The moment Xiao long saw the bull he already decided to roast it . Dragging it into a nearby clearing and became a butcher,since he didn't have a knife he skinned it with bare hands ,he then lit up a fire and roasted it .After eating he regained his energy and Xiao long began his hunt targeting the weaker beasts .The first three levels of beast cultivation are ( Demonic realm,Earth realm,and spirit realm) .
Following the trail of the escaped beasts he managed to hunt down two boars,and a Giant rat.
He skinned one boar for dinner the used the remaining meat as bait that night was eventful as he killed Four grey wolf before being surrounded by a pack of wild dogs .
Counting then he discovered they were more than he could handle he was planning his escape when he heard a person cursing " come back here little wolf mama is going to take good care of you" .A big white wolf passed him as it dissapeared into the the dark .A little girl carrying a big club made of bone walked into the clearing looking up she saw Xiao long in a standoff with the dogs.Looking at them all she saw was merit points ." Old long it seems your luck is as bad as always" she commented.
Xiao long didn't know how to feel when he saw Xiao Li the little girl dared to chase a beast while shouting at it in the middle of night in the forest ,he didn't know if it bravery or stupidity." Little li come help me deal with this dogs,we shall divide the merit points by the number of kills " he proposed.
" No need for that, be agood boy and make sure they don't escape when this young lady begins her festivities " mocked him as she swung her club maiming a nearby Wild dog that was checking her out.
She the charged at the others crippling them with each swing .The wild dogs instead of running charged at her ready to tear this little beast it shredds. Xiao long was about to help her when he saw some he will never forget , Xiao li opened her little mouth a bit one wild dogs throat tearing it apart. The other Wild dogs paused then tucked their tails as the retreated fasted than their charging speed.
Xiao long saw an opportunity and began killing them .Xiao long infront and Xiao Li at the back they were cornered.The most crazy thing is that none of the Wild dogs dared to escape in Xiao Li's direction.All of them charged at Xiao long who began a killing spree,bashing skulls in , tearing the tail with spine intact,it was a gruesome sight .The wild dogs didn't know how the situation developed to this ,if not for that brutish lady they would have had their meal by now and they would have been celebrating while enjoying Xiao long tender flesh.' why did she have to appear at this moment' they cursed their luck.
The brutal massacre happened that night ,none of the Wild dogs escaped.A heavy scent of blood and death filled that area of the forest .That night no beast growled fearing they might be discover by the Duo.
" How many merit points do you have ? " Xiao long asked Xiao Li .
Looking at her token " 740" she answered as she tore a chunk of boar steak Xiao long roasted for her.She wanted to roast it herself but Xiao long offered to help as he knew the tales of her legendary cooking exploits .
" What about you " she asked .
" Just over 400" he answered .They slaughtered over 60 wild dog, and a few curious beasts.
" I guess you heard about the golden pool" he inquired.
" Yeap ,those old geezers dares to eye on my merit points" she answered you could tell she didn't care about the pool what she cared about is the scam their fathers were trying to pull.
" Have you met Old Wei " Xiao long asked .
"Nope but considering his luck he may find the pool without even the clues" she answered,of the trio Xiao long has the shittiest luck , Xiao Wei is the luckiest while her luck always fluctuates sometimes she is lucky other times unlucky .
Xiao long nodded, he had already reached the conclusion that he spent all his luck in his past life.
They spent the night talking about their adventures of the past few days.
Xiao long didn't forget to warn Xiao Li about that damned monkey ,he didn't know instead of heeding his warning the poor girl decided to look for it.
Early the next morning the duo began hunting down beasts ,they tried hunting devil cultivators but the first one the hunted nearly sent them to the afterlife.
Having learnt their lesson they began hunting beast only but again they met a Giant crocodile that hunted them for a few days before giving up .
" Damn that lizard " Xiao Li cursed she was the one who attacked the crocodile driven by greed to use its skin to make armour.
Xiao long wished he could skin her alive the little brat was the one who attacked first even after he suggested the armour made from its skin will be ugly, and when things didn't go their way the little brat accused him by using the excuse of his bad luck .
And this was not the first time she used his luck against him ,the other day they almost lost their life's to the devil cultivator she used him as the excuse for their rotten luck she also added that since she met him things haven't been going her way ,it seems since she began cultivating her venomous mouth gained an upgrade.
The following days they hunted ,they were also hunted a few times . This went on until both acquired 2000 merit points each .They each wanted two pools each if possible.
Although the elders said it was a clue it was definitely map .
Crushing their tokens they returned to the Battle tower exchange hall.
They exchanged all their points and were given the maps .
Finishing their exchange they were teleported back to their respective teleportation arrays.
