Chapter 57: Meat Man Prefecture

The next day…

A gray-haired giant wolf, about ten feet long, with a forked tail, crossed fangs, and barbs on its tongue, made a sound of clashing metal as it ran.

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon was running.

It ran faster and faster, and the dense forests on both sides quickly retreated.

Soon, it found a mountain area with complex terrain.

It ran in, and when it passed a mud pit, it skillfully rolled in it, letting its fur be completely covered by the smell of mud, and at the same time, there was also a rotten smell.

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon was actually a very particular wolf.

When it ate a hunter before, it gave all its favorite intestines to the minions below, while it slowly tore open the hunter’s belly meat, and roasted it directly on the fire before eating it.

Such a wolf naturally cherished its fur very much.

But now, it couldn’t care less.

It ran left and right in the mountain area.

It remembered that there was a very hidden cave here, so hidden that it was like a forgotten cave in the world. It wanted to hide…

Soon, it found the cave.

The cave was on a cliff.

The cliff was as sharp as a knife from top to bottom, and dark green vines hung down, just covering the entrance of the cave.

It rushed out of the cliff, and it didn’t even dare to let its claws go deep into the cliff wall and leave a mark.

It carefully retracted its claws and fell down. Only when it reached the cave did it suddenly move and drill into it, and then went deep into the cave without stopping, hiding behind the rugged rocks.

It was well hidden.

It restrained its aura and slowed its breathing.

It had never thought that it would be chased by a terrifying demon as soon as it came here.

Wasn’t this a newly discovered Meat Man Prefecture?

Everyone was here to eat, so why did someone not eat and insist on coming to find it?

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon was full of grievances.

But it still did its best to hide…

It only hoped that the terrifying demon would not chase it after eating its minions.

Time passed by minute by second…

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon did not dare to move.

After an unknown amount of time, it suddenly heard a “crackling” sound from the cliff, which was not concealed. The sound stopped at the entrance of the cave covered by vines.

“Little fellow, I’ve found you.”

A teasing voice sounded.

In the darkness, a set of eerie white teeth was revealed with a smile.

Then, a hurricane of unimaginable strength suddenly hung in this hidden cave, and the vines and rocks were shattered.

When the Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon heard the sound, it felt its whole body go cold. It was about to fight back desperately, but it felt its vision blur, and a pain in its neck, and then it lost consciousness.

Golden light surged, and Chou Nu’s figure appeared.

This Heavenly Master of Wangyue Prefecture glanced at the young man who was holding the Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon in his hand, and couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.

Just now, he was a little dazed, and for a moment, he couldn’t tell who was the demon.

Although the Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon was not strong, it was also something that required him to personally deal with, not something that the Fangshi below could solve. But when facing his younger brother, this Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon was directly scared out of its wits, and didn’t even want its home. It didn’t even dare to face him, and directly fled in panic.

But even so, it was still caught up by his younger brother, and then was knocked out in an instant… it really didn’t even have the strength to fight back.

Chou Nu was both happy and self-deprecating in his heart, feeling that he was a waste.

He subconsciously sighed softly.

Ning Xuan said, “What’s wrong, Big Brother?”

Chou Nu naturally would not tell his younger brother the self-deprecation in his heart. This kind of thing could be solved by working hard to become stronger. What was the point of complaining? So, he said casually, “Xuan’er, you are improving so fast. I have to go back and tell Dad.”

Ning Xuan’s eyes lit up, “That’s great. If Dad has the ability, then find me a strong enough young lady.”

“Strong enough?” Chou Nu laughed out loud, “The kind of young lady who can kill me with one punch, right?”

In front of his own family, Chou Nu’s personality was also much more optimistic.

Ning Xuan sighed, “Big Brother, it’s too easy to kill you with one punch. You have to be blown to death from a few li away.”

Chou Nu said, “I’m afraid it’s also very difficult for Dad to find such a young lady. Even if he knows her, he can’t find her back.”

Ning Xuan smiled, “Then marry a vase. I’ll just keep her at home.”

The two brothers fought the wolf, chatted for a while, and then went far away.

Soon…

A wild figure was traveling through the mountains like a hurricane, holding a giant wolf in his left hand and a ghost-faced man in his right hand.

Chou Nu was like clothes on a clothes rack, being blown back and forth.

He was filled with emotion in his heart.

He still remembered that before, it was he who took his little brother to use earth-遁 (dì dùn – earth escape).

Now, his little brother was taking him to fly. This speed, tsk tsk… although it was not as fast as using earth-遁 (dì dùn – earth escape) to jump to a place, the overall speed was not much different.

That night…

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon woke up.

As it regained consciousness, it felt the terrifying demonic aura right next to it, which made it have to continue to pretend to be unconscious.

But a fragrance came from not far away.

Thud!

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon felt that it had been slapped.

It hurriedly woke up, bowed its head and kowtowed, shouting, “Spare my life.”

By the red bonfire, the shadows of the trees were long and slanted.

Two ghost-faced men were sitting by the side, roasting skewers of meat.

The terrifying demon was one of them.

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon prostrated on the ground and secretly glanced at the demon, and found that the other party was actually in human form… it was even more frightened.

“Do one thing for me, and I will spare you if you do it well.” Ning Xuan said directly.

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon nodded repeatedly, not daring to ask what it was.

Ning Xuan suddenly sniffed and smelled a burnt rabbit. He directly grabbed it and threw it over, saying, “Eat your fill and do your work well.” He himself grabbed another skewer of well-roasted fish and ate it.

As for Chou Nu next to him, it was small pieces of meat that had been cleaned and cut neatly. The Heavenly Master’s constitution was weak. If he ate something unclean and died, it would be a grievance.

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon hurriedly grabbed the rabbit and ate it carefully in large mouthfuls.

Ning Xuan said, “Tell me, where did you come from?”

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon hurriedly said.

It said that it had been the king of a mountain called Xiaojin Peak before, and it had recently heard that a new “Meat Man Prefecture” had appeared, so it had run over excitedly.

Chou Nu had never communicated with such a well-behaved demon before. At this time, he said curiously, “What is a Meat Man Prefecture?”

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon glanced at him with disdain.

Ning Xuan said in a low voice, “Speak.”

Although the Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon was astonished, it still carefully told the information it knew.

It was in a remote mountain. It usually only caught nearby villagers, but it had also heard of the prosperous incense fire and solemn Buddhist sounds in the distance, and it had also heard of the Buddhist kingdoms and Taoist courts in the distance, but it was still a small demon and had not seen these.

However, it knew about “Meat Man Prefecture.”

“Meat Man Prefecture” was a small world with “many humans, uncivilized, and no faith.” As long as one could enter it, it was equivalent to entering the land of ultimate bliss, and one could eat to one’s heart’s content.

So every time a “Meat Man Prefecture” was discovered, it was equivalent to a carnival feast, the kind of “first come, first served.”

A bit of horror appeared on Chou Nu’s face behind the mask. He continued to ask, “Then how many such Meat Man Prefectures are there?”

The Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon said, “This is the first one I have entered, and it is also because it is close. As for the others… it is not my turn at all. I don’t know how many there are.”

Ning Xuan patted his big brother’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “It’s just a small demon. What can it know? Just listen.”

Not to mention anything else, as far as he knew, even a hundred years ago, demons were rampant.

If the place he was in was really the “Meat Man Prefecture” that this Golden-Clawed Wolf Demon was talking about, then it would have been destroyed long ago. How could it have become like this now?
