Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 52: Foundation Building

The valley was tranquil, with clear springs and lush greenery.

Two giant wolves, each taller than a person, with all-over green fur, were bowing their heads to drink from the stream.

Howl!

After one of the green wolves finished drinking, it raised its head and let out a long howl, causing all the birds, fish, and insects within a hundred meters to flee in panic.

The other green wolf lifted its head and approached the first one. The two beasts intertwined their necks for a moment before leaving the stream and running towards the southwest.

Although their postures were fierce, they landed silently as if they were stepping on air instead of the ground.

With a single leap of their four hooves, they covered several zhangs in distance. Surrounded by a green aura, they moved at a speed resembling two streaks of green light.

They ran for a while before abruptly stopping.

A figure wearing a blue robe emerged from the opposite direction, right in front of them.

Their six eyes met!

Both the person and the beasts were momentarily stunned.

In the next moment, the person turned around abruptly and flew in another direction.

Roar!

One of the taller green wolves recognized its enemy and let out a loud roar. It leaped into the air and chased after the figure.

The other green wolf hurriedly followed suit.

The three of them, one in front and two behind, disappeared in the blink of an eye.

...

"Fortunately, I took the initiative. Otherwise, if these two fourth-rank demonic beasts attacked at the same time, even if I could survive, others would undoubtedly die!" Xu Mu thought to himself, feeling fortunate.

The sound of the wind whistled in his ears, but Xu Mu showed no signs of panic in the face of the pursuit of two fourth-rank demonic beasts.

Swish! Swish!

With a leap, he agilely dodged the wind blades that came from behind. Then, with a sudden turn, he brought his palms together, and several fierce fire dragons emerged, tearing towards the charging giant wolf.

The green wolf's feet emitted a green light as it stepped on the void, agilely evading the incoming fire dragons. It pounced forward, instantly closing the distance between them.

Its large mouth opened wide, ready to strike again and bite.

Xu Mu's eyes flashed, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. A snow-white, frost-like long sword suddenly appeared in his gloved right hand.

The blade of the sword radiated a cold light, surrounded by layers of white mist, causing the temperature in the air to drop by more than ten degrees.

A fifth-rank spiritual weapon—the Frosty Icy Serpent Sword!

Xu Mu held the spiritual sword and charged fiercely towards the green wolf.

The unique aura of the spiritual weapon made the green wolf's pupils contract slightly.

However, facing Xu Mu's charge, the green wolf's face also revealed a human-like sneer, as if it had anticipated this.

Its entire body emitted a green light, quickly coiling and condensing, instantly transforming into a set of thick wind armor that covered its entire body.

This is an ability it has never used before, obviously deliberately hiding its clumsiness, wanting to surprise and win at a critical moment.

"Do you think this thing can stop me?"

Xu Mu's eyes were mocking, his heart beating violently, his body began to swell like being inflated, his muscles were knotted, veins bulging, and he stomped fiercely on the ground, causing the ground within ten zhang to crack like a spider web.

Using the power under his feet, Xu Mu leaped and slashed, tearing through the sticky air, and a white vacuum force field appeared beneath the long sword.

Boom!

The air exploded, like thunder cracking!

Thunder Sword Art - Thundering Style!

Puchi!

The wind armor on the green wolf, which could withstand an ordinary Foundation Building strike, was instantly torn apart by the sword that created a vacuum.

The blade pierced through flesh and blood, the sword light flashed, and a person and a wolf passed each other in mid-air.

The green wolf landed on the ground, staggered forward a few steps, and with a thud, its head plunged into the ground.

Crack! Crack!

Layers of blue frost spread from the wound, quickly freezing half of the green wolf's body.

Xu Mu handed the Frost Cold Chi Sword to his left hand, raised his eyes and looked at the other green wolf, his eyes filled with killing intent.

The one he killed was a green wolf that had been causing trouble for him, while the slightly smaller one remaining was the helper it had called.

"Awuu!"

Facing Xu Mu's gaze, the other green wolf slowly retreated, finally glanced at its companion's fallen body, fear appeared in its eyes, it let out a low whimper, turned around, and disappeared into the jungle.

"..."

Xu Mu was somewhat speechless.

He thought there would be a tough battle.

Although the sword just now was extremely powerful, his own arm was also injured by the recoil force. There were at least three fractures in his arm, rendering it useless.

If this remaining green wolf fought him desperately, even if he could win in the end, it would definitely be a narrow victory.

"A couple originally from the same forest, when a great disaster comes, they each fly away! Very well!"

Xu Mu grinned and quickly put away the Frost Cold Chi Sword.

Not to mention that he didn't wear gloves on his left hand, even if he did, it would still be uncomfortable to hold the Frost Cold Chi Sword.

Looking at his right hand, the gloves sewn by Leng Yue Ning for him had all burst open.

"It seems that after going back, I'll have to trouble Miss Yue Ning to sew another one!"

At first, he wanted Lan Shi Jin to help with the sewing, but unexpectedly, Leng Yue Ning took the initiative and her craftsmanship seemed quite good.

He originally wanted to throw away the gloves, but inadvertently saw a small moon character sewn on them.

He smiled and put them into his storage bag.

He took out a Returning Yuan Pill and swallowed it.

Xu Mu held the sword in his left hand and quickly skinned the green wolf, dividing the body into pieces and storing them all in his storage bag.

The Foundation Building stage demonic beast is full of treasures. As a thrifty person, how could Xu Mu waste any of it?

