Chapter 144 Chaos

Under the cover of night, on the Shenping Plain, Qin Ming was on a great escape.

The old donkey commanded all the demons, whether they were wolf monsters, sheep monsters, rat monsters, or any other kind, to surround and intercept them, and all of them were mobilized to take action. He even sent a dog monster to deliver a message.

It was also chasing itself, tearing off its tattered robe, no longer walking upright, but instead walking on all fours, its black donkey face stern, and running wildly all the way.

The old donkey was almost unharmed and maintained its formidable fighting strength; only its hooves had been trimmed when it unleashed its smashing punch. At this stage, of the four old demons, only it posed a fatal threat to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming trudged through the forest, covered in blood and with several broken bones. This was the most serious injury he had sustained since embarking on the path to rebirth.

Normally, Old Donkey Grass should have caught up with him by now.

However, the more it ran, the less it felt comfortable, because its four hooves were unevenly cut by Qin Ming’s mutton-fat jade iron knife, making it unsteady on its feet.

One of its front hooves was almost completely cut off, while the hoof under its right hind leg was perfectly preserved, untouched by the knife. This caused it to stumble along the way, nearly twisting its ankle several times.

Its donkey face was long and dark, almost dripping with water!

Even so, it still caught up. As it got closer to the tattered clothes and blood-soaked figure ahead, it immediately accelerated its pursuit.

Suddenly, Qin Ming turned around, brandishing his knife, and charged back at it.

Instantly, the old donkey’s body stiffened slightly, and it stopped in its tracks. Especially when it saw the human boy raise his small, white sword, which was as white as jade, its donkey hair stood on end!

It had witnessed the terrible fate of the Black Roc and the Fire-Scaled Lion firsthand, and was still shaken. Qin Ming made a gesture, raising his hand to throw the small sword!

The old donkey was terrified and immediately rolled over, abandoning all pretense of its noble status. When it looked up again, the human boy had turned and run away. Feeling mocked and humiliated, it gave chase.

As it approached a second time, Qin Ming turned and raised his small sword at it once more. As a result, the previously enraged creature turned on him again!

There was a second time, and then a third. By the fifth time, the old donkey realized that he was truly at his limit and could no longer use that killing move. It raised its hooves and chased after him relentlessly, wanting to kick the seemingly dying human boy to pieces!

However, this time Qin Ming poured all his heavenly light into the small sword, causing it to shine brightly for a moment before being thrown at close range.

With a soft “thud,” the old donkey dodged the fatal blow, but a bloody hole was punched through his body, and the donkey emerged from it!

This reminded it of its unpleasant past, the years when it was “enslaved” by others. It endured for a long time before rising up, so it naturally has a cautious side. Now it turns around and runs away.

Qin Ming picked up the small sword forged from strange metal, leaned against an old tree to keep himself from falling, blood constantly gushing from his mouth and nose; he was seriously injured.

As he gasped for breath, his chest heaved violently, and the broken bones in his chest and abdomen pierced his internal organs, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He endured the excruciating pain and set his bones.

If the broken bone were to pierce internal organs, the situation would be even worse. Qin Ming had no time to linger and continued traversing the dense forest.

He needs to find a place to refine this silver heart. He cannot perform a so-called “breakthrough in the heat of battle.” Rebirth is a process that takes one or two days.

“Here it is!” a bird cried out in mid-air. *Poof!*

Then it exploded, blasted apart by Qin Ming with an ordinary iron arrow!

His situation was dire. The old donkey had given the order, and many birds of prey and strange beasts, whether flying in the sky or running on the ground, were mobilized. This area was under the control of the four old demons, and none of the bird demons or beast monsters dared to disobey.

A five-meter-long fire bat flapped its blood-red fleshy wings as it approached. It was not as powerful as the four old demons, but it was still quite a threat to Qin Ming, who was becoming increasingly weak, at the level of Outer Saint.

Qin Ming took a deep breath to adjust his state, and drew his bow again to shoot an arrow. This time, he showed less hostility, and the iron arrow that flew out was not very powerful.

The fire bat was cautious and did not approach. It opened its mouth and spat out a blinding red light, which was extremely hot and turned the big tree Qin Ming was leaning against into ashes.

