To be quite honest, if it wasn't for him consuming that Tier 2 All-Purpose Antidote Pill before, he was one hundred percent certain to have died a miserable death by now, as the difference between the Spirit Profound Realm and the Nascent Profound Realm was two entire major realms; not to mention the fact that he was not even at the peak of the Nascent Profound Realm.
Despite this, it might have been better for him if he had died instantly instead, as the excruciating pain from the Greenwood Sky Snake King's venom was something no normal human could bear. In fact, all around him, the screams of agony had slowly started to die down, as currently, there was no longer any profound beast at the Nascent Profound Realm around him.
All that remained were a few spiritual beasts at the True Profound Realm, and they barely had enough attention to spare for their own injuries, let alone him—a strange Grayscale Wolf of the Nascent Profound Realm who somehow survived a direct attack from a Spirit Profound Realm beast.
Shit... I can't fucking pass out here... I need to fucking keep running.
Thankfully, it seemed as if the Greenwood Sky Snake King also didn't believe that the true perpetrator of its beloved son's death was still alive, as it was now looking into the distance, thinking that the true mastermind behind this atrocity was the human sect that bordered its territory in the Greenwood Forest.
That's right—the Greenwood Sky Snake King was currently looking directly at Reshi City; more specifically, it was looking right at the territory of the Azure Dragon Sect.
WHOOSH!
All of a sudden, a massive gust of wind erupted from the Greenwood Sky Snake King as it instantly flew off into the distance, creating a miniature tornado that caused him, along with the few remaining spiritual beasts, to fly like ragdolls into the distance.
"AHHHHHHHH, SHIT!"
As the massive tornado enveloped all of them, the crimson-haired woman—who, surprisingly, was also the only remaining living being in the Nascent Profound Realm in her area—was also thrown off into the distance. The difference was that she was now currently surrounded by a massive crimson sphere made of sand.
What the heck is that wom—
BOOM!
Before he could even think about what was going on, all of a sudden, he was smashed into numerous massive trees as the wind from the tornado finally disappeared and the Greenwood Sky Snake King flew off into the horizon.
Huang Shi, on the other hand, still looked like a Grayscale Wolf for some reason, but the disguise for his techniques had long since disappeared; thus, right now, his golden flames and crimson lightning were surrounding his wolf-like body.
Shit... alright, I'm still a damn wolf... what the fuck is happening right now, System?!
Huang Shi let out an inward roar that sounded like a wolf's howl resounding through the broken forest, as his injuries—which were already quite severe—left him almost incapacitated as he lay down on the ground panting.
[THE HOST IS RECOMMENDED TO CALM DOWN HIS EMOTIONS SO THEY DO NOT INTERFERE WITH HIS DECISIONS. CURRENTLY, THE THOUSAND FACE MASK IS MALFUNCTIONING BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN FORCED INTO DOING SOMETHING IT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO; IT WILL TAKE AROUND 3 HOURS FOR IT TO RECALIBRATE, AND AFTER THAT, IT CAN THEN BE USED TO IMITATE SPIRITUAL BEASTS FROM NOW ON.]
Huang Shi, who had been quietly listening to the System's words while shivering in rage, suddenly howled once more.
AWOOO!!!
FUCKING SHIT!!! ARE YOU TELLING ME I HAVE TO STAY AS A DAMN WOLF FOR A WHILE?!
As he was screaming out in misery, making howling sounds like an actual wolf, what he didn't realize was that just a few meters beside him was the crimson-haired woman that he previously ogled in the distance.
Large parts of her body were currently emerald green, as parts of her muscles and bones had been exposed; clearly, the poison had gotten to her, and even though she has a higher cultivation base than him, because her antidote pill was not as good, she was currently about to die.
Huang Shi, who was still in wolf form by the way, finally calmed down after a few minutes of screaming and howling, as he then bought another antidote pill and an extra healing pill from the System for a grand total of 15,000 Scum Points.
[SCUM POINTS: 29,000]
Fuck, why do these things have to be so damn expensive?!
As he consumed both the antidote pill and the healing pill, finally his wounds started to stabilize, as he was now able to move around his wolf body for a bit.
Shit... this being a wolf thing is so fucking annoying... but I guess the nose is good.
SNIFF SNIFF
Taking advantage of his increased sense of smell, he started looking around the place he was at, trying to figure out where he was.
I need to get back to the sect ASAP, I need to make sure Grandfather and Mei'er are okay... fuck...
Truthfully, he had already talked to his grandfather and his Mei'er about what he had been doing in the Greenwood Forest for the past couple of weeks.
For his grandfather, he talked to him about his current whereabouts, what he was doing, his current strength, and what he was planning to do in regards to the Azure Dragon Sect competition, which was only a few days away.
As for his Li Mei, well, most of the things she was asking about were about his experiences with Bai Xinyue, what he thought of her, what kind of relationship they had, how they met, etc.
Of course, because he couldn't possibly disclose everything that happened through a communication talisman, he promised her that he would tell her everything once he got back to the sect.
Hopefully my plan works out and the sect truly does have a Spirit Profound Realm cultivator protecting it from the background and they send him out to deal with the Greenwood Sky Snake King, or I'm gonna be royally fucked.
