Chapter 12: Bumping into a Monster While Picking Herbs

After the first successful feeding, Ye Lingyue fed it a second time, then a third time…

 To let the adorable little pup like her more, Ye Lingyue changed her patterns and hunted different wild beasts every day.

 There were winter chickens, spores, and more. It would be a different wild beast every day. Apart from leaving a small portion for her consumption, Ye Lingyue would cut the remaining portions into pieces and give them to the adorable little pup every time.

 This also resulted in Ye Lingyue’s actual fighting skills to greatly improve. She became more agile as the elementary force in her dantian grew drastically.

 It was around the third time of feeding that the adorable little pup stopped avoiding Ye Lingyue when it ate. It would appear every day at a fixed time, walking out of the white fog and waiting for Ye Lingyue.

 “The little thing didn’t scurry away after seeing me. This is a good sign.” Seeing this, Ye Lingyue smiled.

 Judging from the little thing’s reaction, Ye Lingyue was sure that it wasn’t a simple wild beast. It didn’t seem like an intermediate carnivore wild beast either.

 Why would the little thing appear here? Who left it here?

 Ye Lingyue stared at the thick white fog, confusion filling her mind as she wondered what was hiding behind it.

 Day after day, the adorable little pup stopped being so guarded against Ye Lingyue, and it allowed Ye Lingyue to stand ten meters away from it.

 After around fifteen days, Ye Lingyue had hunted a wild pig with great luck. The wild pig was at least over two hundred pounds heavy.

 “The wild pig meat is tough and hard to eat. Perhaps I can grill the meat this time.” Ye Lingyue thought for a while before she grilled a wild pig leg. She even sprinkled some coarse salt on it.

 Not knowing if the little thing could get used to this new taste, Ye Lingyue entered Hongmeng Sanctuary again with anticipation.

 In Hongmeng Sanctuary, the adorable little pup was already waiting for her. When it saw Ye Lingyue, it hurriedly ran over with its short legs.

 After biting a mouthful of the grilled pork meat, the little thing shivered and it poked its pink tongue out. Tears welled up in its blue eyes.

 “It’s too hot, you impatient little thing.” Ye Lingyue laughed as she ruffled its head.

 The adorable little pup’s fur was soft, like a good piece of silk. It made Ye Lingyue love touching it.

 This time, the little thing didn’t avoid her touch. It was no longer against Ye Lingyue’s attempts at getting closer to it.

 As Ye Lingyue caressed its head, it continued to nibble at the pork leg with small bites. Ye Lingyue noticed that the adorable little pup ate in a rather elegant manner like someone had taught it before.

 Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but think that even her thoughts were ridiculous.

 The little thing felt satisfied after tasting the grilled meat for the first time. It finished the entire pork leg, making Ye Lingyue flabbergasted with its appetite.

 After it had eaten the grilled pork leg, the adorable little pup moved beside Ye Lingyue. It raised a leg and peed at her feet.

 2“You little thing…” Ye Lingyue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

 Although she suddenly got peed on, Ye Lingyue’s heart was warm. She knew that for canines, such action meant that the adorable little pup had accepted her.

 Ye Lingyue played for a while with the adorable little pup before she left Hongmeng Sanctuary.

 After two weeks, Ye Lingyue had become experienced in hunting wild beasts in the belt of the mountain, and it wasn’t challenging to her anymore.

 It would be hard to find any more precious herbs in that area too, so Ye Lingyue decided to head further up in the mountain to test her luck.

 If she was lucky, she would be able to find the out-of-stock green-wood fruit further up the mountain. Herbs that were in demand would sell at a much better price than the Gathering Elemental herb.

 The more she went further up, the fewer traces there were of human activity. However, there were so many precious herbs that had dazzled her eyes, even ones that she couldn’t name.

 Walking for about three hours, the mountainous route became tougher to trudge on.

 A fruity fragrance filled her senses. Taking a glance towards that direction, Ye Lingyue found a patch of thick and dense woods. On a strong tree, there hung several jade-green fruits the size of persimmons.

 Green-wood fruit. Ye Lingyue’s eyes brightened as she walked towards it.

 Perhaps it was because it had been a while since someone harvested it, fruits filled the branches. Ye Lingyue took some and suddenly heard some rustling behind her. From the woods walked out a gray-furred, iron-armed ape.

 This type of iron-armed ape was incredible. It was even taller than a grown man as its arms rested below its knees. Using its full strength, it could smash a rock into two pieces. It was a wild ape and was well known in the Seven Star mountain. It was comparable to a high-class carnivorous wild beast.

 At that moment, it was staring right at the green-wood fruit Ye Lingyue was holding. All of its furs were standing up, looking furious.

 Loud snorts sounded from the iron-armed ape’s nostrils. With a wave of its arms, it pushed away all the trees and bushes around it.

 It was not good. This patch of green-wood fruit forest was the iron-armed ape’s territory.

 Ye Lingyue’s chest tightened.

 She remembered that she read in ‘Great Zhou magazine’ that some high-class carnivorous wild beasts have really strong territorial instincts. No wonder so many herb harvesters were killed.

 The iron-armed ape growled out loud as its iron-like arm smashed towards Ye Lingyue.

 Ye Lingyue was quick to react, and the elementary force in her dantian congregated in her fist.

 Putting pressure on one leg, her body agilely avoided the iron-armed ape’s attack. Lightning bolts flashed on her fists and with three loud cracks, she instantly produced three Broken Thunder fists.

 As the Broken Thunder Fist landed on the iron-armed ape’s left arm, its muscles split open. The iron-armed ape angrily growled out once more after its flesh split apart like a blooming flower.

 The iron-armed ape whined and its tall body trembled. Ye Lingyue’s Broken Thunder Fists had shattered its forearm bones.

 Beep…

 But with the iron-armed ape’s left arm injured, it grew even more violent. It used all of its brute force to tear a piece of wood that was as thick as its arm and it threw it at Ye Lingyue.

 On its way over to smash her, wood and dirt flew everywhere.

 Knowing that she wasn’t strong enough to defeat the ape head-on, Ye Lingyue didn’t dare to go against it just like that. Using the remaining elementary force within her, she hurriedly ran into the depth of the woods to hide.

 With the iron-armed ape ruling the area for many years, when had it ever suffered like this? It immediately ran after Ye Lingyue, chasing after her nonstop.

 It was a good thing that there were many trees in the woods. Since the ape was hurt, Ye Lingyue managed to put some distance between them as quickly as possible.

 After a long chase, the ape lost track of Ye Lingyue. It could only look around for her in confusion and anger.

 Not too far away, in an old tree’s hollow, a pair of eyes were staring at the sight.

 It was an old tree that a lightning bolt had killed. It even had dry tree branches. All that was left was its hollow tree trunk that Ye Lingyue hid in her panic.

 Indeed, the iron-armed ape didn’t notice her. After a round of searching, it had no choice but to walk away.

 Just as Ye Lingyue was about to take the chance to flee, she realized that the tree walls were slippery. She then lost her footing and rolled into the tree hollow that seemed to have no depths.
