Having obtained Xiao Hei, Wu You felt a little relieved. Although he hadn't tested Xiao Hei's combat power yet, it shouldn't be too bad.
That's enough for self-defense.
Moreover, there was that scene at dinner just now.
Thinking of this, Wu You subconsciously clenched his fists, making a series of cracking sounds.
Is it because of a system upgrade? Or is it some kind of supernatural power from demons and gods?
Lying in bed thinking, a wave of drowsiness washed over me, and without resisting, I fell asleep.
Get some rest today, and you'll receive your assignment first thing tomorrow morning.
At 6 p.m., Zhang Guihua brought upstairs a plate of fruit and reminded him to eat.
Garuru was lying on the sofa outside Wu You's room. Even without opening her eyes, she knew it was Wu You's mother.
When Zhang Guihua opened Wu You's room door, she found her son asleep in bed.
"This child is so old and still causes so much worry."
She gently placed the fruit plate on the computer desk, then went to the bedside and covered Wu You with a blanket.
Even though it's summer, it's easy to catch a cold in an air-conditioned room if you don't cover yourself up.
...
At 6 a.m., Wu You opened his eyes and found that he was covered with a blanket.
I glanced at the untouched plate of fruit and the large bowl filled with rice, vegetables, and chicken on my computer desk; my mother must have been here.
I glanced at the clock by my bedside and realized it was already morning; I had slept for a full ten hours.
Now that I've woken up, I feel incredibly refreshed. The slight drowsiness I had due to overusing the demon god's power has completely disappeared.
After lifting the covers, brushing my teeth and washing my face, I went to the bedside to tidy up my gear.
Once everything was ready, they didn't mind the leftover rice and dishes, and ate them all up with fruit.
Finally, I changed into a windproof jacket and hiking/wading shoes, and put on a backpack.
Open the system.
Accept the quest: Four Realms (Part 1)
Confirm receipt.
Then the map of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain automatically appeared.
A huge 3D real-world map appeared in my mind, and all the places I had previously explored were now visible.
Among the four irregular boundaries at the edge of the vast fog, the rightmost boundary is emitting a hazy light, and the map beyond that boundary can already be dragged.
But its area seems to be even larger than that of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
At that hazy boundary, a point of light is twinkling.
Wu You discovered that this point of light could be used for teleportation.
This gave him a slight sense of relief.
I was initially worried that I would have to travel an unknown distance from the already explored areas to reach the border.
Given the current area of the fog over Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and the tiny visible portion that I've discovered, this timeframe is estimated to be unacceptably long.
It now appears that we can teleport directly to the vicinity of the border.
Select the location of the light spot.
With a flash of black light, Wu You disappeared from the room.
...
In a flash.
Wu You appeared on a rock, with a starry sky above him and a silent wilderness all around.
This was Wu You's first time entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain directly at night.
The summoned Black appeared in a stream of black light.
He tightened his grip on the sword, but stuffed the machete into his bag. What could he do? The sword was longer and made him feel safer than the machete.
They led Xiao Hei towards the border not far ahead.
Upon closer inspection, the experience was quite unique, as if the aurora borealis had descended from the sky and transformed into a fence, its ever-changing and exceptionally beautiful appearance.
Reach out your arm and touch it.
It just felt cool and refreshing, like a gentle flow of water.
Without much hesitation, Wu You led Xiao Hei directly into the Boundary Light.
...
After a brief moment of weightlessness, Wu You suddenly appeared in a new place.
System notification: You have entered the Eastern Realm.
The system's information was easy to understand, but the way he accessed it made Wu You feel something was off.
This teleportation doesn't feel like crossing a boundary; it feels more like returning to Earth from the Beast Mountain.
Little Black kept sniffing around on the ground.
Wu You looked up and glanced around.
A look of surprise appeared on his face.
Although it was nighttime, the moonlight made it clear that as far as the eye could see, there were layers upon layers of mountains.
He was on the summit of a majestic mountain.
There was no longer any Boundary Light of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain around.
It felt like stepping into a completely unfamiliar new world.
Is this the Eastern Realm?
So how do we know when we've established a firm foothold?
Obviously, wilderness survival doesn't count.
...
But soon, Wu You temporarily put his worries aside.
The mountain scenery before us is truly magnificent.
Shiniu Mountain is nowhere near comparable.
Although Wu You had never climbed Mount Tai, he was already aware of the perilous nature of the mountain he was currently on.
The grandeur of overlooking all the mountains amidst towering peaks.
Its grandeur is absolutely no less than that of the summit of Mount Tai.
As if he had just thought of something, he opened the system and saw that he still couldn't summon creatures of bronze level or higher, but the option for the power of the demon god was actually lit up.
It was unusable just now in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
"Hahahaha..." Wu You couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Having the power of the demon god in hand gave him the illusion that he was fearless. Even though it was only a part of the power of a silver-level creature, it was still incredibly powerful that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
Standing atop the mountain, one's mind opens up and expands. A strong but not fierce mountain wind blows, making Wu You's windbreaker flutter.
This scene makes one want to burst into song.
Looking at the fine steel Longquan sword in his hand, the melody of Farewell My Concubine welled up in Wu You's heart.
But that song required a very strong momentum, and he didn't want to waste this rare mountain scenery and his enthusiasm.
Usage permissions: Demon God's Power.
Select Ability Medium: Thunderous Azure Dragon Ao Guang.
In an instant, Wu You's aura changed, and a confident force that seemed capable of uprooting mountains appeared in his heart.
Singing without using powerful abilities consumes very little mental energy.
I calmed myself down and took a deep breath.
Gazing at the majestic, precipitous peaks before me, a song immediately springs to mind.
The sound was like a thunderclap as soon as it came out.
...
"I'm standing here!"
"In the fierce wind!"
"I wish I could wash away all this lingering heartache."
"Look to the heavens!"
"Clouds are moving in all directions!"
"Sword in hand!"
Who in this world is a hero?
...
The powerful song resounded in all directions, startling countless birds that were roosting there at night.
...
Amidst the clouds and mountains, a hunched old man in a gray robe carried a boy of about seven or eight years old under his arm.
They were fleeing rapidly into the night.
With each step, it lunges forward several meters.
But every ten or so steps he would cough twice, and when it was severe, you could even see specks of blood foam.
The boy under the armpit remained silent despite the excruciating pain, looking at the old man with a worried expression.
Sudden.
A whooshing sound came from behind the curtain.
The old man stepped on the stone in front of him and used it for leverage, his whole body, along with the child under his arm, spun and flew several meters to the right.
"Ding ding ding..."
Three steel nails struck a stone on the ground in the direction the old man had just walked.
A 3-inch steel nail penetrated two inches into the stone.
