"Roar!!"
Amid the threatening low roar, Du ke opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, the first thing Du ke did was slap the dog beside him.
Barking so early in the morning!
But very quickly, the stench was blown into the tree hollow by the cold wind.
When Du ke smelled this stench, he woke up immediately.
Looking back, he saw a fuzzy big face blocking the gap of the tree hollow, with a pair of brown eyes staring dimly at them.
The low roar came from the throat of Husky. Husky's fur stood on end, tucking his tail between his legs, and was barking ferociously at the beast outside.
Seeing the situation, Du ke gasped in shock and quickly moved his body away from the gap in the tree hollow.
Seeing Du ke move, the fuzzy beast face immediately left, then a sturdy paw was inserted in from outside.
This paw was wide and plump. The back was covered with thick brown fur, while the front was thick pads, and there were five sharp claws.
Seeing this paw, Du ke immediately knew what was outside.
This was actually a bear!
"How come this thing is still attracted when I already cleaned the fresh blood of that badger yesterday?"
Du ke was puzzled and shocked, sticking to the innermost side of the tree hollow.
Now he and Husky were a weak and disabled combination, Husky was weak, and he was disabled.
Put together, they were not even enough for the bear to slap.
If he was in his prime, Du ke could still compete with this bear with his supernatural ability, and then kill it.
But now Du ke was still seriously injured, and little Husky was also a puppy just over a month old.
How could the weak and disabled combination fight a bear?
The bear paw crept into the tree hollow, stirring up dust while waving past Du ke and Husky's fur.
Seeing this scene, Du ke's heart calmed down a little.
The limbs of the bear were short and thick. The narrow opening of the tree hollow blocked it and bought time for Du ke.
"Roar!"
Seeing that he couldn't catch Du ke and little Husky by reaching in with his paw, the bear outside immediately let out an angry roar.
Even in the tree hollow, Du ke's ears ached from the roar.
"This bear should be a vicious and cunning old beast that has lived for many years and is extremely patient. It won't stop until it catches either me or Husky."
Du ke's eyes flickered. The bear outside also lied down again, with its big face blocking the entrance of the tree hollow, staring dimly at Du ke and Husky inside the tree hollow.
Noticing the opponent's eyes, Du ke felt bitter in his heart. It's said that bears, bears!
Why does this bear seem not that bad?
After looking at Du ke and Husky for a while, the bear retracted its head again. Before Du ke could figure out what the bear was thinking, a tremor suddenly attacked him and Husky.
Boom!
With just a muffled sound, Du ke's face changed drastically.
This bear was hitting the tree outside, trying to knock down the tree and then catch them.
"This damn bear is also too smart!"
Du ke couldn't help but click his tongue. His mind sank into the dark cauldron space and looked at the blood vitality pill, wanting to repeat the trick from last night.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
Last night, that badger was already seriously injured, and its size was much smaller than this bear. It was no wonder that one or two refined blood vitality pills could make that badger explode.
But what about this bear?
Although Du ke didn't know much about bears, the average weight of bears can reach three to four hundred catties, and standing upright they are over two meters tall.
Such a fierce beast, one blood vitality pill may be able to shock its pulse and damage its pulse.
But wanting to use one blood vitality pill to explode it, that's wishful thinking.
Especially since this bear showed considerable intelligence and was an old beast in the mountains.
Whether animal or human, the older one gets, the more cunning they become.
It would be difficult to use the blood vitality pill to explode the opponent.
Thinking of this, Du ke began to ponder other countermeasures.
His eyes swept over various pills and books in the dark cauldron space, and finally fell on the clear water pill that had provided water for him and little Husky many times.
Seeing this pill, Du ke couldn't help but think that the dark cauldron could refine anything in the world, and it could also be refined twice.
So, could two different substances be refined into one?
Thinking of this, some bizarre events from his previous life suddenly flashed through Du ke's mind.
"Maybe this can work!"
Du ke murmured to himself, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
"Meow!"
With a call, Du ke slapped little Husky to make him stick to the inner wall of the tree hollow. He himself lay prone on the ground, his figure disappearing into nothingness.
Du ke activated his supernatural ability and slowly crawled along the ground toward the hole with his injuries, although serious, after last night's recovery, he could move briefly.
The bear outside was still hitting the tree. Du ke also slowly approached the entrance of the tree hollow.
The cold wind poured backward into the hole. Although his figure had disappeared, the cold wind still blew solidly on Du ke, making him shiver.
Enduring the cold wind, Du ke's mind sank into the dark cauldron space, taking the cold wind blowing on him as the target and bringing it into the dark cauldron space.
In the dark cauldron space, vortexes appeared out of thin air, and as time went by, the vortexes grew larger and larger.
While observing the expansion of the vortex in the dark cauldron space, Du ke also paid attention to the bear's movements outside.
Time passed second by second. When the vortex in the dark cauldron space expanded to its limit, Du ke also quietly retreated and left a blood vitality pill at the entrance of the hole.
As soon as Du ke put down the blood vitality pill, the bear outside stopped hitting the tree, crawled down, and scraped away the blood vitality pill and swallowed it.
"Roar!"
When Du ke had just retreated to the inner wall, he heard the bear outside let out a roar of delight.
Obviously, the blood vitality pill was quite beneficial to it.
The bear was not satisfied with just one blood vitality pill. It continued to crawl down and peered into the tree hollow, and there was now greed in its brown eyes.
Obviously, this bear really liked the blood vitality pill.
Seeing this scene, Du ke also threw out another blood vitality pill. As soon as the blood vitality pill landed at the entrance, the bear scooped it away and swallowed it.
After swallowing three blood vitality pills, the bear lay directly at the entrance of the tree hollow, blocking the cold wind from coming in from outside, and began to snore loudly.
Obviously, three blood vitality pills had already satisfied its needs.
As for blocking the entrance of this tree hollow...
"Think you've got me cornered?"
Du ke sneered. The dark cauldron also shook, and a pill the size of a dragon's eye flew out of the dark cauldron.
This pill was translucent, with only the outline visible, and there was restless airflow disturbance and rotation inside.
"Next time, next time will be your death!"
Du ke looked at the bear blocking the entrance and silently put the just refined wind pill back into the dark cauldron, along with several blood vitality pills.
The blood and flesh pills refined from that badger were only five pills, one pill per day, and he and little Husky could only last three days at most.
But this bear, it should weigh a few hundred catties, so it could refine dozens of blood and flesh pills.
"Everything just waits for this bear to wake up."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
