In Qingliang Mountain, heavy snow filled the air.

A grey rabbit darted across the snow, but in an instant, it was shot down by a birch arrow. The grey rabbit had no power to resist before it was killed.

"The prey in Qingliang Mountain is getting scarcer."

Su Mo walked forward, pulled out the arrow, and took the grey rabbit with him. Hunting in Qingliang Mountain was no longer easy; many wild beasts had gone into hibernation.

The reason he ventured into the mountains again this time was that Uncle Chen Shan had previously told him that a wolf king had appeared in Green Wolf Ridge within Qingliang Mountain. It had already harmed and killed many hunters. It was said to be as strong as a wild boar.

Su Mo was very cautious. He guessed that if he could kill this wolf king, he might be able to obtain its innate characteristics. After all, ordinary green wolves and wild boars were incomparable.

Wild boars completely crushed green wolves.

But this Green Wolf King was evaluated by veteran hunters like Uncle Chen Shan as having strength not inferior to a wild boar. This meant that this Green Wolf King had something unusual about it.

Moreover, although there was still wild boar meat at home, it couldn't withstand his daily consumption. If he took down this Green Wolf King, his family's meat supply would be replenished, uninterrupted, and he could continue to strengthen his physical body.

After becoming a martial artist in the Body Tempering Realm, Su Mo always felt something was missing. He found that the speed of tempering and refining his physical body was very slow. To break through to the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm would take ages.

This made Su Mo doubt himself. Was his innate talent not good enough? Did he have no potential for cultivation at all? Was breaking through to the Body Tempering Realm really just a coincidence? Or a fluke?

Su Mo was somewhat troubled and melancholic.

Therefore, all he could do was eat a lot of meat every day. Only then could he find some comfort.

Another point was that he had been truly terrified of starvation before.

Su Mo's figure moved, and he headed straight for Green Wolf Ridge. For other hunters, Green Wolf Ridge might be a dangerous, deadly place, where entering meant a one-in-nine chance of survival.

But for Su Mo, it was just a place to casually kill wolves and get meat. Who knew if the green wolves in Green Wolf Ridge were numerous? If he ran out of wild boar meat later and had nothing to eat, he would have to eat the green wolf meat from here.

Even though green wolf meat no longer had much effect on him in the Body Tempering Realm, it was still meat, after all.

Qingliang Mountain was home to many wild beasts and fierce beasts, but fierce beasts were hard to find.

He sped along, and Su Mo's figure appeared in Green Wolf Ridge. The moment he arrived, several green wolves that had come out to hunt seemed to sense a formidable enemy and immediately fled into the distance, as if a great terror had arrived.

Su Mo didn't care. He had come to Green Wolf Ridge today to find the wolf king.

"Awooo! Awooo!"

Just as he was searching for the Green Wolf King, he suddenly heard several wolf howls from ahead. It seemed someone was hunting these green wolves.

Su Mo followed the sound and saw a figure in a dense forest ahead, frantically hunting these green wolves. This figure was a young man, dressed in fine clothes, handsome and extraordinary. However, judging by his age, he was much younger than Su Mo.

No older than fifteen.

These green wolves charged at him desperately, but this young man, even younger than Su Mo, unleashed punches and kicks, easily killing the green wolves.

And behind these green wolves was a very special green wolf. This green wolf was far larger and longer than ordinary green wolves, covered in green fur. Some of this green fur had begun to emit a reddish glow, indicating that this green wolf had become a fierce beast surpassing ordinary wild animals, having awakened some special innate ability.

This green wolf was the Green Wolf King that Su Mo had been searching for, the one that had taken the lives of many hunters.

The Green Wolf King's bloodthirsty eyes darted around, fixing on the young man in the field. It let out a wolf howl, and as the howl spread, the surrounding green wolves seemed to rush to their deaths, pouncing on the young man, claws extended, roaring furiously.

But to Su Mo's surprise, the young man didn't linger in the fight. Instead, he flipped his body and instantly charged towards the Green Wolf King hiding behind the pack of wolves.

