Chapter 195 - Explosive Wolf Fangs (2/2)

The eyes of Ni Yinghong and He Liangce glowed at the same time. They had guessed it when Ou Yangming employed his Military Fire earlier, but the explosive wolf fang’s might was so powerful that it was beyond their expectations. “Nice! Ah… If I had these items just now, I wouldn’t have needed to…” He Liangce shook his head. He sounded rather regretful, which made it obvious that he paid quite a huge price to slaughter the wolf king.

Ou Yangming laughed and suggested, “Let’s continue our journey.”

“Wait.” He Liangce reached out his hand to stop him. He turned around to approach the wolf king, then he retrieved a dagger to cut the wolf’s body and took out a small pill-sized ball.

Ou Yangming was intrigued because he had previously acquired a similar item from the Black Magic Crawler king in the Chaos Cave after he killed it with Big Yellow.

Big Yellow became a Supreme Great Ancestor after it ate the item and took a long nap.

Ou Yangming did not expect the wolf king’s body to contain the item too.

Ni Yinghong noted, “Elder Brother He, you’re very lucky that this half-spirit beast already has an inner core.”

He Liangce grinned. He took out his bottle to wash off the blood on the inner core with water, and he uttered, “Younger sister, this is yours.”

“A n.o.ble person doesn’t steal another person’s treasure. Thank you for the offer, Elder Brother, but I don’t need it,” Ni Yinghong responded right away.

“This item’s tremendously helpful toward one’s cultivation in mental power, and the greatest effect will be unleashed if you use it. It’ll be such a waste if you don’t take it.” He Liangce could not help but laugh.

Ni Yinghong hesitated for a while but was firm on her decision in the end. “Thank you for your kind gesture, but I won’t take a reward if it’s undeserved.”

He Liangce sighed and turned to ask, “Brother Ou, the three of us have entered the dense forest to seek the peculiar bamboo, so we should work as one. Since this item suits Younger sister the most, shouldn’t she accept it?”

Ou Yangming looked deeply at him and said, “Elder Sister Ying, just accept it.” “Lil’ Ming…” Ni Yinghong grumbled. Ou Yangming took a step forward to take the inner core, then he gave it to Ni Yinghong. Subsequently, he turned and pointed out, “I owe you one.”

He would not allow Ni Yinghong to accept He Liangce’s gift for no reason, but it would not matter if he was the one who gave her the gift instead.

As for whether he would be able to return the favor in the future, Ou Yangming was not worried at all.

After all, it would be easy for him to repay the kindness as long as he could use smithing art. He Liangce weighed the hundred explosive wolf fangs in his hands and asked with a smile, “What are these regarded as?”

“These are spoils of war, so they can’t be treated the same.” Ou Yangming left no room for discussion.

“Okay, you owe me one then.” He Liangce spread out his hands helplessly.

Ni Yinghong furrowed her beautiful eyebrows and was about to reject the offer when she noticed the resolute look in Ou Yangming’s eyes. She sighed and kept the inner core.

Since she was Elder Universe’s last disciple, there was no need for anyone to teach her how to use the core. “Brother He, please identify the direction again.” Ou Yangming smiled. “Oh? Brother Ou, did you forget the direction?” He Liangce asked strangely.

“Hehe, when the fight happened, I was only focused on escaping. How could I have had the time to check the direction?” Ou Yangming continued after a short pause, “It’s also because you were beside me, or I would’ve paid more attention to it.”

He Liangce nodded and closed his eyes to use a certain trick.

After a brief moment, he opened his eyes and stated, “Over there.”

Ou Yangming glanced at where he was pointed and nodded before he strode toward that direction.

However, he sighed and thought, ‘This fella definitely has a secret technique to find paths.’

Although Ou Yangming seemed like he escaped in a hurry earlier, he remembered the path well. He only pretended to have forgotten to test He Liangce.

Sure enough, He Liangce did not disappoint him.

The three of them continued with their journey, but it was not as smooth as before.

Due to the wolf blood that was stained on Ou Yangming’s equipment set, there was a rich b.l.o.o.d.y smell even though the blood was already dry. From time to time, some ferocious beasts approached them after picking up the smell of blood. The beasts could not harm them in any way, but it was huge trouble for them.

Fortunately, Ou Yangming and his companions stumbled upon a small river after half an hour. After making sure that it was not poisonous, Ou Yangming cleaned his pieces of equipment to get rid of the bloodstains.

On the other hand, He Liangce hunted two hares. The three of them roasted the animals to fill their stomachs, then they put out the fire and rested for a while before they went back on track again.

As expected, their journey became smooth again once the bloodstains were cleaned.

That said, Ou Yangming stopped advancing again after two days.

In front of him was an exceptionally dense forest where countless little black spots constantly circled above while making “buzz” sounds.
