Labuda walked in front and spilled the blood on the ground. Wu Jun followed behind him. It seemed that the accident last time had left a knot in Labuda's heart. He did not use an oblique approach, and Wu Jun did not insist.
Today's harvest was not bad. An adult ox beast was pierced by Wu Jun's horn and died. Ever since he ate three crystals, although Wu Jun's body did not mutate, his physique had strengthened a lot. It was not difficult to kill this adult ox beast now. However, Wu Jun was still careful and did not show his full strength. He only looked more relaxed than before.
Labda did not ask how Wu Jun escaped from the wolf pack, nor did he explain why he left him behind.
Wu Jun knew that the language barrier was not working, so he did not have the intention to start a conversation! At night, they ate a lot of beef around the bonfire. Wu Jun suggested going out for a walk. Labda wanted to wave at Wu Jun, but since they were not far from the village, Labda did not insist. After roasting a few more pieces of meat, he went to sleep when he saw that Wu Jun had not returned.
It was not until dawn that Labuda woke up and found that Wu Jun was sleeping not far away. There were still leftover cow bones beside him! There was also a calf beside him that Wu Jun had hunted.
Labuda did not suspect anything when he saw this. Wu Jun woke up with nothing in his arms. He let out a long sigh of relief and buried the remaining parts of the adult cow beast with Labuda. After eating a few mouthfuls of roasted meat, he dragged the calf back to the tent tribe.
Wu Jun returned to his tent and lay down on the bed!
He was really exhausted. The valley where Sabu had hidden his food was quite far away. Wu Jun had used all his strength to cover his entire body with the red light membrane, so he could run back and forth before dawn. Originally, Wu Jun wanted to hunt further away, but Labuda was worried that the wolf beastmen would smell their remaining scent, so he insisted on hunting not far from the village.
"I hope we won't be discovered!" Wu Jun hid his palm under the axe, separated by some sand! The probability of being discovered by Scattered was not high.
Perhaps he didn't read the engraving carefully. The crystal pit and the culture medium needed a corresponding carrier, such as the bone of a cow or the skin of a beast. Otherwise, the culture medium could only increase the quality and might not be able to stimulate the Ancient Soul. Of course, this was Wu Jun's own understanding. He compared the carrier to a filter paper. Indeed, most substances would stagnate on the filter paper, but the true essence would slip away quietly, just like a person.
Many foods had a lot of essence, but why was it that after eating it, people would not notice it clearly, but after pooping, it would make the crops grow healthily?
This was because most essences could not be retained. It was the same for food and jingshi. Crystals were where a beast absorbed the essence of elements. It could be accumulated over a few years or even decades. Humans seemed to have become stronger after devouring crystals, but in fact, they had only absorbed a small portion. Most of them were still consumed, such as that strange healing ability!
Could an ox bone axe withstand the supply of so many jingshi?
Perhaps there was something that could withstand it, but Wu Jun believed that it was no ordinary object.
On the way back, Wu Jun was in a good mood! To be honest, when he first arrived in this world, he felt that every day was particularly difficult because he could not communicate with others, and it was even useless in this barren land. But now, he realized that every civilization had its uses. He had a different interpretation of many things, and compared to others, it was more logical and feasible. Compared to strength, human intelligence was the key to the head of all souls.
The moment he buried his palm, Wu Jun had a feeling of anticipation.
A year was not long. Wu Jun was already 29 years old this year! He did not expect to spend his 30th birthday in this strange world. The sky was bright, but there was no sunlight shining. There was no sun rising from the east and setting from the west!
A month passed quickly. Every day, Labda would still bring Wu Jun out to hunt. Sometimes, he would teach Wu Jun some hunter skills and experience. He also hunted a few red crystals. Labda was very generous and did not force Wu Jun to devour them. It seemed that he also understood that it was not good to eat too many red crystals. He gave Wu Jun half of the crystals he hunted. Labda did not devour them himself but stuffed them into his arms. He asked Bula to tell Wu Jun that these crystals could be sold in the towns of awakened Ancestral Souls. Jingshi was also divided into grades! The level of the crystals of the ox beasts was not high. It would take a few to cause a mutation. Many families would buy one for their children. In this world, it was good to have more survivability. One ox beast crystal would not cause a mutation. Labda understood this, so he forced one into Wu Jun's mouth.
Wu Jun guessed that Labda's rights to awaken as an Ancestral Spirit might have been exchanged for a large number of red crystals. Sabu was walking the path of mutation, constantly devouring red crystals and turning himself into a monster. Perhaps the cow beast crystals could no longer satisfy his mutation needs, or perhaps he happened to find a broken leather, and Sabu was walking the path of constantly becoming stronger. As for Labda, his pair of hooves might have been an accident. No one could say for sure how many crystals he had eaten before he mutated. Or perhaps he had wanted to walk the path of Sahu.
Was it because of Bula? Wu Jun had also thought about it before. Sabhu believed that the stronger he was, the more Bula would love him. However, he had become a monster, and Labda had used the crystals he had exchanged for his life to exchange for the chance to awaken the ancestral soul, which was bound to fail, for the sake of Bula not eating the red crystals.
It should be known that Shabu could easily kill the cow beasts with crystals, but Labuda didn't want to become a monster, so his mutation stopped! Even hunting an adult ox beastman had to be treated seriously.
When Wu Jun was lying on the bed alone, he thought a lot! He was also considering whether he should tell Labuda about the fact that he could devour crystals after reaching adulthood at the age of 28 without any mutation. However, after thinking about it, he still felt that it was a little inappropriate. Wu Jun had once swallowed three crystals, two of which were wolf crystals of higher quality than cow beasts. Wu Jun was not clear about the classification of these crystals, but those few silver hairs made him wary. Although they eventually fell, they had grown before!
It was not long before the day of awakening the ancestral soul. Wu Jun did not swallow the crystal and hid it in the pit under his bed.
It was impossible to nurture Sabu's bone axe for a lifetime. According to Wu Jun's estimation, the axe had a limit to its endurance. Every few days, Wu Jun would take the opportunity to go to Sabu's valley to take a look when he went hunting with Labda. Of course, he would also observe Sabu's movements at the same time. Every time he found Sabu nearby, Wu Jun would give up on checking.
Wu Jun observed the bone axe closely. If the results were the same after a few days, it would mean that the bone axe had reached its limit, and Sabhu would take it away.
At that time, there was a risk of being discovered by Wu Jun's buried palm. Therefore, Wu Jun had been trying to hunt down cattle beasts that contained crystals during this period of time.
The crystal pit under the bed hid all the crystals that Wu Jun had collected. Sometimes, Wu Jun would also use the night to find an opportunity to hunt. Although the number of crystals in the crystal pit was not as many as the one that was scattered, it was still considered to be on a certain scale.
Wu Jun estimated the time. It was not far from the day of awakening the ancestral soul. The bone ax was white and faintly emitted a white light, but Wu Jun knew that this ax might have reached its end.
"Maybe it's time to take it out!"