The Green Wolf King's strength was formidable, at least not inferior to the wild boar Su Mo had killed before. However, to his surprise, after only a few moves, the Green Wolf King began to struggle, letting out pained howls.

Can't find the book title, maybe try searching for the author, perhaps the name has changed!

Clearly, the Green Wolf King was no match for the young man.

But the Green Wolf King's bones seemed to be extremely hard, enduring several of the young man's blows.

As the Green Wolf King howled in pain, the surrounding green wolves, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, began to scatter and flee. Clearly, their king was about to be killed.

In Su Mo's opinion, if this Green Wolf King hadn't awakened some innate characteristic, it would have been killed by the young man long ago. This young man was definitely a martial artist, and a very strong one at that.

The power unleashed between his fists and palms was astonishing.

Su Mo didn't hesitate and turned to leave.

"Hunter, you're acting strange!"

Just as Su Mo was about to turn and leave, the young man's figure, appearing from nowhere, was suddenly behind him, about five meters away. The Green Wolf King, which had been rampaging earlier, was already lying on its side, on the verge of death.

"I'm just a hunter," Su Mo stopped and said softly.

Once he realized the Green Wolf King had been found by this young man, he lost any desire to compete.

If this young man couldn't defeat the Green Wolf King, he would naturally step in to hunt it. But since the young man had the strength to kill the Green Wolf King, his staying there was meaningless.

However, he hadn't expected to be stopped by this young man.

The young man stared at Su Mo with curiosity and said, "I know you're a hunter. I can tell from your attire, but you're acting very strange."

The young man's name was Shi Mingdong. He was a talented cultivator from a prominent family in the prefectural city. He had come to Qingliang Mountain with his family elders to hunt a high-level demon beast to be used as a medicinal ingredient. This type of demon beast could only be found in Qingliang Mountain, which was why Shi Mingdong had come to this area.

In Shi Mingdong's eyes, the areas around Qingliang Mountain were just remote and backward places. While his family elders hunted high-level demon beasts, he used fierce beasts like the Green Wolf King, which weren't even considered demon beasts, to practice. It was a form of tempering.

Normally, he wouldn't bother with the hunters he encountered in Qingliang Mountain. He would even give them the wild beasts and fierce beasts he hunted. He knew that in the harsh winter, these hunters often returned empty-handed from the mountains.

Before, he had casually killed a Plum Deer and let a hunter father and son take it away. The hunter father and son were extremely grateful to him, but he just waved his hand.

Although he looked down on this remote region, Shi Mingdong wouldn't bully people casually.

However, the young hunter before him gave him a very strange and unsettling feeling, a feeling he couldn't quite explain, which made him curious, and thus he forcefully stopped Su Mo.

Su Mo took a careful look at the young man. He had no impression of him; he shouldn't be an acquaintance. "As a Hunter, what's wrong with me going into the mountains to hunt?" he asked.

Shi Mingdong shook his head slightly. "There's nothing wrong with you going into the mountains to hunt. The reason it feels off is that you give me a very strange feeling."

"Alright!" Su Mo replied.

With that, Su Mo turned to leave. The young man stopped him, all this just to say that? It was a waste of his time going hunting in the mountains.

"I told you to stop, can't you hear me?"

Seeing Su Mo turn to leave, completely disregarding him, Shi Mingdong's voice deepened slightly. When other Hunters saw him, weren't they all respectful? Yet this Hunter before him dared to defy his wishes.

"I'm listening to your mother!"

Su Mo nocked an arrow and drew his Beast Hide Great Bow. The birch arrow shot out. Whether he was listening or not, his Beast Hide Great Bow would tell him.

This arrow cut through the sky, shooting forward and stirring the air in front of it. It flew towards Shi Mingdong, an arrow that could split the heavens.

The moment he saw the arrow, Shi Mingdong's expression changed. He moved his body, and the birch arrow grazed his shoulder, flashing past and striking a tree behind him. Instantly, the tree exploded, sending wood chips and dust flying.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
