Chapter 5
Crazy Ideas
"There's enough meat for us to eat for a long time."
Shen Yuan's eyes were filled with surprise.
With this meat, they could live in peace for a while without having to risk going out to hunt.
Shen Yuan ran out quickly, took the rabbit from Shen Kun's hands, and said impatiently:
"I'll go bake them right now!"
Having gone without food for two or three days, she was starving, and her eyes gleamed with a green light as she looked at the wild rabbit.
As dusk approached.
The three siblings sat around in the room, with two bowls of oily venison and rabbit meat on the table, the rich aroma of roasted meat filling the entire room.
As Shen Kun stuffed meat into his mouth, he recounted the day's hunt.
"Big brother, little sister, you wouldn't believe it, but today, as soon as any prey came into my sight, I raised my hand, drew my bow, and 'whoosh!' I shot it down in a flash."
"There has never been a single mistake!"
"That bow my older brother gave me is amazing!"
As Shen Yuan listened to her second brother's endless boasting about the wonders of the Yin Wood Longbow, her eyes sparkled with excitement.
There is plenty of prey in the Black Mountain Range, so as long as you have good archery skills, you won't have to worry about not having meat to eat.
However, if there are no cultivators in the family, they may be helpless when faced with certain special situations.
Shen Yi was filled with many thoughts. After eating a large piece of venison and two wild rabbits, he felt full and his body had finally regained some strength.
He looked at Shen Kun and asked, "Kun, how far have you progressed in your mastery of the 'Savage Bull Technique'?"
The Wild Bull Technique is a cultivation method that everyone in Black Mountain Village knows. It's not a high-level technique, but it's something that can still be mastered.
Shen Kun was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Brother, I have already sensed the Qi and Blood. I still need to work hard for a while before I can be confident of entering the Qi and Blood Realm."
Shen Yi nodded slightly and said, "I'll be a little faster than you; I should be able to enter the Qi and Blood Realm within the next few days."
Upon hearing this, both Shen Kun and Shen Yuan couldn't help but show surprise and delight in their eyes.
Since my parents passed away, there has been no one practicing spiritual cultivation in my family, and my sense of security has always been much weaker.
But if my elder brother becomes a cultivator, the feeling will be different.
Shen Kun said excitedly, "Big brother, I'll go to Black Mountain tomorrow and try to hunt down a demonic beast so you can enter the Qi and Blood Realm as soon as possible."
The flesh and blood of demonic beasts contain immense blood energy, which is extremely beneficial to cultivators.
"no."
Upon hearing his idea, Shen Yi rejected it without hesitation, saying, "You haven't even reached the Qi and Blood Realm yet, and it's too dangerous for you to face demonic beasts. Even with the Yin Wood Longbow in hand, it would be difficult for you to react to a demonic beast's attack."
"Anyway, I'm only a few days away from the Qi and Blood Realm. Let's be patient. The prey we caught today is enough to feed us for a while. You should focus your energy on the Wild Bull Technique and try to enter the Qi and Blood Realm as soon as possible."
"But, brother..." Shen Kun wanted to say something more.
"No buts! It's decided." Shen Yi abruptly interrupted him.
Monsters are active outside during the day.
For ordinary people, encountering this would almost certainly mean certain death.
The only way to succeed is to improve your own strength!
Without any strength to protect themselves, the three siblings will eventually be devoured by this world.
It's not just demons and monsters, but also wicked people's hearts.
The atmosphere in the room fell silent.
Although Shen Kun knew that his older brother was thinking of him, he also wanted to do something for his older brother.
As long as we can defeat a monster, the time it takes for my brother to enter the Qi and Blood Realm can be greatly shortened!
With their parents gone, the eldest brother risked his life to go hunting for his two younger siblings, so they were naturally willing to do anything for him in return.
However, considering that his elder brother was still recovering from serious injuries, and that he had actually angered his elder brother, Shen Kun immediately felt extremely guilty.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, I promise I'll listen to you from now on."
Shen Yuan walked behind Shen Yi with a sensible air, massaged his shoulders, and said in a childish tone:
"Big brother, don't be angry. Second brother knows he was wrong. Your injuries haven't healed yet, and getting angry will only hurt you."
Shen Yi's expression softened slightly, and he said seriously, "From now on, whatever you do, always prioritize your own safety, understand?"
"We'll make further plans after I reach the Qi and Blood Realm."
"Yes, brother."
The two obediently agreed.
The atmosphere inside the house gradually returned to normal, warm and harmonious.
But not long after, a noise came from the courtyard, and the three siblings' expressions changed slightly.
Looking out the window, it was already completely dark.
Seven or eight strange spirits appeared in the courtyard at some unknown time. They were all shaped like large lanterns and floated in the air. Inside the lanterns, two strange, blood-red flames flickered, illuminating the courtyard in a ghastly red light.
"The lantern ghost is here," Shen Kun said in a low voice.
Shen Yi nodded, looking at the tightly closed wooden door, a slight tension in his heart.
He had only been in this world for half a day, and monsters were an unknown source of fear for him.
If the wooden door can't stop it, we'll be doomed tonight.
More and more noises were coming from the courtyard.
Strangely, the commotion only occurred in the courtyard and did not approach the wooden door.
In the past, there would have been monsters trying to break in at any time.
Not only Shen Yi, but Shen Kun and Shen Yuan also quickly noticed this anomaly.
The three of them glanced out the window with a hint of curiosity.
More than a dozen spirits were seen wandering around the courtyard, trying to approach the house, but for some reason, after getting a little distance from the wooden house, they seemed to be burned by something and quickly retreated.
Shen Kun and Shen Yuan looked puzzled.
These spirits and monsters weren't like this before.
Almost as soon as it gets dark, the spirits will rush in from all directions, frantically searching for the presence of living people.
The house is attacked by monsters every night.
What's wrong with me today?
Upon seeing this, Shen Yi's heart stirred, and he brought up the feature interface that appeared after the upgrade of the Evil-Breaking Wooden House.
【Characteristic: Suppresses Yin (White color, deals minor damage to Yin-attribute monsters near the wooden house)】
It was probably due to the "Suppressing Yin" property that these spirits were injured when they approached the wooden house, forcing them to retreat a distance.
They are not very intelligent; they only know to enter houses to find and devour human life.
Even when faced with unusual situations, they didn't seem to have any intention of giving up.
They were crowded together, and could not get any closer to the wooden house than two meters away, leaving an awkward open space in front of the wooden door.
Almost instantly, a bold idea popped into Shen Yi's mind.
"Ah Kun, bring me the Yin Wood Longbow."
"Brother, what do you want to do?"
Shen Kun had a bad feeling and handed over the Yin Wood Longbow.
"I'll try to shoot these lantern ghosts!"
Shen Yi's eyes gleamed.
The wood of the spirit is produced by the lantern ghost.
If he can shoot down the lantern ghosts and obtain more Yin Soul Wood, he can try to continue upgrading the Evil-Slaying Wooden House!