Qin Ming dodged away with a slight wisp of hair. He didn’t waste his energy protecting himself, but a strand of his hair was burned, which he cut off with his palm.

The fire bat closed in, flapping its demonic, blood-red fleshy wings. It greedily peered down, smelling the scent of the silver wolf king’s heart, and opened its mouth, continuously spewing out intense flames.

Qin Ming drew his bow, this time using a jade iron arrow. With all his might, he shot it into its head with a soft thud, and a domineering burst of light erupted from it.

The headless bat fell, breaking many thick tree branches.

The towering ancient tree suddenly collapsed, and a giant bear appeared silently, ambushing Qin Ming with a single paw strike that shattered the tree trunk he was leaning against.

Qin Ming, whose body was very weak, moved sideways to avoid the attack.

The giant bear roared and pounced on him. This huge creature was quite dangerous for Qin Ming in his current state; it clearly possessed the strength of an Outer Saint.

The trees in this area were broken, and the giant bear was glowing with blood. It was extremely ferocious, and the dense forest kept falling down, almost leveling the place.

After a fierce struggle, Qin Ming suddenly leaped up and plunged his knife into the giant bear’s head. With a loud thud, the massive bear collapsed to the ground.

Qin Ming collapsed, covered in bear blood, lying there motionless. He was utterly exhausted, but had to struggle to his feet, as more monsters had appeared nearby. Clearly, he wouldn’t be able to find a quiet place to refine the silver heart anytime soon.

He sat there, first circulating the Wuji Jing to absorb a small amount of earth essence to restore his strength, and then, looking at the silver, light-flowing heart, he directly drank a mouthful of silver blood.

According to the records in the Book of Changing Fate, one should use the Great Light to refine silver blood, purifying it repeatedly. In the end, the medicinal properties will transform into clouds and mist, nourishing the flesh and blood.

He can no longer be so meticulous.

After drinking the silver blood, he felt his stomach burning, as if it were about to be pierced.

Sure enough, the method was too crude and caused problems. The method for extracting medicinal properties in the “Destiny-Changing Scripture” was very reasonable, as the composition of wolf blood was too complex.

Even in this era, one should first consult a pharmacist to refine the essence of silver blood, instead of gulping it down like this. Qin Ming felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if it were being torn apart.

He felt as if his intestines had been ruptured, and he wished he could roll on the ground in agony.

The Silver Wolf King once had unlimited potential and grew extremely fast, but it failed to transform into a silver creature, and its cultivation came to a standstill. In addition to giving birth to some silver blood, it also produced some harmful substances.

Qin Ming was drenched in sweat, and even his pores were seeping streaks of blood. It took a long time for the excruciating pain to gradually subside.

Around Qin Ming, pairs of greedy eyes peered at him. They were all strange creatures, but when they saw the enormous bear and the fire bat with its head shattered not far away, they dared not rush forward.

After Qin Ming pulled through, he felt a surge of vitality within his body. The beneficial silver blood was being absorbed by him, and his condition was improving.

At least, he was no longer so weak. Qin Ming leaped up, raised his jade iron sword and shot out like lightning. With a series of thuds, he killed six aliens, two of which reached the Outer Saint level.

Instantly, chaos erupted in the area, and the beasts, monsters, and bird demons scattered in all directions.

After all this commotion, Qin Ming felt exhausted again. He desperately needed to rest, but the old demon wouldn’t give him that time.

He was experienced in wilderness survival and quickly found several plants, crushed their leaves, and applied the juice to his body to mask the smell.

However, this silver wolf heart was difficult to deal with; no matter what method was used, the faint fragrance could not be concealed. Qin Ming traveled far away, but he was always discovered by the monsters.

Fortunately, the silver wolf blood was still working; his body was burning hot, and his vitality was growing stronger.

Qin Ming knew he wouldn’t have a place to recuperate, so he figured he might as well refine the silver heart directly.

After recovering slightly, he activated the Heavenly Light Force, unleashing a dazzling light that enveloped the incredibly valuable wolf heart, continuously refining it.

Silvery clouds billowed, and a misty haze swirled, releasing a unique and alluring medicinal fragrance, especially for those of different kinds—the temptation was simply fatal.

