Chapter 150: Lucky A Niu

The ground was soaked with blood, staining everything in sight red.

The sharp claws of beasts and broken weapons were scattered chaotically across the mountains.

The sun rose again.

Its light remained bright.

Shining on the soil, now dark red from the blood, the people of the Army of Survival trudged through the bloody mud, once again stepping towards the world beyond the mountains.

This was not a journey of grand ambitions, nor a path of glorious heroism.

It was merely a pitiful, laughable struggle to survive, nothing more.

“It’s time to move forward.”

Xu Xi walked to the front of the group.

The energy within his body roared, his organs like precisely meshed gears, further squeezing the Cosmic Power from the already strained heavens and earth.

Xu Xi didn’t know how much further the road ahead stretched.

He only knew—

Punch, slash, cut down all demons, and carve out a path forward.

“Dad! Mom! Damn monsters, I’ll fight you to the death!!”

“Big brother, big brother!”

“Dog Egg, don’t scare me, wake up, wake up!”

The long and dark road of survival was filled with tragedies and farewells.

Paved with blood and flesh, scattered with shattered bones, those who walked this path endured pain beyond human comprehension.

What they went through was no easier than Xu Xi’s trials.

Xu Xi had once asked them if they resented him for leading them into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

But the people’s answer remained the same.

No lies, no deceit.

“Brother Xu wouldn’t lie to us, he’s such a good person, how could he harm us?”

That’s what the people said, even though the pain they endured was like a blunt knife, repeatedly cutting into their nearly broken hearts.

But they still believed.

Believed that under Xu Xi’s leadership, they could truly survive.

Listening to the voices of trust, meeting the sincere eyes clouded with exhaustion, Xu Xi’s lips parted slightly. He said nothing, only gripping his blade tighter.

Kill.

Kill again.

The desire to kill surged within Xu Xi’s heart.

In his chest, it wasn’t just his heart that beat, but also the raging fury that poured out.

…

In the midst of flashing blades and clashing swords, lives vanished more easily than candlelight in the wind. In an instant, several lives were lost forever.

Half a month later.

Xu Xi killed even more fiercely.

He pushed himself to the limit, even using the Fool’s Technique, burning his energy and spirit to maximize the power within his body.

This wasn’t just because they had reached the most critical point of their breakout, with a Great Demon of the Third Stage of Innate Realm appearing, but also because of the crisis closing in from behind.

The traps Xu Xi had left behind.

Were being triggered at an alarming rate.

This meant that the Great Qian Dynasty’s pursuers, the so-called “Human Immortals,” were getting dangerously close to the Army of Survival.

“Not enough.”

“Not nearly enough!”

The prolonged slaughter had left Xu Xi’s voice hoarse.

His eyes were bloodshot and fierce, as he slaughtered demons amidst the sea of blood, trying to carve out a safer path for everyone before the Human Immortals arrived.

Xu Xi knew well that if they encountered the pursuing Human Immortals in their current location.

The Human Immortals and the demons would trap them from both sides.

At that point.

The people of the Army of Survival would truly have no way out.

For Xu Xi, death was just the end of a simulation, but for the people of the Army of Survival, death meant true eternal silence.

Xu Xi could leave.

But they couldn’t.

So, Xu Xi pushed himself to the limit, constantly squeezing every ounce of strength from his body, trying to lead everyone out of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

“Kill!!!!!”

Xu Xi was killing, Wu Yingxue was killing, the soldiers and people of the Army of Survival were also killing.

It seemed like fate was truly favoring them.

For some reason, the pursuit speed of the Great Qian Human Immortals had slowed significantly.

Xu Xi succeeded, leading the people of the Army of Survival out of the most dangerous area before the pursuers could catch up.

The demons were no longer as powerful.

Their numbers had dwindled.

“There’s no mistake, this is the sign that we’re about to leave the Ten Thousand Mountains.”

Xu Xi stood in mid-air, gazing into the distance. Though the endless mountains still filled his vision, he knew that true dawn was not far away.

After landing.

Xu Xi saw Wu Yingxue, panting heavily, and the exhausted people resting on the ground.

But he didn’t see the young man who always scratched his head with a simple smile.

Only then.

After tirelessly carving a path for everyone day and night, exhausted to the point of forgetting everything, did Xu Xi suddenly realize that A Niu was no longer in the Army of Survival.

“Where is A Niu?”

…

A Niu, full name Zhang Tieniu.

Was a man born simple-minded.

His mother said so, the people in town said so, and A Niu himself believed it.

He couldn’t do anything right, only knew how to eat and farm.

In Qingniu Town, where food was precious, being able to eat was a sin, tormenting both himself and his family.

A Niu had always felt guilty and ashamed about this.

But!

A Niu was lucky!

Really, really lucky, luckier than finding a golden hoe!

Brother Xu came, he always brought some demon meat. Though it didn’t taste great, the people of Qingniu Town no longer had to go hungry.

During the winter demon tide, there was always more demon meat.

Those were the rare days when A Niu could eat his fill.

Thinking of this.

The man walking on the muddy, bloody road instinctively licked his dry lips, reminiscing about the happiness of a full stomach.

I really want to eat more, another full meal of demon meat.

Hmm—

If it were sweet white rice, that would be even better, A Niu would be so happy.

But, A Niu probably won’t get the chance, right?

“…”

A Niu stopped in his tracks. He walked in the opposite direction of the Army of Survival, heading back. Finally, he saw the most terrifying demon.

Dressed in dragon-patterned robes, looking incredibly majestic.

The kind of sight that would make ordinary people tremble in fear.

A Niu was no exception.

His body shook, constantly feeling fear, but even so, under the demon’s surprised gaze, he boldly raised his fist.

“You’re not afraid of me?”

The demon asked.

“I am.”

A Niu answered honestly.

He didn’t know how strong the demon before him was, but as someone only at the First Stage of Innate Realm, just standing was a struggle. His fist felt weak, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

He really wanted to run away.

To crawl on the ground, rolling in the mud in the most pathetic way.

But he couldn’t.

A Niu bit his lip, forcing himself to stand still, continuing to face the demon.

“Are you trying to buy time?”

The demon’s curiosity grew, his hand gently stroking his chin, his expression thoughtful: “You, are quite interesting.”

He didn’t mind the delay.

It just meant the game would end a bit later.

Compared to that, the overly bold “ant” before him was far more intriguing.

“What did he give you?”

A Niu knew who the demon was referring to.

He still answered honestly: “Food.”

“Just that? I can give you a hundred, a thousand times more, if you’re willing to serve me.”

“I don’t want it, your food is smelly, sour.”

“Is that so… then there’s no helping it.”

The demon sighed regretfully, reaching out towards A Niu, who stood firm.

As his hand extended, it swelled and transformed, gradually becoming a massive claw covered in thick dragon scales.
