Xiaohu said to Du Shaomu, "Therefore, in these few months, we have to hunt more prey so that we can keep rations for the winter. Only by eating more beast meat can we get nourishment. Those old people in the village aren't afraid of the cold in the winter."
"Is there only you people in the village?"
Du Shaomu looked around the small courtyard. Although it was simple and concise, it was extremely clean and warm. It made people think of their home, but there was something wrong.
"My father, Skinny Monkey's father, and Iron Ox's father have all gone hunting. Every time they go out, it will take them ten days to half a month. They probably won't be back for a few more days."
Xiaohu chuckled. They secretly went hunting because their dad wasn't here.
From Xiaohu's words, Du Shaomu found out that the entire Tao Village only had 300-400 people. Other than a few injured people and a few people who were guarding the village, the rest of the people went into the mountains to hunt.
There weren't many prey in the nearby mountains. Although it was far away and dangerous, there were still many prey.
Furthermore, every time the young and strong of the village entered the mountain, they would also need to collect some medicinal herbs in preparation for an emergency.
As for harvesting medicinal herbs, he needed to enter the deep mountains.
"My dad is the best hunter in the village, and also the strongest warrior in the nearby villages!"
Xiaohu's face was filled with pride when he mentioned his Abba. His Abba was the most powerful warrior in the village and had reaped the most rewards from hunting every time.
Only then did Du Shaomu understand. No wonder he felt something was amiss. He had just seen the elderly, women, and children in the village.
"Xiaohu, come over here. Let's see where else you can run to!"
Xiaohu's sister came back and rushed into the yard. Her beautiful face was still filled with anger. She held the bamboo stick in her hand and looked extremely intrepid.
Looking at his sister, Xiaohu had an instinctive fear. He immediately hid behind Du Shaomu, stuck out his head, and rolled his big eyes as he said, "Sister, I really don't dare anymore. A guest has come to our house. Please give me some face, okay?"
"Guest …"
The young girl had already seen Du Shaomu and was sizing him up.
At that moment, Du Shaomu's hair was in a mess and it covered half of his face. His clothes were in tatters and he was stained with dried blood stains. It was as if blood was on his body and his aura was quite weak.
"Sister, this is Brother Mu Elder Brother Shaodu. He was injured and lost consciousness for two days and I ran into him, so I brought him back to the village to heal. It's too dangerous outside and he could be eaten by ferocious beasts and demonic beast at any time." Xiaohu said to his sister.
"Which village are you from?" The girl looked at Du Shaomu and asked.
"I come from far away, not from a nearby village."
Du Shaomu sized up the young girl in front of him. She looked to be around fifteen or sixteen, and her body also rippled with the aura of the fifth level of Martial Master Stage.
"It's not from a nearby village …"
Hearing this, the young girl's clear eyes that were as bright as the stars immediately filled with surprise. In this million li of wild Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, the person in front of her didn't seem that old, so why would he run over to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain?
"Your injuries are very serious, I'll go ask grandfather to come and treat them."
The girl didn't think too much about it. She could tell that the person in front of her was heavily injured and needed to be treated. She then seemed to recall something and asked, "Oh right, you've been unconscious for two days. You must be hungry. I'll make you something to eat first."
"Thank you. I'm not hungry, so I won't be troubling you."
Du Shaomu shook his head. At the current cultivation level, he had long passed the stage where he still felt hunger. A few months of not eating and drinking wouldn't be a problem, sometimes it was purely for the sake of the tooth sacrifice.
"Sis, I'm hungry. Can you cook something for me?"
Xiaohu stuck his head out and snickered, "I want the soup my sister made. I've been thinking too much about it even if I don't drink it for a day."
"Hungry, you deserve it. You actually went hunting in the mountains again. What if there are some powerful demonic beast inside the mountains? You just want me to worry."2
The girl glared at Xiaohu and pouted, "The soup is in the pot, it's still warm, go get it."
"Thank you elder sister, I knew that elder sister would treat me the best."
Xiaohu chuckled as if he had already known this for a long time. Even though his sister was fierce, she treated him the best in her heart.
"How about you drink some too? Are you really not hungry? You're welcome."
The girl said to Du Shaomu, but her eyes were still curiously sizing Du Shaomu up.
"No need, just find me a quiet place."
Du Shaomu shook his head. What he needed the most right now was a quiet place to treat his wounds.
"I'll find a good place for you to heal. It's also very safe."
Xiaohu walked over and gave Du Shaomu a mysterious smile.
Then Xiaohu led Du Shaomu to the back of the mountain.
In the back of the mountain, there was a towering ancient tree. It was dark and gloomy, like an enormous umbrella that had been expanded.
Within a large tree, however, there was another world.
The center of the trunk was empty. The interior was even larger than a small room.
This is the place that Skinny Monkey, Steel Ox, and I found when we were young. It's our secret base, and it's very quiet. The inside of the village is also very safe. Xiaohu said.
"I need a few days to recover from my injuries. If there's nothing important, just don't disturb me." Du Shaomu said to Xiaohu.
Xiaohu nodded and left after asking Du Shaomu if there was anything else he could help with.
Inside the tree hole, Du Shaomu set up a Seal Inhibition. Then, he sat down cross-legged and started cultivating to heal his injuries.
The Ancient Heaven Shrouding Mantra revolved, and an ancient Qi undulated. Light immediately filled the air.
Du Shaomu's injuries were indeed severe.
However, the injuries on Du Shaomu's body, were not from the Carefree Sect.
In the Carefree Sect, Du Shaomu was only exhausted. The final terrifying spear was also blocked by the ancient armor on his body.
However, due to the spatial teleportation Spell Formation collapsing, the injuries Du Shaomu suffered in the end were not light. If not for the Ancient Witch Divine Body and the backing he had on him, he probably would not have survived this battle.
Coming to this unfamiliar Wild Domain, the most important thing was naturally to recover to his peak condition and deal with any unforeseen circumstances.
With Du Shaomu's current understanding of Wild Domain, Wild Domain was not an ordinary place.
Wild Domain located outside of one sea, three lands and six continents, and also outside of the three sects' four hidden grounds' forces, was completely a place that didn't care about anything else.
Therefore, the various large and small forces within the Wild Domain were intertwined with each other, and were especially fierce and fearsome.
It was rumored that some powers were just established within the Wild Domain, and might even be stomped over by other forces on the same day.
Killing people for treasures was a common occurrence in the Wild Domain, it was extremely normal.
