In a huge and dense forest, a young man was standing with his special sword in his right hand.
He breathed heavily and blood splattered on some parts of his clothes. Even though he only had a little stamina left, he did not give up and focused his gaze on his opponent.
A wolf!
Yes, his opponent was an adult wolf.
Like the young man, the condition of the wolf was also bad.
Its body was filled with injuries, and blood kept dripping down from its head and stomach.
Even though the young man and the wolf were not in good condition, they had no intention of running away from their opponent.
Yes, they behaved like honorable warriors who would not run away from their opponent!
Kill or get killed!
It was what they had in mind.
After fighting for several minutes, the young man and the wolf decided who the victor would be in one move.
*Grrr….
The wolf rushed towards the young man before finally jumping and opening its mouth, trying to bite the young man.
Like the wolf, the young man also dashed towards the adult wolf before finally swinging his special sword.
*Slash…Grrr
They attacked at the same time.
“Huft…Huft…Huft…” the young man breathed heavily after attacking the wolf.
*Bruak…
The wolf fell to the ground.
The young man and the wolf turned around, looking at each other in the eyes.
After looking at the young man for about five seconds, the wolf fell to the ground, died.
“It was a good fight!” Xiao Tian said as he looked at the adult wolf.
‘I have to throw their corpses far away now.’
It would invite other predators if they saw a lot of wolf corpses, so Xiao Tian knew that he had to throw their corpses immediately.
‘But let me rest for a little bit.’
He had no stamina left, so he decided to take some rest first.
At this moment, the old man came out of his hiding place. “I didn’t expect you to be able to kill eleven wolves in that state.”
Xiao Tian turned around to look at the old man. “Elder, since when have you been here?”
“I rushed to this place after hearing a wolf howl.” The old man gave an honest answer. “I did not help you immediately because I believed you could handle it after arriving at this place.”
The old man walked towards Xiao Tian while looking at the wolf corpses.
‘It seems like that young lady did not lie when she said he was skilled in martial arts.’
The old man stopped his footsteps when he was close to Xiao Tian.
“You wait here. I will throw these corpses now.” after saying that, the old man threw the wolf corpses far from the well.
Xiao Tian immediately sat on the ground before finally leaning his back against a tree.
‘Luckily, I only have minor injuries.’
He was sure that he would be heavily injured if he did not use his secret technique.
After the old man returned from throwing the wolf corpses, they immediately headed to the backyard.
“Xiao Tian!” Crystal tried to stand up when she saw Xiao Tian’s condition.
Xiao Tian put the buckets on the ground and rushed towards her, stopping her from standing up. “I’m fine. Just sit here.”
“How did you end up like this?” Crystal asked curiously.
Xiao Tian began to tell everything. He said two wolves suddenly appeared in front of him when he was on his way to the backyard.
Because one of the wolves called its friend, nine more wolves appeared after he killed these two wolves.
Crystal then turned her head to look at the old man before finally speaking, “Elder, maybe you should make a wooden or bamboo fence because it will be dangerous if wild animals attack you in the future.”
“It’s a good idea.” Actually, the old man had wanted to do that since a few years ago, but he was too lazy to do that.
He was a martial art expert, so he was not afraid of wild beasts. He even had killed countless wild beasts since he lived in the forest.
“Elder, we will help you make a fence, but I hope you will reward us with some food later.” It was an excellent opportunity to get some food for tomorrow, so Xiao Tian did not let the opportunity slip away.
“Hehe.” Crystal giggled after hearing his words.
“Deal!” the old man agreed instantly because he had a lot of food reserves. “Alright. Your job is done for today. I’ll bring some food now.”
“Thank you, elder.” Xiao Tian and Crystal replied in unison.
They were delighted because they could finally eat again after two days of starvation. Xiao Tian and Crystal were startled when they saw the rice.
Previously, they thought they would eat some fruit or fish because they were in the forest, but they were wrong.
The old man even had glass plates, aluminum forks, and spoons. For this reason, Xiao Tian asked some questions regarding this to the old man.
However, the old man refused to answer all of his questions and told Xiao Tian to focus on his food.
“I have a lot of rice and vegetables so eat until you are full.” The old man said as he consumed his food.
“Un.” Because the old man said so, Xiao Tian and Crystal ate until they were full.
They did not eat anything for two days, so they were starving. For this reason, they ate more than usual.
The old man only smiled when he saw Xiao Tian and Crystal eating voraciously.
‘They look like they haven’t eaten anything for a month.’
Unlike Xiao Tian, the old man consumed his food slowly.
After eating, Xiao Tian helped the old man wash the dishes.
To his surprise, the old man had dish soap. Like before, the old man did not answer his question when he asked it.
‘Does he leave the forest once in a while?’
Xiao Tian suddenly thought the old man would leave the forest once in a while to buy dish soap and daily necessities.
After washing the dishes, they headed to the front yard to talk.
“Elder, why did you decide to live in the forest?” Xiao Tian asked curiously.
Xiao Tian was currently sitting on the ground with Crystal and the old man. Crystal was on his left side while the old man was on his other side.
“I just want to calm myself.” The old man replied instantly. “Even though I’m living in the forest alone, but I’m happy here.”
“Elder, do you have no intention of living in the city again?” Crystal asked curiously.
“I still want to live here for now, but I don’t know in the future.” The old man gave an honest answer.
At this moment, Xiao Tian took his medicine powder to treat his injuries.
“Is that a medicine?” the old man inquired.
“Yes. This is a medicine powder.” Xiao Tian responded, “My lover was the one who made this.”
“Your lover was the one who made that medicine powder?” the old man said in surprise.
“Yes.” Xiao Tian replied as he nodded his head.
“Then your lover is a genius doctor then.” The old man suddenly turned his head to look at Crystal. “Now I finally know why you two are not a couple.”
“Elder, Xiao Tian is a playboy.” Crystal uttered, “He has more than one girlfriend, you know?”
“What?” the older said in surprise.
