9 – Absolutely poisonous!

“I see.”

Wang Ping nodded at Chi Feng’s response, unsurprised.

Chi Feng was just a child, and everything he knew came from the Village Chief. It was impossible for him to know everything.

Even the Village Chief might not know what lies beyond the Innate Realm.

It was already surprising enough that the Village Chief of a village knew such detailed information about the three great realms.

This also indirectly indicated that the Village Chief and this village were not ordinary.

“Big Brother, let’s go out and meet the hunting team! Let me tell you, whenever the hunting team comes back, it’s the liveliest time in the village, and there’s always an endless supply of meat!”

At this moment, Chi Feng pulled Wang Ping and started running out, his throat rolling as he swallowed, looking quite greedy.

Because of this, Wang Ping stumbled a bit and almost fell, helplessly saying, “Chi Feng, I can walk on my own. If you pull me like this, it’s easy for me to fall.”

These words were somewhat embarrassing. As an adult, he couldn’t even keep up with a child.

However, considering this was a world with extraordinary powers, Wang Ping felt at ease.

“Sorry.” Hearing Wang Ping’s words, Chi Feng stopped, embarrassed, scratching his head, “I forgot you’re just a scholar, so frail.”

Wang Ping’s face twitched.

Though it was an unintentional remark from a child, it was indeed quite embarrassing.

He decided that he must find a way to become stronger!

As a man, he couldn’t be called frail and weak!

Soon, Wang Ping and Chi Feng arrived at the village entrance.

The village entrance was bustling.

Everyone in the village had gathered here to greet the hunting team.

Wang Ping looked around and was shocked.

The hunting team consisted of men, each over two meters tall, draped in beast skins. Beside them were their prey.

These prey had bizarre shapes and were quite large, generally the size of elephants.

Most importantly, even though these prey were dead, they still gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

To describe this feeling would be like encountering a hunting tiger alone in the wild, making one’s heart palpitate.

“No wonder the uncles of the hunting team have such a great harvest this time; they even hunted a Black Wind Leopard, a powerful fifth-level monster comparable to the Innate Realm!”

Chi Feng surveyed the robust men and their prey with a face full of admiration.

Hearing this, Wang Ping was stunned.

Hunting a fifth-level monster comparable to the Innate Realm?

The information in this sentence was astounding.

Although Wang Ping knew this village was not simple, he did not expect it to be so powerful, capable of hunting monsters of the Innate Realm.

Simultaneously, Wang Ping felt fortunate and fearful.

Since this village was this powerful and could hunt monsters in this forest, the forest must be extremely dangerous.

Had he chosen to stay outside the village to wait for the Life Simulator to refresh simulation attempts, he would likely have ended up as miserable as the 36th transmigrator.

Fortunately, he had mustered the courage to make the right choice; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Indeed, even with such a powerful Life Simulator, it doesn’t guarantee my safety. Danger is everywhere.”

Wang Ping laughed bitterly inwardly, gaining a new understanding of the perils of transmigration.

“Chi Feng, you finally came out… sorry, it’s my fault I couldn’t protect your parents.”

At this moment, a robust man carrying a large sword walked over, gently touched Chi Feng’s head, and said with a guilty expression.

“It’s not Uncle Chi Hu’s fault; my parents chose to stay behind themselves… They are the pride of the village. Moreover, I have decided to reach the peak of martial arts and revive my parents.”

Chi Feng said with clenched fists and a determined face.

Chi Hu sighed inwardly, saying, “Alright, then train hard. I will train you rigorously.”

Reviving parents by reaching the peak of martial arts was impossible even to think about.

Of course, seeing Chi Feng finally becoming strong, he wouldn’t be cruel enough to shatter the child’s dreams.

“You must be Wang Ping. The Village Chief told me about you. Thank you for taking care of Chi Feng. In this village, I train the children in martial arts. If you wish to practice martial arts, come to the training ground with Chi Feng tomorrow.”

Chi Hu then turned to Wang Ping, saying warmly.

“Since Big Brother Chi Hu said so, I’ll take you up on your offer.”

Hearing this, Wang Ping smiled lightly and cupped his fists.

“No need to be polite. However, be prepared. My training is very stringent; you might not be able to endure it. But with medicinal liquid and the nourishment of monster blood and flesh, you surely won’t die.”

Chi Hu smiled, patting Wang Ping’s shoulder.

Wang Ping’s face stiffened, feeling a bad premonition.

Although he sensed his future days would be tough, he had no intention of backing down. He decided to practice martial arts, become stronger, and gain the ability to protect himself.

Following this, under Chi Hu’s warm guidance, Wang Ping met many people in the village.

As the sky darkened, the round moon hung high, and the forest echoed with the cries of birds and insects and the roars of monsters.

The thirty hunters in the village drank heartily, discussing their hunting experiences.

The children played around joyfully.

Chi Feng was among them as well.

The women and elderly of the village were busy cooking and preparing the monster meat for a sumptuous feast.

The rice had been cooking long before Wang Ping entered the village and was ready to eat.

Seeing all this, Wang Ping felt a strange sense of warmth and peace.

“Despite the constant dangers, I’m quite lucky. After transmigrating, I ended up in a village like this.”

Wang Ping couldn’t help but sigh.

Then Wang Ping pulled up the chat group, intending to check the group’s messages.

As soon as he opened the chat group, he noticed many members tagging him and discussing him.

Wu Jun (20): “@Wang Ping so many times and still no response. Could it be something really happened to him?”

Liu Mei (15): “The number of people in the group hasn’t decreased, so he hasn’t died. However, we can’t rule out that he might have been bitten by a poisonous insect and is passed out, waiting to die.”

Fang Yun (3): “Newbie, oh newbie, you died so tragically. Another newbie wiped out… so pitiful.”

Zhang Hu (5): “Let’s wait a bit; maybe we’ll see a system prompt soon and then we can watch the death replay.”

Seeing these messages, Wang Ping felt a black line on his forehead.

He immediately made his presence known.

Wang Ping (66): “You guys are something else. I just didn’t respond for one or two hours and here you are cursing me to death. Absolutely poisonous.”
