Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Sneaking into the Village
Translator: 549690339
Black Mountain couldn’t possibly comprehend the complex emotions the Ghost-eye Wolf King under its paws was experiencing. It was simply regretful about its weak power, unable to bring with it the mighty and robust member of its kin.
If it had conquered its kin by its own power, rather than relying on righteous Qi, it would have appeared more impressive at this moment. But since it borrowed the Qi, it could only leave the Wolf King behind, who was unable to follow it.
The only option now was to find spiritual objects as quickly as possible to strengthen its power. It needed to possess a power that could suppress the Ghost-eye Wolf King without the aid of any external object. Then, it could genuinely make the Wolf King submit to it.
However, after running all night, Black Mountain discovered that the mountains were immense. Behind one mountain, there was another. Climbing over one mountain, only revealed more towering mountain ranges, endlessly stretching out, seemingly without end.
Under aimless wandering and searching, encountering a demon-beast would require immense luck.
Not all demon-beasts, like mountain wolves, would seek out numerous similar kin. They would rule over them, forming a massive tribe.
The vast majority of demon-beasts led solitary lives. Even if they used to live with their kind, after transforming into demons, they might choose to live alone. After all, even newly transformed demon-beasts have a fundamental difference from wild animals.
Therefore, Feng Qing’an’s suggestion to find spiritual objects by locating demon-beasts was still fraught with difficulties, and it’s not something that could be accomplished in a short time.
Not all demon-beasts have spiritual objects guarding them. Some spiritual objects might only grow once. Once they bear fruit, they wither and die after the fruit is eaten.
“It seems this matter can’t be accomplished in a day or two. However, there’s no rush. We have plenty of time. You just consumed lots of Spirit Grass. You need some time to digest it!”
By the break of dawn, Black Mountain had obtained nothing. It wasn’t that it didn’t encounter any demon-beasts, but the demon-beasts within these mountains were neither fools nor blind.
Ordinary wild beasts couldn’t see the Qi, but to the demon-beasts, the golden light was too conspicuous in the dark night. Even if they did not know what it was, their animal instinct could still make them sense the tremendous danger.
Seeing something beyond their cognition, suddenly appearing around them, or even attempting to approach them, the caution established when they were wild beasts would make most demon-beasts choose to evade immediately.
Not all demon-beasts are naive like the Ghost-eye Wolf King, relying on its vast tribe, daring to approach, and then being trampled under Black Mountain’s paws.
Can’t they avoid it if they can’t provoke it?
Therefore, although Black Mountain patrolled the mountains all night wanting to find spiritual objects, it gained nothing substantial.
“Black Mountain, it’s dawn. Come back!”
When the rising sun cast golden rays on the mountain range, Black Mountain, leading its wolf pack, started retreating towards the outside of the mountain, but on its halfway, it heard Feng Qing’an’s slightly serious voice.
“Your current size can still be explained away as you eating well, but when you advance another level, or even become an entity of the same level as the Wolf King, I’m afraid you won’t be able to enter the village anymore!”
This was Feng Qing’an’s current concern. Black Mountain was initially larger than other village dogs, which caused panic among some villagers. Presently, after turning into a demon-beast, Black Mountain’s size had drastically increased.
It can still be explained now, but if Black Mountain really advances to Spirit Awakening or even breaks through to become a War General level beast.
Reflecting on the Ghost-eye Wolf King, Black Mountain might even possess a colossal physique comparable to the oxen at home. Not even Er Pang’s father would believe that such a size could come from eating meat.
No matter how you look at it, this is not a physique that wolves can eat to gain, and only transformation could explain it.
Common folk have always been extremely vigilant and fearful of these strange creatures endowed with human-like intelligence. Even his parents might fail to accept it.
Howle-
Black Mountain, which hadn’t been back in the village for a few days, heard what Feng Qing’an had to say, and its already gloomy mood suddenly worsened.
“Black Mountain, I’m thinking of finding a dog similar to you to replace you. It can distract attention when you’re out and not able to come back for a long time.
“Howl-woof—
Hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, Black Mountain reacted extremely agitatedly. It even barked, which it hadn’t done for a long time.
“Stop getting excited, I only raised you as a dog, and I don’t want to raise a second one.”
Feng Qing’an came up with this solution. As Black Mountain grows bigger and bigger, sooner or later, it would be impossible to explain with common sense.
Although he existed, Black Mountain is boundless. Maybe it could master divine power like the enlargement or reduction transformations, allowing it to control its size. But in the meantime, how should Black Mountain handle it? He had just obtained the “Condensing Spirit Bone Tempering Skill” but hasn’t used it on Black Mountain yet. He had a feeling that the results should be better. “How about you just disappear and stop coming back!”
Seeing Black Mountain’s overreaction, Feng Qing’an proposed another solution. If Black Mountain didn’t want another dog to impersonate it, it might as well abandon its identity within the village. It could simply stay in the mountains as the Wolf King.
In the eyes of others in the village, Black Mountain was just a robust and fierce dog. Even if it disappeared, not many people would care.
“Howl—”
Black Mountain became even more agitated.
It couldn’t imagine another dog interacting intimately with Feng Qing’an, even getting pet on the head. Yet, it was even more reluctant to return to the courtyard that was its den.
“Geez, you’re really hard to serve. Alright, just come back!”
Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but curse. Although Black Mountain could roam the mountains, it was still just a child at heart.
If it wasn’t willing, then they had to find a way. If it didn’t work out in the end, they could simply flip the situation. It could be the Wolf King in the mountains in the daytime and sneak back to the village at night.
Whining-
Hearing Feng Qing’an like this, Black Mountain finally let out an excited cheer. Its cheerful footsteps became more energetic, and it started running wildly between the mountains.
By dusk, Black Mountain’s figure appeared at the entrance of the village. At that same moment, a group of people returning from outside saw the figure of Black Mountain and were startled.
“What’s that?” “That’s the dog Feng Qing’an raised, it’s Black Mountain!”
“It’s huge!”
“A dog raised on meat will naturally be different from ours. If you’re willing, you might be able to raise one like this..”
