Chapter 12 (2/2)

However, since he began cultivating martial arts, and possessed a top-notch Good Grade military saber, his hidden ambition burned fiercely, like a prairie fire.

Following that, he hurried toward the… The South of the military camp.

The west of the military camp was where the dangerous forest was situated. For those who entered it, one would either return with glory or be killed in the forest.

While Ou Yangming was ambitious, he was not a fool, so he knew that his present self was not qualified enough to enter the forest. Perhaps his dream would come true one day, but it would definitely not happen now.

Should he venture into the forest now, he would very likely become food for a ferocious beast, and would later turn into feces, which was only an insignificant source of nutrition for the plants.

Thus, he got rid of his delusion and ran toward the south.

There was also a camp that occupied a huge s.p.a.ce at the south side of the military camp, but it was loosely guarded, so n.o.body noticed Ou Yangming when he tried to sneak in.

The camp was surrounded by a railing made of wood, and the place smelled so awful that people would want to leave when they got close.

Despite that, it seemed to be Ou Yangming’s first time smelling the scent. He went closer to the railing carefully, then lowered his hand, and crawled in in a flash.

After walking along the railing for a while, he entered a barracks.

In the barracks, numerous white and fat pigs were scattered everywhere, gobbling up food from a hollow stone trough.

Pigs.

Yes, this was where livestock was most abundant in the camp.

In comparison with the dense forest in the west, the giant pigpen was extremely safe.

After Ou Yangming looked around to confirm that n.o.body was present, he took a deep breath, then pulled his military saber out of its scabbard. The moment his Military Fire flashed, the strangest attribute in his mind instantly entered the saber.

Next, there was a wonderful change to the military saber’s attributes.

[Item: Outstanding military saber (Red)]

[Equivalent Rank: Ordinary Tool, Good Grade, Rank Five]

[Attributes: Sharpness +10, Toughness +10, Devouring +1, Durability 6]

On top of the base attributes, a devouring +1 attributed was added. Besides, the item’s name had the word red shown in a bracket.

Ou Yangming was stunned. ‘What does the red mean?’

When he killed Zhang Hanyu, he did not recall seeing a similar word.

‘Was it because I used a broken saber, so the words didn’t show?’

He shook his head, then got rid of all his questions. He had come here to verify something, not figure out the military saber’s secret.

When he looked at the fat pigs, so focused on eating that they neglected their surroundings, he gritted his teeth, then slashed his saber at the fattest pig.

Owing to the fact that his military saber was a treasure saber that was at the peak of Good Grade, a slash could split normal steel, let alone a person’s body.

With that, the saber was slashed into the domestic pig’s body.

Next, a strange thing happened.

The domestic pig actually had a body that was much bigger than Ou Yangming’s and was probably 500 to 600 pounds, so it should not die immediately after being slashed by a saber.

That being said, when the saber cut the pig’s body, the pig s.h.i.+vered violently and fell to the ground, unable to move. Later, it shriveled at average speed, and its flesh, its skin, and its bones transformed into energy that was absorbed by Ou Yangming’s saber.

Instead of staying in the military saber, the energies gushed into his body through the saber.

Consequently, Ou Yangming felt his blood boil, and he became unusually excited. Additionally, he felt that he was filled with Qi and blood again.

In a flash, a huge domestic pig vanished into thin air, even its hair had disappeared.

Ou Yangming breathed heavily, his eyes were bright, and he cheered to himself.

‘As expected, that’s what happens!’
