Chapter 83

This is a wondrous feeling; Xiaobudian's body is light and agile, but even the slightest movement can generate explosive power, making him feel as if he is about to fly.

Three "cavern heavens" resembling volcanoes emit a surging essence, with "lava" flowing downward and merging into Xiaobudian's body, invigorating him and keeping him in a state of peak vitality.

A roar echoed through the mountains, and a massive creature appeared, stretching nearly thirty meters long, with silver fur that shone like silk. It had a pair of qilin horns on its head, eyes as large as basins, and a blood-red, icy gaze. Its shape resembled a white tiger, but it had a pair of qilin horns and dozens of bone spines on its back, each a丈 long and as white and crystalline as a spear.

This was a true ferocious beast, knowledgeable in the secrets of runes, dominating the mountain range. It had killed countless other ferocious beasts to secure its position as the ruler. The loud noise startled it, and it felt its dignity was being violated, so it came to kill.

In the past, Xiaobudian would have chosen to flee immediately, but now he was not afraid. He stood calmly on a green stone, his large eyes clear, quietly observing the beast.

Initially, the ferocious beast was filled with killing intent, but after a moment of confrontation, it suddenly let out a roar and turned to flee, smashing a massive stone weighing tens of thousands of pounds into powder with a single claw. Then, it leaped up, its body glowing with a rosy light, like a silver chi dragon, crossing the mountain. It was furious, and with a single breath, it spewed white light, leveling the entire forest, before disappearing into the depths of the mountains.

Several small black dots appeared in the distance, and a few fierce birds emerged, their bodies covered in runes, emitting a blinding light. A powerful aura pressed down, making all the beasts tremble in fear, an extremely terrifying sight.

They were filled with killing intent, ready to swoop down at any moment.

Xiaobudian looked up, his eyes shooting out two beams of astonishing light, with runes forming at the bottom of his eyes, a formidable presence.

The fierce birds let out long cries, flapping their wings and ascending into the clouds. They were both surprised and angry, and even a bit fearful. After a brief stay, they quickly flew away, disappearing into the horizon.

The few powerful beings at the top of the food chain in the nearby mountains did not dare to challenge Xiaobudian and all retreated.

Shi Hao did not even need to act to scare off the few terrifying rulers of the mountains.

He sat down, quietly experiencing the feeling of the Cavern Heaven realm, immersing himself in it. "Lava" surged out, enveloping him, the area enveloped in a mist of light, looking incredibly mysterious.

After a full day and night, Xiaobudian finally stopped, stood up, and faced the morning sun, swallowing the morning light, feeling that he had finally fully consolidated his strength. The three volcanic craters gradually disappeared, and he took large steps toward the stone village.

"Wow, Xiaobudian is back, and he actually hunted a jiaoleopard!"

The children let out cries of surprise. Xiaobudian had brought back a giant beast, over ten meters long, with a leopard's body but a terrifying jiao head. Even in death, it still exuded a ferocious aura.

"Have you broken through, child?" the village chief asked in surprise.

Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to hunt the jiaoleopard, which was extremely powerful. Xiaobudian's easy return was enough to prove it.

"Yes!" Little Shi Hao nodded, his eyes clear and very pure. In the morning sun, his small body was very crystalline, evoking a sense of wonder. A mere child had already become a Cavern Heaven realm expert.

Many people spend their entire lives unable to reach this realm, yet he had rapidly achieved it in just a few years. Even with the strictest standards, one would be amazed.

"Xiaobudian, do you have the confidence to defeat those bandits?" A group of children ran over from the lake, surrounding him, clenching their small fists, their eyes filled with hope.

The elder had been beaten, and the scars on the faces of the fathers were still visible. This humiliation was truly infuriating and hard to swallow. Moreover, the survival of the villagers was at stake, and they might all be killed by the bandits.

"I will do my best, don't be afraid of them!" Little Shi Hao's eyes flashed with a spark.

Two days later, a rumbling sound came from the horizon, and a group of iron-clad riders charged forward, their armor gleaming, all ferocious beasts. Although there were only a few dozen, they came like a flood, exuding a wild and violent aura.

The deadline had not yet arrived, but the bandits appeared early, filled with killing intent. The large beasts had sharp fangs, blood-red mouths, and black, thick horns, looking extremely fierce.

A small group of bandits had arrived, but the main force and the spirit beast had not. Even so, the aura of death was overwhelming, causing the temperature around the stone village to drop sharply.

"Wild people, are you prepared?" A man in black armor shouted from atop a beast, pointing at the villagers with his iron whip.

