"Shoo…"

The immense Kirin Herd was momentarily thrown into chaos. At that moment, some higher and stronger male Scale Horses broke out, surrounding Lin Zhuang from all sides.

These mature male Scale Horses, whether in terms of combat power or experience, were even more formidable. Gleaming with blood traces and sharp teeth, covered with Scale Armor, they are not easy to deal with on a first look.

They emerged from all directions, surprisingly dividing the battlefield and separating Lin Zhuang from the Kirin Herd.

In the Wilderness, Ferocious Beasts were born from the Heaven and Earth, their wisdom wasn't weaker than humans, some powerful Ferocious Beasts even had much higher intelligence than humans, laying traps to hunt humans.

"Hisss hisss hisss…"

In the field, dozens of mature male Scale Horses whinnied in unison, launched their attack directly after distancing themselves from the Kirin Herd.

"Come on!"

Lin Zhuang's expression remained unfazed, he wanted to test his current strength, thus decided not to hold back any more. His body leaned forward like a Garuda Bird spreading its wings. Bright Runes flashed all over his body turning into a magnificent, mountain-like force, sweeping towards these mature male Scale Horses.

Midair, Runes filled the sky. Several mature male Scale Horses were thrown into the air like straws even before they got close, bumping into hard rocks on the sides, they couldn't even crawl up for a long time.

While Male Scale Horses were strong, this only applied to regular Ferocious Beasts. Now Lin Zhuang had not only advanced into the Cultivation Second Realm and opened Two Rounds of Cave Sky, his strength had increased several-fold compared to before, naturally, he felt no pressure.

"Brother Zhuang, feel free to show off your skills up front, we'll take care of the mess behind."

A group of men stormed out following him, swinging the Beast Tendons in their hands to quickly tie up the dizzy mature male Scale Horses.

At the same time, a team was assigned to carry the tied-up Scale Horses back to the village.

Everyone in Liu Village practiced Cultivation of Physical Refinement scripture. Even though the degree varied, even the weakest of them could muster nearly a thousand pounds of strength by swinging their arms, so lifting these Scale Horses wasn't much of a challenge.

Quickly, all the male Scale Horses that had rushed in were down on the ground, temporarily losing their mobility.

"Yuyuyu…" At this moment, the Kirin Herd was completely panicked, many Scale Horses began to flee, reaching a relatively safe distance before looking back at Lin Zhuang's subsequent actions.

Lin Zhuang chose to stop.

Scale Horses had a rather violent temperament, not everyone could ride them, the ones they had gathered were enough for the village's daily use.

Moreover, if they pushed too hard, it was easy to scare the Kirin Herd away. Draining the pond to get the fish wasn't a sustainable solution, he needed a continuous supply.

"Brother Zhuang, we've caught thirty-seven Scale Horses."

Someone counted the harvest with an excited expression on his face.

"That should be enough. For the time being, we should not disturb the Kirin Herd. Once these thirty-something Scale Horses are incorporated into our lives, they will naturally attract other Scale Horses."

Lin Zhuang nodded and said to the men around him.

"Don't worry Brother Zhuang, we don't have your kind of strength." The men replied in unison, all of them well aware of their own abilities, the fact that they got carried away earlier was just because of their greed.

At the entrance of Liu Village, Scale Horses were continuously being carried back. They piled up at the entrance in no time at all, creating an astonishing scene.

This scene even startled Old man Lin who was cautiously observing the Five-Colored Chickens nearby.

As soon as he realized it was the Scale Horses, Old man Lin quickly took one without hesitation from Lin Zhuang, on the pretext, that he needed it for transportation due to his old age.

Apart from him, Tu Wa Zi came over, but he chose to do it himself. He took advantage of the chaos within the Kirin Herd and caught one.

On the other hand, Gu Chen didn't move from start to finish. He thought he was too young, riding a horse was too dangerous, he decided to wait for a couple of years.

That night.

Inside Liu Village, the bonfires raged, and huge chunks of beast meat were brought out, placed on specially made grill racks. The outer skin was golden under their intense roasting. Non-stop crackling sounds could be heard as the meat sizzled with fat. The mouth-watering scent was so strong that you could smell it from a distance.

People had completely stopped worrying about where they were, hearts completely let loose, eating meat and drinking meat soup in large mouthfuls.

In the following days,

Under the lead of Old man Lin, they opened up large tracts of wasteland behind the village, specifically for planting wild wheat and other grain crops.

In addition, they also specifically set aside a piece of land mainly used for resting, feeding, and training the several dozes Kirin Herd.

Women in Liu Village were also busy, specifically tidying up several large plots of land to serve as vegetable gardens, sowing some common vegetable seeds.

From sunrise to sunset, the days of the villagers in Liu Village were full and happy, as several months passed by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, just as dawn was breaking.

Old man Lin was busy leading the village's children in their daily studies.

Just at that moment, "clack clack clack…" the moments of sharp horse hoofs could be heard from outside the village.

The trotting of horse hoofs stirred up gusts of dust and spatters of water that clearly made their way into the Liu Village…

Immediately after.

Several hundred meters away from the village entrance, dozens of black shadows appeared from the end of the horizon, all riding sturdy stallions.

The iron hooves splashed dust, and they rode against the wind, their silver manes flowing behind them.

"Not good, bandits!", Old man Lin was the first to arrive upon hearing the news, and from afar he could clearly see the figures atop those tall horses.

However, when he clearly recognized their dressing, his face suddenly changed. He recognized these strangely dressed people.

In the Wilderness, the viciousness of bandits and the ferocious beasts that eat humans were equally notorious.

They not only rob money and goods, but women are also their prime targets. If slightly unhappy, they would directly massacre the village, extremely brutal. Old man Lin still had a deep impression of them from his younger years.

There were not few bandits, but not every mountain range had them, he did not expect that they would have such bad luck, scarcely had they settled down here for a few days they encountered such brutal forces.

It s just a few bandits, as long as they dare to invade our Liu Village, we'll ensure they'll be unable to return.", Brother Zhuang's whole body was full of momentum, his face showing disdain.

He truly had the confidence to say this.

The Two Rounds of Cave Sky cultivation had him brimming with vigorous energy and a light body. He appeared to have endless strength and a casual punch could unleash a terrifying power force of nearly a hundred thousand pounds, indeed making him unrivaled.

"Boss, something feels not quite right about this village.",

At this moment, outside the village, the horse hoofs were rustling.

A line of black-robed figures abruptly pulled at the reins, causing the men and horses to neigh – startling the earth.

Leading them was a man in his thirties, a full-bearded chin, twirling his sideburns with his hand – his muscular body bulged like a horned dragon, his physique robust with a bull-like vigor. His facial features were rugged and robust – even from afar, one could sense a violent intention emanating from him. His hands were probably soaked in the blood of countless people; he seemed far from being benevolent, brimming with ferocity.

Next to the rugged man, stood a tall, thin, average-looking young man, also with a fierce look on his face, clearly not a good player.

The one who had opened his mouth was this very man.

"It's just a village, what could be wrong with it? We've been wreaking havoc here for so many years, what's there to be afraid of?"

The rugged middle-aged man didn't see it that way, cursing and shouting in return..
