Chapter 59: Asking For Help

The Blood Fang’s people had again showed up outside the Cold Stream Valley.

Not only Ji Xia, but also Ji Zhuo had burst into anger. He had taken his contracted Fire Crow and searched the surrounding jungle for days, however, he didn’t find even a trace of the Blood Fang; therefore, Ji Zhuo could only proudly tell Ji Hao that the Blood Fang’s people were frightened by his existence, and had already fled.

Ji Hao didn’t think that it was this simple though; but he either could find any evidence revealing the schemes of the Blood Fang, or he could bury all the questions deep down his heart for now.

The next half month had been strangely quiet and peaceful, with nothing abnormal happening.

Ji Hao had started to practice regularly according to a schedule, just like in his old days in the Gold Black Mountain.

At dawn, before sunrise, Ji Hao would already get up, sit on the mountaintop with his legs crossed, and practice by purifying his Yuan Dan, while waiting for the first strands of the purest life force energy, which the forest only released at sunrise.

After finishing his morning practice, he would go hunting with Qing Ying and hundreds of clansmen, to supply food to the entire Cold Stream Valley.

Daily, Ji Hao would eat large amounts of beast’s meat during lunch, and practice his physical strength in the afternoon. Within only half a month, Ji Hao had managed to completely stabilize his bloodline power, which had been fluctuating after he upgraded to the Junior level. Every day, large amounts of Senior Magus’ blood was being transformed by the multicoloured flame and absorbed by Ji Hao’s body. The Gold Fire Bloodline power of Ji Hao had been continuously and steadily improving, as well the power of his three special abilities.

During nighttime, Ji Hao would either learn drug-making skills from Qing Fu or practise fighting skills under Ji Zhuo and Ji Xia’s tutelage.

Both Ji Zhuo and Ji Xia were exemplary great warriors of the Southern Wasteland; they did not have any specific fighting skill; every attack they launched, followed the instincts of their bodies, imitating the wild beasts living in the jungle. What they had been pursuing was to cast the fastest attack through the shortest route, killing their enemies as efficiently as possible.

Under Ji Zhuo and Ji Xia’s strict training, Ji Hao gradually had surpassed the artistic, complicated and ingenious attacking skills inherited from his previous life, and became mature, fearless and decisive.

The fighting skills passed on from his previous life and the instinct of killing and fighting of his current life slowly merged together by the power of his soul, subliming into a special, powerful ‘fighting skill’ of Ji Hao. By practicing intensely during this half month - although Ji Hao’s power level didn’t improve much - his fighting and destructive power had improved by ten times.

At present, at dusk.

Ji Hao stood on the fence wall, provoking a silver double-headed snake with ring-shaped speckles covering its body.

The ten-foot-long poisonous snake moved as fast and light as a gust of wind; its body was wriggling quickly, and it seemed as if it would dart out any moment. However, Ji Hao had his eyes fixed on the snake, while he held an eight-foot long, thumb-thick branch, with which he lightly tapped and whipped on the snake. No matter how quickly the snake moved or how hard it tried to attack Ji Hao, it was madly struggling ten feet away from Ji Hao, but could not even move an inch towards Ji Hao.

A large group of Fire Crow Clan and Qing Yi Clan warriors had surrounded Ji Hao, while praising him loudly.

“Hao is truly worthy to be the son of Brother Ji Xia and Sister Qing Fu, such a young Junior Magus! I doubt even the Bi Fang Clan has any kid as talented as him!”

“Aye, compared to Hao, I’m so ashamed. I’m ten years older than Hao, and still, only a level twelve Novice Magus!”

“Tell me about that! I could chop this ‘double-headed black-ring viper’ to death, but I do not dare; how does he dare to play with such a highly poisonous viper like this?!”
