Divine Tang Era

Since these two things are not afraid of death, they must be taught a profound lesson so that they know what life is all about.

So, Xu Dan peeled them.

The meat had a slightly rancid smell; otherwise, I might have kept it. I don't know what's wrong with this stuff, but the meat is practically like urea. How can anyone eat this? I just threw it away.

He threw them far away to avoid attracting a pack of wild animals that might smell them.

As for whether they will be chased to the treehouse?

Would Xu Dan be afraid? If he weren't too lazy to fight, he would definitely show these bastards on the grasslands what it means to be an uncrowned king who can punch tigers in the south and kick dragons in the north. He stood majestically on the platform, left hand on his hip, right hand holding the Soul-Devouring Yin-Yang Hammer and slamming it heavily into the wooden board to show his powerful determination.

"Oh!"

Under the cover of night, a wolf's howl pierced the moonlit sky.

Xu Dan swallowed hard, feeling that the wind was a bit noisy tonight, and decided it was better to go inside.

Of course, he wasn't being cowardly; he was choosing a strategic retreat. It was solely to preserve his strength and await a better dawn. Then, he would deliver a backstab, a piercing blow, letting the opponent know what "a white knife in, a red knife out" truly meant.

Under the distant night sky, a pack of wolves and a family of antelopes met.

Or rather, the wolf pack caught up with the antelope.

The oryx family gathered together. The king oryx, head bowed, its two sharp horns raised, led the strongest male oryx in facing the wolf pack. The female oryx surrounded their young behind them, also bowing their heads and raising their sharp horns to face the enemy.

The young antelopes, mimicking their parents, lowered their heads, their two sharp horns gleaming.

Because this is their only weapon to defend their lives and dignity; it is an innate ability.

The wolf pack and the antelope family faced off, but the antelope family members guarded themselves so tightly that the wolf pack could not find an opportunity to attack. After a while, the white wolf king ran out of patience and howled to signal the wolf pack to attack.

The wolves pounced on the antelope family, but the antelope were already prepared.

The tallest and most powerful oryx king, standing at the very front, roared and charged forward. The strong male oryx followed. Only the female oryx remained, huddled together protecting their young.

The big blue wolf, oblivious to its own limitations, howled and charged forward, unaware that its sharp antelope horns were like spears.

The two met.

Almost instantly, the leading blue wolf was pierced by the fierce horns of the antelopes. Row upon row of antelopes, like waves, surged forward, relentlessly stabbing at the blue wolves. One blue wolf after another fell, but this did not frighten them; instead, the crimson blood only fueled their ferocity.

The antelope king did not charge at the ordinary blue wolf.

When it encountered the wolf pack, it suddenly leaped up, stepping on the backs of the wolves and charging towards the white wolf king.

It was very fast. As it approached the White Wolf King, it lunged forward and thrust its horns at the White Wolf King.

At this moment, the King of the Horned Antelope is a ray of light.

The White Wolf King was stunned, not expecting this to happen, and didn't react in time. A loyal blue wolf guard beside him rushed to push the White Wolf King aside, giving him a chance to live, but was pierced through the chest by the Horned Antelope King.

The antelope king pulled its bloody, sharp horn from the big blue wolf's chest, stepped on the wolf's corpse, and coldly and mercilessly watched the white wolf king flee into the distance.

"Ooh!"

The white wolf king was so frightened that he lost all will to fight and hastily summoned his pack back, fleeing as if his life depended on it.

Only after the antelope king and the wolf pack had gone far away did he turn back to his herd, touching the horns of the fighting antelope with his own sharp horns to acknowledge their bravery.

A pile of wolf carcasses lay on the ground, and several male oryx had also perished. Although they had won, it was a losing proposition. Their own kind would not return, but the prairie wolf pack had more than just these few. The mother oryx bowed her head, licking the body of her deceased male, while her young cried out in sorrow beside her. Sadly, the male oryx would never rise again.

After composing himself, the King of the antelopes led his team away, carrying the deceased male antelope on his back.

The grasslands are not home to just one pack of wolves, nor to just one type of carnivore.

The stench of blood and the sheer number of wolf carcasses here are bound to attract a pack of predators. If we don't leave now, we might not be able to leave later.

Fortunately, the tribespeople obediently left, though they were somewhat downcast and their voices were tinged with sadness. But there was nothing they could do; life was like that. Watching his tribe dwindle, the antelope king wondered if they should migrate to another place, because the number of wolves here was increasing.

I had a wonderful sleep.

Xu Dan got up, washed up quickly in the morning sun, and then spread out the two skins he had peeled off yesterday on a twig and put them in the sun to dry.

I didn't check carefully last night, and only now do I realize that the fur on both hides is very soft and smooth, but the color is a bit ordinary and not very attractive. Fortunately, Xu Dan doesn't care; he just got them to play with anyway, and if they don't work out, he'll just throw them away.

After finishing his meal, he continued his journey north to explore the route.

Just like yesterday, we dug for cordyceps as we walked.

Having experienced the delightful surprise of eating golden cordyceps yesterday, he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about digging for ordinary cordyceps. He mostly dug for golden cordyceps, only occasionally digging for ordinary cordyceps when he encountered one of exceptional quality and size. Today, he brought specially made equipment to dig for cordyceps.

It is a tool for digging caterpillar fungus, made from a piece of hardwood heartwood, about forty centimeters long, with a small shovel on one end and a pickaxe on the other.

Although it's not as good as an iron one, it's better than nothing under the current conditions. We can't keep digging by hand all the time!

With tools, digging things is much faster.

"Um"

Suddenly, the tool seemed to be blocked by something and could no longer be inserted. Xu Dan quickly dug in the soil, and after a while, he dug out a round object. He wiped it on the grass, rinsed it with water, and was surprised to find that the object did not rust in the soil.

This thing is a perfect circle, with one side slightly convex, resembling both a small mirror and a small moon. It shines brightly, like a stainless steel plate.

Xu Dan felt that this thing was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, a light suddenly appeared in my mind.

No wonder it looked familiar; wasn't this the breastplate from a theatrical costume? The more he looked at it, the more it resembled a breastplate. But this only confused him more. How could there be a breastplate and a Soul-Devouring Yin-Yang Hammer here? Could this have been an ancient battlefield? Otherwise, why were all the things he encountered weapons?

By the way, the first sword I ever got, the Eight-Degree Sword, was also a weapon.

If this weren't a battlefield, where would all these weapons come from?

But if it's a battlefield, how come there isn't even a trace of human life here?

Xu Dan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he simply stopped thinking about it to avoid getting a headache. Looking at the breastplate, he felt that it could be easily sliced ​​open with an eight-degree sword and made into a shovel or hoe for digging up cordyceps.

"Snap"

Xu Dan slapped his forehead, feeling a bit silly.

Why bother making a hoe? You could just deepen the concave side and turn it into a small pot. You could use it to cook things anywhere, which would be much better than making a shovel or hoe.

Xu Dan thought it made more and more sense, so he decided on it.