After dividing the corpse, Xu Mu kept a piece and used Fire Control Technique to roast it.

He didn't add any seasoning and immediately started eating after it was cooked.

The meat of the green wolf was very chewy, almost like rubber. But Xu Mu, whose teeth had already grown, had astonishing chewing power. Not to mention rubber, he could even bite through iron.

As the beast meat entered his stomach, it immediately turned into a surging hot flow, rushing towards his whole body, just like consuming a miraculous pill.

"It truly is the meat of a Foundation Building stage demonic beast!" Xu Mu exclaimed.

Compared to the meat of a third-rank demonic beast, it was more than ten times better.

Feeling the surging energy within his body, Xu Mu didn't hesitate and immediately started adding points to Thunder Sword Technique.

With the improvement of Thunder Sword Technique, the fractures in his right arm healed.

Finally, when Thunder Sword Technique reached Grandmaster; 20/3200, he stopped.

Taking out a Seeking Rest Symbol, he activated it, turning it into a ray of light that rolled up a wisp of Qi and flew towards a distant place. He leaped forward, chasing after the Qi.

When cutting grass, one must remove the roots. He didn't want to be targeted by another green wolf.

He didn't mind himself, but it wouldn't be good if his wife and children were injured.

The light formed by the Seeking Rest Symbol finally stopped in front of a cave and dissipated into specks of light, disappearing.

The sharp perception brought by Blood Exchange made him aware of the green wolf's aura in the cave.

"Hmm? What is this feeling?"

In addition to the green wolf's aura, Xu Mu also felt a cool sensation.

It was like...

"Spiritual energy?"

The aura emanating from the cave made him feel as if he was in a Spirit Gathering Array.

"Could this be a spiritual vein?"

Demonic beasts wouldn't set up formations. To have such dense spiritual energy, there was only one explanation: there was a spiritual vein hidden here.

"It truly is a Foundation Building stage demonic beast. It really knows how to choose a place!"

Even Xu Mu was a little envious.

Living on a spiritual vein was equivalent to staying in a Spirit Gathering Array at all times. As long as there was no major destruction, not only would the spiritual vein not dry up, but it would also continue to grow. It was definitely an excellent place to establish a family.

"Unfortunately, this place is too remote. Otherwise, it would be a great place for seclusion!"

Judging from the density of the spiritual energy, this was only a miniature spiritual vein, not worth him staying for.

Xu Mu formed hand seals, condensing several fire shields that surrounded him. Then he cast a protective spell and activated a defensive magic tool before cautiously entering.

The cave was not deep. After walking a few steps and turning a corner, he saw the whole scene inside.

Lying on the ground covered in reeds were six young wolves with green-gray fur, each about the size of a wild dog.

Next to the reeds were piles of white bones, forming small mountains.

The cave was filled with spiritual energy, refreshing and comfortable, without any foul smell.

"Awu awu!"

Upon seeing Xu Mu enter, the six little wolves immediately stood up from the reeds, dropping the bones in their mouths, and growled at him with bared teeth.

"I didn't expect it to be a whole litter!"

Xu Mu grinned, showing no mercy. The sword in his hand flickered with light, and all six young wolves, comparable to first-order demonic beasts, were killed.

After collecting the bodies, he looked around and unexpectedly found several storage bags, not knowing who they belonged to.

Other than these, there was nothing else of value.

Feeling somewhat regretful, Xu Mu was about to leave.

From the pile of bones, a faint "chirp" sound suddenly came.

Xu Mu raised his hand and summoned a fire dragon, blasting away the pile of bones.

A young wolf covered in dirt and as thin as a skeleton appeared.

This young wolf not only had poor development, but was also half the size of the other young wolves. Its fur was rare white, and its eyes were strangely red.

"A mutated demonic beast?"

Xu Mu frowned.

Among the demonic beast races, occasionally there would be some peculiar mutations, some of which might have strong power, while others were born with defects.

These mutated individuals, due to their different appearance, often faced rejection from their clans and found it difficult to grow up.

The one before him was obviously also rejected, directly buried under the bones, and was on the verge of starving to death, with such weak aura that even Xu Mu didn't notice it.

Xu Mu lifted his long sword, intending to deal with it, but suddenly thought of Xiaoling.

The little girl was very fond of small animals and would chase after Ouyang Ying's Flame Mouse every day. Perhaps she would like this cub if he brought it back.

Xu Mu extended his finger to the white wolf's mouth.

The white wolf weakly glanced at him, not showing the fierce expression like the other young wolves, but instead extended its pink little tongue to lick his finger.

"It seems you're very clever!"

A smile appeared on Xu Mu's face.

If this guy dared to bite him, he would definitely not spare it.

Being so docile, there was a good chance of taming it.

If he obtained the Beast Taming Technique in the future, he might be able to train it into a tamed beast.

Xu Mu lifted the white wolf, stuffed a Qi Gathering Pill into its mouth, and then took out a clean cloth to pat its body, helping it clean off the dirt.

The clean white wolf, aside from being too weak, had white fur all over and looked quite cute.

"Woo woo!"

After eating the Qi Gathering Pill, the white wolf regained some energy and made a soft whimpering sound. It rubbed its head against Xu Mu's arm, showing affection.

"Not bad! Not bad! Xiaoling should like it!"

Xu Mu laughed heartily and carried the white wolf out of the cave.

He searched around nearby but couldn't find the other green wolf, so he could only return with the white wolf first.

He was worried that they had been out for too long and something might have happened to the others.
