Creation of the Universe

Shen Zhan nodded, but didn't agree.

He immediately decided to stay at Qiyun's place for one night and then set off into the bloody wilderness tomorrow. Now, only there could he find peace and quiet.

Qi Yun and Xiao Gu had no choice. Their cultivation was not high and they were no match for Shen Zhan at all. What's more, there was a scary spirit beast beside Shen Zhan that could kill people by spitting fire.

That night, Shen Zhan asked them for more food. Qi Yun scratched his head and admitted that they didn't have much food stored. In fact, they had already taken out the best of the delicious food for Shen Zhan to enjoy in the previous meal.

Xiao Gu also said: "It's true, we usually just eat some cakes, steamed buns and the like."

"Since the conditions here are so harsh, why don't you move back to a more down-to-earth place? You can find a city anywhere. It's definitely more comfortable than here."

Xiao Gu said, "We've both been independent since childhood. To be honest, we're not used to getting along with others. People might even think we're freaks."

"That's right. People like us can only live in isolation. Although our life is a little hard now, we are happy and free. Besides, we don't have any relatives in the world, so we have no worries."

"But if you keep killing and robbing people like this, sooner or later you'll run into someone like me. Just because I didn't kill you today doesn't mean others won't do the same."

Shen Zhan said in a deep voice.

Qi Yun and Xiao Gu lowered their heads silently. They only hoped that Madam Hongying would let them go, otherwise they would have to continue to follow her wishes, just like if you live on someone else's land, you have to pay rent.

Working for Madam Hongying was the prerequisite for both of them to live here.

Shen Zhan said, "I'd really like to meet Madam Hongying if I get a chance. Where is she in the Bloody Wilderness?"

Qi Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. With my level of cultivation, I'd die within an hour if I entered the Bloody Wilderness. Besides, Madam Hongying is an extremely dangerous person. No one wants to see her."

"The demon race? Interesting."

A memory from his previous life began to flow in Shen Zhan's mind at this moment.

Qi Yun and the others had no food to eat, so Shen Zhan had to find a way on his own. He learned that there was a river nearby, so he took Xiaoguo out.

"Brother, should we tell him that the fish in that river...are not right."

Xiao Gu muttered softly.

"Why are you being so kind? Doesn't he think he's pretty powerful? Then let him experience what the Bloody Wilderness is all about."

"That river leads directly to the depths of the bloody wilderness. It's dry during the day, but at night it flows, and from time to time, some strange things are washed out... Isn't that interesting?"

Qi Yun looked straight in the direction where Shen Zhan left, with deep meaning in his eyes.

Shen Zhan didn't hear what Qi Yun said. He just wanted to prepare enough food before entering the Bloody Wilderness. Otherwise, if he was unprepared, he would probably have a hard time.

About an hour later, Qi Yun put his legs on the table and drank leisurely.

Xiao Gu asked him, "Will that person come back?"

"I don't know, but it's been so long, it's normal that he can't come back. Who knows what he encountered in the river, that would be a shame. I originally thought he was a pretty good person."

There was a hint of gloating in Qi Yun's words.

This time, Xiao Gu sang a different tune, "No, no, I think he is very powerful. So many people have fallen victim to the Soul-Drunken Pill before, but he is fine. It shows that he is very capable.

Brother, if he really brought back a lot of food, would you be willing to share some with us?"

Qi Yun said angrily, "Can you be more capable? Do we still have to beg him? We tried to take over that river before, but what happened in the end? Have you forgotten?"

Xiao Gu would never forget that they went to the river to cast a net to catch fish, but suddenly a giant scarlet python emerged from the bottom of the water, scaring the two of them so much that they ran for their lives. Only then did they survive.

I really don't want to experience this a second time.

When the two were arguing about whether Shen Zhan could come back, footsteps were heard not far away.

They turned their heads and saw Shen Zhan walking back with a dozen fresh fish in his hands, looking calm. The little beast following behind him also had a few fresh fish in its mouth. Looking at its lively appearance, it must have had a full meal before coming.

"Sir, you...didn't encounter anything in that river? I was so worried just now."

Qi Yun came closer in a pretentious manner, his eyes never leaving the fresh fish.

"If you're talking about the giant python that suddenly jumped out of the river, I've already skinned it, tore out its tendons, and dumped it by the riverbank. Xiao Guo has swallowed its gallbladder."

Qi Yun and Xiao Gu were stunned.

"I'm going to keep some of these fish to take to the Bloody Wilderness, and you can deal with the rest as you please."

After saying this, Shen Zhan found a quiet corner and closed his eyes to rest.

Most of the bamboo shed was burned down by Xiaoguo's fire during the day. Not only is it leaking air from all sides, but it also makes a creaking sound when the wind blows. It feels like it will collapse completely at any time.

The corner Shen Zhan found was better able to shelter from the wind, and it was a place that could barely make do, better than sleeping in the wilderness.

"What a plump fish! I've been craving it for a long time. In the past, we had to work very hard to get fish from that river, and we had to be careful not to disturb the giant python."

"Now that the python is dead, I can just go get whatever I want to eat, hehe..."

Xiao Gu hung up a few fresh fishes, and his mouth was almost watering with greed.

Qi Yun remained silent, curious about Shen Zhan's identity.

"This guy keeps saying he's going to the Bloody Wasteland. What exactly is he doing, and what is he going there for?"

Xiao Gu said, "Who cares? He's a good guy anyway. I hope he doesn't die in there so soon."

"Humph, you've been bribed by a few fish. You're useless!"

The two bickered for a while, then each went to find a place to rest. They had lived in the shed for so many years, and they were used to it being broken and repaired, so they were no longer surprised.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the three of them gradually fell asleep. Shen Zhan hadn't slept well for several nights because he had been hunted down one after another. Tonight was a rare opportunity for him to rest properly.

Xiaoguo curled up, snuggled up at Shen Zhan's feet, and started snoring.

At this moment, none of them noticed that a blood moon suddenly appeared in the distant night sky, looking extremely terrifying in the strangely surging dark clouds.
