A swift slash, and a wolf was beheaded by Ye Qiu, collapsing instantly.
This was deep in the boundless mountains; to reach the Southern Wilderness, one must traverse this area.
Information about the Southern Wilderness was scarce amongst the villagers; they only knew that passing through this forest was necessary to reach it, and that the journey was fraught with danger, teeming with fierce beasts, and thus they dared not venture too far when hunting.
Ye Qiu, as a Martial Artist at the Returning Ruins Realm, wasn't concerned much; with his prowess, as long as he didn't encounter a Supreme Saint level of existence, he could ensure his safety.
Having roasted and consumed the wolf, Ye Qiu resumed his journey after a hearty meal.
Trekking through the vast wilderness, Ye Qiu recalled the time in the ancient lands, entering the territories of ancient beasts when he was far weaker.
Ordinary wolves, tigers, and leopards posed no threat to him; Ye Qiu walked with ease.
