Chapter 573: Chapter 227: Poisonous Snake Bite, Reduced to White Bones

”However, even if the poisonous snake village massacre occurs now, I am fully confident I can get through it,” Xu Ran said confidently.

Just like that, Xu Ran stayed in the pot until nightfall, when he finally woke up.

Xu Binghu and Lian Ji, who had been staying by Xu Ran’s side, immediately picked him up when they saw their son awaken.

”Little Ran, you finally woke up!” Lian Ji said with excitement.

”Little Ran, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort in your body?” Xu Binghu asked.

Xu Ran waved his hands and said, ”I’m fine, just feel a lot stronger all over.”

Xu Binghu hurriedly asked, ”How much stronger?”

After pondering for a moment, Xu Ran said, ”About 1000 pounds!”

”1000 pounds!!!” Xu Binghu exclaimed in surprise.

”Yes, 1000 pounds!” Xu Ran confirmed.

”Strength that can be unleashed with a mere movement,” Xu Ran thought to himself.

”Quick! Little Ran, punch me so I can feel it!” Xu Binghu said excitedly.

He was, of course, excited.

It took him two rounds of body refining to reach 1000 pounds, but Xu Ran could achieve that level in just one round, proving his infinite potential!

”Dad, are you sure?” Xu Ran asked.

”Little Ran, just fulfill your dad’s wish!” Lian Ji interjected.

Xu Binghu nodded, full of anticipation.

”Alright then!”

With that, Xu Ran sank his breath into his Dantian. Moments later, he opened his eyes abruptly, a chilling sharpness like a blade flashing in them, and with a strong leap, he charged forward.

His speed was as swift as if he was treading on a whirlwind, the wind howling like a short whistle.

In an instant, Xu Ran was in front of Xu Binghu, throwing a punch.

Xu Binghu reacted quickly, crossing his hands in front of his chest. The fierce punch’s wind left a blood mark on his face.

”Bang--”

At the moment of contact, Xu Binghu was pushed back several steps.

After a while, he reacted, shaking his head, ”Little Ran, your 1000-pound force is very full-bodied!”

Being a hunter, Xu Binghu knew full well that if a person can unleash all their strength, they are invincible against others of the same level.

Clearly, Xu Ran had achieved this at not even one year old.

His own strength had reached 1000 pounds for two months, during which he hunted in the Great Mountain daily, battling prey and demon beasts. Even then, showing 700 pounds of strength in actual combat was already excellent.

But Xu Ran, right after achieving 1000 pounds, could demonstrate all 1000 pounds in combat.

Such comprehension ability is truly terrifying!

”Haha! Perhaps this is what they call talent!” Xu Ran laughed.

Xu Binghu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, ”Exactly, this is talent! Little Ran was born with the falling star, exceptional talent, capable of accomplishing what others can’t, it’s very natural!”

”Everyone in the village knows that Little Ran is a genius,” Lian Ji agreed from the side.

...

Quickly, another two months passed.

That day, Xu Ran was meditating in the courtyard.

”Screech--” came the sound from the sky, and soon it landed in front of Xu Ran.

”Oh! Xiao Bai, you’ve reached Qi Refining Realm!”

After body refining comes the Qi Refining Realm, no different between humans and demon beasts.

Then, Xiao Bai put down a few red Vermilion Fruits from its beak, just like the ones brought back before.

”Xiao Bai, is this what you collected during the month you didn’t come home?”

Xiao Bai held its head high, waiting for its master’s praise.

During these two months, Xiao Bai, on the outskirts of the Great Mountain, could be considered the king of the mountain.

Almost all demon beasts had been cleared out by Xiao Bai, especially the Tiger Demons. Within a hundred miles, there was almost no trace of Tiger Demons.

It seems that when I rescued it from the tiger’s territory, even though it hadn’t hatched, it had subconsciously regarded all tigers as its enemies.

So, even if Xiao Bai stayed away for a month, they weren’t worried at all.

Knowing it was at fault, Xiao Bai nudged its head against Xu Ran’s shoulder, acting coy.

”Are you saying you stayed away for a month to prepare a birthday gift for me?” Xu Ran understood its meaning.

Xiao Bai nodded.

Indeed!

Today is my first birthday, no wonder dad didn’t go hunting when I woke up, and mom was sneaking around in the kitchen, busy with something, turns out it was this.

However, for others, a first birthday might be a good thing, but for me, it’s mixed feelings.

Because my first calamity, the poisonous snake village massacre is coming!

If not handled well, it could mean the loss of the entire village’s lives.

Before Xu Ran could say more, a voice sounded in his mind.

[At the arrival of age one, the first calamity of life is impending---the poisonous snake village massacre.]

Under the scorching summer sun, sweating like rain.

Old Zhao held a hoe, bent over, inserting seedlings into the paddy field.

With each seedling he planted, his heart grew a bit more joyful.

After two more minutes, Old Zhao straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked to the field ridge to rest and drink water.

”Sigh~ I’m old, can’t work like before,” Old Zhao muttered to himself, ”It’s been so long, and I haven’t even planted a third of the seedlings.”

Speaking of which, he looked at the distant Great Mountain with a trace of envy in his eyes, ”If only our Stone Village were near the mountain, we wouldn’t have to be farmers generation after generation.”

Stone Village is a hundred miles from the Great Wilderness Border Village, but the only route similar to the mountain is a natural barrier. To enter the mountain to hunt and return takes tens of days.
