12 Titanic figure. (1/2)
Li Yang did not leave immediately after Liang Zhou and Liang Xinyi left. He climbed up one of the trees, making sure that he was hidden from view. He covered himself in Demon Concealing Vines and found a branch where he could sit comfortably.
After making sure that he would be sitting steadily, even if he were to fall asleep, he closed his eyes and calmed his breathing, slowly absorbing the surrounding Qi. Before he ventured towards where he had seen that soaring figure, he first wanted to make sure that he was in peak condition.
He sat hidden inside that tree for two days, constantly adjusting his condition. When he got hungry, he would eat some of the dried meat he had brought. When he got thirsty, he would drink a little bit of the lake water that he had prepared.
Some Demonic beasts would occasionally wander beneath the tree he was sitting in, or climb in some of the surrounding trees. But thanks to the Demon Concealing Vine and staying perfectly still, none of them managed to discover him.
After two days, his body was in peak condition. The crack in his dantian had grown slightly and stabilized, pushing him slightly closer to opening it. The wound on his head had completely closed, resulting in three long scars going from his forehead, over his right eye, and down to his cheek, giving him a ferocious look.
After making sure that he was in peak condition, Li Yang undressed. He took off his robes, leaving him in his underwear. After taking off his clothing, he threw it over to a tree that was not too far away from him. His clothing was covered in dried blood, so if he kept on wearing it, there was a chance that the smell of blood would attract Demonic beasts.
After throwing away his clothing, Li Yang swiftly made his way down the tree. After reaching the ground, he turned towards the opposite direction of the Demon Plains, heading towards the same direction as that soaring figure.
He didn't know what that soaring figure was, but he could feel that his body craved for it. He had seen it twice, and both times he had been the only person who had seen it. Coupled with the feeling it gave him, he knew that he had to find that soaring figure.
Li Yang did not go far away from the Demon Plains, instead choosing to carefully move around inside the forest, climbing up some trees and hiding whenever he felt uneasy. He continued doing this for an entire day until he was lucky enough to spot a normal wolf that was the right size.
He even managed to savagely beat the Vine Wolf, so a normal wolf posed absolutely no threat. He quickly killed the wolf, breaking its neck after a short battle. After killing the wolf in a bloodless way, he grabbed onto its legs and moved away from the Demon Plains, for good this time.
He continued dragging the body of the wolf until he managed to reach the lake where they had rested at earlier, the lake with the Reed Vine. Because he had been dragging the body of the wolf, it had taken him an extra day to reach the lake, resulting in it almost being evening when he arrived.
After reaching the lake, he pulled out a small knife and moved towards the wolf. He started by disemboweling it and removing it's organs, storing them away at the side. He then skinned the wolf, putting the intact skin to his side. After the wolf was skinned, he sliced off a few chunks of meat that he would keep for himself.
