For over a month, Wu Tian continuously absorbed qi, and when the snow stopped, he went hunting with the Hunting Team.

Even though the snow sealed off the mountain, with the help of the Spirit of Wind, he could still accurately locate prey in the vast mountains.

No one in the village went hungry throughout the entire winter.

The appearance of the Qi Eater talent also made Wu Tian's physique stronger day by day. The tempering and nourishment of heaven and earth's spiritual energy on his body were incomparable to ordinary skills.

This made his movements more agile and his presence more mystical.

As time passed, he could absorb more and more of the heaven and earth's spiritual energy, and for longer periods.

One inhale, one exhale, creation naturally formed, spiritual energy entered the body.

Wu Tian could feel a power gestating within his body. When his physique was fully nourished by the heaven and earth's spiritual energy, and his qi was overflowing, that power would be born.

"If the tempering of my body can continue, I am even confident I can forge a body of steel and iron."

"Unfortunately, I cannot control the heaven and earth's spiritual energy absorbed after eating qi; its nourishment of my physique is entirely natural."

After practicing Qi Eating for this period, he gradually realized that if there were cultivators in this world, they would surely be able to inhale and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and use it to temper their bodies and nourish their souls.

"Using the essence of heaven and earth to nourish qi, spirit, and body, thereby transcending the mortal and reaching the divine!"

Wu Tian was not an ignorant monster. He had experienced the information explosion era of his past life and had read Lao Zhuang. Through the Qi Eater talent, he vaguely grasped the path of future cultivation.

"The envoy from Skull Mountain should be arriving soon. I just don't know if Skull Mountain is home to immortals or demons?"

Wu Tian had also observed the gloomy winds at night during this period. He noticed that whenever the bright moon hung high, countless souls of ferocious birds and beasts would ride the gloomy winds, roaming between heaven and earth.

The gloomy wind blew, beasts roared, and ghosts ran rampant; the scene was incredibly terrifying.

Even demonic beasts encountering such a scene would likely be devoured by the souls of the beasts.

Wu Tian had always wondered, if the Amulets of Warding posted in the village and the Bronze Ancient Cauldron in the center of the village possessed mysterious warding powers that kept the beast souls away at night, Then how did the Demons and Monsters in the mountains survive?

It was likely that the beast souls, upon passing through, could devour those monsters completely...

But in reality, those monsters were all alive and well.

After observing for a long time, Wu Tian gradually reached a conclusion.

"Those beast souls must have a master. In fact, even the Demons and Monsters in the mountains are likely being raised by someone!"

Such a conclusion sent a chill down his spine. Herding beast souls and raising mountain monsters were terrifying abilities.

"If all of this was done by Skull Mountain, then the people of Skull Mountain are truly extremely formidable."

"I wonder what kind of changes the envoy from Skull Mountain will bring to the village this time?!"

Wu Tian felt a sense of anticipation. He hoped to accelerate his own growth and transformation through Skull Mountain, yet he also felt an indescribable fear.

The power of Skull Mountain was too immense. Those beast souls and mountain monsters were forces he could not contend with, let alone Skull Mountain itself, which was responsible for it all.

Wu Tian held a reverence for power in his heart!

As days passed, Wu Tian's first talent, by continuously devouring poisonous insects, snakes, and ants, and even utilizing the poisonous mist left behind by the Jade Centipede after killing living beings, finally reached completion.

Ding, System Notification: Your talent Poison Devour has been upgraded to completion.

Ding, System Notification: Your talent Poison Devour has advanced, currently Intermediate Talent Immunity to All Poisons.

Immunity to All Poisons: Intermediate Talent. You can ignore most ordinary poisons. Even the potent poisons of mortals cannot harm you. You possess a weak resistance to poison miasma and malevolent qi nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"It seems that at the Intermediate Talent level, I can already be immune to ordinary poisons. Only those poison miasmas and malevolent qi involving extraordinary powers can harm me."

"However, the Immunity to All Poisons talent also provides resistance to those poison miasmas and malevolent qi, although this resistance is still weak. If it continues to upgrade, it will become a terrifying talent."

"The terrifying poison of the Jade Centipede should involve extraordinary powers, not ordinary poison."

Wu Tian looked at his Immunity to All Poisons talent, feeling both joy and a hint of melancholy. After carefully sensing the panel, he discovered that the difficulty of upgrading Intermediate Talents far surpassed that of Beginner Talents.

