Chapter 350: The Pig Demon Who Doesn't Eat Fine Bran
Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao stopped by a mountain stream.
The fishy, foul smell from before is gone, which is refreshing, since nobody likes a bad smell.
Gu Heng glanced at the spire of the ancient secret palace. They were already very close, probably only two miles away at most.
"Yes, we're very close now."
Gu Heng murmured.
Then he found a place to sit down.
"Girl, if you're tired, take a rest."
He looked at Qin Yiyao, who was still eager to try, and said.
Although Qin Yiyao kept saying she still had a lot of energy, Gu Heng felt that this girl sometimes just wanted to show off. She might have been tired a long time ago, but she just had to be stubborn and refused to admit it. Anyway, this wasn't the first time Gu Heng had seen her like this.
Of course, Gu Heng still didn't want her to be stubborn.
"Master."
"Ok?"
"I'm not tired. I can walk the rest of the way by myself."
Qin Yiyao said earnestly.
As they drew closer to the Ancient Secret Palace, Qin Yiyao felt that Gu Heng had done enough by escorting her this far; the rest of the way... she should walk on her own.
She knew that the reason Gu Heng escorted her so far was because he knew that the Ancient Secret Palace was a celestial-level secret realm, and he had to escort her at least close enough.
Qin Yiyao felt that Gu Heng would not go in.
Because he himself may already be at the "Immortal Rank," this secret realm rising abruptly from the mountains was summoned by him.
This place is of no use to him.
So, Gu Heng had already done enough by dropping her off here. When he said he needed to rest, it couldn't be because he was really tired. Rather, he was subtly telling her that his journey had come to an end.
After all, it seems a bit odd for the master to accompany his disciple on his training and exploration of secret realms.
The rest is up to Qin Yiyao to handle.
"...Alright, then go ahead."
Gu Heng looked at her, seeing how serious she was and how strong she seemed, and said this.
Oh dear, the little girl is disgusted with him.
Gu Heng didn't actually feel tired, but he just didn't want to rush. The surrounding mountains, forests, streams, and springs were quite beautiful, and he couldn't ignore the scenery around him just to see what the ancient secret palace looked like.
However, Qin Yiyao clearly didn't think that way. She just wanted to go and see that ancient secret palace as soon as possible.
Gu Heng thought for a moment. There were less than two miles left. He figured there wouldn't be any wild animals or anything like that on that short distance, so the little girl could walk by herself.
Besides, she practices swordsmanship so much, it can't all be fancy stuff. And I make her medicinal mud baths every week to strengthen her body. Although she still looks a bit delicate, she must be quite strong!
She had even gone hunting in that "Thousand Swords Hunting Ground" before.
Looking back now, Gu Heng feels that her decision was right, and she is also grateful to that young master Xiao Ling for being willing to let her go hunting and see some blood.
Therefore, this short distance is no problem for Qin Yiyao to walk by herself.
"But remember to be careful."
Just in case, he still wanted to give him more instructions.
"Okay, there won't be any problems at all." Qin Yiyao assured her firmly, "Don't worry, Master!"
"Okay, I believe you."
Gu Heng smiled slightly.
"Thank you, Master."
Qin Yiyao smiled, revealing her teeth, and then started walking towards the Ancient Secret Palace.
Once she was out of sight, she used her movement technique to hop and skip around in the woods, having a great time!
Normally, when Qin Yiyao was by Gu Heng's side, although her master was very strong, he preferred to live a secluded life in the mortal realm. He especially liked to say that he was a mortal and did everything like a mortal. Therefore, Qin Yiyao understood him and never used any martial arts techniques in front of him, so as not to upset him.
Now Master can no longer see.
Then Qin Yiyao can run and jump happily!
……
Gu Heng sat by the mountain stream, humming a little tune. Qin Yiyao went ahead first, and he wasn't in a hurry to follow, letting the girl wander around by herself first.
After resting for about an hour, Gu Heng decided to set off, but before he had gone far, he heard a rustling sound nearby, which made him wary.
Then suddenly, a wild boar appeared!
This wild boar was rather large, with glossy black fur, sharp tusks, and scarlet eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.
Gu Heng was surprised when he took a look, because this was the first time he had ever seen such a big wild boar since he came to this world. Several years ago, when Gu Heng went hunting in the mountains by himself, the wild boars he encountered were not this big.
Shouldn't it be said that different environments and soils can produce different kinds of animals?
In that moment of hesitation, the ferocious wild boar pounced, its gaping maw revealing gleaming white tusks, seemingly intent on biting Gu Heng to death. "Haha! I never expected to find a delicate mortal here!"
The fierce boar spirit thought to itself.
Just now, the Stone Vein Demon Emperor ordered the hunt down all humans in this mountain range. As one of his subordinates, the Fierce Boar Demon Spirit also split up and acted separately. He had already killed more than a dozen human cultivators on his way here.
But they didn't eat any of it.
It's a rather picky eater; it loves to eat ordinary people.
The flesh of mortals is actually far inferior to that of cultivators, because the flesh and blood of cultivators are nourished by spiritual energy and are therefore much more delicate.
In comparison, the flesh of ordinary people is not as fragrant and is rather coarse.
But the Fierce Boar Demon Spirit is the kind of monster that doesn't like to eat fine chaff.
Now that there are actually mortals to eat, the fiery boar demon didn't even have time to think and pounced straight at them! Time to break their fast!
Then it saw the mortal in front of it slowly take out a bow and an arrow.
The fierce boar spirit wanted to laugh out loud.
This mortal actually dared to resist; his courage is commendable. It's just a pity that such a broken bow and arrow couldn't even pierce his flesh. The cultivators he just crushed under his pig's hooves were all at the Nascent Soul stage.
Even they can only shave their own hair.
"Fine, I'll let you resist for a bit, and then I can taste the fear you feel before you die!"
Thinking this, the fierce boar spirit let out a sharp squeal.
Then, the mortal released the arrow. The fiery boar spirit, imagining the arrow breaking through its tough, iron-like skin, was so frightened that the mortal turned pale...
Until the arrow pierced its skull, turning its small brain into a pulp, the fiery boar spirit's mind was filled with nothing but reckless charging forward.
Shoot those ignorant mortals to death!
By the time they realized something was wrong, death had already consumed the pig.
