Zheng Niu pointed toward the north.“To the north lies a special region. Once every five years, a portal opens and connects our world to a small world. That place is extremely dangerous because it contains many ferocious beasts and various kinds of traps, but it also contains countless opportunities and treasures left behind by ancient experts. With your strength, I believe you have the ability to survive there. If you are interested, you can come with me. I will also tell you about some things you need to pay attention to before we enter.”Shi Yan’s eyes immediately lit up.“Of course I will go, Senior Zheng. Does Master not often say that opportunities are always hidden within danger? As long as a person is not afraid of taking risks, the greater the danger they face, the greater the opportunity they may obtain. I may have only recently left the forest, but I do not want to continue living by relying only on safe places. If that small world truly contains so many opportunities, I wa

Beng!Shi Yan’s fist collided with the giant beast’s claw.In an instant, tremendous force erupted between them.The nearly five-meter-tall Blackscale Wolf was suddenly sent flying more than a dozen meters.Boom!Its massive body crashed heavily onto the ground.Before it could even get back up, red flames had already engulfed its entire body.The flames emerged from Shi Yan’s fist and spread across its black scales.The Blackscale Wolf went berserk.It rolled repeatedly across the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames.However, the flames only burned even more fiercely.Roar!Its roar shook the entire forest.Zheng Niu, who had been preparing to help, immediately widened his eyes.He stood frozen as he stared at the scene before him.Previously, he had deliberately refrained from interfering immediately.He had only warned Shi Yan because he wanted to let his Junior Brother learn for himself that not every danger could be faced easily. If Shi Yan were ever in a truly dangerou

Shi Yan turned his head and smiled at Zheng Niu.“Brother Zheng, I understand what you are worried about. But you do not need to be afraid on my behalf. If they want the things we obtained through our own efforts, then they should at least have the courage to take them themselves. Besides, I want to know exactly how strong these people are. If we retreat every time someone stronger appears, then how are we supposed to cultivate?”Zheng Niu was rendered speechless by those words.Two people behind Zhong We suddenly moved.Without waiting for an order, they leaped forward.The two of them immediately attacked Shi Yan.One of them came from the side, throwing a punch wrapped in blue energy.Wush!Shi Yan leaped toward the left.The attack only struck empty air.However, another attack came from behind and caught up with him instantly.A blue sphere of energy exploded the moment it made contact.Bamb!Smoke billowed into the air.The two men smiled and immediately leaped backward.They we

Zhong We did not even have time to scream a second time.The gigantic shadow lunged from beneath the surface of the river.Its enormous mouth opened wide.In a single movement, Zhong We's entire body was swallowed.Splash!The surface of the river churned violently once again.A few seconds later, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.Zheng Niu stood at the riverbank with a complicated expression.He stared at the surface of the water as it gradually became calm again, then sighed."It's over."Shi Yan nodded casually."Then let's go. There's no point standing here any longer."He turned around and began walking.No one noticed that Shi Yan had been holding something in his hand the entire time.A spatial ring.It was Zhong We's ring, which Shi Yan had secretly taken when he dragged Zhong We's body toward the river.Shi Yan glanced at the ring.He made sure Zheng Niu was looking in another direction before calmly placing it inside his own spatial ring.The ri

Zheng Niu showed no mercy at all.Even though the man continued begging and pleading for forgiveness, Zheng Niu's expression remained cold. The hatred he had suppressed for so long seemed to have reached its limit. The sword in his hand moved again.Stab!Stab!Stab!Several deep thrusts pierced through the man's body. Blood flowed down his clothes and dripped onto the ground. His screams gradually weakened until his body finally stopped moving.Shi Yan simply sat beneath a tree with his back against the trunk, watching everything.He had no intention of stopping Zheng Niu.From Zheng Niu's expression, Shi Yan could tell that the man truly held a deep grudge against his opponent. As long as Zheng Niu was not attacking an innocent person, Shi Yan saw no reason to interfere in his affairs.A few moments later, Zheng Niu pulled out his sword.He shook the blood from the blade before returning it to its sheath.Then he walked toward Shi Yan and sat beside him.For a while, neither of them
