43 Blood beads
Walking in the forest, along the river, Wang was sure to arrive where he was going faster this way. But he was also apprehensive, as he had just seen the water flowing in the past like a stream, but this ti he realized this water was heading towards the place had just left, making his guess about the huge lake he had just seen.
When hungry he sat on the edge of the river, without fishing skills. Observing the river water, he had the thought of diving in, after all this place to him should not have much danger for him. After he was incapable of diving into the huge water body that seed to have been frozen, Wang obviously was willing to jump into this river. He had moved in another direction altogether, but the number of resources he had were being consud faster than he could replenish. This however seed in so way less stressful to him as he could see his strength increasing slowly.
In the next days, other than hunting for beast at and practicing he did not do anything else. and his coverage seed to increase, until he reached so kind of waterfall, at this ti he was sure that he was lost. This forest was so huge and even those with higher cultivation than him did not dare enter it casually, for the fear of eting so dangerous beasts in there. In this ti he also did not seem to discover any other creatures near this waterfall, he seed to have ignored a very basic observation as he continued to approach it.
But when he reached the water, he could feel the blood circulation in his body was not as smooth, this ca from so coercion from the waterfall. But since he was here he did not retreat as he thought it was an opportunity. Sitting so distance from the waterfall, he started to adapt to this place and it indeed seed useful and the body was being forced to squeeze out its potential. The speed at which internal energy was being generated was also faster and faster. With this, he could be sure that he might not need long to step into the eighth level of blood forging. With this in mind, he persisted and failed to realize that before he was so towering giant. Taking advantage of this coercion was indeed smart for blood forging.
In one and a half days, he finally moved past the waterfall and managed to see the source of this coercion, a huge monster, that seed to have a wound running eight ters on its body and even then, blood was still flowing. But that was not the most important thing, rather the head that was already lying on the side like a small hill. His eyes narrowed as he saw so people in the distance, one was holding a spear, and the other sword, their auras were chaotic, but that was not what he needed to see to know they were injured seriously.
In fact, his approach did not even make them turn their heads as he was too weak for them to be concerned. The two seed to be fighting for the monster's body but at this ti their fight seed to contain killing intent. And what Wang was seeing was indeed true, as before he even ca here these people were tracking down this monster and when they finally managed to corner it and kill it, greed got in their way and now they no longer have interest in the monster body, they want to kill each other due to the killing intent in each other's eyes.
Letting go of soone with killing intent towards oneself is foolish, and these two seem to have no plans to of doing this due to confidence in their own strength. Wang on the other hand seed to have collapsed and was incapable of moving forward due to the pressure from the monster's body. It is also probably the reason they did not bother to stop him, as with his level of strength, he could hardly affect them considering the pressure from the dead beast was already keeping him in check. But the most important reason was that they wanted to finish things quickly to avoid attracting others here. But Wang who was in the distance failed to realize that this guy had a dark aura around them and this did not seem in line with the way humans practice.
Yes, this was one of those things that Ruruo and the other grandmasters are usually guarding against, and Wang had crossed over to their territory, and this might beco a problem, especially considering that these creatures are combative and difficult to kill. At this mont however he could not be blad after all, the pressure on this side was too strong making it almost impossible for him to clearly see them. But one thing was for sure, he was having ideas about the retreat as even if this was a human, they might not keep him for many reasons.
In the water, surprisingly enough, when the blood of the huge monster dropped it seed to sink which he found very suspicious, as the flow below the waterfall was clear water without blood stains. Under the water though, red crystals were slowly being deposited on the surface of the lake, and the energy contained in it was too much, that the water could not dissolve it.
"It seems that the monster's body is here, but I have no such fate with it."As he tried to move his body, the pressure seed just too intense, and looking in the water, there were so red crystals, which reflected in his eyes. Instead of risking his life with the monster in the distance he could hardly even cut its skin, he descended into the water. The pressure also seed to decrease slightly for every ter he descended. When he reached close to seven ters, he was already on the water bed. Moving across it, he collected a red bead that when it ca in contact with his hand the blood in his body beco excited. He thus kept collecting them and returning to the surface to take a breadth.
"This monster seems very unique, even the blood turned into these crystal beads instead of dissolving in the water, and what is with this attraction of my blood towards these crystals?" As he was searching for crystals on the surface of the lake sothing that almost scared him dead happened. He bumped into so corpse and upon taking a closer look there was black energy looming over it and the speer it was holding in the hand seed more interesting but he could not force the hand holding the spear to let go. In that case, he searched through the corpse and found so things he took with him. For the spear, he cut off that thought at the mont since he had no way of taking it.
He also moved under the water for a while longer than before and when he ca to the surface the huge monster's body and head were gone and did not rush to leave, rather followed the waterfall and located a cave to hide in. The reason for doing so was obviously due to fear of the one that killed that guy with the spear discovering him in the forest as he did not have any idea where he went.
He did not have a perception of the outside world but could at least guess that this situation would result in danger for him regardless of the moves he took and only remaining hidden for the longest ti was more viable as an option. If the situation could be maintained for a while even if the other party had indeed not left and was checking the surroundings for his presence or other people, he could escape it and thus he did not hesitate to make this choice. At the end for him, survival was important, and thus when he found a cave on the edge of the waterfall he jumped in and took his ti to make sure that it was safe before taking so sleep.
With the nurous things he had now, especially those from the spear-holding guy, he put them before him and managed to see the spear manual. He has never been that interested in so weapons but seeing this spear he was sohow interested. It seed more practical, but he did not start studying it yet, rather he was more interested in the blood beads that he had collected under the water. Pulling out one, he found that his blood was actually starting to boil. This yearning for the blood bead was sothing that made him excited too, at least he seed to have gained sothing with so use.
"I have to find so lab rats for these blood beads first before using them. In the anti, it is important to check out all the gains before studying that spear manual." With improvent in strength, he also wanted to specialize in so weapon that could allow for his strength to be multiplied when attacking. But the use of things like swords did not give him that feeling at all, rather it felt incomplete unlike when he saw this spear manual. In that case, he did not mind spending so ti on it, and then he could have so way to leverage his always-increasing strength.
