Chapter 88: Smashing a Primordial Ferocious Beast | Qian Renxue: Is He Always Like This?
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Left slam! Right slam!
In the distance, Qian Renxue stared blankly at the scene before her, her mouth hanging open from the very beginning and never once closing.
A baby who hadn't even been weaned yet was swinging a primordial ferocious beast around and smashing it crazily against the ground.
What the hell…
Thinking back to what she had just said about not being able to confront it head-on, Qian Renxue suddenly felt her face turn slightly red.
Meanwhile, the Blackwater Poison Flood Dragon that was being violently smashed by Little One quickly turned into a pile of mangled flesh, completely losing all signs of life.
"Hmph!"
After finishing everything, Little One casually tossed the dragon corpse aside. He dusted off his small hands, then immediately changed to an innocent expression.
He happily ran over, picked up the beast milk jar on the ground, and began gulping it down.
"Gulp… gulp…"
"..."
The entire area fell into complete silence.
Only the sound of Little One drinking milk echoed through the air.
T-This… Is it over?
Looking at the harmless-looking Little One, Qian Renxue felt her worldview shatter once again.
She had long known that Shi Hao possessed astonishing strength.
But she never expected his physical defense to be this terrifying as well.
"Snow girl, don't just stand there!"
Compared to Qian Renxue's shock, Shi Linhu and the other men of Stone Village had long been used to scenes like this.
They rubbed their hands excitedly and rushed forward.
"Quick! Drain the blood while it's still warm!"
"Even if it's only a creature from the outer region, flood dragon blood is excellent for body tempering!"
"Pi Hou! Go pick up that broken dragon horn. That's perfect material for making bone weapons!"
"Er Meng! Pull out the dragon tendon!"
Watching everyone skillfully dismantling the corpse, Qian Renxue finally snapped out of her daze and hurried forward to help.
After the group finished processing the meat of the poison flood dragon, Shi Linhu walked over to Little One and said,
"Little One, Lord Liu Shen said a great calamity may soon arise in the Great Wilderness."
"This little bit of meat probably won't be enough."
"We need to stock up on food while we still can."
After speaking, Shi Linhu rubbed Little One's head. Then he lifted the milk-drinking Shi Hao and placed him on his shoulder.
With a wave of his hand, he shouted:
"Everyone, be careful."
"Let's keep moving. See if we can find any bigger prey!"
…
The group continued deeper into the forest.
As they advanced, the ancient trees around them grew taller and taller, eventually blocking out nearly all the sunlight.
Along the way, they encountered several small beasts.
Unfortunately, they were too small, with pitiful amounts of meat, not even enough to feed a single grown man.
Finally, as they continued walking, the group discovered a massive cave between two stone mountains.
The cave entrance was pitch black.
It looked deep and ominous.
Scattered around the entrance were countless enormous white skeletons.
Some of the bones even emitted a faint glow, clearly belonging to powerful, ferocious beasts during their lifetimes.
Not only that—
When the people of Stone Village approached a little closer, they could feel waves of scorching heat pouring from the cave along with a thick smell of sulfur.
"This…"
Among everyone present, the most shocked were the people watching behind the Sky Screen on the Douluo Continent.
"This scene… doesn't it look exactly like that Divine Ape cave the Titan Giant Ape once broke into?"
"Oh no. There's definitely something big inside!"
"Exactly! Why aren't they running? They'll all end up in a ferocious beast's stomach!"
…
However, just as the people of the Douluo Continent expected the villagers of Stone Village to panic and scatter—
Little One suddenly jumped down from Shi Linhu's shoulder.
He rubbed his round little belly.
Then, without saying a word, he walked straight into the cave.
"ROAR!!!"
Not long after Little One entered the cave, Qian Renxue and the others waiting outside suddenly heard a terrifying beast roar erupt from deep within.
The sound alone made their eardrums ache, their blood and qi churning violently.
Immediately afterward—
The entire Stone Mountain began to shake violently.
Countless boulders rolled down the slopes as if a magnitude-ten earthquake had struck!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Hearing the deafening noises coming from inside the cave, Qian Renxue asked anxiously,
"Can… Can Little One handle it?"
"Relax, relax. Little One will come out in a moment."
Beside her, Pi Hou walked over casually.
He placed both hands behind his head and chewed on an unknown grass root he had picked from somewhere.
His expression looked extremely relaxed.
Just as he finished speaking—
BOOM!
A loud explosion echoed from the cave.
Moments later, through the rolling dust at the entrance, a small figure slowly walked out.
It was the little Shi Hao.
But now—
In his right hand, he was dragging a massive red beast the size of a small mountain.
It was a One-Horned Blazing Fire Bear.
Its body stretched nearly twenty meters long.
Its fur resembled burning crystalline flames, and on its forehead grew a crimson horn surrounded by intricate fire runes.
If such a ferocious beast appeared on the Douluo Continent, it would absolutely be a creature a thousand times more terrifying than the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
Yet now—
Its once-hard skull had been completely caved in.
It was thoroughly dead.
After dragging the One-Horned Blazing Fire Bear out, Shi Hao casually swung his arm.
"Boom!"
Just like that, the bear, weighing over a hundred thousand jin, was thrown in front of everyone, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.
Scalding beast blood flowed from its collapsed skull, instantly corroding the ground into patches of charred pits.
"..."
After witnessing such a brutal scene firsthand, Qian Renxue was completely speechless.
She stared blankly at the corpse still radiating terrifying heat.
Then she looked at Shi Hao, who wasn't even breathing heavily.
After a long while, she stiffly turned her head and asked Pi Hou, who was busy cutting up the bear's meat, skin, and horn:
"Is… he always like this?"
Hearing this, Pi Hou raised his head and thought for a moment.
Then he scratched his head with a smile.
"Not always."
Hearing that, Qian Renxue finally let out a sigh of relief.
But Pi Hou continued handling the bear meat while muttering:
"Sometimes when he meets something stronger, he just carries the big guy back on his shoulders."
"Only the weaker ones like this get beaten to death directly."
Qian Renxue: "..."
Seeing her stunned expression, the men of Stone Village burst into good-natured laughter.
Yet the bone knives in their hands never stopped moving as they skillfully dismantled the enormous bear corpse.
"You'll get used to it! You'll get used to it!"
Looking at these villagers chatting and laughing as if they had just hunted an ordinary rabbit, Qian Renxue truly didn't know what to say.
However—
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of their harvest and preparing to casually hunt another several tens of thousands of jin of meat before returning to the village—
A strange wind suddenly blew through the previously stifling forest without any warning.
