After consuming the Blood Spirit Flower, Chen Ke's bones and tendons were broken inch by inch, causing him to faint several times from the pain. The system was terrified and kept asking him if he wanted to extract his soul to reduce the pain, but what Chen Ke wanted was to solidify his soul amidst extreme pain.
His constant travels allowed him to experience the emotions and desires of different people, but these complex emotions would cause some damage to his soul. Only by making his soul stronger could he resist the influence of these emotions and remain true to himself.
Forging sacred bones is a painful and arduous process. The broken tendons and bones undergo transformation under the influence of the Blood Spirit Flower, constantly connecting and fusing to become a complete skeleton again.
This process lasted for a day and a night. The tribespeople in the middle of the village were worried about Chen Ke and came to check on him again and again. Each time they had to make sure that Chen Ke was still breathing before they could feel at ease.
Yan Ying Wang had been nagging Chen Ke to fry some worms for him, but when he saw Chen Ke looking like a blood-soaked gourd, he quietly quieted down. While busy eating, he would pick pretty flowers for Chen Ke and put them on the grass in front of the stone pot.
Chen Ke finally endured the grueling forging process. When he finally opened his eyes, he saw a bunch of flowers scattered on the grass, almost forming a pile. Just as he was wondering who had put them there, the Flame Eagle King flew back, carrying a brightly colored flower in its beak…
Chen Ke looked helpless. If he didn't know Yan Ying Wang's purpose, he would have thought that Yan Ying Wang was already eagerly preparing to visit his grave.
The Flame Eagle King dropped the flower from its mouth and eagerly flew down, asking, "You're awake?"
Chen Ke nodded with a very slight gesture.
The Flame Eagle King circled around Chen Ke once, "Hmm, something feels different."
Chen Ke grabbed a piece of animal skin skirt and wrapped it around himself as he stood up from the soup pot. Yan Ying Wang stared wide-eyed at Chen Ke, pulling his gaze up from his calves. "My god! How did you suddenly grow so much taller?"
Chen Ke stretched his body, stepped onto the edge of the stone pot, and jumped down to feel the changes in his body. Chen Ke was very satisfied; he had now at least reached the average height level.
"How did you do that? Don't two-legged creatures stay the same size after they reach adulthood?"
Chen Ke initially wanted to say it was because of the flowers you brought back, but then changed his mind and said, "What you've seen in the human world is just the tip of the iceberg. They have many amazing things, each of which might surprise you."
King Flame Eagle didn't believe it. "You only have two or three tribes. I can see them all at a glance. What's so surprising?"
Chen Ke: "...Have you ever heard of the world beyond the Goddess River?"
Flame Eagle King: "I've heard a little bit about it."
"The human world over there is about the same size as our entire wild continent, and it's densely populated with people. They make all sorts of things, tall and beautiful houses, and colorful clothes—"
Yan Yingwang interrupted Chen Ke, "Those are all just legends, don't believe them."
Chen Ke: ""
"Didn't you say you wanted to eat fried crickets? Have you caught them? I'll fry them for you first." Let you experience the power of delicious food first, then I'm sure you'll come along.
The women and children in the tribe were stunned by the tremendous changes in Chen Ke before they could even rejoice that he had finished his cultivation.
"There really is such a magical flower?"
"My goodness, Chief Buko has grown so much taller!"
"That's amazing!"
"Leader! Has the leader successfully completed the cultivation?" At this moment, a soldier ran back from a distance, looking at Chen Ke with shining eyes.
Chen Ke generously showed it to the soldiers.
Seeing Chen Ke suddenly grow taller and his bones become much stronger, the soldiers were surprised and envious. "Wow! Chief, have you broken through to the third realm?"
Chen Ke didn't say anything, but instead stomped his foot with all his might.
With a muffled "bang!", the land shattered into a spiderweb pattern centered on Chen Ke.
!!
"Ah! It's cracked!"
"The ground has cracked!"
The tribespeople were terrified and retreated!
The soldiers stared at Chen Ke in disbelief.
—After a moment of silence.
Wow! That's amazing!
"Chief, you're amazing!"
"Wow! With such a powerful leader, we're no longer afraid of anyone!"
"Chief, can we do this again in the future?" the soldiers asked Chen Keyu excitedly.
"Yes, Chief, when will we have such power?"
Chen Ke smiled and said, "Don't rush it. Cultivation can't be rushed. Take it one step at a time. You can all do it."
The tribesmen, who had previously been unaware of what the warriors were cultivating, were once again astonished: "All the warriors can be as powerful as you, Chief? Then we'll have forty... no, we'll have over seventy warriors that powerful?"
"Gasp!" The tribesmen gasped, their minds flashing back to the seventy-odd powerful warriors who had stamped their feet in unison...
"Hiss!" Wouldn't that cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split, shaking all directions?
Thinking of this, the tribesmen were overjoyed and their eyes turned red. They would no longer starve to death because they couldn't hunt, nor would they have to run away at the sight of wild bulls. They had the ability to live comfortably on this continent!
The newly joined warriors of the Xiongqi tribe could not hide their excitement. If they were even stronger, they would be one step closer to avenging their great grudge! Joining the Youqi tribe was indeed the best decision they had ever made!
Only the Flame Eagle King's expression showed no excitement or joy, but rather some frustration. His eyes swept over the cracked ground, and he silently swallowed the words he was about to say to urge Chen Ke to fry the worms.
However, Chen Ke did not forget his promise to the Flame Eagle King. After the tribesmen calmed down, he asked them to set up a stone pot to prepare to fry the Flame Eagle King's worms.
Since it was almost dinner time, the soldiers brought out the deer they had hunted the day before, preparing to kill and roast the venison.
The sharpened stone axe was raised and lowered, and warm deer blood immediately sprayed out. The women hurriedly took stone bowls to catch it, as it was a highly nutritious substance and should not be wasted.
The soldiers skinned and butchered the venison with great efficiency. Thanks to Chen Ke, the women learned to marinate the venison with fragrant herbs before roasting it, and then rub it with coarse salt extracted from the rocks. The roasted venison was incredibly fragrant!
Days passed by like this, and the people of the Youqi tribe had never felt so comfortable. They didn't have to worry about the warriors not being able to hunt, nor did they have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts at any time.
The elderly could bask in the sun in front of the flat cave, children could play in the grass not far away, and the women's biggest task was to sew animal skins and pick the herbs that Chen Ke needed.
Everyone in the tribe has visibly gained weight, and what's even more exciting is that eight women are pregnant. Presumably, when they return to the Wild Forest tribe in the spring, new lives will be born.