The villagers did not respond, all staring at him.

"Are you mute? Why don't you speak? The deadline is in two days. If you don't have the black gold now, there's no need to wait for two days!" The leader was very aggressive, his eyes narrowing as he spoke.

"Hmm, there are fewer people, did they escape?" Another leader spoke, his face darkening, his eyes growing colder. "Without our permission, they dared to escape. Do they think they can survive this way?"

A few of the bandits smiled, their teeth white and sharp, looking very cruel. Their mounts were massive mastiffs, standing two to three meters tall and five to six meters long, with dagger-like fangs, white and terrifying.

These mastiffs, born in the vast wilderness, were fierce and sensitive, with an extremely strong sense of smell. They believed that even if the villagers left the village, they would not truly escape.

"If caught, I will make you understand what it means to be worse than dead!" A leader spoke coldly, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

"Hey, that's..." Suddenly, a bandit noticed a unicorn flashing in the village, his eyes immediately glowing with ferocity and surprise.

"It's a variant of the scaled horse, a unicorn, with a strong, silver-glowing body, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day, a very fast mount!"

"Not just one, there are so many!"

The last time, the unicorns were hidden in the nearby forests, and they did not see them. This time, they saw them clearly, and the bandits all narrowed their eyes, extremely excited and agitated.

These spirit beasts were not very powerful, but they were very fast and extremely rare.

If they rode the unicorns, they would truly be as swift as the wind, moving even more quickly, able to dominate the vast wilderness, invincible.

"Hmm, being ridden by a group of children, are they preparing to escape?" A leader stared coldly, then looked at a group of adults at the village entrance. "Bring them over and offer the unicorns."

However, no one responded. The group of adult men at the village entrance all looked at him coldly.

"Wild people, are you mute? Didn't you hear me? Bring those children over and offer the unicorns, or I will massacre this village!" Another leader threatened, wearing black armor, his eyes like knives.

He urged the beast forward, waving his whip, aiming at the faces of Shilinhu, Shifeijiao, and others. He was the one who had whipped the men's faces, causing long wounds and bleeding. This time, he was still cruel and violent, lashing out immediately, with a terrifying aura.

"Bang"

Xiaobudian stepped forward, grabbing the whip, standing in front of everyone.

"Huh..." The leader was surprised. He knew the strength of his whip, but a child had grabbed it.

With a "buzz," he lightly shook his wrist, runes spreading along the whip, but they immediately extinguished when they met Xiaobudian's hand.

"Little brat, something's strange!" He was startled and kicked down, aiming to crush Xiaobudian's face, very vicious.

Xiaobudian's eyes flashed, and he was faster, grabbing the leader's ankle and pulling him off his mount, then spinning him and slamming him to the ground.

"Ahh..." The leader screamed.

Dust rose as his head and face hit the ground, blood spewing from his nose and mouth, especially his mouth, which was a mess of blood and broken teeth.

This sudden change was shocking. The bandits did not expect this weak village to have someone who dared to resist, and especially a child. They were momentarily stunned.

The leader was both shocked and angry, his body glowing, runes intertwining, trying to break free. However, under Xiaobudian's divine power, his resistance was futile. His ankle was held by the small hand, as if in an iron ring, almost breaking.

Xiaobudian swung him like a scarecrow, slamming him to the ground again, simple and violent.

"Thud"

The sound of flesh and bone breaking echoed, and the leader screamed, this time hitting a large rock, his bones breaking in multiple places, his body battered and torn.

Xiaobudian threw him like a dead dog at the village entrance, and Shilinhu stepped forward, placing a large foot on his chest, shouting, "Aren't you arrogant?"

"Trying to whip my face, I've been holding back for a long time!" A group of men gathered, stomping down with their large feet.

"Ahh..."

"Thud"

The leader's face immediately deformed, stomped into a mushy melon.

Everything happened in an instant. The bandits were stunned. Last time, the villagers were as weak as sheep, not daring to resist. Today, even a child was so fierce, and the adults were even more insane!

"Kill!" Another leader quickly shouted, ordering the bandits to attack the villagers.

The sound of metal clashing echoed as the bandits drew their weapons and charged forward, ready to massacre the stone village.

Xiaobudian let out a loud cry, striking the few at the front. Runes spread, his palm expanding to the size of a millstone, and with a series of "bangs," the bandits were sent flying, all knocked away.

This was a shocking divine power. Everyone's bones were broken, and they were thrown so far that they could not move, unable to stand up.

And this was just a casual strike from Xiaobudian, without much effort, causing such great damage.

The
