A figure emerged from the cave entrance, it was Mo Wen, who had just finished gathering herbs. The demon beast inside the cave was far more powerful than he had anticipated, but he successfully lured it away and completed his "herb gathering" in its lair. Adhering to the principle of "sustainable development," he did not strip the land bare; instead, he only took the mature herbs that he did not already have in his collection. He had been engaging in this kind of pillaging of nests quite frequently lately.
Standing atop a tree, he surveyed the scenery. Suddenly, Mo Wen sensed a commotion in the forest. Rather than a fight, it seemed more like a group of people being chased by a demon beast.
"Er Zhuzi, you all retreat first! I'll draw this beast away."
"Er Niu! No, you are the strongest in our village. If something happens to you, what will we do? I’ll distract it; you take the others and get out."
"You know I'm the strongest here. If I can't draw it away, can you? In the end, we all die. Enough talk; I'm the captain here. You all retreat first; I'll handle it." With that, Er Niu pushed aside those around him and charged toward the pursuing demon beast. However, he had no intention of fighting it head-on; he struck at it a couple of times with his weapon before turning to flee. The demon beast seemed enraged by Er Niu's attack and chased after him.
Er Niu led the demon beast straight toward Mo Wen. While Er Niu was only at the Early Stage of Speed Realm, the demon beast behind him had reached the Late Stage of Speed Realm, just one step away from entering Qi Binding Realm. If this continued, there would be only one outcome for Er Niu. Just as he was desperately running ahead, he suddenly stopped. He sensed that the demon beast that had been relentlessly pursuing him had gone silent. When he turned around, he was startled to see that the once-persistent demon beast lay on the ground with a knife embedded in its forehead. At that moment, a young man dressed in gray martial attire walked up to the demon beast and pulled out the knife. Mo Wen had finally made his move; Er Niu was the strongest among this group and posed no threat to him. Most importantly, they did not resemble an adventurous team but rather seemed like villagers. It was touching to see them still trying to draw away the demon beast for their teammates even when they knew it could lead to death—this pure sentiment was why Mo Wen decided to intervene. Additionally, he needed to gather some information about the outside world from these people; neither Old Lu nor Zi Lan had provided very specific details.
"Thank you for saving me, Xiaoxia," Er Niu said as he cupped his hands in gratitude while keeping a vigilant eye on the young man not far away. Although someone had saved him, maintaining caution was still wise.
"There’s no need for such formality, brother," Mo Wen replied with a nod, taking in Er Niu's robust figure. He truly was strong as an ox, dressed simply in gray Bai De clothing and appearing to be in his thirties. However, Mo Wen knew that once a martial artist broke through to Transcendence Stage, their appearance changed very slowly; after breaking through to higher realms, their looks would hardly change at all and might even revert to youthfulness. Thus, judging a cultivator's age by their appearance could lead to significant discrepancies. Meanwhile, Er Niu remained highly alert, seemingly wary of any sudden moves from Mo Wen. Yet in this forest, staying vigilant upon encountering strangers was indeed a prudent choice.
