Under the leadership of Fourth Elder Liu Baichuan, the Liu Household cultivators cautiously approached the herd.
Only when Liu Changxu and the others came within five li of the Golden-Eyed Unicorn Bulls did the Liu Household cultivators discover that, although the herd numbered only five, every bull was upper-grade first-tier, and each bore wounds. The bull leading them was even a demonic beast at the peak of the first tier.
The Golden-Eyed Unicorn Bulls also noticed the Liu Household cultivators. Clearly, these demonic bulls were beyond what the handful of cultivators could handle.
Seeing this, Fourth Elder Liu Baichuan signaled for everyone to stop. After a moment's thought, he led the cultivators back.
The demonic bulls paid the Liu Household cultivators no heed!
Fourth Elder Liu Baichuan transmitted his voice to everyone. "These demonic bulls probably fled here after being hunted by some powerful Demon Hunting Team. To avoid unnecessary trouble, we need to stay well away from these Golden-Eyed Unicorn Bulls, lest we offend some powerful force."
Sure enough, once Liu Changxu and the other Liu Household cultivators had retreated more than ten li from the Golden-Eyed Unicorn Bulls, they spotted a blue flying boat speeding toward the herd.
Six cultivators stood aboard the blue flying boat. Their leader was a beautiful woman in white who radiated immense pressure. Judging by her aura, she was clearly a powerful Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
The beautiful female cultivator formed hand seals, and five ice spikes immediately appeared in the air. Although Liu Changxu and the others were far from the herd, they still felt a chill. Then five streaks of cold light flashed, and all five Golden-Eyed Unicorn Bulls fell dead.
Witnessing this, Liu Changxu was immediately shaken by the formidable strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator! His desire to grow stronger burned even more fiercely!
The other Liu Household cultivators were also astonished, though a touch of dejection followed!
None of them had expected to travel so far from the market town yet reap so little!
Seeing this, Fourth Elder Liu Baichuan adjusted their route. Rather than following the main road, he led them north along secluded trails.
The Liu Household cultivators began encountering more demonic beasts!
In just one afternoon, the Liu Household cultivators killed two lower-grade first-tier Golden-Horned Deer, one lower-grade first-tier Golden-Plate Sheep, three lower-grade first-tier Pine Mountain Chickens, and one middle-grade first-tier Black Mountain Bear.
Liu Changxu's two spirit beasts, Xiao Qing and Xiao Jin, played a major role in this. With the help of their keen noses, the Liu Household cultivators were able to find demonic beasts hiding in mountain caves.
The Liu Household cultivators' faces glowed with the joy of their harvest!
That evening, when they made camp, Liu Changxu once again put his meat-roasting skills to use, taking out the meat of one Golden-Horned Deer to roast!
The two little fellows, Xiao Jin and Xiao Qing, each ate a portion of roasted meat larger than their own bodies. Who knew where all that meat went!
Xiao Qing, in particular, saw everyone drinking spirit wine and asked his master, Liu Changxu, for some too!
After receiving spirit wine from Liu Changxu, the two little fellows gulped it down until, unable to hold their liquor, they finally became drunk!
When everyone saw the two little fellows wobbling about so adorably after getting drunk, they could no longer contain themselves and roared with laughter!
Liu Changxu was also amused by the two little fellows' endearing antics!
The night passed uneventfully!
Even when everyone woke the next morning, the two little fellows were still asleep! Liu Changxu placed them in his Spirit Beast Bag!