A large number of monsters have reappeared.

Even though Qin Ming used the light of heaven to bind the silver heart and tried his best to gather all the light mist and medicinal fragrance around himself, wisps of it still escaped.

He couldn’t care less about anything else; once the Silver Blood Refining began, he had no intention of stopping. Battles were inevitable along the way, and he fought his way through.

The old donkey also appeared twice, and when it saw him tempering the silver heart, it couldn’t help but swallow its saliva.

It led a group of demons to attack Qin Ming, but it was not at its peak right now. It had a bloody hole in its body and was quite wary of Qin Ming, so it was hesitant to act.

Moreover, it discovered that Qin Ming’s condition was getting better and better. (Year)

Finally, the old donkey decisively sent a message to the “outside territory,” calling on friends and issuing a kill order to eliminate this human. The so-called “outside territory” refers to the area outside the four old demons’ territories; generally, other beings of the same level wouldn’t rashly approach.

Cross-industry.

Now it’s taking the initiative to invite me; it’s making an exception!

In an instant, Qin Ming was once again plunged into a life-or-death crisis.

Qin Ming hadn’t traveled far in this area before, mainly because he was worried about encountering powerful demons and monsters from other unknown places.

After all, the four old demons were now crippled in this territory, making it relatively safer. As a result, the old donkey started “summoning demons,” and everything changed.

A message was relayed by a bird, and almost instantly, the powerful creatures in the neighboring territories learned of the situation: “Although the Silver Wolf failed to evolve, it still retains some silver blood.”

Some incredibly powerful old demons were alarmed. Even if they were too powerful to use the heart, they could still bestow it upon their children and grandchildren. Qin Ming fled again, his condition much better, but the monsters he encountered were becoming increasingly formidable.

He was currently being chased by a black elephant, an old demon from a neighboring region. It was enormous, with strength comparable to Silver Wolf Earth. He hadn’t fully recovered and was at a disadvantage against this colossus. When its massive legs moved, the earth shook, and its enormous trunk lashed out…

The ancient tree burst open.

On two occasions, Qin Ming was nearly stepped on by those large feet.

The black elephant, radiating divine light, was enormous and posed a deadly threat to Qin Ming in his current state.

During the pursuit, he used the Jade Iron Arrow and found the perfect opportunity to shoot out one of the black elephant’s eyeballs, causing it to scream in agony and nearly fall to the ground.

The jade iron arrow can also pierce through the light of day, but it is not as devastating as the strange gold arrow.

“It’s a pity we lost another jade iron arrow. I wonder if we can find it later.” Qin Ming didn’t linger and turned to leave.

Next, he became quite angry, and some human adventurers from the God Plains came after hearing the news, not to help, but to hunt him!

Those people looked at the silver heart in his hand with greedy expressions!

In the dense jungle, Qin Ming beheaded a middle-aged man with a single stroke and then drove away without pausing.

“Brother, we’re on the same side, I’m here to help you!” A young man appeared, spreading his hands from the bushes to indicate that he meant no harm.

However, from behind Qin Ming, several cold arrows made of mithril burst forth, aiming for his head, back of the heart, and other vital organs.

His condition has improved a lot. Not only is his great light gradually filling up, but his divine wisdom and spiritual light are also accumulating, and his instinctive intuition is exceptionally sharp.

Qin Ming dodged the stray arrows and launched a counterattack with his jade-white iron sword! Moments later, three heads rolled to the ground, and he vanished into the distance.

As time went by, Qin Ming gradually refined the essence of the silver heart.

The composition of the silver blood is extremely complex, containing spiritual substances that can allow him to be reborn for the seventh time, as well as mysterious medicinal properties that can strengthen his “foundation,” making it incomparably precious!

The bad news is that this area is now in complete chaos, with demons running rampant, including some human adventurers, all of whom are trying to hunt down Qin Ming.

He took a deep breath and threw away the ten silver hearts.

Silvery light and mist enveloped his body, engulfing him in an intensely rich, unique medicinal fragrance. Qin Ming repeatedly purified the area before beginning to absorb the energy.

Rebirth is a process that takes a day or two, but from now on, his body will gradually become stronger!

(There’s more to come!)
