7 Entering the Cloud Wilderness. (1/2)
Two days after choosing his weapon, Li Yang stopped his cultivation early in the morning. Today was the day he was going to head into the Cloud Wilderness to try and tame a Demonic beast. Besides the sword hanging at his waist, he had only packed a bit of dried meat that he could eat if he failed to find any food.
”Brother Yang. Big Brother Zhou said that we should meet him on the other side of the village.”
Right after Li Yang stopped cultivating, Liang Xinyi ran up to him, her face slightly red as she spoke. She had been standing not far away, but she had been too shy to walk up and stop Li Yang's cultivation.
”I see. Thank you for telling me this, Sister Xinyi. Shall we head over there together?”
Li Yang had a faint smile on his face as he spoke. He stepped forward, standing next to Liang Xinyi as he indicated towards the other side of the village. Li Yang had, of course, noticed that she had been standing not far away, but since she had not disturbed him, he had not bothered stopping his cultivation.
”Yes!”
Liang Xinyi hastily responded, her eyes roaming over Li Yang's body as they started walking towards the spot where Liang Zhou had told her to meet him. She was not scared of Li Yang, she felt more curiosity and admiration towards him.
She was curious about why he was always able to stay so calm and inscrutable, and she admired him for the exact same reasons. Despite his parents dying while he was young, he managed to survive on his own. And he was also a very kind person, polite and courteous, always a faint smile on his lips. Such a person was easily admired.
After walking for a little while, the two of them reached the other side of the village. Liang Zhou was currently standing at the exit of the village that led deeper into the Cloud Wilderness, he was carrying a large hammer made out of Demonic beast bones on his back.
Next to Liang Zhou was his tamed Demonic beast, a Stone Crocodile. The Stone Crocodile looked like a normal crocodile and was a little over one meter long, it's entire body covered with thick gray scales. Its jaws held enough power to crush stones. Once it became as strong as a person with one rune, it would gain the ability to control the surrounding stones, leading to it being called a Stone Crocodile.
”There you are. Are you ready to enter the wilderness and tame a Demonic beast?”
Seeing the two of them walk over, Liang Zhou's face cracked into a smile. Whenever a child was to enter the Cloud Wilderness for the first time, someone from the tribe would join and assist them. Liang Zhu had nominated Liang Zhou, something he wholeheartedly agreed to.
”Yup, I can leave at any time. It seems that you are the one who will be following us?”
Li Yang gave a polite greeting before nodding his head. He had only packed some dried meat, as he planned on hunting the rest of the food he needed after entering the Cloud Wilderness.
”Excellent, then we can leave immediately. Xiao Wei, you guard the back.”
