Ox, Crane, Pig

Tsssssssss

The sound of the steam coming out of the ox's nose was a pain to the ears, it was like being poked by a needle in your eardrums.

"Thread, do your job!"

With his precise control, the thread spun at high speeds around his ears redirecting the sound elsewhere.

"Since it can do this, the fat ox is around my level. Let's go then!"

Shi Hu couldn't wait any longer and rushed in like he was courting death. He jumped on the cloud floor and flew above the ox.

A good idea came to mind and he tied the thread to his sword. He named it the "String Sword" a very fitting name to say the least.

"Go!"

The sword and thread went down and he started to swing it around like he was whipping an ox, which he was indeed doing.

It spun around making vortexes of wind yet it could only scratch the big guy. It was so durable that even if Shi Hu self destructed, it would only barely be killed, maybe even survive.

"System! What is this bs!?"

[The physique of the bandit ranks first in th–]

"I DONT GIVE A SHIT!"

His argument witht he system attracted the attention of the ox, who seemed to be completely oblivious to the strikes it had received.

"MOO!"

"Huh? Aren't you an ox? Do oxen moo?"

Shi Hu was slapped out of the air like a fly and got beaten half to death from ti's tail wagging around. It seemed hopeless to fight such a monstrous being.

[Host, would you like to buy an ox killing machine for 10 points?]

"How much do I have?"

[You have 9 points]

"Huh? How do I get the final one?"

[...you can sacrifice your cultivation and fall back to the 9nth stage of black warrior realm]

"Your joking me right? Fine I'll take it, was this your plan all along you sneaky son of a–:

[Success, enjoy the ox killing machine!]

"Can I buy a Crane and pig killing machine too?"

[No, you'll see why soon enough.]

"You're starting to feel like an actual person"

[How could I be a person. I am the system!]

"I know."

A huge metal box appeared out of thin air and dropped on the divine ox. It looked really crazy from Shi Hu's perspective.

Suddenly blood started to gush out of the box and Shi Hu grimaced, "What the hell is that! So disgusting."

[Absorb Divine Ox cultivation+Innate Ability?]

Shi Hu's eyes glimmered and he accepted immediately, "yes yes yes yes."

A rush of power was felt throughout his body as he gained innate spirit realm cultivation. A small core appeared in his dantian and he is now able to actually fly.

The innate ability of the divine ox wa just for defense and nothing else, it gave Shi Hu a shield of his energy that'd protect him from danger automatically.

"Ah, so that means I'm so insignificant it didn't even consider me dangerous and it's shield didn't activate...should I be happy or sad?"

[No time for sorrows, Host, it's time to fight the Vermillion blood crane]

"Alright let's go."

He once again appeared somewhere else, it was dark red everywhere and super sorry, "WHAT THE!?"

"Blargh!"

After throwing up a few times, Shi Hu cleared away the bodies and carnage around him with fire.

"Fitting name for it. Except cranes are supposed to majestic and white, not red, why did it have to be red? Blue would've been just fine."

Once again, something pained his ears out of the blue. This time it was the cranes mating calls, even after years it never gave up looking for a mate.

"Hah if only my past life could've had someone like it. Ah nevermind I'm gonna cook it anyway."

He flew in the direction at fast speeds, hitting a few indestructible walls along the way causing him to bleed a bit.

"Ah yeth you thupid botth! I'm heth to slay you!"

He also busted his mouth a little bit.

"Are you a human?"

Shi Hu looked at the crane in confusion, "you can talk?"

"Another frog in a well...of course right can talk. All innate spirit realm beasts can talk, although I'd consider myself above a beast."

"Above a beast my ass! Come here so I can turn you into chicken wings!"

The crane spat put blood red liquid that dissolved everything it touched. Fortunately Shi Hu is a really capable guy and his silver thread already wrapped aprund the crane.

"Die."

The thread tightened and cut through the crane, turning into a bunch of bite sized pieces, it actually didn't smell too bad like the hundreds of dead bodies in the beginning.

[Absorb its cultivation and innate ability?]

"Don't ask me twice you know my answer."

Another surge in power came and he reached the third stage of Innate Spirit realm. The innate ability was also insignificant and could strengthen defenses when bleeding. Why would he use that when he's planning not to bleed?

"Is it time for the final ant to be crushed? Send me away!"

[Yes, Host.]
