Chapter 21 begins
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed since Shi An first entered the Realm of the Void Gods and fought with Shi Yi.
During these two years, Shi An would occasionally enter the Void God Realm, breaking records there and seeking out powerful individuals to fight against.
This has led to Shi An's growing fame in the Void God Realm over the past two years, with numerous powerful forces extending olive branches to him in an attempt to recruit him.
Unfortunately, no matter what conditions they offered, Shi An was not tempted at all, because for him, what he lacked was never resources. With the blood of the Ancestral Witch, he didn't need too many cultivation resources, at least in the early stages.
What he truly needs is experience, which means combat, and specifically, life-or-death battles. This is why he frequently challenges pure-blooded beings to duels.
Indeed, after breaking several records in the initial area, Shi An had Willow God send him to the next level. There, he did not hide from people to develop his strength as he did in the first level, but instead targeted pure-blooded creatures.
All sorts of creatures, such as the Golden-Winged Roc, the Nine-Headed Lion, the Zhujian, and the Golden Divine Ox, became stepping stones for Shi An to hone himself.
These pure-blooded beings each possess unique skills and astonishing power. Fighting against them made Shi An feel that his physical body was becoming increasingly resilient, and his bones even faintly revealed an indestructible radiance, as if he could shatter the Void God Realm with a single punch.
Of course, this was just an illusion, but thanks to this, Shi An's strength also changed greatly. He not only opened up two more cave heavens, but also successfully condensed the phantom of Di Jiang in the first cave heaven.
Although, it seems, this caused all the bloodstains belonging to Dijiang on the Chaos Bell to be transferred into this phantom.
Furthermore, as time went on, Shi An's reputation in the Void God Realm grew increasingly prominent, inevitably attracting the attention of those ancient races.
They were astonished that an unknown boy could rise so quickly, even threatening their status as pure-blooded descendants.
Therefore, some ancient forces began to secretly plot to find out Shi An's true identity and nip him in the bud.
Although Shi An was not entirely clear about these things, he had anticipated them.
Therefore, apart from the time he unexpectedly encountered Shi Yi, he never used his real name when he was wandering in the Realm of the Void Gods, and he even disguised his appearance with his abilities.
Therefore, it is virtually impossible for those people in the Realm of the Void to find his true identity.
Thinking of the disciples of ancient sects and kingdoms who are likely wandering around the Void God Realm right now, Shi An couldn't help but smile.
His smile, instead of being a problem, drew curious and puzzled looks from his friends who had been listening intently to his tales of the Void God Realm.
Among them, a little girl, very fair-skinned and pretty, like a porcelain doll, turned her big, dark eyes around, waved her delicate little hand at him, and said in a childish voice, "Brother Xiao An, what are you laughing at? Can you tell us?"
The little guy is adorable, with his innocent movements and babbling; he's so endearing.
Looking at the little guy's adorable appearance, Shi An couldn't help but reach out and pat his head, then said with a smile, "Little Hao, I wasn't laughing at anything. I just thought of something funny and found it quite amusing."
"Something interesting? Can you tell us too, Xiao An? We'd love to hear it!"
Upon hearing the word "interesting," the surrounding children gathered around, their eyes sparkling with curiosity, clearly intrigued by the "interesting story" Shi An was talking about.
Seeing this, Shi An had no choice but to pick out some more interesting stories and tell them to everyone.
Only when a voice came did the group reluctantly leave.
"The hunting party is back!"
Watching his friends' departing figures, Shi An felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
In the past two years, although he has experienced countless battles in the Realm of the Gods, returning to the village and spending time with these pure and kind companions always brings him a unique warmth and tranquility.
Thinking about it, Shi An shook his head, took the little one's hand, and headed towards the village entrance.
"It's Ah Hu and the others!"
"Ah Hu and the others are back."
·······
Before long, amidst cheers, dozens of people appeared on the horizon. Against the backdrop of the setting sun and evening glow, they seemed to be edged with gold, appearing incredibly tall and majestic.
"My goodness! Look at the quantity! So much prey! This is an incredibly rare and bountiful harvest!"
Almost everyone was dragging a huge, ferocious beast: a monstrous creature resembling a red leopard, a rhinoceros-like beast the size of an ox, and a serpent as thick as a water bucket with fleshy wings...
The village elders all looked terrified, knowing that these creatures were extremely difficult to deal with, some even being considered ferocious beasts.
For example, the rhinoceros antler has skin as black as cast iron, and can only leave white marks when chopped with knives and axes. Its sharp horn on its forehead is like a hook, which can easily pierce through a rock wall ten feet thick.
And then there was that ferocious beast, whose roar was like the clash of metal and stone; those who heard it would have their blood boil and die, bleeding from all seven orifices.
As for the serpent with fleshy wings that spread out and cover the sky, it is a scourge of disaster for the land. When it flaps its wings, it can summon a raging flood that submerges the entire mountain forest, which is extremely terrifying.
In addition, there are several more powerful creatures among the prey, such as the Bifang bird with its body burning with blue flames, and the Fei, a calamity beast with one eye and a snake tail... These are all truly ferocious beasts!
In the past, if I spotted them, I would not only avoid them, but I would also immediately walk away from them at first glance.
But today they were hunted down, and so many of them at that! This is completely illogical!
"Speaking of which, this time it was all luck. These giant beasts were like freebies, acquired effortlessly."
Perhaps sensing everyone's confusion, Shi Linhu, the captain of the hunting team, immediately laughed and explained to everyone.
It turns out that in the past few nights, giant beasts have been passing through the mountains from time to time, accidentally trampling and injuring many mountain animals.
This allowed them to kill many severely wounded ferocious beasts during their daytime pursuit.
But when they heard Shi Linhu say that there was a footprint in the mountain that was nearly a hundred meters long and resembled a human foot, everyone gasped in surprise, because it was really too big.
Even the village elders couldn't help but gasp, increasingly feeling that something unusual had happened deep in the mountains, attracting some remnants and ferocious beasts from the vicinity of the Great Wilderness.
However, no matter what, it was a great harvest. For a time, everyone in the village was overjoyed, and the children's laughter echoed through the sky, filling the air with joy.
Before long, led by clan chief Shi Yunfeng, the group carried dozens of beast corpses to the foot of the lightning-struck tree and placed all the remains of the ferocious beasts on a huge stone platform.
This should clearly be an altar.
The altar was large and spacious, built of huge stones, and located next to a broken piece of lightning-struck wood.
