Hungry

Yang Zhai examined his body and found nothing wrong. After that, he began to clear his body from the negative effects left by the techniques by using purified rays.

After waiting for an hour, Yang Zhai called for Vara.

"Yes, master,"

"Go and check the area around this pit. Tell me if you find someone, and be careful," Yang Zhai orders Vara.

Vara did as Yang Zhai ordered. Vara flew out and examined the surroundings carefully.

"No, master, I didn't find anyone."

"Good, you can go back."

After that, Vara entered the ring again.

"Brother Yang, did you get these two beasts and these three rings from the inheritance?" Jun Haru looked at this and asked Yang Zhai.

"We don't have time for this. Also, Last, keep the Death Warrant and the emblems safe. We don't know if we will encounter anybody on our way. So, make sure that you protect them, let's go." After saying this, Yang Zhai opened the pit entrance and began running in a certain direction.

He didn't even fill up the pit like he always does.

I can worry about what happened to me later; right now, we need to get out of here, Yang Zhai contemplated.

The Last One and Jun Haru followed Yang Zhai closely.

They would occasionally stop and rest. Yang Zhai's body was hurting; his wounds would open, and he would have to burn that area to stop the bleeding.

Many burn marks could be in many places on Yang Zhai's body.

Brother Yang really is something. He had been fighting two rank 5 cultivators for many hours and also dealt with many rank 3 cultivators. But even after that, instead of resting, he is burning his wounds to keep going: Jun Haru, who was seeing the whole process, was flabbergasted.

After a while, they came to a stop. This was a valley far away from the Ma and the Bai clans. This valley came after crossing many rank 5 beasts territories.

As this valley was empty and in the open, no beast tried to occupy this area. Also, this valley was right in the middle of many rank 5 beasts. It could be said to be a border that separated many beasts' territories.

Yang Zhai had taken refuge here in his previous life. He had found this place by accident and was particularly safe. As this was in the middle of the rank 5 beasts territories, no cultivator ever came here.

"Sigh, we are finally here! Good, let's take a break for a few days here. After that, we will leave for Mantora Mountain." Yang Zhai sighed.

He ordered the Snakes of Truth to look around the area just to be careful. After that, he sat down, leaned against a wall, and slept.

He closed his eyes and slept. His clothes were torn from everywhere. His hair was disheveled, and he was injured all over. There were many burn marks on him.

If anyone saw him, they would consider him to be a beggar.

He wasn't worried about the cultivators. The battle had just ended. Even Tai Qi would take a lot of time to reach the Bai clan and in his current state, he would have to be careful of someone attacking him on his way back to the Bai clan. Thus, he might spend his night outside at a safe location.

More than half of the Bai clan and the Ma clan elders had died, so they also wouldn't send a search team without a proper plan. Right now, there was a high chance that if these two clans didn't come up with a good plan soon enough, they would be eliminated and looted by the surrounding clans in a month or two.

Anyway, even if someone arrives, The Last One is there to guard and alert Yang Zhai. Jun Haru, too, was totally loyal to Yang Zhai now, and Yang Zhai knew that as well.

If Jun Haru wanted to survive, he would need Yang Zhai as he was not familiar with the outside world. And he was alive because of Yang Zhai to begin with.

The night went by and the sun was rising.

It was quite peaceful. The birds were chirping and the scenery was quite serene. There is very lush green grass everywhere in this valley. There is also a bid tree located right in the middle.

Yang Zhai woke up and saw that The Last One was standing and looking around. He was also holding onto three things.

"Give them here,"

Yang Zhai went close to The Last One and took those three things. One was a black spider and the other two were the emblems.

"Oh… it managed to reach rank 4! Just how much life did Cu Gil had? I thought it would only be able to near the rank 4. He surely exceeded my expectations!"

Yang Zhai was impressed after looking at the spider. This spider was the Death Warrant that was stolen from the Bai clan's treasury.

Yang Zhai walked and went to the other side of the tree. He used the Earth Burial Ka to dig a pit. He entered it and closed it.

After that, he activated the seal ring, and the gate started to manifest. It took a while, but it manifested. Yang Zhai opened the gate and entered it. The gate disappeared when he entered.

This was the same inheritance ground from where Yang Zhai obtained the inheritance. He casually placed the Death Warrant and the Kroy City's emblems on the ground, near the lake. He drank a little bit of water after checking whether it was poisonous or not.

After that, he came out of the inheritance and closed the gate. When he did that, the inheritance gate disappeared.

Yang Zhai came out of the pit and filled it up.

"Hey! Jun Haru, wake up!"

He woke up Jun Haru. Jun Haru woke up and looked around.

"What is it, brother?"

"Let's go and look for food. I haven't eaten for the whole day."

"Hmm, don't you have any food in your bracelet?"

Jun Haru was confused. He didn't have any storage type ka or an ire, so it was understandable that he couldn't store any food and spare clothes, but Yang Zhai had a storage bracelet.

"I forgot, anyway, if you don't want to stay hungry the whole, let's go."

Yang Zhai did store food and clothes, but they were in the Bloody Storage Ka. His essence stones and other necessities were all stored in there, but he lost it.

I only have around 20 low-grade essence stones left in my storage bracelet, along with some knives and such. I have also lost a lot of energy and need to eat. My stomach is also burning from hunger.

Yang Zhai didn't have any healing methods to heal his body or to keep it healthy. So, he needed to rely on his body's metabolism.

"Be careful, rank 5 beasts live around these areas. So, try to avoid using any kind of cultivation methods and depend on your body's strength. This valley is a place that luckily appears where no beast rules."

Yang Zhai and Jun Haru were hiding and looking around.

"II will go to the right, and you go to the left."

Yang Zhai said and was about to leave, but…

"But…brother, if these areas are so dangerous, shouldn't we stay together?"

Jun Haru was hesitant.

"No, if we split up, we can find the food easily. This way, we can hide easily and run whenever we want. We can't hold each other back. There is no need to capture a beast or anything like that. Just try to look for the fruits."

After saying this Yang Zhai left. Jun Haru hesitated at first, but he did as Yang Zhai told him to.

Yang Zhai was walking when he heard a voice nearby. He hid and looked.

He saw a bear. This bear was 14 feet in size. It was as big as a house. Yang Zhai didn't move and stopped. If he even mistakenly alerted it, he would be in trouble.

After waiting for a while, Yang Zhai finally moved. The bear had left.

Yang Zhai walked forward and continued his search. He saw many peach trees. All of them had a lot of peaches on them. Yang Zhai looks around and after confirming that nothing is around this area, he begins to pick up these peaches.

He was storing them away in the storage bracelet as quickly as possible.

After picking up a lot of peaches, he left. He came back to the valley.
