Wang Mu left decisively.
His intuition told him there was something wrong with this incident.
If it were a Travel event obtained with Action Points, let alone a nation-toppling beauty, even if it were an ugly anomaly, Wang Mu would not hesitate to act. After all, that meant that no matter what he chose, there would be benefits.
This one... maybe not; it felt very subtle.
"Well, it's not that I refuse to act, but she told me to leave." Wang Mu nodded, affirming his decision.
Reaching the spot where the Tiger King was bound, he picked it up and dragged it out of the Divine Wood Forest.
Today, he returned from hunting the tiger, perfectly ending his months-long hunting career!
After Wang Mu left, the expression on the face of the woman surrounded by Fierce Beasts began to change gradually. The panic, upon Wang Mu's disappearance, immediately turned into calmness. The disorder in her eyes also turned into contemplation.
Indeed, the information that little girl gave was unreliable! According to her, a villager of Anle Village, in that situation, resolutely launched an arrow at her Xuan Gu to rescue a Spirit Beast and an Immortal Sect disciple, risking his ordinary human body.
The woman muttered to herself, "This just shows that Wang Mu is a warm-hearted and chivalrous man... But, isn't this difference too big? A critically injured Fairy, attacked by Fierce Beasts—something easy for him with his hunting skills, just shooting two arrows could have saved her—yet he just turned around and left?"
At this point, the woman suddenly looked at herself, her brows slightly furrowed.
Could it be I revealed some flaws?
Impossible!
The woman immediately examined herself. Hmm, the clothes are Canglang Dao Sect disciple robes. This small Sect has just been annihilated recently with countless disciples scattered throughout Huangtian Continent, so the identity is not wrong.
Makeup is also fine, clothes tattered just right, and even the disciples of Gu Yun Mountain's Sword Sect can recognize that it's after a Magic attack... After all, I personally stripped these clothes from those disciples...
The exposed skin, like a bud ready to bloom... yet not overtly seductive...
The scars on my body, my hair... how pure and pitiable does this Fairy look?
And my expressions just a while ago, I practiced several times before departure. Those girls in the Sect were all dizzy with infatuation, wishing they could die to save me.
The woman pondered deeply. Even my expression just then, and every sentence I uttered, was high in emotive appeal. In such peril, I was still considerate of him... This should be very effective on those chivalrous individuals from the Righteous Sects.
Strange...
The woman thought hard but couldn't figure out if there was anything wrong with her. I didn't even use any Charming Techniques... To use the words of the Venerable Lord, this is my pure, natural Charming Technique, something that simply cannot be distinguished...
It was frustrating.
At that moment, a few Fierce Beasts started howling nearby, only a couple of steps away from her.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, the woman's eyes suddenly flashed with a faint purple brilliance. The light burst forth like arrows, and in an instant, several wolves covered in sharp fur were immobilized, as if struck by an Immobilization Spell.
Just as the woman was about to deal with these Fierce Beasts, she seemed to sense something. Her gaze and expression changed in an instant as she called out again, "Save me~"
In mid-air, a sword light was about to fly past, seemingly having heard something.
The woman, seeing the newcomer, had a thought: It seems to be a disciple from Gu Yun Mountain's Sword Sect.
She parted her jade lips gently, repeating what she had said before, "You should leave quickly, these Fierce Beasts are not something you can handle... It's my fate to perish here..."
As soon as she finished, the other's face flushed red as he spoke righteously, "From your looks, you must be a recently troubled disciple from the Canglang Dao Sect, right? Our Righteous Sects stand together; how can I abandon you to die now that you are in such peril?"
"Don't worry, I am a disciple of the Shangxiao Sword Sect. Just a few Fierce Beasts, I should be able to handle them..."
Having said that, he formed a sword technique with his hands and immediately started walking towards the lady.
Seeing this, the lady breathed a sigh of relief.
No problem!
Indeed, it wasn't my fault!
This is how a chivalrous person should act!
Since it's not my problem...
Then it must be this Wang Mu's problem... No wonder the Venerable Lord personally asked me to test him, and yet he's just a mortal...
He really is suspicious.
The lady pondered to herself. Wait, he saved a Spirit Beast, not to mention, that Immortal Sect disciple was male. Could it be this person has a preference for... Next time, I should test him disguised as a man.
Wang Mu returned to the village.
The villagers all came out, their faces filled with surprise as they looked at the White Crystal Tiger King he was dragging behind him.
As the famed Fierce Beast of Anle Village and its surrounding areas, this creature had taken up residence in the Divine Wood Forest. It had also attacked the village several times before. However, due to its formidable strength and the difficulty in tackling it within the Divine Wood Forest, it had never been dealt with. Even Hunters as strong as the Village Chief, once they reached a certain age, no longer had the ambition to hunt these Fierce Beasts, so the issue was left unresolved. Though in recent years, the Fierce Beasts of the Divine Wood Forest had become much tamer, many people still remembered them.
"Mu Guy hasn't been gone long!" Aunt Hong was grinning from ear to ear. "That old man, the Village Chief, hasn't been able to deal with this beast for several years, and I never thought you'd be the one to hunt it down!"
"All in all, Mu Guy, you've been learning hunting from the Village Chief for only a few months, right?" the Tie Hu tree from the Blacksmith Shop walked out shirtless, his face filled with wonder. "I didn't expect you to already have this kind of strength."
"Is this what they call exceptional talent?"
What did a few months mean? It was merely the time it took for him to forge a few weapons. Forget about becoming proficient; ordinary people would find it difficult even to get started.
"When this youngster started cutting trees with me, I knew he was out of the ordinary." Uncle Tie Niu laughed heartily, and as he looked at the White Crystal Tiger King, he actually began drooling a little.
Every part of the White Crystal Tiger King is a nourishing delicacy.
Grandpa Yu came back, holding his fish basket from outside the village. He glanced at the few Low-grade fish species in his basket, then looked at the White Crystal Tiger King behind Wang Mu, and nonchalantly placed the fish basket behind him.
"Little monster..."
The Village Chief also came out. He stretched, then looked at the White Crystal Tiger King behind Wang Mu. Turning around, he entered his house and took out the Mountain-shattering Bow. He then passed it to Wang Mu with a satisfied look on his face, saying, "Child, with your strength to successfully hunt such a Fierce Beast, it is time to hand this over to you! Take good care of it! This is one of the few treasures our Anle Village has left!"
Ah-ha! It seems I've achieved a feat and received the Newbie Village's Divine Artifact!
"Thank you, Village Chief!" Wang Mu caressed the Beng San Bow.
If my strength increased a little more and I used this bow, should I encounter that Xuan Gu again, I would likely be able to inflict massive damage with a single arrow.
"Speaking of which, how shall we eat this White Crystal Tiger King, stewed or steamed?" Wang Mu asked.
"..." the White Crystal Tiger King.
The Tiger King let out a roar full of anger mixed with timidness. ROAR!
The Village Chief stroked his chin. "This Fierce Beast is close to cultivating into a Demon. In past years, it often attacked the village, stealing food from our reserves, but it has never harmed anyone. To simply slaughter and eat it seems a bit wasteful."
Upon hearing this, the White Crystal Tiger King immediately let out a couple of soft whimpers. It bobbed its head repeatedly, as if saying, "Don't eat, don't eat!"
