Blood Flow

"Brother Little White, are you really not coming with me?"

Little One climbed onto the back of a tall Unicorn and asked Bai Yixin, who was standing to the side, fully prepared for his own departure.

"No, you take Furry Ball with you! I'd rather wander around on my own. I hope that when we meet again, you can give me a little surprise. That way, I'll give you one in return." Bai Yixin smiled and said.

"Mm! Brother Little White, I look forward to your surprise!" Little One nodded, his expression full of confidence.

"Then you'll have to put in some extra effort." Bai Yixin chuckled.

"Children, don't push yourselves too hard. If it seems dangerous, make sure to retreat in time!"

"Little White, Little One, be careful on the road. Don't try to be a hero, and make sure to protect yourselves!"

Because both Bai Yixin and Little One were setting out on long journeys, everyone in Stone Village came out to see them off. They gave endless instructions and were all reluctant to part; they treated Bai Yixin and the others just like members of their own family.

Little One sat on the Unicorn and charged into the distance, his figure gradually fading away along with the golden Furry Ball.

Bai Yixin also waved his hand and, without looking back, headed in a different direction.

Roar, I wonder which ancient kingdom I'll reach if I keep heading in this direction. It doesn't really matter, though; they're all the same. This trip is just for training and, incidentally, to see the other geniuses of this world.

Bai Yixin looked at the morning glow in the distance, his face filled with anticipation.

He couldn't imagine how exciting—or how dangerous—this journey would be. It was bound to be a very long road, crossing countless mountain ranges and encountering endless perils.

Yet, he could easily imagine the massive figures soaring through the towering mountains, and the endless variety of unknown, terrifying fierce birds.

You could never imagine when a fierce bird might suddenly dive from a mountain range to hunt down the creatures passing below.

Or when a fierce beast might pounce from an undetectable corner of the jungle, tearing a migrating herd to shreds.

Fortunately, the first month after he transmigrated had taught Bai Yixin a harsh lesson. It taught him how to survive longer as the weak, how to better hide himself, and how to prey on those even weaker to survive in these dangerous mountains.

But things were different now. While Bai Yixin couldn't exactly say he could dominate the Great Wilderness, he was confident that no matter what accidents he encountered, he could retreat unscathed.

This was the confidence brought to him by money. With money, Bai Yixin could buy suitable life-saving items from the shop, such as teleportation talismans, Substitute Puppets, and the like.

To prevent any accidents, Bai Yixin had bought three items specifically for survival: first, the "Famous Blade" (auto-trigger) to lock his health; second, a Substitute Puppet (auto-trigger) to block a fatal blow; and finally, an Omnidirectional Ultra-Long Distance Teleportation Talisman that ignored all seals. With this combination, he generally wouldn't die. As for the "not general" cases...

Of course, he wouldn't use them unless absolutely necessary; they were just his insurance policy.

Though spending twenty million (500w+500w+1000w) made Bai Yixin's heart ache, it was all worth it. Money could be earned again, but if his life was gone, everything was gone.

Fortunately, aside from these major expenses, his daily spending wasn't high. He still had over 48 million left, enough to last him for a while.

With these safeguards in place, and bolstered by his growing strength, Bai Yixin felt a bit cocky. He charged forward, following the policy of "fight if I can, run if I can't," and lived quite a colorful life along the way.

"Colorful" mostly referred to the mountain delicacies and wild game; he ate whatever he found, leaving nothing behind. There was truly nothing he dared not eat—only things he couldn't finish.

In just a few days, Bai Yixin had traveled tens of thousands of miles. With the wings formed by the Luan Bird Method, combined with his innate ability to fly using qi, traveling through the sky was truly fast.

Along the way, he crossed mountains and ridges, avoiding many flightless fierce beasts. Unless he saw something that piqued his interest or was blocked by birds of prey, Bai Yixin usually practiced the Luan Bird Method while traveling. He used his aerial advantage to search the mountain ranges for hidden precious herbs and fierce beasts worth fighting.

Within a few days, his clothes were tattered, stained with blood and torn to shreds. Unless his modesty was compromised, he wouldn't buy new clothes from the shop; he would wait until he left the Great Wilderness and reached an ancient kingdom.

"Damn it! I was spotted!"

Suddenly, a bird's cry rang out. The sky seemed to darken as if a massive black cloud had fallen; a giant bird with a wingspan of over 300 meters dove from above the clouds.

Bai Yixin cursed angrily. This guy had been chasing him for two or three days—was it sick or something?!

Bai Yixin dove rapidly, preparing to hide in the mountain forest.

At that very moment, the sky-covering beast opened its beak and unleashed a beam of light like a falling galaxy. Rocks shattered, and a patch of mountainside was leveled.

Fortunately, the wings from the Luan Bird Method gave him incredible speed. Trailing clear blue light, he plunged into the forest and vanished without a trace in an instant.

"Phew—finally gone. It was just one egg, for heaven's sake! It's been days, and it's still chasing me!"

Bai Yixin shook his blood-stained palms and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Beneath him lay a pile of flesh and blood that had been blasted into a pulp.

Just a moment ago, in the blink of an eye, Bai Yixin had "occupied the magpie's nest," diving into a hidden underground cave, killing the owner, and using it to evade the giant bird's pursuit once again.

This was the Great Wilderness—danger was everywhere. It was kill or be killed. Even if you stayed safely at home, you might become a wandering soul in the next moment.

The days of flying peacefully in the sky were very short. Along the way, Bai Yixin fought countless bloody battles, his body covered in the blood of fierce birds and beasts. There was no ease or comfort; he had to keep his spirits high and stay on guard at all times, not wasting a single moment of rest.

This wasn't home; he couldn't sleep soundly. Even a light nap had to be taken with extreme caution and constant vigilance.

One night, Bai Yixin was almost poisoned to death by a venomous python that had snuck up on him. His powerful physical body was easily pierced by those fangs, and a highly potent venom was injected. Sigh, the secret of the runes was revealed, and he was nearly killed instantly, forcing him to trigger his protective trump cards.

In the end, Bai Yixin used his runes and spiritual power to forcibly suppress the toxicity. With one hand, he channeled sword intent to pierce the python's skull.

As the python writhed in agony, Bai Yixin broke free from its jaws and slashed out with his sword, severing its body at the seven-inch mark along with its gallbladder, completing a counter-kill.

He found an antidote in the shop, neutralized the poison, and consumed several precious herbs before he began to recover. It took him a few days of rest to return to his original state.
