"I see."
Wang Ping nodded at Chifeng's answer, not surprised.
Chifeng was just a child, everything he knew was from the village elder, so it was impossible for him to understand everything.
Even the village elder might not be familiar with the situation beyond the Innate Realm.
It was surprising enough for Wang Ping that a village elder was aware of the details of the three major realms.
This also indirectly showed how extraordinary the village elder and this village were.
"Big brother, let's go and meet the hunting party. I tell you, every return of the hunting party is the most lively time in the village, there's never-ending meat to eat!"
At this moment, Chifeng dragged Wang Ping out, his throat rolling, swallowing saliva, appearing gluttonous.
At this, Wang Ping staggered, nearly fell down, could only say helplessly: "Chifeng, I can walk on my own, you dragging me like this, I might trip easily."
It sounded embarrassing for him to admit that he, an adult, might not be able to keep up with a child.
However, considering that this was a world with extraordinary power, Wang Ping was at peace with it.
"I'm sorry." Hearing Wang Ping's words, Chifeng stopped in embarrassment, scratched his hair and said, "I forgot that big brother, you're just a scholar, feeble and delicate."
"..." Wang Ping's face twitched.
Although this was just a child's unintentional remark, it was indeed quite embarrassing.
He made up his mind to come up with ways to become stronger!
As a man, he absolutely couldn't be seen as weak and sickly!
...
Soon, Wang Ping followed Chifeng to the village entrance.
The village entrance was bustling at this time.
All the villagers were here, welcoming the hunting party.
Wang Ping looked around and was shocked.
The members of the hunting squad were men over two meters tall, wearing beast skins, with all kinds of prey beside them.
These prey were all oddly shaped, and generally as big as an elephant.
Most importantly, even though these prey were dead, they gave him a strong sense of danger.
This feeling, to describe it, was as if he was alone in the wilderness facing a hunting tiger. It was heart-pounding.
"The uncles and aunts of the hunting squad are truly amazing. This time's hunting gains are so huge. They even caught a black wind leopard, a massive 5th-tier demonic beast that is as strong as the Innate Realm!"
Chifeng looked at the strong members of the hunting squad and their prey, speaking with a face full of admiration.
Hearing Chifeng's words, Wang Ping couldn't help but be surprised.
Hunting a 5th-tier demonic beast comparable to the Innate Realm?
The information in this statement was shocking.
Although Wang Ping knew this village was extraordinary, he didn't expect it to be so powerful, capable of hunting beasts from the Innate Realm.
At the same time, Wang Ping felt incredibly fortunate and terrified.
Since this village was so powerful, and they hunted beasts from the Innate Realm in this forest, one could imagine how dangerous this forest was.
If he had decided to survive a night outside the village, waiting for the life simulator's simulation times to reset, he would probably have ended up as miserable as No. 36 Traveler.
Luckily, he gathered his courage and made the right choice, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable.
"Indeed, even having something as powerful as the life simulator, I can't guarantee my own safety, danger truly is everywhere."
Wang Ping gave a bitter smile, and his understanding of the dangers of traversing has deepened once again.
"Chifeng, you're finally willing to go out... I apologize, it's my fault that I couldn't protect your parents."
Just then, a strong man carrying a large sword walked over, touched Chifeng's head and said remorsefully.
"It's not Uncle Chi Hu's fault. My father and mother chose themselves to stay behind... They are the pride of the village. Besides, I have decided to climb to the Martial Peak and resurrect my parents."
Chifeng clenched his fist, speaking with a determined face.
Chih Hu sighed inwardly and said, "Hmm, then you should practice your martial skills diligently. I will train you strictly."
Climbing to Martial Peak and reviving his parents sounds impossible even thinking about it.
Of course, since Chifeng had finally become strong, he wouldn't ruthlessly shatter the child's illusion.
"You're Wang Ping, right? The village chief told me about you, thank you for what you did for Chifeng. In this village, I'm the one who teaches martial arts to the children. If you want to learn martial arts, come to the Drill Ground tomorrow with Chifeng."
Chih Hu then looked at Wang Ping and spoke warmly.
"If Brother Chih Hu says so, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ping gave a light laugh and gave a bow with his hands.
"Of course, there's no need for courtesy. However, you have to be prepared, my training is very rigorous, and it may be too hard for you. Of course, with medicinal potions and monster beast flesh to nourish you, you certainly won't die."
Chih Hu grinned, slapping Wang Ping on his shoulder.
"...."
Wang Ping's face stiffened, feeling a sense of foreboding.
However, even though he felt the coming days would be misery, he's determined to become stronger through martial training and have the ability to protect himself, he didn't intend to back down at all.
Then, under the enthusiastic lead of Chih Hu, Wang Ping came to know many people in the village.
The sky gradually darkened, the moon hanging high, the forest occasionally echoed with the chirping of birds and insects, and the roars of monsters.
The thirty hunters in the village were all drinking heavily, discussing their hunting expriences.
The children were playing happily.
Chifeng was among them.
And the women and elderly people in the village were all cooking, dealing with the monster meat, preparing a hearty feast.
As for the rice, it was already being cooked before Wang Ping entered the village, ready to be eaten straight away.
Seeing all this, Wang Ping inexplicably felt a sense of warmth and security.
"Even though there is danger everywhere, I'm really lucky. After traversing, I was able to live in a village like this right away."
Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh.
Afterwards, Wang Ping opened the chat group, wanting to see if there were any messages.
As Wang Ping opened the chat group, he found that people were mentioning him and discussing him to varying degrees.
Wu Jun (20): "@Wang Ping so many times and he hasn't appeared, has something really happened to him?"
Liu Mei (15): "The number of survivors in the group hasn't decreased, which means he's not dead. Of course, it doesn't rule out the possibility of being stung by a poisonous bug and fainting, now waiting to die."
Fang Yun (3): "Newbie Aha, my newbie, your death is so miserable. This time's newbies are wiped out again, it's too tragic."
Zhang Hu (5): "Let's wait a bit more. Perhaps in a while, we'll get a system prompt and then we could use the death replay."
...
Looking at the chat group messages, Wang Ping's forehead vein popped.
Immediately, he responded in the chat.
Wang Ping (66): "Can you all stop? I didn't respond for just an hour or two, and you guys are here cursing my death, that's simply toxic."
