more unruly, all you do is bully the little one."

Upon seeing the clan chief's support, the little boy immediately puffed out his chest and winked at Shi Geng triumphantly, looking as arrogant as could be.

Shi Geng sighed and bowed to the little one, saying, "Alright, alright, it was my fault. Little one, you're so magnanimous, please don't hold it against me."

Shi Yunfeng shook his head, looked at the two children, and his tone gradually became more serious: "Laughter is fine, but the Great Wilderness is not peaceful now. You must pay attention to your cultivation in the future and not just be carefree and playful."

Shi Geng straightened his expression, bowed, and replied, "I understand."

The Great Wilderness is indeed becoming increasingly turbulent.

The ancient lion deep in the mountains, now old and frail, is nearing the end of its life.

It has been roaring and struggling incessantly lately, its ferocious power shaking the entire vast mountain range and causing the beasts to tremble in fear.

Countless ferocious birds and beasts quietly gathered around, lurking in the shadows, greedily waiting for the moment when the Suanni would fall, so that they could swarm forward and devour the flesh and precious techniques of this ancient remnant.

This is a true ancient remnant species, a giant even deep within these vast mountains.

If one could obtain its remains, extract its true blood, and carve the original treasure runes between its bones, it would be tantamount to unlocking an astonishing treasure.

The villagers of Shicun were naturally envious, but although the old Suanni was dying, it had not truly perished and its remaining power was still present.

The people could only suppress their thoughts and stay hidden in the village, not daring to go out easily, and even put down their hunting work.

"The remains of the Suanni...this is a valuable item."

Shi Geng muttered to himself.

He remembered that the clan leader, Shi Yunfeng, had been collecting the true blood of ferocious beasts and various spiritual herbs and medicinal materials from all over the place, with the aim of baptizing him and Little Dot.

If they could obtain the remains of the Suanni, and use the true blood and precious bones of this ancient species as medicine, after the baptism, his and Little One's potential and strength would surely take another big step forward!

However, since the old Suanni is not yet dead, he dares not approach rashly and can only lie in wait in the dark for the best opportunity.

But this day did not keep him waiting long.

The next day, a deafening roar suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

The mountains and valleys trembled in unison, all the beasts trembled and lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to move, and the ferocious birds flew into the sky in panic and fled in all directions.

Rocks tumbled down, trees shook violently, and the entire vast forest trembled intensely.

The old, frail lion slowly emerged from the deepest part of the mountain range.

It was already exhausted and its aura had deteriorated to the extreme, yet it still carried the terrifying pressure of an ancient remnant species. It was just wandering aimlessly around the perimeter, as if searching for a final resting place.

The villagers of Shicun were already itching to fight, waiting for the Suanni to fall completely so they could rush out and snatch the remains of this ancient species.

Soon, a tremendous, earth-shaking roar came from deep within the mountains.

The villagers of Shicun exchanged glances but did not set off immediately. They waited quietly until the clansman in charge of gathering information rushed back.

"Chief! The Suanni's lifespan has ended. Before it died, it crawled into a mountain cave and caused it to completely collapse!"

A glint of light flashed in their eyes, and without further hesitation, they shouted in unison, "Go into the mountains!"

In this battle for the remains of the Suanni, Shicun has mobilized its entire force.

Even the clan chief, Shi Yunfeng, personally led the team, which shows how much Shi Village valued this operation.

The group quickly ventured deep into the mountains, where they could sense a deathly stillness from afar.

The surrounding area is filled with majestic peaks stretching endlessly, and ancient forests that extend to the horizon. Some incredibly thick ancient trees reach straight into the sky, towering over a thousand meters high, more majestic than many mountain peaks, their branches and leaves blocking out the sun.

There are also ancient vines that have grown for countless years, so thick that several adults cannot encircle them, coiling around the mountains like writhing dragons, vigorous and ferocious.

Before even approaching the place where the Suanni had fallen, an extremely terrifying aura rushed towards them.

That was the oppressive aura of the Suanni. Even after its demise, it remained domineering and awe-inspiring, which gives one a sense of its unparalleled ferocity in life.

"It's so quiet!"

A sense of unease immediately arose in Shi Geng's heart.

It was so desolate here that not even a bird's song or a beast's roar could be heard; it was like a forgotten, forbidden land of death.

Not to mention birds and beasts, even ants and insects had long since hidden themselves deep in their caves, not daring to show their faces. The entire mountain forest was desolate and silent, leaving only a chilling stillness.

Go any deeper, and you'll be met with something truly terrifying!

Entering a state of oneness with nature, Shi Geng's intuition became incredibly sharp. He clearly sensed that a terrifyingly ferocious aura lurked ahead, its power so terrifying it made one's heart tremble.

At the same time, there was a faint glimmer of life, so weak as to be almost imperceptible, yet in the midst of deathly silence, it was like a tiny flame in the darkness, seemingly on the verge of being extinguished, yet still stubbornly flickering.

"The old Suanni is not dead yet."

Shi Geng narrowed his eyes slightly and told everyone what he had sensed in a deep voice.

"Huh? It's not dead yet? But I clearly saw it go into the cave, and then the whole cave collapsed!" The clansmen who went to investigate earlier were shocked and quickly spoke up.

Shi Linhu's expression darkened slightly, and he said, "Could it be faking its death? Maybe we should wait and see, just to be on the safe side."

He knew Shi Geng's abilities well. He had relied on Shi Geng's keen intuition many times to lead everyone away from powerful beasts, and he had long been convinced of his abilities.

"Grandpa Chief, you should go back to the village and wait. Little One and I will ride on Aunt Azure-Scaled Eagle and go in to check the situation first."

Shi Geng closed his eyes and sensed for a moment before slowly speaking. He had already detected the aura of a large number of ferocious beasts gathering ahead, numbering over a hundred, and all of them were quite powerful, far beyond what his clansmen could handle.