"To upgrade an Intermediate Talent, it likely requires continuous tempering with poisons like that of the Jade Centipede, along with a long period to develop resistance. This is not something that can be achieved overnight."

"This means that improving Intermediate Talents requires more time and more precious resources."

He realized that if he stayed in the village forever, his room for improvement would shrink more and more.

"It's just the Immunity to All Poisons talent, perhaps, as there's the Jade Centipede. But for Agility, Spirit of Wind, and Qi Eater, the resources required after their promotion will only increase, and they are not something the village can provide..."

Wu Tian began to look forward to the arrival of the envoy from Skull Mountain even more.

Days passed, the ice melted, the snow thawed, and the earth rejuvenated.

The Hunting Team resumed their usual activities, going out hunting almost every day. The spring jungle, with all things reviving, allowed them to obtain sufficient food.

And Wu Tian, during these hunts in the wild jungle, gradually elevated his second talent, Agility, to completion.

Ding, System Notification: Your talent Agility has been upgraded to completion.

Ding, System Notification: Your talent Agility has advanced, currently Intermediate Talent Thousand Mile Divine Speed.

With the advancement of his talent, Wu Tian could feel his already swift speed surge again. As he ran through the jungle, his body was like a white lightning bolt.

"With such terrifying speed, any ferocious birds and beasts that haven't become spirits are no match for me."

Wu Tian ran madly through the jungle, feeling the strong wind whip through his fur, experiencing a sense of exhilaration and freedom from the depths of his being.

"Immunity to all poisons, thousand mile divine speed. These two great talents are enough to make me the top predator in the jungle. I can even avoid those monsters."

He ran through the jungle, heading straight for a python that was about to become a monster. In the past, he would have been wary of such a creature on the verge of sentience.

But now, with extreme speed, his body flickered. Before the python could react, it was torn at its vital spot by sharp claws.

Wu Tian darted around the giant python's body, attacking it. The python thrashed and hissed, but couldn't even touch a single hair on him.

In just a quarter of an hour, this giant python, on the verge of becoming a monster, was killed by him in the jungle, relying on his extreme speed.

"Woof woof woof!"

Wu Tian roared at the sky. His strength grew stronger and stronger; he was no longer that skinny puppy.

Soon, Silver Frost arrived with the Hunting Team. When the Hunting Team saw the giant python Wu Tian had killed, their faces showed shock.

"White Dragon is getting more and more powerful!"

"This python was almost a monster, wasn't it?"

"Even the legendary White Dog isn't as powerful as White Dragon, right?"

"Even Silver Frost is no match for White Dragon now!"

"This is a good omen for our White Dog Stockade!"

The Hunting Team was incredibly excited, especially Guxiong Mu. He had once had the chance to eat such a creature on the verge of sentience; its flesh and blood were a great tonic for humans.

This giant python was several yards long, enough for the people in the village to eat for a long time.

"Let's work together and bring this python's corpse back!"

"Hahaha, good, this is a huge harvest."

"The children in the village will probably cry when they see such a giant python?"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone excitedly got to work. Wu Tian watched from the side, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to restore his stamina.

"After a while longer, when the Spirit of Wind and the Qi Eater advance, I should be able to become a true monster."

"By then, I'll be able to hunt the monsters in the mountains and forests!"

The existence of the system panel allowed his growth rate to far surpass that of other creatures of his kind.

When they returned to the village, the giant python indeed caused a sensation. Almost everyone came to see it.

Even Chili Mu excitedly ran out.

"White Dragon, I've never seen such a big python before."

"They all say you hunted it, is that true?"

"White Dragon, you're not allowed to take risks anymore. Aren't you afraid of being swallowed whole by such a big python?"

The little girl scolded him while looking at the python, feeling both scared and excited, wanting to step forward and touch it.

In the evening, the Chieftain and the tribesmen dismembered the giant python together. Then, they threw all the bones and flesh into the Bronze Ancient Cauldron and lit a fire beneath it.

"It's been a long time since the village cooked a prey like this, on the verge of becoming a monster. Back then, this cauldron even cooked a monster, a wild boar that had become a spirit."

The Chieftain, surrounded by the crowd, began to recount the past glory of the village.

Amidst this lively atmosphere, a black wind suddenly swept across the horizon and descended directly towards the center of the village.

Seeing this, the Chieftain and Guxiong Mu's expressions instantly turned serious. They quickly stood up and said loudly, "All tribesmen, welcome the envoy with me."
